The venue of the banquet was relatively far away, in the south and north directions from Xie Yuxuan's family. Lin Zhou drove for a full hour and a half to get to the place.
There are many people attending the banquet tonight. There are rows of luxury cars parked in the parking lot. It can be seen from the gathering of luxury cars that the banquet hall at this moment must be filled with celebrities and rich people.
He Siyi secretly thought that if someone who hated the rich broke in with a bomb, the Paris business community might cause a stock market crash tomorrow, or even cause a financial crisis.
Of course, this is just an imagination. It is impossible for someone to break in with a bomb. Not to mention bombs, even controlled knives cannot pass through the security door.
While thinking wildly, He Siyi had followed Xie Yuxuan into the banquet hall. As she expected, it was full of people.
But so many people gathered in a banquet hall, but it didn't seem crowded at all. This shows how big this banquet hall is.
On the way, He Siyi learned that the reason why the owner invited Xie Yuxuan was because this Chinese-style manor was designed by him. After the completion of the manor, the owner was very satisfied and specially invited the chief designer for the first banquet held in the new home.
The hosts are Chinese, a couple in their fifties. The couple came over to greet Xie Yuxuan warmly: "Professor Xie, welcome."
"Congratulations to Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao on their new home."
Xie Yuxuan politely expressed his congratulations and motioned to Lin Zhou to hand over the gift he had prepared.
Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao happily accepted the gift, thanked them profusely, handed the gift to the housekeeper, and personally welcomed Xie Yuxuan and He Siyi into the banquet hall.
It was the first time for He Siyi to participate in this kind of banquet, so she was definitely not used to it, but before she came, she was mentally prepared to be bored and had made plans. After accompanying Xie Yuxuan to greet acquaintances, she found a corner to sit in.
Go eat. When the banquet is over, her mission for today will be completed.
It's just that He Siyi didn't expect to meet Ruan Mingshu here, let alone Cheng Haoran who brought her here. She thought that the banquet Cheng Haoran mentioned was the same as Xie Yuxuan's, but she really didn't expect that Cheng Haoran would let Ruan Mingshu be hers.
Female companion.
Ruan Mingshu obviously put a lot of effort into dressing up tonight. She was very delicate from head to toe. She was not as good-looking as He Siyi. She looked even more gorgeous when she stood next to He Siyi who was so clear and watery.
Ruan Mingshu hadn't gone to class in the past few days, and naturally she hadn't seen He Siyi. She was surprised to meet her here, but she understood everything after seeing Xie Yuxuan.
"Haoran, did you see that He Siyi came with her mentor? I told you that she had an affair with her mentor and you still didn't believe it. Now you have seen it with your own eyes."
Ruan Mingshu seized the opportunity to slander He Siyi in front of Cheng Haoran.
But how could she know that even if she kept her mouth shut, He Siyi would still be a white moonlight in Cheng Haoran's heart.
"Ruan Mingshu, are you a fish?
Only seven seconds of memory, right?
Have you forgotten the only request I have for you?"
Cheng Haoran glanced at her sideways.
Ruan Mingshu shut up immediately. Of course she had not forgotten that Cheng Haoran asked her to be mute tonight, not to speak less, but not to speak.
Cheng Haoran was very satisfied with her "well-behavedness", so he ignored her and walked towards He Siyi.
He Siyi watched Cheng Haoran walk in front of her with nowhere to hide. Cheng Haoran even asked her in front of Xie Yuxuan: "Ah Si, why don't you wear the dress I chose for you?
Who chose this for you? It’s so ugly.”
"I'm ugly, no matter what I wear, I look ugly.
Unlike Master Cheng’s female companion, she is good-looking and looks good in anything she wears.”
He Siyi blurted out a sentence, and then bit her tongue secretly after saying it, what she said was all nonsense.
Ruan Mingshu trotted to catch up and happened to hear this sentence. Just when she was about to say a few words, she received Cheng Haoran's warning eyes, so she could only hold her head high and look at He Siyi with a victor's attitude.
