Qin Jiaren looked at herself in the mirror again. Her meticulous makeup, fashionable little dress, and exquisite bun were well matched, and she looked very good.
However, she was still very nervous. Although she had also attended the banquet, this time, Cheng Jun was going to formally introduce her to others. How could she not be nervous!
It wasn't until Cheng Jun's phone rang again that she picked up her bag and prepared to go out.
At the door, he met Cheng Xiao who was about to open the door and come in. Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "You are so beautifully dressed, are you going out with Cheng Jun?"
"Yes!" Qin Jiaren said happily.
Cheng Xiao's smile slowly faded, but he still kept saying: "Are you going to use a honey trap? My brother is very calm in his pregnancy!"
Qin Jiaren made a face and said, "I want you to take care of it!"
I put on my shoes and hurried out.
Cheng Xiao's cool voice sounded from behind: "Be careful, don't twist your python waist!"
Walking too fast, Qin Jiaren's foot slipped and she almost fell down. Cheng Xiao was so frightened that he slammed the door!
At the banquet, people were dressed in fragrant clothes and drinking wine.
At first glance, she knew it was a high-class banquet. The guests were all luxuriously dressed, sparkling with pearls, and full of nobility. In comparison, hers was a bit too simple, and she was a little annoyed to give up the set of jewelry Cheng Jun had chosen for her.
, now she can only use her temperament to support the scene. This is far different from the private cocktail parties she attended.
Seeing that Cheng Jun was so familiar with greeting the people around him, he could still deal with it with confidence at first, but then his heels became sore and the smile on his face became stiffer and stiffer. Cheng Jun was considerate and accompanied her as soon as she sat down, and people kept coming up to greet her.
, the conversations were all about business topics, and she was on no terms with her. The women were talking about either charity funds or clothes and jewelry. Those false flatteries made her feel uncomfortable...
What made her even more uncomfortable was that the women surrounding Cheng Jun all had good backgrounds. They were either the daughter of this group or the only daughter of that consortium. There were also some who directly promoted her and praised her daughter for her success in the hall.
In the hall, even if everyone is a lady, they can stand out, and it also hints at the various benefits brought by the marriage of the two families.
This almost made Qin Jiaren feel like she was carrying a ray of light on her back, but Cheng Jun still sat calmly and talked to him, not accepting the move.
Just when she was on pins and needles being stimulated by the glittering young ladies, a glass of orange juice appeared in front of her eyes. She looked up along the hand offering the orange juice, and saw a pair of smiling eyes that made her feel close to her at the first sight!
"Isn't it boring? I'm bored too. Participating in this kind of banquet makes me feel awkward all over!" The visitor came and sat down next to her in a familiar manner.
Judging from her dress, she seems to be from a well-known family. She is covered in famous brands and a new Dior dress. Last time Ye Meng pointed at the foreign model in the magazine and shouted that she liked it. It is a pity that it is not available in China yet. I can wear the new Paris dress.
The clothes showed that her family's wealth was extraordinary, especially the huge pink diamond on her hand, which cost more than ten million. She had also seen a female star wearing a similar style in a magazine. Qin Jiaren couldn't guess where it came from.
, dare not answer the call rashly.
The visitor didn't mind her politeness, "Are you Cheng Jun's friend?"
"Yes!" she replied obediently.
His eyes lit up, Du Xiaowei offered his most sincere blessings. "He is a good man, you are so lucky!"
"Yes, I think I'm very lucky too!" Qin Jiaren also replied with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Jun walked over.
"You are saying that you are not interesting enough. You have a girlfriend, but you ignore her and are only busy socializing!" Du Xiaowei vented his anger for Qin Jiaren.
Cheng Jun smiled and said: "It sounds like you are talking about another person?"
"Honey, I was having a conversation with Director Zhang, why did you sneak away again?" Ye Rongtian, a sharp-eyed man, saw his wife going to see her old lover, leaving Director Zhang behind, and ran over in a hurry.
"Ouch, hubby, I have a headache!" Du Xiaowei quickly frowned and rubbed his head.
"Really?" Are you still using this trick? It has already failed!
"By the way, hubby, Xiaoye called just now, crying and looking for you!" Du Xiaowei said seriously.
This time, he hit Ye Rongtian's weak point and pulled his wife away.
Du Xiaowei turned his head and winked at Qin Jiaren mischievously.
Qin Jiaren smiled and waved her hand and said goodbye.
"Wow, her husband is actually Ye Rongtian, the leader in the transportation industry. How awesome!"
"It's true that a sparrow flew onto a branch and married into a wealthy family. I'm so envious!"
Listening to the people around her talking about her, Qin Jiaren also sighed: "She is really interesting, no wonder her husband likes her so much!" Qin Jiaren looked in front of her because her wife complained that the shoes were uncomfortable, so she squatted down condescendingly.
Body, go check it out! It makes all the women here jealous and jealous.
Cheng Jun looked ahead, and could face it calmly in his heart. She lived a happy life, was loved and loved, and had people around her to accompany them. The past must eventually pass, as Cheng Xiao said, cherish the people in front of you!
He held Qin Jiaren's hand tightly and smiled warmly, "Let's go too. Such a banquet is indeed boring!"
After walking out of the hotel, the guy who parked the car was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for a while, he saw Qin Jiaren shivering in thin clothes. He took off his hair condom and put it on her shoulders. Not wanting to wait any longer, Cheng Jun went to drive by himself.
Qin Jiaren hugged Cheng Jun's coat, and Cheng Jun's unique body odor came from the clothes, which was as heartwarming as Cheng Jun's hug.
