As if seeing through the doubts in Qiao Ruoyu's heart, Qi Mucheng explained: "Lu Xiaorong is going back to the United States, maybe I will never see her again in this life, after all, she was kind to my mother back then, and it is more appropriate to see her for the last time." ”

What Qiao Ruowei didn't know was that since Emperor Yao survived the crisis, the company's stock market had been rising well, and the Lu family had been dragged down a lot by Aurora because of its previous cooperation with Aurora Group.

There are no eternal friends in the mall, only eternal interests.

Even if the two families had a quarrel before, who would have trouble with money.

Even if you can't become a relative, you don't need to be an enemy who never gets along.

"So, you're going to take me to a banquet?"

Qiao Ruowei finally grasped the point, and she immediately shook her head: "I don't want to go, what does the Lu family's banquet have to do with me." ”

Qi Mucheng said: "I didn't have it before, but now I'm going, and you are my girlfriend." ”

was stared at by him with a serious face and said the word "girlfriend", Qiao Ruoyu's face was slightly red.

A little embarrassed to stagger his gaze: "I...... Who says girlfriend is going to go? ”

Looking at her shy appearance, Qi Mucheng smiled in his voice, "Then you plan to let me bring other female companions over?" ”

"Of course not." Qiao Ruowei frowned, "Can't you just go alone?" ”

Qi Mucheng hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The relationship between you and me has been announced to the public, if I don't take you to the banquet, those media will write nonsense." ”

It seems like...... That's true.

Qiao Ruowei was silent for a few seconds, a little entangled: "But I'm afraid that if I pass, Lu Xiaorong will definitely be unhappy, and when the time comes, I will embarrass you at the banquet again......"

She didn't care what Lu Xiaorong would say about her, anyway, when she was in the research institute before, there was no shortage of rumors.

It's just that Qi Mucheng, after all, is the president of the Imperial Medicine Group, if Lu Xiaorong embarrasses Qi Mucheng at the banquet again, it will not only affect his reputation, but also the company's image.

However, Qi Mucheng patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think about this, Lu Xiaorong is ...... now It's really not the same as before. ”

Qiao Ruoyu didn't know what he meant by the difference, and looked at him suspiciously.

Qi Mucheng explained: "Since Chang Xuan's death, Lu Xiaorong's personality has changed a lot, the last time Lu Xiaorong's parents brought her to me, at that time, Lu Xiaorong personally said that she wanted to apologize to you.

Chang Xuan used to take the most care of her, and he was by her side no matter what time she was, but for so many years, Lu Xiaorong had always regarded Chang Xuan as a dispensable existence, and when Chang Xuan was gone, she knew what it meant to lose. ”

"Ugh."

Qiao Ruowei was speechless for a while, so she had to sigh softly.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, hurry up and change your clothes, try if this dress fits, and if it fits, buy it."

Qiao Ruowei was no longer entangled, turned around and entered the fitting room.

I have to say that you get what you pay for, and this nearly 90,000 skirt is first-class in terms of quality and style.

When she walked out in her skirt, Qi Mucheng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Qiao Ruowei has white skin, and her skin is as white as the moon in such a skirt, and the waist design in the middle reflects her beautiful curves......

Qi Mucheng pursed his lips, and suddenly regretted that he let Qiao Ruoyu wear such a skirt to the banquet.

Looking in the mirror, Qiao Ruoyu smiled with satisfaction, and she looked at Qi Mucheng expectantly: "What do you think?" ”

The man couldn't help her bright eyes, smiled, and bowed slightly: "It's beautiful." ”

It is rare to hear Qi Mucheng praise people, Qiao Ruoyu's ears turned red, and when she thought of the price of this dress, it was still a little painful.

"I think...... Let's change it, this one...... I don't really like the style. ”

How could Qi Mucheng not see her little Jiujiu.

What don't you like, the happy look when you looked in the mirror just now, where is it like you don't like it?

Silently took out the card from the wallet and handed it to the female clerk next to her, and the female clerk turned out to whisper a little wait, and then left quickly.

Qi Mucheng quietly settled the account.

……

After walking out with her skirt, Qiao Ruowei always felt that something was wrong.

Pulling Qi Mucheng's arm, she reconfirmed: "Is what you just said true?" We were the ninety-ninth couple to enter the store, so the skirt was given to us at half price? ”

"This is not what I said, obviously it was said by the store manager just now, I really don't know if what she said is true."

Qi Mucheng finished explaining with a straight face, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that he asked the clerk to say these words to Qiao Ruoyu.

Why...... It's not because this little girl is distressed about the price and won't let him buy it, only after saying so can I feel that I picked up a cheap price and bought it painfully.

The venue of the banquet was set at the Sindora Hotel, and at nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Mucheng took Qiao Ruoyu to the banquet.

When she arrived at the scene, Qiao Ruowei knew how big the Lu family's banquet was arranged this time.

It is no less than the engagement ceremony of Qi Mucheng and Lu Xiaorong last time.

Thinking of that engagement ceremony, Qiao Ruowei felt uncomfortable for a while.

I always feel that I came here today, where is weird.

"What's wrong, you're not feeling well?"

Noticing that Qiao Ruoyu's face was not very good, Qi Mucheng asked with concern.

