The two stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.

Suddenly, Mu Mingcheng stopped and looked at her. The right arm was bent in an arc, and there was an elegant smile on the corner of his mouth, like a polite scholar.

Gu Jin lowered his head to avoid his eyes, a strand of hair fell from his forehead, and the shining earrings reflected the dazzling light. Under the illumination of the light, the gorgeous long skirt seemed to dye her fair face crimson, adding a bit of shyness unique to a daughter's family.

Following Mu Mingcheng's wishes, Gu Jin naturally put his left hand on his arm and followed his footsteps forward.

The men were handsome and the women were beautiful, and they all had the same smiles on their faces, showing off their affection so brightly that they blinded the titanium alloy eyes of a group of people.

In the hall at this time, the old and steady voice stopped, and the old man of the Jing family had just finished his speech. Most of the speeches at this kind of banquet are the same. They are nothing more than thanking everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the banquet, and it is a great honor.

This matter should be done by Jing's father, whose name is Jing Ruo. Mr. Jing can come in person if he wants, but this will increase the weight of this banquet.

Everyone listened boredly. Mr. Jing suddenly paused and said, "I have decided to transfer 5% of the shares of Jing's Jewelry to the name of my granddaughter Jing Ruo."

These words were like a thunderbolt, which not only made outsiders burnt on the outside but tender on the inside. Even the new generations of the Jing family looked at Mr. Jing in great surprise. It was obvious that they had no idea about this matter.

There was only one man whose expression remained unchanged and stood beside the old man calmly. I don’t know if I got the news a long time ago, or if I am not moved by the petty profit at all.

No matter what the Jing family thought, no one dared to stand up and question it. Although Mr. Jing has retreated to the second line, he has gone through decades of ups and downs to develop the Jing family to its current status. It is impossible to say that he does not have some means to suppress those who come after him.

Everyone has their own thoughts in mind. A moment ago, their attitude towards the adopted daughter of the Jing family was still in the ambiguous stage.

After all, Jing Ruo is not a blood relative of the Jing family. Compared with the real Jing family, he is still a step behind. When the family property is divided in the future, she won't get anything valuable.

As far as money is concerned, no one here is short of money.

But it's different now. With the Jing family's shares, even if it only accounts for a tiny bit of the Jing family's numerous properties, it also means that the Jing family values and recognizes Jing Ruo.

At least, after this day, the level and scope of Jing Ruo's marriage partners will expand several times.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause sounded, and Miss Jing Ruo, holding on to the handrail, meandered down the stairs.

She has a childish appearance, is as sweet and innocent as the girl next door, and is what most men think of a girl they fall in love with for the first time.

But she was wearing a long red dress that did not match her appearance, and she had mature yet lively makeup on her face. She was pure and charming, which attracted the attention of many men.

The cold-faced man next to Mr. Jing moved, and he stepped forward and took the girl's hand. A slight warmth actually appeared on Leng Su's face.

This is the first time that Gu Jin meets Jing Hao, the male protagonist of the original book.

As the male protagonist in the novel, his family background, appearance, body shape are all indispensable. When seeing Jing Hao, the words described in the novel such as knife-shaped noodles, iceberg face, handsomeness like a god... etc. can all be substituted for him.

With just one glance, she understood why it was him and not Shao Chong who embraced the beauty.

Because there is ambition in his eyes that he doesn't even bother to hide!

I remember it was written in the original work that the Jing family where the male protagonist Jing Hao belongs is a famous family in the imperial capital. The old man of the Jing family had funded the army many times during the founding of the People's Republic of China, which greatly improved the favorability of the big bosses. Therefore, in recent decades, the Jing family has been going smoothly in the business field, no one deliberately made things difficult, and the Jing family company is very famous throughout the country.

Jing Hao is twenty-seven years old this year. He has inherited the Jing family's business and developed it well.

Compared with many Mediterranean beer bellies, he is a young and promising man with first-rate appearance.

But he was not satisfied with his existing achievements, and worked hard throughout his lifetime to make the Jing family soar into the sky and enter its most prosperous period.

He is expressionless most of the time, like a work machine. He occasionally seeks out women to express his physiological needs, but he is never tempted by them. Until he met Little Sun Cheng Xin, only in front of her would he show his personality and reveal his fiery heart under the cold mask.

Gu Jin actually can't understand this kind of emotion, but isn't it often said in novels: People living in a complicated and cold world always yearn for simplicity and warmth.

The same goes for Cheng Xin Jinghao.

In the eyes of many young ladies from wealthy and aristocratic families in the imperial capital, Jing Hao has always been the marriage partner that they are vying for. Even though he is famous and has never lacked women around him, how many men in this circle can be trusted wholeheartedly

It is normal for the couple to play their own things. As long as the trouble is not brought to light, no one will take the initiative to lift the fig leaf.

The ladies are not fools either.

Since you are destined not to have a perfect marriage, you might as well find a man with courage, means and good looks!

