C12 The Man at the Cocktail Party

Seven o'clock at night, the party officially begins.

The venue was luxurious, and everyone had come in a bright and beautiful manner. Everyone gathered in groups of three to five to talk loudly.

It was Shi Xiaoxi's first time attending a cocktail party with Gu Chenming. Fortunately, due to work, she had seen all kinds of big and small events. Therefore, when faced with all kinds of people, she was not afraid at all.

Most of the people attending the cocktail party were people with status and reputation. When they saw that Gu Chenming did not bring Shen Ruochu, no one asked about it. They even greeted her politely.

After the small talk, Gu Chenming had to get to business. After all, this kind of cocktail party was always the first thing to do to establish connections and work.

Gu Chenming asked her to stroll around. He said that he would come to find her after he was done with his work. Shi Xiaoxi had long drooled over delicious food, so she smiled and nodded before walking away.

Shi Xiaoxi did not know anyone in this room, and no one pulled her along to gossip. She was also happy and at ease. She found a corner and began to feast on the delicious food.

After eating and drinking enough, she played on her phone and clicked on WeChat. She found that there was not a single good friend message. Shi Xiaoxi knew that Lyi Wan had gotten angry because of her rejection of Kang Zeyu during this period of time. She thought that she had to go and coax her.

Perhaps it was because she was entranced by the phone that she did not hear anything behind her until she heard someone with ill intentions asking, "Miss, are you alone?"

Shi Xiaoxi turned around and saw an unfamiliar face. She seriously recalled and did not seem to have met in the small talk just now. Being polite, she still smiled and said, "No."

That person did not leave and did not give up and opened his mouth again, "Miss, if you do not mind, can you dance with me?"

The man seemed to be in his thirties. He was drunk and his steps were not stable.

Shi Xiaoxi saw that he was drunk and politely declined. "Sir, you are drunk. Let's dance next time."

Most people who could attend this kind of cocktail party were either rich or noble, and the man in front of her was naturally no exception. Perhaps he was used to being flattered by others, but Shi Xiaoxi's refusal made him very unhappy. In addition to the fact that he was drunk, he directly grabbed Shi Xiaoxi's arm. The touch of an unfamiliar man made Shi Xiaoxi push him reflexively. The man fell to the ground with unsteady steps.

Shi Xiaoxi glanced at the man. She did not want to cause any trouble. She thought that peace would make money, so she turned around and walked to another place. Who knew that the man was not willing to let her go. He got up from the ground and grabbed Shi Xiaoxi's skirt. Fortunately, she was quick enough to grab the skirt so that it would not cause a tragedy.

Shi Xiaoxi was a little angry. She ignored the man's kick and took back the skirt. At the same time, she also coldly warned, "Sir, please behave yourself."

In these years as food blogger, Shi Xiaoxi had suffered a lot but because of this, she had a stronger and independent heart. She never bullied others but she also would not allow others to bully her.

But it was because of her that Gu Chenming turned a blind eye to her for eight years.

Men would always have a desire to conquer beautiful things, so this man in front of him did not restrain himself. He even boldly grabbed her wrist and Shi Xiaoxi forcefully shook off his hand. She picked up the red wine bottle on the table and smashed it onto the ground.

The dark red red wine mixed with broken glass splashed all over the floor. The man's drunkenness also woke up by more than half. He looked at Shi Xiaoxi and was slightly stunned.

It should be known that this was Gu Chenming's cocktail party, and Shi Xiaoxi was causing trouble like this...

The man returned to his senses and scolded first, "Miss, you ruined Mr. Gu's cocktail party. Do you think you can bear the responsibility?"

Before Shi Xiaoxi could refute, the phone in her hand started to buzz. She looked down and found that it was the nanny who called. Afraid that something would happen to her grandmother, she turned around and picked up the phone, "Mrs Wu, what's wrong?"

Mrs Wu's voice was slightly flustered, "Miss Shi, there is a man at home. He insisted that he was your boyfriend and the madame welcomed him in happily..."
