Chapter 866 The Second Young Master's Engagement Banquet
After trying on the dress, Wen Qi didn't know how it would turn out, but because of Murong's words, she felt more confident. She looked at Murong and gave her a grateful smile.
The two of them have completely different looks. Murong can harm himself to comfort her, and Wen Qi understands it in her heart. In the past, she only cared about Qiao Yunyue, but now, unknowingly, she seems to care about more people in her heart, and she has also become someone that others care about.
The engagement dress has been decided and everything else is ready.
The 26th of the Gregorian calendar was a good day with clear skies and fresh air. In the most luxurious hotel in Beijing, many wealthy and aristocratic families came to attend the engagement banquet of the second young master of the Qiao family.
Wen Qi and Qiao Yunyue stood beside Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yanfei respectively. They walked out together and stood there, announcing their good news to everyone present.
Murong stood in the audience, watching Wen Qi and Qiao Yunyue looking at each other with deep affection.
Not far away, the eldest brother and his sister-in-law did not allow anyone else to come between them.
As everyone present gave their blessing applause, Murong also clapped sincerely, but after clapping, she unknowingly came to the wine and snack area, picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
When she put down the wine glass, Murong's eyes revealed a sense of loss and tears that she herself was not aware of.
Once upon a time, she was also a person who yearned for beautiful love and marriage. Now, after that incident, she found that she could no longer look at the man pursuing her with normal eyes.
Murong believes that beautiful love exists, but she doesn't believe that beautiful love will happen to her. She can only watch the happiness of others from afar like she does now.
Just when Murong wanted to drink another glass of wine, suddenly, a hand that was obviously a man's was placed on her shoulder.
Murong was startled. She quickly turned around and took several steps back, looking at the person coming with vigilant eyes.
"Huh? Little Murong, why are you reacting so strongly?" Qiao Yunxi asked in surprise.
Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar handsome face, the defensiveness that had risen in Murong's heart disappeared.
She lowered her eyes, calmed down, and whispered, "It's you, Third Brother Qiao."
Qiao Yunxi frowned in confusion. Why did Murong sound so nasal when he spoke?
He took a few steps forward, Murong raised his face, and in an instant, Qiao Yunxi was stunned.
Today, Murong wore an elegant goose yellow half-back dress and a round pearl necklace on her fair and beautiful neck. In the center of the necklace was a star pendant inlaid with diamonds, which sparkled under the lights of the banquet.
At this moment, her pretty little face was flushed by the wine, and her eyes were filled with sadness and confusion.
Qiao Yunxi's steps froze in place.
"Third Brother Qiao?"
As Murong shouted again, Qiao Yunxi immediately came back to his senses.
Realizing his recent madness, Qiao Yunxi took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted his forehead, thinking to himself that he was really drunk and seemed unable to think.
When Qiao Yunxi looked at Murong again at this time, all the emotions in her eyes were gone. She just looked at him in confusion, as if the sadness he had just seen was fake.
Qiao Yunxi remembered the purpose of his visit and said, "We are not the main characters today, and your elder brother is only hanging out with my sister. I thought you might be bored, so I came to play with you. By the way, how are you going to get home after the party? Do you want me to take you home?"
Murong looked around the banquet and saw Qiao Qingci talking to Mo Yanchu and those partners.
She retracted her gaze, looked at Qiao Yunxi and said, "No need, I'll ask the driver to pick me up. Besides, Third Brother Qiao, you've been drinking too, so I'd rather ask your driver to pick you up, right?"
Facing Murong Qianxiao's expression, Qiao Yunxi scratched his head and said, "You're right. How about this? I'll play with you until your driver arrives, and then I'll take you to the car safely."
"OK."
Wen Qi and Qiao Yunyue's engagement party ended successfully. On Weibo, Wen Qi uploaded the relevant details of the engagement party and received many blessings from fans and netizens. Qiao Qingci also liked it, turned off his phone, and devoted himself to work and the investment confrontation with "NCI".
Everything at work was going smoothly. In "NCI", the competition among everyone was very fierce. According to information obtained by Wan Xiaobei, many investment giants were involved, including the younger generation of financial tycoon families.
Qiao Qingci just listened to the news and calmly recovered and redistributed the funds.
The wealth rankings of all participants in "NCI" will be updated daily. Qiao Qingci looked at those at the top of the list.
