Chapter 168: Bai's Banquet
"Not very familiar, just acquaintance." Shang Haowen said lightly, obviously not wanting to talk about it.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Yun Xiaoli didn't ask anymore, seeing that he was so cold to the Bai family, it really didn't matter much......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is three days later.
The exterior of the Crystal Garden Hotel, located in the most prosperous neighborhood of City A, is covered with special blue crystal glass, which is as mysterious as the blue crystal in the deep sea.
At the entrance of the hotel, the door is like a city, full of all kinds of luxury cars, and the guests who get off the car are dressed luxuriously, all of them are prominent people in City A, first-class magnates, celebrities and superstars......
At this time, a black Rolls-Royce was parked steadily on the side of the road.
A long figure slowly descended from the car, walked to the other side, and the gentleman opened the door.
A slender jade hand, gently resting on his hot palm, a beautiful shadow, got out of the car.
Shang Haowen carefully held her soft hand, and the two walked into the gorgeous hotel in front of them with elegant steps.
The powerful aura emanating from the two of them couldn't help but make the people around them stop.
Banquet hall on the third floor.
The ornate crystal chandeliers of the dome radiate a bright glow throughout the ballroom.
The columns of the venue are covered with dark purple and elegant ribbons, adding a sense of mystery and charm.
On the podium with a bright red carpet, the agent of the Bai family, holding the microphone with a smile on his face, communicated with the guests.
In the quiet lounge, on the elegant dark gold sofa, sat a slender figure, waist-length black hair draped over his shoulders, and a white lace headband was tied near the ends.
A snow-white spun long skirt set off her beautiful figure, and under a white rose on her shoulder, the flowing golden bead chain covered her white lotus arms, looming under the white veil......
Under the white skirt, the proud white plum is embroidered, which attracts people's attention.
Under Liu Yedai's eyebrows, a pair of innocent and moist big eyes, a calm, straight nose, a small cherry mouth, smeared with pink lip gloss, slightly sickly skin, white as jade......
"Is the merchant here?" Xiu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and a soft voice leaked out of his mouth, but there was no temperature.
Soon, you'll be able to meet him......
"It's not there yet, but it's time for you to show up." The assistant cautiously reminded that she was afraid that she would be angry.
"Ahem, got it, let's go." The woman coughed lightly twice and slowly got up.
The assistant hurriedly stepped forward and asked her to hold herself, deliberately slowing down her pace to match her pace.
Meanwhile.
There was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall, and Shang Haowen and Yun Xiaoli were surrounded by everyone's hearts.
The eyes of everyone in the venue fell on them, handsome faces, long figures, luxurious suits, and proud family backgrounds, each of which could make the women present flock to them.
However, when they saw the flame-like woman beside him, everyone instantly extinguished their minds......
A flamboyant red dress, dazzling and scorching, delicate makeup, slightly curly long hair, and delicate posture deeply attracted the attention of the men present......
Shang Haowen noticed the gaze that fell on her, his eyes were slightly dark, his long arms were wrapped, he stopped her by his side domineeringly, and silently swore sovereignty, this woman is his, no matter who it is, she can't covet it......
Unsuspectingly being taken into his arms, Yun Xiaoli's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness: "What are you doing?" β
Without saying a word, she began to attack suddenly, and she almost fell.
"Assert sovereignty." Shang Haowen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said proudly.
She was good enough to attract a lot of attention, and he was so unhappy that he wanted to hide her from anyone.
Noticing the domineering in his eyes, Yun Xiaoli couldn't help but hold his big palm, and said softly: "I only belong to you, and no one will snatch me away." β
He used to feel uneasy, too...... However, she likes such domineering very much.
Hearing this, Shang Haowen's thin lips hooked slightly, and her words successfully pleased him.
At this time, several company presidents who were familiar with Shang Haowen stepped forward to compliment
"The relationship between Shang Shao and Mrs. Ling is really envious of others."
"Shang Shao is really lucky to marry such a beautiful wife."
Shang Haowen was in a good mood and greeted them one by one, and introduced Yun Xiaoli to them by the way.
At this time, I don't know who said: "Mr. Bai is here." β
Everyone's compliments to Shang Haowen have only subdued a bit, after all, the protagonist of today's banquet is the Bai family.
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoli looked over curiously, she had not seen the president of the Bai clan yet.
When she saw the gentle woman in the long white dress, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked Shang Haowen quietly: "Haowen, is she the president of the Bai family?" β
I didn't expect that the boss of the Bai clan was actually a woman, and her face didn't look very good......
Raising his eyes to look at Bai Duoduo, Shang Haowen's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he responded in a deep voice: "Hmm." β
Unexpectedly, years later, they would meet again at this banquet, but he didn't really want to see her at all......
"I heard that her name is Bai Duoduo, and her name is quite gentle." Yun Xiaoli was quite curious about her, after all, she was not only the president of the Bai family, but also the heir of the Bai family.
The corners of Shang Haowen's mouth hooked a cool arc, his name is gentle, but it is diametrically opposed to himself......
"Welcome to the banquet held by the Bai family today, I am Bai Duoduo, and I will ask all the directors and presidents to take care of the Bai family in the future......" Bai Duoduo looked at everyone in the audience with a gentle smile on his face.
The voice is gentle with a hint of uniqueness, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
After Bai Duoduo finished speaking, he walked off the podium with elegant steps and walked straight to Shang Haowen.
