After finally finding a quiet corner, Bai Xiaojian eagerly looked around and said, "Strange, why didn't I see my mother?"
"She is one of the main characters today, so of course she went on stage with Zheng Li," replied someone.
Lulin Yuan didn't understand Zheng Li's motive, but he knew that since Zheng Li had started this play, he must see it through.
Zhao Na's appearance would definitely not be taken lightly; at the very least, it needed to match the depth of affection he expressed in the news.
"So that's how it is." After getting the answer, Bai Xiao Jian didn't ask any more questions and focused on waiting for the start of the banquet.
When the time came, the banquet started on time, and Zheng Li led Zhao Na, slowly walking down from the revolving staircase under everyone's gaze.
Tonight's Zhao Na is very different from usual. She not only wears a specially tailored cheongsam, but also styles her hair in a bun. Her makeup is even more delicate. If someone who doesn't know her identity saw her, they would probably think she is a young lady from a prominent family.
Bai Xiaojian stood in surprise below, watching Zhao Na slowly walk down the stairs. There was a moment when she didn't even recognize that this person was her mother.
"Mom, you look really beautiful today."
With a sigh of praise from Bai Xiaojian, Lu Linyuan's eyes became even more profound.
After days of training, Zhao Na appeared to be quite composed on the surface, but her heart had been beating like a drum long ago.
She whispered in Zheng Li's ear, "I'm so nervous."
"It's okay, you did great tonight." Zheng Li said with a smile, leading Zhao Na step by step to the center of the living room.
Yaqin saw this and only sneered, "You're quite good at pretending."
But the envy in her eyes was impossible to hide. She desperately wished that she could be the one standing next to Zheng Li, not Zhao Na.
According to tradition, Zheng Li spoke a few words on stage. The front part of his speech was cliché, but he added a sentence at the end: "Zhao Na, the lady standing beside me, is my soul mate that I hope to spend my entire life with, holding hands."
Whether genuine or fake, the audience in the audience is applauding at this moment, and Zhao Na is also moved and tears filled her eyes. She is grateful that she can find a good man like Zheng Li.
After coming down from the stage, Zheng Li held Zhao Na's hand and headed straight for Lu Linyuan and Bai Xiaojian.
"I'm glad that both of you could come today. I was a little worried, to be honest."
Zheng Li also has a nickname in the business world called "smiling tiger", which means that no matter how he calculates you in his mind, every time you see him, he always smiles and you can't see his true thoughts.
"No one should refuse Mr. Zheng's invitation. Mr. Zheng is a bit too lacking in confidence in himself."
Lulinyuan raised his glass, they clinked glasses, took a small sip, and put them down.
"I don't care about others, but Mr. Lu and Xiaojian are the people I need to please the most. After all, only after passing your test can I truly marry Xiaona."
When Zheng Li said this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Na, and there was a sweet expression between the two as they met each other's gaze.
"Well, Zheng, you better impress me. I won't easily hand my mother over to someone else."
Bai Xiaojian also raised his wine glass. Judging from Zheng Li's arrangements and performance at tonight's banquet, he at least passed the first hurdle.
While they were talking, no one dared to interrupt easily around. Everyone...
知道，这四个人之间的关系非浅，也没有人会7e1f5855这么没有眼色。
可偏偏，雅琴就是不走寻常路。
她端着一杯红酒，就搔首弄姿的插进了四个人中间，甚至毫不避嫌的站在郑力的另外一边。
"Mr. Zheng, I have heard of your esteemed reputation for a long time, but never had the chance to meet you. Finally, I ran into you today. Mr. Zheng, please do me a favor and have a drink with me."
Zheng remained calm and withdrew his hand from Yaqin's chest, deliberately standing at a distance from her. "Miss, I believe we don't know each other, so you don't have to get so close to me."
"Just because we didn't know each other before, doesn't mean we won't in the future, right? I just want to have a drink with you. Mr. Zheng, you wouldn't be so heartless, would you? I don't think Mrs. Zhao would mind either, right?"
雅琴故意将话题又引到了赵娜的身上，赵娜还是第一次处理这样的状况，不免有些手足无措起来。
白小简看出了雅琴是在故意为难赵娜，正准备开口讲话，却被郑力给抢先了。
"Even if she doesn't mind, I do. I'm sorry, but I won't have drinks with someone else while I have a female companion with me. Please find someone else, madam."
Zheng Li's gesture of pushing away Yaqin seemed proper, but it had a hidden meaning.
Normally, when pushing someone's shoulder, one should clench their fist to avoid any suspicion. However, Zheng Li, on the other hand, placed his entire open hand on Yaqin's exposed shoulder, and even quietly scratched her back with his fingers.
His action was so subtly meaningful that it was easy to understand. Yaqin appeared to be angry and left, but as she turned around, she smiled ambiguously. It seems that Zheng Li is not a faithful man.
Unfortunately, this action of his went unnoticed by others. As observant as Lü Linyuan was, he didn't understand male and female relationships as well as Zheng Li. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't understand the meaning behind this gesture.
In Bai Xiaojian's eyes, Zheng Li's actions are undoubtedly a plus for him. She found that she no longer resists Zheng Li as she did at the beginning, and everything seems to be slowly developing in a positive direction.
No one knows, as soon as the banquet ended, the butler took Yaqin to Zheng Li's room, as for how many ambiguous marks she had on her body the next day, let's not mention it for now.
Lv Linyuan went to a distant place for business, which took him three or four days. When he came back, it was 3 am in the morning, and there were almost no people on the street, and even the vehicles became very scarce.
"Wait a minute." Lu Linyuan suddenly shouted to stop, and the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped. "What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"
"Whose villa is that nearby?" Lu Linyuan looked at a familiar figure outside the window and squinted his eyes.
The driver took a glance and quickly averted his gaze, "Mr. Lu, that's Mr. Zheng's villa. You were here for a banquet not long ago."
"I see," Lu Linyin stared at the figure as he got into the car and walked away, gradually pretending nothing had happened, "It's fine, let's go."
After the car drove away, Lu Linyuan started thinking about the silhouette he had just seen.
He had a good memory and was confident that he hadn't mistaken it. The person who came out of the villa just now must be the woman who tried to seduce her at Zheng Li's villa.
But it is already 3 o'clock in the morning, why did she come out of Zheng Li's villa out of nowhere? The most important thing is that the car that took her back is Zheng Li's exclusive. Zheng Li seems to be aware of it, maybe this car was specially assigned by him.
Lu Linyuan suddenly realized that, from what he had heard about Zheng Li's actions abroad, his brows were furrowed tightly, hoping that it wouldn't turn out the way he had speculated.
"She is one of the main characters today, so of course she went on stage with Zheng Li," replied someone.
Lulin Yuan didn't understand Zheng Li's motive, but he knew that since Zheng Li had started this play, he must see it through.
