Chapter 43
Whether it is the resources and connections in this circle, most of them are helped by the Yan family. If the Yan family has any needs, Mo Keyu is always put first.
Also participating in this event were Lin Qi and Zhang Xiaoli. After Lin Qi escaped from the sea of suffering, he gradually walked out of the shadows with the encouragement of Mo Keyu and Zhang Xiaoli.
Lin Qi's family strongly supports Lin Qi in finding a new partner.
There are tens of thousands of men in the world, and you will always find the right one.
In fact, helping Lin Qi was just a piece of cake. After that incident, Lin Qi's family was extremely grateful to Mo Keyu and specially introduced an internationally renowned designer to design a dress for Mo Keyu.
Mo Keyu was beautiful with a good figure. She stunned others when she put on a dress. All the daughters of wealthy families had this style. When she got there, she found that there were so many beautiful women competing for beauty. Even so, she was still the most special one.
There was another reason why she agreed to attend a dance of this nature:
Dad Mo said there are a lot of handsome guys here!
Who doesn’t like to see handsome men and beautiful women? Those who come here are the handsome men and beautiful women from wealthy families.
When they arrived at the dance venue, Mo Keyu was feasting his eyes on every luxury car with young masters and young ladies wearing different dresses. This kind of dance is provided for rich people to meet the opposite sex. Most of them are single men and women, and some parents come to check.
"Miss Mo, here." A person waved at her from a distance. The person was wearing a white dress, with hair carefully braided behind his head, and his face was rosy.
"Ms. Lin, you can just call me by my name." Mo Keyu said, running towards Lin Qi.
"Keyu, your dress is really beautiful."
Lin Qi said that even though she had only known Mo Keyu for a short time, she was still grateful to him. If it weren't for him, her future might have been ruined because of her impulsive behavior.
On the contrary, those friends who used to get along well with her superficially wished her well, but after knowing that the Lin family severed ties with her, except for Zhang Xiaoli, all of them cut off contact with her.
"Then I have to thank you. Your family introduced me to this designer. The clothes he designed are so beautiful." Mo Keyu said, and they chatted briefly for a few more sentences.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoli also came, followed by a couple. The couple greeted Zhang Xiaoli and went out to play hand in hand.
"Hey, is it Mr. Shen following behind you?" Mo Keyu asked curiously.
"Yes, it's my uncle and aunt."
"Are Shen Mingli and the others here too?" Mo Keyu hadn't taken his eyes off the couple since they came out until they disappeared from his sight.
"My cousin rarely attends such gatherings. The last time he attended was when he was 17 or 18 years old. At that time, his uncle and aunt began to find a suitable girl for him. However, when he went there, he was stuffed with two pockets of contact information. Many people lined up to dance with him. Later, he never attended such gatherings again..."
[Hahaha, so this actually happened. Shen Mingli must have been very young at the age of 17 or 18. I really want to see what he looks like.]
"Your cousin is really popular." said Mo Keyu.
"My cousin is a very stubborn person. Once he sets his mind on something, he will do it to the utmost. He pursues perfection and devotes himself to his career. He has not had a girlfriend in all these years.
Ke Yu, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that my cousin is bad, or that he has other shortcomings that prevent him from having a girlfriend. On the contrary, I think my cousin is not the type of person who would easily start a relationship with someone, and if he does, it would probably be for life."
[Wow, he's such a loyal person. I wonder what kind of person he'll end up with.]
"Your cousin is such a reliable person." Mo Keyu sighed.
Zhang Xiaoli gave Mo Keyu a meaningful look: "Yes, he is indeed very reliable."
…
The three of them came to the banquet hall.
Many people knew Zhang Xiaoli and Lin Qi and came over to greet them. Some were acquaintances and some were relatives.
Mo Keyu stood aside. She didn't know many people of her age, and even fewer in this gathering of single men and women. She could only say hello to the people Zhang Xiaoli and Lin Qi knew.
"Hey, Sister Mo!"
A deep and familiar voice exclaimed, and Mo Keyu turned around. The other person was wearing a suit and tie, his hair was specially styled, and he had a light perfume on. He had a sturdy figure and was particularly conspicuous standing out in the crowd.
"Yanxuan?" Mo Keyu was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"My brother brought me here, saying he wanted me to meet more people."
Not long after Yan Xuan returned to China, he seemed to have been transformed, and even his speech became much more elegant.
Mo Keyu said "oh", and then both sides ran out of topics to talk about and fell into silence.
Yan Xuan swallowed his saliva and looked at the beautiful Sister Yan in front of him. He was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After a long while, he finally spoke:
"Um, Sister Mo, can I invite you to dance later?"
