"Congratulations, thank you, brother. I didn't expect your daughter to find her sweetheart so quickly. I originally thought about coming to propose marriage in person in a few days. After all, my child is approaching age."
"Don't listen to this old boy's nonsense. His children are already several years old and already engaged to someone."
"You know what the heck, I'm talking about the one that's not yet born, I was only conceived two months ago."
"Is this called 'coming of age'? This must be still in the mother's womb, the two of them are more than ten years apart!"
"That's why you said you don't understand. As the saying goes, 'a female junior holds a gold brick', why can't I come back holding a gold brick?"
"Hahaha!"
Xie Jianye smiled and sipped the red wine in his glass.
"My daughter's vision is not so casual. She has a very stubborn personality. If I were to give her a casual kiss, she would definitely not agree. It must be someone she really likes... the so-called 'pursuit of true love' Well."
"That's for sure. Young people's ideas are different from ours at that time. Love is the best."
Everyone agreed.
Of course, that's what Xie Jianye said, and the guests also used "daughter's sweetheart" to describe the boy who was engaged to his daughter, but everyone knew that these were polite words.
The Xie family's daughter is only a few years old. She is just a junior high school student. The classmates she sees around her are all young boys. Where can she find true love?
Even if they, adults, think it's okay for children to fall in early love, they can't hastily agree to let the relationship in middle school truly become a bargaining chip for marriage.
Therefore, the reason why this dinner can be held today can only be designated by the parents; and since it is the parents who have made the marriage contract for their children, it is inevitable to avoid the influence of practical factors such as the opening of the house and the combination of interests between the families.
For them, the pursuit of these is already an instinct imprinted in their genes. This has nothing to do with whether their personality is ruthless or not. It is just a common sense that they naturally follow.
When someone was talking, they were also quietly observing and sizing up the boy sitting in the far corner, whispering to the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
The other party's appearance looked unfamiliar, and the guests were all secretly guessing which family this young master belonged to.
Of course they could not have imagined that this boy's identity was far beyond their imagination, and the only person who had ever known Lin Pianyu was Xie Jianye, but it was impossible for him to tell the truth to outsiders.
He put down his drink and waved to the young people.
"Yuzhi, and Jing Xing, come here."
Xie Jianye said with a smile.
"Let me introduce you to them. These uncles and uncles are all my good friends."
…
Although I chatted with all the guests surrounding Uncle Xie and received several contact information, everyone’s attitude was very kind and enthusiastic, and everyone was very polite——
But Yan Jingxing still felt on pins and needles.
Listening to a group of older middle-aged people chatting and joking, all that surrounded his ears were unintelligible topics and boring jokes. Not to mention joining in the conversation, he just felt embarrassed to the point of tightening his scalp.
Yan Jingxing's eyes drifted to the side unconsciously, and he happened to bump into the girl next to him.
The two looked at each other. Even without opening their mouths to communicate, they can understand what each other is complaining about, and the mood suddenly resonates.
"You have experienced this kind of banquet before, right? Do you always feel like this?"
He lowered his voice so that only they could hear.
Miss Xie shook her head gently.
"I just didn't want to participate in boring social activities, so I asked my father to stay in the country. This town is at least cleaner."
The only problem may be the learning environment, but the eldest lady has a cram school and private teachers, so she will not lag behind the students of key middle schools in the city.
"So that's it..."
Yan Jingxing sighed. Out of politeness, he could only stand here in a daze, not to mention Yuzhi was here too.
"When will it end?"
Just when he was thinking this, the accident that suddenly ended the current atmosphere came like this——
"Boom!"
Pushing the door open unabashedly and roughly. Everyone in the hall heard the sound and turned their surprised eyes to the door.
…
The person who appeared at the door was a woman about twenty-five years old.
She is tall, like a model on a catwalk. Her bright red goldfish tail dress outlines her perfect and sexy figure. Her long platinum hair is braided into delicate braids and falls behind her along the snow-white ridges. .
It's strange that this woman just stood there quietly with one hand on her hips like this, and she felt arrogant and wanton, like a burning fire, which immediately grabbed the attention of everyone present.
The outline of her facial features looks deeper and more three-dimensional than that of ordinary women. She seems to have the characteristics of a mixed race, and her makeup is gorgeous. There is a kind of offensive and aggressive beauty in women, so beautiful that it almost brings a chilling air.
There was a hint of arrogance in her smile. After looking around with a pair of bright eyes, she strode towards the interior of the hall.
"Hello."
The woman greeted Xie Jianye with a cheerful tone.
