Over indulge

Xu Ruining's breath was so close, Lin Jiayue forgot to breathe for a second, and stared at the two people in the mirror in front of her, only then noticed that Xu Ruining also changed into a dress that matched her color, but it was dark blue. She is elegant, mature, cold and conservative, which is in line with her temperament.

The two of them stood together, and they were a perfect match.

"This necklace is too expensive, or..." Lin Jiayue anxiously reached out to take it off.

Xu Ruining hurriedly stopped him, raised his hand to grab Lin Jiayue's hand, and said patiently, "No matter how much it's worth, it's useless without its owner."

Lin Jiayue couldn't believe that such a valuable big blue diamond could be compared to a waste product in Xu Ruining's mouth.

Under Lin Jiayue's surprised and bewildered expression, Xu Ruining continued to grab her hand, and said, "Now, it belongs to you."

This sentence was almost whispered close to the ear, and Lin Jiayue's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

"Okay." Xu Ruining let go of her and moved a little away to look down at the time on the watch. "We are almost ready to go."

Coming downstairs? Zhou Ji had already driven out to wait. It was a stretched Rolls-Royce. He was also standing beside the car in a suit as usual.

Seeing Xu Ruining and Lin Jiayue going downstairs at the same time, Aunt Chen couldn't help showing a look of amazement, and said: "Miss Lin, you are so beautiful, and your body suits our Mr. Xu so well."

Lin Jiayue felt a little shy when she heard that, she pursed her lips and smiled without speaking.

Xu Ruining stepped forward to the side of the car, and Zhou Ji had already helped to open the car door, but she was not in a hurry to get into the car, but turned sideways to let Lin Jiayue get in first, and raised one hand to the side of the car roof.

Zhou Ji is no stranger to this, after all, only Ms. Lin can enjoy Mr. Xu's caring service.

The destination of their trip was the largest hotel in Haigang City, the Harbor Empire Hotel, which was owned by Li Zhenxi's family and the only seven-star hotel in the city. Lin Jiayue only found out after arriving at the destination that she had once been in This meal experience, her tenth birthday that year, her father entertained distinguished guests here, unexpectedly, ten years passed in a flash, and she was already 20 years old when she came again.

Tonight, there are countless luxury cars parked outside the hotel, and there must be a lot of celebrities in the industry.

Lin Jiayue has been to similar parties several times, but most of them were with her parents, and she didn't feel nervous at that time, but this time was different, her palms were already sweating before getting out of the car.

When getting out of the car, Xu Ruining was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Lin Jiayue, "Are you okay?"

Lin Jiayue quickly shook her head: "I'm fine."

Xu Ruining, who had already got out of the car, stretched out his hand to her, barely giving Lin Jiayue a chance to refuse. He led her out of the car and walked all the way in. Many people cast their eyes on them, and some privately discussed it. Some of them were even accidentally overheard by Lin Jiayue.

"Hey, look, isn't that Xu Ruining?"

"Yes, yes, I am too beautiful!"

"Who is the girl next to her? She looks very young."

"Is it a new love? But what? Come to think of it, Xu Ruining has been out for several years. I don't know how long the freshness will last this time."

"That girl looks very well-mannered, she must be some noble lady."

"So what, I'll get tired of playing for a few days."

"..."

Lin Jiayue felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she heard this, as if she was a pet that could be abandoned by its owner at any time.

At this moment, Xu Ruining leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't pay attention to those people."

Then he distanced himself and continued walking.

It was just such a short, simple sentence, and Lin Jiayue suddenly felt that she was in a much better mood, so it could be regarded as a comfort.

Walking into the lobby, the lights are beautiful and resplendent. There is a buffet area, a wine area, and a rest area. The guests who come here are all dressed in noble clothes. There are waiters playing the piano, dancing people, and chatting and joking with champagne.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of Lin Jiayue and Xu Ruining immediately caused quite a stir and became the focus of everyone.

