Qin Mian, who left the toasting team, put down the wine glass and found a relatively remote seat to enjoy the delicious dessert.
While she was eating happily, a shadow cast over her head. She looked up and recognized it was the third young master of the Ji family.
Of course she had heard about the Ji family's affairs, and she also knew that the third young master Ji was the illegitimate son who had just been brought back by the Ji family.
Compared with other members of the Ji family, Ji Chengyi's appearance is more outstanding, even a bit monstrous, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are romantic, and he always looks a bit naughty.
Qin Mian was a little uncomfortable with this look and frowned slightly, "Mr. Ji, what's the matter?"
The woman's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, with doubt on her face. The end of the luxurious diamond necklace gradually entered the end of her chest. Ji Chengyi smiled with a hint of helplessness, "Mianmian, we haven't seen each other for just a few years, why don't you?" Remember me."
Qin Mian frowned and leaned back unconsciously. His mind was racing and he couldn't remember when he had any interaction with this wealthy illegitimate son.
"Excuse me……"
"It's normal if you don't remember," Ji Chengyi interrupted her, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone, "Before I returned to Ji's house, my name was Zhou Chao."
Zhou Chao?
Qin Mian frowned, and something useful suddenly flashed in his mind.
As the heroine, Lin Xue must have suffered the most in her life because she was tortured by this vicious female supporting character. Later, in addition to the love of the male protagonist, she also had the love of various male supporting characters.
Lin Xue can be said to be the author's own daughter, and she has been assigned various affectionate male partners, including one who was once found by the heroine Guang Guang and was her childhood playmate, Zhou Chao.
However, he didn't have much plot. When he appeared, he had already become the winner of the battle between the wealthy families, and was also one of the heroine's spare blood packs. Her vicious ex-wife met a miserable end, including his charge for love.
So, will Ji Chengyi finally take over the Ji family? In the end, he changed his name back to Zhou Chao?
Qin Mian didn't know Ji Chengyi, but he knew Zhou Chao. The two were classmates for half a year in high school, but Zhou Chao later transferred schools.
As for why he didn't recognize him at first sight, apart from the fact that he hadn't seen him for many years, there was also the fact that he had changed so much.
She didn't have a deep memory of him. After much deliberation, she could only think of a gloomy young man with heavy eyes and messy hair all year round. He was completely incompatible with today's romantic young man.
So Zhou Chao, no, Ji Chengyi had been eyeing her since very early?
A chill suddenly creeped up behind her. Qin Mian unconsciously squeezed her hands and smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Mr. Ji must have admitted the wrong person."
The woman leaned back, and it could be seen from her tense shoulders that she was nervous, and her beautiful eyes contained warning.
…
The night is already dark, but the dinner party is reaching its climax.
Shen Wanyu had just finished dancing when he turned around and saw a man and woman in the corner.
The woman is Qin Mian, and the man is?
"Lao Huo, do you know Mr. Ji and your sister-in-law?" He tilted his head slightly and asked Huo Lin.
Following Shen Wanyu's line of sight, Huo Lin saw Qin Mian in the corner.
The heating in the infield was very strong, and the black shawl had been taken off, revealing her round shoulders. Under the light, her skin was as gleaming as jade.
I don’t know what the man said, but there was a gentle smile on his beautiful face.
"Tsk, could it be that Ji Chengyi wanted to get you to invest? But he didn't get it, so he turned to Qin Mian to give you some advice?" Shen Wanyu joked.
The man's eyes roamed Qin Mian's body unscrupulously, but Qin Mian didn't seem to notice anything.
Huo Lin stepped up and was about to go over when a person walked in front of Ji Chengyi. Soon, Ji Chengyi smiled at Qin Mian and left with the person.
After a while, the potbellied Mr. Ji led his young son over.
Shen Wanyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of interest.
"Come on, Cheng Yi, this is Mr. Huo and that is Mr. Shen." Mr. Ji led his youngest son with a smile, "Alin, Wanyu, my uncle has told you about my youngest son before. Although he is young, , but it’s a good one.”
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Shen." Ji Chengyi raised the corners of his lips slightly and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
…
When the banquet ended, it was already a little late, and the guests gradually left.
Qin Mian searched for a long time before finding the black shawl she brought on the ground in the corner of the sofa.
She had obviously placed it next to her before. When did she get here? And it's so dirty? It was obvious that wine had been poured on it, and there were wine stains on the edges.
This is impossible.
Although she has money now, a custom-made shawl is nothing, but there is still a way to go beyond the Ji family villa. If she goes out like this, she will definitely catch a cold tomorrow.
Although I was angry, I couldn't clamor for an explanation from the Ji family. This quarrel was really not good-looking, and I could only blame myself for the misfortune.
She sighed, ignored it, and went to Huo Lin.
When he walked to Huo Lin, Mr. Ji was still talking to Huo Lin.
Seeing her coming, Mr. Ji smiled, patted Huo Lin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "A Lin, come back."
Huo Lin nodded, glanced at Qin Mian beside him, and then realized that the neckline of Qin Mian's dress was too big this time, and the end of the diamond necklace he sent slipped into the ravine on his chest.
People of the same height or with similar heights will not think there is anything wrong with this kind of dress when viewed from the front, but if a person of the same height gets closer, they can get a glimpse of the scenery from the bottom up.
Previously, Qin Mian was sitting on the sofa, while Ji Chengyi was standing opposite her, very close.
In just a few seconds, he looked away.
"Where's the shawl?" he asked, his voice cold and hard.
Qin Mian glanced at him, her unhappiness evident on her expressionless face, and she rolled her eyes silently.
She should be the one who is unhappy, why can he be unhappy? What, the Huo family is going bankrupt? Can’t afford to throw away even a shawl?
"Dirty." She didn't want to indulge Huo Lin's bad temper, so her voice became colder.
After that, she raised her steps to leave. As soon as she took half a step, her wrist was grabbed by someone, and then, a coat with body temperature and a faint fragrance was covered on her body.
Qin Mian was stunned, and when she turned around, she saw Huo Lin straightening the coat on her body with one hand, and holding the mobile phone in the other hand, her fingers flying, and she didn't know what she was typing.
After receiving Qin Mian's confused look, he said quietly: "Wait a minute."
A minute later, when she followed Huo Lin out of the villa, she realized the meaning of this sentence.
It only took exactly one minute for the car to drive in from the gate of the house.
