Chapter 4: Female Companions

At half past nine in the morning, Xiang Huan went to his store with dark circles under his eyes.

She walked around the store twice, and it didn't look good everywhere, so she and the store manager studied adjusting the placement of the furniture.

She personally participated and worked all day until the closing time in the evening.

Pan Ning had two phone calls and countless WeChat messages, reminding her to hurry up and get ready for tonight's banquet, which was a very critical moment.

Xiang Huan didn't tell her mother what Cheng Ye said to her when she left yesterday.

She used the shortest time to make the right makeup and hair, and tonight she picked a milky white dress that highlighted the advantages of her figure.

The welcome banquet for the family is set up in a Chinese-style courtyard on the outskirts of their home.

Xiang Huan's mother and daughter arrived twenty minutes early, and not long after entering, Pan Ning took the initiative to greet the people she wanted to befriend, leaving Xiang Huan alone.

Xiang Huan hadn't seen tonight's protagonist appear, so he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to take a look, but he didn't receive any new news from Cheng Ye.

Their WeChat chat record is still stuck at noon today.

Cheng Ye sent her a photo of himself wearing a suit, without any text description, Xiang Huan guessed that it should be what he was going to wear tonight.

Xiang Huan's dress was carefully selected with reference to the photo.

She took a glass of juice and stood in the corner to drink it, wondering who it would be to be his female companion.

The answer to this question was quick.

Narino accompanied his bigwig father out of the house, and the surrounding guests stopped talking and looked at each other.

A young girl in a cream-white suit, one step back, follows Narino's side.

Penning also returned to her daughter and asked her in a low voice what was going on.

Xiang Huan shook his head and couldn't answer, his eyes looked at the girl carefully, it was a strange face.

Not far away, a guest was gossiping in a low voice, saying why he didn't see the hostess of the family.

Before the topic began, I heard Cheng explain to everyone, saying that his wife had a severe cold and was sick, and it was a pity that he could not be at the scene tonight.

Xiang Huan noticed that when Cheng Boss said this, Cheng Ye beside him made a small gesture of raising his eyebrows.

After Cheng Tianyu officially introduced the son he found back to everyone, everyone began to use their own social means.

The applause that should be cheered, the sycophant that should be patted on the back.

Cheng Ye had an expression of indifference, and his eyes quickly locked on Xiang Huan.

Xiang Huan didn't look back, her attention was still on the girl with the raw face.

The girl doesn't look very old, her makeup is delicate but not gaudy, and her temperament is not the type that is particularly eye-catching.

"You should be reserved tonight, don't be too proactive, I'll go and find out." Pan Ning approached her daughter and finished instructing, and the person walked towards Cheng Da Lao's side.

Xiang Huan was very obedient and continued to drink juice without moving.

On this occasion today, as someone who has just removed the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, it is difficult for Xiang Huan not to attract the attention of others.

Within a few minutes, the gossip crowd came to the door.

is an acquaintance who has been a neighbor of the Xu family for ten years, and a female partner of the largest law firm in Lincheng, Qu Xiaohua.

Xiang Huan didn't live with his elders after marrying into the Xu family, but he went home a lot during the New Year's holidays, and he was half-baked with this barrister.

After the Xu family's accident, the villa where the elders lived was seized and auctioned, and they almost had no chance to meet.

As soon as Qu Xiaohua came over, he gave Xiang Huan a very interesting news.

She knew the girl next to Cheng Ye, named Yu Na.

The second generation, who has just returned from studying abroad, has a wide range of family businesses and has business dealings with the family.

Xiang Huan concealed his true emotions and complimented the barrister that he was really well-informed.

"I heard that you and Xu Jiandong have left?" Qu Xiaohua changed the topic.

This kind of news is meaningless and can't be hidden, Xiang Huan admitted it calmly.

Qu Xiaohua sighed a little, "You two are actually quite a good match, it's a pity, I hope you won't become enemies in the future." ”

Xiang Huan was puzzled and asked why he could say that.

Lawyer Qu sold the guanzi, smiled and pulled Xiang Huan to greet tonight's protagonist.

Xiang Huan is not easy to refuse.

On the way over, the old mother Pan Ning came over and laughed with Qu Xiaohua all the way, and threw a seemingly casual sentence to her daughter in the middle.

She asked Xiang Huan to hurry to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, feeling that her eye makeup was a little spent.

Xiang Huan listened to his mother's words and noticed that Cheng Ye had disappeared at some point.

She asked for the location of the restroom open to guests, and walked alone into the first floor of the family mansion.

The Chinese-style interior decoration creates a sense of mystery with winding paths, and Xiang Huan admires and finds a place all the way.

It's quiet and there are no other guests.

Xiang Huan walked in, exhaled lightly in the mirror, gave up expression management in an instant, and drooped his eyebrows in a daze.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and her eye makeup hadn't been spent at all.

The phone rang at this time, and a WeChat message came in.

It was sent by Narino, [Come to the innermost room on the right side of the second floor, let you experience the mattress I sleep on.] 】

Xiang Huan pinched his eyebrows and did not reply to the message.

After a while, she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, and there was a person standing outside the door.

It's Narino who has changed into casual clothes.