"I heard that this is the engagement banquet of Yan Jingxing and Xie Yuzhi... I must have called the wrong name, right? Are you the host of this banquet?"
"I heard that this is the engagement banquet of Yan Jingxing and Xie Yuzhi... I must have called the wrong name, right? Are you the host of this banquet?"
Xie Jianye was slightly startled.
He calmly looked around at the expressions of the people around him and found that everyone's expressions were either surprised or confused, or they were simply fascinated by that beautiful face and proud figure...
It seems that he was not invited by anyone else.
"Yes, I am Xie Yuzhi's father, Xie Jianye." He asked cautiously and politely, "Excuse me, are you..."
"Qiu Qimeng."
"Ah, what a nice name." Xie Jianye said, but repeated the question again, "Who is you?"
"Don't worry, I did receive the invitation, and I'm not an uninvited guest."
She raised her jade wrist slightly, holding a piece of letter paper painted with gold powder between her fingertips painted with red manicure.
Xie Jianye borrowed the invitation letter, and it was signed "Pan Asia Medical"——
He frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he pulled out the name from the corner of his mind.
This is a large, internationally renowned medical group that cooperates with many world-renowned biomedical research institutes. Pan Asia Medical opened a branch company in Jinjiang City the year before last and bought an entire building as its base, while China Construction Group contracted the renovation project there.
He didn't pay too much attention to this matter. After all, it was just a relationship between the contractor and the client. After it was over, there was no further contact. It can be said that the business between the two parties was consistent.
Hundreds of similar invitations have been sent out from here. In most cases, people or companies that are not closely connected will not send people to attend. At most, they will just give a courtesy gift in return.
When someone from a company like this comes to your doorstep, and they appear in a way that deliberately attracts attention, they are no different from "uninvited guests".
Moreover, judging from this woman’s tone, her goal is not herself or her business, but—
"Excuse me, is your wife here?"
Qiu Qimeng's eyes flickered, and she soon saw an unmarried couple standing together hand in hand, looking too young.
She smiled.
"Ah, you two are Yan Jingxing and Xie Yuzhi, right? I've heard their names for a long time."
Abandoning the others, the woman walked straight towards them, her crystal high heels stepping on the marble floor, making a crisp echo.
Yan Jingxing opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
This was the first time he had seen a woman with this kind of temperament, and it was different from everyone he had seen before.
But if asked what the difference was, he couldn't tell clearly, he just felt... a little shocked.
Of course Yuzhi and Chunzao are eye-catching, cute and beautiful girls who stand out among their peers; but after all, they are still young and do not yet have the kind of woman who seems to declare herself to everyone anytime and anywhere. The flamboyant beauty of presence.
Xie Yuzhi beside her remained calm. She kept a calm tone and replied:
"Have you ever heard of your name? I'm sorry, but I don't know you."
A perfect smile appeared on Qiu Qimeng's lips. She shook her head slightly, and the ends of her platinum hair swayed slightly with her movements.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I know you, that's enough."
She suddenly took another step closer. The woman had a slender figure, and this step suddenly shortened the distance between the two sides to within a stone's throw.
"Are you Yan Jingxing?"
She was taller than the boy, and Yan Jingxing had to raise his eyes to look at her. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression on her body.
"……what you up to?"
Yan Jingxing tensed his face, held his breath, and stared at the other party seriously.
Qiu Qimeng leaned forward slightly, and in front of everyone, including Xie Yuzhi, his fiancée, she put her plump red lips to his ear and said something that surprised him:
"——Boy, how does it feel to be a body manipulator...to be a superman?"
*
The woman appears in a turbulent state and then calms down like a gust of wind. After this interruption, the atmosphere in the hall quickly returned to its original state.
Xie Yuzhi, who sat back on the chair, kept her slender brows furrowed and never relaxed them from just now.
"Relax, Yuzhi. Although that woman knows about Su Ti and us, she doesn't look like the kind of unreasonable person. At least there is no need to worry that she will turn against her here."
Yan Jingxing, who was sitting next to her, comforted her.
Of course, he didn't hide the words that the other party said that revealed his identity, including her statement that she wanted to chat with him privately later.
And now, the woman named Qiu Qimeng is staying in the corner of the hall away from the crowd like them. She was leaning halfway against the table behind her, with a graceful and stretched posture. She was holding a tall wine glass in one hand, shaking it slightly, and was sipping red wine elegantly.
Some people boldly came forward to strike up a conversation, but she dismissed them easily with a few words.
"...Oh, that's not what I was worried about."
Xie Yuzhi sighed softly.
"Huh? Then what are you worried about?"
Miss Xie glanced at him and did not answer, just shook her head slightly.
