Chapter 336 Conspiracy 1 Bobo (5)
Mi Xuer froze, her face turning deathly pale. She and Judy both knew who "he" was referring to!
Looking towards the bustling crowd, I saw a tall, slender man standing there. His every move exuded an elegant and noble air, his brows were as gentle as jade, and his entire face was exquisitely beautiful.
Gentle and refined, warm and gentle – that's probably the best description. At around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, she seemed to be enveloped in a soft, warm glow.
Mi Xuer stood there frozen, her bright, watery eyes fixed on the man who moved gracefully and skillfully through the crowd.
It was him; she thought they would never see each other again in this lifetime…
She clenched her fists, her feet hesitant to take a step.
Judy seemed oblivious to her strange behavior and pulled her hand, leading her in that direction. No matter how much Mi Xuer struggled to break free, Judy wouldn't let go.
"Julie, I..." Mi Xuer hurriedly began, flustered, as she was about to reach the man. However, before she could finish speaking, she heard Julie shout from behind him, "Gu Yunxi!"
The man's long, slender fingers were smooth and warm, the tips of his fingers neatly trimmed, just like the gentle and refreshing aura he exuded. He saw Juliet and smiled slightly at her, "Juliet, hello..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped when his gaze fell upon Mi Xuer beside Judy. His previously gentle and refined demeanor suddenly vanished, and his eyes turned cold.
The atmosphere suddenly froze!
It seemed as if everyone was looking in their direction, holding their breath and watching the situation unfold. Although Yan Zuozuo didn't know what was happening, she could sense that the atmosphere was very strange.
After a long while, a faint smile appeared on Gu Yunxi's lips again as she said to Zhu Xi, "The little princess is getting more and more beautiful, and so is Mi Xu'er."
Judy laughed heartily: "So, who's prettier, me or Mi Xu'er? Tell the truth!"
Gu Yunxi smiled and reached out to pinch Juliet's heavily made-up little face. "Of course, the little princess is the prettiest."
Mi Xuer felt a sudden jolt, and pain spread throughout her body!
In my memory, Gu Yunxi had also said those words, amidst the innocent and carefree blossoms, "Of course, our Xu'er is the most beautiful." At that time, his eyes held only doting affection when he looked at her. But now…
Mi Xuer clenched her fist and reached out to him with difficulty, "Long time no see, how are you?"
Gu Yunxi didn't reach out, but Judy put her arms around Mi Xuer's shoulders and draped her body over her shoulders lazily, saying with a smile, "How could this guy not be good? He's about to marry the granddaughter of the CEO of Huari Financial Holdings, and he's very happy."
Mi Xuer felt a pang of pain in her heart, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
He's getting married... What happened to all those vows of eternal love?
"I swear, I, Gu Yunxi, will never marry anyone but Mi Xuer in this lifetime!"
That year, he was twenty-one, and she was the same age as him, the same romantic age.
"Congratulations." Mi Xuer felt like she could hardly breathe, her mind went blank, and she swayed, feeling an indescribable heartache.
"Thank you," Gu Yunxi said indifferently.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Mi Xuer, then at Gu Yunxi, and roughly understood what was going on. However, Mi Xuer was already married, and Gu Yunxi was also about to get married and have children. It seemed that they were two people destined to be apart, and she couldn't help but sigh.
After the awkward meeting, the atmosphere was quickly warmed up by Judy. It has to be said that Judy is a natural-born star; she is exceptionally active and enthusiastic wherever she goes, and is always the center of attention.
Amidst the lively chatter, Judy suddenly stepped onto the stage and shouted, "On the occasion of today's welcome banquet, I have some good news to share with everyone. I've decided to respond to Ms. Yan Zuozuo's call to donate to impoverished mountain areas. Let me make a statement first: I'm donating this check for thirty million. Anyone else who wants to donate, hurry up! This is a great act of charity, so don't let me down! Hurry up!" As she spoke, she had people tally the amount, becoming the perfect representative of philanthropy.
Yan Zuozuo had originally planned to take the check and leave, but judging from the current situation, she would probably have to stay a little longer. Their company held this charity donation event partly to help impoverished mountain areas, and partly to advertise their company. With Judy's actions, the nature of the event changed somewhat.
In just over half an hour, Yan Zuozuo had amassed a considerable sum of money. She carefully noted it down so she could report it to the company later. As for what the company planned to do next, that would depend on Fisher's decision.
While Yan Zuozuo and Mi Xuer were busy, Zhu Xi stood to the side with Gu Yunxi, holding a glass of red wine. She took a small sip and asked casually, "How do you feel now that you've seen your first love?"
Gu Yunxi glanced at her: "What's past is past."
Judy raised an eyebrow, her gaze meeting his somber eyes. A slow smile curved her lips. "You're just putting on an act in front of me. Others may not know, but I certainly do. Even if you're going to marry the heiress of Huari Financial Holdings, I'm afraid you still won't forget Mi Xuer."