From everyone's surprised eyes, Lin Jiayue could see that she seemed to be wondering who this girl who appeared next to Xu Ruining was, what was her identity, and what was her relationship with Xu Ruining.

At this moment, Li Zhenxi's voice came, clear and loud, and carried through the audience.

"I'm sorry I'm late, our distinguished guest tonight finally arrived as scheduled!"

A path automatically appeared in the crowd, and Li Zhenxi, who was wearing a pure white one-shoulder evening dress, came towards them, still so beautiful and eye-catching, glamorous.

When they came to them, Lin Jiayue was almost the only one in Li Zhenxi's eyes, and she was full of affection for her.

"My little Jiayue, you are so beautiful tonight, I can guarantee that you are the most dazzling one in the audience."

Although she had known Li Zhenxi's personality for a long time, Lin Jiayue still felt very embarrassed in front of such unabashed praise, especially in front of so many people.

It was also at this time that Li Zhenxi noticed the necklace on Lin Jiayue's chest, subconsciously looked at Xu Ruining, and exclaimed: "Old Xu, could this be the one you bought at the auction for 30 billion yuan two years ago? A blue diamond necklace?"

Three? Billion...

This number directly penetrated Lin Jiayue's eardrums. After all, Li Zhenxi's voice was not small, and it was difficult for her not to hear it.

Quietly raised his head to look at the people beside him, Xu Ruining looked disapproving, and said with a slight smile, "Isn't it pretty?"

The corner of Li Zhenxi's mouth twitched, "It's so expensive...of course it looks good..."

A waiter in overalls came over and whispered something in Li Zhenxi's ear. She immediately waved her hand embarrassedly and said, "I have something to deal with? I'll come and see you later." After speaking, she strode away with her skirt in hand.

Today's party, also because of Xu Ruining's appearance, many people came to say hello, trying to get close to him.

And because Xu Ruining had Lin Jiayue by his side, he kept putting on a good face, trying to make himself a little more approachable than usual.

"I am Wang Lai from Yaosheng Real Estate. It is a great pleasure to meet you and I look forward to future cooperation."

"I'm from Qinghe Food Co., Ltd..."

"I'm…"

"..."

After Li Zhenxi left, everyone gathered around like a swarm of bees and introduced themselves one after another. In Lin Jiayue's eyes, Xu Ruining was like a piece of attractive honey among the crowd, and the bees scattered around.

Can you see it? Xu Ruining is very reluctant, barely restraining his temper and maintaining his patience on the surface. If it were normal, he might not respond.

Looking around, Lin Jiayue noticed that in a corner not far away, there was a woman sitting on the sofa. From here, she could only see her back. The woman was wearing a dark black dress, with shawl hair, and the tail of her hair was slightly turned outward? , is a specially made hairstyle, which is able to line up.

Only she didn't come over to say hello, and she didn't even take a look at her. Compared with those who tried to curry favor with Xu Ruining, she looked very arrogant.

After not looking at it for too long, Lin Jiayue looked away, Xu Ruining also dismissed those people, and asked her instead: "Do you want to eat something?"

It just so happened that Lin Jiayue was a little hungry and didn't eat much in the cafeteria at noon, so she said, "The dining area is over there, I'll go by myself."

I thought Xu Ruining would let her go, but I didn't expect that it was followed by a sentence: "I will accompany you."

Lin Jiayue: ...

This is to stay close at every step, and she is not a three-year-old child, so she will not get lost.

In this way, the two came to the dining area one after the other, and Xu Ruining almost followed Lin Jiayue closely, like an adult watching his child go out, with such a sense of sight.

Lin Jiayue held the dinner plate and picked two pieces of sushi, a little beef, a few purple grapes, and a glass of orange juice for herself.

Find a seat nearby to sit down?, thinking about filling my stomach before talking.

Xu Ruining didn't eat anything, just brought a glass of wine over, and sat there quietly, opposite Lin Jiayue.

