[Chapter 182 Li Bingyue is Huo Jingze’s fiancée]
Today is Mrs. Huo’s birthday.
The Huo family is the most prestigious family in North City District. Many people want to curry favor with them. The old lady's birthday is a rare opportunity. If they can win favor at the birthday banquet, the status of the entire family in North City District will definitely be raised to a higher level.
Naturally, the Huo family would not invite everyone. Only the rich or noble could come to the banquet. Those who were not invited also sent gifts, but the gifts could only be sent to the Huo family's door. Even if they could not be registered, those people were very happy.
Maybe one day the Huo family will take a fancy to the gifts in the warehouse, and then I will have the opportunity to make friends with them.
The banquet hall was full of guests, toasting each other.
The atmosphere was extremely lively.
Li Bingyue's family were all invited, so they naturally appeared at the banquet.
There had been rumors long before that Li Bingyue would treat Huo Nian's illness and would become the Huo family's young mistress in the future.
The Huo family did not deny it, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Because of these rumors, the Li family's status in the North City District has risen a lot, and many people have begun to curry favor with them.
As Li Bingyue was the center of conversation, many rich young ladies approached her to talk to her as soon as she entered the banquet.
Although she usually has a good family background and a high social status, the daughters of wealthy families have even higher family backgrounds. Although they respect her, they will not flatter her.
Li Bingyue was surrounded by rich daughters, like the moon surrounded by stars, and her ears were filled with their praises.
Her vanity was greatly satisfied, and she felt a little elated. She did not deny and acknowledged her identity as Huo Jingze's fiancée.
Someone looked around and didn't see Huo Jingze, so he asked curiously, "Bingyue, why don't you see Young Master Huo?"
In fact, these rich daughters also had their own little thoughts, thinking that if they got close to Li Bingyue they would have the chance to see Huo Jingze.
What if Huo Jingze falls in love with me?
Of course, Li Bingyue didn't know where Huo Jingze was. The smug smile on her face paused and she lied, "The company is busy, so he might be a little late."
Someone else praised, "Young Master Huo is really the most perfect man in the world. Not only is he handsome and rich, but he is also very serious about his work. Unlike my brother, he only knows how to flirt with women all day long. He either eats and drinks in this bar or eats and waits for death in that club."
The daughter of a wealthy family looked at Li Bingyue with envy, "Young Master Huo is very clean and has never been involved in any scandal. Bingyue, you are so lucky."
Li Bingyue smiled, looking a little shy, "Jingze is indeed a very nice person."
There was suddenly a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Someone shouted.
"Young Master Huo is here!"
Everyone looked over.
Li Bingyue also looked towards the door of the banquet hall in surprise, and the next second the smile on her face completely froze.
Tonight, Huo Jingze wore a well-tailored black and white suit and a burgundy tie. He had a handsome face and a noble temperament, and his noble and elegant aura was particularly prominent.
Next to him stood a woman in a burgundy dress. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, had delicate features, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which were as clear as water, bright and lively. Her soft black hair fell naturally on her shoulders, making her skin look even whiter than snow. She was so beautiful that she looked like she had walked out of a painting.
Her appearance instantly eclipsed the beauties in the banquet hall who were dressed in gorgeous attire.
The most important thing is that she held Huo Jingze's arm in a very intimate manner!
All the guests looked at them with shock and curiosity in their eyes.
Many people were whispering.
"Who is that woman? She is so beautiful."
"Whose daughter is she? Why have I never seen her before?"
"What is her relationship with Huo Jingze? She can't be Huo Jingze's female companion, but isn't Li Bingyue the Huo family's default fiancée?"
"Could it be that she is Huo Jingze's girlfriend?"
Many eyes fell on Li Bingyue, some were inquiring, some were curious, and some were gloating.
Li Bingyue felt her face burning and clenched her fists tightly.
She thought that if Huo Qingyun did not accept Lin Yin, Huo Jingze would not bring her to attend Mrs. Huo’s birthday party.
I didn’t expect Huo Jingze to bring her here!
How could a wild girl from the country be qualified to attend such a celebrity banquet!
She was almost angry to death, but she had to endure it and turned her head away to avoid those gloating eyes.
Huo Jingze and Lin Yin, both handsome and beautiful, became the focus of the whole audience.
Lin Yin's beautiful unfamiliar face attracted the interest of many people, but her identity was unknown and Huo Jingze was always by her side, so those men who were ready to make a move did not dare to act rashly.
Nangong Jialuo took a sip of red wine, and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman not far away with his peach blossom eyes, with a fleeting look of amazement in his eyes.
Everything my cousin likes is indeed a treasure.
It's mouth-watering.
When Lin Yin saw so many people in the banquet hall, her social phobia came back and she couldn't help but get nervous.
The sweat on her palms was transmitted to Huo Jingze's palms. Huo Jingze noticed her uneasiness, lowered his head close to her ears, and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The man's deep, magnetic voice seemed to have a kind of magic, which slightly eased Lin Yin's inner tension and anxiety.
Soon it was time to give gifts.
Everyone walked towards the center of the banquet hall.
Lin Yin looked up and saw Old Mrs. Huo standing in the middle of the crowd.
He was dressed simply, in a Chinese-style crescent-white long gown and trousers, and had no expensive jewelry on him.
Although she is already seventy years old and her hair is grey, she is in good spirits, her eyes are bright and not cloudy at all, and she always has a smile on her face. She looks like a very amiable old lady.
Behind her there was a reception table filled with gifts from guests, piled up like a small mountain.
Li Bingyue stood beside her mother and opened an exquisite gift box with a smile.
"Grandma Huo, I know you like to collect jadeite. This is the imperial green jadeite necklace that our Li family obtained through many connections. It is worth 15 million."
If Li Bingyue wants to enter the Huo family, it is essential to please Old Lady Huo. She specially inquired about Old Lady Huo's preferences and spent a lot of effort and money to get this imperial green jadeite necklace. She believes that Old Lady Huo will like it.
However, Mrs. Huo just glanced at the gift box and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Li."
Apart from this sentence, there were no more words, and the address was very polite, no different from that to other people.
The smile on Li Bingyue's face froze. She wanted to say something to show the value of the necklace, but before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Huo raised her hand and signaled the servant next to her to put away the gift box, and then placed it together with the pile of gifts, instantly drowning it.
The next guest to give a gift has come forward.
Li Bingyue could only reluctantly step back and stand beside her mother. She looked at her mother with a dejected expression.
After a few minutes, the butler read out Lin Yin's name from the roster.
"Next, please let Miss Lin present her gift."
Li Bingyue's eyes fell on Lin Yin, and a mocking smile appeared on her face.
