Don't chase me, it doesn't work

On September [-]th, Jiang Youqing, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, invited the third daughter Jiang Yaling to be the partner of the first dance at the birthday party.

Miss Jiang was wearing the most beautiful red dress. The hand outstretched in mid-air was well-defined, narrow and slender, as perfect as a sacred sculpture.Standing in front of Jiang Yaling, she had a graceful demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, and her temperament was not inferior to this fake daughter who had been raised by a wealthy family for 24 years.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, all of them were surprised.

The real eldest lady of the Jiang family invited the third lady who had occupied the magpie's nest to be the partner of the first dance. What was she thinking?Is she showing her kindness to the third lady, or is she always like this, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly?

Everyone had different thoughts, Jiang Yaling was the most confused one, she looked at Tao Youqing as if she was looking at a lunatic.

Why did Tao Youqing invite her to her first dance in full view?

Is Tao Youqing crazy? !

She didn't respond to her, but Tao Youqing didn't give her the right to refuse. The hand directly held her hand, helped her take out the wine glass in her hand, and handed it to the person standing beside her without looking at it. Jiang Qiuyang, Jiang Qiuyang caught it quickly, but also didn't realize what happened.

"You won't refuse." Tao Youqing smiled and took her hand.

Everyone's eyes are concentrated on them, paying close attention to their every move.

——Because you can't refuse.

Jiang Yaling finally found out that Tao Youqing had come prepared, she never thought of giving her the chance to refuse from the very beginning!As long as she rejects her, everyone present will feel that she, the third miss, is narrow-minded and prejudiced against the magnanimous young lady, even Jiang Haiming and his wife may think so.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Jiang Yaling's eyes, how Tao Youqing was waiting for her here!She forced a smile and responded, "Of course, of course I won't refuse you."

"That's good." Tao Youqing said with a chuckle, and led her to the center of the dance floor.

In fact, Tao Youqing wanted to choose Yuan Churui as her dance partner at the beginning. This idea was based on her own heart, without any external influence. She could feel more at ease with Yuan Churui.

But after Jiang Qiuyang told her the commercial significance of the first dance of the rich young masters, she dismissed the idea. Behind Yuan Churui represents the Yuan family. She can't drag Yuan into the water just because of a paper agreement. That would be unfair to Yuan Churui. .

In the end, she decided to choose someone from Jiang's family as her dance partner, because she didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Haiming and his wife.Although Jiang Haiming and his wife told her to choose boldly with confidence, the commercial impact after that will be borne by Jiang Haiming and his wife, and neither wind nor rain will fall on her head.So before she didn't understand the relationship between the Jiang family and other companies, she would not lightly ignore Jiang Haiming and his wife on such a grand occasion.

They love her, and she must be worthy of their love.

And just when she was struggling, Song Wen brought the criticism of her from outside, which gave her a more accurate understanding of what her real daughter looked like in other people's mouths, and she also knew how many people were waiting to see her A joke with Jiang Yaling.

Then she learned from Jiang Qiuyang that she could choose to dance with her own family, a subtle idea was born, and an opportunity to hit Jiang Yaling came quietly—she would not let go of any chance to hit Jiang Yaling.

The melodious and elegant dance music sounded softly, wafting through every corner of the hall.Tao Youqing's hand rested on Jiang Yaling's back calmly, naturally playing the leading role. She watched Jiang Yaling gritted her teeth with a smile on her face, put her hand on her shoulder stiffly, her eyes The word "uncomfortable" is clearly written in it.

Very good, Jiang Yaling is upset, she is happy.

"You did it on purpose." Jiang Yaling whispered.

Tao Youqing smiled openly and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose, what can you do with me?"

Jiang Yaling was led by her to blend with the dance music. In order not to be embarrassing in public, Jiang Yaling paid attention to her dance steps, and the light pink skirt cut a crescent moon in the air.

Tao Youqing smiled calmly and asked, "How is it? Does it feel good to be held in someone's hands and helpless?"

Just like she did back then, being forced to retire by Zhou Yirou, she had no choice but to be like an ant who could do whatever she wanted.