Emotions churning in my heart...... Finally met him......
Yun Xiaoli was about to pick up a glass of champagne, but the afterglow swept to Bai Duoduo coming this way.
looked at Shang Haowen puzzled, it was quiet here, there were only the two of them, was she coming for him?
She stood in front of the two of them, and the answer was unquestionable.
Glancing at Shang Haowen and seeing that he didn't say a word, Yun Xiaoli had no choice but to greet politely: "Hello, Ms. Bai." β
In his heart, he wondered, how did he feel that something was wrong with him today?
"Hello, Miss Yun, first meeting." Bai Duoduo smiled softly and looked at her with a soft gaze.
"It's the first time we met, and I hope there will be opportunities to work together in the future." Yun Xiaoli said indifferently.
"Haowen, long time no see, won't you say hello to me?" Bai Duoduo looked at him with a smile and said politely and detachedly.
He doesn't seem to have changed much from before, and he has a beautiful wife by his side......
"Long time no see." Shang Haowen replied with a cold face, obviously unwilling to talk to her.
Hearing her name, Yun Xiaoli's heart jumped suddenly, Haowen? She would call him so affectionately......
glanced at him suspiciously, and saw that his face had not changed, and the doubts in her heart were quietly put down, maybe she was thinking too much.
Seeing this, Bai Duoduo smiled helplessly, and looked at Yun Xiaoli with gentle eyes: "I know you are Haowen's fiancΓ©e, but I didn't expect that after many years of not seeing him, he has married such a beautiful lady, it's a pity...... I didn't catch up with your wedding feast. β
At that time, she actually wanted to come back, but it was a pity......
"Thanks for the compliment." Yun Xiaoli smiled, and then asked suspiciously: "You and Haowen are ......?"
He hadn't talked to her in detail about their relationship before.
"I am friends with him, but I have been in poor health before, and I have been treated abroad, and I haven't seen him for a long time." Bai Duoduo introduced himself with a smile.
Yu Guang saw the indifference in Shang Haowen's eyes, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart......
"So you're friends." A trace of surprise flashed in Yun Xiaoli's eyes, he never told himself about it.
Shang Haowen's eyes were cold, and he was about to say something, but Bai Duoduo's assistant hurried over.
"Mr. Bai, the old lady's phone."
Hearing this, Bai Duoduo's face turned pale, and he said to the two of them with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have some things, I lost my company first." β
"Just go and get busy." Yun Xiaoli happily responded, and the first impression of her in his heart was not bad.
Polite and generous, the character looks good, it's just ......
Yun Xiaoli looked at Shang Haowen faintly, I don't know why, when he faced Bai Duoduo, his demeanor was a little wrong, it was the first time he saw Shang Haowen show such an expression......
After Bai Duoduo left, Shang Haowen's face was slightly better-looking.
"Haowen, are you uncomfortable somewhere?" Yun Xiaoli pulled Shang Haowen to sit down on the sofa, raised his eyebrows and asked.
Coming back to his senses, Shang Haowen shook his head: "No, I'm fine." β
"But your face was ugly just now." Yun Xiaoli squinted his eyes and asked, a little suspicious of the relationship between them in his heart......
"Don't think about it." Shang Haowen gently pinched her fingertips, he didn't want her to know about the previous things.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Yun Xiaoli had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and stop asking.
Since he didn't want to say it, she didn't want to force him to ask him, anyway, he would always tell himself.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half of the time for the banquet has passed, and it is time for the ball.
Yun Xiaoli was too lazy to dance, and Shang Haowen stayed in the rest area all the time.
Just swallowed a crystal grape, and with a sweep of the afterglow, a trace of surprise flashed in Yun Xiaoli's eyes: "Haowen, isn't that Heranran?" β
"It's her, what's wrong?" Shang Haowen glanced at him coldly, his expression was indifferent, He Ranran had nothing to do with him.
"I didn't expect her to bring a male companion to the banquet." Yun Xiaoli was slightly surprised, could she finally figure it out? Don't pester Shang Haowen anymore?
If it's true, that's a good thing for them too.
Looking at the man beside her, Yun Xiaoli looked up and down, as if she was a little star who had been in the limelight recently.
"It has nothing to do with us, it doesn't matter what she does." Shang Haowen said with a cold face.
"I just think it's interesting, she specially brought her male companion to the banquet this time, she must have wanted to save her face, but it's a pity that ......" Yun Xiaoli covered her lips and smiled, her face had already been lost.
Seeing her gloating, a trace of helplessness flashed in Shang Haowen's eyes, but no matter which side she was, he liked it very much.
"There is little business." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded not far away.
Shang Haowen and Yun Xiaoli couldn't help but turn their eyes to look, and saw Hepburn's rugged figure walking towards the two of them.
"I didn't expect to meet you at the Bai Clan's banquet, I haven't seen you for a while." Hepburn had a hearty smile on his face, and he couldn't see a trace of gloom at all.
"Hmm." Shang Haowen responded coldly, not wanting to deal with him at all.
He Ranran followed behind Hepburn, holding his male partner beside him with a cold expression, coldly not leaving Shang Haowen a look, and deliberately intimate with his male partner.
Sooner or later, he will surrender in front of him! I can no longer show that lofty posture.
Seeing this, Yun Xiaoli couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling quite funny in his heart.
Did she really think that this would make Shang Haowen feel uncomfortable? It's ridiculous.
