Chapter 25 Group Banquets
"The old mayor? It's not that the old mayor's grandfather was not simple back then, and he was invited by the Quansheng Group? β
A black sedan slowly drove to the door, and the reporters turned their attention and stared intently, for fear of revealing any newsworthy shots.
Located in the hotel nearly a kilometer away from the luxury of the old mansion at this time like a lady as warm and silent, the servants stand at the door, the guests welcome the guests into the door, wait for a servant to leave, immediately another servant to make up, unless the guest himself asks not to be received, otherwise there is a servant behind each guest to serve at all times.
No guest dares to say that they don't want to be a servant, the first is to give face to the host, and the second is that this luxurious old mansion that was used by the emperor as a summer resort in history is a tangible cultural heritage that real money can't buy.
The guests followed the servants to enjoy the deliberately preserved scenery in the park, just a tree has a history of hundreds of years, not to mention the various antiques specially purchased by the host's family, which is simply an alternative luxury.
In the same bejeweled hall, although there were dozens of people, everyone was talking calmly and steadily, and dozens of people did not seem noisy in the huge living room.
Du Meiyun was wearing an apricot dress, her upper body was tightly wrapped, she looked very rigorous, she didn't quite understand why her brother had to dress like Obasang at first, but now she understands a little, there are very few women who can enter here, and they are all dressed very decently, she is the youngest girl in it.
"Brother, I didn't expect Mr. Xia to hold two anniversary banquets this time." She whispered as she pretended to be nonchalant, smiling at the occasional striking glance at her.
Du Yang held a cocktail in his hand and responded: "If you want to really know people, you have to come to this small one, the people here, even if they are young people, may turn the clouds and rain in the future and make a career in their own industry, in other words, here are the people that Mr. Xia fancies." β
"Even though I said that, my brother didn't talk to us, so I was dressed too conservatively." Du Meiyun is still a little frustrated, thanks to the fact that she went to get three injections of hyaluronic acid yesterday, although the people here are older, but there are not no young people.
Du Yang's eyes moved, and immediately a servant quietly stepped forward to take away the cup, and only after waiting for someone to leave did he say: "Mr. Xia has always felt that acting is a play, if it is a play and the clothes are revealing, you probably won't be able to enter at all." β
Du Meiyun muttered in her heart, she was stubborn, and suddenly said: "Then say so, his own granddaughter is also a dramatist." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she was glared at by Du Yang, she felt aggrieved in her heart, thinking that she was just saying something, why is it so fierce, is it possible that it is not okay to talk about Xia Chunai now, will my brother really have a pure love with Na XiaΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Du Yang looked around cautiously, his old sister was spoiled, and she couldn't talk with her brains.
"Hello."
The man with thin-rimmed glasses held up a red wine glass and motioned to the two, "Hello, my name is Huo Jin." There are very few young people here, and I just came back from Los Angeles, so I don't know anyone, so I took the liberty to bother, hoping it didn't make you feel uncomfortable. β
Du Meiyun has been looking at each other for a long time, his clothes, shoes and even watches are very tasteful, his height should be more than 1.8 meters, and he looks about 30 years old.
"Hello, Du Meiyun, this is my brother Du Yang." Du Meiyun generously shook hands with the other party.
Du Yang showed a lack of interest, the people who can stand here are either rich or expensive, he has never seen this Huo Jin, and he doesn't know what the origin is, but he can be in this circle.
However, he is very self-aware, there are too many powerful people here tonight, and the two brothers and sisters are not qualified at first glance, and it is normal to be ignored, this Huo Jin either has no eyesight, or he is in the same situation as them, and he is ignored.
Over there, Du Meiyun had already chatted with Huo Jin, "Really? You're the president of the Bank of Los Angeles, and you're so young. β
"I still prefer the domestic environment, Miss Du is so beautiful, she looks like a star?"
Du Meiyun is still a little worried, she can't admit it, she will be embarrassed to admit it when the other party checks it. seemed to be aware of her embarrassment, and Huo Jin naturally changed the topic.
Du Yang smiled, a man can sense the embarrassment and change the topic to continue talking, which proves that he is interested in that woman, it seems that he should not be a light bulb.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the three of them looked at the source of the sound, and it was Mr. Xia who appeared.
The old man who is nearly 60 years old is full of energy, his back is straight, the servant handed him a glass of red wine, he took it and began to talk, many of them intentionally or unintentionally brought out a few old friends from officialdom or shopping malls, and the people who can stay here are all powerful people, but they have also given enough face. The scene is a lot of fun.
Huo Jin noticed that Du Meiyun's expression beside him was very unnatural, his eyes kept wandering, and he asked with concern, but when he saw that the other party was covering up, he didn't say anything more.
Du Meiyun saw that a bodyguard standing in the corner of the room was the man who forcibly took her into the car and threatened her that day, and the fear of that day came to her heart.
After Yuan Zhentian's words fell, everyone also appropriately expressed their congratulations, and at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a red figure slowly walked over.
Everyone knows that Mr. Xia, in addition to being able to tolerate his dead baby daughter dressing brightly, hates others to wear particularly bright colors at other times, who is this, dare to wear it like this?
Looking at it again, someone recognized it, and their eyes were all with a hint of surprise, this is not Xia Lao's granddaughter?
There are already people secretly talking at the bottom, and the topic is of course around this sudden appearance of the eldest lady.
