I almost touched the moon

The ceremony was filled with celebrities, elegantly dressed people, and people drinking and chatting. People coming and going were saying some polite or insincere words, which just made people feel tired.

Cheng Che was wearing a high-end grey English suit from Scabal today, and a dark brown tie made him look even more noble. His appearance and figure were outstanding, and he looked even more dazzling in such a suit. With his family background and status, many people came to chat with him as soon as he sat down.

Cheng Che didn't like socializing and felt dizzy. As soon as the award ceremony was over, he wanted to skip the dinner and leave, but he happened to see a familiar figure in the crowd.

Pei Shuyang saw Cheng Che, and walked up to him with a chuckle and said, "Where are you going, Master Cheng? If you run away, I will complain to your father."

Seeing that his childhood friend was still full of smiles, Cheng Che suddenly admired his character. He felt that he would never be able to navigate the world of fame and fortune as easily as he did.

"Go out and get some fresh air." Cheng Che said silently.

Pei Shuyang didn't intend to let him go. He grabbed him and returned to his seat, and his eyes happened to be on Qiu Xuanyan.

She was wearing a Schiaparelli light yellow satin dress, paired with Graff butterfly series high-end jewelry, which was particularly noble and elegant. She was holding a glass of champagne in her hand, smiling and talking to someone, with a dignified and generous manner.

"The daughters of Hengya are extraordinary." Pei Shuyang said with some admiration, "Hengya's net profit this year has exceeded 10 billion. My father always says at home that he would be very lucky if I could have even one tenth of Qiu Xuanyan's. Compared with her, I am a negative example."

Cheng Che couldn't help but chuckle. Qiu Xuanyan was a woman with ambition clearly written on her face. Under her leadership, Hengya Group has been developing rapidly in recent years, and she has been named one of the top ten outstanding female entrepreneurs in the country many times. Wen Song and she have completely different personalities and attitudes towards life, and it is unknown how they can become good friends.

Pei Shuyang glanced at his friends and sighed, "Of course, I am also a negative example in front of you."

Cheng Che smiled, looking at Pei Shuyang's still unserious look, and said half-jokingly: "You are a negative example compared to anyone."

"You can't say that." Pei Shuyang put his arm around Cheng Che's shoulders and said, "Compared to you, my brother is indeed not as good as you. But I am better than the worst, and have you heard about the Tang family?"

"Which Tang family?" Cheng Che has been abroad for many years, so he naturally doesn't know about these gossips about wealthy families.

"Which other Tang family could there be, the one that does mining?"

After hearing this, Cheng Che understood. Because of Wen Song, he didn't like gossip, but he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that there were not many people around, Pei Shuyang lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Fei Ye Zi of the Tang family has been arrested. Chairman Tang was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He tried his best and even begged his ex-father-in-law, but he still couldn't get him out. He is still in the detention center."

Cheng Che also frowned after hearing this. What a mess the Tang family is. Fortunately, Wen Song had nothing to do with them long ago.

As they were talking, Qiu Xuanyan also came over, greeted Cheng Che and Pei Shuyang, and sat next to them. Seeing that they were chatting happily, she asked with interest, "What are you talking about?"

Pei Shuyang also told Qiu Xuanyan about the Tang family's affairs. Qiu Xuanyan nodded and said, "I know that the police station chief who arrested the drug addict from the Tang family happened to be a former subordinate of Dean Wen. Mr. Tang went to ask Dean Wen for help, but Dean Wen didn't bother to pay attention to him. Drugs are a hard red line, and he dared to touch them. After touching them, he dared to ask for help. He thinks the law is a decoration. In my opinion, the drug addict should be locked up for a few more days."

Cheng Che frowned and said to Pei Shuyang, "Do you really have to compare yourself with the worse ones?"

"Ah Che, it's not nice to say that." Pei Shuyang defended himself, "I'm just a little uneducated, but I'm not involved in pornography, gambling or drugs. Unlike the guy from the Tang family, who got into this kind of trouble just after becoming an adult, I don't know what will happen to him in the future."

"Everyone in the Tang family is a hopeless loser." Qiu Xuanyan's words were full of contempt. "Even Tang Lingyuan is just a high-level loser, otherwise Watson wouldn't have had negative net profits for five consecutive years."

Pei Shuyang agreed deeply with Qiu Xuanyan's words, nodded and said, "Yes, it's no wonder that Chairman Tang is so anxious and angry. Neither of the two children in the family is doing well, and the only one who is doing well doesn't even recognize him as his father."

"By the way, Mr. Qiu, Miss Wen is not coming today either."

"No." Qiu Xuanyan smiled, "She doesn't like this kind of occasion."

Pei Shuyang said to Cheng Che again: "Miss Wen's temper seems quite similar to yours. But does she like men? Mr. Qiu, I've heard a lot of rumors about you two. Some people even said that you and Miss Wen got married abroad. Is that true?"

Qiu Xuanyan almost laughed herself to death when she heard what he said, but there were people around, so she could only cover her mouth and try to hold back her laughter, almost laughing to tears. Turning around, she saw Cheng Che's speechless and somewhat angry expression, which made her laugh even more.

"I think Mr. Cheng should know this question better than me." She tactfully threw the question to Cheng Che.

Cheng Che glared at Pei Shuyang and said unhappily, "She likes men, and she and Mr. Qiu are just good friends."

