Chapter 84 Dinner Party
He has eaten a lot in Xingyao’s cafeteria in the past two days. The drivers and bodyguards of those artists do not have the same treatment as him. Miss Li is different from those stars in the entertainment industry.
This might be the reason why the young master could accept her.
Liruan squinted her eyes in enjoyment. "The condiments here are different from those of other restaurants, and the soup base is fresh. I can't get enough of it. I simply can't get enough of it."
Xiaoyuan touched her belly and said, "It's hard to say. Let's come again next time. I'll treat you."
Li Ruan nodded: "Okay, you are richer than me, Miss Li!"
Xi Sang: "...Her last name is Li?"
Xiao Yuan was so angry that her eyes widened. "What else? Could it be that my last name is really Yuan?"
Xi Sang: ...
After lunch, Liruan and Xiaoyuan went for a full body treatment and hair style together. Perhaps feeling that she had overdone it at noon, Liruan obediently went to pick up Xi Leng after get off work.
When Xi Leng calmed down, his face was stern and he exuded a low pressure all over his body. He was obviously angry.
Liruan quickly got out of the car, and after he got into her own car, she quickly followed and sat in the back seat.
"Mr. Xi, are you mad at me? Don't be angry, I apologize to you. I was wrong at noon. I shouldn't have only cared about my friends and not you. Can't I change next time?" It's just coaxing people, it won't cost you anything, it's easy to do.
After hearing her apology, Xi Leng's expression was not so cold anymore. He looked at Li Ruan's hand that was pulling his clothes. Fortunately, she knew to give in. She was sensible.
"Don't forget, I'm your financial sponsor. If you stand me up again, I'll deduct your pocket money."
The pear's soft body froze against the man's, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, "Xi Leng, just wait for me!"
Liruan stretched out four fingers and swore solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xi, I have a strong professional ethics and will never make the same mistake again." She will strictly follow the terms of the contract.
The dinner started at 7 o'clock, and the two went straight to get their dresses done. The dress was prepared in advance by Xi Leng. It was a slim-fitting dark gold waist-length ankle-length dress with a V-neck, long sleeves, and a jade belt around the waist that outlined her perfect S-shaped figure. The hem of the skirt shone under the light like countless tiny stars, but the key was that it was very conservative, revealing nothing except the slender neck.
She was wearing a pair of pointed high-heeled shoes in the same color as her feet, her long hair was done into beautiful big waves, and she only had a layer of lip balm on her lips. Her lips were originally a very beautiful pink color, and after applying the lipstick, they sparkled and looked like bouncy jelly, which made people want to kiss her hard and taste her.
Xi Leng changed into the suit that Liruan bought for him, and wore the watch that Liruan bought for him. Liruan's clothes were dark gold, and the pattern on Xi Leng's shirt and the pocket edges of his suit were also dark gold. The two of them standing together looked like they were wearing couple outfits.
Li Ruan placed one hand on Xi Leng's shoulder, touched the man's tie with the other hand and praised him softly: "Mr. Xi, you look really, really handsome today!"
Xi Leng was somewhat happy to be praised, but he still suppressed his expression and asked, "Was I not good-looking before?"
"No, you were good-looking before. You are the most handsome and elegant man I have ever seen. No one in the world can compare to you."
Xi Leng couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He held Li Ruan's hand on his tie and said, "You have good taste."
Liruan: Haha, it turns out he is still a tsundere!
The stylist stood aside and sighed in his heart, these two people are simply the works of the Creator. If they get married, how beautiful will their children be in the future? At 7:10 in the evening, a customized version of Rolls-Royce appeared outside the Four Seasons Hotel. When Li Ruan appeared at the Ji family's banquet with Xi Leng's arm around her, she attracted the attention of countless people.
In the banquet hall, Chen Manting was chatting with a few girls. After noticing something unusual in the hall, she looked towards the door. Suddenly someone asked, "Isn't that Mr. Xi? Who is the woman with Mr. Xi? I've never seen him bring a female companion to such an event before!"
She looks like a vixen. There actually is such a beautiful woman in the world!
Obviously, President Xi's aura was so strong, but he couldn't suppress her aura even a little bit. The two of them even felt like they were evenly matched. It was really strange!
Where on earth did this woman come from?
Chen Manting immediately looked towards the door, and then her expression changed.
A woman next to her curled her lips and said, "She looks a little familiar, like an 18th-tier celebrity. What's the look in Mr. Xi's eyes? He would rather be with a woman like this than Man Ting."
It seemed that she was speaking for Chen Manting. Of course, in her heart, she was indeed speaking for Chen Manting, because her family had business dealings with the Chen family, and her family had told her to be on good terms with Chen Manting.
But, these words directly offended Chen Manting.
What do you mean by leaving our Manting behind? This woman can shut up if she can't talk.
"By the way, Manting, I heard before that Madam Xi wanted to match you with Young Master Xi. Your two families are well matched, and you are childhood sweethearts. You can't let another little devil snatch your man away."
"All those women in the entertainment industry are gold diggers who only want to marry into a wealthy family and climb high up the social ladder. You have to keep a close eye on them!"
Chen Manting felt disdainful. How could the Xi family allow an actor to come in?
She took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, took a sip, and then chuckled, "Don't talk nonsense, I just returned to China, and my mind is all on the company's business. Other things are not within my consideration for the time being."
Li Xinyi was a little angry at her for not fighting back. She and Chen Manting were good friends who grew up together. How could she not know what Chen Manting was thinking?
She went abroad to study alone, and after returning she immediately joined the company and took over the family business, just to be a match for Master Xi.
But now Young Master Xi actually gave up on Pipa. Man Ting must be feeling very upset.
"You are just stupid. If you like someone, just go for it. It's not popular to just hide aside and watch from afar like you."
Chen Manting sighed helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, I just respect Brother Leng's choice."
……
Xi Leng naturally had no idea about what people were talking about here. After he brought Li Ruan into the banquet hall, he was directly welcomed in by Ji Chen, the head of the Ji family.
This man is the president of Xi Group and the prince of Longcheng. He never thought that he would personally attend his father's 80th birthday party. Tonight's banquet is really a grand occasion.
"I didn't expect President Xi to come here in person this time. I heard that Xi's exploration team has found a new oil field. Congratulations to President Xi."
Xi nodded calmly, as if business worth hundreds of billions was a very common thing for him.
In Ji Chen's eyes, his expression showed calmness and maturity. He was obviously about the same age as his son, but he had already reached a height that even their elders could not reach. He was tired of expressing his envy and jealousy.
