Chapter 512: He lost Shen Zhichu, who was wearing a red dress and had bright eyes
The process went on normally. Shen Zhichu glanced around casually and found many acquaintances. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. There were people interweaving in the middle. Some people walked towards her and tried to make friends, but the person they were trying to make friends with was obviously Bai Qiujing.
In the eyes of everyone, she was just a foil tonight, Bai Qiujing's female companion, not even his fiancée.
In this circle, people either look at ability or background. In their eyes, people like Shen Zhichu are just actors with beautiful looks. It’s okay to keep them at home as potted flowers, but it’s against the rules to bring them to such occasions.
Shen Zhichu's eyes darkened for a moment, staring closely at the familiar figure. Finally, the figure stopped and took a glass of red wine from the waiter. As if sensing the gaze behind him, the man turned his head with the glass in hand.
Li Jingshen.
Shen Zhichu was not surprised to see him in such an occasion. Everyone who came here was a leader in the business world. There was no reason for Li Jingshen, the richest man in J City, not to come.
After Lu Tingchuan's death, the previous shareholders all stood up and followed Li Jingshen. Li Jingshen was originally the heir to Li's enterprise. He didn't want it before, but now he decided to take over, and it naturally fell into his hands.
Including Lu Tingchuan's previous shares, he now holds 80% of Li Enterprise's shares.
He has been very popular in recent months. Today is the first time he has appeared in such a formal occasion in these months, and he has attracted more attention than the organizer, the Bai family.
There were two people around him, one was Zhao Qian, and the other was his bodyguard who protected him and didn't let anyone get close to him.
Li Jingshen turned around and met Chen Zhichu's gaze. His originally indifferent gaze softened a bit. He raised the goblet in his hand, gestured, and then drank it all in one gulp. Zhao Qian, who was beside him, saw that the glass in his hand was empty before he could stop him. He was so anxious that his scalp tightened.
"Mr. Li, have you forgotten the doctor's advice? Quitting smoking and drinking is the most basic thing."
"I know." Li Jingshen's voice was hoarse.
"You know, then you still..." Zhao Qian suddenly paused. Li Jingshen has been much more well-behaved recently, and his living habits have been more normal than ever. He doesn't look like someone who would suddenly become addicted to alcohol. He glanced at Li Jingshen's eyes and saw that he was staring at one place. He followed his gaze and saw Shen Zhichu's figure there.
Shen Zhichu was wearing a red dress and talking to the people in front of her in a graceful and generous manner with a beautiful smile on her face.
Zhao Qian was slightly stunned. Although he knew that Shen Zhichu had changed a lot, he didn't expect her changes to be so great.
Even those who know that they can no longer understand her will be stunned for two seconds when they see her like this.
Is this Shen Zhichu?
No... This was Shen Zhichu at the beginning. However, as time went by, they all forgot what Shen Zhichu originally looked like and thought she was the dying bird locked in a cage with broken wings.
Li Jingshen had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was lost in some memories and couldn't get out of them. The smile on his lips gradually became bitter.
"Is she beautiful?"
Zhao Qian nodded subconsciously. It was indeed beautiful. Although Shen Zhichu had changed her shell, this shell was getting closer and closer to her former appearance. Even the shadow of Shen Qing could no longer be seen.
Shen Zhichu is living more and more like the proud and outspoken her back then.
"Thirteen years have passed in a flash." He clearly drank wine, but he felt it was Chinese medicine. The residue of the medicine was still in his throat, and the bitterness was getting stronger and stronger.
No one is afraid of medicine, they are just afraid of the pain.
Even though Shen Zhichu no longer had him in her eyes, Li Jingshen's gaze still followed that figure, watching him standing next to another man in a red dress with a sweet smile on his face, holding his arm like a little bird.
His dark pupils suddenly became blurred, like mist floating on glass on a cold winter night. He couldn't help but recall a dinner party like this that year.
Shen Zhichu was wearing a beautiful red dress and holding a string of candied haws in her hand. She walked towards him slowly. At that time, Shen Zhichu's eyes were full of light, making him mistakenly think that he was the light in her eyes.
"Mr. Li, long time no see."
If he had gently replied to her with "Long time no see" at that time, would the result have been different?
Shen Zhichu, wearing a red dress, became the focus of the scene. People had to admit that she was stunningly beautiful, not only in appearance, but also in the confidence and pride that emanated from within.
Shen Zhichu is really beautiful like this. How could he have lost such a dazzling Shen Zhichu in the first place?
Now Shen Zhichu is found, but she doesn't want him anymore.
Li Jingshen groaned and quickly turned around. His hand holding the wine glass shook and the glass fell and shattered into pieces. The bodyguard who was watching Li Jingshen on the side quickly helped Li Jingshen up, so that he did not fall down with the glass.
Blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth. Li Jingshen was wearing a black suit today. He raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. The bloodstain was not obvious.
The black suit was Shen Zhichu's favorite combination, and the tie around his neck was bought for him by Shen Zhichu. He kept it after Shen Zhichu's death.
But now the tie was like a hand strangling his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Shen Zhichu said she likes men wearing black suits because they look serious and stern.
He put it on, but she didn't even look at him.
Instead, his eyes stayed on Bai Qiujing, who was wearing a white suit beside him.
Therefore, Shen Zhichu is not a person who likes to wear a certain type of style of clothes, but she likes whatever clothes the person she likes wears.
Shen Zhichu, wearing a red dress, stood next to Bai Qiujing, who was wearing a white suit, and the red color was even more conspicuous.
Li Jingshen covered his mouth, coughed muffledly, and his body trembled. Zhao Qian stood behind him, blocking some of the damage for him.
But the noise of the broken cup still attracted some people's attention, and the waiter hurried over to clean it up.
The bodyguard half-supported Li Jingshen and took him to an inconspicuous corner to sit down.
If Shen Zhichu is the brightest star today, then he is like a candle wick that is about to go out, and will disappear with just a slight breeze.
Shen Zhichu looked over, and Bai Qiujing naturally noticed Li Jingshen as well.
"Why is he here?" Shen Zhichu asked subconsciously, and only after asking did he realize that Li Jingshen's identity was more than enough for him to attend such a dinner, and he was also related to Bai's mother.
As soon as Shen Zhichu saw Li Jingshen, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
It might be the shadow left by Li Jingshen in her previous life that made her feel that this man was dangerous.
Shen Zhichu inexplicably recalled what Li Jingshen said to her in the hospital that day.
He said that he would prove to her that she had made a mistake again this time, that the Bai family was not her home, and that he was more suitable for her than Bai Qiujing.
How does Li Jingshen want to prove it?
