C14 Elegance(1)
Today's banquet was magnificent.
Situ Yu was a prodigy in the area of gems. He was already an outstanding jewelry expert at the age of 28. He was also the renowned Crown Prince, Situ Ming's sole successor.
Today's female lead was the Mayor of Xiamen, Qian Jin, so this engagement was definitely not an easy thing to do.
The guests who came to attend the engagement banquet were also outstanding people in various fields and their lineup was not much worse than the press conference organized by Tiancheng.
The Imperial International Hotel was considered one of the most high-end hotels in Xiamen.
In the past, the businesses under Yuan Hua Group were all taken over by Chuangfei Group after the financial crisis!
And the reason why the betrothal feast was chosen here was because the relationship between Wang Zhaoji and Mayor Qiu was extraordinary.
With the engagement ceremony being such a big matter, Chuangfei Group would naturally not let go of this opportunity to curry favor with him.
Situ Yu looked at Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression. Only now did he feel awkward. After all, he was his former lover.
"Ugh …" "Go back to your work, Tao Zi and I will take a stroll around." Xiaoxiao said carefully.
Today, Situ Yu was the main character, so he couldn't stay here with her. Although she still missed him, she didn't want to bring him any trouble.
After Situ Yu left, Xiaoxiao and Tao Zi found a corner and quietly looked at the crowd.
The men were all in suits and the women in elegant evening dresses.
Looking at herself, only she and Tao Zi wore work uniforms. Their attire was out of place with such a grand scene.
Therefore, it was better to not be the focus of attention when one came to the corner.
As he lifted his gaze, he saw a pair of people standing on the wall, surrounded by stars. Unknowingly, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
She sniffed and her eyelashes moved. Her swollen red eyes slowly returned to normal.
"Xiaoxiao, you're just an undead cockroach. Remember, don't let anything defeat you!" She softly but firmly encouraged herself, but the pain in her heart became clearer.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Tao Zi said in concern.
Xiaoxiao forcefully pursed her lips and showed a bright smile. "I'm fine."
At this moment, a man passed by.
The man was tall, and from her visual angle she could only see his chin.
The man's shirt was open by two buttons at random, and the golden phoenix pendant around his neck was vivid and lifelike.
Seeing the pendant, Xiaoxiao felt a sense of déjà vu!
"Wait!" Xiaoxiao immediately pulled back the silver-grey figure that was passing by her.
Tao Zi was confused and confused by Xiaoxiao's sudden action. She thought to herself, "When did Xiaoxiao meet such a handsome guy?"
The man who was caught lowered his eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao with a pair of narrow and long phoenix-like eyes.
He was obviously held back by a girl, and he had some doubts. However, when he saw Xiaoxiao, he changed it to a very gentlemanly smile. "Miss, may I ask what you need?"
"I …" Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at the source of the sound and was stunned.
Xiaoxiao wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. Tao Zi was even more so. She had never expected to see so many handsome men in a row, each one even more handsome than the last.
The handsome guy in front of him was a bit more feminine than Tiancheng.
The man's appearance was similar to the Korean celebrity Li Junji. His body was similar to a model, wearing a silver-gray handmade suit that accentuated his elegance and elegance!
Soon, Xiaoxiao retracted her infatuated gaze.
The man was good-looking, but it had nothing to do with her. The golden phoenix pendant that the man wore around his neck aroused Xiaoxiao's strong curiosity.
Because this pendant gave her a sense of déjà vu. She must have seen it somewhere before, but now she couldn't remember where.
The man smiled elegantly and said softly, "If Miss has nothing else, I will be leaving first."
"Oh …"
Xiaoxiao had a thoughtful expression on her face. However, she couldn't remember where she had seen the necklace before, so she had to let him pass.
Even when the man had walked far away, she was still unable to recall where she had seen him.
"Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect you to be so bold as to think of such a way to strike up a conversation." Tao Zi teased and enviously said.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" "It's not what you think. I just thought I'd seen him somewhere, but I suddenly can't remember where."
"I also think he looks familiar. He looks like Li Junji. Xiaoxiao, do you think you can just admit that you like handsome guys?" "You're still like this even after being with me, you really aren't friends enough!" Tao Zi pretended to be angry.
Xiaoxiao was speechless again!
He turned his head and saw Situ Yu and Qiu Kexin once again. His expression immediately became gloomy.
Xiaoxiao was beginning to regret coming here today.
Looking at the pair of handsome men and women who were equally matched in every aspect, her heart throbbed with an indescribable pain. It was as if there was a mixer inside her body that was constantly churning her internal organs, making her feel as if she was suffocating.
However, on the surface, she pretended that nothing had happened and didn't want anyone to see her pain.
Tao Zi sat here with Xiaoxiao for a while before feeling bored. She didn't care about her outfit or whether it was suitable for the occasion as she walked into the crowd alone.
"Xiaoxiao."
A magnetic voice, mixed with a slightly complicated tone, sounded from not too far away in front of Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Situ Yu, who was being held by Qiu Ke's hand, and felt an indescribable pain in her heart!
Xiaoxiao, she reminded herself, you have to pull yourself together!
There's nothing left between you, you've let go, don't be embarrassed like an abandoned bitch!
"Big brother Yu!"
Xiaoxiao instantly put on a smile. She purposely added a big brother to his name because she didn't want to be misunderstood by her fiancée!
Situ Yu smiled awkwardly.
Situ Yu didn't introduce Qiu Kexin to her.
Although the main characters of this banquet were Situ Yu and Qiu Kexin, due to etiquette, Situ Yu should also introduce Qiu Kexin to his friends.
But Situ Yu didn't. This made Qiu Ke feel a little disappointed.
Xiaoxiao looked at the handsome man and woman in front of her in pairs. She lowered her gaze to look at herself, feeling ashamed for a moment.
"I have a friend over there. I'll go find her!" Just as she turned around to leave, Situ Yu called out to her.
Xiaoxiao had just turned around when she heard Situ Yu calling her name behind her. She suddenly had the urge to cry.
Even though he knew they were no longer possible, he still couldn't help but think about things he shouldn't have imagined.
She let out a long breath, then turned around and put on a bright smile. "Is there anything else, Brother Yu?"
She caught a glimpse of the beautiful, noble woman, and suddenly felt humiliated.
Situ Yu carefully removed his arm from Qiu Kexin's hand. He walked slowly to Xiaoxiao and lowered his gaze. His originally clear eyes were now filled with complicated emotions. Looking at the gentle and moving Xiaoxiao, he gently swept his big palm across her head.
"Don't go yet, I'll send you back in a while!"
When Qiu Ke saw Situ Yu act as if no one else was around, he couldn't help but get angry. But since she was the daughter of the mayor, she hid her anger and squinted her eyes to see what Xiaoxiao was going to do next.
"I …" Xiaoxiao was in a bit of a dilemma.
"There's no need to trouble Young Master Situ."
Xiaoxiao was about to reject Situ Yu when a lousy Chinese voice came from behind her. Immediately after that, a long arm wrapped around her small waist.
