After her divorce, Xia Zhichu had a flash marriage with an old classmate. They clearly agreed to cultivate their feelings first, so why did she always wake up with someone by her side every morning...
"Okay, I get it. Go ahead and socialize, get more clients, and quickly build up your studio. When I have money, I want to be a shareholder."
"That's a must." Chu Tiantian smiled confidently.
The two didn't talk much. Chu Tiantian raised her wine glass and mixed into the circle of celebrities again, while Xia Zhichu's eyes fell on the entrance. The restlessness just now had subsided and the man had disappeared.
She looked around again and saw only unfamiliar faces.
It seems that Chu Tiantian is really too suspicious. How could Si Mochen be the young master of the richest family, the Si family?
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Xia Zhichu felt a little hungry, so he got up and went to the food area to get some food.
I have to say that the banquets in wealthy families are different. There are all kinds of food, the exquisite cakes look delicious, and there are also various imported wines and snacks.
Xia Zhichu picked out his favorite mousse cake and took some fruit before returning to his seat.
"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"
Suddenly, a gentle and elegant male voice came from above my head.
Xia Zhichu looked up and saw a man in a gray suit standing in front of him. He was holding a glass of champagne in an elegant posture, with a smile on his face as warm as spring breeze.
Xia Zhichu didn't want to pay attention to him, but was warmed by the man's smile, and finally nodded.
The man said again, "If you don't mind, would you like to sit together?"
Xia Zhichu was just about to say that it was inconvenient, but unexpectedly the man had already sat down next to her.
A faint fragrance wafted into my nose, it was the scent of a man's perfume.
Xia Zhichu has always been disgusted by the smell of perfume. Even when Chu Tiantian came to see him, Xia Zhichu would dislike her strong scent. But the scent in front of him was very special, and it smelled a bit refreshing, so Xia Zhichu didn't find it disgusting at all.
After the man sat down, he crossed his legs elegantly and leaned lazily on the sofa, sipping the champagne in his glass.
Xia Zhichu ignored him and concentrated on enjoying the food.
Unexpectedly, the man's eyes fell on her, and he saw her eating posture clearly, with a faint smile on his thin lips.
After Xia Zhichu finished eating all the food in front of him, the man spoke, "Are you Miss Chu's friend?"
Xia Zhichu was thinking about getting some more food when she heard a man's voice and suddenly realized that there was someone around her.
She stared at the man blankly for a long time, then nodded again.
Seeing that she didn't say "oh" or "hmm", the other party smiled helplessly, "My name is Gu Bai, what's yours?"
Xia Zhichu was very familiar with this kind of occasion. The people who came and went were all people from the upper class. Moreover, this person also knew Chu Tiantian, so he should be Tiantian's friend.
In order to avoid trouble, she responded to the other party.
"Xia Zhichu."
"Xia... Zhi... Chu." Gu Bai pronounced her name word by word, as if savoring it, and finally smiled faintly, "It's a very special name."
Xia Zhichu laughed awkwardly and said, "Not particularly, there are a lot of people with the same name."
After saying that, she pointed to the food area and motioned to the other party to get some more food.
Unexpectedly, Gu Bai just snapped his fingers, and a waiter came over and said, "Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?"
Gu Bai looked at Xia Zhichu gently and said coolly, "Take some of the food from the food area and bring it here."
"yes."
The waiter quickly went to do it.
Xia Zhichu looked at Gu Bai in surprise and said hurriedly, "Mr. Gu, there's no need to be so troublesome. I can get it myself."
Gu Bai said, "There are a lot of people here. It would be bad if we get bumped into."
Gu Bai noticed Xia Zhichu the moment she appeared.
Gu Bai had been around in this kind of circle for a long time and had seen countless beauties, but this was the first time he had seen a woman as beautiful and elegant as Xia Zhichu.
She originally wanted to come over and say hello, but seeing so many men approaching her, Xia Zhichu seemed a little uneasy and walked away. Gu Bai knew that this woman was different.
Or rather, it was her first time attending such a banquet.
So Gu Bai had been silently paying attention to Xia Zhichu. At that time, someone accidentally bumped into Xia Zhichu. Gu Bai wanted to come over and save the beauty, but he didn't expect Chu Tiantian to appear so quickly.
He had been keeping an eye on the woman in the crowd, and seeing that many men were still eager to approach her, he finally chose to seize the opportunity and take the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation.
Xia Zhichu felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard Gu Bai's words. She didn't like being stared at and always felt that she had no privacy.
Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, I heard a loud noise coming from the front.
Looking closely, the birthday boy Zhao Sichun appeared.
She was obviously dressed up tonight. The white strapless evening gown made her look particularly pure. Her hair was all tied up and topped with expensive pearl hair accessories.
Looking closely, she was wearing a valuable diamond necklace around her neck, sparkling under the light.
Everyone's attention turned to it, and the guests burst into exclamations of admiration.
Zhao Sichun held her father's arm like a princess, with a confident smile on her face. Listening to everyone's praise, she felt even more proud.
However, facing everyone's flattering eyes, Zhao Sichun did not pay much attention, but kept looking around.
Apparently, he didn't find the person he wanted to see. Zhao Sichun said to his father unhappily, "Dad, didn't you say Brother Mochen is here? Where is he?"
Father Zhao patted her hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, he is talking with Mr. Si in the lounge and will come to see you soon."
Zhao Sichun still asked worriedly, "Will the marriage tonight be successful? I'm worried that Brother Mo Chen will reject me in person like last time. Where will I put my face then?"
Last time, it was just her family members, and Zhao Sichun couldn't bear it. If she was rejected again in front of the guests tonight, how would she hold her head up in front of her sisters?
"Your grandfather said that Mr. Si has already made a promise, and there will be no problem."
"Grandpa Si said the same thing last time, but it still didn't work out."
Zhao Sichun was worried because she couldn't see through Si Mochen's thoughts.
During the day, I ran back to complain to my grandfather, and my grandfather immediately called the Si family to demand an explanation. But I don't know how the Si family handled it. They suddenly agreed to the marriage.
This happiness came so suddenly that Zhao Sichun was overwhelmed, so she announced the good news to her circle of close friends.
In the socialite circle, secrets can never be kept, so this matter naturally reached Chu Tiantian's ears.
That's why Chu Tiantian gossiped about Xia Zhichu when they first entered the scene.
"It will definitely work this time. Your grandfather just said that Mr. Si absolutely does not agree with Si Mochen marrying a woman of unknown origin, and the Si family will make Si Mochen divorce that woman after the marriage is announced tonight."
When Zhao Sichun heard this, he asked excitedly, "Really?"
Seeing her overjoyed look, Father Zhao nodded and said, "How could Dad lie to you? After the marriage is successful, you can just sit back and wait to become Mrs. Si."
"You are worthy of being my good father. You love me the most."
Zhao Sichun leaned her head on her father's shoulder and acted coquettishly. At this moment, her mind was full of the scene of marrying Si Mochen.
