Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She had participated in a variety show so ti ago and beca popular on the Internet, but this did not an that everyone knew ng Chuyuan. Moreover, Lu Qingye had not officially brought her with him to events to show her face.
The cocktail party had yet to begin, and the guests had yet to arrive. ng Chuyuan had only been there for half an hour when she t seven n. They took the initiative to approach her and left her their contact details before leaving.
Perhaps it was because this scene attracted the attention of others and she was sitting alone in the corner, so she attracted the attention of many people.
Not far away, a man was staring at ng Chuyuan’s side profile. When he saw her smiling at the n who kept appearing beside her, he was a little curious and asked his good friend beside him, “Who’s that woman? Is she an internet celebrity?”
“I’ve never seen her before.”
The man swirled the wine glass in his hand. His eyes were filled with greed as he muttered, “What a peerless beauty.”
“Don’t tell you like her?” The man beside him seed to have read his mind. He looked up in ng Chuyuan’s direction and saw that she was wearing a wedding ring. He forced a smile. “She’s wearing such a big ring. She might be a married woman.”
“Have you ever seen a married woman look like this? I saw it just now. Several n tried to hit on her, but this little beauty didn’t reject them.”
The last man who had gone over to look for her was staying a little longer. ng Chuyuan looked indifferent. She ate the small cake in her hand casually and let the person beside her talk.
ng Chuyuan finished the last bite of cheesecake. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, soone suddenly stepped forward to help her out and chased the man beside her away. “Sir, I’m sorry. This is my seat.”
The man sitting next to ng Chuyuan could only leave dejectedly.
Hearing a voice behind her, ng Chuyuan looked back and saw that the man who had helped her out was wearing a flirtatious floral suit. When he saw her turn around, he even winked at her.
ng Chuyuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. However, out of courtesy, she forced a smile. “Thank you.”
“Shall we be friends?”
He was the man who had been observing ng Chuyuan for a long ti. He originally wanted to wait for the person just now to leave before coming over to talk to her. However, he realized that the other party had no intention of leaving at all, so he took the initiative to walk over and chase him away.
The man had one hand in his pocket and half a glass of red wine in the other. He took the initiative to approach ng Chuyuan. Then, he took out a small card from his pocket and handed it to her. He said softly, “I’m different from them.”
ng Chuyuan’s gaze swept across his face, then slowly landed on the business card in his hand.
She hesitated for a mont before reaching out to take it. She realized that the man had not only given her his business card, but also a room card.
After seeing the room card clearly, ng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows without batting an eyelid. She looked at the man in front of her and smiled awkwardly. “Is this what you ant by different?”
The man didn’t say anything. He raised the cup in his hand slightly and smiled at her before leaving.
“…” ng Chuyuan stared at the room card and business card in her hand for a while. There was no emotion in her eyes. She did not have the habit of littering. She picked up the stack of business cards on the table and took them away.
ng Chuyuan stood up and walked towards the entrance of the hall. Just as she was about to find a trash can to dispose of the things in her hands, she bumped into Lu Qingye, who had just arrived.
“Why are you here?” Lu Qingye was surprised to see ng Chuyuan at the cocktail party.
ng Chuyuan said, “If you had told that you would co, I wouldn’t have appeared.”
The two of them did not communicate privately about the cocktail party. ng Chuyuan thought that he had other things to deal with, so he did not ntion this invitation.
Lu Qingye had just gotten off work and rushed over from the company. Beside him was a burly man wearing gold-rimd glasses. He looked rather gentle and refined. He was the vice president of the Lu Corporation, Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi saw ng Chuyuan, he called her sister-in-law and turned to Lu Qingye. “I’ll go in first.”
With his hands in his pockets, Lu Qingye walked up to her and asked curiously, “Where are you going?”
He did not ask about the invitation. After all, he did not take this matter to heart. He was still wearing the suit he had worn to work this morning. He wanted to co over and greet soone before leaving.
However, he did not expect ng Chuyuan to receive their invitation as well.
She looked up at Lu Qingye and said softly, “I’m tired from playing. I want to go back and rest.”
“I’ll go back with you.”
ng Chuyuan took a step forward in her high heels. Her height reached Lu Qingye’s chin.
“Don’t. You’re already here. How can you just turn around and leave?” She looked at Lu Qingye with a smile and stuffed the stack of business cards into his breast pocket.
Lu Qingye felt sothing poking at his chest. When he looked down, he realized that ng Chuyuan had given him sothing.
She even patted it gently after stuffing it in.
“What’s this?” Lu Qingye was a little curious. He subconsciously raised his hand to take it out to take a look, but ng Chuyuan deliberately blocked it with her hand and did not let him touch it.
ng Chuyuan looked up again and t his eyes. She said softly, “I won’t go in with you.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Staring at her back as she left, Lu Qingye’s eyes dimd and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
She did not say anything just now, but he seed to be able to sense that ng Chuyuan was not in a good mood.
Could it be because he did not bring her to the cocktail party tonight?
It was not until ng Chuyuan’s figure completely disappeared from his sight that Lu Qingye ca back to his senses. He reached out and took the things out of his pocket.
At first glance, he felt that it was quite normal. It was just a business card. However, when he flipped to the back, he saw a room card that was thicker than the business card. His eyes were cold.
“Why are you in a daze?” Perhaps because he saw him standing outside in a daze, Jiang Yi quickly walked out to call him. He lowered his eyes and accidentally saw Lu Qingye holding a pile of business cards. He asked curiously, “Where did you get so many business cards? You just returned to the country and soone wants to curry favor with you?”
Lu Qingye put the room card into his pocket and handed the remaining business card to Jiang Yi. “Rember these companies.”
“Why should I rember them?” Jiang Yi casually took them and looked at them one by one. He realized that they were all small companies and said with a smile, “You don’t really want to work with them, do you?”
These small companies were useless to the Lu Corporation and had no value.
Jiang Yi thought that he was in a daze because he was considering working with them. When he looked up, his eyes t Lu Qingye’s. Then, he heard him say coldly, “What do you think?”
Seeing Lu Qingye’s gloomy face, it was obvious that he was unhappy.
Therefore, cooperation was definitely impossible.
Jiang Yi raised his hand and made an “okay” gesture. Then, he put all the business cards into his pocket and said tactfully, “I understand.”
