After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Xuanbao looked up with a proper smile on her face. She gently took He Zhizhou's hand and went up the stairs. She said to Li Jiawei enthusiastically, "Jiawei, Xiao Yi, you are here too! I haven't congratulated you yet. You have a baby boy!"

Li Jiawei raised her lips and nodded to Li Xuanbao, "Thank you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Jiawei keenly noticed that many people were looking at her.

The relationship between her and Li Xuanbao is such that when the two of them stand together, they are destined to become the focus of attention.

Moreover, this staircase is not a good place to talk. She doesn't want to become the topic of conversation for others after dinner, and she doesn't want to be on the hot search for no reason.

So, she looked at Li Xuanbao and suggested, "Shall we go in together?"

Li Xuanbao generously made a gesture of invitation and responded with a smile: "Together!"

Jing Qiu saw the four people walking in together. Instantly, an unprecedented satisfied smile appeared on her face.

In her eyes, it couldn't be better that these four children could get along so harmoniously.

Li Yan is still abroad discussing cooperation and has not returned yet. Zhong Xinlan also went abroad, but not to the same country as Li Yan.

Zhong Xinlan has always been looking forward to holding a personal jewelry exhibition, and she knew that there was a senior jewelry collector in Paris who had the gemstones she had always dreamed of.

Previously, all the professional managers she sent to negotiate with collectors returned empty-handed.

The collector was a rather stubborn person, and his trading conditions for gemstones were extremely demanding, and ordinary people simply could not satisfy him.

Zhong Xinlan had no choice but to go out in person. If she still couldn't get the gem this time, she would have to settle for the next best thing and choose another jewel, which was also good, but not the one she liked best.

Therefore, at this dinner party, Li Jiawei, Xiao Yi, Li Xuanbao and He Zhizhou became "half hosts".

In the banquet hall, Jing Qiu stood in the center. The four of them stood on both sides of Jing Qiu in pairs, warmly welcoming every guest who came to chat.

To be honest, despite having several years of experience in the business world, Li Jiawei is still not good at socializing.

It was a little difficult for her to deal with the crowd every time and talk to people with a decent smile on her face. Fortunately, Xiao Yi was always by her side, which relieved a lot of pressure for her, so that she would not be speechless when facing guests and make the atmosphere awkward.

Li Xuanbao, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease in such situations. No matter who she was communicating with, she could quickly find common topics and have a good chat.

She was like a star in the banquet hall, radiant and witty, creating a lively atmosphere.

In contrast, He Zhizhou, who is a lawyer and should be good at speaking, becomes a supporting role when standing beside her.

However, He Zhizhou didn't care much about this. After all, he didn't know much about art and had no common topics with these art lovers.

After seeing off a customer with whom she had been talking for more than five minutes, Li Jiawei let out a long sigh of relief. Her body instantly relaxed and she subconsciously put her arm around Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked down and saw her feet wearing high heels. Her feet were slightly red, and he felt heartache instantly.

He calmly reached out his hand and gently put his arm around her waist, letting her lean half of her body weight on him to share her fatigue, and said softly, "Let's go to the lounge and rest for a while."

Li Jiawei nodded. Her feet were hurting and her legs were sore. She really couldn't stand anymore.

Xiao Yi helped Li Jiawei into the lounge, which was a room specially prepared for Jing Qiu to change clothes and put on makeup.

Xiao Yi carefully helped Li Jiawei sit down on the sofa.

Then he knelt on one knee and gently helped her take off her exquisite but wearing high heels.

When the hem of the skirt was lifted slightly, he saw Li Jiawei's calves hidden under the skirt, which were slightly swollen. He was so distressed that his brows were instantly twisted into a knot.

His big hands gently covered her calves, massaging them patiently and carefully, again and again, his tone full of blame and heartache: "Why didn't you tell me that you felt so uncomfortable just now? You just gave birth to a child, and your body is still weak. Even if you don't go to greet guests with your mother, she will definitely understand you. Why do you have to make yourself so tired and ruin your body?"

As he spoke, his hands did not stop moving, and his eyes were always focused on her calves.

Li Jiawei met Xiao Yi's concerned and reproachful gaze, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but then her mouth curved, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, staring at Xiao Yi and said: "My husband is so handsome when he is serious!"

Xiao Yi looked up at her, and at first the corners of his mouth rose at the sudden praise, but he quickly put away his smile, pretended to be serious, and said with a stern face: "Don't think of getting away with it by acting like a spoiled child!

You have to learn to be more compassionate to yourself, look at how swollen your calves are." As he spoke, he continued to massage her swollen calves with gentle and focused movements.

Li Jiawei shook her head, her hair swaying gently: "Once you press on me, it doesn't hurt at all. Besides, Xuanbao is here today, and I don't want to be outdone by her!"

Xiao Yi paused and looked up at her, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement: "You never like to compare with her, why are you competing with her now?"

Li Jiawei sighed softly, her expression full of helplessness, and slowly said: "It's really not that I want to compete with her, it's that she wants to compete with me in everything, I can't just be a coward.

Don't you realize that no matter what business I get involved in, she will follow in soon.

Also, think carefully, the dresses we are wearing today, aren’t the styles and designs very similar? "

Xiao Yi really didn't notice what kind of dress Li Xuanbao was wearing today. However, he knew that Li Xuanbao invested in the same project as Li Jiawei, so he asked, "So, what are you going to do?"

Li Jiawei tilted her head and stared at Xiao Yi with sparkling eyes: "She is determined to prove that she is better than me and then suppress me, so I must fight her.

Besides, Uncle Liang once told me that I lacked the fighting spirit.

Now that she has come up to me, that's great. I will use her as a training ground to cultivate my fighting aura!"

Xiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Li Jiawei say this. He raised his hand and scratched her nose lovingly, saying softly, "Okay, I won't stop you from fighting, but now, you have to sit here obediently. I'll go to the car and get you a pair of more comfortable shoes."

As he spoke, he picked up Li Jiawei's pair of 12-centimeter high heels, shook them in front of her eyes, and added helplessly and distressedly: "These heels are too high, too tiring to wear.

Besides, the second half is the auction of paintings, so there is no need to chat with others in the whole venue, so there is no need to wear such high shoes to torment my feet. "