"Invite me?" Mo Keyu was a little surprised. "But I'm not very good at dancing. I only know a few simple steps."
"It's okay, Sister Mo, I can do it. I'll lead you to dance then."
Yan Xuan said that he had learned these social skills since he was a child, and he used to think they were boring, but he never thought they would come in handy today.
Mo Keyu hesitated.
[It seems that family members can also dance together. If you can’t find a dance partner, you can find your friends or brothers and sisters.]
[It shouldn’t be a problem for me to dance with my brother, but I’m afraid of holding Yanxuan back.]
Yan Xuan: ...
Have I really become a younger brother?
"Okay then, I'll try my best not to make any mistakes. I hope you don't mind." Mo Keyu agreed.
"Okay, Sister Mo, we're going to start playing new music soon, let's get ready first."
Mo Keyu said hello to Zhang Xiaoli and Lin Qi beside him: "Then I'm going to dance first."
"Yeah, okay."
Yan Xuan half bowed to Mo Keyu and then stretched out his hand towards her, making an inviting gesture. Mo Keyu stared at his hand and paused.
[What is this...doing?]
[Let me think, oh, this is an invitation to dance, so I should put my hand on his hand in response.]
[Yanxuan, this kid, made such a sudden gesture, it took me a long time to react, haha.]
[How polite! It's totally different from when we first met.]
Yan Xuan: ...
Mo Keyu put her hand on Yan Xuan's hand, and Yan Xuan pulled her to the middle of the hall.
At this time, the orchestra had not started playing yet. Mo Keyu was standing in front of Yan Xuan wearing a blue dress, with long wavy hair draped over her left shoulder. She exuded a faint fragrance. All the muscles in Yan Xuan's body began to tense.
The sound of piano began to sound slowly, and Yan Xuan pulled Mo Keyu and led her to dance slowly. The difficulty of this song was not high, and Mo Keyu could barely keep up, but for some reason her dancer had beads of sweat on his forehead and his palms were sweating as well.
[What's wrong with Yanxuan? Why are you sweating so much?]
[Is it because of the well-developed sweat glands?!]
[You're sweating so much just after dancing. You look too advanced.]
[Why not ask him to stop and wipe his sweat? The sweat on his forehead is almost blurring his eyes.]
"Yanxuan, should we stop first?" Mo Keyu said in a low voice, tilting her head up to meet Yanxuan's eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Yan Xuan was stunned even though his eyes were covered with sweat. He had never seen such beautiful eyes, with long eyelashes and a gleam in the eyes. The beautiful almond eyes were captivating. This time, not only did he sweat faster, but his heart also beat violently.
"No, Sister Mo, I'm still fine," he said. His heartbeat was too fast and he was a beat slower. By the time he reacted, the music had reached its climax. "Sister Mo, turn around."
"Oh, ah?" Mo Keyu was thrown around and turned around, but he messed up his steps when he came back and stepped on the opponent's foot directly.
Yan Xuan groaned with a painful expression.
Mo Keyu was wearing eight-centimeter stilettos, and stepping on the other person's feet was like drilling them with a nail.
"Are you okay? Why don't we stop for a minute?"
Even Mo Keyu felt some pain, as Yan Xuan's face in front of him turned blue.
Even so, he still held on, gritting his teeth and replied, "No, I'm fine."
The opponent's two feet began to become uncoordinated, and Mo Keyu had no choice but to continue jumping. It was another climax, but before he had jumped a few times, his heel accidentally poked the opponent.
"Well," Yan Xuan groaned again, his facial features shrinking into a ball, "It's okay, let's finish dancing this song."
"Oh, okay."
Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Mo Keyu had no choice but to continue dancing. The two people's dancing became more and more uncoordinated, as if they were fighting.
It was more like a battle dance than a dance, and both of them looked grim.

Zhang Xiaoli was chatting with Lin Qi when she suddenly received a voice call from Shen Mingli.
"Cousin, what's the matter?"
"Are my parents there?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"I couldn't get through on the phone just now. Can you tell them that I can't come today because of something else."
This was not the first or second time that he had refused to participate in this type of activity. He was already very familiar with it. However, this time Zhang Xiaoli did not agree directly. Instead, she looked at Mo Keyu who was dancing with another young master in the hall.
"Cousin, I saw Miss Mo here," Zhang Xiaoli switched the voice call to a video call, focusing the camera on Mo Keyu who was dancing and another handsome guy. "As soon as she arrived, someone invited her to dance. Miss Mo is really popular."
The other end of the phone fell silent...
It was not until the end of the dance that a low voice was heard in the video:
"I'll be there later."
