The dance continued, Li Hua chatted happily with a few acquaintances, I was pulled aside by Du Yunqian: "Wow, Ruoqi, your boyfriend is so handsome! I heard from the crew that a handsome guy came to visit you when you were in Hong Kong Ben, came and left, is it him?"

"Well, it's him." When I got off the stage, I was dizzy all the time.

"That plane was also sent by him!"

"Um……"

"You are so happy, he loves you so much."

"Miss Du." Two elegantly dressed women came over.

Du Yunqian was still smiling, but that smile was obviously much more hypocritical than before: "Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Zhuang, long time no see."

The woman called Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on the "magnificent dream" on my neck: "This sapphire is really good in color, but unfortunately, I can't grab it from Mr. Ou."

Mrs. Zhuang answered: "Of course, Mr. Ou is beautiful, so he will spend a lot of money. Didn't Mr. Ji also take a picture of a calligraphy and painting?"

Mrs. Ji said: "The one in our family is not as romantic as Mr. Ou, and his appearance is even more incomparable."

Du Yunqian introduced to me that their husbands are real estate tycoons and retail tycoons respectively.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "A man is handsome and rich, how can he be trusted, and only a young, beautiful and talented girl like Miss Fang can be trusted."

Mrs. Ji responded: "Yes, I heard that Ms. Fang's book is very popular. I haven't had time to read it yet, but I often hear people talking about the most beautiful school belle. It's really worth seeing once."

They looked to be in their thirties, but their tone of voice was like that of a rich man's wives. They were so sour that I didn't bother to deal with them, so I just responded with a smile.

"Destiny!" Mrs. Zhuang suddenly called out to a woman not far away. I saw Du Yunqian's face darkened for a moment, but then he put on a brighter smile.

"Sister Xia." Du Yunqian called her that.

Destiny is different from many people present. She has neat short hair and an elegant black narrow skirt. She doesn't look much older than me, but her gestures are vigorous and capable.

"Hi," they all knew each other warmly, and then she said to me, "Hello, I'm Destiny, and the necklace suits you very well."

The Mandarin is not standard, the speed of speech is slightly fast, the tone is neither humble nor overbearing, an opening statement that is not perfect but impeccable.I smiled at her: "Thank you, I'm Fang Ruoqi."

"Destiny is Xia Yijun's younger sister and Du Yunqian's future sister-in-law." Mrs. Zhuang added, showing off in her tone.

It's no wonder that the Xia family's government is so powerful that many wealthy merchants want to cling to their family.Obviously, Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Ji were complacent because they had a good relationship with Miss Xia, but it was Miss Xia's "future sister-in-law" Du Yunqian who smirked.

Destiny did not respond to Mrs. Zhuang's introduction, but smiled and said to me: "Sorry, I have lived in the United States for many years, and I just came back. I don't speak Mandarin very well."

"Destiny, the C family's new series will be launched soon. I heard that there will be an internal display party tomorrow. Do you want to participate?" Mrs. Zhuang asked.

"Yes, I have a good relationship with the regional president of their family, and it's okay if you want to come."

"Really?! That would be great!"

"Yunqian, are you coming?" Destiny asked.

I thought Du Yunqian would refuse, but she agreed straight away: "Come on. Ruoqi, come too!"

I was surprised that Du Yunqian would pull me up.I have always had a good relationship with her. Although she is young and of noble birth, she has no arrogance or arrogance.She should have discovered that Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Ji were not kind to me. With her style, there is no reason to force me into it.

"Let's have fun together, maybe there are limited editions that are hard to buy outside." Destiny's invitation was neither perfunctory nor overly enthusiastic, so it seemed very sincere, and the two wives at the side looked at each other knowingly, full of disdain .

Before I could speak, Du Yunqian grabbed my hand, her talking eyes were full of helplessness and pleading.

The words of refusal were swallowed hard, and I replied with a wry smile, "Okay, okay."

When I was leaving the ball, I ran into the Du brothers and sisters at the door again. Du Yunqian pulled me aside and whispered.

"Ruoqi, I'm sorry, I know you don't want to go tomorrow, but can you go with me?" She begged in a low voice.