Lin Jiayue thought that this person probably wanted to watch her eat again, so she was used to it, and this feeling was not annoying.

As soon as he picked up a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth, Li Zhenxi floated over from nowhere and said with a smile, "So you are here~"

Lin Jiayue closed her mouth and chewed slowly, but Li Zhenxi stepped forward and took Lin Jiayue's arm and said, "Xiao Jiayue, go and play the first piece."

Lin Jiayue went down? The consciousness stopped the movement of the mouth, in a daze, why so suddenly.

"Tonight's musicians don't know what's wrong. They don't play to their liking. I heard Lao Xu said that you are very good. I also want to see and see. You shouldn't refute my face, right?" Li Zhenxi said kindly.

Lin Jiayue forced a smile. Naturally, she was too embarrassed to refuse such a low request.

Immediately after, Li Zhenxi looked at Xu Ruining and said, "Old Xu, you shouldn't let me go, right?"

Xu Ruining followed her words and replied, "I'm not a stingy person."

Lin Jiayue thinks? This sentence is not true.

Just like that, Li Zhenxi pulled Lin Jiayue away from the dining table, and Xu Ruining followed closely behind, never leaving.

When they arrived at the performance area, Xu Ruining did not choose to move forward, but stayed in the auditorium and waited, quietly watching Li Zhenxi lead Lin Jiayue to sit in front of a piano.

Looking at the piano in front of her, Lin Jiayue just touched it lightly, and judged that it was also an expensive piano. After all, it is a seven-star hotel, so it is impossible to use a very ordinary piano.

"Okay, the stage here will be handed over to you." Li Zhenxi finished this sentence softly, turned and walked away with a smile.

Lin Jiayue sat upright, took a deep breath to adjust her breathing, and began to flip through the music scores in her mind, with her ten fingers on the keys ready to go.

Li Zhenxi returned to Xu Ruining and stood beside Xu Ruining, with smiling eyes. It was also at this time that Xu Ruining noticed the existence of another person from the corner of his eye, and all of a sudden his face became serious.

"Why is she here?" Li Zhenxi didn't react at first, followed Xu Ruining's gaze, and asked tentatively, "Are you referring to Zhou Cijing?"

Xu Ruining remained silent.

Li Zhenxi was a little flustered, guilty and wanted to appease Xu Ruining, "It's like this, our family has business dealings with her recently, so..."

"How you treat her has nothing to do with me. Tell me in advance that she will come and I won't." Xu Ruining's eyes were cold.

"Look at you, I knew you would be like this, that's why I didn't dare to tell you. Besides, the central character tonight is Xiao Jiayue, old Xu, will you be patient?" Li Zhenxi persuaded.

Xu Ruining kept silent again, and looked up at the girl who started playing the piano.

The sound of the piano sounded, and many people at the dance found that the musician had changed, from a middle-aged man in the Mediterranean to a young and beautiful girl, and attracted them one after another.

Lin Jiayue concentrated on playing the piano, and didn't pay attention to what was going on underneath.

Li Zhenxi knows the reason. Xu Ruining and Zhou Cijing have always been at odds. This feud is not manifested on the personal level, but on the career level. The two of them hardly have any contact in private, but they often fight to the death in business. .

As we all know, Xu Ruining is No.1 on the national rich list, far away from No.2, and has been No.1 for ten years.

And Zhou Cijing is the No. 2. Although his wealth is far less than Xu Ruining's, he still has hundreds of billions, and he is one of the top figures in Haigang City.

This woman's methods in business are even more vicious, and she is also a person who counts pennies and pennies. Li Zhenxi deals with her because of the family business, and when she learns about the party she is preparing, the other party offers to come, and she can't refuse.

It was also at this time that the woman in a black dress sitting quietly in the corner raised her head when she heard the sound of the piano, and looked at the girl playing the piano not far away, with a playful and complicated smile on the corner of her mouth.
