Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school
Chapter 161 Meeting an acquaintance at the banquet
While he was fiddling with it, he happened to meet a couple asking about it. They knew what he was doing right away and were envious and gossipy. The boy even teased him, asking, "Are you ready to confess? Are you sure?"
Xia Zhuomian didn't even dare to raise his head when asked. Seeing that he was embarrassed, the girl bumped into her boyfriend and said with a smile, "Then we wish you a successful confession."
That’s not all. He also had to be on guard against someone taking his things or sweeping the floor and taking them away, and he was alone, which made him nervous and scared.
As they were chatting, they talked about the dolls they had played with before. Xia Zhuomian thought Sui Sui didn't know and asked her, but Tong Yu Sui pointed it out. She was suddenly happy and a little embarrassed, and the two of them started a fight.
They were chatting happily when Xia Zhuomian's cell phone rang. The two then realized that it was almost eleven o'clock. They immediately stood up, said goodbye to each other and prepared to leave.
Xia Zhuomian once again invited Tong Yusui to the New Year's banquet, but was rejected again. It was even more impossible for Tong Yusui to spend the New Year at his house this time. There were more brothers this year, and the New Year was also a good time to keep in touch with each other, so she must not leave.
Moreover, the family reunion plus herself always made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she decided not to go.
Seeing this, Xia Zhuomian could only nod regretfully.
......
Nothing serious happened to Tong Yusui before the New Year. Everyone at the dock already knew her identity. Since knowing this, Zhao Xing's mood has been a little complicated. He was hesitant when he chose to surrender before, because Tong Yusui's biggest advantage was her identity, but she didn't look at all conspicuous, and even he was deceived, or because he knew some gossip: Hai Ye left instructions when Liu Yang left Jiangcheng.
That's why he chose Tong Yusui, who looked very weak at that time. He thought he was her most trusted confidant and started thinking about how to deal with Ji Ze. Now he realized that he was the one who was one step late.
Zhao Xing felt a sense of crisis, and his previous carelessness and negligence disappeared a lot.
Tong Yusui noticed it, but just smiled without saying anything, acknowledging the fact that he really had to work hard.
A few days later, the Wanjiang River became even colder and the dock was closed to ships. Tong Yusui received an invitation from Lu Xidan. As the leader of the Wanjiang River, receiving his invitation letter was a symbol of strength. Similarly, you had no way to refuse.
Originally, as the New Year was approaching, Xia Zhuomian was not willing to go with her, but when she learned that she was going to attend the banquet, Xia Zhuomian always felt some inexplicable worries in her heart, but she couldn't let her parents know about this.
Tong Yusui didn't want to trouble him. After all, there was nothing fun at the banquet. After thinking about it, she gave him her invitation and prepared to go with Ji Ze.
"You can come if you want."
Xia Zhuomian held the invitation and nodded.
Soon, the banquet began. Tong Yusui arrived just in time. There were already quite a few people inside. She and Ji Ze stood together. Although Ji Ze stood in the middle, he was always one step behind Tong Yusui. Those who knew the inside story knew what was going on. Seeing them come in without any embarrassment, they all smiled.
They were all dressed in black, which was not out of place in such an occasion. Most people at the banquet were dressed in suits and ties, and some people were holding the arms of beautiful women in gorgeous clothes. The clothes were fluttering, the music was melodious, and it looked extremely grand.
Soon, they saw Lu Xidan and went forward to greet him. Lu Xidan looked at Tong Yusui with a gentle face. The two chatted quite happily. Just as they were about to part, someone else came forward. It was Mu Xingzhou.
He also saw him, snorted coldly, and ignored him. He turned to look at Lu Xidan with a smile on his face. Tong Yusui naturally would not make things difficult for himself, so he turned around and left with his men.
After that, she separated from Ji Ze and stood to the left of the center, chatting with the people around her. Most of them wanted to ask about her relationship with the dock or whether she could discuss cooperation with them.
They have been coveting it for a long time, but the previous manager was from Jiangcheng and did not give them any face. Now is the time for personnel change and it is a busy time.
Tong Yusui naturally would not agree and just told them to go find Ji Ze.
Those who knew understood that this was a rejection, and those who didn’t went to find Ji Ze. Tong Yusui finally had some free time in front of her. She sat down, holding the wine in her hand and staring blankly, not knowing whether Mianmian would come or not.
"You look very tired."
A gentle female voice sounded, and Tong Yusui raised her head. It was a familiar face. In fact, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they were not very familiar with each other.
Seeing that she still recognized her, the woman opposite couldn't help but smile, with some happiness and tenderness, which made her pretty face more vivid. After a few years of separation, the years did not leave any traces on her face, but made her more gentle and beautiful.
“…Wanqing?” Tong Yusui recalled for a long time and finally remembered her name.
Wan Qing was even happier when she heard her name called out, "So you remember my name."
Tong Yusui nodded slightly. She remembered that the soup she stewed was delicious.
After that, the two of them suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Seeing that she didn't ask anything, Wan Qing smiled again. She picked up the wine glass with her hand with red rouge nails and gently touched the glass in front of Tong Yusui. Without saying anything, she raised her head and drank it.
Tong Yusui leaned against the table, looking up at her beautiful and fragile neck with an inexplicable expression.
She finished her drink and didn't argue any further. She just smiled lightly and said, "I have to go."
With that, she turned and left, her back as beautiful and enchanting as before.
Later, Tong Yusui saw her next to Mu Xingzhou. She was holding Mu Xingzhou's arm, smiling appropriately, showing her value.
Tong Yusui did not drink the last glass of wine and went somewhere else.
She didn't have much free time during the banquet. After all, she was not strong enough now. Even if the mountain did not fall to her, she would still fall to the mountain.
In the second half, Tong Yusui couldn't drink anymore. The heating in the room made her feel dizzy. She took off her suit jacket and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she was a little more sober. After seeing almost everyone, she went outside to get some fresh air.
It was very cold outside. Tong Yusui leaned against the railing and felt a little sleepy. Then she felt that there was another person beside her. The person's body was soft, with a gentle fragrance, and seemed somewhat familiar. She leaned against the person, her eyes were too sleepy to open. She only vaguely felt something, and then lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed. There was no one in the room and it looked a little empty. She wanted to get up, but found that her body seemed not to be her own and she could not move at all. She lay on the sofa with cold eyes.
After a while, someone finally came. It was Mu Xingzhou, no surprise at all.
Tong Yusui was lying there, looking at him with a sarcastic expression.
"These are the only low-class tricks you know."
Mu Xingzhou was a little angry, but when he saw her lying there unable to move and having to do whatever he wanted, he calmed down. He turned around and went to the front to bring a plate. He lit some incense and poured himself a glass of red wine. He looked at her, proud and at ease, and said, "Would you like a glass?"
No one responded to him, only a pair of eyes that wanted to kill him.
