After Qin Mian finished styling, it was already close to five o'clock.
Qin Mian carefully looked at the woman in the mirror. The red velvet fishtail skirt wrapped her curvy body. Her black hair was rolled into big curls, lazily scattered on her white shoulders. The hair on one side was tied with a small The exquisite diamond hairpin was pinned up, revealing her smooth forehead.
She gently brushed her hair behind her shoulders, revealing her slender neck and extremely beautiful collarbones. Her red lips made her already thick-faced even more charming and bright.
She raised her hand, gently pressed her green jade fingers over the diamond-filled luxury jewelry necklace she wore around her neck, and a smile appeared on her delicate face.
To be honest, she has known that she is beautiful since she was a child, and she is not ordinary beautiful.
There were many boys who liked her when she was a student, but she only focused on Huo Lin, and she felt that her charming appearance was not dignified enough to attract Huo Lin's liking, so she always dressed more modestly.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has dressed up so boldly.
"Madam, sir, the car has arrived." Anna hurried in. Even though she had seen it many times, she was still amazed by the way his wife dressed up today.
"good."
Qin Mian turned around and put on a gentle smile again.
"Madam is so beautiful today. Sir, you will definitely like it when you see her!" Anna praised as she put a black shawl on Qin Mian's shoulders. "It's a little cold outside. When we get to the banquet location, you can put the shawl in the car. .”
As soon as she went out, a cold wind hit her face. Fortunately, the car was parked at the door and she could go to the stage by walking down two steps. Otherwise, Qin Mian felt that she could go back to the villa immediately.
Fangzhou had been waiting outside the car for a long time. When he saw Qin Mian coming over, he respectfully opened the car door and waited for her to sit firmly before closing the door.
The heating in the carriage was turned on, and Qin Mian took a while to recover, and then smelled a faint aroma.
The man beside him was wearing a well-tailored suit, his long legs were crossed, and he was holding a tablet in one hand. On the tablet was data that Qin Mian couldn't understand.
If this person wasn't the male protagonist, Qin Mian would really feel like he was showing off.
Fangzhou asked, and the man nodded slightly, and the car started to drive smoothly.
Perhaps the heater was turned on too much. Not long after the car got on the road, Qin Mian felt a little hot. She glanced at the man next to her. His handsome face was expressionless, and he was still quietly flipping through the tablet that she couldn't understand. Content.
Qin Mian breathed a sigh of relief and took off the shawl that was a little obstructive at the moment. Then she felt much more comfortable.
I don't know how long it took, just when Qin Mian was drowsy, the car got on the winding mountain road, and not long after, it stopped in front of a Chinese-style mansion.
After the car stopped, Fangzhou quickly got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.
The cold wind hit, and Qin Mian's chaotic mind suddenly sobered up.
In order to welcome the many guests, the wrought-iron gate of the Ji family's old residence has long been opened, and lights are brightly lit everywhere.
Just as Qin Mian was about to take a step forward, a hand was wrapped around his waist. Qin Mian was startled and quickly looked up at the people around him.
Sure enough, there was not much expression on Huo Lin's handsome face, but his eyes calmly swept forward.
Qin Mian followed her gaze and saw that people from the Ji family were waiting in front of the wrought iron gate. Just by looking at the license plate, she knew that the distinguished guests waiting for today had arrived, and several people hurriedly came to greet them.
Oh, it turned out that I was going to make a show.
She curled her lips secretly, put her hand around his arm, and put on a generous and decent smile on her face.
"Mr. Huo, you are here."
The big-headed man was wearing a smoky gray haute couture suit. He was 1.8 meters tall, had a handsome face and smiling eyes. He was the eldest grandson of the Ji family, Ji Chengjun, who was a doctor.
Then, two men and one woman behind him came forward to greet him eagerly.
Although everyone knew that the relationship between Huo Lin and his wife was not good, no one dared to embarrass Qin Mian directly in front of Huo Lin.
Several people did not stay outside much, especially the two women in the group who were wearing thin clothes.
As soon as she entered the hall, Qin Mian could feel countless eyes directed at her. She raised her chin slightly and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
"Say hello to Mr. Ji." Huo Lin lowered his eyes, fell on the white and delicate hand, and whispered.
"Okay." She suppressed the nervousness in her heart and followed Huo Lin to congratulate the protagonist of today's birthday party, Mr. Ji.
This kind of banquet is said to be a birthday banquet, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a large-scale blind date and business banquet.
Many people didn't even have a chance to make an appointment with Huo Lin before, but this time they all came to toast Huo Lin through the Ji family's banquet.
After a few rounds, Qin Mian felt that his feet were struggling. After saying something to Huo Lin, he walked directly out of the toasting team.
…
"This Qin Mian is really thick-skinned." A daughter complained.
"Tsk, if you weren't so thick-skinned, do you think you could be Mrs. Huo?" A young woman wearing a white satin dress walked out from the side, her beautiful eyes were sarcastic, and her face was full of arrogance.
"Siyu is right." A daughter agreed.
"Perhaps you came here because you begged Grandpa Huo?" Another daughter said with contempt in her eyes, "Sure enough, she can't stand up to the public, she looks like a coquettish person."
In wealthy circles, beauty is the worst card. Without a strong family background, what is the use of beauty?
Ji Min is also looking at this Mrs. Huo. Based on her previous contacts, she feels that this Mrs. Huo is polite and gentle. Regardless of her family background, they are very compatible with Mr. Huo.
She didn't know how these well-educated daughters of famous families could say so many unpleasant things when facing Qin Mian.
"Ah, Minmin, you see, Huo Lin doesn't like his nominal wife, but your brother from outside is a treasure!" Zhou Siyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Ji Min's face changed slightly, "Zhou Siyu, don't talk too much!"
"Oh, don't be angry. You know, I'm just outspoken. How about I apologize?" Zhou Siyu didn't take it seriously. Instead, she called Ji Min stingy.
"Yes, Minmin, Siyu has always been like this. It's not like you don't know." Another daughter also came to smooth things over.
Ji Min glanced at this group of people coldly, knowing that they all came to see her jokes, completely forgetting how he held her up before.
