Run away! The domineering president's strong love
Chapter 10 Banquet Troubles
The law firm was busy with a big case during this period, and Xu Yang put a lot of effort into this case. He went on a business trip a few days ago, and Mingzhu didn't want to disturb him when he met with the client today. But too many things happened today, and Mingzhu felt wronged, so she called him.
As soon as Xu Yang picked up the phone, Mingzhu called his name and burst into tears. Xu Yang panicked and hated that he couldn't be with her right away.
After learning about the situation, he checked the injuries through video and patiently comforted her for a long time. With Xu Yang's comfort, Mingzhu gradually calmed down, but she was also worried.
So, will a man who is unruly, cold-blooded, and as unfathomable as a tiger or wolf really give up easily?
Since the last in-depth conversation with Gu Huaijin, Mingzhu has not received any more flowers, nor has she been arranged to attend any gatherings. Gu Huaijin seems to have disappeared from her world.
After discussing with Qi Qiao, they both felt that Gu Huaijin had given up because of the difficulty. Xu Yang's case was about to reach the final hearing, and he would return to Beijing soon.
Mingzhu waited for Xu Yang to come back while quietly recovering from her wounds and writing her thesis at school. The wound had already scabbed over, and she began to apply scar-removing medicine. Every time she applied the cold ointment to the wound, Mingzhu would always think of Gu Huaijin's domineering way of holding her down to apply the ointment, and the worry hidden in his icy black eyes.
In the morning, Mingzhu was awakened by a phone call from Jin Minghao. Her brother reminded Mingzhu that it was her aunt's birthday today and she should remember to attend. The Jin family had few descendants, and by the time of Mingzhu's father's generation, there were only his father and his aunt.
Many years ago, the only sister-in-law married into the Sheng family in Beijing and gave birth to a son, Sheng Yichen. Jin's father treated this only sister very well, and the two sides have always had close contacts.
Although Mingzhu disliked the complicated interpersonal relationships among the upper class, which were full of intrigues and flattery, her aunt treated her as her own daughter, so there was no reason for her not to go to the birthday party.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the servants of the Sheng family are busy preparing for Mrs. Sheng's birthday banquet. The castle under the afterglow of the setting sun looks particularly romantic and solemn. The lake is full of golden light and the shadows are reflected on the wall.
The wide open-air banquet by the lake was going on lively, with the band playing soothing music. The Sheng family was one of the four great noble families in Beijing. It happened to be Mrs. Sheng's 50th birthday banquet, and the newly rich and wealthy ladies gathered here. The place was full and lively.
"Yichen, happy birthday to Aunt Sheng! It's so lively tonight." Lin Shaoyu exclaimed sincerely.
"My mother doesn't like crowds, but the 50th birthday party can't be simple, we have to have a good start." Sheng Yichen said. "Shaoyu and the third brother are here today, and my mother will definitely be very happy to see them later."
Sheng Yichen is a few years younger than Gu Huaijin and Lin Shaoyu. The three of them have been friends since they were young. The families have close business ties and the elders are all familiar with each other. They also grew up under the watchful eyes of Madam Sheng, and they must be present to congratulate on important occasions such as birthdays.
Gu Huaijin held a glass of champagne and looked at the crowd not far away, who were toasting and chatting. The noise was so loud but boring. His outstanding figure and aura made him stand out from the crowd.
The noble ladies naturally noticed him. At this time, a woman came over to chat with him, but he politely rejected her before she could say a few words. The woman left disappointed.
Lin Shaoyu noticed the man's expression and teased, "Third brother, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about your little fox?"
"What little fox?" Sheng Yichen came over immediately with a gossipy look on his face.
"Let me tell you, Third Brother has fallen in love with someone recently..." Lin Shaoyu was talking incessantly when the man gave him a cold look and forced him to shut up.
"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me."
At this time, Madam Sheng came over to talk to them. Madam Sheng looked at the children with a loving face, and suddenly remembered that her little girl had not come yet.
"Yichen, the party is about to start. Why hasn't your sister Wan Wan come yet?"
"Mom, the driver has gone to pick me up and will be here soon." He was always well-behaved in front of his mother.
"Go to the door to pick her up. She is afraid of dogs. Don't let the dog scare her." Mrs. Sheng instructed carefully.
