As they entered the banquet hall, many people took the initiative to greet Tang Shiqi. Xia Shige listened quietly on the side, asking Tang Shiqi about the indoor farming and animal husbandry industry of her fiancé Zhou Ran's family.
Rich people certainly have a keen sense of smell and can grasp the opportunity to make money better than ordinary people. It seems that these rich kids want to get a piece of the pie from this industry indirectly.
Xia Shige listened and looked around the banquet hall.
Electricity prices are sky-high now. Ordinary people only turn on the air conditioner when they can't stand the heat, and they are reluctant to turn on the lights at night. Many people even turn off their routers and TV set-top boxes at home to save a little standby power consumption.
Many poor people cannot even afford the electricity bills and can only choose to evade the bills. They are restricted by the power grid to the first-tier quota. After the quota is used up, many people suffer from heatstroke and faint.
This banquet hall has central air conditioning, and the dazzling chandeliers emit bright light. On the carefully arranged tables are exquisite vases filled with delicate flowers.
Xia Shige took a glass of wine from the tray, quietly walked through the banquet hall, stood by the door and looked at the back garden of the villa.
It was such hot weather that not a single seedling was left on the ground, but the backyard of Shen Zehuai's villa was full of various flowers and plants. Under the moonlight and lights, it was as beautiful as a gorgeous oil painting. Xia Shige looked at the garden in a trance, feeling that this place and the outside world were two different worlds.
Just when Xia Shige was in a daze, a boy who looked to be about 18 or 19 years old came over and chatted with her: "Sister, are you alone? Can you get to know me?"
Xia Shige turned around to look at the person who came. She saw that he had a delicate and handsome baby face, honey-colored eyes and thick eyelashes, vaguely looking a bit like a mixed-race person.
Seeing Xia Shige looking at him, the baby-faced boy blinked and gave her a kind smile.
Xia Shige clenched the wine glass in her hand fiercely. She knew this person!
In her previous life, when Xia Shige had just returned to the Lu family, Xu Yilan also took Xia Shige to several banquets. At the banquets, Xia Shige was often bullied and teased by Lu Siyuan and Lu Sixue's friends.
The man in front of him is Lu Siyuan’s friend, named He Yu. His sister He Qing and Lu Sixue are also friends.
In his previous life, when He Yu met Xia Shige for the first time, he tricked Xia Shige into the backyard and pushed her into the swimming pool, causing Xia Shige to catch a cold and have a fever for several days.
Afterwards, because Lu Siyuan and Lu Sixue gave false testimony, Xu Yilan and Lu Bo both thought that Xia Shige had fallen into the water by accident, and no matter how Xia Shige explained, it was useless.
After the first success, He Yu secretly drugged Xia Shige's wine glass at a party, and called a few strangers to drag Xia Shige into the room to prepare to take a video. Xia Shige was able to escape by jumping from the third floor.
Afterwards, Xia Shige called the police, but the matter was covered up by the Lu and He families.
Thinking back to her past life, Xia Shige became furious. She looked at He Yu coldly and replied, "No."
He Yu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Xia Shige to refuse so straightforwardly. After all, few women would refuse his initiative to chat up.
But he was not angry. He smiled and said, "But my sister is very beautiful. I want to be friends with her." He Yu's baby face smiled innocently and harmlessly, with an innocent look on his face.
Xia Shige felt a chill for no reason when he looked at his smiling face. He had smiled like this before he pushed himself into the swimming pool in his previous life.
"But you are very ugly, we can't be friends." Xia Shige said and strode away to the back garden of the villa. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but splash the wine in her hand on He Yu's face.
He Yu was stunned, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and a hint of viciousness appeared in his honey-colored eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Siyuan came over and asked in confusion when he saw He Yu standing there alone.
Lu Siyuan and He Yu were not in Shen Zehuai's circle, so Shen Zehuai had not invited them when he organized this party. But Shen Zehuai's friend knew He Yu's elder brother He Lei, so he invited He Lei. He Lei was not available, but Lu Siyuan and He Yu were really bored at home, so they came to join the party.
He Yu sneered, silently looking at Xia Shige's back, turning the wine glass in his hand nonchalantly, and replied: "Nothing, just met a bitch who doesn't know what's good for her."
He Yu came here because Xia Shige was dressed casually and was pretty, so he thought she was looking for an opportunity to hook up with a sugar daddy at the party, so he approached her to chat with her. He didn't expect that she would dare to ignore him.
If he didn't want to give Chen Zehuai face and not mess things up here, he would definitely find someone on the spot to teach this ungrateful bitch a lesson!
