Chapter 137: The Uninvited Guest at the Engagement Banquet
Ji Zhehan and Liu Siyang's engagement dinner was held at the Ji family villa.
As night fell, there were many cars, BMWs and Luo Yi outside the door of Ji's villa, and the hall was already filled with distinguished guests, drinking and laughing. Almost all the political celebrities who had friendship with Lan Yu were present.
The hall has been rearranged and looks more beautiful. In the center, there is a large cake with more than ten layers. Next to the cake are layers of crystal cups, which are crystal clear.
What did not match the lively occasion was a slightly dark corner of the hall.
Zuo Lin wore a gentle and pleasant dress. Her hair was cut into a section, the ends were slightly permed, and her hair was pulled into a lazy bun. It was simple and elegant. She gave up her usual favorite backless tube top dress and changed it to
Wearing a light blue dress, she didn't wear heavy makeup, just applied some powder, lightly outlined her eyebrows, and applied crimson lipstick. She looked very fresh.
At this time, she was hiding in this corner, sipping the wine-red liquid in the cup alone, her eyes scanning the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally.
Yang Rui was clinking glasses and talking with Zhang Ziwei, and by the way he met some celebrities in the business world to pave the way for the company's development. Yang's parents were unable to come temporarily because of something else, but fortunately, he, the eldest brother, was in Shanghai.
"Yang Rui, look." Zhang Ziwei, who was talking but his eyes were busy looking around, pointed at the pretty Zuo Lin: "How about it, is it on point? Do you want to go have a drink?"
"I'm not interested. I want to go. You can go by yourself." Yang Rui smiled and shook his head: Zhang Ziwei always had a habit of chasing after pretty girls when he saw them.
Zhang Ziwei smiled evilly at Yang Rui like a ruffian and walked over with a wine glass in his hand.
"Haha, the lady is so beautiful. Are you interested in having a drink?" Zhang Ziwei came over to strike up a conversation.
"Not interested!" Zuo Lin only raised her head and glanced at him: she had an ordinary appearance, ordinary height, and the clothes on her body were also ordinary. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary young man.
"Okay, he has personality, I like it." Zhang Ziwei laughed at himself, holding his own wine glass and lightly touching Zuo Lin's glass, saying: "Thank you." He turned and left.
"Have you hit a soft spot?" Yang Rui, standing far away, took in everything and said with a mocking tone.
"It won't take long." Zhang Ziwei laughed at himself and drank the wine in the glass. He snapped his fingers at Yang Rui: "Yang Rui, I have a date, so I'm leaving first."
"Afraid of meeting your father? Well, he should be here soon." Yang Rui teased.
"It's better not to meet each other. I finally escaped from the palm of Tathagata Buddha. Haha, bye!"
"Alas, this father and son, I don't know when they will get back together." Yang Rui sighed at Zhang Ziwei's back.
Zhang Ziwei's father is also one of the most important figures in the business world: the son of Zhang Boyuan, the boss of Jincheng's foreign trade. Unfortunately, the two had different personalities, and Zhang Ziwei refused to obey his father's wishes to develop in Jincheng, and instead formed a small company with Yang Rui.
At this point, the war between father and son has entered an incandescent stage. Jincheng and Lan Yu are related in business, and he will definitely come to attend soon. In order to avoid conflicts, Zhang Ziwei wisely chose to leave before his father arrived.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the engagement ceremony officially began.
Liu Siyang appeared on the stage holding Ji Zhehan's arm, with sweet smiles on their faces. Siyang was dressed up by a stylist invited to the house today. She was beautiful, charming and confident. Transparent eye shadow made Siyang's eyes
The eyelashes that have been carefully processed with mascara have become brighter and longer, and a series of well-fitting burgundy dresses have made her figure more perfect.
"Let me announce that the engagement dinner between Ji Zhehan and Mr. Liu Siyang will now begin. First, I will ask them to give a speech of thanks, and then exchange tokens of engagement."
Rui'er, who was wearing a light pink dress and a princess hairdo, was like a little fairy who could not eat the fireworks of this world. She ran onto the stage with a smile and held the microphone to act as the host. She had spent a lot of effort to get this.
Chance.
Liu Siyang and Ji Zhehan were pushed to the stage by several best friends.
After a few simple words of thanks, Ji Zhehan solemnly put the sapphire necklace that Siyang had taken off after his father's birthday party around Siyang's neck. Siyang already knew the meaning of this necklace, and he suddenly felt happy like an electric current.
She hit her. With a blushing face, she took the box handed over by Rui'er and took out a luxury watch that Ji Zhehan had prepared and put it on him.
The camera in the reporter's hand shook wildly, accompanied by a clicking sound. Liu Siyang felt a little exhausted.
"We'll ask them to cut the cake for us next." Rui'er ran onto the stage again.
Ji Zhehan and Liu Siyang jointly held the knife handed over by Rui'er and cut the cake.
"Still a little nervous?" Ji Zhehan whispered in Siyang's ear. He could feel the sweat on his little hand that he just held.
"It's the first time, it's inevitable." Liu Siyang chuckled.
"Remember, there is no second time." Ji Zhehan also smiled.
Graceful and melodious music sounded, and many people in the hall put down their champagne and danced. Siyang was also pulled to the center by Ji Zhehan, and Xiao Ran and Yuan Lei also participated.
"Minyuan, you and Jing Wei should go dancing too." Weng Qing felt very itchy, but she had no choice but to sit here as a pregnant woman, while the considerate Zhang Yi was responsible for accompanying his wife.
