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

The man recognized her at a glance, and held Jiang Ruoli's arm through her clothes like a gentleman, calling out affectionately, "Why are you still so reckless?"

Jiang Ruoli subconsciously retracted his hand, then looked up again, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, as if he finally remembered something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Senior, long time no see."

The man who was called the senior frowned slightly and reminded softly: "I've told you so many times, just call me Richard. There's no need to be so distant between us."

Richard is a mixed-race of Chinese and British, with a pair of deep blue pupils. It is not the kind of blue that can be seen through at a glance, but requires careful observation to be discovered.

As a mixed-race, Richard experienced discrimination from Westerners since childhood. In contrast, Orientals were obviously more welcoming to him, so he interacted more with Asians since childhood and his personality was more like that of Orientals.

Chinese students abroad basically hang out together, and so does Jiang Ruoli. Richard and Jiang Ruoli met at an Asian dance party while studying abroad.

As a senior, he was responsible for welcoming the new students. That day, Jiang Ruoli danced on the stage, and all the men in the audience stopped and looked at her.

However, this lady did not seem to be proud of it. Instead, she rejected one suitor after another with a slightly distressed look.

Richard withdrew his thoughts from his memories and his eyes fell on Jiang Ruoli in front of him.

"Richard, when did you come to Jiangcheng?"

The man smiled and answered her question in standard Mandarin.

"Two months ago, I opened a planning company in Jiangcheng, and today's dinner was planned by our company."

Jiang Ruoli was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, Richard's father was a well-known consulting company in the UK. He would never come to China to develop.

"My parents divorced last year, so I planned to go back to China with my mother. Now, I can be considered a poor baby from a divorced family."

Hearing Richard's light-hearted self-mockery, Jiang Ruoli curled his lips and said, "Sorry, I didn't expect that."

Richard didn't really care, shrugged, "It doesn't matter, it's expected. They have no feelings for each other for a long time, they just supported each other for me. You know, it wasn't until recently that I knew my father had a child who was already in elementary school."

Jiang Ruoli didn't know what to say for a moment. Is this really the only possible outcome of a loveless marriage?

"Let's not talk about that. I heard that you got married?"

Richard stared at the pink diamond on her ring finger, his eyes filled with unclear emotions.

Jiang Ruoli pursed his lips, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed across his face, "Well, we're married."

"Is your husband good to you? How did you two meet?"

When studying abroad, Jiang Ruoli did not mention anything about herself, so apart from Xu Mengan, no one else knew that she was Pei Zigui's fiancée at the time.

She raised her left hand and shook the big diamond ring: "We grew up together, and he is willing to spend money on me."

But just now, people laughed at it and said it was just a fake marriage.

Richard frowned slightly, "I mean, as a husband, is he good to you?"

No one had ever asked her this question. As a man, Pei Zigui was indisputably perfect.

If you were a husband...

After a moment's silence, Jiang Ruoli looked up at Richard and said firmly, "My husband treats me very well and is a good husband."

In the private room on the second floor, Pei Zigui leaned against the sofa with his long legs casually folded, listening to President Qi talking about his optimism about the prospects of this cooperation.

In fact, the intention of cooperation had already been finalized. The two of them were just communicating the details today, and the rest would be left to the people below to develop.

They had almost finished chatting, so Mr. Qi relaxed and handed Pei Zigui a cigar.

"Would you mind trying some? Cuban stuff."

"No, my wife doesn't like the smell of smoke." Pei Zigui crossed his legs, looking lazy, his eyes occasionally falling on the screen of his mobile phone.

Why hasn't the little girl come to see her yet? Where did she go to play? It's so cold outside.

Seeing that Pei Zigui was in a good mood today, President Qi also dared to make a joke.

"Boss Pei dotes on his wife. Mrs. Pei is so beautiful, I'm afraid she must have many suitors, right?"

Pei Zigui narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong possessiveness appeared in his dark eyes. He sneered and said in a cold and low voice:

“They don’t dare to snatch people from me.”

President Qi laughed out loud. Only Pei Zigui was qualified to be so confident and arrogant.

"Haha, that's right. We've almost finished talking today. Mr. Pei, why don't we go downstairs and have a drink to relax?"

Thinking that Jiang Ruoli might be downstairs, perhaps eating a small cake at the dessert table, a hint of tenderness flashed across the man's eyes.

He stood up and said, "Let's go."

Several people left the private room one after another.

Pei Zigui seemed to recall something and asked President Qi, "The banquet tonight was well planned. Which company did Qi Feng find to host it?"

President Qi probably didn't expect Pei Zigui to ask this question. He was slightly stunned and said, "It's a planning company that just opened not long ago. President Pei is interested in acquiring it?"

"My wife likes it very much. Ask for her."

Maybe they can hire this company for their anniversary next year.

Several people walked down the stairs while chatting.

The banquet hall was still lively and the atmosphere was more relaxed than before. It was obvious that some people were drunk.

President Qi calmed down, pointed in a certain direction, and said excitedly: "President Pei, that is Richard, the boss of the planning company you asked about. His Chinese name is Richard. Next to him is...Mrs. Pei?"

Mr. Qi was a little uncertain. After all, as a straight man, he only remembered that Mrs. Pei had not worn this dress before.

Looking in the direction of the finger, Pei Zigui's slightly cold gaze fell on a man and a woman who were having a passionate conversation at the dessert table.

Jiang Ruoli didn't know what funny things she heard, and she was smiling at the man in front of her. And the man's eyes stayed on that pretty face, never leaving.

They are all men, and Pei Zigui saw through his thoughts at a glance.

Looking down from afar, watching Jiang Ruoli smile at another man, my heart felt like someone was deliberately suffocating it with plastic paper, sour and suffocating. I just wanted to walk up to her and hug her regardless of anything.

It turns out that she didn't come to see him after changing her clothes because she was entangled with another man. Why do you smile so sweetly to strangers for no reason?

The possessive desire was churning in his heart. Pei Zigui loosened his tie, took a deep breath, and his tone was so cold that no warmth could be heard.

"Excuse me."

Assistant Mott followed his boss silently, carrying a bag in his hand.

On the other side, Jiang Ruoli had been wearing high heels all night and exchanged a few words with Richard. Now her heels were aching.

She moved her feet alternately uncomfortably.

Richard naturally noticed this detail, and as a gentleman, it was impossible for him to ignore it.

"Tired? Do you need help to rest?"

Jiang Ruoli shook his head and smiled politely at Richard, "No need, I'll be leaving in a moment."

She held her phone, ready to ask Pei Zigui when he would finish.

Richard's eyes subconsciously fell on the intimate note, and he was at a loss to avoid it.

"Sir, is this the earring that your female companion dropped?"

The waiter picked up the earrings from the ground and asked respectfully.

Richard looked at Jiang Ruoli's ears. On the round earlobe, only the left earring was left, and the right one was empty.

He opened his palm and was about to take it.

Unexpectedly, the other hand moved faster than his.

"They are indeed my wife's earrings. Give them to me."
