Chapter 20 Cheng Qian is the best actress tonight
"You play the piano so well. You are indeed a talented woman." At the railing next to the pool, several of Li Zhinan's friends in the circle were sitting on the sofa chairs.
Sitting in order were Fang Zhuo, Luo Sheng, Ji Yichen, and the calm Chu Huaijing.
Fang Zhuo was immersed in the music with an obsessed look on his face, uttering bursts of admiration.
Chu Huaijing's sister Chu Yun also clapped her fingers: "Wow, Sister Cheng Yan is really amazing, she's good at everything. I heard that she plays tennis as well as a professional player."
"That's right. She has been a top student since she was young. She is smart and learns things quickly." Fang Zhuo is a fan of Cheng Yan.
Ji Yichen looked at Cheng Yan in the center of the pool without saying a word.
Looking at her would remind him of another woman.
Compared to Cheng Yan's bright, delicate, thorny wild rose, Cheng Qian is like the wild camellia that can be seen everywhere on the mountains in spring. She is reserved in nature, but she also stunningly fills the mountains with spring.
Chu Yun clapped her hands for a while, then immediately glanced at Ji Yichen beside her. Seeing that he didn't look at the center of the pool, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The piano music died down, and immediately several professional violinists began to play.
Cheng Yan lightly pinched the hem of her skirt, took light steps, and walked over with a smile on her face, wearing a bright and charming fishtail skirt.
"Sorry for the poor performance." Cheng Yan said modestly.
"Cheng Yan, your piano skills are on par with the world-class level, yet you are still so humble." Fang Zhuo praised with a smile.
"No, I didn't have much time to practice the piano. My parents pushed me into it, so I only learned it roughly for a few years." Cheng Yan smiled helplessly.
"You've reached this level in just a few years." Chu Yun immediately felt inferior: "Oh, this is so discouraging. I've studied for more than ten years, but I can't play as well as you."
As everyone was talking, Fang Zhuo's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Why is she here?"
"Who is it?" Chu Yun turned her head and looked over: "Hey, I remember President Li said she wouldn't come today."
Chu Huaijing said calmly, "I guess it was Madam Li who invited her here."
Cheng Qian was not going to come originally, but Jiang Meng came to pick her up in person and said that he would take her to attend the dinner tonight.
Cheng Yan's face suddenly turned pale. If Cheng Qian came, would she no longer be able to be Li Zhinan's female companion?
Ji Yichen put down his wine glass and stood up: "I'll go over and say hello."
Chu Yun's pretty face became anxious, and she asked hurriedly: "Brother Ji, you are very familiar with Mrs. Li."
Ji Yichen nodded: "My dad and her dad used to be colleagues."
After saying that, Ji Yichen walked towards Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian wore a champagne-colored dress with her long hair tied up. She only wore a pair of diamond earrings. She looked simple and elegant, exuding a clean and natural nobility.
Jiang Meng held his grandson in his arms, smiling and nodding to others.
When Jiang Meng saw Cheng Yan not far away, she knew that her decision was right.
She couldn't stop her son from interacting with Miss Cheng because of work reasons.
But she also has to prevent her son from getting too close to her in public and causing misunderstandings.
Tonight is a good opportunity. She brought her eldest daughter-in-law here so that everyone can get to know her and put an end to Miss Cheng's unrealistic ideas.
Cheng Qian came here because she was really forced by Jiang Meng. She felt a little helpless.
Li Zhinan was talking to several important clients when his assistant Wang Rui suddenly said to him, "Mr. Li, my wife and her husband are here with their children."
The man holding the red wine glass was slightly startled. He turned around and saw his mother and the woman in a champagne-colored dress following her.
Li Zhinan nodded and said, "Excuse me."
Jiang Meng brought Cheng Qian directly to Li Zhinan before Li Zhinan could say anything.
The mother fed him a big fat son.
"Mom... why did you come here suddenly?" Li Zhinan remembered that his mother didn't say she was coming.
Moreover, when he invited Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian also showed a cold attitude.
What is the situation now?
This woman was being stubborn and saying she couldn't come, and she even dragged her mother along as a foil? Ultimately, she was worried about him finding another woman as a companion, wasn't she?
Thinking of this, Li Zhinan's lips twitched slightly. When did Cheng Qian become hypocritical?
Cheng Qian's amber eyes met the man's deep black eyes.
It seems that she has a hard time explaining.
"Zhi Nan, hold Xiao Ye and take Xiao Qian with you, and go say hello to your friends. It's time to take Xiao Qian out to see the world. It will be boring to stay at home every day." Jiang Meng said to her son with a smile, but her eyes were giving orders.
"Okay." Li Zhinan didn't dare to disobey his mother's authority. He held his son in one hand and used his free hand to directly hold Cheng Qian's finger: "Come here, let me introduce you to her."
Cheng Qian didn't expect the man to reach out and grab her fingers. She froze instinctively and tried to shake his fingers off, but the man held on tightly.
Cheng Qian didn't want to lose face in public, so she had to let the man lead her.
Li Zhinan introduced Cheng Qian to his clients and friends, and everyone was amazed.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhinan married such a beautiful and gentle wife. Such a face is worth cherishing.