Qiao Ruowei shook her head: "It's okay, I was thinking just now, if Lu Xiaorong saw me coming with you, she wouldn't feel uncomfortable, and her parents ......."

patted her on the shoulder, Qi Mucheng said lightly: "I told you everything." Now Lu Xiaorong has changed, and the invitation letter was handed over to me by her parents, and I must bring you to attend, so don't think so much. ”

Qiao Ruoyu nodded slightly.

Soon, as soon as Qi Mucheng walked into the banquet hall with her, many people came around, all of whom were a little excited to toast Qi Mucheng.

"Mr. Qi, I haven't seen each other for a long time, this time ......"

The polite official tone was endless, Qiao Ruowei stood on the edge of Qi Mucheng with a smile and listened, wearing ten-centimeter stiletto heels under her feet, she felt tired after standing for a while.

His face was sour.

As if he saw Qiao Ruowei's exhaustion, he whispered in his ear: "You find a place to sit for a while, and I'll go over after the party." ”

Qiao Ruowei nodded: "Okay." ”

Sitting down on the sofa not far away, the table was full of delicate desserts, and she felt hungry when she saw them.

While eating, he looked in the direction of Qi Mucheng.

There were more than a dozen middle-aged men around him, some bald, some with beer bellies, and a few with elegant demeanors, smiling at him and saying something, he looked down and listened, his side face was handsome and quiet, and he would nod his head from time to time, and the person talking next to him would be excited.

After eating a small plate of dessert, Qiao Ruowei didn't dare to eat it anymore, the waist of her skirt was a little tight, she was afraid that if she ate it, her stomach would not look good.

I don't know when I started caring about my image, it seems that after falling in love with Qi Mucheng, she wears clothes a lot more seriously than before when she goes out.

"You're Dr. Joe, aren't you?"

The familiar soft voice came into her ears, and Qiao Ruoyu followed the prestige, and saw Xuan Xue in a lilac mesh skirt standing beside her, smiling, and holding two glasses of red wine in her hand.

As he spoke, he had already smiled and handed a glass of wine to Qiao Ruoyu.

"Thank you." Thanking her softly, Qiao Ruoyu took the wine glass, but she didn't plan to drink it.

Xuan Xue calmly sat down beside Qiao Ruoyu, her movements and posture were elegant, and she couldn't find fault with her whole body, which was very exquisite.

"I heard Xiaorong say that you, I've known Mu Cheng for so long, and you are her first girlfriend."

Xuan Xue looked at her with a smile and said slowly, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes were full of kindness, and Qiao Ruowei unconsciously relaxed her guard a little.

She smiled, brushing a strand of hair from her ear.

Xuan Xue said again: "Actually, I used to be very curious about what kind of girlfriend Mu Cheng would find, and sure enough, he didn't disappoint me and chose an excellent girl like you." ”

This sentence surprised Qiao Ruoyu a little.

Qi Mucheng told her about Xuan Xue's identity, she was Lu Xiaorong's aunt, because the two were of the same age and were good playmates when they were children, she thought that Xuan Xue would help Lu Xiaorong speak, and disgusted her for appearing next to Qi Mucheng.

Qiao Ruowei smiled, not modest: "He is also very good, so it suits me." ”

Xuan Xue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but she still kept a smile, took a sip of the wine glass elegantly, and then said, "It seems that Miss Qiao is not only excellent, but also quite humorous." ”

Qiao Ruoyu kept a polite smile and pretended not to hear the teasing in Xuan Xue's tone.

As he was talking, Qi Mucheng walked up to Qiao Ruoyu and sat down.

Seeing that Xuan Xue was beside her, Qiao Ruoyu noticed that Qi Mucheng's eyes were much more indifferent than just now.

Xuan Xue still smiled kindly and beautifully: "Long time no see, Mu Cheng." ”

Her tone was pro, and outsiders thought that the relationship between the two was good.

"It won't be long." Qi Mucheng said lightly.

Holding Qiao Ruowei's hand, Qi Mucheng said again: "I'll take her to say hello to Xiaorong's parents first, I'm sorry." ”

Feeling Qi Mucheng's indifference, the smile on Xuan Xue's face stiffened a lot, Qiao Ruoyu glanced at Qi Mucheng strangely, and just about to say something, she was already led by Qi Mucheng.

Walking to the other side of the banquet hall, Qiao Ruoyu asked, "Are you familiar with Xuan Xue before?" ”

Hearing this, the man frowned, and his tone was even colder than just now: "Not familiar." ”

The more this happened, the more Qiao Ruoyu felt that something was wrong.

But she doesn't have the habit of getting to the bottom of it.

Nodding, she sat quietly beside Qi Mucheng and didn't say anything more.

Originally, Qi Mucheng wanted to take her to meet Lu Xiaorong's parents, but Qiao Ruowei didn't want to see them, those two people were strangers to her.

Qi Mucheng didn't embarrass her, and then he went over.

Lu Xiaorong walked to Qiao Ruoyu's side at some point.

"I didn't expect that in the end, he still chose to be with you."

Qiao Ruowei was startled, turned her face and looked at it for a few seconds, only to see that the girl next to her who was wearing a Lolita skirt and heavy makeup was Lu Xiaorong.

Lu Xiaorong looked quite calm.

But Qiao Ruowei felt very embarrassed.
