In the next few days, the two of them deliberately avoided the conversation that night and became respectful to each other. Xia Tong was uncomfortable with it at first, but finally began to accept it happily.
Isn't this kind of result what she originally hoped for? If he can't give up for her, then separation is the best choice for the two of them.
Unknowingly, it was the weekend cocktail party, and Xia Tong got the most outstanding simple and elegant wedding dress in the 'forever' series during the day.
And tonight, she will wear this dress and attend the celebration banquet with Qin Muzhen.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Tong changed into her wedding dress, put on her makeup, and made all preparations, waiting for Qin Mujie to come home from get off work. But after waiting for two full hours, he didn't come back.
Xia Tong became anxious. The celebration party would start at seven o'clock. If he didn't come back, she might be late.
After waiting patiently for another fifteen minutes, she finally couldn't wait any longer and decided to call Qin Muzhen, but her phone rang. It was Gu Haoran.
"Xia Tong, where are you now?" he asked.
"I haven't set off yet."
"What? You haven't set off yet?" He asked, "Where are you? I'll pick you up?"
"No, no, no..." Xia Tong said, "There's no time to pick her up now, I can just go there myself."
Xia Tong couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to hail a car and go to the reception, and then call Qin Muxue to ask what happened?
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the villa, she saw a black business car approaching, and Nie Sheng got out of the car.
"Something happened to Mr. Mu. He asked me to take Miss Xia to the Sofitel Hotel first. He will be there in a moment."
"Excuse me." Xia Tong got into the car and asked, "What happened to him?"
"It's a small matter in the company. It's just some old shareholders making trouble. Mr. Mu needs to solve it. Miss Xia doesn't have to worry."
Nie Sheng's original intention was to reassure Xia Tong, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect. Xia Tong sat on the passenger seat next to him and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window without saying anything.
It turns out that a 'little thing' in the company is more important than her 'forever' celebration party. Before, she was like a fool hoping that he would give up the imperial promotion for her. It was really wishful thinking.
******* ********
More than half an hour later, the car arrived at the Sofitel Hotel, and finally there was no danger. Gu Haoran stood at the door, took her out of the car door, and asked, "Where is Qin Muxuan?"
"He had something to do and didn't come."
Gu Haoran's eyes were a little solemn: "Then can you do it alone?"
Xia Tong patted his chest: "It should be fine."
He shook his head and looked helpless: "It's because of you that I don't worry. Anyway, just wait for me. Don't panic if anything happens. Just calm down. Those reporters are just chasing rumors and rarely have concrete information."
As long as you refuse to admit the evidence, there will be no problem."
"Uh-huh..." Xia Tong nodded heavily.
Entering the venue, it was already filled with people wearing fragrant clothes and smiling faces. Xia Tong glanced around and saw that there were at least twice as many reporters today than at the press conference that day. It must have been that after her identity as Mrs. Qin was exposed, she attracted a lot of people.
More eyeballs paying attention will produce such an effect.
As soon as she entered the hall, countless flashlights came on. She held Gu Haoran's arm and nodded with a smile.
The reception went smoothly at the beginning, with models showing on the catwalk, cutting cakes, and celebrating with champagne... the atmosphere soon reached a climax...
But what followed was the question from reporters with malicious intentions who had been waiting for a long time: "I wonder why Mr. Qin didn't accompany his wife to the reception today? Instead, Mr. Gu was the male companion? Is it Qin?"
What problems have arisen in the marriage between the young master and Miss Xia?"
Xia Tong smiled calmly: "No, it's just that something happened to Di Sheng, and Mu Jue needs to deal with it. He will come after he has finished dealing with it..."
"Oh? Really?" Another reporter said: "But how did I hear that Miss Xia did not actually live in Master Qin's Huyuan Villa during the design of Forever, but lived in a high-end hotel called West Lake Bijing?
In the community. And according to the investigation, the owner of this apartment is your boss-Mr. Gu Haoran. I wonder if Miss Xia can give an explanation?"
"I..." Xia Tong paused. She didn't expect these reporters to find out about this?
Some reporters boldly speculated: "Maybe the reason why Mr. Qin did not appear at the reception today is because there is a problem in his marriage with Miss Xia. And the fuse of this problem is because of the dispute between Miss Xia and Mr. Gu Haoran."
ambiguous?"
"It's obvious. If it weren't for the ambiguity, why would Miss Xia have been living in Mr. Gu's apartment before?"
"No." Xia Tong was asked repeatedly and couldn't help but retort: "Gu Haoran and I are just a boss and an employee. At most, they are just friends. There is no other inappropriate relationship."
"If there is no problem, how come Master Qin doesn't come to such a big reception for my wife?"
Gu Haoran pulled her behind him and said: "Let me explain about the problem of the house. Because Xia Tong was busy every day designing forever. And the place she lived before was far away from nes, so I wanted to make it easier for her.
While working, I lent her an apartment in West Lake Bijing to stay temporarily. And the house is not free to live in. There is a lease between us. If media friends are interested in the lease contract, I will show it to you later. But now it is forever
At the celebration cocktail party, I hope everyone can talk about forever. How about we find some other time to discuss some insignificant things in detail?"
Gu Haoran was indeed an expert at dealing with this kind of thing. His words were polite and impeccable, but he silenced the reporters.
Everyone smiled and said some polite words to each other, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Just when Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, "Is there really no problem with the marriage of Master Qin and Miss Xia?" A man wearing black sunglasses and holding a camera came out of the crowd.
Walking out: "I have something interesting here. I hope Miss Xia can give me an explanation."
Xia Tong looked over in confusion, and when he saw clearly what was in his hand, he was so frightened that all the hairs on his body stood up.
That... that turned out to be... turned out to be a copy of the divorce agreement between her and Qin Mujie? How could this man wearing sunglasses have it?"
"This is a divorce agreement. The parties on it are Miss Xia and Master Qin respectively. The date was three months ago. I specially asked someone to do a handwriting appraisal to prove that the signatures on it indeed belong to Miss Xia and Master Qin.
." He paused: "I wonder, Miss Xia, can you give me an explanation for this divorce agreement?"
As soon as the man in sunglasses finished speaking, the whole place became agitated. Everyone was whispering in confusion and all focused on Xia Tong, the focus of the incident.
