Chapter 116 Attending the Celebration Banquet
Hearing this, Huo Qichen's brows relaxed, "Now my grandfather is your grandfather."
Jian Mo sighed and didn't take the words seriously. "I don't know how to wake my father up. Brother Ming's words really made me panic."
Huo Qichen walked up to her, took out a box of ice cream from somewhere, and placed it in front of her, "Now that things have come to this, have something sweet."
Jian Mo was surprised, "This..."
"You won the project and were promoted to director. How can that not be considered progress?"
The ice cream was cool and melted in her mouth. The sweet taste made Jian Mo feel better. "Grandpa is gone. I'll move back to my original room today."
Instantly, Huo Qichen's face darkened, but she didn't think there was anything wrong. He snatched the box of ice cream away and said, "Don't eat it. You're repaying kindness with hatred."
Jian Mo's hands were empty. "What do you mean?" After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Huo Qichen, you can't bear to leave me?"
The man didn't look at her directly and snorted coldly.
After living together for so long, it was impossible not to get used to it. Even Jian Mo couldn't deny that it was very comfortable to sleep with his hand as a pillow.
"I'm just kidding. Just give me back the ice cream." Jian Mo leaned over, "Huo Qichen?"
He showed a hint of impatience and stopped arguing with her. He calmly returned and said, "Grandpa did go back, but how do you know he didn't tell the servants at Mingyuan to keep an eye on him?"
Jian Mo nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, I'll stay here reluctantly."
Huo Qichen smiled, and the light fell on the corners of his mouth, which was very warm.
The celebration banquet was held on the top floor of the Bulgari Hotel.
Early in the morning, Jian Mo was sent to the beauty salon for a beauty treatment. She was then changed into a special dress by the stylist arranged by Huo Qichen. He said something interesting, "She looks so beautiful even with just a casual dress up. She is truly a beauty."
Jian Mo was amused, "I'm just an ordinary person."
"Hey sister, don't say things like that again. You may have been an ordinary person before, but you are not now."
Jian Mo opened her mouth and looked at herself in the mirror. Today she was wearing a light green slim dress that showed off her figure to the fullest. Her hair was all tied behind her head without any extra accessories. Even with such a simple look, she was already very eye-catching.
The stylist leaned on her shoulder, admiring her. "If nothing else, you really look like a rich lady like this. It's natural."
Jian Mo felt that if he praised her one more time, she would soar to the sky.
In the evening, Huo Qichen drove to pick her up. He had changed his car to a modified G-Class, which looked very wild.
Jian Mo was stunned when she saw the man getting out of the car in a simple white shirt instead of a suit, which matched the temperament of the car very well. She was a little surprised because she had thought that he was low-key and insidious at heart.
I didn't expect it to be so wild.
Huo Qichen walked up to her and held out his hand, "This dress suits you very well."
Jian Mo placed her hand on his, "I'm nervous."
"I'm here."
With this sentence, it seems that nothing is a big deal.
There are many luxury cars parked downstairs of Bulgari, and people who come in and out here are either rich or noble.
Jian Mo carefully followed Huo Qi Chen into the elevator, and with a ding, they reached the top floor.
Ten tables were set up to entertain people in the circle, all of whom were bigwigs in the industry.
Jian Mo carefully entered holding Huo Qi Chen's arm. As soon as she appeared, she attracted countless eyes. Everyone's focus gradually shifted from Huo Qi Chen to the woman beside him. What was going on? He had never brought a female companion in all these years.
"Mr. Huo, congratulations."
"Mr. Huo, congratulations!"
"Mr. Huo, it's a blessing for Wanjing to be acquired by the Huo family."
A group of people came up with wine glasses. Huo Qi Chen took the glass handed to him by the waiter and handed it to Jian Mo first, and then took the next glass.
"Thank you, but Liangqi will be unhappy if you say that."
Everyone saw the intimacy between the two, including Zhou Liangqi, who was dressed in a blue suit and looked lazy. He walked over slowly and said, "Qi Chen, you're worrying too much. Wan Jing doesn't have to be with you. I'll give it to you this time."
Immediately, his eyes fell on Jian Mo, "Just think of it as a gift to you..." He stretched out the tone, "a meeting gift for your new girlfriend."
Huo Qichen curled his lips in disdain, "Liang Qi's judgment of people is still so inaccurate. She is not my new girlfriend."
Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat, and the curiosity in everyone's eyes grew even stronger.
"She's my wife."
Suddenly, everyone, including Jian Mo, opened their mouths in surprise. Even Zhou Liangqi raised his eyebrows. He never expected that Huo Qichen would take the initiative to expose it. He looked at Jian Mo with admiration. It was really a great skill of his.
"Mrs. Huo? When did Mr. Huo get married? There's really no news."
The older bosses were all unhappy that such a high-quality man like Haicheng was actually married.
"I wonder which girl from a good family has such an honor."
Huo Qichen and Jian Mo exchanged a glance, and then he tightened his grip around her waist. "We got the marriage certificate some time ago, but we haven't had the wedding yet. I'll have to ask you to keep this a secret."
"Of course, of course..." Seeing that Huo Qichen didn't want to say more, they didn't ask any more questions. It seemed that she was not the daughter of a wealthy family and looked unfamiliar.
They toasted and called her Mrs. Jian Mohuo. She was flattered and subconsciously said, "Why is it my honor? It's his blessing to marry me."
No one expected this answer and laughed. Huo Qichen also laughed and followed her down the slope. "It's my blessing."
Zhou Liangqi smiled without answering, "A talented man and a beautiful woman, quite good."
During this time, Huo Qichen took Jian Mo by the hand and introduced her to the senior management of Huo's company. Everyone called her Mrs. Huo when they saw her. Someone suddenly said, "Why do I feel that she looks familiar?"
Jian Mo quickly said, "I have a common appearance."
About an hour later, Jian Mo's legs were sore from walking, so Huo Qichen let her sit aside to rest and told her to wait there. He would come and inform her when he got home.
Jian Mo enjoyed the peace and quiet. There were beautiful women in celestial clothes here, and no one had any worries about material things. They should be happy every day. She sighed and felt the gap between the rich and the poor again.
She sat for a while, and suddenly a woman came running in from outside. She was dressed like a wealthy socialite. She ran up to a middle-aged man, said a few words, and rushed directly to Jian Mo, "Are you Mrs. Huo?"
Jian Mo was stunned and subconsciously looked at Huo Qichen, who was still socializing not far away.
"I...should I?"
The woman sneered, "As Brother Huo's wife, you don't even have the courage to admit it. How could our Brother Huo marry a shabby woman like you?"
Tsk, he comes with bad intentions, must be a love rival?
Jian Mo was about to speak when a voice suddenly came in, "Qingying, you are rude."
It was Zhou Liangqi. He walked up to Jian Mo and said calmly.
"Brother Zhou! How could you! You know she..." The woman called Qingying was anxious.
