Ji Nuan's fair face was very indifferent: "I just don't want to cause unnecessary disputes and troubles. If I had known what was going on at this Hongmen Banquet from the beginning, I wouldn't have come today. I was alone downstairs just now. It’s okay to face Rong Cheng, but is the card game here really just a card game?”
After about a few seconds, laughter escaped from the man's throat: "You are really right. Although today's game was arranged by Rong Cheng, it was only because there were more people from the industry coming to Beijing and City recently. The family wanted to take advantage of this limelight to gain relationships with all parties. Rong Cheng just came forward on behalf of the Rong family and invited many people to eat, drink, and play cards. In the end, he probably even talked about formally inviting everyone to attend. The Rong family’s birthday party.”
Ji Nuan glanced in again: "So how big of a deal do the Rong family want to make this birthday party?"
Xiao Luye touched his chin and smiled: "I don't know how big the card is, but even the Xiao family is invited, and the Mo family is also invited, so it will definitely be big."
Ji Nuan glanced at him: "Mo Jingshen will come too?"
"I don't know. Invitations will probably be sent out, but it's unknown whether Mo Jingshen will come. But since Rong Cheng dares to call you here, he probably guessed that Mo Jingshen won't come."
Ji Nuan pursed her lips: "Don't tell him whether you're coming or not. Anyway, I don't want people to misunderstand that there is any disconnect between me and him."
Xiao Luye said playfully: "Don't let people misunderstand you, and don't do anything that makes people misunderstand."
Ji Nuan was a little dissatisfied with his playful tone: "What is it that makes people misunderstand?"
Xiao Luye laughed and suddenly scratched Ji Nuan's neck with his fingers. His voice was light and mocking: "Shouldn't your concealer be replenished?"
Ji Nuan: "..."
She suddenly raised her hands to cover her neck, looked at him in surprise again, turned around and walked quickly into the bathroom not far away. After entering, she looked in the mirror for a long time and found that there were only a few traces of it exposed. , but it’s not obvious, you have to look very carefully to see it.
Can Xiao Luye see this
Ji Nuan took out the concealer from her bag and applied it carefully. When she walked out, she saw Xiao Luye standing outside the bathroom with his arms crossed, looking at her with an ambiguous smile: "You and Mo Is there still a possibility of depth of field? I think Rong Cheng is probably really planning to introduce you to some other well-matched people today, just to distract you."
Ji Nuan didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't seem to have much to do with whether I will be eaten here today. After all, he is not here now, right?"
…
The two walked into the box. It was indeed as Ji Nuan thought. They were all people she was not very familiar with. There were only a few faces that seemed to have been seen at banquets and entertainment venues, but they were all strangers. very.
When these people saw Xiao Luye coming in, they were about to ask him to continue to the card table, but suddenly they saw a woman beside him, and they immediately glanced at Ji Nuan with various ambiguous looks.
Rong Cheng was over there on the sofa, his handsome face lowered, as if he was listening to the people around him. When he heard the movement, he raised his eyes in the direction of the box door and directly raised his lips and said: "Mr. Ji, you're here. There’s no need to be so reserved, let’s sit down together.”
"President Ji? Which President Ji?"
"Who else could it be, President Ji? Looking at this huge country, the one with the surname Ji can be called the CEO's woman in the eyes of our President Rong. I'm afraid it's the only one from the MN Group, right?"
"Oh, I remembered that beauty who was ranked in Forbes this year, right?"
"Come on, come on, sit down quickly. We didn't have a chance to get to know each other at the banquet last time. There were too many people at that time. Today is the perfect time. Beauty Ji, please sit down together!"
The group of people in the box did not see how much Rong Cheng was targeting Ji Nuan, and Rong Cheng didn't say much because Xiao Luye was here, but there were still a few people around him who could tell that he was targeting Ji Nuan. His eyes were not very cheerful. When he looked at Ji Nuan immediately, his eyes were filled with all sorts of considerations.
It's rare for someone to make Mr. Rong feel unhappy, and she's also a woman.
However, Ji Nuan didn't even look at Rong Cheng after entering the door. She only nodded and smiled at the other people around her. Just when someone was about to come over and shake her hand, Xiao Luye suddenly put his arm around her shoulders and sat her down. On a chair not far away.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, what is this...?"
"Take back your dog paws. Are you able to hold Miss Ji's hand this time?" Xiao Luye reprimanded half-jokingly, helping Ji Nuan directly block the overly enthusiastic approach of those young men.
"What's the matter? Mr. Ji is so charming this time? Mr. Xiao has also ushered in the second spring in his life? If you didn't follow that time and chanted songs to death, now you have switched to Mr. Ji?" Two people were passing him cigarettes next to him. I made a few jokes by the way.
Ji Nuan glanced at the people here calmly.
It seems that Xiao Luye was still young and frivolous when he first started chasing Shi Niange. It seemed that everyone who knew him well knew about his rotten sesame seeds and millet, but this man just squinted his eyes and held it in his mouth. The cigarette that had just been lit by someone came over, and he sat next to Ji Nuan and puffed away calmly, without saying a word about Shi Niange.
Because Xiao Luye was looking after him, those who were curious about Ji Nuan naturally did not dare to get closer. However, two men and a woman beside Rong Cheng stood up and came over, knocked on the table in front of Ji Nuan, and looked down at him. She glanced at him and said, "Mr. Ji, since you're here, don't be so reserved. Do you want to play cards together? There happens to be an empty table next to you."
In a blink of an eye, Ji Nuan saw that the card table was actually a mahjong table and smiled: "Sorry, I'm not very good at playing mahjong."
"Oh, why are you so modest? How many people in this business district can't play mahjong? This is the quintessence of the country!" The woman among the two men and one woman glanced at her, but there was some contempt in her eyes. laugh.
Ji Nuan said calmly: "I'm telling the truth. I didn't know how to play Mahjong when I was in China. Later, in the past few years abroad, the entertainment methods of foreign friends did not include mahjong, so I became even more unfamiliar. If these few people are really If you want to play, of course I can accompany you, but my poker skills are too bad and you don’t mind if I play too slowly.”
"No, no, let's play together!" The woman reached out and took Ji Nuan's arm, pretending to be intimate, as if she had known him for a long time.
Ji Nuan didn't need her to pull him up, he stood up directly, and at the same time took his hand out of the opponent's hand without leaving a trace, and walked directly towards the card table.
Seeing that Ji Nuan didn't seem to be too restrained, the two men and one woman looked at each other and were about to go over. Four people happened to be gathered together. However, as soon as one of the men passed over and sat down, he was suddenly pushed away by Xiao Luye. At the same time, Xiao Luye sat directly next to Ji Nuan.