A random phone call can decide other people's future. She, Jiang Yaling, must really enjoy this feeling of being able to control people's fate at will, right?

Then she must let her taste the feeling of another position today, she is in her hands now, under the eyes of everyone, can she leave?Can she get mad at her?Can she turn her down?

She can't, that's what it feels like to be powerless.

"Tao Youqing, if your parents know that you did it on purpose—"

Tao Youqing suddenly tightened the strength of her hand, pushed her towards her, interrupted her without hesitation, looked down at her frightened eyes, corrected her gently with a smile: "Jiang."

"The one named Tao is you."

Then Tao Youqing patted her on the back lightly: "You have a better expression, so many people are watching, how embarrassing."

Jiang Yaling was full of resentment, Tao Youqing deliberately threatened her and forced her to smile, what kind of robbery is this? !The most angry thing is that she can only follow suit, otherwise she will be the one who will lose face!

Jiang Yaling was forced to squeeze out a business smile, and stared at her viciously: "What on earth do you want to do now!"

"Tao Yaling, I'm curious about one thing." Tao Youqing skipped her words very naturally, "I am the real eldest lady of the Jiang family. Praise you as a fake?"

Jiang Yaling was taken aback when she heard the words.

How did she know?

Tao Youqing continued: "Let me guess, is it because they feel that they are not qualified to dance in front of the eldest lady, but they are greedy for the Jiang family's connections, so they just praise you?" She bent her eyes and smiled, "Then It seems that they feel that you are not as good as me from the bottom of their hearts."

"You!" Jiang Yaling was angry.

"Tao Yaling," Tao Youqing smiled, speaking naturally and confidently, "Am I pretty?"

Jiang Yaling glared at her, but saw her slightly lift her chin, the silver crown on her head shone like stars under the light, as dazzling as her face.Her face was God's creation, even a slight lift of her chin was full of perfection, making it impossible to move her eyes away.

——Undeniable beauty.

Jiang Yaling was dumbfounded for a moment, and the crowd around her had already started to stir, and they started whispering to each other, praising Tao Youqing's beauty in low voices.Innate nobility, incomparable beauty, a real rose.

"Don't you know?" Tao Youqing raised her eyebrows, "Then I'll take you to listen to what others have to say."

Jiang Yaling's eyes widened, and Tao Youqing led her to the edge of the dance floor in the next second.

The flamboyant and flamboyant red dress passed everyone's eyes, like a warmly blooming rose, easily grabbing everyone's attention and becoming the focus of the dance floor and the center of the world.Compared with her delicate and flamboyant beauty, Jiang Yaling, who was wearing a light pink dress, looked ordinary and without any characteristics.

Jiang Yaling clearly heard the voices of praise floating into her ears in twos and threes, "You have a bearing", "You have a good temperament", and "You are so beautiful" were all talking about Tao Youqing!

Tao Youqing won the appreciation of others so easily!Jiang Yaling is inevitably jealous and unwilling, beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but also easy to be envied by others.

"Bunnies, mice wearing dragon robes." Tao Youqing counted lightly, and she became nervous every time she said Jiang Yaling. Tao Youqing didn't look at her, and said, "You are actually quite happy to hear people say that about me, right?" ? But do you think anyone will say those words to you after tonight?"

The dance music came to an end.

"You have to know what you are doing, understand?" Tao Youqing said as she tapped her back twice with her fingertips, and then ended with a neat and beautiful movement. The first dance successfully won the applause of everyone.

She thanked everyone generously, Jiang Yaling reluctantly followed, and after returning to her original position, Jiang Yaling quickly withdrew her hand, only to feel that dancing with her would make most of her three souls and seven souls disappear, and she was also humiliated!

Jiang Haiming and his wife continued to lead the guests through the process in an orderly manner, and couples of glamorous men and women entered the dance floor one after another.Tao Youqing and the two made a good start, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very good.

Jiang Yaling angrily snatched the wine glass from Jiang Qiuyang's hand, and Tao Youqing felt extremely happy seeing her angry.

