Chapter 73 Hey, the party is about to start, where is Zhiyue?
There are still ten minutes until the party starts.
When Jiang Zhiyue was found by Gu Zhaoye, she was standing by the least conspicuous window in the corner. The dark wine-red curtain was hanging down and blown up by the wind, blocking most of her figure. She felt at ease and comfortable.
Zuo Qing was holding a manual and was quietly reading it to Jiang Zhiyue, asking her to check for any mistakes.
Jiang Zhiyue praised her for being right on all counts, and Zuo Qing smiled happily. Unfortunately, the smile did not last more than two seconds. When Gu Zhaoye strode over, grabbed Jiang Zhiyue's wrist and hugged her in his arms, she was shocked by the scene.
The wind blew up the huge curtain, blocking the figures of the two people at this moment.
Jiang Zhiyue opened her eyes wide in surprise, unable to control the nervous beating of her heart, and pushed the boy away.
He wore formal clothes today, which was rare for him. His hair was carefully styled, and his face looked both cool and handsome.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Zhiyue just wanted to hide here, ready to slip away at any time.
"Am I in your eyes?"
The girl wore a silver sheen dress, paired with an exquisite bun hairstyle and snow-white skin, it was hard not to notice her.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.
This was the first time Gu Zhaoye saw her in a dress. She looked like Venus hidden in a pearl shell in an oil painting he had seen, soft, crystal clear and pure.
Under normal circumstances, he would be very angry, but today Gu Zhaoye's face was surprisingly calm. He held her tightly in his arms, greedily sniffing her scent.
"If you don't move, no one will notice you. If you continue to struggle, I can't guarantee anything."
This was simply too exciting. If anyone noticed this side, they would find that there seemed to be someone hiding behind the curtain, and a man's leather shoes were exposed underneath. Gu Zhaoye was tall and almost completely surrounded her.
"Who dressed you up so beautifully?" His voice was lowered, less arrogant and more hoarse.
"Let me go now."
As the party time was getting closer, Jiang Zhiyue could hear the conversations of the crowd, the sound of high heels walking, and the gentle clinking of glasses as waiters in uniform served champagne to the guests.
Gu Zhaoye was displeased, "I can see that you won't tell me anything."
"You have already helped me beat Lin Jun. Other things are not important." Jiang Zhiyue is well aware of this truth. Everything has a limit. If she demands too much violence from Gu Zhaoye, she will be retaliated against.
"The party is about to start, go find your dance partner." Old Mrs. Gu is different from Madam Gu, she doesn't want to offend Old Mrs. Gu.
Gu Zhaoye took her words as jealousy and explained to her for the first time, "The Xia family is not worthy of me. My mother will not agree to this marriage. They think that if they try their best to curry favor with the old lady, they can make it a done deal with me. It's a joke."
"I couldn't even pass my mother's test, so how can I pass mine?"
Although the Xia family is a well-known tycoon in the business world, it is not worth mentioning to the Gu family. The girl who was held in Gu Zhaoye's arms... Jiang Zhiyue felt that familiar arrogance from him again, and could only persuade him in a gentle voice to let him go out quickly.
"Be my dance partner tonight." Gu Zhaoye put his thin lips close to the girl's ear, and his voice contained an irrefutable command.
He showed an attitude of not wanting to be advised. In this narrow place, the more stimulating the environment was, the more rebellious he was. He pressed the girl in his arms, kissed the top of her head, then kissed her forehead and cheeks, and finally stared at her lips.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to kiss him. As the sound of conversation got closer and closer, and seemed to be right in front of her, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Brother Jingrun." It was Bai Yanzhu's voice. Seeing Xiao Jingrun coming down the stairs, she walked up to him and greeted him.
Xiao Jingrun and his group walked slowly over, calmly and steadily, with a gentle voice, "I heard that you are going to hold a concert next month, and my mother asked me to be there to support you."
If Xiao's mother had not married into the Xiao family, the world would have had one more famous musician. Bai Yanzhu's world-famous piano teacher was introduced by Xiao's mother. She and Xiao's mother met at a banquet, when Bai's mother asked the then four-year-old Bai Yanzhu to play a piece of music for all the celebrities. That day happened to be Xiao's mother's birthday.
Xiao's mother praised Bai Yanzhu for her talent and said she was a good candidate for art, so she asked Bai Yanzhu to visit the Xiao family more often when she was free.
Everyone thought that Bai Yanzhu and Xiao Jingrun would get the childhood sweethearts script, but unexpectedly, Qin Si showed up in the middle. The Qin and Xiao families belonged to two different factions. The nobles who occupied resources, bloodline and status and the behind-the-scenes manipulators of power had been at odds for a long time. This was well known to the people of Brandenburg.
Qin Si's cold gaze fell on Xiao Jingrun's handsome face opposite him, and he just sneered with an ambiguous meaning.
Bai Yanzhu is caught between two men and cannot offend either force. Outsiders envy the Bai family for having a daughter like her, but she herself knows how difficult it is to deal with them.
"Hey, the party is about to start, where's Zhiyue?" Chu Junche spoke at this time, breaking the awkward and suffocating atmosphere in time. Bai Yanzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was strange to mention Jiang Zhiyue's name in front of these people.
She also didn't know why Xiao Jingrun wanted to invite special students. This kind of occasion was incompatible with them. Didn't it seem redundant?
"Guangya's communication equipment has been involved in a wiretapping scandal and has been targeted by the justice ministries of various countries. Has Mr. Qin thought of a response plan?" However, Xiao Jingrun looked at Qin Si with still gentle eyes and a smile that made people not hate him at all.
The Qin family has monopolized all walks of life in the world, with the communications industry being the most powerful. Not only do they monitor the lives of people all over the world, they also extend their hands into government buildings of various countries. A few days ago, they were suddenly exposed by an executive and were caught up in a scandal.
"The dead can't talk. You better take care of yourself first." Qin Si was calm, with an expressionless face and no emotion at all.
Bai Yanzhu doesn't like men confronting each other in such occasions, which is full of tension.
She suddenly said, "Strange, why don't you see Mr. Gu?"
Jiang Zhiyue heard Gu Zhaoye's name. Compared to the business that those people outside were talking about, Gu Zhaoye, who only knew how to touch her, really seemed like a unreasonable child.
She asked him to get out quickly.
Gu Zhaoye bent down and pointed at his face.
Jiang Zhiyue knew that if she didn't satisfy the young master's bad taste, she would be trapped in the whole party. Holding her breath, she had no choice but to take the initiative to go over and kiss the side of his face. It was a light touch that could almost be ignored.
Gu Zhaoye felt that he didn't kiss her at all, and he was a little unsatisfied, but he also found it very interesting to see the girl's fear of being discovered.
