Chapter 183 Girl, I'll take you home
Tong Zhenzhen arrived at the VIP room but found it empty. The entire VIP room was deserted. JM Xu was not there, and neither was her father Tong Yunhe.
It was strange. They were still discussing something when she left. Why did she leave? As soon as she walked out of the VIP room, she met Tong Yunhe, and Tong Zhenzhen immediately went to greet him.
"Dad, where is Xu?" Tong Zhenzhen said to Tong Yunhe.
"I guess he left. He was just here. Dad just left to answer a phone call. What's the matter? Why are you looking for Xu so urgently?" Tong Yunhe knew that Tong Zhenzhen had liked Xiangye since she was a child. It was one thing that she didn't know that Xiangye had an engagement before, but now that Tong Zhenzhen returned to China, Xiangye was said to be married. He really didn't like Tong Zhenzhen to be involved with Xiangye again. Xiangye was a rare person, but the Tong family was not a small family.
He didn't need his precious daughter to make any concessions for the family, he just wanted her to be happy.
Now, although JM Xu is aloof, he has never had any scandals with any woman. Not only is he an orphan, but he is also doing well in the fashion industry. This time, he is willing to put aside his so-called personality and look for business cooperation in T City for Tong Zhenzhen, and the purpose is also to help Zhenzhen improve her awareness and let her gain a foothold in the fashion industry. Seeing JM Xu spend so much time and effort for his daughter, he secretly hopes that if JM Xu is willing, it would be a good choice to hand over his precious daughter to him.
After all, their family has the foundation and the strength, and JM Xu is talented. When the time comes for the two to join forces, he can rest assured when he hands the Yundi Group over to them.
"It's nothing, Dad, I'll go find Xu first." Xia Xue couldn't help but rush downstairs when she heard that JM Xu was not upstairs. Before she figured out the purpose of Xia Xue coming here, she couldn't let Xia Xue have the opportunity to contact JM Xu.
Here, JM Xu had never shown his face in the social circle, so few people knew him. And in T City, there were even fewer people who knew him, so when he came down, everyone just thought he was a new celebrity or model who had never been seen before, and the company specially arranged for him to show his face, so no one paid attention.
He walked around the venue, secretly observed for a while, and listened to people's conversations, but never opened his mouth. After that, he found a corner and ignored everyone.
Here, Zhao Zhehan finally finished socializing with the people around him and wanted to find Xia Xue. The people from Daewoo Economics and Trade came to meet him again, mainly to discuss with him the authorization issues of the overseas market for this new product launch conference. Zhao Zhehan just wanted to relax at this moment. He had been socializing all the time since he came in. Now seeing that Xia Xue had already arrived at the venue, he was afraid that she was not used to this kind of occasion. So he directly handed her over to Wu Yuezhen. As the main designer of this time, it was reasonable for Wu Yuezhen to discuss this matter.
After hurriedly handing the person over to Wu Yuezhen, Zhao Zhehan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xia Xue.
"Xiaoxue." The venue was very large. Zhao Zhehan was afraid that someone would notice his shabby appearance, so he directly took two glasses of juice from the receptionist and motioned Xia Xue to go to the most remote place in the venue.
Xia Xue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhao Zhehan heaving a sigh of relief.
With Zhao Zhehan's status, he should have been accustomed to this kind of socializing. But she didn't expect him to be so disgusted with it. Xia Xue couldn't help but say with a hint of ridicule: "How boring is this kind of socializing? It actually disgusts Brother Zhao so much."
Zhao Zhehan looked at him, snorted, and sat down directly. Xia Xue also sat down opposite him.
"Who likes socializing? You might as well take a good rest. Socializing all day long is so annoying." Looking at Xia Xue's smiling face, Zhao Zhehan couldn't help but relax a little. Seeing that this place was remote and there were not many people, he simply untied the tie at his collar and almost leaned back on the chair behind him.
In front of Xia Xue, he was really relaxed. From this laziness, it was not difficult to see that he completely trusted Xia Xue. He simply treated her as his own.
Xia Xue couldn't help feeling helpless when she saw Zhao Zhehan looking so tired.
She had only known him for a short time, but Zhao Zhehan made her feel like an older brother. She did not think there was anything wrong with his casual attitude, and instead felt that the two of them were getting along very easily.
I considerately went to the bar and got him some cakes. He had been busy socializing since he came in, so he must have been hungry.
Seeing Xia Xue considerately bringing the cakes, Zhao Zhehan smiled knowingly. The two of them ate a few pieces in silence to fill their stomachs, and then slowly started chatting.
I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock. It was strange that everyone knew JM Xu would come to the party, but it was so late and no one saw him.
What was even more strange was that no one at the banquet cared that he had not shown up yet, and they all waited patiently.
