Wu Jingjing shrugged and said, "It wasn't my idea, it was a message from the boss to my grandma in the afternoon. Who knows what happened to his old man, and suddenly he couldn't wait to see you."
Jiang Yisheng lowered his head, and while playing games, he sneered and said, "I won't see you for a while, but I want to see you for a while, are you treating people like monkeys?"
Wu Jingjing kicked him, and Jiang Yisheng fell silent. I snickered, the queen's training was very successful
I thought for a while and said, "Tonight is just tonight."
I planned to return to China after the night of the full moon and Wu Julan's body was in normal condition. I guess I would have no chance to see Wu Jingjing's boss again. Although it was just a business deal, they gave us warm hospitality, so I should also thank them in person.
I asked Wu Jingjing: "What are the dress requirements for the reception?"
Wu Jingjing said: "My grandma has prepared it for you, and it's all in your bedroom."
I am a little confused about the etiquette in which country to invite people to dinner and also to be responsible for preparing clothes.
Wu Jingjing glanced at Wu Julan, stood up, and said to me sincerely: "This matter is very important to my grandma, she hopes you can dress up to attend, so please." Ten degrees of bowing.
I was taken aback, and quickly said: "Okay, okay." Wu Jingjing has always taken good care of us, and I decided that no matter what fancy clothes her grandma prepared, I would bite the bullet and put them on, as a colorful entertainment. relative.
When I walked into the bedroom and saw the dress prepared by Wu Jingjing's grandma, I felt relieved. It wasn't some weird clothes, nor was it the bright and dazzling old man's aesthetic taste I imagined. A white jacquard waist-length princess dress with simple cut and clean workmanship, except for the jacquard fabric itself, there is no other decoration.
After I put it on, I realized that the tailoring and workmanship must be very knowledgeable. It looks very simple, but there is nothing wrong with the whole body. It makes me feel very comfortable to wear, and at the same time, it completely highlights the advantages of my figure. It can be said that I have never worn such comfortable and beautiful clothes. I wanted to check what brand it was, but I couldn't find anything, which made me suspect that it might be the legendary advanced private customization.
I walked out of the cloakroom and said to Wu Jingjing, "The skirt fits very well and looks very nice, thank you grandma."
"As long as you like it."
Wu Jingjing asked me to sit in front of the dressing table, and she stood behind me, helping me tie my hair up into a bun and put on a shiny diamond hair accessory. She has neat short hair herself, but she is quick to help people with long hair, and she said in a short while: "OK, wait a while when the hair is ready, and then put on light makeup."
It only took about ten minutes, Wu Jingjing said, "Put on those silver fish lip high heels, and go look in the mirror to see if you like it or not."
I put on my high heels, went to the mirror, and looked at myself in the mirror in amazement.
Wu Jingjing was very satisfied with my reaction, and while smiling, she put a diamond necklace on my neck and helped me put on the matching diamond earrings, "This is the witchcraft of our women."
I have to admit that she is right, it is really witchcraft. One skirt, one hairstyle, one makeup, and a few pieces of jewelry make me feel like a completely different person. I feel that I look tall, slender, and beautiful. ,noble.
I immediately thought of Wu Julan, and ran downstairs in a hurry, "Wu Julan, Wu Julan"
No one answered me, not only Wu Julan was not there, but even Jiang Yisheng was not there.
Wu Jingjing said behind me: "They have something to do, they left early, meet us at the reception later."
I said disappointedly: "They have something to start early"
Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ang will not miss your beauty tonight."
My heart was punctured, and I was embarrassed, so I quickly covered it up and said, "Go and change your clothes and put on makeup, I'll wait for you."
In less than twenty minutes, Wu Jingjing changed into her dress, put on her makeup, and walked out swayingly. She was wearing a rose-red long dress, slender and flamboyant, like a flower blooming in the evening wind. Rose, I couldn't help but marvel, "What is a stunner, you just showed yourself."
Wu Jingjing smiled and took my arm and said, "Let's go."
When we arrived at the reception, I realized that it was not the small reception I had imagined.
