As night fell, the entire top floor of the five-star hotel invested by Huo's was specially reserved as a banquet venue for guests.
The hall is crowded with people, both men and women are wearing luxurious clothes. A huge crystal lamp hangs from the high dome, and the bright and lustrous light envelopes the entire main hall.
The atmosphere is dreamlike, with a faint piano sound flowing in the air.
A slightly angry male voice came from the corner of the wall.
"My Shen family has given him little support over the years. How could he actually do such a thing as burning bridges?"
Shen Ji, who was wearing formal attire, put his elbows on the table, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, then put down the goblet with a red eye.
My son was expelled for no reason, and the school didn't even see him, which was really annoying.
He has a close relationship with the school, but for this incident, the principal didn't even give him a reason!
"You should drink less. People from the Huo family will be here soon."
Ellie frowned and took away the wine glass in front of him. She also dressed up today. She sent someone to the store early in the morning to get the dress and jewelry she had ordered earlier, just to leave a good impression on Mr. Huo and facilitate the relationship between the two. Party cooperation.
As she said that, Ellie looked around with a little disappointment in her eyes.
Although it was a dinner party for many people rather than a meeting alone, it was enough to make her famous in front of the sisters in those circles.
Hearing the word 'Huo', Shen Ji's cloudy eyes were filled with bright vitality. He grabbed his wife's hand and murmured:
"Huo, Huo! Yes, I can't mess up today's project, please help me sort it out!"
Shen Ji smelled of alcohol and was in a hurry. Ellie smiled helplessly and stepped forward to help him straighten his tie.
The piano sound suddenly stopped, and there was a brief silence and blankness in the air.
Everyone seemed to feel something, and turned around and looked back, only to see two gorgeous and solemn doors slowly opening, and a group of people filed in.
Huo's people are here.
The Huo family invited the media to this dinner. After Huo Jingsen came in, he was immediately surrounded by reporters, and flashlights came and went, reflecting on his indifferent face.
The flashlight was extremely dazzling and unbearable for ordinary people. The man had a faint and alienated smile on his face and his eyes were unblinking, as if he was wearing a mask.
This smile was a completely different state that had never been shown in front of Leng Qingqing and Huo Yanheng.
Huo Jingsen has always been serious about his smile, and even the people closest to him rarely see his smile.
"Look, this is your father's other face. Isn't it fake?" Leng Qingqing took the opportunity and applied eye drops to Huo Yanheng.
Huo Yanheng, who was wearing a small suit and a bow tie, looked like an exquisite gift. He pursed his lips, stood on tiptoes, and looked at the crowd surrounding the center.
There were too many people, and with his height, he couldn't see anything.
He knew his father was there.
The clear and sweet piano sound almost sounded together with Huo Yanheng's voice.
"Dad is a person who does great things." This is the reason why Huo Jingsen, who is standing in the spotlight at this time, puts on a mask.
Hearing such explicit admiration and admiration, Leng Qingqing almost choked on the small cake she just stuffed into her mouth, and she drank a glass of cocktail for herself speechlessly.
"Why have I never seen you praise me and your mother?" His elbows turned outward.
As soon as the two entered the door, they sneaked to the corner. There was a dining table filled with various desserts, cakes, and drinks, which were enough to make their bellies full.
Also, it's so far away from the center that no one will disturb you.
Leng Qingqing stuffed a handful of chocolate brownies into Huo Yanheng's hands and urged: "Eat quickly, your father will nag you again if he sees it."
After saying that, he took the lead in stuffing two pieces into his mouth. He didn't forget to glance at him with his beautiful big eyes and said vaguely: "Eat quickly!"
For this 'buffet' that cost several thousand per person, Leng Qingqing didn't let the servants cook at night and made up his mind to eat from Boda.
In the end, Huo Yanheng couldn't be as rude as her. He lowered his eyes and handed the pastry to his lips, eating it in small bites without losing any crumbs, because he held it with his other hand the whole time.
Leng Qingqing had quickly wiped out the cakes in front of her and reached for the other side: "No one else has your eating looks like this. Who are you showing me when you eat so beautifully? Look at me!"
She opened her mouth, threw a piece of cake into her mouth with a serious expression, puffed up her cheeks and chewed hard.
Pointing his finger at his cheek: "Learn from me, food only tastes good if you eat it in big mouthfuls!"
Huo Yanheng hesitated for a moment, then handed the brownie in front of him to his mouth. Leng Qingqing saw the right moment and pushed it into his palm, and stuffed most of the brownie into his mouth.
"Hmm." Huo Yanheng opened his eyes slightly, staring at her with dark eyes, full of surprise.
Leng Qingqing added oil on the spot: "Big mouth, big mouth, eat!"
Huo Yanheng swallowed the big mouthful with difficulty, and drank half a cup of drink before he could hold it down.
Huo Yanheng: "Why don't we go there?"
Before getting off the bus, Dad told them not to run around when they came in. He would come to find them.
So Huo Yanheng thought it was better for them to go there alone to avoid their father looking for him again.
Naturally, Leng Qingqing couldn't say that she agreed to Huo Jingsen's visit just to have a meal.
