Maura is at the top of the socialite circle. Her mother is of Chinese origin and has close contacts with the domestic circles in Beijing and Shanghai. Her father is a well-known French luxury goods tycoon, and his influence is also intricate. The Mora family also has many properties. Like the Jiang family, it has influence in both political and business circles.
It is said that one of the share holders behind the annual CO.NO jewelry appreciation is the Mora family. This is also the reason why CO.NO plays a decisive role in the same appreciation activities, because according to the vision of the Mora family, the appreciation will The jewelry on it will all be superb.
Yu Nian had never met Maura. Although she and Maura were schoolmates when they were studying abroad, Maura was several years older than her. The reason why Maura is so popular in the socialite circle is that she doesn't attend every party. She only attends major and even royal parties around the world. A pure beauty of heaven, everyone who saw her admired her beauty.
Yu Nian, who was once so comfortable in this kind of situation, now fell in love with Qiao Min. As soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by media and acquaintances from the fashion industry. Of course, celebrities were also indispensable in this kind of situation. The arms of business celebrities to win the next day's hot topics.
The entire event is divided into two parts, the appreciation meeting and the dinner, no matter which part is the most important. Entry into and out of the venue and dinner was also very strict, with heavy security. Even if it wasn't for the priceless jewelry, the guests attending this event were all delicate and expensive.
The moment Yu Nian stepped into the venue, she finally understood something. Even though she was once a star in the socialite circle, now that she was no longer there, this circle was still a torment for her. It was a feeling she had never felt before. Now she just wanted to go home and lie in bed and read a book.
Qiao Min was proactive and took Yu Nian with her wherever she went, and then introduced her to everyone, "Everyone knows Yu Nian."
Everyone does know Yu Nian, and many of them are even old acquaintances of hers. Yu Nian's beauty, Yu Nian's purity, and Yu Nian's charm are all well-known in the circle. Not to mention the people surrounding Qiao Min, even those who didn't surround her, the other people at the venue Some people knew about her and were looking this way when they saw her coming.
Yu Nian could see their glances and their whispers, but he always kept smiling while holding the champagne glass.
Being able to hear some gossip in the bathroom is an old story. Whether in reality or in novels, movies, and TV shows, a bathroom and a tea room are definitely the best places to listen to gossip. Even on certain occasions, people can hear gossip. Can hear gossip about myself.
Yu Nian swore that she only went to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and she didn't even plan to touch up her makeup. She also asked if she could hear something, but sure enough, the plot went as she expected.
with no doubt.
"Did you see it? The daughter of the Yu family is here too."
"Can you not see her? She is so beautiful that she stands out everywhere."
"Did you two say hello to her?"
"No, I only knew her before and had no interaction with her."
"I have had contact with her before, but you have all heard about the current situation of the Yu family, right? Don't blame me for being snobbish, our circle has a cost of time."
"The Jiang family was in quite a big deal a while ago. She publicly broke up with the Jiang family's son again. I wonder if this is a sign of breaking off the engagement."
"Let's do it for the outside world to see. How can the Yu family be separated from the Jiang family in this situation?"
"Have you heard? Zhang Xuanwen held a party two days ago, and Yu Nian went there."
"Master Zhang is having a party? I haven't heard of it."
"It's a party in Beijing. It's not a business banquet. Can you go in? I heard it's at the Hongyu Club."
"Hongyu Guild Hall? Then how did Yu Nian get in? Even if nothing happens to the Yu family, she can't get in just because of her status as a socialite."
"I just heard about it, and I don't know the specific situation. She was able to go there most likely because of her connections with the Jiang family. Besides, she had made many friends in the Beijing circle due to her marriage to the Jiang family. .”
"They are all from the Beijing circle, and they are still a small group. So what is Yu Nian going to do? To build relationships?"
"It must be, I don't know how she did it. I'm afraid many people from Beijing and Shanghai and the business district have tasted her sweetness."
"You, be polite."
The women laughed.
Then one of them said, "But I heard that Maura came this time because she was working for the Jiang family. I don't know what kind of cooperation the two families can have."
"I'm not sure whether Maura will come. Who from the Jiang family can come?"
No one can answer this question.
Only a few people said, "If we cooperate, I don't know which way."
"you mean?"
"Marriage is also a kind of marriage."