She looked around boredly, and her eyes fell on the colorful neon lights opposite. The big signboards on them made her feel suffocated.
Some familiar scenes unexpectedly broke into her mind, the chaotic bar, the chaotic crowd, the small private room she entered by mistake, the scene inside frightened her, everyone seemed to be out of control, laughing like crazy.
Moving, dancing, and taking off clothes, all kinds of sounds filled her senses, and she almost became stupid. Just when she was about to close the door and rush to exit, it was already too late. She was dragged by a man.
Already...
Qin Jiaren looked pale and hugged her head violently, not daring to think any more. Her body could not help but tremble.
She unexpectedly revisited the place where her nightmare began. When she first arrived, Cheng Jun was with her, and her mind was on the banquet. She didn't realize that opposite the hotel was the hotel that made her panic.
's bar.
There seemed to be countless demonic hands stretching out around her, and they kept circling in her ears. She covered her ears and just wanted to escape, as far away as possible.
In a panic, she turned around and rushed into the night. She became more and more confused and lost her way.
Standing at an unfamiliar intersection, she looked around helplessly and blamed herself for walking around.
Cheng Jun, Cheng Jun, Cheng Jun.
She called his name over and over in her heart.
She stopped at the entrance of a dark alley and hesitated.
The alley in front of her was like a black hole, like a big invisible net, trying to lock her tightly.
Her eyes widened with fear, and something came clearly to her ears——
"Beauty, run quickly!"
"Run quickly, don't look back!"
Turning her head, she saw someone running towards her.
Without thinking any more, she ran towards the alley as hard as she could.
Time and space intersected. That night many years ago, she was running like this in the alley. Tears fell down her face. She choked up. She kept running and crying. She abandoned him and went to live alone.
Gone, he gave his life in exchange for her survival...
The faces of Bo Tao and Cheng Jun were exchanged in front of her eyes. Just when she was about to collapse, a person rushed out in front of her. She ran into the person's arms. The huge fear made her scream.
Call.
"Beauty, beauty, it's me, Cheng Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Xiao shook Qin Jiaren, who was stiff all over.
She stopped screaming, her chest rose and fell violently, and she saw the person in front of her clearly. She held him tightly with both hands, and the scene jumped out of the depths of her memory, which deeply stimulated her. She was so surprised that she could not speak.
I just looked at him in disbelief for a long time before asking with a trembling voice: "Cheng Xiao?"
"Yes!" Cheng Xiao agreed.
Qin Jiaren let go of her hand, as if she had been hit by something, and murmured: "It's actually...it's you!" She slumped on the ground, staring straight at the ground.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? Where's my brother!" Cheng Xiao looked at her frightened and asked in confusion.
Qin Jiaren turned her head numbly to Cheng Xiao, looked at him for a while, and then said slowly: "Just now, someone was chasing me!"
"Idiot, it's me. I was nearby. I wanted to say hello to you, but you suddenly ran away. I chased you for several streets before I saw you. I ran towards you again, but you ran away again! I
Run over at another intersection, you are really good at running, I really can't catch you without a lot of effort!" Cheng Xiao smiled and knocked her on the head.
But her face changed drastically, her whole body was shaking like chaff, and her teeth were chattering. "What did you say? Say it again?"
"I said you usually look gentle and quiet, you are not merciless when hitting people, and you are windy when you run. My brother can catch you, it seems you really need some strength!" Cheng Xiao continued to joke. "By the way, you ran.
What?"
Qin Jiaren still looked at him motionless and said softly: "I thought there was a bad guy chasing me!"
Bad guys are chasing you? Bad guys don’t dare to chase you. Look at you like this. It’s good if you don’t scare the bad guys faint. You look like a female ghost? You’re so scared that you’re so scared that your eyeliner is blurred. You’re so ugly!” Cheng Xiao didn’t.
Finding something strange about her, he helped her up, then called Cheng Jun and told him which intersection they were at and asked him to drive over to pick them up.
Qin Jiaren pushed Cheng Xiao's hand away calmly. Cheng Xiao noticed her alienation and didn't take it seriously, thinking that she had been frightened just now.
She was silent for a long time, and when Cheng Xiao also felt that something was wrong, she opened her mouth to ask him.
"Do you come here often?"
"No, I used to come here often, but then I stopped coming!"
"Why didn't you come?" she asked.
Cheng Xiao was silent for a moment and then said, "I went abroad later!"
"Then why are you here again today?"
Cheng Xiao looked at her profile. Could he tell her that he knew they were attending a banquet in this hotel, so he was wandering around here?
"Oh, I thought I hadn't sat in that bar for a long time, so I just went in and sat down. Unexpectedly, I saw you in a daze as soon as I went out. Who knew you ran away again before I called you!" Cheng Xiao said in confusion.
Look at her.
"That bar, is there something particularly unforgettable for you in the bar that you still miss after you return to China?" She probed.
Cheng Xiao thought she was joking, "Yes, there is a girl in there, she is so on point. When I went abroad, I cried so much that I couldn't let go of me!"
"If it suits your taste so much, why did you go abroad in the first place?"
"Well... something troublesome has happened, let's go abroad and hide for a while!" Cheng Xiao downplayed it, but Qin Jiaren's heart was in an uproar, and she tried her best to control her emotions.
"Everything requires you to go abroad to hide. Are you trying to avoid debt?" She tried her best to remain calm.
"Wow! How did you know!" Cheng Xiao changed the topic easily and began to talk about his bitter stories and romantic affairs abroad.
Qin Jiaren listened absentmindedly, but was secretly frightened by the prototype in her heart!
She kept peeking at Cheng Xiao. She wanted to know what kind of reality was hidden under that handsome face!
