Chapter 230: Friend's Blessing
Engagement reception?
This time, not only Shi Yue, but everyone present was extremely surprised, didn't the young master of the Zhou family have a soft spot for Mrs. Qiu? Why did this news pop up all of a sudden?
Mrs. Zhou smiled at Shi Yue with gratitude: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if it weren't for your good friend who advised Zhou Mian to go to the United States for surgery, he wouldn't be where he is today." β
Although Mrs. Zhou's voice is not loud, she can make everyone around her hear it clearly, which is to explain that Shi Yue and Zhou Mian are innocent.
If she just came to attend Zhou Mian's engagement banquet today, Shi Yue would be very happy, but he was Cole's boss, and her mood was always heavy.
Many people around looked at it, and Shi Yue smiled: "I just don't know, who is Zhou Mian's fiancΓ©e?" β
As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
Qiu Xishen couldn't help but get nervous, and quickly pulled Shi Yue into his arms, preventing Shen Zexi from taking advantage of it.
The voices of everyone's confusion were small and noisy, but after a few seconds, a beam of light suddenly fell on the platform in front of them.
Under the spotlight, I saw Zhou Mian appear on the stage in a tuxedo, a little less sick than before, under the gold wire glasses, his light-colored pupils, smiling slightly, and full of spirit.
And what attracts more attention than him is the woman next to him, because of the engagement, wearing a light pink dress, the woman's long crow-like hair hangs down her waist, delicate makeup and red lips are charming and moving, but beside the man, she is a little more shy and cute. Most of the people present recognized it, isn't this the recently popular star Sun Ran?
The two stood hand in hand on the stage, Zhou Mian's eyes glanced at the crowd, and soon saw Shi Yue, who smiled warmly at her across the crowd.
"Thank you for coming to my engagement banquet with Sun Ran, and I hope you can be a witness and get your blessings. In addition, as Cole's boss, he is new to business, and he also hopes to be able to give more help and promotion on the spot. β
The guests who came were very willing to give the Zhou family a face, but when they thought that Qiu Sanye was also present, if they were good friends with the Zhou family, wouldn't they have to go against him?
There was silence for a while, and they realized that today was actually for them to make their attitudes clear, and no one spoke in a dilemma.
Seeing this, Zhou Mian just chuckled: "I changed from a lawyer to an investor, which may indeed make everyone feel uneasy, whether I can do a good job, but it doesn't matter, time will prove everything for everyone to see." β
He took Sun Ran's hand and walked down from the stage, and the lights in the banquet hall returned to normal.
Some timid and afraid people have taken the opportunity to leave the party, and some people are willing to stay, but they are looking for an opportunity to talk to Qiu Xishen in order to find a strong backer for themselves.
Shi Yue stood beside Qiu Xishen, and the company boss she found was talking to Qiu Xishen, she didn't listen to a word, her eyes were separated by the crowd, and Zhou Mian, who was talking to Shen Zexi in the distance, intersected.
But Zhou Mian was the same as before, just smiled gently, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Shi Yue's throat seemed to be stuck by something, and he couldn't speak.
Qiu Xishen was keenly aware of the abnormality of her emotions, and whispered in her ear: "If you feel uncomfortable, let's go back first?" β
Shi Yue took a sip of the warm water he handed over, shook his head and said, "The Zhou family and Shen Zexi carefully arranged a good show, how can they leave like this." β
After speaking, she immediately restrained her emotions, raised a faint smile on her face, and walked towards Zhou Mian's side.
The momentum on her body was somewhat affected by herself, which made Qiu Xishen laugh instead, such a vivid Shi Yue, I haven't seen it for a long time, and he also followed quickly with a wine glass.
Sun Ranyan, who was originally beside Zhou Mian, smiled at Yan Yan and laughed with the people who came to congratulate her, but when she saw Shi Yue coming calmly, she felt weak for some reason, but she remembered that she was Zhou Mian's fiancΓ©e, straightened her back again, and held Zhou Mian's arm tightly, wanting to give herself some courage.
Shi Yue saw the emotions on her face clearly, hooked her lips and smiled, and she said directly to Zhou Mian: "You two are hiding too deeply, you have to wait until you come to say that it is your engagement banquet, otherwise I will definitely prepare a big gift for you." β
At this moment, Shi Yue was in front of him, but Zhou Mian didn't seem to be as calm as he was on the stage just now, his eyes fell on Shi Yue, and it was difficult to take it back: "It was originally decided by us, and it was also a whim, and there was no need for any gifts." β
But Shi Yue disagreed: "This engagement and marriage are a major event in a woman's life, you don't care, but Sun Ran can't, I'll make up the gift another day." β
Just when Zhou Mian wanted to refuse, Sun Ran spoke first: "Sister Shi Yue can sincerely bless us, I am already very happy." β
Looking at Sun Ran, who was gradually becoming hypocritical in front of him, Shi Yue smiled and said: "You just told me not long ago that you like Zhou Mian, but I didn't expect to get what you want so quickly, I just hope that everything is in accordance with your heart." Sun Ran, I haven't known you for a long time, but I have always regarded you as a true friend, and I hope you will not regret your decision today. β
The words were said to Sun Ran, but Shi Yue's eyes were biased towards Zhou Mian.
The smile on Zhou Mian's face disappeared instantly, and he put his hand on Sun Ran's shoulder, gradually exerting force, as if he was desperately suppressing something: "Meeting Sun Ran is the happiest thing I have now, and we will not regret it." β
Qiu Xishen also gently took Shi Yue in his arms at this moment, and looked at Zhou Mian with cold eyes: "As Shi Yue's friend, you can be happy, of course she is the happiest, Zhou Mian, or Cole's boss?" Bless you. β
Among the four of them, several people have different thoughts.
Shen Zexi was talking to Zhou Baisong, his eyes were full of sarcasm, but he sighed: "Young people, who won't be impulsive, they are really good at this age, brave and strategic, who doesn't envy them." β
For him, Zhou Baisong didn't have a good tone: "Shen Zexi, sometimes it's better not to be too desperate, you force them like this, have you thought about the consequences?" β
Shen Zexi smiled coldly: "The consequences? You already knew that Qiu Xishen was going to trouble me a few years ago, but he didn't want to let me go at all, what can I do, I'm just protecting myself. β
Zhou Baisong knew very well in his heart that no one in Kyoto knew about Shi Yue's disappearance, and in order to find out the reason why Zhou Mian left the United States and went to the southwest without permission at that time, there was no evidence for many things, but he could speculate about the initiator.
This is also the reason why he rejected Shen Zexi in the first place, but Zhou Mian ......
I don't know what the weather is like outside, Shi Yue smelled the rich aroma of wine in the whole hall, and suddenly felt nauseous, she went to the bathroom.
When I came out to wash my hands, when I looked up, I saw Zhou Mian's figure in the mirror, he was standing behind him, leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.