At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter came from outside the door, and a girl carrying an evening dress and wearing high heels walked in quickly.
As soon as she entered the room, she hugged Madam Sheng and pecked her twice on both sides of her face. "Happy birthday, little aunt! Forever eighteen years old! I was busy getting your gift just now." The girl said as she handed the exquisite gift box in her hand to Madam Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng was amused by the girl and giggled, "I'm fifty years old, but I'm still eighteen. Our Xiaoxiao has the sweetest little mouth."
When she opened the gift box, she found a medieval retro pearl necklace with exquisite inlay workmanship, round pearls and glittering brilliance. It was obvious at a glance that it was very valuable. It matched Mrs. Sheng's gentle and noble temperament very well. When she first saw it, Mrs. Sheng felt happy.
"This is the gift I chose and my eldest brother paid for it. I hope my youngest aunt likes it."
"Thank you for your kindness, my dear. I like it very much." Madam Sheng held Mingzhu's hand, moved with emotion, tears flashing in her eyes. After putting away the gift, she took her hand and introduced, "These are Yichen's friends, Huaijin and Shaoyu."
Gu Huaijin noticed Mingzhu as soon as she came in, but she didn't see him at all, and was only busy being intimate with Madam Sheng. He looked at her delicate little hand for a few more times, and was relieved to see that she was almost healed.
Only then did Mingzhu notice the cold Gu Huaijin standing beside her, and she just wanted to close her eyes, rewind the tape, and disappear from the spot.
Now she avoided Gu Huaijin like the snake and scorpion. If she knew Gu Huaijin was here, she would never come.
"Huai Jin, Shao Yu, this is Yi Chen's cousin, my niece Kan Kan. They are all young people, you should get to know them." Mrs. Sheng introduced them warmly.
Jin Mingzhu suppressed her emotions, forced a smile, and pretended that they were meeting for the first time. "Hello!"
The corners of Gu Huaijin's lips slightly lifted up, showing a hint of a smile. "Hello, Xianxian." The last two words were pronounced a little frivolously.
"Third brother, isn't this Jin Mingzhu?" Lin Shaoyu said from the side.
"Do you know each other?" Mrs. Sheng asked doubtfully.
Mingzhu quickly said, "I don't know him. This is the first time we meet today."
"Mr. Lin is really good at fortune-telling. He knows everything about astronomy and geography. Mingzhu is my name." Mingzhu smiled flatteringly, and her eyes gestured wildly. The other party understood and kept silent.
"Well, you young people have common topics, so talk more. Let's go over there and have something to eat later." After saying this, Mrs. Sheng turned and left.
"Ms. Mingzhu, you are actually Yichen's cousin?" Lin Shaoyu asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Go away! What cousin? You're just a yellow-haired girl. You should be my younger sister." Sheng Yichen couldn't say anything to this "cousin" who was two years younger than him.
Mingzhu chuckled. This cousin deserved to be punished. "You can't speak, right? Sister Wan Wan will help you." She twisted Sheng Yichen's ear. Her tone was full of tenderness and her movements were smooth and flowing.
Mingzhu used all her strength, and Sheng Yichen screamed. The grand scene here attracted the attention of the people around, and Sheng Yichen felt that his face was completely lost.
How could he dare to go against this little girl? While trying to save his ears that were twisted red, he spoke in a servile manner. "Sister, sister, my good sister."
Hearing the answer, Mingzhu immediately let go and patted Sheng Yichen's head with satisfaction, "Good brother."
Lin Shaoyu and Gu Huaijin usually saw Sheng Yichen fearless in Beijing and decisive in handling things. Everyone outside called him Master Sheng, but who would have thought that he turned into a shy and cute kitten in front of Jin Mingzhu? The contrast was so strong that they dared not look directly at him.
It was also the first time that Gu Huaijin saw Jin Mingzhu like this: willful, willful, erratic, and overbearing.
Sheng Yichen rubbed his red ears and blurted out: "Jin Mingzhu, you are so fierce, which man will dare to marry a tigress like you in the future."
"I will marry her." Gu Huaijin stared at her and said seriously.
Mingzhu saw her cousin speaking ill of her and was about to step forward to deal with Sheng Yichen and let him feel the power of blood suppression. When she heard this, she was stunned.
