The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

Chapter 71 If I can't do it, I'll find someone else

The heater in the car was turned on hot enough just now so I didn't feel anything, but when I got out, the cold wind immediately hit me in the face.

She shuddered suddenly.

Then, a shawl fell from her shoulders.

The cashmere wool scarf wrapped tightly around the exposed shoulders, instantly bringing back the warmth.

"Be good, a runny nose isn't pretty."

Jiang Ruoli rarely refused.

After all, anyone who has experienced winter knows that once you put on a scarf, you can never take it off.

The same goes for shawls.

From time to time, people looked over, their eyes curious, but mostly gossiping, as if they wanted to see through her relationship with Pei Zigui.

Jiang Ruoli decided to go all out and simply reached into Pei Zigui's coat pocket.

The man said nothing, but reached into his pocket and wrapped the cold little hand around it, passing on his warmth.

"Your hands are so cold, yet you were still trying to be brave. Jiang Ruoli, you are the most stubborn person in the world, right?"

Jiang Ruoli pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly, but her tone was not embarrassed at all, "Husband is used to keep warm."

The temperature of his palms gradually warmed up, and Pei Zigui's mood obviously improved. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, you are right."

The dinner had not started yet, but the hall was brightly lit, with crystal chandeliers that were particularly dazzling. Waiters shuttled among the crowd, serving champagne and drinks to those who were chatting.

The invited guests have arrived one after another. In the spacious and bright banquet hall, the celebrities are dressed in gorgeous and expensive clothes. In such occasions, no one really comes to eat. Everyone has a hypocritical smile on their face, talking about their own interests and toasting each other.

The air was filled with the sound of gold coins hidden under the laughter.

There were several long tables in the banquet hall, covered with gorgeous tablecloths, decorated with flowers and candlesticks. Even the plates were carved with intricate patterns.

There is a name tag in front of each seat, quietly waiting for the owner to arrive.

As soon as they stepped into the banquet hall, they felt the warmth of spring. Before Jiang Ruoli could take off her shawl, she saw a man with a slightly immature face walking towards them quickly.

"Boss Pei, it's an honor that you've come here."

This dinner was hosted by Qifeng Technology. Pei Zigui was willing to honor Qifeng mainly because he recognized Qifeng's ability in the industry in the past two years. It just so happened that he and Li Yanzhou agreed that the field of artificial intelligence that Qifeng Technology had recently invested in was a good seedling that could be absorbed and accepted.

The person who came was the president of Qifeng Technology. He had just graduated a few years ago and was already a very outstanding talent compared to ordinary people. Qifeng was a company he co-founded with his friends during college. He was considered to be a promising young man.

Pei Zigui nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Qi, you are too polite. Pei is looking forward to cooperating with Qi Feng."

President Qi noticed that the woman next to him was a standout among the many well-dressed socialites in the room.

President Qi smiled and extended his hand: "This must be Mrs. Pei."

After thinking about it, he put down his right hand, raised his glass politely to Jiang Ruoli, and praised: "Mr. Pei is not bragging. Mrs. Pei is really a fairy from heaven."

I still remember one time when I was discussing something with Mr. Pei, during the break someone mentioned a popular female star. He even jokingly asked the boss at the main seat what he thought of her.

At that time, Pei Zigui didn't even raise his eyelids and said lightly: "Normally, not as pretty as my wife."

"She's prettier than a female star. It seems like Mrs. Pei is a fairy from heaven."

Pei Zigui rarely smiled, hummed, and finally raised his eyes: "She is beautiful and has a delicate personality."

Having said that, the man's eyes clearly showed that he was enjoying it.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoli couldn't wait to retract the hand that was still holding with Pei Zigui, and stared at him with a hint of surprise.

She gritted her teeth and muttered quietly, "What kind of image of a common believer are you creating for me out there?"

Pei Zigui raised his hand, took a glass of non-alcoholic drink from the waiter and handed it to her, coaxing her in a low voice: "Just tell the truth."