My heart is full of doubts, but this is not a good time to confess my heart, so I comforted her and said: "Okay, I have agreed, so don't think too much about it, see you tomorrow."

"Oye! Ruoqi, you are the best!" She happily rushed over to hug me.

Li Hua looked at us indulgently, and even the stern Du Sichen showed a faint smile.

Sitting in the car with Li Hua, I was thinking about Du Yunqian and worrying about tomorrow's party.

"What's wrong?" Li Hua held my hand and put it on his lap, "Is there something on your mind?"

"Do you know Destiny Xia?"

"Xia Yijun's younger sister?"

"Yes, she was invited to the internal party of C's new series tomorrow, and invited several wives at the ball, as well as me and Du Yunqian."

"If you don't want to go, don't go."

"I don't really want to go, those wives don't like me, and I don't like them either," I said bluntly, "But Du Yunqian wants me to go with her...I heard that Destiny is Du Sichen's fiancée?"

Li Hua didn't seem to know, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but his tone was still very flat: "Xia Yijun has always been the first choice for the marriages of the big families, but he himself has no interest. Now that Destiny has returned to China, he has naturally become their new target. After Du Sichen inherited the Du family, the Du family became stronger and stronger, and the marriage between the two families is a win-win."

"Are you familiar with the Xia family?"

"I'm very familiar with Xia Yijun, and it's the first time I've seen Destiny today."

A wild idea suddenly popped up in my mind: "If you and the Xia family..."

"Ruoqi," he interrupted without even giving me a chance to express his thoughts, "career and family are equally important to me, and I will not trade marriage for career. I need you to compromise for me to please anyone, you just need to be yourself."

My mood is very complicated, and I don't know what to say for a while.

He sighed: "Don't think about it."

I said frankly: "Although most of those wives don't work and have nothing to do, most of them come from famous families. It's normal for them to look down on me. I don't want to be an 'Internet celebrity', but in the eyes of others, I am an 'Internet celebrity'. Everyone's prejudice against 'Internet celebrities' is also deeply ingrained. I have become numb to these in the past few years, but I can't help but care what they think of you."

"You graduated from a key university, have good foreign language skills, and have a high level of talent. Your parents are intellectuals, and the family atmosphere is harmonious. You are beautiful, cheerful and generous, and have sound three views. You have Hobby, and turned it into a successful business. I don't think you are any worse than them."

Most successful businessmen have excellent eloquence, and Li Hua is one of the best. He knows what kind of words the other party likes to hear, and he can hit the nail on the head every time.

It was melancholy, but the last word and sentence became coquettish: "But what's the use of these, you are so busy with work, but I can't help you with anything."

""Encounter" will be released next week. How much money do you think you can make for me?"

"This kind of low-budget romance movie, how much money can you make... You can just give me a necklace and it will be gone." I said this, but my heart was already coaxed by him.

"Whatever?" He raised an eyebrow.

"No, no," I said in an exaggerated tone, "it's not casual at all, it's well-intentioned."

He couldn't help laughing: "That's not the case."

"Hey, why don't you do it this way? If you don't have to bring your company colleagues for entertainment in the future, you can take me with you."

"Okay, as long as you want."

"Then tell me, what should I wear on such an occasion tomorrow? It's too late to buy clothes now."

He thought for a moment and said, "The night I went to your house for the first time, it was fine."

"Oh, so you like that."

"I'm just saying that's more appropriate."

"Then what do you like me to wear?"

He leaned close to my ear and whispered two words: "No."

"Rogue!" I pushed him away and said angrily, "You haven't seen it!"

"Believe me, men are gifted with imagination in this area."

He was clearly well-dressed, but he smiled incomprehensibly. I gritted my teeth and said, "Ou Kaihua, do you know that there are four words that describe you that are particularly appropriate? —— Sanctimonious!"

"Thank you," he imitated me abominably, calling me by my pseudonym completely, "Young Hua Ruo Qi, as a popular writer, I believe you have no less imaginative ability."

I looked away from the window and pretended I didn't hear anything.

The first time I saw his perfect body coming out of the swimming pool, I could make up a whole porn movie in my head, how could I say such a thing?