The resplendent banquet hall, the white-clothed waiters, and the well-dressed guests all looked like grand dinner parties I saw in Hollywood movies. No wonder Wu Jingjing's grandma specially prepared clothes and jewelry for me.
Along the way, people have been looking at us. I was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but Wu Jingjing looked forward to her appearance and enjoyed the attention of everyone. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, they are just admiring your beauty." She took my arm affectionately and winked at me, "Who told us tonight that one is a fire rose, the other is a clear water lily, and the other is a sage Double opening, man's biggest dream"
I smiled wryly, "This is the little reception your grandma hastily prepared."
Wu Jingjing said helplessly: "Tonight is very important to her. You should be thankful that the old man pays attention to the sense of ceremony. She has limited time and invited guests. If she is given a few more days, it is estimated that even the chiefs of African tribes will come."
I asked curiously: "Why do you keep saying that tonight is important to your grandma"
"Snail"
A voice from behind interrupted me, I turned around and found that it was Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan. They stared at me in amazement and looked at me carefully from head to toe as if they had never seen me before.
I also looked at them unceremoniously. The two stood arm in arm, showing intimacy, obviously a pair of like-minded lovers. Just looking at the appearance, the gentle man and the beautiful woman are indeed a pair of lovers. But when I think of Zhou Buwen leaving his girlfriend behind and pretending to pursue me, and Zhou Buyan seeing his boyfriend flirting with other women, I feel a little sick.
Maybe my eyes were too sarcasm, Zhou Buwen moved his body uncomfortably, trying to get a little distance from Zhou Buyan, but Zhou Buyan tightened his grip and looked at me demonstratively.
Zhou Buwen smiled and said, "Little Luo, why are you here?"
I seemed to be gentle and polite to him, but my superior tone was very uncomfortable. I imitated his tone and smiled and said, "No, why are you here?"
&n
bsp; Zhou Buwen's smile froze, and he asked, "Didn't Wu Julan come with you?"
My tone softened, "He will come over later."
Zhou Buyan couldn't hold back any longer, and said sarcastically: "The bumpkin thinks he is rich after selling two broken stones. He dares to come to New York to show off his wealth with several million yuan. Beware of your embroidered pillow man who eats soft food!" A friend was spotted by a real rich woman and snatched away."
Fighting? When I wanted to win, I never lost. I smiled and said: "Miss Zhou has time to worry about me, why not worry about myself first, at least my boyfriend has never had a bad record of trying to cheat." I patted Zhou Bu Wen's shoulders, as if the two brothers are good friends, unconcerned, "Big head, did you tell your girlfriend that you confessed to me and tried to kiss me forcefully, but I rejected it?"
Zhou Buyan turned blue with anger, "You don't really know that he is my fiancé, he is just pretending"
"Shut up, shut up," Zhou Buwen reprimanded with an ugly face, but it was already too late.
A fact unfolded before me that I had been ostrich-like refusing to face for lack of evidence. I stared at Zhou Buwen, pinched his shoulder hard, and wanted to question him a lot, but I was too angry and sad, so I couldn't say a word.
It turned out to be really Zhou Buwen. I can barely understand why the speeding car robbery and burglary, but how could he treat Jiang Yisheng like that? How could Jiang Yisheng’s father send four gangsters to attack me? Is friendship for many years not important in front of money? Is it
A cold hand grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand away from Zhou Buwen's shoulder. Already familiar with the temperature of the bone marrow, I immediately held his hand instead before turning to look at him.
Under Wu Julan's deep and peaceful eyes, my anger and sadness gradually calmed down.
When Zhou Buwen saw Jiang Yisheng next to Wu Julan, his face became more and more ugly.
Jiang Yisheng smiled and said to Zhou Buwen: "I remember the first time I drank, I learned from you. I found it very difficult to drink. I sipped it in small sips, and you laughed at me for not being a man. Big head, I'll toast you again"
Jiang Yisheng casually took a bottle of strong foreign wine from the tray carried by the waiter, poured a full glass, and drank it all in one go with his head raised.
Zhou Buwen looked at him with ashen face.
