Shen Mo Di walked out wearing a purple strapless long dress. She swayed gracefully as she walked, making the two-million-yuan jewelry look as if it were worth twenty million yuan on her. The purple evening dress on her truly gave off a dreamy vibe.
She had a slender waist, a long body, a swan-like neck, square shoulders, delicate collarbones, and her skin was as smooth as porcelain. She exuded an air of noble elegance from the inside out. If one didn't know that she came from an ordinary background, one would mistake her for being from a noble family, because her noble and elegant temperament was completely natural.
"Do you think it's okay?" Mo Di asked gracefully.
Huo Mingze lifted the corners of his mouth and praised without hesitation, "You look so beautiful, like a fairy descending to the mortal world."
Mo Di blushed at the compliment. "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Huo Mingze put down the magazine and stood up, reaching out his hand to Mo Di.
Mo Di placed her hand in his.
"Really beautiful." Huo Mingze said as he held Mo Di's hand.
"Thank you!"
"Let's go and have something to eat first. The banquet might be quite tiring later." Huo Mingze said, glancing at Mo Di's shoes. She usually wore flat shoes, but now she was wearing seven-centimeter high heels, and her feet would surely hurt later.
...
The banquet officially started at eight o'clock in the evening. However, luxury cars started arriving at the Jizhou Hotel one after another from a little after six o'clock in the evening.
Tonight's banquet was the annual business exchange meeting in Haicheng. Actually, it was more like a social gathering. Basically, all the people with status and position in Haicheng would attend. Those who were highly ambitious would try to seek opportunities for cooperation at this banquet. If there were no such opportunities, it would also be good to get to know a few more business tycoons. Young people were more likely to hope to encounter a romantic relationship.
Six years ago, Huo Mingze and Yao Yutong got to know each other at such a dinner party.
Tonight's banquet was also attended by Song Keying and Gu Tianxi. They arrived a little after seven o'clock.
Song Keying was wearing a blue evening dress. She looked gentle when she wasn't speaking, and she had a good temperament and appearance.
Gu Tianxi was wearing a custom-made suit that was entirely handmade, and he gave off an air of keeping people at a distance.
Song Keying walked into the banquet hall holding Gu Tianxi's hand, attracting a lot of attention.
Many girls cast admiring glances at Gu Tianxi and were whispering to each other:
"Hey, who's that handsome guy? He's so good-looking. I've never seen him before."
"I don't know. Maybe he's the young master of a family who has been studying abroad and just returned to the country."
"His cold temperament is really attractive. And who's the daughter of that wealthy family holding his hand? I've never seen her either."
"Oh, I remember now. She's Song Keying, the daughter of the jewelry tycoon in Meicheng."
"Oh, right, right. That handsome guy is Gu Tianxi, the young master of the Gu family. Their marriage was reported by the media recently."
"Alas, they're already married. What a pity. I thought he was a young master who had just returned from abroad. There's no hope for us. Speaking of this, I wonder when Huo Sanshao Huo Mingze and Yao Yutong will get married? I'm really looking forward to their wedding. The scene will surely be spectacular."
"Yao Yutong is here. Eh, why is she alone today? She used to always be with Huo Sanshao."
"I don't know. Maybe Huo Sanshao is busy and will come later or not come at all. I heard that the competition in the Huo family is quite fierce now. None of the three young masters of the Huo family is an easy-going person."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't discuss these things here."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Someone took the initiative to greet Yao Yutong: "Yutong."
Yao Yutong walked over with a smile to greet everyone. Since they were all daughters of wealthy families who played together, even if their relationships weren't extremely good, they would still greet each other when they met.
After greeting a few daughters of wealthy families, Yao Yutong left with a smile. There were small circles within the big circle, and she had her own small circle.
In the northern corner of the banquet hall.
Song Keying eagerly handed Gu Tianxi a glass of wine: "Tianxi, here you are."
Gu Tianxi had a expressionless face and didn't take the wine from Song Keying's hand. Instead, he reached out and took a glass of red wine from the tray of a passing waiter.
Song Keying's face didn't look good. She said in a low voice, "Tianxi, do you have to treat me like this?"
"You should be glad that Uncle Shen is okay." Gu Tianxi said coldly.
Song Keying's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and apologized, "Tianxi, I'm sorry."
She knew that Gu Tianxi knew about the fact that she had gone to provoke Shen Weiguo.
Feeling aggrieved, she said, "Tianxi, could you be a little fair to me? I'm your wife. Why do you always think about the Shen family?"
Gu Tianxi looked at Song Keying coldly and warned, "I'll say it again. I had nothing to do with Shen Mo Di three years ago. But Uncle Shen was once kind to me."
"But you've always been so cold to me, especially since we came to Haicheng."
"Should I worship you?" Gu Tianxi asked rhetorically.
"That's not what I meant. I..."
Gu Tianxi interrupted, "If you think you can't take it, go and tell Grandpa that you want to divorce."
"I don't want to divorce, Tianxi. I'm wrong. I shouldn't have forced you..." Song Keying apologized and was about to say a few words to express her love when she saw Shen Mo Di walking in.
She was shocked by Shen Mo Di's appearance and temperament.
Shen Mo Di was wearing a purple strapless long dress, high heels, tassel earrings, and her hair was simply coiled up with a strand of hair hanging down on each side naturally, looking noble and elegant.
She had always known that Shen Mo Di was good-looking and would outshine others with a little dressing up. She had also seen Shen Mo Di at events before.
But today's Shen Mo Di was even more stunning than any other time she had seen her.
She was so stunning that it made her jealous.
She immediately looked at Gu Tianxi.
She saw that Gu Tianxi just glanced at the door and then calmly withdrew his gaze.
Song Keying let out a sigh of relief.
She whispered, "Tianxi, let's go and say hello to General Manager Zhao."
"Um." Gu Tianxi replied indifferently.
Song Keying didn't care about Gu Tianxi's attitude at all. She just hoped that the dinner would end soon.
She was afraid that Gu Tianxi's soul would be hooked away by Shen Mo Di again.
Yao Yutong was sitting and chatting with her girlfriends.
She was complaining, and her girlfriends were expressing their dissatisfaction on her behalf: "Mingze is really narrow-minded. You just went abroad, and he found someone to marry?"
"He asked me to choose between going abroad and him at that time. He used to be so 包容 of me without limits. I didn't expect that he would be serious this time."
"Is the woman beside Mingze the wife he married through a blind date? Yutong, didn't you say that the woman he married through a blind date had a poor family background and looked rustic all over?"
When Yao Yutong heard that Huo Mingze had arrived, she immediately turned to look.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Shen Mo Di was holding Huo Mingze's arm. Shen Mo Di was elegant, and Huo Mingze was noble. The two of them were a perfect match, made for each other.
Yao Yutong couldn't help tightening her grip on the goblet, and the smile on her face couldn't be maintained. It froze completely on her face.
Huo Mingze, how could you bring this woman here?
Immediately after that, she heard Huo Mingze say to the general manager of Juli Investment: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Liu. This isn't my secretary, nor is it my new girlfriend. She's my wife. Her name is Shen Mo Di."
