He"s not coming
She didn"t want to embarra.s.s Ouyang Family, so the afternoon of the previous day, she went to Gift Shop and picked out an evening gown to attend. Gong Yuze accompanied her and gifted her a set of jewelry, which was quite expensive.
Ji Anning knew that his family was rich enough to not care about the amount of money. As long as she liked it, he would not hesitate to help her.
In the blink of an eye, they had waited for the second day to arrive. While they were busy, it was already 3 in the afternoon. Gong Yuze brought Ji Anning and set off.
In the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, in front of the huge circular window, Ji Tianci held one hand in his pocket and looked at the scenery in the distance. He had been hesitating on whether or not he should partic.i.p.ate in this banquet.
But now, when he thought about it carefully, this was a banquet that was convened by the Ouyang Family, even if he did not have to go, it would not be lacking etiquette.
Moreover, the people from the Ouyang Family might not even welcome him there.
Ouyang Mengyue had been waiting for Ji Anning in her room the entire time. When she came up, Ji Anning was holding her dress and the two girls were in the room dressing each other up.
Gong Yuze sat in the hall and drank tea and chatted with Ouyang Burong.
"Why didn"t you let Young Master Ji come along?"
"He said he"d go over later." Gong Yuze held onto his teacup and took a sip, and at that moment, his phone on the table rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Ji Tianci, and then spoke to Ouyang Burong, "I want to pick up a call." "Go on!" Ouyang Burong smiled, he had never thought that he would be engaged in a marriage with the Gong Family. In the business world, this family had the strongest relations.h.i.+p, furthermore, he had vaguely heard that the Gong Family and Haotian"s Royal Family had a close relations.h.i.+p.
They were worried that when the family declined, they would be able to continue to flourish, and the descendants of the Gong family would be called geniuses.
Gong Yuze walked into the hall with his mobile phone, and picked it up from the garden, "h.e.l.lo, Brother Tian Ci."
"Yuze, help me tell your future father-in-law that I have matters to attend to tonight, so I won"t be going over." Ji Tianci"s voice sounded from the other side.
Gong Yuze was a little disappointed, but he could not force himself to do this kind of thing. He replied, "Alright, I will tell him."
"Hm!" "Then you guys have a good time, I"ll hang up first." With that, Ji Tianci hung up.
Gong Yuze kept the phone and went back to the hall. He spoke to Ouyang Burong and Ouyang Burong, which was a pity, he really wanted Ji Tianci to attend the banquet so that the enmity between the two families could be resolved. However, Ji Tianci rejected him.
In the room, Ouyang Mengyue had already changed into evening attire, the light gold fish-tailed coat was worn on her body, it was extremely beautiful. Her long hair was tied up on her forehead with a strand of hair, behind her head was a pearl hair.
"Xiao Yue, you look really beautiful tonight. You will definitely charm many men." Ji Anning praised her with a smile.
A hint of shyness flashed across Ouyang Mengyue"s eyes, and she secretly looked forward to it. She really didn"t need a lot of men to look at her and like her, as long as one could notice how beautiful she was today.
Ji Anning was wearing a rather expensive bright evening dress. It had three days to it, a three-dimensional design that fit perfectly to the waist, as if it was made for her. The design of the collar made her neck look as elegant as a swan, which was extremely enchanting.
Ouyang Mengyue laughed as she sized her up, "Big sister, this evening gown is so beautiful, I"m afraid that brother-in-law won"t even dare to look away tonight!"
Ji Anning snorted, "How could it be so exaggerated?"
"I think so. He definitely won"t allow other men to look at you."
Just as he was speaking, a knock came from outside. Ji Anning walked up and opened the door, who else could it be but Gong Yuze?
"Why did you come up?" Under his scorching gaze, Ji Anning"s beautiful face became slightly hot.
"I came up to inform you that your big brother might not be able to come tonight because of something." After Gong Yuze finished speaking, he clearly felt from the corner of his eyes that Ouyang Mengyue"s expression had changed slightly.
"Is there something important he can"t come to?" Ouyang Mengyue could not help but ask anxiously.
"He didn"t say. He just called me. I think there"s something important." Gong Yuze said, then turned to Ji Anning and asked, "Are you all dressed yet? We"ll be leaving in a while. "
"Yes, we are all ready." Ji Anning nodded. He reached out and caressed a strand of hair by her ear gently, "Very beautiful."
"Sis, brother-in-law, you two leave first!" I need to get some more stuff, I... I"ll go downstairs in a minute. " Ouyang Mengyue said to them.
"Good!" Let"s go down and chat. It"s still early anyway, so there"s no rush. " After Ji Anning finished speaking, he held Gong Yuze"s hand and walked him downstairs.
Closing the door, Ouyang Mengyue"s face instantly turned pale white. She bit her lips and her body trembled a little, as if what she had been working on for half a day had suddenly become meaningless.
He didn"t come, he actually didn"t come? Why not? The reason was obvious just by thinking about it.
He didn"t like the people of the Ouyang Family, and she happened to be one of them. Ouyang Mengyue held onto the evening gown on his chest, and stood in front of the mirror.
Tears welled up uncontrollably from her eyes. She raised her head slightly and took a deep breath, then picked up the phone on the table. She did not think too much and still found Ji Tianci"s number and pulled it out.
She wanted to know, just what was the important thing that made him refuse to come to this banquet?
Of course, Ji Tianci didn"t have anything important to do at the moment. He was reading the news at the hotel when his phone, which was placed beside the sofa, suddenly rang.
When the ringtone came to an end, he did not reject it completely. He picked up the phone and picked it up, "h.e.l.lo!"
"Why don"t you come to my party? You clearly promised me tomorrow. " On the other side, was Ouyang Mengyue"s questioning voice.
Ji Tianci gave a light sigh, "I have something that I need, so I can"t come." What do you want? What is so important that you have to do it tonight? You just don"t want to come? You don"t want to see my family, and even more so, you don"t want to see me? " Ouyang Mengyue held onto her phone, unable to control her thoughts, he called the number.
He left after a few questions.
"You … Why do you think that? " Ji Tianci frowned. I hope you can come. " Ouyang Mengyue"s voice had a hint of pleading.
