Chapter 357: A Dance

Hearing the familiar voice, Shu Yue looked up suddenly.

The woman in front of him was wearing a red feather mask, revealing only a pair of playful eyes.

"Why are you here?"

Shu Yue frowned slightly.

"Of course the boss invited me here." Shangguan Ling said, leaning close to Shu Yue's ear, her eyes fell on Fu Jingshen behind her, and she laughed, "It looks like your fiancé is going to eat me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yue felt someone grabbing her hand, and with a spin, she was back in Fu Jingshen's arms.

"Xu Si also invited Shangguan Ling." Shu Yue said.

Fu Jingshen tightened his hand on her waist, fearing that she would be pulled over by Shangguan Ling again.

"I saw it. From Xu Si's perspective, he called all the competitors of this project to compare. I think this masked ball is a cover, and the focus is on the charity auction during the ball."

Xu Si is a very cunning person. Although it is said to be a charity auction, the final proceeds might go into his pocket, and the funds that can be used for charity might be less than one-tenth.

"Miss, why are you sitting here alone? Can I invite you to dance?"

Xu Mengyun was sitting alone on the sofa in the corner, shaking the champagne in her hand boredly. When she heard the sound, she looked up.

The man in front of him was probably only about 1.7 meters tall, so thin that he couldn't even hold up his suit. He had no aesthetic appeal at all, not to mention his messy mask.

"Sorry, I can't dance." Xu Mengyun declined politely.

But the man refused to give up.

"It's okay, I can teach you, I'm very good at dancing."

He insisted on reaching out to Xu Mengyun, as if he was determined to get her.

Xu Mengyun resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him, "Sir, I have no intention of dancing."

"As long as you dance with me, you will definitely fall in love with the feeling of dancing." The man said, and actually tried to pull Xu Mengyun up from the sofa.

"Excuse me for letting me pass."

The young man's clear voice rang out, and champagne flowed down the collar of the man's ill-fitting suit, wetting a large area.

"You! Do you know how much my clothes cost?"

The man pointed at the waiter in front of him and cursed him, completely losing the gentlemanly manner he had just been pretending to be.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The waiter was also wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly. All that could be seen was his clear and shrewd eyes.

"But sir, your suit doesn't look like good material to me. Are you being cheated?"

"How is this possible? I spent a lot of money to have this custom made by a designer! Custom made, you know? It costs several million dollars. Tell me, how can I lose money?"

"The material is frayed, and it doesn't fit me well. It's obviously not custom-made. You must have bought it for a few dozen bucks on the street. Are you trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful by wearing such cheap clothes on Xu's territory? You really think too highly of yourself."

Xu Mengyun interrupted the man, stood up and started to find fault with his clothes.

The man looked visibly guilty and he even stepped back.

"This was custom made for me..." His voice was pitifully small.

"People who come here are either rich or noble. One look at your clothes will reveal the price." Xu Mengyun was a little impatient. "Do you want me to ask the security guard to kick you out, or do you want to leave on your own?"

The man knew he was in the wrong, so he stopped arguing with them and turned to run. However, he did not notice there was someone behind him and bumped into him.

He didn't dare to apologize or stay. What if he was discovered and had to pay compensation?

Shu Huai touched his hurt shoulder and looked back at the man who disappeared in an instant.

This Xu Si really lets everyone in.

He came to his senses and was about to look for Shu Yue and Fu Jingshen, but his sharp eyes caught sight of Xu Mengyun in the corner.

She is really easy to recognize. She exudes the aura of being the most beautiful and not to be messed with.

He withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Xu Mengyun.

"Thank you for helping me out just now." Xu Mengyun thanked the waiter next to him.

"You're welcome. I can't stand scum like this who harasses women."

Xu Mengyun frowned slightly, "Why do I feel that your voice sounds familiar?"

I seem to have heard it somewhere.

It’s not that she has a good memory, but there are very few people she has come into contact with who have such a clear boy’s voice, Xu Mengyun said, raising her hand and taking off the mask of the person in front of her.

"Fu... Heming?"

Xu Mengyun stared at his face, thought for a while, and called out his name.

Fu Heming pretended to be surprised, "Do you know me?"

"I saved you."

Xu Mengyun took off the mask, let him take a look, and then put it on.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence." Fu Heming said with some surprise.

Xu Mengyun raised her eyebrows slightly and looked Fu Heming up and down, "Really? Didn't you come here specifically to find me?"

"Of course not, I didn't even know you were here."

Xu Mengyun stared into his eyes, trying to find some loophole in his expression to prove that he was lying, but Fu Heming met her probing gaze calmly and calmly.

"Why don't you just lie down in the hospital and rest? Instead, why are you here?" Since he didn't know he was here and wasn't looking for her, why did he show up at the dance? This is very suspicious.

Fu Heming answered fluently, "I wanted to pay back the medical expenses you gave me as soon as possible, so when I heard that you were short of manpower, I came directly to help."

"I told you I don't need that little bit of medical expenses, you don't have to pay it back." Xu Mengyun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about this little money at all.

"It's your business if you don't want it, but it's my business if I want it back."

"You're quite stubborn. It's up to you." Xu Mengyun shrugged and was about to walk past him to leave when someone suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Mengyun."

Who else except Qu Lin would use such an intimate name?

Xu Mengyun shuddered and subconsciously pulled Qu Lin's hand away, but she didn't expect that Qu Lin was holding it very tightly.

"I've been looking for you for a long time. Can I invite you to dance?" Qu Lin said with a smile.

"Can't."

Xu Mengyun refused very decisively.

Qu Lin's eyes darkened and he lowered his voice, "It was Boss Xu who asked me to come and ask you to dance. You can't refuse Boss Xu's favor, right?"

"Are you threatening me with my brother?" Xu Mengyun said in an unhappy tone.

"No."

Xu Mengyun knew that Xu Si must be watching somewhere. Although she didn't know why Xu Si was so fond of Qu Lin, she still had to pretend in front of him, otherwise she would inevitably be lectured again when she returned.

"If you want to jump, do it quickly." Xu Mengyun took the lead and pulled Qu Lin over.

Fu Heming stared at Xu Mengyun's back and put on the mask silently.

Qu Lin's hand fell on Xu Mengyun's waist. As a female star, she managed her figure very well. He held her slender waist, fearing that it would break.

As he got closer, he seemed to smell the faint scent of perfume on Xu Mengyun, which was very addictive.

Xu Mengyun pressed herself against him, feeling uncomfortable all over. She could even feel his hand rubbing her waist. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the discomfort.
