Chapter 630 - Opening of the National Banquet
This banquet appeared to be more mysterious and low-key, not widely publicized. Thus, ordinary citizens would not be able to sense the atmosphere, but the political and business world"s n.o.bles and dignitaries that were invited had long been preparing to partic.i.p.ate in this banquet. Cheng Liyue brought the little fellow to Xi Family early in the morning. As Gong Yexiao was unable to leave due to some matters with the company, he came to pick Cheng Liyue up at 3 o"clock in the afternoon. Cheng Liyue brought along two protective mother s who were with the little guy Gong Yuning since he was young into the Xi Family.
Right.
Cheng Liyue"s personal makeup artist had long arranged her evening dress, the jewelry handpiece, and all of her travel preparations for tonight.
All the Gift Shop s started to get busy. Other than the distinguished guests, they rejected all other daily transactions. The girls who came here tonight were all the ladies and mistresses from influential families. Pei Manlin was worried for tonight"s evening dress, she picked out three sets of evening clothes, but she was not sure if she should take note of them or not. In her heart, Xi FengHan was only showing a good impression of Yang Yun Ruo, tonight, she must step on Yang Yun Ruo, and try her best to show off in front of Xi FengHan.
He became the most dazzling existence in the entire arena.
Jian Xin was dressed in bodyguard clothing, a white s.h.i.+rt, a black suit that matched her figure, and black pants. Her long hair was tied up with a ponytail behind her head, and her figure was upright and slender.
"Jian Xin, you decide for me, which evening gown should I wear? Pei Manlin turned and commanded towards her.
Jian Xin glanced at it indifferently, and then pointed to the light blue one between her fingers, "This one is not bad."
"Alright, then I believe in your judgement. This item will do!" Pei Manlin gave her face.
When Master Pei helped her go abroad to protect her granddaughter, Jian Xin had managed to get her true ident.i.ty. At this moment, she could even enter the National Banquet without any hindrances.
Pei Manlin caressed the tuxedo that she left behind, her face full of antic.i.p.ation and longing. She fantasized about herself wearing this tuxedo, and the scene of her gracefully entering the stage was like a perfect female lead in a movie, becoming the focus of everyone"s attention.
As for Xi FengHan, this man who was as perfect as a prince, he would stand at a high place and bend down to be captivated by her. As he imagined his deep gaze looking at her in astonishment, Pei Manlin laughed in his dreams, just as blissful as he was.
She looked down at the clock. "It"s less than two hours before you enter. It"s time for me to dress up and go."
As Pei Manlin was putting on makeup, Jian Xin was sitting on the sofa behind her. She casually picked up a copy of the international political magazine, which was initially just to pa.s.s the time, but when she flipped to the first page, it was shockingly that man called Xi FengHan.
He was one of the world"s young leaders, counting his political achievements in detail. The bottom of the map was a recent photo of him sitting in the conference room, his eyes deep and focused on one place, his body exuding a powerful aura, as if it was filled with a great army and horses.
Jian Xin looked at it until she was in a daze. Even when Pei Manlin walked to her side after changing her makeup, she did not detect her presence.
Until a mocking laugh rang out, "Yo!" Even you are interested in your esteemed self! "
Jian Xin immediately closed the magazine on her hand, and her slightly panicking expression immediately calmed down, "I was just randomly reading."
"Who are you trying to trick!?" I just saw you turn this page and read it for a long time. "
"I... I didn"t. " On Jian Xin"s beautiful face, it was rare for her to have any different emotions.
Pei Manlin harrumphed in her heart, so what if she likes you? A girl like them didn"t even dare to have the luxury of being seen by Sir. Only a girl with a powerful background like her could enter Sir"s eyes and be liked by him.
As for the female lead, Yang Yun Ruo, tonight"s evening dress, was specially provided by the Royal Family"s designer. This honor was definitely something only she could enjoy, as the Royal Family"s designer clothes didn"t have such treatment for ordinary people.
Yang Yun Ruo was dressed in an elegant and dignified milky white evening dress, with her long hair tied up around the hair of the princess. The difference between mature and young, made her tonight"s fiancee"s ident.i.ty a perfect match.
The elders of the Yang family felt deeply honored for their daughter"s good fortune, and tonight was also the time for her to s.h.i.+ne, giving their daughter a thousand warnings, telling her not to lose her sense of propriety.
Yang Yun Ruo was rather relaxed. Although she was s.e.xy and docile, she had an even more determined will towards the things that she wanted.
Tonight, she was going on a different path. She was going to be the first lady of this country. When Gong Yexiao came to pick her up, Cheng Liyue did not allow him to enter the hall, because she had spent a lot of effort to coax her daughter not to stick to her. If she saw him, her daughter would not let him leave before half an hour had pa.s.sed.
When Gong Yexiao wanted to leave, he saw that his daughter"s wish had failed, but tonight, this woman was so beautiful that it made his heart throb. Just as he was about to get on the car, he impatiently pinched her soft white hands a few times, filling his stomach.
"Alright, hurry up and enter the banquet!" Tonight is a great day for my big brother, I don"t want to miss it. " Cheng Liyue said.
Gong Yexiao"s convoy immediately headed towards the scene of the national banquet. No one wanted to miss such an occasion. Pei Manlin held onto their grandfather"s arm, and by her side, Jian Xin"s chest was hung with an admission ticket, which was exclusive to the bodyguards. Under the protection of Pei Manlin"s luxurious evening dress, her figure was dark and gloomy.
He kept a low profile, but his clean and delicate face made it hard for people to look away.
As for Yang Yun Ruo, she was sent to a resting room backstage. As Xi FengHan would be announcing their relations.h.i.+p at the very beginning, she would be going on stage with him tonight.
In the direction of the car park, one of Zhan Xiyang"s mountain SUVs stopped. The man who sat behind the driver"s seat had a distracted expression on his face, so he didn"t chat with Zhan Xiyang for a while.
Zhan Xiyang turned his head and stared at him, "Where did you lose your soul these past few days?"
The handsome man"s starry eyes narrowed. "I fell in love in one day, and fell in love in one day. Are you saying that I"m not pitiful?"
"Are you talking about the girl you met on the plane? You called her and she didn"t answer? "
"Why don"t you tell me? Why does she keep hanging up on me? Am I really that unattractive? "
Zhan Xiyang was a little incompetent and threw a sentence at him, "In my entire life, I have never seen love before. If you ask me, how would I know? Isn"t there a saying that goes" a woman"s heart is a needle under the sea "? If you can"t see through it, don"t think too much. "
The man beside Zhan Xiyang was Ling Xi, the world had too many wonders. Ling Xi was his brother, whom Zhan Xiyang had beaten up and grew up with, and even though the Ling Xi family had the communication business from many countries around the world, his grandfather"s ident.i.ty was still of the same world.
So, this time, his grandfather brought him here to partic.i.p.ate.
"Erm, take off the earring! "Tonight you are all too old-fas.h.i.+oned, don"t embarra.s.s your grandfather." "Oh!" Ling Xi obediently took off the eardrill and placed it on the block, then followed Zhan Xiyang out of the car.