Jiang Qiuyang confusedly followed Tao Youqing's footsteps and asked, "Sister, why are you?"

Tao Youqing replied, "Of course it is to prolong life."

Jiang Yaling's anger is good for her mood, and it will naturally prolong her life.But she was mainly thinking about Jiang Haiming and his wife, and earning a reputation by the way. Jiang Yaling had been in the Jiang family longer than her, and the outside world only remembered Jiang Yaling. Of course, she wanted to take this opportunity to do something.

It can not only protect Jiang Haiming and his wife from commercial influence, but also make Jiang Yaling angry, and let her have a good reputation in the hearts of the public, so why not do it?

This is also the concept she learned from Yuan Churui, to be a smarter person, to be able to use the identity and resources that should be used must not be soft.

But speaking of Yuan Churui

She turned her head to look in Yuan Churui's direction, but found that there was only Huo Mingen left there. Yuan Churui didn't know where she went, and she couldn't find Yuan Churui's figure when she looked around the audience, she felt strange in her heart.

You were still there just now, where did you go?

"Qingqing." Jiang Haiming called her behind her and waved to her, "Come to Dad."

As soon as Tao Youqing turned her head, she saw a few handsome figures standing beside Jiang Haiming and his wife. She immediately understood what Jiang Haiming meant, but she couldn't help but glance at Yuan Churui's position again, thinking to herself: I probably made a phone call. Well, after all, he is also the chairman of the board. I don’t know when he will be busy.

Thinking of this, she turned around and walked towards Jiang Haiming with her skirt lifted.

It's okay, Yuan Churui will definitely be back in a while.

Yuan Churui was sitting alone on the large balcony on the second floor looking at the scenery, holding a long and thin cigarette between his fingers, and the orange-red light was engulfing the smoke bit by bit.The night wind blows gently under the robe, and the icy autumn feeling falls on the skin.

This is a very unique and comfortable viewing platform. No one will come here at this time, and it is perfect for being alone.She raised her eyes, there was no moon tonight, the sky was full of bright stars, flashing and bright, just like the light refracted by the crown Tao Youqing wore on her head.

Tao Youqing She likes Tao Youqing.

She is not a person who likes to be entangled. This habit was developed in the financial circle. Many times, if she hesitates, she will miss good opportunities and even lose money.So after she found out that she liked Tao Youqing and confirmed the matter, she didn't worry too much, and quickly admitted it.

Continuing to like or dislike, in her opinion, are such two simple choices, she decisively chose the former.

She likes the way Tao Youqing treats her purely, likes Tao Youqing's dependence on her, and also likes the way Tao Youqing longs for her to praise her every time, it's indescribably cute.

Since she likes it, she should go after her. She won't find a substitute like that idiot Zhou Yirou. What's the point of a substitute?

But she never expected that Tao Youqing would choose Jiang Yaling instead of her as her partner for the first dance!

Even if she guessed that she had her own plans, she couldn't help being unhappy about it.She came here specially to act as her girlfriend in front of Jiang Yaling and Zhou Yirou, but she left her girlfriend without saying hello and chose someone else as a dance partner. What kind of girlfriend would do that? ? ?

Although they are acting, they still need to be more dedicated. Let her know in advance, right? !

Yuan Churui bit the cigarette lightly, thinking about how to get Tao Youqing to pay her back today's bills in the future, let her remember the lesson, and dare not leave her alone in the future just work.

Then she lightly opened her red lips and exhaled lingering smoke, her eyes were hidden behind the misty smoke, revealing a somewhat charming depth.

No, what she should do now is to think about how to make her like her.Just for today's matter, 1000 and [-] million, she, Tao Youqing, don't want to escape.

But how to make a narcissistic king like himself is a headache.Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt that what Tao Youqing said before was right, if only she had met Zhou Yirou instead of Zhou Yirou.Zhou Yirou really took the lead back then, but she was stupid, didn't know how to cherish it, and made her suffer so badly.

She breathed out a puff of smoke in boredom, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, like the "da da" sound of high heels stepping on the ground, gradually approaching her, one after another, the owner of the footsteps seemed to be in a hurry.