Anyway, as long as they hold the money in their hands and keep their status as the main wife and the inheritance rights of their biological children, who cares whether the man's third leg is broken or not

Moreover, in the past six months, there has been no news in the imperial capital's tabloids about the eldest son of the Jing family being entangled with any celebrity. They thought optimistically, maybe they have had enough fun and have changed their ways

What they didn't know was that this man had indeed changed his ways and had already entered another woman's pocket, but he had not always made it public.

What Shao Chong lacks is Jing Hao's ambition and determination, and even less Jing Hao's calmness and indifference.

When he liked Cheng Xin, he showed his sincerity to her. But they don't know that the fragrance is far away and the smell is close. If it is too easy to get, it will not be cherished, and it will be abandoned by others.

Cheng Xin has a high vision and has been surrounded by stars since he was a child. He wants to be the best no matter what, so there is nothing wrong with choosing Jing Hao.

Gu Jin reminded himself that no matter what, it would be better not to offend someone like Jing Hao.

The cheerful waltz flowed out, and Jing Ruo began to dance the opening dance with Jing Hao. She stood on tiptoes and danced gracefully, and the girl's thoughts were revealed during the dance.

"What are you looking at?" Mu Mingcheng was not satisfied with her staring at the man in the middle of the stage, so he squeezed her wrist with a little force.

But once he pinched the smooth flesh and slender bones, he couldn't bear to use force or let go.

Following Gu Jin's line of sight, the man was the third generation of the Jing family. He seemed to be the same age as him and had also made a name for himself in the imperial capital.

I heard that this iceberg-shaped man is very popular with girls.

Mu Mingcheng's eyebrows twisted into a knot.

A slight feeling of pain drew Gu Jin's attention back from the two dancing people, and she glared at the man who caused trouble.

The beauty's eyes were angry, seemingly angry but not angry. Gu Jin's peach blossom eyes were extremely lethal.

Even though Mu Mingcheng had always believed from the bottom of his heart that they would break up in three months, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering for a moment at this moment.

His throat felt a little itchy for a moment. If it wasn't for the wrong time and place, he really wanted to kiss those gleaming eyes gently.

Seeing the eager light emanating from the depths of his eyes, Gu Jin turned his head unnaturally and moved the strands of hair left on both sides of his forehead.

In just a moment, the opening dance was over.

The mood came suddenly, Mu Mingcheng coughed and looked away, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"That woman named Jing Ruo is not simple." He said.

Gu Jin looked at him in surprise, meaning where did you see it

She learned about Jing Ruo's inner paranoia and madness from the book. How did he know about it

Could it be that he secretly investigated others

"Don't think too much," Mu Mingcheng's heart itched at the sight of her bright eyes, and he rubbed his fingertips.

The Jing family has many children and grandchildren, and competition is fierce. In the future, most of the Jing family will definitely be in Jing Hao's hands, and they won't dare to covet it. The only thing I can do is please the old man and hope to get some shares from him so that I can ensure that I have enough food and clothing in the future.

And Jing Ruo, as an adopted daughter, could easily get 5% of the shares from the old man of the Jing family, which shows that this girl is by no means as innocent and harmless as she appears, and she is a character that cannot be underestimated.

However, this kind of role is not worth Mu Mingcheng's heart. I don’t know what he was talking about just now!

After the opening dance, the men and women in the venue also stepped onto the dance floor.

Mu Mingcheng stretched out his hand in front of Gu Jin and half-bowed his body, clearly inviting him to dance.

Gu Jin hesitantly stared at the hand with clear bones in front of him, and did not move for a moment.

Mu Mingcheng raised his head, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes clearly said that he could not refuse. At such a dinner party, it would be rude to refuse someone's invitation to dance. Of course, the person who is rejected is also embarrassed.

Well, you brought it on yourself, don't blame me later. Gu Jin sighed silently, put his hand on his warm palm, and entered the dance floor.

Dancing is different from other things and cannot be learned overnight.

Although Gu Jin inherited the memory of the original owner, he still followed his own rules in terms of behavior and habits.

No, Mu Mingcheng's twitching expression regardless of his appearance speaks volumes.

"Can you dance?" After the song was over, Mu Mingcheng couldn't wait to drag him off the stage.

He shouldn't have been given high-heeled shoes. In the end, he was the one who suffered. Nakamikura didn't feel this pain on the battlefield.

He was ten centimeters tall and could nail his feet seven or eight times in just a few minutes of dancing. The insteps would definitely be bruised!

Mu Mingcheng smiled so coldly that he strongly suspected that she did it on purpose.

Gu Jin looked at him innocently. She didn't want to jump at all, but he insisted on pulling her over!

Well, she did have revenge in mind just now, but before she could carry it out, the music stopped.

She secretly cried out in her heart that it was a pity that she had finally followed the memory of the original owner and mastered the dance skills, but she was still not satisfied with it!

The expression on his face was quite a bit of regret.

But Mu Mingcheng would never dance with her again, and no one else would even think about it.

"Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to come to the banquet!" As soon as they came to rest, someone came up to say hello. Looking at Gu Jin's face, his eyes flashed with surprise and asked, "Who is this beautiful lady?"

The person who came this time was a chubby old man in his fifties or sixties, but he called Mu Mingcheng 'Mr. Mu', and he didn't act like an elder at all.

