Fang Ru's eyes showed a bit of unwillingness. She urgently wanted to know who the woman who brought Qiao Man here was.
"Brother, I want to give my friend a surprise. Can you let me take a look at you at the door?" Fang Ru said with a pleading face.
"No." The bodyguard said coldly.
Fang Ru wanted to rush in directly, but she didn't dare.
The bodyguard at the door is tall and strong, and he is not someone to be trifled with at first glance.
Moreover, not everyone can hold a banquet here in the banquet hall of this hotel.
"Who is holding the banquet inside?" Fang Ru asked, rolling her eyes.
The bodyguard frowned and stared at her warily: "Don't you have an invitation letter at all? Are you a reporter?"
Fang Ru was frightened by the fierce aura emanating from the bodyguard. She waved her hands and said, "Of course I do. I'll call my friend now."
With that said, Fang Ru took out her phone, turned back to the elevator, and immediately pressed the downstairs button, sweating all over her body.
She intuitively felt that if she had not left just now, the bodyguard would probably not let her go.
If Qiao Man knew that she had followed her, she would lose all her dignity.
After going downstairs, Fang Ru went directly to the front desk to find out who was holding the banquet on the top floor.
This matter is not a secret, and the front desk did not hide it: "This is the homecoming dinner for the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Are the guests also invited? Do you need me to send you upstairs?"
"Gu family?" Fang Ru's eyes widened in shock, her expression a little solemn, and she subconsciously shook her head: "No, no need."
After dropping a few words, Fang Ru ran out of the hotel without looking back, took out her mobile phone and checked the information of the eldest daughter of the Gu family on the Internet.
By the time she finished checking, everyone was numb.
Although there is no detailed information about the eldest daughter of the Gu family on the Internet, the Gu family, as a top-ranked company in Dragon City, has many introductions, and there is also a photo of the chairman of the Gu family, who looks particularly like Gu Yao.
Fang Ru was absolutely sure that the rich girl who was close to Qiao Man was the eldest daughter of the Gu family.
In an instant, jealousy was like concentrated sulfuric acid, almost corroding her heart.
Why is Qiao Man so lucky? Do all the friends I have made have such powerful identities and backgrounds?
No, maybe the relationship between them is not as good as imagined?
After all, Gu Yao is the eldest lady of the Gu family, who does Qiao Man count?
At this time, in the banquet hall.
Gu Yao was like an eagle guarding her cubs. She was afraid that Qiao Man would be in danger if she left her sight, so she took her to sit on the sofa in the rest area and brought her a lot of food and drinks.
"Man Bao, I'm going to go on stage later, you stay here first and don't talk to strange people, you know? I'll be done soon."
Qiao Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I know, I'm not a fool, you go and do your business."
"Okay, the self-service is over there. If it's not enough, you can take it."
"Yes." Qiao Man nodded slightly, remembering the back figure he saw before, and couldn't help but look around, trying to find that person.
He looked so much like Fu Shaoting that she couldn't help but think about it.
Gu Yao noticed her gaze and asked strangely: "Manbao, what are you looking at?"
There was some hesitation in Qiao Man's eyes, and she said hesitantly: "I saw a figure before, who looked like my husband..."
"Ah?" Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand and said, "How can he get in with just one salesperson?"
The people her father invited today were all business celebrities and people who were close friends with the Gu family. It was impossible for Qiao Man's husband to appear here.
Hearing this, Qiao Man nodded in agreement: "That's right, I must have read it wrong."
Maybe that person just looks like Fu Shaoting from the back.
"By the way, he has been busy with work recently and has not had time to meet you these days. When he is done with this period of time, I will book a restaurant and have a meal together."
Gu Yao couldn't help laughing and said: "My dad is not as busy as him."
Qiao Man said rather helplessly: "His company has new projects recently, so he should just finish this period of time."
"Just wait until he is finished and meet again. We can't delay work." Gu Yao said she understood and didn't care much.
"good."
At this time, Father Qiao's secretary came and said in a respectful tone: "Miss, Mr. Gu asked you to come over. It's time to go on stage and give a speech."
"I got it." Gu Yao nodded, turned to look at Qiao Man and warned: "Man Bao, if you need anything, call the bodyguard. I'll be back soon."
"You go ahead, don't worry about me." Qiao Man said calmly.
It was impossible for her to be in any danger at the Gu family's banquet, and the security here was reassuring.
Gu Yao turned around and left to find Gu's father.
Qiao Man picked up a plate of small cakes and started eating. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the fragrantly dressed people at the banquet, and she felt very comfortable.
Little did they know that Fu Shaoting was hiding in the crowd, constantly scanning her figure, but he did not dare to stare at her unabashedly like before.
If Qiao Man really caught him, he would be doomed.
Qiao Man could clearly feel the gazes that fell on her from time to time. Her expression remained unchanged and she didn't care about those gazes at all. She was as steady as a mountain.
Not long after, Gu Yao came to the stage to give a speech, with a wanton and proud smile on her face, like a red rose with thorns, which was particularly scorching and eye-catching.
Her voice became clearer and more moving, and spread throughout the banquet hall along with the microphone.
Qiao Man put down the empty plate, took a sip of champagne, and looked at Gu Yao who was chatting on the stage with a smile in her eyes.
"Miss, what's your name?" Suddenly, a careless voice sounded from beside Qiao Man.
He turned his eyes and saw a face that was drained by alcohol and a little greasy.
"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Qiao Man asked lightly.
The man twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled with a self-consciously evil smile. In Qiao Man's eyes, it looked like he had just come out of the second hospital and was in an abnormal state.
"Let's make a friend. What's your name? What's your phone number?" Guo Sheng stared at Qiao Man with squinted eyes, looking up and down her beautiful figure without any concealment.
Qiao Man's face suddenly turned cold: "I'm married. Sir, please respect yourself."
Who knows, when a man hears the word marriage, his eyes light up even more, wouldn't a married woman be more exciting?
"I don't mind if you get married." Guo Sheng smiled more and more wildly and raised his hand to hug Qiao Man's shoulder.
Fu Shaoting happened to see this scene, his dark eyes suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously wanted to rush forward.
After taking just two steps, he saw Qiao Man dodging Guo Sheng's arm. He remembered the current situation again and stopped abruptly, his eyes almost blinding Guo Sheng.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Gu Yao had stepped down from the stage and hurriedly walked towards Qiao Man. Only then did he hide in the crowd again.
Guo Sheng felt an inexplicable chill on his body. He looked around and saw nothing wrong. His eyes fell on Qiao Man again and he reached out to hold her hand: "Miss, dance with me."
A look of disgust flashed across Qiao Man's face, and she immediately stood up to avoid Guo Sheng, a little annoyed: "Sir, please respect yourself."
I didn't expect to meet such a person.