Jiang Ruoli took the goblet and smiled politely at President Qi, "President Qi, you are joking. Zigui was just kidding. President Qi is a young and promising man. He is so young and yet he has so much hair."

"...Mrs. Pei, you're too kind." Who understands the hardships of a tech guy? In fact, he even wore a wig today.

Watching the two of them interacting with each other, Pei Zigui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fortunately, Mr. Qi was also a perceptive person, and he quickly had someone lead the two to the main table: "Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, you can take a seat."

Now that even the Pei family member has arrived, the banquet can definitely begin.

"Let's go. I'm a little hungry." Jiang Ruoli spoke to Pei Zigui in a coquettish voice, pulled her shawl, threw it into the man's arms, and followed the waiter who led them to their seats.

Many people were whispering that Miss Jiang was still as princess-like as ever. Only she dared to order Pei's cold-faced Shura around like this.

Everyone was waiting for Pei Zigui's reaction. Everyone who had come into contact with him knew that he was not a good-tempered person.

But the man's eyes showed indulgence, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled indulgently and took the shawl in his hand.

The waiter beside him wanted to take it and put it in the exclusive area, but he seemed worried and shook his head. He didn't put the shawl on the back of the chair until he sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for you to attend the dinner hosted by our Qifeng Group today. I hope you can have a wonderful evening. Next, please allow our President Qi to give a speech to you."

The host on the stage was still talking, but Jiang Ruoli didn't listen at all.

She had attended this kind of dinner party at least 799 times since she was a child. She knew the whole process of the dinner party by heart. It would take at least 40 minutes before the meal was served.

The candlesticks on the table have been lit, swaying with warm yellow light.

Jiang Ruoli fiddled with her newly done nails out of boredom, completely unaware that those socialites were looking at her.

"How did Jiang Ruoli put on this makeup today? Why is it so clear?"

"Is this the latest couture piece from P.T. that she's wearing? Even celebrities can't borrow it, so she just wears it casually when she goes out."

"Did you see her nails? I'll go get a similar one someday. I heard butterflies bring wealth."

Among these people, there were many rich girls who grew up with Jiang Ruoli. Although they were not friends, they were familiar people who could chat with each other. After a while, someone came to take a photo with Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli slightly turned his body to the man next to him and said, "Take a picture for us."

Lin Xian was startled and hurriedly smiled apologetically: "No need, I'll find someone else..."

Before she could finish her words, Pei Zigui had already taken Jiang Ruoli's phone, turned on the camera and pointed it at her.

"How to shoot?"

Jiang Ruoli grabbed his hand and adjusted the camera position, "Okay, just press the shutter button later."

She smiled at Lin Xian and said, "Come over to my side. The light is better here."

Click. Pei Zigui looked at the camera and pressed the shutter.

Jiang Ruoli stretched his head to look, frowned, and angrily knocked Pei Zigui's arm: "Can't you wait a moment when you see someone passing by!"

Even passers-by were captured in the shot!

Pei Zigui pinched her snow-white cheek and apologized in a gentle voice: "My fault, take another shot."

"This is your last chance, otherwise I'll let someone else take the photo."

Lin Xian watched the interaction between the two silently, and suddenly felt that the rumors from the outside world were not so true.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruoli was quite satisfied with the photos this time. She showed the photos to Lin Xian and asked, "How is it? Do you want to take more?"

She even muttered quietly, "I think it's pretty good."

Lin Xian looked at the photo. The girl in the picture was looking at the camera with a beautiful smile, and her fox eyes seemed to be able to speak.

It is said that a lover's lens can speak volumes. Jiang Ruoli photographed by Pei Zigui is more lively than the selfies in her circle of friends.

She smiled and replied: "That's fine, send it to me later."

"OK OK!"

Many people came over to take pictures one after another. Pei Zigui had a cold face and looked unapproachable, but he was extremely obedient and helped Jiang Ruoli take picture after picture.

He proved his preference for Jiang Ruoli with his actions.

But it seems that some people don't think so.

In the corner, there were several pairs of eyes staring at the two of them.
