131 Can’t Be Friends
Yan Zimeng: ...
She really wanted to curse.
Seeing Yan Zimeng standing there in a daze, Nangong Jue went straight to the door and opened it. “Fang Ming.”
Fang Ming shuddered. From his tone, he could tell that he was doomed. Could it be that he would lose this year’s bonus? However, he still hurried over. “Sir Jue.”
“People who don’t have an appointment are casually let up here. What are you doing?”
“In the past, Miss Yan could come up at will, so...”
“You said it yourself. That was in the past.” Nangong Jue’s face was so cold that it was about to freeze. “Tell the front desk that in the future, if they let people without an appointment up, they can pack up their things and get lost.”
“Yes.” Fang Ming nodded.
A trace of hatred flashed across Yan Zimeng’s eyes as she looked at Nangong Jue. However, she didn’t say anything and turned to leave. Yes, she hated them. What right did these people have to treat her like this? Therefore, these people all deserved to die!
Nangong Jue naturally noticed the change in Yan Zimeng’s gaze, but he didn’t care. Wasn’t it normal for her to hate him after rejecting her? However, he still sighed in his heart. Wasn’t it good to be sensible like before? She had to make him say it out loud. Seriously... they couldn’t even be friends anymore.
The Zhao family’s banquet was held in the multipurpose hall of the Earl Hotel, which was the best seven star hotel in Xiling City.
Zhao Xincheng was the head of the political circle in Xiling City, and many people wanted to get to know him. Although the Zhao family didn’t send many invitations, many powerful people came, so more than three times the number of people on the list came to the banquet.
Le Yao and the others had all followed Qian Meiqi here, so they were very low-key. They were dressed in very low-key gowns. They were not rude, but they were definitely not too eye-catching.
Of course, with their good looks, they stood out in the crowd. There was no helping it.
Hong Xia’s gown was prepared by Qian Meiqi. It was a knee-length lake blue gown and looked very elegant.
“This is the first time I’m wearing such an expensive gown and high heels,” Hong Xia muttered softly. She even raised her hand to touch her hair. “The money for this haircut is enough to cover half a year’s income for my family in the village.”
“You have to believe that you’re very powerful. In the future, you’ll definitely be able to make a fortune with your village.” Le Yao really admired Hong Xia. Although she didn’t have money, her values were very upright and she was passionate. Even when facing a group of children from wealthy families, she was neither servile nor overbearing. Such a person would only be poor for a while. In the future, she would definitely stand at the top.
“Yes, I believe it too.” Hong Xia turned to look at Le Yao and smiled confidently.
At this moment, everyone had already walked to the entrance of the banquet hall.
The receptionist at the door was Zheng Bai. When he saw Qian Meiqi and the others, he greeted them with a smile. “Miss Qian.”
“Brother Zheng, these are my classmates.” Qian Meiqi introduced everyone.
“Come on in.” Zheng Bai smiled. “Madam just asked when you were coming.” His gaze lingered on Qiao Qiao and Le Yao for two seconds.
Qian Meiqi invited everyone in.
“This is my first time attending such a banquet. You can’t let me be alone later, or I’ll embarrass myself.” Hong Xia glanced at everyone. “There are many rules that I don’t understand.”
“Don’t worry. We’re just here to eat and drink. We won’t let you be alone.” Wang Xia held her arm. “Let’s be conjoined babies later.”
