A week later, Ye Ruge saw the news of Yao Man's comeback on TV news.
Moreover, Yao Man won an international big-name jewelry show as soon as she came back. She walked on the catwalk wearing tens of millions of jewelry, with confidence and pride in her eyes.
The camera swept across the auditorium below, and Ye Ruge saw Huo Yanxi. Although it was only a shot of a few seconds, she still recognized him.
At that moment she understood why Yao Man was so confident, like a proud princess. It turned out that her backer was Huo Yanxi.
Ye Ruge felt that her heart was numb. She immediately turned off the TV and lost all mood.
The mobile phone placed on the coffee table rang at this moment. She picked it up and saw that it was Ji Yuan.
After learning that he had returned to China, she did not see him again, and even forgot about meeting him for coffee, all because of a quarrel with Huo Yanxi.
She picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Ru Ge? Are you busy lately?" came Ji Yuan Qingyue's voice.
After Ye Ruge got married, she took on the title of vice president of the Huo Group. In fact, Huo Yanxi did not allow her to interfere with the group's affairs.
She wanted to find a job of her own, but Su Nanqiu asked her to stay at home to take care of herself and get pregnant as soon as possible, and prohibited her from working.
In short, she is now a wealthy lady who is busy at home. It would be perfect if she and Huo Yanxi fell in love with each other.
Unfortunately, there are not so many good things in the world.
She didn't want Ji Yuan to know about her embarrassing situation, so she replied vaguely: "Well... I'm a little busy. I'm really sorry. I said I wanted to get together with you last time, so I couldn't spare the time."
"I just returned to China and have a lot of things to do, so I am free now." He paused and continued: "I would like to invite you to a charity dinner tomorrow. I wonder if you have time?"
"charity dinner?"
"Yes, there will be an auction at that time, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the children in the mountain village. And I am also one of the organizers of this dinner. If you are free, just come over and support me." Ji Yuandao.
The last time Ye Ruge learned that he was going to take over Ji's company when he returned to China, his father was old and not in good health, so he had to put down his overseas career and come back.
He held a charity dinner this time, probably to improve the company's reputation.
"I'm free, but... I don't have any money to bid with others." Ye Ruge told him truthfully. Probably no one believed that Mrs. Huo from the most wealthy family would have no money.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to come, it doesn't matter if you take pictures or not. If you like something, it doesn't matter if I take it and give it to you." Ji Yuan was generous.
Ye Ruge only thought he was joking, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, don't default on your debt then."
After agreeing on a time and place with Ji Yuan, Ye Ruge ended the call.
After being bored at home for so long, it was time for her to go out and get some fresh air.
The next night, Ye Ruge put on an elegant purple dress, with delicate makeup on her face, her black hair rolled up, and a few small pearls dotted in her hair. After dressing up, she asked the driver to take her to Dongcheng.
Hilton Hotel on the lake.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw Ji Yuan waiting for her at the door of the hotel. He was wearing a tailored suit and a bow on his collar. He was a gentleman and handsome.
As soon as Ji Yuan saw her, he strode over to meet her, stretched out his hand to support her, looked her up and down and couldn't help but praise: "Ruge, you look beautiful tonight."
Ye Ruge raised her head and met his deep gaze. She subconsciously looked away and smiled: "Thank you, you are also very handsome."
"I'm glad you can come." He said it sincerely.
"You said this is a charity dinner. Since it's a good thing, of course I have to come."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries at the door, and then another car drove up from behind. Looking at the rows of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel, you knew that those attending the charity dinner tonight were all rich and noble.
"Let's go in." Ji Yuanji put his arm around her waist in a gentlemanly manner.
Ye Ruge nodded, and someone got out of the car that had just stopped behind him. Then he heard a familiar voice: "Yan Xi, look at the many cars at the door. It seems that there are a lot of people coming tonight."
Ye Ruge's footsteps froze, surprise flashed in his eyes, he subconsciously turned around and saw Huo Yanxi and Yao Man.
Yao Man was holding Huo Yanxi's arm intimately. When she saw Ye Ruge in front of her, the smile on her face froze slightly, but it quickly recovered and she greeted him in a friendly manner: "Ah, Ruge, you're here too."
?”
Ye Ruge glanced at Yao Man's seemingly innocent smiling face that was clearly hiding a demonstration, and then turned her attention to Huo Yanxi. Has he now made love to Yao Man in public?
Huo Yanxi obviously didn't expect Ye Ruge to come. The man standing next to her was the same one from last time!
The two people's eyes collided in the air, sparks exploded, the air became solid, and the people next to them felt a pressure.
Huo Yanxi stared at Ji Yuan's hand on Ye Ruge's thin waist, feeling it was very annoying, and sneered coldly: "When did Mrs. Huo also like to participate in such social activities?"
The four of them were standing at the door. They were all handsome men and beautiful women. They had attracted everyone's attention for a long time. Now everyone recognized their identities and stopped to talk for a while.
Ye Ruge rarely attended social events in the past. She didn't want to be criticized or laughed at, but now she still encounters such embarrassing situations.
"Mr. Huo, you are not the only one who can socialize." Ye Ruge straightened her back unconsciously. She knew that others were waiting to see her laugh, so she had to act calm and composed.
"Ruge is the distinguished guest I invited. Mr. Huo should invite him inside." Ji Yuan acted like a host.
Huo Yanxi glanced at Ji Yuan with cold eyes, and his innate aura carried an oppressive force. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Really? Then Mrs. Huo wants to take more pictures in a while. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me.
want."
His words were humiliating. Ye Ruge's face turned red and white. She secretly clenched her fists and tried to stay calm.
Ji Yuan felt that her body was tense. He looked at Huo Yanxi politely and said, "Mr. Huo, you don't have to worry about this. I have already agreed with Ru Ge that I will do whatever she likes tonight."
shoot."
Huo Yanxi's eyes suddenly condensed. Wasn't Ji Yuan's words like that a slap in his face?
Ye Ruge didn't want to stand here and be laughed at. If she hadn't agreed to flatter Ji Yuan, she would have turned around and left now.
She whispered to Ji Yuan: "Go in."
Ji Yuan nodded slightly: "Okay." Before going in with her, he turned back to Huo Yanxi and said one more sentence: "Mr. Huo, thank you for coming. I want to take pictures of a few more collections tonight. It's all good deeds."
"
Huo Yanxi frowned and his eyes were cold. Is the other party provoking?
He watched Ye Ruge walk in with the help of the man, and he almost couldn't help but go over and pull her back.
Yao Man, who had been silent until now, was able to speak now. She noticed Huo Yanxi's change in mood, but pretended not to know and said in a soft tone: "Yanxi, Ye Ruge and that man are quite close."
One sentence made his face darken. She knew that these words would add fuel to the fire, but she had to say them deliberately.