"Isn't it made public not long ago, his granddaughter signed a contract with an entertainment company, and it was only then that it was revealed that she was the eldest lady."
"I also read that news, and I thought it was fake news at the time, didn't Xia Lao hate celebrities the most, actors and actresses?"
"Is that a granddaughter the same? I see that the rumors that Xia Lao and his granddaughter are not compatible is fake news, if she really doesn't agree, she can be a star, and if she really doesn't agree, she can wear Ms. Xia Pearl's favorite color when she was alive, but who is the man next to her?"
"I don't know."
Xia Chunai held Loutang's arm and walked slowly forward under the gaze of everyone, sensing that her gaze was extremely hot, she tilted her head slightly, and saw Du Yang, who was obviously angry.
The heart moved, and the guilt welled up in his heart, and Lou Tang also noticed it, and deliberately walked fast to block the sight of the two.
Xia Youguo's gaze was only fixed when Xia Chunai pushed the door in, and then quickly reacted, and his eyes returned to their previous sharpness.
"Grandpa, my granddaughter is late, I wish Quansheng Group a year and a year."
Everyone held their breath, watching how Mr. Xia responded, the sensational celebrity murder case that year, it was Mr. Xia's baby daughter who died.
Since then, there have been rumors that Yuan Zhentian threw his granddaughter abroad to fend for herself, and he has not let anyone return to China for more than ten years, let alone appear in the same frame in the public.
"Yes."
Although Xia Youguo's statement was only one word, it still made the minds of those present open. If it is really not in harmony with the surface of the rumors, then it is not a "grace" word, it is estimated that it will be scolded, this "grace" word can be understood into a lot of meanings.
Xia Youguo said a few words without pain and walked to the second floor with some old friends in the officialdom, and the scene returned to the previous atmosphere.
"It's okay." Lou Tang lowered his voice.
Xia Chunai nodded, "It's good, thank you." β
Today is a risky move, grandpa is a person who wants to save face, if she quietly mixes in the crowd, she will definitely be discovered by her grandfather, and maybe she will be blamed for not being polite.
Everyone here is in a circle, and there will definitely be people who recognize her, so instead of being forced to accept questioning glances at that time, it is better to show her identity at the beginning.
Mother was originally arrogant and domineering, and she was favored by her grandfather, so she also deliberately ordered a skirt of the same style that her mother wore before, betting that her grandfather remembered her mother and remembered the old love, and it seemed that she had succeeded.
Not far away, Du Meiyun bit her lower lip, looked at Xia Chunai, who was surrounded by everyone, and slandered in her heart, saying that everything was either rich or expensive, and when she saw the eldest lady, she rushed up and knelt down to lick it.
But what I didn't expect, Mr. Lou actually had such a close relationship with her, oh my God, I won't give her small shoes in the future, when she thought of this, she was worried, and quickly pulled her brother to a hidden corner, "Brother, how can that Xia Chunai be with Mr. Lou, what should I do?"
"Cold salad." Du Yang ripped off his sister's head and looked fixedly at a touch of red in the distance. Didn't you say no? It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't come, he just didn't want to come with him.
Hehe, it turns out that being hated and betrayed is this feeling.
Du Meiyun was snubbed by her brother, so she turned her eyes to look at Huo Jin, and saw that the other party was also staring at Xia Chunai in the crowd.
However, Huo Jin quickly looked away, and his attention returned to Du Meiyun.
Although Du Meiyun was unhappy in her heart, she was not stupid enough to really say such a thing, and complained in her heart that she was really dressed too plainly today, and she had no personality charm at all.
Xia Chunai saw that the time was almost up, so he went to the bathroom under the pretext of going to the bathroom, but actually ran upstairs secretly.
She was all too familiar with this house, and when she was a child, the maid often played hide and seek with her grandfather when he was away.
When she was a child, her room was on the third floor, and when she saw the familiar little pink door, she was a little excited, and when she pushed the door open, her excited heart cooled down.
She remembers the structure of the house, where to put the princess's bed, where to put the dolls, and the two-meter-long train tracks.
The original room is now empty, with only four walls and dust floating in the air, because it has not been popular for many years, and the air smells of mold.
Sensing the footsteps, she hurriedly dodged into the room, but the tears could not be stopped.
Did Grandpa really hate her that much? I hate it so much that I have to erase the memories of my childhood, but what's wrong with her? My grandfather lost his daughter, and she lost her parents!
In the haze of tears, a small door in the room made in the shape of a cartoon dragon caught her attention, and in her memory, the room behind the small dragon gate was dedicated to gifts.
Gift? Yes, it seems that the gift given by my mother back then was also put in.
No one has opened the door for more than ten years, and when she twisted it open, the dust was flying all over the sky, she hurriedly covered her nose, and Dingqing saw that the previous gifts were there!
Dozens of square meters of room are all unopened gifts, she remembers that there were too many gifts before, and then lost the interest in opening gifts, once someone gave something, the maid saw that she did not open it, so she took it here and put it, I didn't expect that there were so many, and there had to be hundreds of pieces.
The gifts had been piled up for more than ten years without anyone moving, and the wrapping paper was all covered with dust, she grabbed one at random, opened it, and inside was a Cartier necklace.
Putting the necklace aside, she began to put the gifts aside one by one, intent on finding the gifts her mother had given her. At that time, my father said that the gift made her stand at the top of her life all of a sudden, and this kind of words must have meaning.
After a while, she was already surrounded by gifts, but she finally found the box printed on the photo!
