When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

Su Xiaowan was slightly stunned, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my makeup?"

"No, it looks very nice and suits you very well." Song Nancheng was the first to come back to his senses.

He touched his nose awkwardly to cover up his mistake.

It was Xiao Beiguo who did not come back to his senses from the astonishment until he spoke.

He praised sincerely, "Xiao Wan, you are so beautiful tonight."

Although this makeup looks not much different from without makeup, for some reason it looks more different and makes people amazed at first sight.

"Sister Xiaowan is already pretty, and this outfit really shows off her beauty. She is definitely the prettiest at tonight's banquet."

"Brother Nancheng, you are exaggerating. There are so many good-looking people here."

Su Xiaowan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

“Then ask Brother Beiguo if I am exaggerating. Even if you go to a big city, your looks are unmatched by others.”

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. You're making me feel proud."

"Hahaha, it's Brother Beiguo who should be proud of himself for marrying such a pretty and capable wife."

"Xiao Wan is really good, so I cherish her very much." Xiao Beiguo did not deny it.

"Hahaha, come, sit down for a while. The banquet will start at six o'clock. In about half an hour, some people will come over. I will introduce them to you then."

Su Xiaowan sat down next to Xiao Beiguo, took the tea he handed over and took a sip.

"Are all local businessmen invited to this banquet tonight?"

"There are also some people who came back from other places to develop here. This banquet was held in my name, so they chose my place."

Song Nancheng did not hide it and explained why it was in this place.

"We all can. It's a rare opportunity for me and Northland to have the chance to meet these people."

Xiao Beiguo nodded in approval, "Since the other party wants to hold this banquet in your name, there are some things we just need to know."

"Indeed, it's good for us to know the facts. This is how business works. You have to get to know all kinds of people."

The three of them chatted, and Song Nancheng had someone bring some desserts over. "Sister Xiaowan, eat this first. I'm afraid you'll have to attend social events later."

Su Xiaowan looked at the exquisite and small dessert cake and couldn't help but think of her previous life. Every time Xiao Beiguo came back from a social event, he would bring some for her.

And every time she would get upset because he came home late, and they would have hysterical quarrels if they disagreed.

Even so, he still patiently told her to eat something before going to bed.

Seeing that she was staring at him but didn't move, Xiao Beiguo asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you want to eat something else or not?"

"No, I just saw such an exquisite dessert and wondered if Xixi would want to eat it."

Su Xiaowan smiled and scooped a spoonful into her mouth. It tasted excellent and one could tell at a glance that the cooking technique was extraordinary.

"I'll have someone pack some for you to take back to Xixi. We've eaten a lot of these desserts tonight."

Song Nancheng said this and waved to the servant beside him to come over and give him an order.

"I'm just saying this casually. This thing can't be kept for long, and Xixi can't eat too much."

"It's okay. I'll have someone bring some of each. Xixi is so young, she will definitely like these foods."

Su Xiaowan did not insist. While eating, she listened to Xiao Beiguo and Song Nancheng talking about the future developments and their respective ideas and plans.

Although it was not the first time that Su Xiaowan heard Xiao Beiguo talk about these things, every time she heard him talk, she felt that he really had a good business sense and could see things much further than most people.

Soon the time came, Song Nancheng stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "The guests are here, let's go to the banquet hall."

Su Xiaowan stood up. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had worn high heels, and she still felt a little unsteady when she stood up.

Xiao Beiguo held her hand and calmly put her arm through his arms.

"Slow down, don't rush."

Su Xiaowan smiled. This scene reminded her of her previous life, when he first took her to a dinner party. She was like that at that time.

The two of them slowly followed Song Nancheng to the banquet hall, which was actually only separated from this side by a door.

Su Xiaowan looked at the house and estimated that it was at least 500 square meters. The banquet hall alone was nearly 200 square meters.

After the three of them went over, many people had already arrived at the banquet hall. Song Nancheng brought two glasses of wine and handed one to Xiao Beiguo.

"I'll take you over there to meet those people."

Xiao Beiguo took it and went over with him.

"Boss Song, congratulations. Your new restaurant has just opened and this place has started to develop. Your future prospects cannot be underestimated."

One of the middle-aged men laughed heartily, his eyes passing over Xiao Beiguo and Su Xiaowan.

"Thanks to Director Yang's care, I have this opportunity."

Song Nancheng said politely, introducing, "This is my partner, Xiao Beiguo, whom I mentioned to you before, and this is his wife Su Xiaowan."

"Mr. Yang." Xiao Beiguo shook hands with the other party politely and appropriately.

"Boss Xiao, you are a young man to be reckoned with. The proposal your restaurant made last time was very good and worth learning from," Director Yang praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Yang."

"This is my business card. If you have any good business in the future, remember to come to me. Boss Song and I are old acquaintances." Director Yang handed over his business card wisely.

Several other people also handed over their business cards.

Xiao Beiguo took them one by one, neither humble nor arrogant.

After the introduction, Song Nancheng and Xiao Beiguo were pestered by several people and asked about the matters of cooperation.

Su Xiaowan's feet felt uncomfortable after standing for a long time in her high heels, so she said to Xiao Beiguo, "I'll go sit over there for a while."

"Okay, take a break. I'll come to see you when I'm done." Xiao Beiguo patted the back of her hand lightly.

Su Xiaowan nodded, walked slowly to a deserted corner and sat down, looking at the various people in the banquet hall, and time seemed to have gone back to her previous life.

Not far away, Li Qian looked at her, her hand holding the red wine tightened and tightened. As soon as she came in, she saw Su Xiaowan.

If it weren't for her stunning makeup, she wouldn't have realized it was her.

Even though she and Xiao Beiguo rarely spoke, the attention and admiration they received from her made her jealous.

Obviously, she is the woman standing next to Xiao Beiguo!

Why should Su Xiaowan stand in the position that should belong to her!

Li Qian looked for a long time, and happened to have a very handsome man come up to chat with her.

"Hello, you must be Boss Li Qian."

Li Qian glanced at the man and smiled faintly, "I am, I don't know what your name is."

"I am Jiang Beiting, the son of Mayor Jiang."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." Li Qian extended her hand and shook hands with him.

Jiang Beiting deliberately scratched the palm of her hand, which was very suggestive.

Li Qian's eyes flashed with shrewdness. She withdrew her hand and said casually, "Why didn't Mr. Jiang bring a female companion? Everyone brought a female companion tonight."

"I haven't found a suitable one. I wonder if Boss Li is interested in being my female companion?" Jiang Beiting smiled and moved closer.

Li Qian didn't want to refuse directly, so she pointed at Su Xiaowan who was eating sweets and seemed to be thinking about something not far away.

"Mr. Jiang, that lady is also alone. I think she must be more suitable for you."
