Chapter 60
July 7, Saturday, Lion City, sunny to showers.
While helping me loosen the soil and fertilize the transplanted poppies, Yan Shouzhen asked for my opinion, saying that he was invited to a charity fundraising party tonight and asked if I would like to attend together.
I was stunned, and for a moment I didn't understand how a developed and wealthy country like the Lion City still needs charitable donations?Then I thought about it again, maybe the target of the donation is another region or country in need, and I was relieved.
"If you don't want to attend, then we won't go, it's boring anyway..." Seeing that I didn't respond, Yan Shouzhen thought I didn't like this kind of occasion, so he helped me make a decision.
"I want to go!" I raised my eyes and smiled, and asked curiously, "What's a charity party like? A show on stage, and a fundraiser off stage?" Saw it on CCTV.
Yan Shouzhen looked at me blankly for a few seconds, probably unable to figure out why I agreed to attend.
In fact, I have long been mentally prepared.
With Yan Shouzhen's family status, he must attend various balls, banquets and receptions that are indispensable in high society. Since I am his legal partner, I naturally have to accompany him to these occasions.
Although same-sex marriage in the Lion City has not yet been approved, the people of this country have a high degree of tolerance and do not discriminate against homosexuals.
Because it was the first time I participated in this kind of banquet, my attire was completely guarded by word of mouth. I was wearing a low-luxury silver-gray suit without a collar pin. I only wore Van Cleef & Arpels gold dust cufflinks. It is a sign of identity.
Yan Shouzhen was wearing a royal blue suit without a collar pin. He was wearing the same style of Van Cleef & Arpels sapphire cufflinks.
When Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouzhen clasped their fingers together and attended the banquet gate, the nobles who gathered in small groups stopped their elegant conversation, and their eyes fell on me and Yan Shouzhen.
I was still a little nervous, it’s not that I haven’t seen anything in the world. When I was in the City of Music, I followed my uncle to a few rich people’s banquets. The topic of music unfolded, the place is a high-end place, the wine is also expensive and good wine, and the music is top-notch music. It is an authentic music salon, the luxury time that nobles enjoy most.
During the two years when I was entangled by Yiqiu, she would invite me to be her male partner in many parties she had to attend. Sometimes I couldn’t refuse, so I had to be her male partner to attend her friend’s birthday party. That’s true. You will never know how rich people spend millions on parties without seeing them with your own eyes.
The host of the banquet is Mr. Hui. He has three identities. He is the major shareholder of the Hui family in Lion City, the chairman of the Lion City Charity Association, and the father of Hui Yixin.
Mr. Hui is a very kind old man. When he came to greet us, he had a sincere smile on his face. He didn't hold us against Yan Shouzhen for rejecting Hui Yixin's marriage.
After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Hui, several partners who had business dealings with the Yan family also came to talk.
I greeted them politely, and listened to their enthusiastic conversation and flattery with Yan Shouzhen.
Farther away, there were several young girls who were whispering, and they looked at me curiously and enviously.
Curious how I hooked up to keep my word.
I envy that I can hook up to keep my word.
Most of them have already heard about Yan Shouzhen's commotion. First, they dragged me to visit Yan's relatives and friends with great fanfare, and then held two grand weddings in Huaguo. Many media in Lion City rushed to report This matter, as well as the photos of the wedding scene leaked out, probably due to fear of Yan’s influence, the photos are not very clear, and my photo was also mosaiced. Even so, this matter once became a hot topic among people in Lion City. It's just that most people think it's just rumors.
It can be said that not only did the Yan family not block the news about the wedding like they blocked Yan's father's big move in the car accident, but he also didn't come out to clarify the rumors when all kinds of speculation were raging. Under the bright lights, it is the best proof.
I understand their envy and jealousy. My man is considerate and gentle, good-looking, good-natured, and capable. Few girls can resist his mature charm.
We came early, and then came Deputy Mayor Cao Weiqing. He brought his granddaughter to attend, and became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.
Yan Shouli made his grand appearance when the banquet was about to begin.
Yan Shouli's female companion was his fiancée, a very beautiful girl, covered in jewels, which instantly took away the brilliance of all the women present.
Her name is Yanyi, she is Malay, her father is a Malay down payment, and she is in the same family as Yan.
Although Yanyi is Yan Shouli's fiancée, but because he is married to him in a business relationship, the two seem to be inseparable. When I first visited Yan's father and mother, she did not appear with Yan Shouli. Yan Shouzhen and I were in China. She did not accompany Yan Shouli to attend the two weddings held in China.
When she held Yan Shouli's arm and greeted me, I could hear her contemptuous tone. In her eyes, I probably got Yan Shouzhen because of my appearance, and I was able to marry into the first place in the Lion City. From a wealthy family.
