The organizer of the reception was Lan Ruo's friend, Xia Yutian, the only daughter of the president of a commercial bank who is also the daughter of a wealthy Hong Kong family.
Xia Yutian is Lan Ruo's only close friend of a similar age in Hong Kong's rich circle. Of course, she will attend Xia Yutian's birthday party in person to support her.
The residential areas of wealthy people in Hong Kong are relatively concentrated, so the villas of the two families are actually not far apart.
At the door of the Xia family's mansion, there are two long rows of luxury cars parked. Most of them are ultra-luxury limited edition sports cars, all of the world's top brands. It can be seen that the guests arriving tonight are mostly young men and women from wealthy families. It can be said that
, at tonight’s cocktail party, basically all the respectable unmarried young people from Hong Kong’s upper class will show up.
The door was open, and two rows of female Filipino maids stood on either side. Well-dressed young men and women, chatting and laughing, either alone or in groups, walked into the brightly lit villa complex of the Xia family under the respectful attention of the maids.
Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo stood not far away, looking at the room with a strange smile subconsciously appearing on their lips.
Lan Ruo glanced at him and said softly, "Why are you smiling so evilly?"
"The so-called high society in Hong Kong, the so-called social drinking parties..." Zhou Nan originally wanted to scorn and ridicule, "These dandy boys appear to be sanctimonious on the surface, but they are actually full of male thieves and female prostitutes." Then he thought again, Lan Ruo was also born in this circle, and later on
The words stopped abruptly and no more words were said.
Lan Ruo frowned. In fact, she didn't really like these wealthy children who were dressed in luxury and were accustomed to living a life of feasting and entertainment. However, she was born in this circle and had nothing to do. At most, she just kept herself clean.
"Let's go, let's have some fun. If you don't like it, let's try not to participate in such occasions in the future. In fact, I rarely come, but today is Yu Tian's birthday, so I can't help but come to support her!"
Lan Ruo said softly and tugged on Zhou Nan's clothes.
Zhou Nan smiled slightly, letting Lan Ruo hold his arm, and then the two of them walked slowly towards the villa park.
Zhou Nan is wearing a black and white plaid casual suit, a pair of light blue casual pants, and brown casual leather shoes. He looks tall, upright, and elegant; while Lan Ruo is wearing a navy blue evening dress and has long black hair.
Her hair is styled into a high bun, her beautiful face is covered with light makeup, and her fair and tender neck is tied with a pink silk scarf. She has a luxurious temperament and is stunningly beautiful.
To be honest, compared with these young men here tonight, Zhou Nan's dress is inconspicuous, and Lan Ruo doesn't have the jewelery that other women have, but the two of them walked in together and attracted everyone present in an instant.
All eyes.
No one knows Zhou Nan, but Lan Ruo is a well-known figure who is admired by all the stars!
Some people's eyes were shocked, while others' eyes were dull, and some people's eyes shone with naked jealousy. In a corner, the young master of the Chen family, Chen Boming, who was chatting and laughing with someone, exclaimed in the audience.
In the midst of the sound, with an awkward posture, he turned to look at Lan Ruo and Zhou Nan who were walking in hand in hand, and his expression immediately turned gloomy.
The reason why Chen Boming worked hard to attend Xia Yutian's birthday party today was mainly because he wanted to meet Lan Ruo in person and ask her what happened... But unexpectedly, Lan Ruo walked in hand in hand with a man with a happy and sweet look on her face.
Publicly attending events...this means that Lan Ruo's heart has become a fact and cannot be changed.
Thinking of this, Chen Boming couldn't help but feel a little angry, hysterically angry.
He had already inquired about it, and according to people from Lan's Enterprise, Lan Ruo's mysterious boyfriend was just the manager of a small company invested by Lan's Enterprise in the mainland, and did not have any prominent family background.
Why does such a little man enter the palace and win Lan Ruo's heart? Why does he? How can he be worthy of the fairy-like Lan Ruo!
In fact, not only Chen Boming, but almost everyone present focused their attention on Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan looked calm, smiled, and behaved calmly. In his heart, these people in front of him were just rich dudes. Even though they were covered in luxurious gold and jade, they could not hide their inner corruption.
Xia Yutian, who was wearing heavy makeup and a bright red silk evening dress, tugged at the hem of her skirt and walked over in a hurry. First she glanced at Zhou Nan with surprised eyes, and then she was about to say hello to Lan Ruo when suddenly her eyes fell on Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo.
There was an engagement ring on the hand that she was holding tightly, and her eyebrows were raised.
A strange color flashed across Xia Yutian's charming face.
After a long time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Lan Ruo, who are you... who is this?"
Lan Ruo slowly let go of Zhou Nan's hand and smiled slightly, "Yu Tian, this is Zhou Nan, my college classmate, and also my... fiancé!"
When Lan Ruo said the last three words, her voice was slightly shy, but extremely firm and peaceful. And when these three faint words "fiancé" reached everyone's ears, it was no less than a bombshell.
