Chapter 224: The Dinner Party
Now Xiao Yijing is most afraid of staying in the hospital, since he crossed over here, he has always dealt with the hospital, although he lives in a very high-class place, but this heart is always uncomfortable.
So when Jiang Xin said those words, she quickly nodded in agreement. But when she heard that it was the birthday of the master of the Qiao family, she had a stump in her heart.
If she is not mistaken, the Qiao family seems to have something to do with Xiao Zhenglong. It's just that no one knows the relationship behind this layer, including Shen Jinhai, of course.
The status of the Qiao family in the business circle is no less than that of the Shen family, but the business of the two families is different, and there is almost no conflict, so the two families have always maintained a good relationship. And when Shen's father was still there, they would often cooperate on some small projects and develop other side hustles.
The master of the Qiao family has a big birthday, and the Shen family naturally wants to go to the scene.
But Xiao Yijing had a trace of other thoughts at this juncture.
Xiao Zhenglong, who was supposed to die in prison, came out, could it be the strength of the Qiao family? But all this was unknown, and she only dared to guess. After all, she herself doesn't know the real plot.
But when she was connected to these, she had more eyes on the Qiao family.
Xiao Yijing was discharged from the hospital the next day, and she wanted to go directly to the company, but she was opposed by Shen Jinhai and strictly forbade her to go out. In desperation, Xiao Yijing had no choice but to carry the computer to work at home and ask for documents remotely from the department.
In fact, she did this to make the old lady change her opinion of herself, otherwise she seemed to have a big stone in her heart that was always uncomfortable in her throat.
That night, Shen Jinhai came back from work and brought a delicate gift box.
He pushed open the door of the study and put the gift box on the desk, at this time, Xiao Yijing's eyes looked over suspiciously and asked, "Huh?" What is it? ”
Shen Jinhai stepped forward and opened the lid of the gift box, only to see that it was a dark green satin dress, the style was simple, and the fine cut and textured fabric made it look different and very special.
She couldn't help but take out the dress: "Is this for me?" ”
Shen Jinhai smiled slightly, and leaned on the bookshelf casually: "I specially picked the one for you to attend the dinner tomorrow, how do you like it?" ”
Xiao Yijing nodded with great satisfaction, looked at the treasure carefully and carefully looked at the skirt, and then couldn't wait to stroke it on her body, the soft texture made the skirt look high-end.
But as soon as she thought of wearing herself, she couldn't help but worry: "Is it appropriate to accompany you to the birthday banquet tomorrow?" ”
Although this skirt is not revealing, the high-end texture makes it look valuable, much like going to a custom dinner or special occasion to wear, birthday banquet, it is really inappropriate to think about it.
Shen Jinhai shook his head unhurriedly and responded: "It's suitable, you'll know when you go tomorrow, go and try it and see the size." ”
Seeing his affirmative answer, Xiao Yijing had no extra worries. Shen Jinhai must be more experienced than her on this occasion, and he knows better than anyone what to wear and what not to wear.
After Xiao Yijing followed Shen Jinhai to the dinner venue the next day, she understood why Shen Jinhai said it was appropriate.
Because this is like a birthday banquet, it is like a large-scale celebrity party dinner, which is very bright. It's like walking the red carpet.
Looking at the various men and women in front of me, the women wearing all kinds of customized dresses are enchanting and shuttling through the crowd, no matter which one you choose, they are bright and beautiful, and they are very eye-catching.
Xiao Yijing had never participated in this kind of dinner party, and she was full of novelty for a while, and her eyes were straight.
And today, she was also modified from beginning to end under the stylist brought by Shen Jinhai. The long, black wavy curls were gently scattered behind him, and the originally light facial features showed a few charms under the background of makeup. But the clear eyes are like unpolluted spring water, and the people who look at it are very comfortable.
The charm and innocence of a light mature woman produced a great chemical reaction on Xiao Yijing's face, making her a dazzling presence even among the flowers.
Shen Jinhai was quite satisfied and took her with him, as if he wanted to announce to the whole world that this woman was his own.
As soon as they appeared, many people came to greet Shen Jinhai, and their eyes swept over Xiao Yijing beside them, intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Yijing was not easy to speak, and always responded to the scrutiny of others with a smile.
In the face of others' questions and scrutiny, Shen Jinhai would say one more sentence: "This is my fiancée." ”
As soon as the three words fiancée came out, it completely hit Xiao Yijing's heart, as if she had lost her soul. If it was a sweet dream, he would never wake up.
When they walked aside, a medium-thick male voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Jin Hai, you are here." ”
Xiao Yijing and Shen Jinhai turned around in unison, only to see two men in formal clothes walking towards them with champagne, one of them was much older, but well-maintained, and the other looked similar to Shen Jinhai.
Xiao Yijing was guessing their identities when he heard Shen Jinhai greet them politely and saluted, "Uncle Qiao, happy birthday." ”
Xiao Yijing was clear, it turned out that this was the master of the Qiao family. The one next to him is naturally the heir of the Qiao family, Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng also greeted Shen Jinhai politely, but the two were not very close, and the relationship was indifferent like strangers. However, when Qiao Feng saw Xiao Yijing, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "I don't know who this is?" ”
"My fiancée, Xiao Yijing."
Xiao Yijing hurriedly said hello, and the master of the Qiao family looked at it and laughed a few times.
"Yes, yes, Jin Hai is so blessed, his fiancée is so beautiful." The master of the Qiao family said politely, and then said a few words to Shen Jinhai, and during this period, Xiao Yijing saw Qiao Feng's gaze scanning back and forth between himself and Shen Jinhai, intentionally or unintentionally, with a strange look in his eyes.
Qiao Feng is very tall, his tough facial features and sturdy figure make him look rough and wild, and his uninhibited temperament is somewhat similar to Xue Hongzhen.
However, Qiao Feng has always had no intention of having a career at home, and he is very open outside, so compared with Shen Jinhai, who focuses on his career, the two are simply not the same world.
This also leads to the picture that even though the two families are world friends, the two of them are only nodding friends.
Recently, the owner of the Qiao family intended to hand over the Qiao family's property to Qiao Feng, so Qiao Feng gradually started to work on family affairs.
Xiao Yijing inadvertently met Qiao Feng's gaze at a certain point in time, only to see him looking at himself thoughtfully, as if he was looking deeply. Xiao Yijing was very uncomfortable, so he lowered his eyes as if he didn't see it, and pretended to whisper to Shen Jinhai and approached his ear, but only his lips moved, and he didn't speak.
Although Shen Jinhai was talking to others, Xiao Yijing's demeanor was discovered by him. After a pleasantry, he took Xiao Yijing to the infield of the hotel and asked softly: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yijing tugged at the corners of his mouth and said succinctly: "Just now I saw that Qiao Feng kept looking at us, and I didn't like it a little. ”
Shen Jinhai smiled slightly and held her slender fingers: "Don't pay attention to it." After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something, pointed to the chair not far away and said to her, "Uncle Qiao has something to discuss with me in private, you just sit there and wait for me, and I will come over soon." ”
Xiao Yijing nodded very understandingly, watching Shen Jinhai disappear from everyone's field of vision. In this brightly lit and crowded dinner venue, Xiao Yijing didn't dare to move around at will, after all, all the people here are people with status, and it is best to restrain yourself and not make more trouble.
Xiao Yijing retracted her gaze, took out her mobile phone from her small bag and was ready to pass the time, but she didn't expect that it didn't take long for Qiao Feng to walk up to her with two glasses of champagne.
"Miss Xiao."
