Halfway through the banquet, He Yuancai invited He Jing to dance the first dance.
He stood outside the dance floor, observing others for a long time to make sure he wouldn't embarrass He Jing, before solemnly extending an invitation to her.
Once inside the dance floor, he awkwardly took He Jing's hand, his palms sweaty. He Jing couldn't help but chuckle, "Big brother, relax."
Sweat beaded on He Yuan's nose. He carefully and cautiously finished the dance with He Jing, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Big brother, you didn't embarrass yourself, did you?"
He Jing shook her head and said, "No, Big Brother danced very well."
He already had the air of an elegant gentleman on his first jump.
He Yuan smiled, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch He Jing's head, handing her a glass of juice.
Soon, people seized the opportunity to approach He Yuan, this rising star in the business world, trying to establish a relationship with him so that they could get a share of the profits when things went well in the future.
He Jing didn't interrupt, but stood quietly to the side, watching He Yuan respond calmly and steadily, showing no signs of being a novice.
Suddenly, the CEO who had come over to talk to her turned his gaze to He Jing and said with a smile, "This must be Mr. He's sister, right? She's really beautiful, not at all inferior to the Cheng family's daughter who just appeared."
He Jing: "..."
here we go again.
I'm numb.
However, before she could even take it to heart, He Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone could even be described as displeased: "My sister is unique, no one can compare to her."
The boss was taken aback by the harsh words. Even though he was usually good at hiding his emotions, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He thought to himself: "Comparing a poor girl who hasn't even entered the upper class to a rich girl is actually giving her too much credit. I didn't expect He Yuan to be unhappy. He's such a brainless sister-obsessed guy."
He Yuan seemed to see right through the man's thoughts. His mature and handsome features suddenly turned cold and stern. He pulled He Jing aside and ignored him.
He Jing was also surprised and puzzled by He Yuan's strong reaction: "Big brother, why are you angry?"
Although she also disliked others comparing her to Cheng Yi, she wasn't angry enough to be.
He Yuan looked at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, his face unusually sullen: "The thought that you'll hear these kinds of things every time I bring you to these kinds of events is really annoying."
Upon hearing this, He Jing smiled and her eyes crinkled into a smile. Her tone was teasing and mischievous as she asked, "Does my brother think I'm more important than your Xiao Yi?"
He Yuan answered almost without thinking, "Yes, you mean something to me incomparable."
No one can compare to He Jing.
Even a journey ticket is not acceptable.
The thought of the company growing bigger in the future, attracting more attention to the He family, and the possibility that busybodies might dig up the fact that He Jing and Cheng Yi had switched identities and then make a comprehensive comparison between the two made him feel depressed.
He wanted to bring He Jing glory, not the pointless stares of others and the endless gossip.
He Jing, however, didn't care at all and smiled, saying, "Alright, let them say what they want. If I really cared that much, I would have dropped out of school when I returned to Yin Gao after losing my status as the Cheng family's daughter."
He Yuan felt a little better and silently resolved that he must work hard to make the company bigger and stronger, until one day it surpasses the Cheng family. Then people would no longer compare He Jing with Cheng Yi, but rather compare Cheng Yi with He Jing.
At this moment, the boss, who had just been turned down, went to find his female companion, only to discover that she was mingling with a group of socialites.
Seeing that he was unhappy, his female companion asked him a few questions with great concern, and the man then poured out what had just happened like a sack of potatoes.