Xia Yutian took a breath of cold air, grabbed Lan Ruo's arm and lowered her voice, "Lan Ruo, when did you have a fiancé... Why didn't I know? I've heard about you since this morning... I originally thought
It’s a rumor, but it turns out...your family agrees?"
"He just came to Hong Kong recently, and I haven't had time to introduce you to him... My family - haha, my grandfather and parents agreed. He had dinner at our house last night!"
Zhou Nan stood there quietly, ignoring the cold and hostile looks around him. He only had Lan Ruo in his eyes, and everyone else was just a bitch in his eyes. If it wasn't to accompany Lan Ruo, he wouldn't bother to spend time in such boredom
Wasting time in social situations.
Lan Ruo turned around and glanced at Zhou Nan tenderly. Zhou Nan smiled knowingly, took a step forward slowly, and took the initiative to extend his hand to Xia Yutian, "Hello, Miss Xia, I have known you for a long time, and I have heard Lan Ruo talk about you before."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Xia Yutian shook hands with Zhou Nan and looked at Zhou Nan carefully, but she couldn't say a word.
Since Lan Ruo said that the young man in front of him has been recognized by the Lan family, it means that his marriage with Lan Ruo is a foregone conclusion... However, I heard that this man's family background is very ordinary, and he is just a child of an ordinary cadre in the mainland. So, he relies on
What attracted Lan Ruo and how did he pass the "censorship" of the Lan family?
Chen Boming strode over with an ugly expression. He knew in his heart that doing so would not help. It would only make Lan Ruo look down on him even more, and at the same time he would lose face as the eldest young master of the Chen family, but he still couldn't control the huge feeling in his heart.
Anger and injustice.
Why?
Chen Boming was not the only person who felt unfair and jealous, but there was only one Chen Boming who could completely break his face and stand up. This was an accident, but it was also inevitable.
"Lan Ruo..." Chen Boming said hello to Lan Ruo with a forced smile, but his cold eyes only looked at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan glanced at this person and guessed that this was probably one of Lan Ruo's former "die-hard fans". Since he accompanied Lan Ruo to make a public appearance, he had already prepared enough thoughts to face such "jealous people"
I was prepared, so I naturally didn’t take Chen Boming’s angry look to heart.
Lan Ruo frowned, smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, is something okay?"
Chen Boming smiled bitterly, but turned to stare at Zhou Nan coldly, "Lan Ruo, I want to talk to Mr. Zhou alone."
Zhou Nan hadn't spoken yet. Lan Ruo was afraid of arousing Zhou Nan's resentment, so she waved her hands impatiently and said, "No need, it's the same thing if you say something in front of me."
With that said, Lan Ruo turned around and snuggled up to Zhou Nan's side tenderly. That strange tenderness, the kind of tenderness that had never bloomed in front of others, made Chen Boming's eyes burst into flames.
Chen Boming could no longer control the endless jealousy in his heart and sneered, "As a man, don't stand behind a woman. Stand up and let everyone see who you are and what methods you have used to kill someone."
Our most beautiful princess in Hong Kong was deceived!"
As soon as Chen Boming said these words, everyone around him gloated and held his breath and looked at the room, ready to watch the excitement.
Chen Boming's behavior can be said to be very rude. Not to mention arousing Lan Ruo's anger, it also made his owner Xia Yutian very disgusted.
Lan Ruo's good-looking Liu Meier frowned, and when she was about to scold Chen Boming, Zhou Nan took her hand. Zhou Nan squeezed her little hand and signaled her not to be too excited, then slowly stepped forward and stood
In front of Lanruo.
"I, Zhou Nan, come from Haidu, the mainland..." Zhou Nan looked around and smiled faintly, "What I need to correct you is that Lan Ruo and I were in love and came together freely, and it was not a scam. I also want to correct you.
I would like to remind Mr. Chen that this is a social gathering place for Hong Kong’s upper class, not a food stall, and Mr. Chen is also a well-known and wealthy man in Hong Kong. Don’t make people laugh by saying some ungraceful words.”
"You are a small mainland manager... What do you like, Lan Ruo? I think you are aiming at the billions of wealth of Lan's Enterprise, right? For a person like you, being able to get involved with Lan's Enterprise is a step to the sky.
..." Chen Boming smiled sarcastically, "What do you have? What can you give Lan Ruo? Why did you marry Lan Ruo?"
"Oh?" Zhou Nan suddenly laughed, "I don't have anything. I only have one heart, and all I can give Lan Ruo is this heart."
Zhou Nan looked back at Lan Ruo. His voice was calm and gentle. He did not become angry or lose his temper because of Chen Boming's aggressiveness. Among everyone present, only Lan Ruo could perceive and understand the profound connotation of Zhou Nan's ordinary words.
Lan Ruo walked over lightly and snuggled next to Zhou Nan as if no one else was around. The look of a gentle and shy little girl with low eyebrows and eyes surprised everyone. Is this the same Lan Ruo, the aloof and aloof princess of the past who was like a fairy in the moon?
