After rebirth, she doesn't lick, and the boss Kuku slaps her in the face
Chapter 44 Reception
"Xiao Xi, how long will it take?"
Jiang Mulin knocked on his sister's door, urging her.
"almost done."
Jiang Ximeng zipped up the side of her skirt and pulled it up hard.
She was not used to wearing this kind of strapless evening dress, but she had no other choice. The incident happened suddenly and she had no time to go to the old house to choose.
There happened to be one in the cloakroom, so I just wore it.
This piece was brought back by my mother from abroad. She said it was hand-sewn by a famous designer from country F.
Jiang Ximeng didn't understand this. Before she was eighteen, her family thought she was too young and never allowed her to attend parties.
Later, when she went to college, she had no time to go because, except for class time, she was immersed in Hengyu.
Her recurring life made her a useless person who knew nothing except Tan Yan.
"Actually... you don't have to participate."
Jiang Mulin stood outside the door, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly.
"Stop it, I already said I'm going!"
So, don’t even think about attending the event with Guan Wei!
Jiang Ximeng gets angry when this matter is mentioned.
An hour ago, Jiang Mulin picked her up from get off work and took her home. On the way, he received a call from Guan Wei.
……
The phone receiver was so loud that Jiang Ximeng could hear what was being said on the other side even though she was sitting in the passenger seat.
It probably means agreeing to attend a party with my brother.
Jiang Ximeng couldn't bear to hear this, so she quickly grabbed Jiang Mulin's arm and forced him to refuse.
"Okay, the dinner starts at seven. I'll pick you up later."
Jiang Mulin had to invite Guan Wei several times before he was able to come and meet Guan Wei, so how could he not agree?
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and stared at Jiang Ximeng with a reprimanding look, saying in a serious tone, "Xiao Xi, you care too much!"
It seemed that his sister disliked Wei and was always trying to find ways to keep him away.
"Brother?" Jiang Ximeng opened her eyes wide, very surprised.
She couldn't accept that her brother was so mean to her for a woman who had messed up his life.
Even in my previous life, I never said anything harsh to her because of Guan Wei.
And now, even though there is nothing to do with her, he is angry with her.
The most important thing is that in his previous life, it seemed that after a banquet, he found himself falling uncontrollably in love with Guan Wei.
From then on, he was followed in every possible way, and this was also the beginning of his miserable life.
When she thought of what her brother had gone through, Jiang Ximeng's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She had tried very hard to stop the relationship between her brother and Guan Wei, but it was of no use.
Does this mean that her rebirth is meaningless and can't change anything...
Seeing that his sister was about to cry and her face showed a sadness that puzzled him, Jiang Mulin was helpless.
She has been a stubborn girl since she was young and seldom cries, but today she was particularly abnormal.
Nothing more...
Jiang Mulin slapped the steering wheel angrily and took out his phone, "I'll tell her right now!"
The call was quickly answered, and Jiang Mulin made an excuse that he couldn't go with her and hung up again.
"Okay?"
My brother's tone was not as cold and hard as before, but rather gentle.
Since he had given in, Jiang Ximeng naturally went down the stairs, "Brother, I'll go with you."
The memories gradually fade away.
Jiang Ximeng opened the door and said, "We can set off now."
Jiang Mulin took a closer look, then gave her a thumbs up, praising her generously, "My sister is so beautiful!"
The latter raised his slender neck and said proudly, "Of course!"
Before going out, she put on an ankle-length down jacket so that she would not be cold during the few seconds she was outside.
Banquet Hall of Yan'an Hotel.
There is a cocktail party going on here.
Those who attended were either political dignitaries or business geniuses.
There are also some artists who go to great lengths to get tickets and come uninvited, just to make friends with "backers" here.
As the heir of the Tan family, the leading enterprise in S City, and the president of Hengyu is Tan Yan.
He was the person that everyone at the banquet wanted to make friends with, and many people from the business and political circles went to talk to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Tan, for taking the time to attend this party despite your busy schedule."
The host of the banquet is not from this city. He came from another province in order to open up the beverage market here.
I heard that the beverages in S City are not monopolized by anyone, so I came here to try it.
As a businessman, he naturally understood that if he wanted to gain a foothold here, he had to find the right way.
He gritted his teeth, ruthlessly gave up 50% of the profits in the city and the market, and asked the Tan family to be his backer.
This gave him the right to hold banquets at the Tan Family Hotel, and also helped him to successfully open up the market here and introduce it to everyone.
Among the crowd, Tan Yan stood in the center of the hall in a black suit. It was well-cut, finely crafted, and of high quality. It looked very ordinary, but in fact it exuded nobility everywhere.
He held the goblet and took a sip.
After a long while, he replied expressionlessly, "It's okay."
The company has not been busy recently, so I agreed to attend the banquet on behalf of my grandfather.
He didn't like this kind of occasion, as he heard nothing but flattery, which made him feel irritated.
"Master Jiang and Miss Jiang are here."
Someone in the crowd said something, and soon someone trotted over to greet them.
The Jiang family has long been known as the 'second in S City' and is one of the people that many people want to curry favor with.
Some people saw that they could not squeeze into the crowd and could not get close to Mr. Tan, so they had to settle for the second best and choose the Jiang brothers and sisters.
Tan Yan also cast his gaze over there, staring at the girl who had attracted all eyes since she came in.
The aqua blue tube-top dress wrapped around her exquisite body, with layers of skirt trailing on the ground. Her long black hair was draped behind her shoulders, covering her white and delicate back, making her like a mermaid.
As people came forward, she greeted everyone with a smile.
Her beautiful eyes are curved, her red lips are slightly parted, her white teeth are slightly exposed, and every move she makes fully demonstrates the word "charming".
With a sweet smile, she looked over here, and the next second, she quickly turned her head away, as if to escape.
Tan Yan sneered in his heart.
Does she also feel guilty?
This afternoon, he asked Jiang Ximeng to make a cup of tea.
I haven't been working overtime recently, so I don't need to drink tea to refresh myself.
There must be other purposes for calling her here.
...but it's a little hard to say.
In order to better cover it up, he even pretended to make a phone call when she came in.
Then he asked casually, "There is a party tonight, do you want to join us?"
Her answer was firm, 'I won't attend the reception.'
Very good, completely rejected!
Tan Yan felt very disappointed and helpless.
Had he been like this before, rejecting her in everything?
Now, it was his turn to be rejected...
Before he knew it, Tan Yan had already walked up to the two siblings.
"coming."
Jiang Mulin clinked glasses with his friend, "Yeah, just arrived."
Tan Yan took a sip of wine and then said nothing more.
The dark eyes involuntarily looked towards the aqua blue figure.
Jiang Ximeng took a step forward and quietly hid behind Jiang Mulin.
I knew that the word 'coming' was a warning to her!
She didn't expect that her brother could make an appointment with Guan Wei, so she used an inappropriate excuse. If she had known earlier, she would have just said that she had agreed to accompany her brother.
But the reality is, there is not so much "knowing in advance"!
"Xiao Xi, say hello." Realizing that his sister had been silent, Jiang Mulin patted her arm.
Jiang Ximeng poked her head out and smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Tan..."