"How do you know so much?" Pei Shuyang still didn't react, "Do you know each other?"

"Stop thinking about chasing after female stars all day long and give yourself some IQ." Cheng Che was angry when he heard what he said, but he rarely spoke venomously. He said to Pei Shuyang word by word, "Because she is my girlfriend."

"What?" Pei Shuyang was surprised. "No way. I met Miss Wen once before and asked her for her WeChat. Guess what she said to me. She said something in German. Later I found out that what she meant was, 'I don't understand Chinese.' How did you get her?"

"Maybe it's because she's obsessed with looks." Cheng Che joked, and took out a photo of the two of them from his phone and showed it to Pei Shuyang, "You'll believe it this time, right?"

Pei Shuyang looked at the photo on Cheng Che's phone, nodded and said, "I believe it, it's good. But don't talk nonsense, although I'm not as pretty as you, but I'm not bad looking, and there are many girls who like me."

Cheng Che laughed dryly twice, unwilling to break Pei Shuyang's confidence.

Just then, a young girl in a pink evening dress noticed them, her eyes twinkling, and walked towards them in surprise.

"Speaking of the devil, here comes the sister who is a negative example." Pei Shuyang's tone revealed a bit of disdain, and he looked at Cheng Che with sympathy.

Cheng Che held his forehead and turned to the side, saying unhappily, "How could she come?"

"This event has true elites like you and Mr. Qiu. Of course, there are also second-generation rich people like me and Miss Tang who rely on our family's money to buy places and come in to develop connections." Pei Shuyang still had a cynical smile on his face as he explained.

Soon, Tang Siyan walked up to them, bypassed the others, and said to Cheng Che: "Brother Che, long time no see, why didn't you tell me that you returned to China?"

"Mr. Cheng and Miss Tang have this kind of relationship." Qiu Xuanyan didn't even bother to hide her disdain for Tang Siyan and said directly in a sarcastic tone.

"Mr. Qiu has misunderstood." Cheng Che quickly explained, "Ms. Tang and I have only met once or twice at some business banquets."

"Sister Xuanyan, you are here too." Tang Siyan pretended to have just seen Qiu Xuanyan and tried to get closer to her. "Sister Xuanyan, your skirt is so beautiful. It makes your skin look whiter."

"It makes her skin look white", doesn't that imply that she is dark? Qiu Xuanyan snorted coldly and looked at Tang Siyan coldly. This green tea girl's behavior is exactly the same as her mother who is a secretary and a mistress.

"Miss Tang and I are not familiar with each other, so don't call her sister all the time. It may cause misunderstanding." Qiu Xuanyan did not hide her malice towards Tang Siyan at all. She knew that she was Wen Song's good friend but still tried to get close to her. It was disgusting.

Who would have thought that Tang Siyan seemed not to sense her ill intentions and continued, "I heard from my mother that Sister Songsong also returned to China two days ago. Why didn't I see her today?"

"You know it so clearly." Qiu Xuanyan sneered and couldn't help rolling her eyes again, "You and your mother are not illegitimate fans of our Song Song."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shuyang couldn't help laughing, and even Cheng Che laughed, thinking that Wen Song and Qiu Xuanyan were really good sisters, each one more sarcastic than the other.

Tang Siyan was about to burst into tears after hearing her words. She didn't want to humiliate herself any more, so she turned to Cheng Che and said, "Brother Che, I saw the news about you winning the championship. You look so handsome. Is there a World Championship in February? I will come to cheer for you!"

"Don't." Cheng Che hurriedly avoided suspicion and distanced himself from the matter. "Ms. Tang, we don't know each other. Please don't say things that could lead to misunderstandings."

After saying that, he glanced at Qiu Xuanyan and saw her smiling and talking about something on the phone. He couldn't help but worry secretly in his heart, thinking that Qiu Xuanyan wouldn't say anything to Wen Song. What if Wen Song misunderstood?

Qiu Xuanyan stood up and said, "I want to go out and smoke a cigarette, would you like to join me?"

"I'll go with you. Mr. Qiu, please wait for me." Cheng Che hurriedly followed.

When they reached the balcony, Qiu Xuanyan glanced at Cheng Che and asked with a gloomy face, "What is your relationship with the Tang family?"

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Che said truthfully, "I don't even know her name, and we haven't said a few words to each other."

"She is interested in you." Qiu Xuanyan snorted coldly, with a slight smile on her lips.

"I have no interest in her at all. I can't even remember what she looks like." Cheng Che quickly explained, "Mr. Qiu, don't worry. The only person I love is Song Song, now and in the future."

"I know." Qiu Xuanyan also smiled, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just asking you. Mr. Cheng, you have a good appearance, a good personality, and an even better family background. My Songsong likes you, and of course there will be other girls pursuing you. But you have to know your limits, and don't do anything reckless just because she doesn't care about anything."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu. I won't do anything to let Song Song down." Cheng Che solemnly assured Qiu Xuanyan.

Qiu Xuanyan nodded slightly and looked at him approvingly, "I believe in Mr. Cheng's character. The Tang family is not a good family. It won't bring you any benefit to stick with them."

"I know what's going on." Cheng Che nodded.

"That's fine." Qiu Xuanyan added, "The Tang family's affairs are Songsong's bottom line. She and the Tang family are incompatible. Just keep this in mind."
