Xiacheng is an emerging commercial city in the south in recent years. Its economy has developed rapidly, and its soft power and urban infrastructure have been vigorously developed. It was rated as the last most dynamic city this year.
All the well-known entrepreneurs from across the country came to the economic forum held in Xiacheng this time.
At this business cocktail party in the evening, those who can come in with invitations are the real elites, and anyone who can drag them along is a big shot.
Brother and sister Xin Ai and Xu Lanqiao stepped into the banquet hall and saw the faces that had appeared on TV. They only thought of one word in their minds - money!
Together, these people can be said to be the economic lifeline of almost half of the country.
As soon as Xu Lanshan entered, someone immediately came over to greet him.
Xu Lanqiao asked Xin Ai in a low voice: "I didn't see the third master, is it because he hasn't arrived yet?"
Xin Ai looked around and did not see Jian Zechuan's figure. "Maybe he hasn't come yet, or maybe... he doesn't plan to come today."
She felt a little disappointed.
Xu Lanshan came over and said: "Miss Xin, I will take Lanqiao there..."
Xin Ai nodded, knowing that Xu Lanshan was taking Xu Lanqiao on a blind date, and of course she, an outsider, could no longer follow.
Xin Ai picked up a glass of champagne and found an empty seat, feeling a little irritated. If Jian Zechuan didn't come, what was the point of her coming here
As soon as it darkened above the head, a male voice sounded: "Miss, can you sit down?"
Xin Ai rolled her eyes at him and wanted to strike up a conversation again.
of.
She was about to refuse, but she saw Jian Zechuan coming in at the entrance. Her eyes lit up and she was about to get up, but she saw a young and beautiful woman following him.
The woman looked to be in her twenties, she was wearing a neat black dress, her hair was pulled up, and she looked capable and elegant.
Although the woman did not hold Jian Zechuan's arm, the two came in while talking and were very close. Jian Zechuan even had a soft smile on his face, very relaxed and casual.
Jian Zechuan had never smiled at Xin Ai like that.
Xin Ai's eyes turned cold, wondering why she had to come. It turned out that someone was already there, and she just ran over stupidly. Isn't this humiliating herself
Xin Ai suppressed the strangeness in her heart and forced herself not to look.
She sat down again and took several deep breaths in succession. The feeling of being stuck in her throat finally subsided.
Seeing that the feet of the person he had just chatted with were still standing there, Xin Ai said, "Sit down."
Xin Ai kept saying in her heart: Xin Ai, you are just an object, just a toy. Do you still expect others to pay attention to a toy
It doesn't matter, her purpose of approaching her is never simple anyway, so don't expect others to take her seriously.
It was just a transaction, it didn't matter.
The person next to him sat down, and Xin Ai was not in the mood to see what the other person looked like. He only heard him ask: "
Are you alone? "
Xin Ai shook the wine glass, thought for a moment and said, "I... came with my uncle."
At this cocktail party, she only knew the Xu family brothers and sisters, but they had no time to talk to her now.
She said here that she came with someone, so she might be able to block some things.
"Oh, your uncle is..."
"Here." Xin Ai raised his chin and pointed in the direction of Nu Jian Zechuan.
The people around him laughed: "The third master of the Jian family, it's really strange. When did he have such a beautiful niece?"
Xin Ai saw Jian Zechuan and the woman surrounded by a group of people. As they drank and drank, they seemed to be a pair of male and female friends. They lowered their heads and chatted, looking very harmonious.
Xin Ai raised his head and took a sip of champagne: "Just because you don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
After a while, the people around him seemed to be unable to help laughing, "Ms. Xin is such an interesting person."
Xin Ai was stunned, then immediately turned his head and looked at the person sitting next to him defensively: "Who are you?"
The man was in his early 30s, with a handsome appearance, extraordinary appearance, bright eyes, and an indescribable temperament about him, which was the experience and connotation accumulated over the years. Such a man is very popular with girls, and... very dangerous.
He said: "My surname is Lu..."
"land?"
"Yes, I am from the same family as the person you are thinking of. Please introduce yourself."
Lu Xun
Stretching out his hand: "Hello, Miss Xin, I am Lu Xun, Lu Jincheng's cousin. I have heard your name for a long time. I only knew it when I saw you today. No wonder my cousin is obsessed with you."
Xin Ai looked at the other person carefully and found that he and Lu Jincheng were indeed somewhat similar, except that his facial features were not as refined as Lu Jincheng's, but he had a temperament that Lu Jincheng did not have.
After Xin Ai hesitated, he stretched out his hand: "...Hello..."
Lu Xun moved closer to Xin Ai and said, "Would you like to dance with me to make Jian Zechuan angry?"
Xin Ai instinctively refused: "Thank you, no need, I'm not that kind of narrow-minded woman."
Xin Ai didn't know Lu Xun, and she even had some doubts about his authenticity.
What's more, a man like this, at best, means he has experience, but at worst, he has too much experience. When you get along with this kind of person, you have to be careful about everything, otherwise, you are just waiting to be betrayed.
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, "If you see Jian Zechuan with another woman, don't you be angry? Don't you want him to have a taste of what you are like now."
"In no mood."
She is not someone's serious girlfriend, how can she feel like that
A little lover just needs to stay in the corner. He does a lot and makes a lot of mistakes.
Lu Xun looked regretful: "I really want her so much, so why endure it? I happen to know the woman standing next to Jian Zechuan..."
Xin Ai glanced at Lu Xun and waited for him to continue.
Lu Xun said slowly: "My ex-girlfriend."
"Cough... cough..." Xin Ai just took a sip of champagne and choked on these words.
Lu Xun ruthlessly patted Xin Ai on the back, "Really?"
"Really." Xin Ai couldn't believe it. It was such a coincidence
"Yeah, it's such a coincidence. Don't they all say that the best way to get revenge on your ex is to let her know that you are doing well, even better than when you were with her. Why don't we try it?"
Xin Ai chuckled: "But Jian Zechuan is not my ex yet."
Lu Xun smiled a little bit and said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't work hard, he will soon become your ex."
Although these words were unreasonable, they really increased the pressure on Xin Ai. She raised her head and looked at Jian Zechuan. He and the woman were still standing together, chatting and laughing, so unhappy.
Jian Zechuan is a man of few words and very cold.
When Xin Ai was with him, most of the time he spoke in single digits.
He never talks to her all the time. Most of the time, she talks and he listens, and occasionally taunts her.
Rarely do I listen carefully and respond as gently as I do now.
Xin Ai's hands slowly clenched, and the feeling of a stuck thorn that had finally been suppressed came up again.
Jealousy, Xin Ai had to admit that her mood was probably jealousy.
