Although the beauty was standing a little far away and half of her face was covered by a black veil, the half of her face that was exposed was enough to tell that she was a great beauty.

Before he could look more closely, he saw the woman smiling at him.

Then he gracefully raised the wine glass in his hand, tilted his head slightly, poured the champagne in the glass into his mouth, and drank it all.

Whether out of politeness or because of the other person's appearance, since the girl toasted him and she had already finished her drink, he naturally had to drink it.

So he also tilted his head back and poured all the wine in the glass into his throat.

He knew that there were only two kinds of women who could come to the birthday party: one who was brought by someone or one who came from a prominent family, so he thought she was the latter.

He even thought he was lucky to be favored by such a beautiful woman. No matter what she asked him to do, he would try his best to satisfy her.

What he didn't know was that what the other party wanted was his life.

When he finished the wine in his glass and looked at the place where the girl had just stood, there was indeed no one there.

He Xiaobei watched Feng Guosheng drink all the wine, then turned and walked towards Qi Yang, wanting to tell him that he was leaving first.

But just as she put her arm around Qi Yang's arm, she saw the man opposite Qi Yang. Her eyes lit up instantly. Gu Hanyun was actually here too.

It has to be said that temperament is something very metaphysical. If you have it, you have it. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Others can’t learn it even if they want to.

As long as the other person stands in front of her and doesn't need to do anything, she will feel that the other person has a wonderful attraction.

But she immediately lowered her head again. There is a saying:

You can’t hide your love for one person, so if you like two people, you have to hide it well.

She calmed herself down, then politely nodded slightly to Gu Hanyun, then turned her head and said to Qi Yang:

"I want to leave first. Have fun."

Although He Xiaobei's eyes were quickly retracted just now, there was no way he could avoid the two smart people in front of him.

Qi Yang felt as if a fire was ignited in his heart. That fire might be possession, or perhaps jealousy.

He took He Xiaobei's hand off his arm, held it in his own, and responded gently:

"Okay, let Aaron take you home first. If you are tired, just rest first. Don't wait for me. I may be home late."

Although Qi Yang's tone was not ambiguous and he didn't say anything special, he still said everything.

Oh, this is really the art of language.

He Xiaobei nodded, let go of his hand, turned around and left the banquet hall.

She felt that the people here were really boring. They all had greed and hypocrisy on their faces and were not fun at all.

After leaving the banquet hall, there was a servant waiting outside. When he saw her, he immediately made a gesture to invite her in:

"Miss, I'll take you out."

He Xiaobei nodded and followed the servant towards the parking lot. As soon as he entered, he heard a small noise.

They turned around a rockery and saw two servants and a child walking on the stone road in front of them.

The child was covered in dirt and his hair was cut very short.

Maybe it was because the person who cut her hair had such poor skills that her head looked like it had been chewed by a dog.

A pair of big eyes that were very bright, and He Xiaobei recognized those eyes.

At this time, the child was being pressed to the ground by a servant, and another servant was desperately trying to pick something out of the child's hand.

But no matter how hard the other party scratched her hand, even when it bled, she still held it tightly without saying a word.

Seeing this, the servant leading the way immediately warned:

"Ahem, go aside and don't block the guests' way."

After saying that, he turned around and smiled apologetically at He Xiaobei:

"Sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you."

He Xiaobei ignored him and said to the distance:

"Let go of your hands first and bring the child over."

Although the servants saw that the guest had spoken, they still stood there holding the child tightly without moving.

Firstly, they were afraid that the child would offend the guests, and secondly, they felt that they were dealing with the thief on behalf of the Zheng family and it was not appropriate for outsiders to interfere.

"Sorry, sir, this kid is a thief. We will handle it ourselves and won't bother you."

As she spoke, she continued to pull the child to the side. He Xiaobei didn't say anything else. She lifted her skirt and took a few steps to the two servants.

He snatched the child from the two people's hands:

"Whatever she stole, I'll compensate her."

The three servants looked at each other, and then one of them spoke:

"I stole... I stole some food."

He Xiaobei squatted down, looked at the little girl in front of him, and then raised the thing in her hand in front of him to examine it.

The girl was holding a black object tightly in her hand, and it was emitting a foul smell.

After reading it, He Xiaobei said in a bad tone:

"You said she stole this for food?"

The servants were startled by her cold tone, but they were servants of the Zheng family after all, so they had some confidence:

"Yes, she sneaked in and knocked over the trash can. These are all kitchen waste. Although people can't eat them, they are used to feed pigs."

He Xiaobei stood up and looked at the servants with a cold gaze:

"I understand. I'm going to take her away now."

At this time, the servant who led the way spoke out to stop them:

"I'm sorry, sir. Although she just sneaked in to take some trash, our Zheng family has very strict management and security. The fact that she was able to sneak in is indeed no small matter."

"Then go tell your master that my name is He Xiaobei and I want to take this child away."

The guest had already said this much, and it would be inappropriate for them to stop him. Moreover, judging from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he was from an important background, so the two servants quickly ran away to report.

When He Xiaobei saw everyone leave, she looked around.

There was a small pavilion on the rockery next to it. He squatted down, held the girl in his arms, and walked towards the pavilion:

"Don't follow."

The servant who was about to raise his leg to follow was nailed to the spot by her cold words.

But then he thought, since this is Zheng's house, the other party can't escape, so he retracted his legs and stood still.

After placing the little girl on a chair in the pavilion, He Xiaobei also sat down and looked at her carefully:

"He Chen, where's your mother? Why are you here? You can't eat what's in your hand. You'll get sick if you eat it."

He Chen was still as dull as when He Xiaobei first met her, his reaction was very slow, and he didn't speak until she finished asking him a question:

"Mom said it's okay to eat. I'm not going to grow up anyway."

He Xiaobei was stunned. Yes, this is the end of the world, and it is difficult for children in the slums to grow up.

She didn't ask any more questions, but pried the little girl's hands apart and threw the black thing in her hand aside. He Chen didn't resist either.