After the gossips left, Yu Nian came out of the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, washing his hands with a calm expression.
It sounded like there were three of them, but Yu Nian didn't know who it was. Even the best relationship before was superficial, but now it has just returned to normal.
There was the sound of high heels behind him, and he stepped forward slowly.
"Miss Yu has a good temper."
The person behind him walked to the side and washed his hands leisurely.
Yu Nian didn't raise her head at first. When she heard the footsteps, she was still thinking that those three people were talking too freely. Not only did she, the rightful owner, hear their words, but others also heard them. Looking back, she was still wondering what happened at the scene. Talking nonsense.
She was surprised that the other party took the initiative to say hello. When she looked up at the person in the mirror, she was slightly startled.
The woman in the mirror is beautiful and tall, with a mixed-race appearance, fair skin, and long light brown hair styled elegantly. The dress she was wearing was really expensive, and the necklace around her neck that Yu Nian had seen before at an auction was bought by a mysterious person for US$50 million.
The woman looked a few years older than her, but her eyes were full of nobility but could not suppress the cynicism.
"Don't you know who I am? Or are you surprised that I know you?" The woman smiled half-heartedly.
Yu Nian was indeed unsure of the other party's identity at first. After all, there were many mixed-race people present, until he recognized the necklace around her neck.
"Maura," she said, "it does surprise me that you know me."
"Is it an accident? I've heard of Miss Yu a long time ago, when I was at school." After wiping her hands, Maura didn't intend to leave immediately, as she wanted to chat with her.
Yu Nian smiled faintly and did not answer.
I thought it was quite funny for a while. A piece of gossip between three people involved the two female clients, and it turned out that both of them could hear it clearly in the bathroom.
But she didn't expect Maura to show up here. Logically speaking, she would have a separate lounge and a separate bathroom. Moreover, the appreciation party has not been able to start for a long time. It is said that they are waiting for Maura, although the organizer only stated that the guests were not all present.
"With the current status of the Yu family, wouldn't Miss Yu be humiliating herself by appearing here?" Maura leaned aside and looked at her.
"I heard that when the Mora family was pioneering, they would squat down to polish the shoes of the guests at the banquet just for an order. Compared with this forbearance, what I am suffering now pales into insignificance."
Yu Nian's voice was light and gentle, neither humble nor arrogant, like a clear spring on a high mountain.
Maura's expression changed slightly and she sneered, "You want to compare yourself to my grandfather? I think you are weak and weak, but you can't change anything."
"Then let's talk about Miss Maura's mother, Ms. Ling Lan, who is also a delicate and frail woman." Yu Nian threw the hand towel into the trash can and looked up at Maura. "Ms. Ling Lan was criticized when she married into the Mora family, right? The Mora family was also involved in the global economic crisis. Ms. Ling Lan spent a lot of effort to stabilize the foundation of her husband and the family. I want to come here There were quite a lot of times when I had to swallow my anger."
Maura was not annoyed when she heard this, but looked at her with interest.
Yu Nian was surprised to see that she was not in a hurry, "Aren't you going to the venue?"
"Why are you anxious? Let those people wait." Maura said cynically, "What? There are people you care about in the venue waiting to leave as soon as possible?"
Not really.
It's just that she feels that this Maura is different from what she imagined. She is arrogant, after all, her background is there. But in addition to being arrogant, she is also a little rebellious at heart, and she will always look at everything with a cold eye as a bystander.
Maura added, "Did you know that I could come early in the morning?"
Yu Nian smiled slightly, "There is no need to deliberately check the situation of the Mora family. Many of them have become classic cases in business schools."
Maura snorted, "I thought Miss Yu had done her homework in advance."
"Then what?"
Maura took a step forward and approached her, "Isn't Miss Yu's purpose in risking her face to come to this event just for the remaining property of the Yu family? Maura's family has many properties. If you please me, you are equivalent to seizing this opportunity." A gathering of dignitaries and dignitaries."
Yu Nian always kept smiling, and he didn't say how flattered he was when he heard these words.
"Equality of interests is the key to maintaining a long-term relationship between people. At present, the Yu family does not have the ability to undertake the projects of the Mora family. I still know this. But Miss Mora just said it, I I can put my face aside and come here just to integrate interests and find the best partners."
"It turns out that Miss Yu has a clear goal." Maura smiled.