She turned around and looked back, and saw a head poking out quietly from the door, the crown was shining with a silvery luster, and that person's face was as white and delicate as ever.

After Tao Youqing saw her, a bright smile appeared on her face: "You are really here!" Then she lifted her skirt and walked over, swaying slowly on the viewing platform, brushing the stone carving with her long fingers Railing, sighed, "So Aurora still has a balcony like this."

Although Aurora is an enterprise owned by the Jiang family, she hasn't had the chance to stay in the hotel yet, so she doesn't know the internal structure of the hotel.If it weren't for Huo Mingen to show her the way, she might not be able to find Yuan Churui after wandering around in the aurora for a long time.

"Well, yes." Yuan Churui crossed her legs and sat steadily, but her eyes followed her figure unconsciously, and said patiently, "There are auroras all over the country."

She has lived in Aurora many times during her business trips across the country, and she already knows the internal structure like the back of her hand.

Tao Youqing gave a clear "oh", turned around and walked towards her, pointed to the cigarette in her hand, and said, "Pinch it off." Then he said, "Why did you come here to smoke secretly?"

Yuan Churui corrected her: "It's not secretly, it's aboveboard."

Tao Youqing stared at her tightly without speaking, as if she would not stop talking to her until she put out the cigarette today.

Yuan Churui surrendered, and obediently pressed the cigarette into the ashtray to extinguish it, which brought her a smile.Yuan Churui felt helpless for a while, and asked softly, "Why are you here? You are the protagonist today, so why don't you just stay here?"

Tao Youqing said with a relaxed face: "Okay, I told my parents that I was a little bored and wanted to go out for a walk, and they agreed to let me go back later."

She happily sat down on another chair: "So I came to look for our little Yuan Dong."

Yuan Churui nodded lightly, um, yes, she knew to come to her.

Tao Youqing tidied up the hem of the gauze skirt, then propped her chin, looked at her with bright eyes, and asked, "Am I doing well today? Don't you think about complimenting me?"

Yuan Churui suddenly had a feeling that which pot was not opened and which pot was to be lifted. She held the cigarette case in her hand and played with it, and replied with a smile: "Some are good, some are not, and if you want to praise, you can only praise half of it."

Tao Youqing said brazenly: "That's fine, then you can praise the other half first, I'll take it all, something is better than nothing."

Yuan Churui laughed angrily at her thick skin, turned to look at her and asked, "You like me so much and I praise you? Why?"

To be honest, she hoped that the answer she heard next could at least show that she had a different position in her heart.

Tao Youqing asked in a natural tone: "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like being praised? Is there anyone else who doesn't like being praised by Xiao Yuan Dong?"

Okay, it doesn't sound like I feel special at all.

Yuan Churui said "Oh", and said half-jokingly: "I'm not Xiao Yuan Dong, so you don't want to hear me praise you."

To put it bluntly, she also wants her approval because she stands tall enough, which is not special at all.

Tao Youqing tilted her head, and said softly and seriously: "No, I just like you——Yuan Churui praised me."

"Xiao Yuan Dong" is just her nickname and a symbol of her status. She likes to be praised by her because she is Yuan Churui, the irreplaceable Yuan Churui in her heart.Otherwise, why didn't she like Dong Yuan and Jiang Dong to praise her?

When she said this, she deliberately replaced the reference of "you" with Yuan Churui's name, which almost suffocated Yuan Churui to death.

"I like you" and "I like you complimenting me" are two different things.

But no matter what, at least it proved that she was different from others in her heart.

Yuan Churui's mood improved a little, and she finally praised her under her expectant eyes: "You were able to behave calmly and gracefully in front of so many people in the industry today. You did a good job. I am happy for you."

From the little girl whose hands were shaking because of nervousness when she just returned to the stage, to the little princess who can stand on the stage calmly and gracefully facing the seniors, Yuan Churui admits that she has made rapid progress and worked hard .

She deserves a compliment, whoever it is.

