He was a middle aged man in his forties, with glasses and a fair head. He was a little fat, with a big belly, but his eyes were sharp and he seemed to be calculating something.
Jian Yun knew this man. He was a representative of Korean cosmetics in Qinghu City and was considered wealthy. However, this Mr. Li seemed to be married. So, Lin Lanlan was third? Or was she just a playmate brought out by a man's act?
However, no matter what Lin Lanlan was, Jian Yun did not care.
"That's right. Jian Yun and I are high school classmates!" Lin Lanlan did not mention that she and Jian Yun were half sisters. Although she did not take Jian Yun seriously, there was Huo Liancheng behind Jian Yun now. She had encountered trouble with Huo Liancheng before and knew Huo Liancheng's family background. She was not stupid enough to court death. If she revealed her relationship now, it would only make Huo Liancheng hate her and it would not benefit her future plans.
"There is actually such a relationship. What a coincidence!" Mr. Li's eyes lit up when he heard that and he hugged Lin Lanlan even tighter. Then he took a step forward and reached out to shake hands with Jian Yun, "Mrs. Huo is indeed born beautiful. Mr. Huo is really blessed!"
Before Mr. Li could get close to Jian Yun, he was blocked by two people on the left and right. There was a man and a woman blocking his way. They were around 20 years old. They were handsome and cold, and their eyes were fierce.
"These two are?" Mr. Li was also a little confused. He didn't know when he had offended the two of them.
"You two, go out of the way." Jian Yun smiled faintly. The two of them listened to her words and separated. They stood behind her and still stared coldly at their surroundings.
Jian Yun did not explain their identities but everyone present reacted. These two were clearly bodyguards.
Lin Lanlan also stared at the two people without blinking and was shocked in her heart. When she realized that these two should be bodyguards, her heart was immediately filled with jealousy. Why did Jian Yun have such good luck to actually live the life of a wealthy lady? Looking at her outfit, it was clearly custom-made by a big shot. And that jewelry, just the necklace alone was something she could not afford in her entire life!
Lin Lanlan stared at Jian Yun and could no longer hide her jealousy and hatred towards Jian Yun.
"Mr. Li, my husband does not like me to be too close to a stranger." Jian Yun's lips curled up. She did not have any interest in talking to Mr. Li. She wanted to find something to eat now and was hungry.
Lin Lanlan's face was really disgusting. This woman was really two-faced. When they first met outside the coffee shop a few months ago, she was still showing off. She was dressed in hot clothes. How could she pretend to be a white lotus flower in such a short time? She pretended to be pitiful all the time and tried to get close to her in front of everyone. After being treated coldly, she pretended to be pitiful and bullied. It was really disgusting.
Mr. Li awkwardly withdrew his hand and revealed a smile on his face, "Yes, yes
Jian Yun nodded and considered it as a greeting. Then, she turned around and walked towards the buffet area. Before she came, Huo Liancheng had told her that she did not need to force herself to deal with those women's.
Jian Yun understood what he meant. It was:- Your family's man is very powerful, very powerful! So powerful that only other people can curry favor with you. There is no need for you to welcome anyone!
But Jian Yun did not care about others, but it did not mean that those people did not come to find her. This, she came to the buffet area. Behind her, there was a hubbub. A large group of people followed behind her. All of them came to talk to her. Some praised her dress's beauty, and some praised her jewelry's beauty. Jian Yun had always been thin-skinned. She was too embarrassed to face these kind intentions and could only eat while dealing with them.
On the other side, Mr. Li's eyes stared at Jian Yun but did not move away. At the same time, he hugged Lin Lanlan and pinched her butt. He asked in a vulgar manner, "You and Mrs. Huo are really classmates. Why do I see that she is very cold to you?"
Lin Lanlan suppressed the disgust in her heart and said with a smile, "No. she is just like that. She has a cold personality. A while ago, during a classmate gathering, someone arranged trouble for her. She uploaded the audio. I think she has some misunderstanding about me."
"Lanlan, can you help me set up a thread and let Mrs. Huo give me a chance to meet Mr. Huo?" Mr. Li rolled his eyes and made a request.
"This..." Lin Lanlan frowned awkwardly.
"As long as it is settled, I will satisfy all of your requests!" Mr. Li thought that Lin Lanlan was pretending to ask him for money and gifts. There was coldness in his eyes but the corner of his mouth still lifted up. He smiled and said: "Didn't you want money? As long as I can see Mr. Huo, I can give you a million!"
"Really?" Lin Lanlan bit her lips and began to struggle because she knew that Jian Yun would not give her this chance at all. But now she really needed money!
"Two million!" Mr. Li thought that Lin Lanlan thought it was too little and the sneer on his lips became wider. He added another one million. Compared to the value of meeting Huo Liancheng, these two million was not worth mentioning.
"Alright then, I'll go and try!" Lin Lanlan still did not dare to guarantee, but the temptation of money stirred the string in her heart and made her restless.
She was used to living a luxurious life, but Jian Dongming's bankruptcy made her fall from heaven to hell, and Lin Rong was locked up again. Originally, she wanted to find Jian Yun without any previous grudges and try to get close to Huo Liancheng through Jian Yun, just like how she used to get close to Xu Haiyang through Jian Yun. As long as Huo Liancheng could take a fancy to her, she was confident that she could snatch this man from Jian Yun, who made the whole world go crazy for him. At that time, what kind of life would she want to live?
Lin Lanlan was very confident in herself. All these years, there were countless men worshipping under her dress overseas. She did not believe that Huo Liancheng would not take the bait.
As long as it was a man, there would be a wild beast in his heart. A woman like Jian Yun was too arrogant and too reserved. She would not lower her head to a man. This kind of woman, no matter how beautiful she looked, how strong she was, and how smart she was. She's just a wooden beauty. Xu Haiyang had told her personally that Jian Yun wouldn't let him do anything. She wouldn't even let him touch her. It was really boring.
Lin Lanlan agreed and started to think about how to get close to Jian Yun. Or, she could directly look for Huo Liancheng.
On one side, Lin Lanlan was thinking about something. On the other side, Jian Yun was already so annoyed by the women beside her that she was about to go crazy. Fortunately, there was still Chen Feng and Xia Lu by her side, two bodyguards helping her block those people from getting close, but even so, they were almost unable to take it.
But tonight was destined to not be peaceful. First, Xu Haiyang hit on her, then Lin Lanlan tried to get close to her. Jian Yun did not expect that she would actually meet Jian Dongming here.
Tonight's cocktail party was organized by Qinghu City's Business Recruitment Bureau. Those who could come to participate had a certain status. With Jian Dongming's current status, he did not have the qualifications to get an invitation card. Clearly, Jian Dongming came in with others.