Yan Shouzhen also noticed it, and he glanced coldly at Yan Shouli, who was standing aside with folded arms and arms folded, and said to the actor: "Shouli said, you are going to donate your most precious jewels tonight. , Are you wearing these jewels? Hui Shibo will be very happy!" Without waiting for Yanyi to express his opinion, he said to Hui Yixin, who came slowly, "It's rare that Yanyi has such a big love. , the first dance tonight must be her!"
Hui Yixin was still wearing a long red dress, which made her complexion crystal clear and white, very beautiful. She is a kind-hearted person, and it is for this reason that Yan Shounuo, who has a bad temper, likes her so much.
Hui Yixin listened to Yan Shouzhen's words, a pair of beautiful eyes really showed excitement, while holding Yanyi's hand, while praising her for her beauty and kindness, she pulled her to the center of the stage without any explanation, and stood facing the center. Raised the microphone, opened the prelude to the charity gala.
"Brother, are you asking for trouble for me?!" Yan Shouli's expression changed, and he finally couldn't stay out of the matter. He gave me a glare, apparently blaming all of Yan Shouzhen's actions on my fault. on the head.
I:……
"I'm giving you two a reputation of being charitable. Why don't you know good people?" Yan Shouli sneered, "Take care of your woman and let her remember who is in charge of the Yan family now!"
"Tch!" Yan Shouli snorted disdainfully, and suddenly stared at me with wide eyes, and then at Yan Shouzhen, moving his lips slowly, as if he couldn't digest the meaning of Yan Shouzhen's words, and said : "Don't tell me, it's him who is in charge of the Yan family now?!"
Yan Shouzhen shrugged happily.
The unbelievable Yan Shouli:! ! !
Me with a clouded face:? ? ?
Yan Shouli, who still wanted to protest, was immediately called up by Hui Yixin in the center of the stage, and he had to dance the first dance of the charity gala with the performer.
"Mr. Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" A middle-aged man seemed to wait until Yan Shouzhen was free, stepped forward to hold Yan Shouli's hand excitedly, and said with a smile, "I am a shareholder of Lingtuo Trading Company. My name is Gao Qing, and I've been negotiating several business deals with your company, but Director Hu hasn't contacted us for some reason recently..."
Yan Shouzhen immediately interrupted him, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I won't discuss business tonight, please do it." Then he bowed his head and asked me, "Want to dance?"
I hesitated for a moment, but I still entered the dance floor with Yan Shouzhen.
After same-sex weddings were passed on a large scale around the world, same-sex ballroom dancing also emerged in response to the situation.
Seeing that I was absent-minded, Yan Shouzhen leaned into my ear and asked, "Why? Don't you like dancing?"
I shook my head, pulled myself together, and said with a smile, "I seldom dance, I can't dance well, so don't laugh at me."
Yan Shouzhen was very happy, his forehead was pressed against mine, and he didn't care about other people's eyes at all.
My face turned red, and I inadvertently glanced at the man named Gao Qing. He stood there, anxious and angry, but helpless, he could only grit his teeth secretly and endure it.
I think that Yan Shouzhen might hate this man named Gao Qing, because just now he had a few business-related conversations with several people who shook hands with him.
The fundraising party started by Yan Yi quickly entered into a lively atmosphere. Yan Shouzhen donated 200 million together in his and my name, occupying the third place in the ranking of philanthropists.
The second place is Cao Weiqing's granddaughter. She donated the red envelopes she got from childhood and the scholarship she got when she was studying, which is more than 200 million!
When most of the banquet was over, I drank two more glasses and went to the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, he saw the man named Gao Qing entangled with Yan Shouli who wanted to relieve him.
"Mr. Gao, you know that my brother and I have separated. He takes care of his work and I take care of mine. It's useless for you to look for me!" Yan Shouli said helplessly.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Director Hu, but I can't get in touch with him!" Gao Qing said sadly.
"Hu Yang?" Yan Shouli said with a smile, "Don't look for it anymore, my brother has assigned him another task, don't say you can't find it, even I couldn't borrow it from my brother two years ago. arrive."
The name Hu Yang stayed in my chaotic mind for a long time. It was not until Yan Shouli finished his urgency and arrived at the sink that he saw me standing there in a daze.
He frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"
I know that my face must be very bad now.
"Is the Populus euphratica you mentioned just now, Director Hu, the one with a mole in the middle of his nose?" I heard my trembling voice asking.
"Yes, yes!" Gao Qing was the first to answer. He trotted forward with his eyes shining, and wanted to hold my hand, but I threw it away heavily.
He didn't care, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Yu, you belong to Mr. Yan Da..." He paused, skipped that word, and continued, "You can contact Director Hu, right?!"
Yan Shouli seemed to think of something suddenly, covered Gao Qing's mouth, dragged him away, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this guy drank too much, forget it after you hear it, I'll take him first Let's go..." hurriedly pulled Gao Qing away.
Gao Qing, whose mouth was covered, was at a loss, not knowing what happened.
I don't know what happened.
All I know is that Yan Shou Zhen lied to me again.