Of course, it may not be possible.

There are very few business people who are not smart people, and they always like to leave three points of leeway in what they say and do. Even if he had doubts about Gu Jin's identity, he would never say anything unpleasant. Besides, this girl is the first person that the Mu family boy has taken with him in many years.

And like the middle-aged man who just learned only the superficial knowledge but not the essence, he is destined not to go far in this glitzy fame and fortune market.

"This is my girlfriend, whose surname is Gu." Mu Mingchengxu put his arm around Gu Jin's shoulders and introduced her: "This is Boss Lin from Lin Hai Food Company."

"Hello, Boss Lin." Gu Jin obediently leaned into Mu Mingcheng's arms, holding the bag in his hand and said, "Your company's snacks are delicious. I often ate the snacks produced by your company when I was a child."

"Oh? Miss Gu still likes to eat snacks from my family?" Boss Lin was surprised and wanted to shake hands with her. Mu Mingcheng reached over Gu Jin to greet her, looked at her dotingly, and said in a helpless tone: "She has always been greedy. Eat, you’re not young anymore, you’re still like a child.”

Fuck your gluttony and go away like a child. Didn't you hear it when you were a child

Gu Jin didn't expect that he would get such a big deal out of making up some clever words.

It seemed that the scar had healed and he had forgotten the pain. She should have nailed it a few more times just now.

Gu Jinzhuang glared at the culprit in anger, and moved his fingers in circles little by little under the cover of his clothes.

Unexpectedly, Mu Mingcheng's body was covered with muscles. She didn't pinch him in pain, but her fingers started to hurt first.

Mu Mingcheng smiled gently and shook hands with others. With her strength, it was like tickling him without using a weapon. His feet were still hurting, but his waist was itching again.

"Haha, young man."

Who hasn't been young yet, looking at this possessive person, even an old man would mind. Boss Lin realized what Mu Mingcheng meant, shook his head twice knowingly, then let go of his hand, turned around and went to talk to someone else.

He met Mu Mingcheng by chance, and it was rare for people to still remember his name. It's what a businessman should do to please people, but it also depends on the situation. For example, when a couple is having a good time flirting, what does it mean for you to stand aside and act like a lightbulb

I have to say that Miss Gu is really discerning and has particularly good taste. Although their company has transformed into high-end food and no longer makes snacks in the past few years, snacks have always been the highlight of everyone in their company!

He felt happy when the company was praised, and after walking a few steps away, he remembered: If he remembered correctly, the Jing family and the Mu family didn't seem to have any friendship, but Mu boy came to the Jing family's banquet.

Could it be that the Jing family got on board with the Mu family

He is so old that he is not even well-informed.

So the next day, everyone knew that Mu Mingcheng, the president of Mu Group, had a beautiful girlfriend named Gu.

"Xiao Jin!"

Gu Jin and Mu Mingcheng were hurting each other when they heard a familiar voice and turned their heads. Cheng Xin in a pink dress was standing behind her.

To be honest, as the heroine, Cheng Xin's appearance is naturally not bad. Her eyebrows are delicate and her figure is plump, just like the beautiful peach blossoms on the branches, pretty and vivid.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here?" She complained with a pout as she walked closer.

She was not the host of today's banquet, and she didn't want to see her beloved man dancing with another woman in his arms, even if it was his nominal sister.

The woman's sixth sense told her that Jing Ruo had some ulterior motives for Jing Hao, but Jing Hao didn't believe her when she told her.

It was Jing Hao who she pursued in the first place. Even if the two of them confirmed their relationship, as long as it was not made public for a day, she would not dare to lose her temper in front of Jing Hao.

Therefore, he just found a place and waited for Gu Jin to call. She was so depressed that she couldn't express it to others, so she could only confide to the sister she had grown up with.

The banquet had already begun, but Gu Jin hadn't arrived yet. Cheng Xin couldn't wait to walk in and saw Gu Jin who was very dazzling in the crowd.

And, the man with a huge aura beside her.

Cheng Xin remembered that Gu Jinxin had a boyfriend, and she later contacted Shao Chong to ask about it. But every time I didn't say more than two words on the phone, the other party would hang up in a hurry. She was unhappy about this for a long time.

Cheng Xin walked over curiously, but was shocked when she saw the face of the man next to Gu Jin clearly.

It's him!

He was the one who saved her!

She covered her mouth and was speechless. She shook her head in disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes due to excitement.

Five years, she had been looking for him for nearly five years, but the Cheng family's power had not yet reached the military.

She didn’t have his contact information or his photo, so she decided to learn to draw. Then I drew him bit by bit according to the outline in my memory, and the portrait was plastered all over the studio.

In the past five years, she had dreamed about the scene in the bar countless times, and then woke up and fell asleep again looking at his portrait posted in her bedroom.

"Do you, do you still remember me?"

Gu Jin watched Cheng Xin approach step by step, passed her, and asked the man next to her in a trembling voice.

The author has something to say: Gu Jin: Oh, your words are too honest for your body. If you don’t do it, you won’t die! OK
