Chapter 732: Honesty and Trustworthiness
Noticing that many men in the banquet hall were looking at her, Xie Fu curled up the corners of her mouth into a smile and walked in calmly.
As soon as the two of them found a place to sit down, a man came to greet Xie Fu.
"Miss Xie, you are so beautiful tonight, I almost couldn't recognize you."
Xie Fu raised an eyebrow, took the wine handed to her and took a sip. "Young Master Zhang changes friends every day, I'm afraid he must have seen too many of them. How can he still remember what I look like?"
Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "Miss Xie, you're joking. Compared to Miss Xie, those women are just vulgar women who are not worthy of being on the stage."
Xie Fu had a smile on her lips and a nonchalant look in her eyes.
"If I remember correctly, when I came in just now, there was a beautiful woman next to Master Zhang, right? If that beautiful woman heard what Master Zhang said, she would definitely be sad."
"She's just a female companion, nothing special. I wonder if I have the honor to ask Miss Xie to dance with me."
"OK."
Xie Fu put down her wine glass, stood up, held Zhang Shao's hand, and walked into the dance floor with him.
When the song ended, Zhang Shao turned and left with a grim face.
Xie Fu returned to Xiao Muzhen and tutted in disgust, "You can't even dance properly, and you still want to sleep with me? You're dreaming."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but laugh, "If I'm not mistaken, you stepped on Young Master Zhang at least ten times when we were dancing just now. He was able to maintain his composure and not make a scene. That's pretty good."
Xie Fu was wearing high heels today, and it must have been painful after being stepped on so many times.
Xie Fu snorted coldly, "It's his fault for staring at my chest so lustfully! He deserves it! If that song wasn't so short, I could crush his instep!"
"Okay, don't be angry, eat something."
"Yeah, it's not worth it for such a person."
The two were chatting when a sudden noise broke out in the banquet hall.
Xiao Muzhen looked up in the direction of everyone's discussion, and saw Shi Yiheng walking in from the door with a cane.
"Oh my god, didn't Shi Yiheng say he'd never be able to stand up again after the car accident?! He's recovered so quickly?"
"When he got engaged to Xiao Muzhen, I thought Xiao Muzhen's life was ruined. Now I realize that Xiao Muzhen was really foresighted. Now that Shi Yiheng's leg has been cured and the Shi family is powerful, her value will double if she marries him."
"I heard that Shi Yiheng waited for her for many years, and that his legs became crippled just to save her. Now he has finally gotten what he wanted."
…
Amidst the discussions, Shi Yiheng slowly walked towards Xiao Muzhen.
When he saw that she was not wearing the skirt he had given her, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Zhenzhen, don't you like the skirt I asked my secretary to send over?"
Meeting Shi Yiheng's disappointed eyes, Xiao Muzhen shook her head and said, "No, Xie Fu's birthday is coming soon, and I plan to wear it on her birthday party."
Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I thought you didn't like it. I'm glad you like it."
"Well, your legs can't stand for a long time now, sit down and rest for a while."
"good."
After Shi Yiheng sat down, Xie Fu stood up and said, "I won't be your third wheel here anymore. I saw a girl I know over there, so I went over to say hello."
After Xie Fu left, Shi Yiheng looked at Xiao Muzhen and whispered, "Do you want something to eat? I'll get it for you."
"No, just take a rest."
"Okay, by the way, there's a concert at the Beijing Grand Theater soon. I got two tickets from a friend. Do you want to go together?"
Xiao Muzhen tightened her hands on her legs slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded, "Okay, when?"
"Next Friday, I'll pick you up and we can have dinner together."
"Um."
While the two were chatting, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and then a beam of light fell on the stage. A woman in a light blue dress slowly walked from behind the stage into the light.
She is tall, with impeccable facial features and a confident smile on her face. She is so beautiful that it is almost impossible to look away.
Walking to the microphone, she smiled slightly, "Hello everyone, I'm Jing Xuechu, welcome everyone to my birthday party. I hope everyone has a good time. If there is anything that I haven't done well, please forgive me."
After he finished speaking, the lights in the venue came on again, but Jing Xuechu was like a luminous body, and even after he walked off the stage, he could not help but attract other people's attention.
Especially her elegance and grace, which makes people feel good about her at first sight.
Xiao Muzhen noticed that she was not wearing the skirt that her servant bought at the mall that day.
However, Xiao Muzhen's doubts were soon answered. Not long after, the maid walked up to Jing Xuechu wearing the skirt she bought in the mall and whispered something in her ear. Jing Xuechu turned around and walked towards the door, holding up her skirt.
Xiao Muzhen raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the eldest daughter of the Jing family was not as glamorous as she seemed.
Otherwise, how could that skirt appear on a servant? Even if she was holding a birthday party, she would not let the servant wear a skirt worth a million.
Soon, Xie Fu also noticed this and came to Xiao Muzhen angrily to complain.
"What does Jing Xuechu mean by this? She must have given that skirt to that servant on purpose!"
Seeing Xie Fu's angry expression, Xiao Muzhen whispered, "Just pretend you didn't see it, even though it's really annoying."
If Xiao Muzhen guessed correctly, the servant must have taken the skirt back and told Jing Xuechu what happened in the store, so she gave the skirt to the servant and asked him to wear it on her birthday.
There's no need to point this out right then and there; it would only make one appear petty. Besides, Jing Xuechu could easily make it clear with just a few words that she didn't mean it, but not saying it out loud would make people feel as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly.
"I originally thought the eldest daughter of the Jing family was very noble, but she's just a little more clever than others!"
Xie Fu was so angry that she was about to die. She was furious when she thought that she had taken the initiative to give in but was instead belittled by the other party.
"Okay, just think of it as coming here to have fun, have fun!"
Xiao Muzhen comforted Xie Fu for a while, and her expression gradually calmed down.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Xiao Muzhen looked up and saw Huo Yunting standing at the door. A middle-aged man was handing him a glass of wine, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Why is Huo Yunting here?
If she remembered correctly, that middle-aged man was Mr. Wu, the boss of Wu Corporation and a former partner of Huo Corporation.
But now Huo Yunting had a cold face, and Mr. Wu had a sarcastic smile on his face, and the action of handing Huo Yunting the wine was full of contempt and disdain.
"Mr. Huo, if you want me to help you, shouldn't you be a little sincere first? Drink this glass of wine first, and then I'll consider whether to invest in you! Let you rebuild the Huo Group!"