Looking at the bustling venue, Xia Xue couldn't help but complain: "This guy is really a big shot."
"He has the capital." JM Xu [Wu Ai]'s reputation in the industry has long been known to everyone. But very few people have actually met him. If he didn't have certain abilities, how could he have remained so mysterious?
As soon as they heard that he was coming to T City, everyone in the industry wanted to see him. If he really showed up too early, it would be really unreasonable.
Zhao Zhehan couldn't help but feel a little unsure at this moment, maybe tonight's event was just a bluff.
JM Xu will not show up at all.
"Brother Zhao, does JM Xu still want to take in an apprentice in T City?" Although he was a little disdainful of JM Xu's behavior, he couldn't deny that he did have the capital.
Well, a master-level character always makes people look forward to it. He also has many quirks, which is understandable.
"You are well-informed. You know all this." Zhao Zhehan took a sip of the juice in front of him, then pushed another glass of juice in front of Xia Xue. Then he smiled and said to her, "This juice is not bad. Try it."
Xia Xue picked up the juice and took a sip, and the two continued chatting.
The place where Zhao Zhehan and Xia Xue were sitting was very remote and it was not easy for them to be discovered.
But they didn't notice that near the corner, there was a person lying on the sofa, dressed very casually with a hat on his face.
Tong Zhenzhen looked around but didn't see JM Xu. According to his previous habits, he didn't like crowded places. So she went to a secluded place to look for him.
Now I finally saw him in the corner.
"Xu." Tong Zhenzhen was about to call him, but he suddenly reached out and covered her mouth, making a gesture to silence her.
Tong Zhenzhen looked at him with eyes wide open, only to see him pointing to a location not far away.
Zhao Zhehan, Tong Zhenzhen narrowed his eyes.
It was rumored that Zhao Zhehan had a strange personality and didn't like getting close to women. Before going abroad, Tong Zhenzhen had seen him reject a very attractive daughter of a famous family in public at a banquet.
On several occasions, I could see him from a distance and could sense the cool aura surrounding him.
Generally speaking, he is not an easy woman to get along with.
At this moment, he was talking and laughing with the woman opposite him. He looked very relaxed and even his movements were casual.
When Tong Zhenzhen looked at him, another face appeared in her mind. When that guy looked at her yesterday, he was also so casual and relaxed.
Xia Xue, what does she rely on?
Didn't she come with a woman of unknown origin? When did she hook up with Zhao Zhehan? She is really a slut. This grandpa is really something, who did he find for the third brother?
How can a woman like this be worthy of Third Brother?
She was married to her third brother over there, but she still had the guts to meet with another man here.
Yes, a private meeting.
What does she rely on?
This? In this public place, the whole person rushed over.
No, she had to tell her third brother. Let him know what kind of woman Xia Xue was.
Tong Zhenzhen made up her mind and immediately picked up her phone to take a lot of photos of Xia Xue.
JM Xu frowned as he watched Tong Zhenzhen's actions, but he didn't say anything and continued to lie quietly.
"Brother Zhao, so this is true. JM Xu really wants to accept a disciple?" After getting the affirmation from Zhao Zhehan, Xia Xue couldn't help but get even more excited.
Although Wu Yuezhen said that it is possible that she has already been selected, but in this kind of situation, if you don’t try hard, how can you know that you don’t have a chance?
In case, she is really interested.
Xia Xue must have been a little excited, and when she stretched out her hand, she accidentally knocked over the juice in front of her. Zhao Zhehan originally wanted to dodge, but because he was too relaxed just now, he almost leaned on the chair behind him. It was too late to avoid it now.
Seeing this, Xia Xue couldn't help but get anxious. She quickly grabbed a tissue and crossed the table to stop the juice from flowing onto Zhao Zhehan.
But from Tong Zhenzhen's perspective, it looked like Tong Zhenzhen pounced on Zhao Zhehan.
The Prime Minister turned down an evening social engagement and asked the driver to take him home before seven o'clock.
He opened the door and found the room dark. He checked the time, frowned, and turned on the light in the living room.
The room was quiet and Xia Xue had not returned yet.
He walked slowly into the house, feeling a little down. The little girl had clearly made three promises to him, and she had also promised to come home for dinner every night. However, he had turned down all the social events for her, and she hadn't come back yet.
Taking out his cell phone, Xiangye wanted to call her.
But she found that her number was not left in his phone.
The Prime Minister couldn't help but become a little angry and upset.
Before this, he didn't care about her, and even hated her. Naturally, he never thought that he would take the initiative to call her one day. But now it's different. He wants to know where she has been? Who is she with? What is she doing? Is she in danger? Has something happened?
