Chapter 679: The Prince Chose the Princess (1)
Xu Weilai quickly restrained the emotions in her eyes. She lifted the corner of her lips slightly. “Big Boss, trying to assu the role of a Prince Charming today?”
Zuo An was caught off-guard by her question. He replied with a smile, “Should I co riding a white horse?”
“Sure, I’ll wait for you to co riding one.”
Qiao Chu ca forward and soft reminded Zuo An, “Mr. Zuo, it’s ti to make your entrance.”
Only then they ended their aningless conversation. Zuo An raised his arm in front of Xu Weilai and said gently, “Put your arm around mine.”
Xu Weilai did as he said and held his arm.
Zuo An and Xu Weilai, who were dressed in white, created a huge contrast against Gu Yu and Zuo Si, who were both clad in black. In addition to that, they were extrely good-looking couples, not to ntion the complicated relationships they had between all four of them. They instantly beca the center of everyone’s attention once they stepped on the red carpet.
Almost everyone knew that Gu Corporation and Zuo Corporation would soon be united by marriage. Not too long ago, Gu Yu and Xu Weilai’s was still seen publicly displaying their affections, followed by their high-profile divorce. Then, the addition of a newcor Zuo An who forced his way into Gu Corporation. Although his identity was yet to be confird, he was speculated to be sohow related to Zuo Si as they had the sa surna. Everyone seed to be gathered here at the banquet for the good show to start.
However, they were still amazed by Xu Weilai’s capability from what she ca through. She was abandoned by her then-fiance Gu Yu three years ago and hence faced group mockery. She returned three years later and still got herself married to Gu Yu, which shut every mouth that previously mocked her.
When the second separation happened, she was expected to be crowned the abandoned wife again. However, the entire web ridiculed Gu Yu for his cold-blooded action of leaving his first wife instead.
Now, she was linked to Zuo An, who was currently the hottest persona of the business world in her reappearance in the eyes of the public.
She was certainly full of surprises.
The organizer of the banquet was the president of the Chamber of Comrce. He first greeted Gu Yu and Zuo Si, then ca over to greet Zuo An and Xu Weilai. His gaze would occasionally fall on Xu Weilai as if he was sizing her up. However, he still showed her courtesy as a host.
Xu Weilai knew very well that all of them regarded her as Zuo An’s new interest. Else, she would be getting all the cold shoulders instead of polite greetings.
It was an extrely realistic circle.
Zuo An was the nouveau riche or new rich. Hence, there were continuous streams of people that ca to greet him and to get acquainted. They kept toasting him but Xu Weilai drank with all of them on his behalf. After all, she wanted to be a competent female companion, and... she would have the perfect excuse to get drunk.
Her face slightly reddened from alcohol flush after a round of drinking. Zuo An helped her to the sofa and let her sat down. He then brought her a glass of warm water. “Rest for a while. Actually, I don’t need you to drink for .”
Xu Weilai leaned lazily against the sofa. She lifted her eyelids and looked towards Gu Yu and Zuo Si, who were surrounded by the mass of people at the center of the banquet hall. “I have to put on a good show. If I don’t act like I’m drunk because I am broken-hearted, how can I magnify Gu Yu’s ruthlessness? Big Boss, rember to give a raise for my dedication to my work, alright?”
Always with her salary.
Zuo An couldn’t help but muttered, “Little money-grubber.”
“No, I am indeed poor. It’s my pride that doesn’t allow to owe Gu Yu money, so I’ll earn every penny I can.”
Zuo An smiled helplessly, “Alright, I’ll give you a raise.”
“Thank you, Boss. I’ve been instantly revived. Let’s go, Let’s start the second round.”
“...”
The guests gradually arrived at the party and drove the atmosphere towards the climax. The President of the Chamber of Comrce was to begin his speech, which prompted everyone to surround him.