Cheng Qian doesn't often attend such business occasions, but she is not afraid of them.
When someone talks to her, she is polite and courteous.
Many of the people around were seeing Cheng Qian in person for the first time.
Therefore, Cheng Qian's appearance became the focus of everyone's comments.
Cheng Yan had no performance to perform today, and her expression darkened.
Holding a glass of red wine, leaning back in a chair.
Chu Yun was like her little tail, sitting next to her with a glass of wine in hand.
On the other side, several women were openly talking about Cheng Qian's appearance.
"I thought he was so ugly that I didn't want to bring him out."
"She's so beautiful, Mr. Li, maybe he can hide her. Is he afraid that someone will snatch her away?"
"I heard that her parents were both big names in the scientific research community, but they passed away in an accident."
"Guess what, Mr. Li married her because of her excellent genes."
Chu Yun also heard the conversation between the women and stole a glance at Cheng Yan's expression.
Cheng Yan felt lost.
"Sister Cheng Yan, with her plain looks, how can you call her beautiful? What's with that look in her eyes?" Chu Yun immediately sneered in a low voice.
Cheng Yan felt much better and said calmly, "Everyone has their own preferences. Maybe Zhinan likes her who is as pure as a chrysanthemum."
Chu Yun continued to mock: "She is as plain as a chrysanthemum, how can she be as beautiful as a gorgeous rose? Sister Cheng Yan, if you go over and stand next to her, she can't even compare to your hair."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan immediately smiled: "Xiao Yun, thank you for your comfort, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so let nature take its course."
Chu Yun said with certainty: "Sister Cheng Yan, I believe you. President Li will fall in love with you sooner or later."
Cheng Yan was shocked and wondered if Chu Yun was mentally ill. How could she say such things in public?
"Chu Yun, this kind of talk will cause trouble, don't say it anymore." Cheng Yan immediately reminded seriously.
Chu Yun covered her mouth in fear: "Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Cheng Yan, I was just standing up for you."
Cheng Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, I am so lucky to have a friend like you."
Chu Yun smiled as if she had received the highest level of praise.
Ji Yichen waited until Cheng Qian and Li Zhinan finished greeting each other before he appeared beside Cheng Qian at the right time.
"Xiao Qian, I didn't expect you to come." Ji Yichen's handsome face was warm.
Cheng Qian smiled at him and said, "Brother Yichen, you are here too."
When Li Zhinan heard their name, he frowned but said nothing.
"I want to talk to Brother Yichen about the progress of the laboratory." Cheng Qian really didn't want to stay with Li Zhinan. The gazes from all around were about to drown her.
Li Zhinan then loosened his clenched fingers and carried his son to his friend's place.
Ji Yichen lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Qian, and found that she was in a bad mood.
"I just heard from Fang Zhuo and the others that Zhinan didn't often bring you out before." Ji Yichen asked.
"Yes, mainly because I don't really like this kind of occasion." Cheng Qian adjusted her hair beside her ear and answered in a low voice.
Ji Yichen could understand her feelings. As a scientific researcher, he preferred quiet thinking.
This gorgeous scene may seem harmonious, but it is actually a world of fame and fortune. People with pure hearts will feel out of place.
"I am responsible for purchasing the equipment this time. My father said that you have a research that urgently requires experiments. I will do it as soon as possible!" Ji Yichen whispered.
Cheng Qian glanced at Jiang Meng who was talking to someone not far away.
No matter how expensive the cosmetics are, they can hardly hide her haggard appearance.
Cheng Qian wanted to start the experiment just to use data to prove from multiple perspectives that the product that Cheng Bio used to make profits should not be put into production at all.
Cheng Qian wants to save more than just Li Zhiwei, she just wants to prevent this disaster.
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Yichen. I'm really a little anxious." Cheng Qian said softly.
Ji Yichen looked at the beautiful face in front of him. The light makeup made him lose his mind.
When Ji Yichen walked over just now, he heard a lot of people talking about Cheng Qian's appearance.
But they don’t know that her beautiful appearance is Cheng Qian’s least noteworthy advantage.
Cheng Qian followed Li Zhinan's figure with her eyes.
When she saw Cheng Yan walking towards him with a car in her hand, her heart tightened.
"Brother Yichen, I'll be over there for a moment."
Cheng Qian walked straight towards her son.
Cheng Yan guides her children to call her mother, which shows that she is quite ambitious.
Before, it was because she was not around and unable to stop it.
Now, she would never give Cheng Yan the chance to get close to her son.
When Cheng Yan wanted to magic the car in front of Xiaoye.
A gentle female voice sounded: "Xiao Ye, come, mommy will take you to eat something delicious."
The little guy immediately jumped off his father's legs and threw himself into Cheng Qian's arms.
When Cheng Yan saw this scene, her pretty face froze.
Cheng Qian took her son's hand and went towards the food area.
Cheng Yan awkwardly put the car on the table and looked at Li Zhinan helplessly: "My cousin doesn't seem to want me to contact Xiaoye anymore."
Li Zhinan also realized that this woman had a very strong possessiveness towards her son.
"Don't worry about it." Li Zhinan comforted her.
