Chapter 8: The Mayor's Dinner
Liang Jiu didn't expect to meet Lin Bie at the mayor's wife's dinner.
Lin Bei wore a white shirt, ironed neatly and cleanly, with black suit pants, looking respectful and decent, he should have come with his parents, because the man who walked in front was elegant and noble, and as soon as he entered the hall, he attracted everyone's attention.
The Lin family is not to be underestimated in the entire business circle and politics.
Liang Jiu stood on the second floor and looked down, she was sent directly to the mayor's wife's lounge by the driver, but unfortunately the honorable lady didn't show up at all, only sent a few people in charge to send dresses and jewelry, and then she was fiddled around, dressed up as a lady, and continued to wait in the lounge on the second floor.
When everyone had astigmatism, she walked out of the lounge and watched the crowd pouring in at the entrance through the gap in the handrail of the staircase.
Lin Bei seemed to feel that someone was secretly observing him, he subconsciously looked up, and then fell into a pair of bright eyes.
Liang Jiu waved his hand at him, and the crystal bracelet on his wrist swayed with a faint light, and the chain was very heavy.
A few minutes before the dinner began, the mayor's wife came to Liang Jiu belatedly, it was a well-maintained lady, she looked at Liang Jiu with a friendly gaze, but there was also a distance.
The mayor's wife took Liang Jiu's hand and praised her as if she saw her daughter.
When the mayor's wife appeared with Liang Jiu, the originally noisy venue was quiet, and all eyes were focused on Liang Jiu, who was slowly going downstairs.
Everyone knows that today's protagonist is none other than this girl from afar.
*****
The mayor's wife took Liang Jiu to greet everyone, and when she came to the Lin family's father and son, Lin Bei said hello very gently.
"Miss Liang, speaking of which, your mother and I are still old acquaintances." Father Lin's tone was very kind, and even Lin Bei could hardly have such treatment.
"Uncle Lin, my mother told me that when she was in college, she was in the same school and different majors as you, and before I returned to China, she specially instructed me to come to your place to visit you, but I just transferred back and haven't adapted well, so I haven't been free." Liang Jiu's eyes were bent into crescents, and his long curly eyelashes were like a doll.
Lin Bei couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her carefully, today she was wearing a goose-yellow short skirt and beige shirt, taking advantage of her ruddy and fair complexion, which was similar to the sloppy Liang Jiu in the school.
"We welcome you at any time, I know that you and Lin Bei are still at the same table, if you need any help, just look for him, my son doesn't talk much and is a little dull, but he is a warm-hearted, you just call him." Father Lin groaned with a smile, and looked at Lin Bei beside him, "Lin Bei, I can put my words here, you are not allowed to bully Miss Liang." ”
Everyone laughed, and Lin Bei nodded slightly.
Lin Mu stepped forward, "Liang Jiu, are you still used to being alone in the country?" ”
Liang Jiu couldn't remember how many people cared about her in China today, she shook her head, "My mother has arranged it properly, and the classmates in the school are also very enthusiastic, everyone is very good to me, there is nothing unaccustomed." ”
Mother Lin saw that Liang Jiu's expression was a little more appreciative, and she nodded gently, "If you have time to come to the house to play, let Lin don't bring you here." ”
Lin Bei touched his nose, he always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
After greeting the important people at the dinner, Liang Jiu had already received no less than twenty invitations, except for Lin Bei's house, which she really wanted to go, she didn't want to have anything to do with the others.
She looked around the venue, and all the people who came today were people with heads and faces in the city, and she seemed to see that Qi Fatzi and his parents had also arrived, but she didn't see Lin Feifei or Cheng Fangyuan.
When she was wondering, Lin Bei came behind her at some point, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Liang Jiu saw that he was very close to him, so he remembered Cheng Fangyuan's words in the afternoon, and asked, "Why don't you see Lin Feifei or Cheng Fangyuan?" ”
Lin Bei looked at her, his dark eyes shining, "They are not from this circle. ”
"Huh?" Liang Jiu didn't understand, Cheng Fangyuan's family was an Internet company, and it was said that he got rich overnight, and his assets may be stronger than many people here.
Lin Bei looked at her as if she didn't understand, and said, "In the eyes of these people, Cheng Fangyuan's family is a nouveau riche, and Lin Feifei is not even a nouveau riche, do you understand?" ”
"So you don't like Lin Feifei?"
Lin Bei frowned, what kind of logic did she have, and said, "You don't want to mix with them, and your mother won't want to." ”
She looked up at him, "Don't be nosy. ”
Lin Bei's cold face turned to her, "Am I not right?" You know I'm telling the truth. ”
Liang Jiu turned around and wanted to leave, but his whisper came from behind, "You don't have to look down on me, how fake your smile is tonight, I suggest you look in the mirror yourself." ”
Liang Jiu didn't want to listen to his nonsense and walked out directly, along the way he met several people who had just spoken, those people's laughter was indeed very fake, with other intentions and pretentiousness, she imagined in her mind that she was standing next to the mayor's wife tonight, and she felt uncomfortable.
Bumped into a person head-on, and when Liang Jiu looked at it, it turned out to be a strange fat man.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing her ugly face, the fat man couldn't help but worry.
Although the two usually don't communicate, after all, they are in the same school and in the same club, and Qi Fat treats her as his own in his heart.
Liang Jiu shook his head, "It's a little uncomfortable, I'm going back." ”
The fat man saw that something was wrong, "Then you go back, I'll help you tell the mayor's wife." ”
Liang Jiu ran away almost the moment he nodded, but the next second he thought of Secretary Cui who was waiting outside, so what was the point of going out like this?
"Follow me."
Liang Jiu was stunned for a moment, when did Lin Bei follow again, and ...... Take her hand?
"It's a rare opportunity to go home later, do you really want to leave like this?" Lin Bei's tone was brisk, and he smiled, "If we don't leave, and they won't be able to find it, you come with me." ”
Liang Jiu looked at his delicate face and held his hand.
Now she was sure that Lin Bei definitely didn't have a phobia.
