Ever since Zhou Cishen and Lin Zhiyi appeared together, the entire scene fell into an eerie silence.
As we all know, the Ji family has long been nothing more than an empty shell. This charity dinner was just an occasion for the Ji family to build relationships with Mr. Zhou.
Even though the Ji family has declined, the connections and reputation accumulated in the past are still there.
Moreover, many people also want to tie up with the Zhou family, but everyone knows in their hearts that although Mr. Zhou is the master of the Zhou family, the actual say is in the hands of Zhou Cishen.
.
However, things have changed since marrying the Ji family.
And I don’t know what Zhou Cishen was thinking. At that critical moment, he actually went to other places to develop some resort hotels, and directly sent the huge Zhou family to the eagerly watching Mr. Zhou.
Although the situation has changed now, Zhou Cishen's strength and methods cannot be underestimated. These people who came today are all here to explore the truth under the guise of participating in a charity dinner.
But what they never expected was that Zhou Cishen would appear together with the daughter of the Lin family.
In this way, the situation becomes obvious.
After all, the Ji family, which is only an empty shell, can't compare to the Lin family, which has strong financial resources, no matter how many connections it has.
After a while of silence, everyone discussed in low voices again.
Each of these people had their own ideas, and the only one in the audience who was happy for Lin Zhiyi was probably Ji Ran.
When Mr. Ji saw this scene, his face was dark, but he couldn't say anything.
When Lin Zhiyi held Zhou Cishen's hand and came over to say hello, he just nodded slightly. He had long been accustomed to Zhou Cishen's defiance, arrogance and rudeness, and he didn't care about these false courtesy.
He said: "It's a great honor for Mr. Zhou to attend the dinner hosted by the Ji family."
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "Chairman Ji, there is no need to say polite words. You should know why I am here."
No matter how old Mr. Ji is, he is a person who has experienced great storms, so he will not be questioned. He replies with all his strength: "What are you talking about, Mr. Zhou? Today is a charity jewelry dinner. Naturally, everyone is here for charity. Except for
Besides, I can't think of any other reason for Mr. Zhou to come here."
Zhou Cishen raised his thin lips coldly and said nothing.
Lin Zhiyi spoke at the right time and said with a smile: "Uncle Ji is right, of course we are all here for the charity auction tonight."
At this time, other people arrived and came to say hello.
Lin Zhiyi said again: "Uncle Ji, you are busy first."
After leaving, Zhou Cishen took his hand out of Lin Zhiyi's arms, took a glass of champagne, and said lightly: "The acting was good."
Lin Zhiyi did not comment, but also took a glass of champagne, clinked it with his, and whispered in his ear: "This scene has just begun. Look around, everyone is looking towards us, which proves that we are here tonight."
The plan was very successful.”
Zhou Cishen tilted his head, and the smile on his lips was a bit cold.
As soon as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, Ji Ran walked over with a big belly and shouted: "Zhiyi."
"Sister Ji Ran."
Ji Ran curled his lips slightly when he looked at Zhou Cishen, then looked away again, and pulled Lin Zhiyi to talk with a smile.
Ji Ran didn't know much about what the Zhou family and Ji family were planning. She was just thinking about her friends.
Although she didn't like Zhou Cishen, she couldn't deny his ability and his position in the Zhou family that couldn't be easily shaken.
What's more, he was the person Lin Zhiyi had liked for so many years.
Ji Ran said: "I'm telling you, Zhiyi, I really like the necklace sent by Shengguang Jewelry, but..."
Of course Lin Zhiyi knew what she was hesitating about. It was just that she might not be able to get so much money.
She smiled and said: "Sister Ji Ran, if you like it, I will give it to you."
"No, no, no, I'm just talking. After all, today's charity dinner is hosted by the Ji family. I can't take over the show. I'm just telling you that the necklace is nice. If you like it, you can take a photo of it.
"
At this time, the lights dimmed, the host came on stage, and the charity auction officially began.
…
Downstairs in the hotel, Ruan Xingwan was blown by the wind and sneezed. When he was looking for paper in his bag, he found a jewelry box.
Only then did she remember what she had forgotten.
Although she couldn't attend the charity dinner, she had to deliver whatever she promised to the client.
Ruan Xingwan gathered his clothes and walked towards the hotel.
After getting off the elevator, Ruan Xingwan asked a waiter: "Hello, could you please help me find Miss Lin Zhiyilin? I have something to give her."
The waiter glanced at the door behind him and knew that the people coming tonight were all rich and powerful people, so he did not dare to neglect: "Okay, please wait a moment."
Halfway through the auction, the waiter found Lin Zhiyi in the ambiguously lit venue and explained his purpose.
After Lin Zhiyi finished listening, she glanced sideways at the man next to her. He looked at the booth indifferently, not paying attention to her at all.
After Lin Zhiyi whispered to the waiter, she gently said to Zhou Cishen: "Cishen, someone is looking for me outside. I'll leave first."
Zhou Cishen didn't look back and just said hum.
Outside the banquet hall.
Ruan Xingwan didn't wait long when she saw Lin Zhiyi walking over.
"Ms. Lin."
Lin Zhiyi smiled, walked to her and stood in front of her: "Since you are all here, why don't you go in?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I have something to do at the moment."
With that said, she took out the jewelry box from her bag: "Sorry, I kept you waiting."
Lin Zhiyi reached out and took it: "It's okay."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Then Miss Lin, I will first..."
"The auction of Shengguang Jewelry will be held soon. I heard that Ms. Ruan's works will also be participating this time. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Ruan Xingwan was silent and smiled lightly: "No need."
She turned around and had just taken a few steps when she heard the sound of high heels coming from behind.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Anan's voice sounded: "Sister Zhiyi, I have been looking for you for a long time, why did you come out?"
Lin Zhiyi smiled at her and said, "I'll come out to get your wedding gift."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan paused slightly.
The sister Lin Zhiyi mentioned is Zhou Anan?
Zhou Anan stood in front of Lin Zhiyi: "What is it?"
"I'm going to Shengguang to find a necklace made by a designer."
Lin Zhiyi opened the box, "Do you like it?
This was designed for you by Ruan, the designer of 'First Love', and I remember that you seemed to like it very much..."
When Lin Zhiyi was talking, Zhou Anan happened to look up at the back not far away and recognized that it was Ruan Xingwan.
Before Lin Zhiyi could finish speaking, she immediately snatched the jewelry box and threw it at Ruan Xingwan's feet: "Ruan Xingwan, why are you so shameless? You've come here to bother me!"