"Si family." Yu Nian said softly, "I heard that Miss Maura and the eldest son of the Si family are classmates. Although I am not flattering, but if Miss Maura can help make an introduction, I will be very grateful to Miss Maura. "
"Gratitude?" Maura found it funny, "Has Miss Yu been away from the circle for too long? Gratitude is the least valuable in the shopping mall."
"No, Miss Moura, you are wrong." Yu Nian refuted her words softly, "The kindness of helping someone in times of need is worth a thousand dollars."
Maura didn't expect her to say that, and was stunned for a moment.
Sneered, "Miss Yu's gratitude is worth nothing to me."
She was going to leave.
And he still left.
Yu Nian was not in a hurry and stared at the direction where Maura disappeared. So she wasn't surprised when Maura quickly came back.
"You don't want to beg me?" Maura was curious.
Yu Nian smiled slightly, "I was begging you just now, Miss Moura."
Maura was stunned and looked her up and down, "You are different from what I thought."
"What does Miss Maura think of me?"
Maura looked at her without speaking.
I think she will sacrifice everything for her own interests, including her dignity. After all, she has heard of some things.
For an opportunity like today, as soon as she entered the venue, there were countless people trying their best to curry favor with her, just for a chance to make money.
After a long time, Maura asked, "Si Tingyuan?"
Yu Nian nodded slightly.
"He's not that easy to talk to. Even though he and I are classmates, business cooperation is not about friendship."
"I understand, as long as Miss Mora allows me to meet with him."
Maura looked at her and suddenly smiled, "You don't want to take advantage of your beauty, do you? The eldest son of the Si family doesn't like this."
Yu Nian's expression did not change, as if she had heard too many such questions. "The Si family occupies a decisive position in the business world, and it is not just a moment of confusion. If I use my beauty to persuade the eldest son of the Si family, it will be shameful for Miss Mora."
There was an unexpected look in Maura's eyes, and she said calmly, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true."
After a long time, she suddenly asked Yu Nian again -
"What's your relationship with Mr. Yan?"
-
When Yu Nian returned to the venue, the event was about to start.
Qiao Min was holding her cell phone in one hand and was about to call her. She was relieved when she saw that she was back. "Where did you go? I thought you were kidnapped by that prodigal Zhang Xuanwen again."
Yu Nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Can't you expect me to do something better?"
He told me to go to the bathroom and listened to a piece of his own gossip.
"You're so good, you can still listen to it." Qiao Min was speechless after learning the content of the gossip. Otherwise, she would have to go out and tear the mouths of the three people apart.
"Do you know who it is?"
How can you care about this kind of thing? Yu Nian shook his head, "At most, it's just talk. If you really tell me how I fought those young men in the Hongyu Guild Hall, it would be worthwhile for me to take action."
"You talk so well, why don't you refute when those men slander your reputation? You can tolerate this kind of thing."
"What's the use of my explanation when my mouth is on someone else's face? These people just want to believe what they want to believe."
Qiao Min also knew these truths and sighed.
He raised his chin towards the VIP seat in the front row and said, "Maura."
Saw.
When they were in the bathroom, Maura left first. When Yu Nian came back, he saw Maura in the front row. It was no exaggeration to say that the stars were holding the moon. But Yu Nian's focus was on the man on Maura's left.
His profile is tall and straight, his spine is straight, he is wearing a dark suit that is well-tailored and luxurious, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist. His figure alone is enough to attract attention.
From Yu Nian's angle, he could just see his side face, with deep eyebrows and sexy and clear jawline. He exuded a strong and powerful aura, and his every move was noble.
Si Tingyuan.
It was a relationship she wanted to have.
Qiao Min followed her gaze and said softly, "The eldest son of the Si family has been in the limelight recently. I heard that he suppressed the second son of the Si family a while ago."
The Si family is not that big, with only two sons, but the only two sons never get along, and they bite each other hard in the shopping mall.
Qiao Min didn't say much about the situation of the Si family. Instead, she paid attention to the position on Maura's right. The empty space was always there, but it was very conspicuous.
"Nine times out of ten, it will be left to the Jiang family."
As soon as Qiao Min finished speaking, the scene was filled with excitement.
Yu Nian took the opportunity to look at the door of the scene and was startled.
It was actually the Jiang Nian Banquet.