Rolling her black eyes, she smiled and said, "As you just said, Dad is busy with big things, so we will have a good meal and leave after eating without delaying him."
Huo Yanheng seemed to understand, and was a little sad: "Are we just here to steal something?"
"It's not stealing." Leng Qingqing corrected him seriously: "We are eating openly!"
As a family member, what’s wrong with eating two snacks?
Huo Yanheng chased towards the main banquet hall with eyes reluctant to leave, but at this time there were people coming and going in the hall. There were countless men in black formal suits, and he quickly became dazzled.
"Secretary Xie, is Mr. Huo free now? Can you talk about the cooperation project?"
Shen Ji finally stopped one of Huo Jingsen's secretaries, rubbed his hands, and spoke cautiously.
The cold-faced Secretary Xie glanced at him lightly and actually called his name accurately.
"Mr. Shen Ji, I don't remember any projects that Huo Shen and his family are discussing."
Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, his expression a little stunned, but soon he snatched a stack of documents from the secretary behind him, handed them over, and said in an anxious tone.
"Secretary Xie, don't you remember? You personally finalized it with me some time ago. This is the cooperation project document! Do you want to take a look?"
Secretary Xie didn't even look at it. He gently opened the document in front of him with his fingers and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo never does business at a loss."
Double entendre.
"Who is this person? He comes out to run projects without even knowing Mr. Huo's temperament?"
"There are countless people who want to cooperate with Mr. Huo, but this is the first one to do so in this way."
"Hahaha, it's so funny."
"Ah...it seems to be Shen Ji from the Shen family. After his father retired, the Shen family was no better than before."
There were sneers and laughter all around, and Shen Ji seemed to be being burned on a fire, his face flushed with embarrassment.
"Please also make it clear that I don't know where I offended Mr. Huo?" Shen Ji's face was pale and pale, but he was still somewhat smart.
Xie Mi's eyes moved subtly, and he hooked his fingers. Shen Ji moved forward hesitantly, and his expression suddenly changed.
"This...how is it possible!" Shen Ji's eyes were full of disbelief.
Secretary Xie smiled slightly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ji looked dazed and staggered back, as if he had been hit hard: "How is this possible? It's actually..."
After Ellie touched up her makeup from the bathroom, she saw a familiar shadow within a few steps.
She stopped walking, thinking she was dazzled, and turned around to look for it. Her eyes instantly fixed on the corner of the banquet hall, where a white and graceful figure appeared.
Recognizing who the figure was, Ellie's eyes instantly narrowed, and her gaze was like a needle, piercing straight through.
The lights in the corner were dim, and the bosses from all parties were chatting in the main hall, exchanging business cards, and no one noticed the people on the fringes of the banquet.
What's more, Leng Qingqing was not dressed up at all. She only wore a white skirt, her black hair was disheveled, and her face was not pink and pink.
When Ellie recognized her, she was standing on tiptoes and pursed her lips to reach for the chocolate dessert on the top layer of the dessert tower that was as tall as a person.
Leng Qingqing is a chocolate head and can't control himself when he sees chocolate.
The lights dimmed slightly, and Leng Qingqing subconsciously looked at the stage where the lights were brightest. Huo Jingsen in a straight suit stood quietly on the stage, holding a microphone.
Next to Huo Jingsen stood Xuanyun, who was wearing a lot of grace. There was no way she wouldn't come on such an important day.
After two seconds of silence, Huo Jingsen spoke calmly.
"Everyone who arrived at the scene is Huo's closest business partner. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Huo's establishment, I would like to introduce my wife to everyone. She is also here today."
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew that Huo Jingsen had been married for several years, but they had never seen Mrs. Huo appear in public.
But today is a special day, so there is nothing wrong with introducing it.
Some people with sharp eyes noticed that Xuanyun's face changed slightly in an instant.
Xuanyun looked at her son, her eyes full of disapproval - you didn't discuss such an important matter with me in advance?
If Mrs. Lengqing Huo's identity was announced today, then the divorce would definitely have to be postponed.
This was naturally not what Xuanyun wanted to see. She subconsciously took a step forward, smiled and took the microphone in Huo Jingsen's hand naturally with a smile.
Huo Jingsen turned slightly sideways, avoiding her without leaving any trace, and faced his mother with his tall and silent body.
He opened his lips and his eyes fell accurately on a pure white figure behind the crowd, who was about to speak.
"Wow!"
An extremely clear roar made everyone look back in shock.
what's going on?
——The two-meter-high dessert tower that was originally placed in the center of the hall collapsed, and all the desserts and drinks fell down.
Standing under the dessert tower, Leng Qingqing naturally suffered.
The skirt, long hair, face covered with cake, and various colors make her look as funny as a clown.
Suddenly exposed to everyone's eyes, Leng Qingqing, who had become inexplicably conspicuous, still kept tiptoeing and reaching out.
However, among these gazes, one was the most scorching and sharp. It almost penetrated the air and burned a hole in the deserted cheek.
Leng Qingqing seemed to feel something, and slowly turned her head to look into a pair of black eyes on the stage.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes moved, and she grinned awkwardly.
Look at what I'm doing, I didn't do it on purpose.
