Volume 1 Chapter 150 First time attending a noblewoman's dinner
"No, no, no, it's too much."
Wen Xiaomei quickly explained: "I'm not a great chef, I'm not worth this price..."
The man was relieved as long as she agreed to cook for him and have all kinds of relationships with him.
This way, he would have a reason to keep her by his side.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. I'm very picky about food. If you don't cook well, your salary will be deducted!"
The man deliberately said seriously: "Then it's settled, starting from breakfast tomorrow."
Wen Xiaomei: "What flavors do you like? I'm afraid I can't make it well..."
"This is a test for you." He did not answer.
Ever since Assistant Yun stopped bringing him breakfast, he hardly had a decent breakfast these days.
It was his first time eating at home, and after the meal, Mu Lingyun wanted to help clean up.
"You are my boss now. I can't let you do this job. Take a rest."
Wen Xiaomei pushed him away.
The little hands were not very delicate, and when they pressed on the back of the shirt, it felt a bit rough.
These are hands that often do housework.
With his back to her, Mu Lingyun's eyes were filled with heartache.
However, he couldn't act too deliberate, so he walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Wen Xiaomei was very capable in doing things, and in his eyes, she was very beautiful.
In Hongcheng, Chen Mengxue hung up the phone and was about to start filming again.
A tall man in a black suit walked in quickly, and when he saw Chen Mengxue, he hesitated to speak.
Because my wife is working.
Half an hour later, the man in the suit was still standing beside her, motionless.
Chen Mengxue glanced sideways: "What's the matter?"
The man immediately bowed and replied: "Madam, it's like this. Mrs. Jiang from Gangcheng learned that you were coming, so she specially held a dinner party and invited you to attend..."
"I'm busy." Chen Mengxue refused, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Wait until I finish filming this scene."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll go and reply to Mrs. Jiang."
When did she become a well-known lady in the circle of wealthy ladies? She didn't want to attend such a boring dinner at all.
After work, Chen Mengxue pulled Lin Zhixia to chat: "Zhixia, you are in the circle, will you accompany me tonight?"
She felt a little insecure inside. She was originally just an ordinary person, not even middle class. Suddenly she was integrated into the circle of upper-class ladies. She was afraid that she would be impolite and bring shame to the Lu family.
"Sister-in-law, relax. Even if you do nothing, they will still be polite to you. After all, you are a person of high status."
Lin Zhixia took her hand and encouraged her: "I know this Mrs. Jiang. The Jiang family, the richest family in Hong Kong, has business cooperation with your Lu family. They are allies. Don't be afraid."
When the two walked out of the film and television city, a luxurious and domineering luxury car stopped in front of them. The man in a suit got out quickly, opened the back door, and said respectfully: "Madam, Miss Zhixia, please get in the car."
This scene happened to be seen by Ye Shiyan and Cai Qianqian who followed behind.
Ye Shiyan frowned and asked, "What is Director Shen's current status? How come he is picked up by a Rolls-Royce when he goes out?"
Cai Qianqian said with envy, "Who knows? Let's go. Now that we're in Hong Kong, let's go and bond a little."
The two separated tacitly and went their separate ways.
Rolls-Royce first took them to a private custom dressing room.
Lin Zhixia changed into a light blue evening dress very naturally and walked out.
When it was Shen Mengxue's turn, she became nervous again.
Fortunately, Lin Zhixia was with her. When she came out, she was wearing a white evening dress and expensive jewelry. She stood in front of the makeup mirror. Chen Mengxue herself looked at the lovely girl in the mirror with an unbelievable look on her face.
Elegant and noble, gentle and generous.
The temperament immediately improved.
The next moment, she carefully lifted the hem of her skirt and said, "Zhixia, isn't this too revealing?"
The evening gown perfectly accentuated her tall and perfect figure.
It also makes the snow-white color even more stunning.
Even Lin Zhixia couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She had let it go long ago. Many relationships just end like this, without any result.
"Wow!" She exaggeratedly covered her red lips with her hands, "Sister-in-law, I never thought you looked so beautiful in an evening gown! No wonder Brother Chenyu fell in love with you."
"Don't talk nonsense. I feel so uncomfortable. Look at my waist. It's tied so tightly. I have to hold my head high and chest out when I walk. I'm not used to it."
She still felt comfortable in casual clothes.
The makeup artist also smiled and complimented: "Madam, this evening dress is tailor-made for you. You look so elegant in it. With this exquisite makeup, you must be the undisputed protagonist of the dinner tonight!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, come on, be careful with the steps, let's go down first."
We got back in the car and within a few minutes, the car drove into the Pingdingshan villa area in the port city.
The most distinguished and wealthy people in Hong Kong live here, including the Wang family and the Huo family.
A few minutes later, in front of the gate of the Royal Palace Villa No. 1.
The red embroidered carpet extends a hundred meters away.
There are already many luxury cars parked in the parking area of the manor. Although tonight is just a private dinner, there are still many wealthy ladies coming.
As soon as the car stopped, a servant went in to inform Mrs. Jiang.
Lin Zhixia came out holding Chen Mengxue's hand.
Soon, a group of women dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and covered in jewels came over.
The leader, who looked to be in his early thirties, walked up with an elegant and intellectual air.
The smile was just right: "Are you Mrs. Lu? Nice to meet you, please come in."
"Ms. Zhixia, you are here too. Please come this way."
Chen Mengxue's palms were slightly sweaty. The climate in Hong Kong City was pleasant and she felt comfortable. She was obviously a little nervous.
"Hello, Mrs. Jiang."
"Let's not be polite, just be casual." Mrs. Jiang could tell at a glance what kind of person she was. Mrs. Lu seemed to be a little restrained.
However, it would be impolite if the Jiang family did not give Mrs. Lu a good treat when she came to Gangcheng.
Walk through the rockery courtyard and into an independent restaurant.
Its luxury is truly worthy of its name, and it is worthy of being called Palace No. 1.
Sitting on the leather sofa, Mrs. Jiang took the initiative to open the topic, "Mrs. Lu, this is your first time in Hong Kong City. Let me introduce you. This is Mrs. Wang."
Across from her, a wealthy lady dressed in noble attire smiled and nodded, then stretched out her hand and greeted her.
Chen Mengxue hesitated for a moment and clasped her hands together.
"Everyone, please don't be polite, Mrs. Lu. The people I invited are all very close to the Lu family. Just be casual."
Is this the life circle of a rich wife?
In the following conversation, the wives mentioned their family businesses intentionally or unintentionally.
They exchange information with each other, and they will take some useful information back and tell their husbands.
As for Chen Mengxue, she knew nothing about the Dongyu Group and couldn't get involved.
Fortunately, Lin Zhixia was with her. She brought a small cake to her and said, "Sister-in-law, fill your stomach first. The dinner will not start until later."
Chen Mengxue was worried. After filming for a whole day, she was already hungry.
These rich ladies would never be hungry. Even if they were really hungry, they would only eat in small bites.
The elegant way of eating made Shen Mengxue feel a headache.
She turned around quietly and finished the meal in two bites.
It was a small piece of cake, and if she wasn't afraid of choking, she would eat it one bite at a time.
The dinner officially began, and even the champagne used was Rothschild brand.
However, Chen Mengxue didn't know any of this. What she was looking forward to most now was for the food to be served quickly. It was already half past six and she was already starving.