"We? It's okay if we have a martial arts show." Minyuan laughed at herself. She will go to Beijing in two weeks, and she is very happy to be able to catch up with Siyang's engagement.
Zuo Lin in the corner had already put a glass of golden champagne in her hand, staring at the two people with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, her teeth were itching, and there was an evil smile on her lips.
She was unwilling to give in and sipped the champagne in the glass reluctantly.
The song ends.
When Liu Siyang held Ji Zhehan's arm, she walked through the crowd with a happy expression on her face, greeting people she knew and didn't know. When she almost reached the corner, she was stunned, holding Ji Zhehan tightly with her little hands.
She recognized that the innocent-looking girl in front of her was Zuo Lin. The eyes could not deceive, and this was true at all. Although she was dressed in a gentle manner, it was still ruined by the fiery gaze.
The confrontation between the two women took place in the flash of lightning when their eyes met!
"What's wrong, Yang Yang?" Ji Zhehan's hand was held tightly by hers, and she could clearly feel her nervousness.
"Ji Zhehan, Liu Siyang, you are fine!"
There was mockery in the corner of Zuo Lin's mouth, and her voice sounded a little cold.
"Linlin, why are you back? Aren't you in Canada?" Ji Zhehan reacted instantly, took his big hand out of Siyang's hand, and held her small hand instead. He guessed that she was here to cause trouble, and didn't want Siyang to do anything.
receive no further harm.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Zuo Lin said with an evil smile on her face and said things she didn't mean.
"Sister?" Rui'er was tired from dancing and wanted to find a quiet place to rest. She unexpectedly found Zuo Lin here.
"Sister, why are you back?" Rui'er looked at Zuo Lin in disbelief.
"Why can't I come?" Zuo Lin rolled her eyes angrily.
"But sister...sigh..." Rui'er knew that her persuasion was ineffective, so she simply went to find her parents.
Zuo Weihao and Jingyun hurried over.
"Linlin, why are you back?" Jingyun looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then asked in a low voice.
"My cousin is engaged, I'll come back to congratulate you!" Zuo Lin smiled, looking like an innocent girl.
"Linlin, I tell you, you must not mess around!" Zuo Weihao warned him.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Do you want me to reprimand you as soon as I come back? Do you hope that Linlin will never come back?" Zuo Lin acted coquettishly while holding Zuo Weihao's hand, looking innocent.
Jingyun was silent for a moment and sighed.
"Wei Hao, Linlin is back, so don't say anything else. Linlin, go see your uncle and aunt. Just now they asked you how you were doing in Canada." Jingyun persuaded Zuo Wei softly.
Hao, pulled Zuo Lin towards Jingshu.
Zhehan pulled Siyang to follow him.
"It's broken." Yuan Lei's heart was shocked, and he held Xiao Ran's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Yuan Lei, why are you squeezing my hand?" Xiao Ran looked at him puzzled, and then followed his gaze: "What's the matter?"
"Did you see that girl?" Yuan Lei pointed at Zuo Lin.
"Well, what's wrong?" Xiao Ran didn't know Zuo Lin.
"She is Zuo Lin." Yuan Lei softly uttered a few words.
"Zuo Lin?" Minyuan and Xiao Ran shouted almost at the same time. Although they have never met her, they have heard her name. Didn't this evil woman go to Canada? Why did she suddenly come back and appear in Siyang's house?
At the engagement dinner, there must be a lot of things to say.
"I'll go take a look." Minyuan stood up quickly, but was pushed down by Jing Wei.
"I want to protect Siyang." Minyuan pouted dissatisfied.
"She won't do anything tonight." Yuan Lei pulled Xiao Ran to sit down and analyzed.
"real?"
"If we openly cause trouble today, Zuo Lin will lose everything." Yuan Lei pondered for a moment.
"That's right, Minyuan, Mr. Ji's taekwondo is better than yours, so you don't have to go. If you go, it will make Siyang even more nervous." Jing Wei patted Minyuan on the shoulder and told him the reason for stopping him.
Fortunately, the big-bellied women Weng Qing and Zhang Yi were relatively far away from them, otherwise they would have caused a few more people to worry.
Looking over there, a few people were chatting and laughing. Jing Shu was looking at Zuo Lin with a smile and asked her why she didn't say hello in advance. Zuo Lin also looked like a good girl.
Liu Siyang's nerves were still tense. If she wanted to show off, she wouldn't be afraid of Zuo Lin. It's just that it's easy to dodge open guns, but hard to prevent hidden arrows. And Zuo Lin is a sinister person, and even a slight smile towards her is like a smile hiding a knife. Now that I think about it
Zuo Lin was still frightened when she found someone who wanted to insult her but was blocked by Min Yuan.
Ji Zhehan held Siyang's hand and never let go. He conveyed to her the message: You are safe with me. But he was afraid that his parents would be worried, so he still had a smile on his face and echoed his parents' questions about Zuo Lin in Canada.
.
Yang Rui, who is from her mother's side, was having an affectionate conversation with Jing Shu and Ji Hengzhong. When Jing Yun took the girl over, he couldn't help but be startled. She seemed to be the person Zhang Ziwei was looking for just now.
Now I know that she is actually the richest daughter of the Zuo Group. No wonder she is dismissive of Zhang Ziwei. But the way she looks at Siyang is very complicated. Yang Rui is not good at reading people's hearts. What's more, she is Siyang's future relative.