Tao Youqing immediately beamed with joy. Although Yuan Churui boasted well-behaved words and didn't have gorgeous and moving words, after they came out of her mouth, these words seemed to be plated with gold, which made people feel happy when they heard it, because "Yuan Churui" Three words will automatically sound buff.

"But," Yuan Churui changed the subject, "Why did you choose Tao Yaling as the partner for the first dance?"

Why not choose me?

Don't you ever think of me as your dance partner at all?

Yuan Churui endured it, and didn't say this sentence, because this sentence was too embarrassing, and it seemed like she was admitting defeat when she said it - she hasn't teased her yet, how can she admit defeat!

Tao Youqing got up and walked to the carved stone railing, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said, "Because I don't think it's appropriate to choose someone other than Jiang's family. I don't know about my parents' business dealings, and I don't know who is with Jiang. Hello everyone, whoever is cooperating with the Jiang family recently, and who is observing our Jiang family, wouldn’t it be a disaster if I choose the wrong one?”

Tao Youqing turned around, leaned her waist on the stone railing, and said frankly: "I actually wanted to choose you at the beginning, but after I thought about it later, we were just a contractual relationship, not a real love relationship, and behind you is Yuan Yuan. Shi, I can't drag Yuan Shi under the noses of so many people without authorization because of an agreement, that's cheating you."

Yuan Churui was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect her to think so much for her, and most of the depression in her heart dissipated immediately.Well, not bad, and know how to think for her.

Tao Youqing continued: "Afterwards, I heard others say that I am not good, that I am not as good as Tao Yaling, that I must be ignorant and stingy, so why don't I take this opportunity to hit her and earn me a good reputation?" ?”

She flicked her long hair proudly: "Is this fairy comparable to Tao Yaling? Can't they see it when we stand together?"

When she followed Jiang Haiming and his wife to meet those elders, they praised her very much.As it turned out, she won.

"Very smart." Yuan Churui said these three words.

Knowing how to play it safe and not mess with your parents without understanding all the business partnerships is really a smart thing to do.

And she was unhappy at the time because she was tempted.If she likes her, it means that she is willing to do something for her.But when she was ready to give, she left her, which made her feel bad.

But it doesn't matter now, because she used to be her first choice, but had to give up for some reason-she accepted this explanation.

Tao Youqing's eyes were squinted: "This is the other half, right? Then, did I perform well in this banquet as a whole?"

Yuan Churui nodded lightly: "Well, everything is fine."

Tao Youqing immediately applauded for herself: "As expected of me!"

Seeing her happy look, Yuan Churui suddenly thought of something and said, "I brought you a gift." Then he called Huo Mingen and asked him to bring it.

Huo Mingen delivered it neatly and then went back. He was very discerning and never disturbed the boss's private time.

Tao Youqing took the small black gift bag she handed over, looked at her and then at the gift, and asked, "Can I open it now?"

Yuan Churui leaned against the stone railing next to her, raised her chin: "Open it."

Tao Youqing carefully opened the lid of the exquisite gift box, her eyes lit up slightly - it was a delicately crafted silver star bracelet.

The bracelet looked stunning on her slender, fair wrist.She likes this gift very much, but at this moment, she has to say a few words: "I thought Chairman Yuan would give some shocking and special gift."

Yuan Churui leaned against the stone railing and looked sideways at her.

While admiring her new bracelet, she said confidently: "You yourself said that you only accept special gifts. Look at what I gave you. How special it is!"

Fairy Tao: That is the exclusive selfie of the fairy, the only one in the world!

Yuan Churui thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then do you want to receive another special birthday gift?"

Tao Youqing looked at her curiously: "Anything else? Is it special? Is it the only one in the world?"

Yuan Churui replied: "Well, there is, the only one in the world."

Tao Youqing's appetite was whetted by her, and she said enthusiastically, "Hurry up, let Secretary Huo bring it up for me to see, and open my eyes!"

She wanted to see what a rich man like Yuan Churui called "the only gift in the world"!

"Not with Secretary Huo," Yuan Churui said calmly, "with me."

Tao Youqing: "What—"

Yuan Churui suddenly leaned towards her, gently and tenderly——

Kissed her lips.