He pressed the dial button and was about to ask someone to give him Xia Xue's phone number, but he noticed a piece of paper on the coffee table with beautiful handwriting, which read:
"Prime Minister, I have to attend a banquet today and won't be back too late. Don't worry!"
The Prime Minister picked up the note and read its contents carefully.
I feel a little happy inside.
Yes, happy. At this moment, he was like a boy who had just begun to fall in love. He felt satisfied after reading the content on the note.
She did not forget her agreement with him, nor did she take his words seriously.
She must have not known how to inform him, so she left him a note.
It is not difficult to know from the content of the note that she went back home specifically to tell him.
This little girl still has a conscience.
At this moment, the Prime Minister felt somewhat relieved. He sat down quietly, took off his suit jacket casually and put it aside.
He took the note and read it carefully again.
He picked up the phone and put it down again.
Once, twice, three times
In the end, I put the phone back on the coffee table.
He originally wanted to have someone check Xia Xue's schedule, but then he felt that this was not a good idea, so he gave up.
That little girl is very scheming.
It would be easy for him to find out her whereabouts, but he was afraid that the little girl would get angry with him after finding out.
She was not a canary, he should still give her freedom. He should also not be careless in giving her trust and respect.
If you really want to be with her, you must be on an equal footing with her and not restrict her freedom.
When he thought of this, the Prime Minister stopped arguing with the matter.
She definitely won't be back for dinner tonight, and he hasn't eaten yet? He can't walk slowly to the restaurant on an empty stomach to see what's good to eat.
The dining table was empty. As expected, the little girl did not come back to eat, nor did she ask anyone to cook for her.
Xiangye shook his head helplessly, cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, went back to his room, took a shower, and went directly to the study to look at documents, quietly waiting for Xia Xue to come home.
The Prime Minister looked through a few documents. The living room remained quiet. He could not help but rub his brows.
Just when I was about to pick up my phone to check the time, it suddenly notified me that there was an incoming WeChat message.
The girl didn't have his phone number, let alone WeChat. And he usually made phone calls when he had something to do, and very few people had his WeChat.
He leaned back, thinking that it must be some low-brow messages from his friends. He had nothing else to do, so he clicked on it.
A photo suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a second and a third.
A text message was sent between the photos: "Third brother, my sister-in-law is here. Why didn't you come to protect her?"
The photo was obviously taken secretly. It seems a bit far away, but it is very clear.
But the person in the photo made the prime minister squint his eyes.
He didn't get up immediately, but put down his phone, rubbed his eyebrows, and picked it up again to take a look.
His eyes looked tired, but not uneasy.
He stood up and slowly walked to the window, looking at the stars outside. He felt a suffocating feeling in his chest, and he didn't know why.
He slowly walked back to the desk, reached out to take out a cigarette from the drawer, and lit it. He stood quietly by the window, watching the busy traffic outside, put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff, but he had no urge to inhale more. Instead, he let it burn to the end.
Finally, with a bang, the Prime Minister kicked the leather chair he had just sat on, and the foot cracked.
But he calmed down, picked up his phone, went back to his room, changed his clothes and came out.
Tong Zhenzhen sent him a photo of Zhao Zhehan and Xia Xue. He didn’t need to check to know where Xia Xue was at the moment.
It has long been no secret in T City that Yunchen Group held a cocktail party for JM Xu.
The Prime Minister was not surprised that Zhao Zhehan would be present, after all, he is also a person in the fashion circle.
The Prime Minister knew how popular JM Xu was in the fashion circle. He was coming to T City to look for someone to work with, and many groups were rushing to do so, and JY was no exception.
But he was not quite sure why his girl followed Zhao Zhehan.
His girl, it seems he still knows too little about her.
Last time in the private room, he was not unaware of Zhao Zhehan's protection for her. However, what he did not expect was that a man like Zhao Zhehan, who had never been interested in women and could even be called a loner, would actually care about his girl.
However, even if he wants to protect his prime minister's woman, when will it be his turn?
Naturally, he has to protect his girl.
Looking at the time, the Prime Minister couldn't help but smile.
Girl, I'll take you home!
Xia Xue was in a state of panic and never expected that such a mess would happen.
Zhao Zhehan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xia Xue's flustered look. He reached out and took the two cups on the table to one side, then stood up calmly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Most of the juice on the table had been wiped off, but because the table was small and the juice suddenly tilted to one side, Zhao Zhehan's suit was inevitably affected.
He didn't seem to care at all.
"Brother Zhao." Zhao Zhehan was wearing an iron-gray suit tonight, and the juice on it was particularly obvious.
Xia Xue felt even more sorry when she saw him like this.
"Why don't you go back first." She suggested gently.
Who knew that Zhao Zhehan didn't care at all.
"No, I think it's good this way. Someone once said that imperfection is also a kind of beauty."