The first drink is the beginning of a young friendship; the last drink is the end of a young friendship. Because of Li Datou back then, Jiang Yisheng no longer pursued Zhou Buwen for what he did, but after breaking up with him and drinking, Zhou Buwen committed another crime, and Jiang Yisheng will take revenge.
Thinking of when we were young, the three of us hid on the deserted beach, secretly drinking and smoking, talking and laughing, and looking at the front of me again, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and the questions that were hovering around my mouth disappeared. meaning. There is no "why", or "why" is not important at all. The important thing is that time has changed our appearance after all, turning us into strangers. Asking what happened in the past time has no meaning to strangers.
Jiang Yisheng smiled and handed the empty wine glass to Zhou Buwen, but Zhou Buwen didn't take it for a long time. Jiang Yisheng asked with a smile: "If you dare to do it, you must dare to admit that you don't even have the courage to drink a glass of wine?"
Zhou Buyan didn't understand the charade between Jiang Yisheng and Zhou Buwen. Watching Jiang Yisheng drinking was probably like Lin Daiyu watching Grandma Liu drinking tea when she first entered the Grand View Garden. I didn’t even know the English of the wine, so I came to let’s reception, I’m ashamed, I don’t know, let’s go, ignore them”
Zhou Buyan dragged Zhou Buwen away, Jiang Yisheng returned the empty wine glass to the waiter, I asked Jiang Yisheng worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yisheng said: "Don't worry about me, and don't affect your mood because of Zhou Buwen, it's not worth it." He glanced at Wu Julan and smiled meaningfully, "Little Luo, you are the protagonist tonight, and the main event hasn't started yet."
I looked at his and Wu Julan's extraordinarily formal attire, and remembered that I came to see Wu Jingjing's boss tonight, but I'm really not in the mood to chat and laugh with strangers right now, I just want to finish the task quickly and return to the apartment.
"Liangliang, what's your boss's name and where is he?"
Wu Jingjing glanced at the handshake between Wu Julan and me and said, "The boss' name is regu, which is Latin, meaning prince, and it also means the heart of a lion. My grandma will introduce him to you soon. Oh, my grandma It’s the let mentioned by Zhou Buyan just now, many people who don’t know her think she is knowledgeable, mysterious, elegant and charming”
Wu Jingjing didn't go any further, because of the sudden silence in the banquet hall, I followed everyone's enthusiastic eyes and saw her grandma, a well-dressed, charming old lady walked in. She wore a black evening dress, her hair was tied neatly behind her head, and her age could be seen at a glance, but time left elegance and demeanor on her, turning every wrinkle into a gift of time. In front of her, a room full of beautified and vying for beauty suddenly seemed to be reduced to a foil.
I couldn't help but look at her, and then at Wu Jingjing. Wu Jingjing's face is very Asian, but her grandma is very Western, not a Western blonde, but a Hispanic with black hair and honey-colored skin. The two faces are completely different, but they can find obvious similarities.
Wu Jingjing explained: "My grandma claims to be a Gypsy with Spanish blood. I have Indian and Chinese blood."
I nodded to show I understand.
Wu Jingjing's grandma stood in front of the microphone and delivered a welcome speech in English.
Her speaking speed is not fast, and her pronunciation is also very standard. I basically understand everything. The guests she invited tonight are all her friends who have a cooperative relationship with her. There are old partners who have cooperated for hundreds of years, and there are also new partners who are expanding business in Asia. Her business involves many fields, such as real estate, jewelry, pharmaceuticals, medical care, mining, and new energy. , this is a low-key but wealthy business kingdom.
The more I listen, the more curious I am, what kind of boss would such a smart and elegant lady serve
Let suddenly looked in our direction, she stretched out her hand, and made a gesture of respectful invitation, "As I told you before, my family only runs all the business for my boss. Tonight, please allow me to introduce my Boss regu."
Everyone looked at us, to be precise, they followed Let's gaze at Wu Julan. I realized something, but couldn't believe it, and looked around blankly, trying to find someone else who proved me wrong. However, there was no one else around, only Wu Julan.