"Asi, are you jealous?
Are you jealous that I brought Ruan Mingshu to the banquet?
Don't be jealous. This is not my invitation. Did you reject me?
Then it would be disrespectful for me to come by myself, so I would have to settle for the next best thing.
Except for you, all other women are transparent in my eyes."
Cheng Haoran's confession came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Transparent person + mute person Ruan Mingshu: ...She was so wronged that she almost cried. How on earth is she inferior to a poor guy like He Siyi.
He Siyi, who was still feeling a little uncomfortable, began to sympathize with Ruan Mingshu.
This is the first time for Xie Yuxuan to meet Cheng Haoran. Recently, Cheng Haoran's crazy pursuit of He Siyi in school has been rumored. Of course he knew about it, and he did not expect to meet here in such a way.
Would He Siyi like such a frivolous man?
Xie Yuxuan thinks the answer is no.
"Ruan Mingshu, don't follow me. There are so many open spaces. Go find a place to eat."
When Cheng Haoran saw that He Siyi still ignored him, he immediately started to send Ruan Mingshu away.
Ruan Mingshu didn't dare not leave, so she glared at He Siyi angrily and left.
"A Si, look, I drove her away, don't you be angry?"
Cheng Haoran said in a flattering way.
He Siyi: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not angry."
"Then you are jealous."
Cheng Haoran looked like he had found the truth.
"I'm not jealous either. Which of your eyes has seen me being jealous?"
He Siyi said angrily.
"I didn't see it with my eyes, but I saw it in my heart. You and I have a clear understanding of each other. I know you are jealous in your heart."
Cheng Haoran said a bunch of fallacies, all in a playboy tone.
He Siyi: "Do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"
"You must be missing me."
Cheng Haoran said firmly.
"Yes, I'm thinking of you."
He Siyi confirmed his answer.
Xie Yuxuan's heart sank.
Cheng Haoran spoke happily, then heard He Siyi continue to say: "I was wondering if you could stay away from me."
Cheng Haoran: ...Xie Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, then an irrepressible smile appeared on his lips.
"Professor Xie, I'm a little tired. I'm going to sit over there and rest for a while."
He Siyi was too lazy to argue with Cheng Haoran anymore, pointed to the rest area and said.
Xie Yuxuan said: "I will accompany you."
He Siyi did not refuse.
Cheng Haoran also wants to follow.
"Sir, are we familiar with you?"
Xie Yuxuan stopped Cheng Haoran.
Cheng Haoran snorted arrogantly: "I'm not familiar with you, but I'm familiar with Asi. Get out of my way. Who are you? Why should you stop me?"
"I am her mentor and her male companion tonight. Regardless of my identity, I have the right to stop others from harassing her. Please respect yourself."
Xie Yuxuan's tone was slightly serious.
"Well, except for her boyfriend, no one else has the right to stop another man from pursuing her.
Aren’t teachers the ones who preach and receive karma to resolve doubts?
Are you a teacher from the Pacific Ocean? You are so lenient."
Cheng Haoran was unhappy with Xie Yuxuan, just as Xie Yuxuan was unhappy with him. A typical love rival would be extremely jealous when they meet.
After quarreling with Xie Yuxuan, Cheng Haoran directly passed him and chased He Siyi.
Xie Yuxuan was about to stop him again when he heard someone behind him whisper: "BOSS."
Xie Yuxuan paused, turned around, and looked at the young man behind him. This was his other assistant. Unlike Lin Zhou, who was an assistant at school, this one was a business assistant.
But his external identity is not Xie Yuxuan's assistant, but the boss of a financial company.
"Professor Xie, would you like to have a few words alone?
I have some questions about architecture that I would like to ask Professor Xie.”
The young man raised his voice, as if he wanted others to hear why he had a private chat with Xie Yuxuan.
Xie Yuxuan turned his head and glanced in He Siyi's direction, hesitated for a moment before nodding, and temporarily left the banquet hall with the young man.
