Chapter 20: What to drink when you are not feeling well
In fact, a week before Ji Ci went abroad, his grandfather sent someone to find Cheng Ningyue.
Without saying a word, the other party gave her a check for three million, as well as a very brief letter from Old Man Ji to her.
The content of the letter is very simple, it is nothing more than saying that she and Ji Ci are people of two worlds, and if she gets acquainted, she will take the money and leave Ji Ci, don't delay him.
Cheng Ningyue only knew Ji Ci's true identity after that time.
Afterward......
The inside of her arm was suddenly pinched, Cheng Ningyue hissed, and suddenly woke up from her memories.
Ye Xingzhi held the mobile phone in his other hand and stared at her with a smile, "What do you think, showing such a sad expression." ”
“……”
Cheng Ningyue raised the car window, and somehow, she quickly replied for a while: "I miss you." ”
Then I saw Ye Xingzhi stunned, and the expression on his face was a little ...... It was indescribable, and he couldn't speak after pursing his thin lips several times.
Cheng Ningyue looked at him like this, and suddenly felt in a good mood, and there was a feeling of being small, raising her eyebrows.
Neither of them spoke again.
At 6:55, the black Bentley finally arrived at the villa where the Ji family held a dinner.
From the car, there are more than a dozen rows of luxury cars in the parking lot at the entrance of the villa, densely packed, as if they are holding a luxury car exhibition.
Ye Xingzhi brought his wife over, and the housekeeper of the Ji family came out to greet him in person, and politely called Ye Shao and Mrs. Ye Shao and invited people in.
The manor house is over 100 years old and has been renovated several times and still retains some of its style from the Republican period.
Cheng Ningyue put her hand in the crook of the man's arm and lowered her eyes slightly.
The surrounding ladies and daughters all looked at each other.
The Ji family's banquet this time was very grand, and almost all the people in Loucheng were invited.
Among the wives and ladies around, most of them knew Cheng Ningyue.
In those eyes that came over, there was envy and jealousy, as well as disdain and contempt, Cheng Ningyue was neither humble nor arrogant, and accepted it calmly.
The butler led the way in front and made the way into the hall.
Cheng Ningyue saw Ji Ci standing beside the gray-haired Old Man Ji at first sight, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Ji Ci was dressed in a black suit, and he was more than one meter tall and eight meters tall, standing among a group of old men, and he felt like he stood out from the crowd.
He doesn't look the same as before, but his facial features are more three-dimensional, and his body is more mature and stable.
That person was still the same as she remembered, handsome, warm and warm.
seemed to feel something, Ji Ci also looked over, his eyes passed through the sea of people, and met Cheng Ningyue's eyes.
And her hand hanging in the crook of Ye Xingzhi's arm.
The housekeeper had already said loudly over there: "Master, the young master and young lady of the Ye family have arrived. ”
Ye Xingzhi's grandfather had some friendship with Old Man Ji when he was young, and the two families moved around a lot, but later Old Man Ye died, and the movement of the two families slowly decreased.
Old Man Ji was wearing a brand-new Tang costume, and hurriedly said to Ji Ci beside him: "I remember that you had a good relationship with Xing when you were a child, and the two little boys often played ball together. ”
Ji Ci's face was a little delicate, his eyes moved away from Cheng Ningyue's body, and he greeted Ye Xingzhi lightly.
"Introduction, this is my wife, this one ---" Ye Xingzhi grabbed Cheng Ningyue's hand and introduced Ji Ci to her, "It's me who is small, Ji Ci." ”
Cheng Ningyue pursed her lips slightly, "Young Master Ji." ”
Ji Ci: "Mrs. Ye." ”
Old Man Ji didn't go to see Cheng Ningyue in person back then, and asked his secretary to take the money to send the people.
After all these years, I have long forgotten about it.
Ji Ci has just returned to China, and Ye Xingzhi has taken over Sino-Ocean Group for two or three years, and he is a well-known upstart in the business world, and his methods are not inferior to his father.
Old Man Ji has his own thoughts, and he wants Ji Ci to have more contact with Ye Xing.
Although Ye Xingzhi's private life is not very good, in terms of business, even Old Man Ji has to admire this young man.
Men, there's no harm in playing with other women outside.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Ji suddenly smiled and said, "You young people have your own ideas now, and I'm afraid we old men can't keep up with our thoughts." ”
Then beckoned a few old friends to go upstairs for tea, leaving the space for the young people.
Cheng Ningyue held a glass of champagne in her hand, dutifully acting as a knowledgeable wife standing by Ye Xingzhi's side.
In addition to Ye Xingzhi and Ji Ci, there were several rich second generations who came over in twos and threes.
These rich second generations are not just children who can eat, drink and have fun, some work in their own companies, and some come out to start their own businesses, they are all upstarts in the business world.
Cheng Ningyue could feel Ji Ci's gaze falling on her from time to time.
At first, she could calmly look back at the past occasionally, but gradually she felt a little weak, and every time Ji Ci looked at it, she began to feel uncomfortable.
A little thirsty, Cheng Ningyue subconsciously wanted to take a sip of the champagne in her hand.
"What to drink if you're not feeling well."
The champagne glass in his hand was taken away, and Ye Xingzhi's tone was intimate, "Are you tired, do you want to take a break?" ”
Cheng Ningyue was a little surprised by his gentleness, nodded, and Ye Xingzhi called a passing waiter to take his wife to the lounge in the villa to sit down.
On such occasions, the host will have a lounge ready for guests to rest anytime and anywhere.
Cheng Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes and followed the waiter.
"Ji Shao?"
Someone next to him quipped: "Mrs. Ye is really as dignified and feminine as rumored, look at our Ji Shao, her eyes are straight." ”
Ji Ci came back to his senses, frowned, didn't like this very much, and said, "I just think Mrs. Ye looks a little like an old man like me." ”
Ye Xingzhi took Cheng Ningyue's glass of champagne, took a sip, and changed the topic, "I heard that the Ji family intends to develop in online games?" ”
……
In the lounge on the second floor.
The waitress came in with juice and snacks intimately, and said, "If Mrs. Ye has any instructions, just dial the internal phone and say it, and someone will come over within five minutes." ”
Cheng Ningyue nodded and thanked the other party politely.
The high heels on the feet are eight-centimeter stiletto heels that match the skirt on the body, which is a bit abrasive.
After the waitress went out, Cheng Ningyue took off her shoes, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet, walked to the window and looked out.
The whole estate was beautifully decorated, and the wide lawn was covered with men and women, dressed in fragrant clothes and sideburns.
Cheng Ningyue saw Ye Xingzhi.
He was holding a wine glass and was surrounded by several young men to speak.
Somehow, Cheng Ningyue couldn't help but think in her heart, Ye Xingzhi's face must have been a very casual expression at this moment.
Although he sometimes speaks very annoying words out of his mouth, it is undeniable that in the shopping mall, his methods and achievements are convincing.
