Chapter 194 Cocktail Party

Under the bright night sky, a grand cocktail party is being held.

Hua Zhao drove here by himself, handed the car keys to the waiter and walked through the gate.

"Hua Zhao, here!"

The short-haired woman not far away looked at her and waved for her to come over.

"Sister Shi Lan."

Wang Shilan handed her the small tray in his hand, which contained two exquisite snacks.

The overall style of today's cocktail party is Chinese, and the refreshments are also Chinese. The pink lotus cake petals on the tray are layered, delicate and small, just enough to be eaten in one bite.

"Sister, this snack is really good. Can you pack it up? I'll bring two back for Qiqi and Youyou to try later."

Wang Shilan laughed, "How can you be like this? The party hasn't even started yet and you're already thinking about packing snacks to feed the kids."

Hua Zhao smiled sheepishly and looked around.

All those invited to the cocktail party today were women. Although the snacks in the tea break area were exquisite, few people actually ate them.

Everyone was wearing luxurious evening gowns and chatting in the hall while holding champagne glasses.

Classical piano music sounded leisurely, and a tall woman in a long dress walked over slowly, with the jade hairpins in her hair swaying gently.

As soon as the woman in the long skirt appeared, people gradually gathered around her, holding up their cups and greeting her: "Teacher Leah, you look so beautiful today."

Leah smiled, and slight fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She is in her fifties now. Her life after retirement is quiet and leisurely. She has lost her edge on the catwalk and has acquired a more indifferent and ethereal temperament.

She accepted the flattery with a smile, whether it was true or false, and was obviously not surprised by such compliments.

"Hua Zhao, I'll take you over to say hello to Sister Leah."

Hua Zhao had just eaten two snacks and was sipping a small cup of tea.

Leia was surrounded by people and she shook her head, not wanting to go over.

Wang Shilan actually didn’t really want to go there. Although she was a producer and also did investment, she didn’t know much about the fashion industry.

She didn't quite understand why Leah invited her, as they had only met twice at events.

Hua Zhao leaned over and said, "Sister, do you know what I heard others say about you when I went to shoot a magazine a few days ago?"

Wang Shilan raised her eyebrows. Someone was saying bad things about her behind her back?

"It's not a bad word. If anyone dares to say something bad about you, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

"What is that?"

Hua Zhao laughed strangely and lifted Wang Shilan's chin with his fingertips: "Others say you are the heroine."

Wang Shilan has considerable assets and owns many properties.

He is also a producer and investor with the sharpest vision, and every project he participates in becomes a hit.

After the divorce storm, Wang Shilan's straightforward handling of the situation made netizens exclaim: "She tore the scumbag apart with her hands. How domineering of a sister."

Wang Shilan is now one of the richest women in North City. Even if she can’t be in the top three, she is definitely in the top five.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Leah wants to get to know Wang Shilan.

Wang Shilan coughed lightly and pushed Hua Zhao in a reproachful manner: "You are just a sweet talker."

Hua Zhao blinked at her and said, "Sister, please take good care of me in the future."

The two were chatting and laughing when they saw Leia, who had just been surrounded by people, standing in front of them with a smile on her face.

"Producer Wang, Hua Zhao, it's an honor to have you here."

Looking closely at this once top-tier supermodel, Hua Zhao became much more reserved and quickly put down the small plate in his hand.

"Teacher Leah."

After saying hello, Leah did not leave, but invited the two of them to the booth on the other side.

The booth is hidden away, with an ancient-style screen standing in front of it, and the view is surprisingly good.

Leah sat on Hua Zhao's right, and her words and expression showed her appreciation for her.

When he learned that she chose to return to China for love, he did not think that Hua Zhao was a love-brained person.

Hua Zhao was flattered and said thank you several times. He could really feel that Leia really liked him.

All three of them have children at home, and the topic turned to children.

It was at this time that Leah found out that the child model who had previously filmed a commercial with Hua Zhao was actually Hua Zhao’s nephew.

"Your nickname is Qiqi, right?"

Hua Zhao nodded: "Yes, he was born on the seventh day of the seventh month."

Although Leah no longer walks on the catwalk, she has not completely faded out of the fashion circle.

She and her friends also opened several entertainment companies and signed many child models.

So when he heard that Pei Xu was Hua Zhao's nephew, he wanted to sign him and train him himself.

That child has excellent bones and temperament. He will definitely be more beautiful when he grows up.

Hua Zhao politely declined. After the advertisement was broadcast, many agencies approached her, and Leah was not the first one.

The family of three held a family meeting, and Pei Qiqi experienced the feeling of standing under the spotlight and being surrounded by everyone.

There are many things that are enough to just experience, there is no need to say that you like them very much.

If Pei Xu becomes a full-time model, her life and study will definitely be affected.

Whether you are a model or an actor, you have to train day after day and give up a lot of things.

Pei Yi didn't have high expectations for his nephew; his brother's death was too much of a blow to him.

As long as Qiqi's life is safe and healthy, there is no need to work so hard.

Although Leia felt regretful, she could also understand Hua Zhao's feelings.

Feeling that Hua Zhao treated her nephew like her own son, Leah had a better impression of her and immediately took her hand and called her sister.

At this moment, someone accidentally bumped into the screen, and the sound of the screen moving caused the three people to look back.

"I'll go out and take a look." Leah smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked over.

Hua Zhao picked up the bag, took Wang Shilan's arm and stood up.

No Chinese person wants to miss a piece of gossip.

In fact, it was nothing serious. Someone just accidentally bumped into the screen. But the person who bumped into someone seemed very unhappy and kept emphasizing that the other person was not looking at the road.

As soon as Hua Zhao came out, he heard someone calling Fang Qin's name.

She had only seen Fang Qin's photo and had never seen her in person.

Oh.

Today she finally met him.

Hua Zhao rolled up his non-existent sleeves and walked out from behind the screen.

The Fang Qin in front of her was not as arrogant as she had imagined. Today was an ancient style cocktail party, and Fang Qin was wearing a blue and white gradient cheongsam that fitted the theme very well.

It has the flavor of blue and white porcelain.

She has delicate makeup, low eyebrows and a pleasant look. She is very beautiful.

The young woman who bumped into Fang Qin seemed very unhappy with her and cursed at her.

Hua Zhao resisted the urge to go over, wanting to see how Fang Qin would respond.

Fang Qin waited until the man finished cursing before she said calmly, "I didn't look at the road. I'm sorry."

The young woman was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Fang Qin's nose and kept calling her "you you you" for a long time without saying anything meaningful.

The people around him had already started talking, and Hua Zhao listened in.

Everyone is talking about the young woman who hit someone and then blamed him.

"Okay, it's all a misunderstanding, let's continue playing."

Leia came out to smooth things over, and the people who had gathered around gradually dispersed.