Gu Yunxi's face flushed slightly, realizing his secret had been exposed. He was indeed going to marry the daughter of Huari Financial Holdings, and rumors were circulating that he was trying to climb the social ladder and avoid working for another thirty years.
Of course, he doesn't deny that. But opportunities are for those who are prepared. He has talent, but he lacks a platform. If he can leverage the platform of Huari Financial Holdings to create value using his talent, he doesn't see anything wrong with that.
Those people outside are just jealous and envious.
He took a sip of red wine and asked in a low voice, "You don't hate her anymore?" Back then, everyone in their circle knew that Mi Xuer had betrayed Zhu Xi, and Zhu Xi was furious. But now she actually wants to bring them together. It's strange.
Judy smiled faintly, swirled the glass in her hand, and gently clinked it against his. "Like you said, the past is the past. Besides, you're definitely going to marry the heiress of Huari Financial Holdings. Maybe I was just trying to get revenge by setting you two up."
Gu Yunxi stiffened, withdrew her gaze from Zhu Xi, and glanced in the direction of Mi Xuer. She saw Mi Xuer busy with Yan Zuozuo, her otherworldly appearance just as she remembered.
Men are ambitious and aspire to have both a stable home life and extramarital affairs...
So, is there still a possibility for him and her?
Just then, Gu Yunxi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, nodded to Zhu Xi, and walked towards a secluded spot. He didn't know what the other person said, but then he suddenly looked at Yan Zuozuo, his deep eyes swirling with a turbulent undercurrent.
After the matter was settled, Yan Zuozuo and Mi Xuer were about to leave, but before they reached the door, a waiter's voice suddenly came from behind them, "Miss Mi, please wait. A gentleman asked me to give this to you."
Mi Xuer was taken aback. She took the note from the waiter, glanced at it quickly, and her expression turned strange.
"What's up?" Yan Zuozuo asked.
Mi Xuer snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head. "It's okay, let's go."
As Yan Zuozuo watched Mi Xuer leave quickly, she felt there were many mysteries surrounding this woman. However, this was an employee's privacy, and she didn't have a penchant for spying.
Yan Zuozuo called a taxi for Mi Xuer to go home first, while she stood by the roadside for a while. She had considered calling a driver to pick her up, but the air was nice at night, so she decided to walk around first.
"Zuo Zuo!" Just as she crossed the road to clear her head, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.
"Stephen, what are you doing here?" Yan Zuozuo felt that this guy must have installed a surveillance device on her, otherwise, how could she run into him everywhere she went?
Stephen chuckled, "I came here following your scent, Zuo Zuo! You're so unfair! I heard there's a big party here tonight, and you didn't even invite me, you came alone! That's so mean!" He said through gritted teeth, his eyes gleaming as he peered inside. "Is it fun? How about we go in and play for a while longer?"
He looked eager to try it out, which made Yan Zuozuo's face darken. "If you like, go in and take a look. You know the people inside. Fisher's sister, Julie."
"Jusie?!" Stephen nearly dropped his jaw, immediately turning away in disgust. That delinquent girl was best kept at a distance. However, he looked at Yan Zuozuo with a puzzled expression, "When did you two become so close that she invited you to a banquet?" He remembered clearly that they had a falling out over Chi Moqing last time.
Yan Zuozuo shrugged, there was nothing to hide, so she told Stephen what had happened that day. Stephen immediately started yelling, "You're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're up to no good! I told you, a man shouldn't be too outstanding, otherwise he'll cause too much trouble when he goes out. Look, look, this little delinquent, Judy, is definitely someone President Chi brought you, a male beauty who brings trouble!"
Yan Zuozuo was speechless. This guy really knew when to retaliate against Chi Moqing. She laughed and said, "Well, that's like finding a living god of wealth. I've raised quite a bit of money."
"Tch! Who knows if it's a trap? Anyway, be careful while President Chi isn't around. Of course, I don't mind being your protector for now, as long as you promise that your President Chi, that big jealous pot, won't kill me."
Is Chi Moqing a jealous person?
Yan Zuozuo looked at Stephen with amusement, but the code name was actually quite agreeable. Men get jealous more when they care, right? If she found someone easygoing and thick-skinned, wouldn't she be driven crazy?
Yan Zuozuo smiled radiantly: "Don't worry, at most I'll have him beat you half to death, but at the very least I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Stephen glared at her, looking aggrieved: "You must have been spending too much time with President Chi; it's corrupted you."
Yan Zuozuo laughed heartily, just about to say something, when she saw Gu Yunxi coming out of the hotel not far away. She looked up and thought the man was really charming. She smiled and was about to tease Stephen when suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, and she froze on the spot.
