Chapter 230 Stilettos
Another thirty minutes had passed and the Auction was about to start.
At this point, Jiang Mian was already losing her patience, so she decided to visit the mini bar and have a little drink.
Because of this, she missed Fu Jin and Jiang Yue’s entrance.
Fu Jin was wearing a black three-piece suit that made him look more mature than his actual age. His presence was so domineering that people failed to notice the woman beside him, who was wearing a black pantsuit that hugged her small waistline and long legs.
Many people started introducing themselves to Fu Jin and even congratulate him for his engagement with Jiang Yue. Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Yue was just standing a few feets away from Fu Jin, solemnly observing everyone.
Jiang Yue was not wearing anything to disguise herself except the black contact lenses that she had chosen to avoid attracting too much attention.
Tonight was Fu Jin’s night.
Of course, some people also tried to conduct a conversation with Jiang Yue, after all, they found her somewhat familiar and very beautiful.
However, the current Jiang Yue had a different vibe than her usual pampered young miss aura. Her black eyes seemed to know everything behind the smiling facade that everyone gave to Fu Jin.
"Mr. Fu, I want you to meet my favorite actress Miss Jiang Mian. But everyone calls her Mian Mian now." An older man introduced Jiang Mian to Fu Jin. This man was the current CEO of the agency that Jiang Mian was in. However, he was unaware of Jiang Mian’s history with Fu Jin and Jiang Yue.
"Mr. Fu, I am very glad to see you again." Jiang Mian said, her cheeks a little crimson from the little alcohol that she had before.
"Again? So you guys have already known each other before?" the CEO said before laughing."Good... Good. This is a very happy occasion. How about we make a toast for this meeting?" he said as he offered Fu Jin a glass of wine.
A devious glint flashed in Jiang Mian’s eyes as she saw Fu Jin accepting the glass without saying anything. She watched as Fu Jin looked at her as if he was not able to recognize her. Was it possible that he had forgotten about her? Impossible, right?
Fu Jin made a toast toward the CEO before taking a sip. Then he turned to Jiang Mian again and wondered what was the purpose of this woman’s appearance. Could it be related to Li Qiang?
Seeing that Fu Jin was staring at her, Jiang Mian gave him a very dazzling smile. "I wonder if CEO Fu still remembers me?" she asked, her voice clear and devoid of any coquettish tone.
"No." Fu Jin’s short answer almost made Jiang Mian and her CEO choke on their drinks. He did not remember?!
"I don’t remember insignificant people." Fu Jin’s bluntness made Jiang Mian grit her teeth, trying to compose herself.
"CEO Fu must be kidding. I am Jiang’s Yue younger sister," she answered.
"Hmmm," Fu Jin just nodded without acknowledging her. This made the entire conversation awkward.
"Hehe... CEO Fu, you are such a sweetheart. How can you forget someone as beautiful as Mian Mian?" the wife of the CEO thought out loud. "You don’t have to be embarrassed about it. Anyway, Miss Jiang Yue is not here. We can always keep a secret." she added with a wink. With her words, Jiang Mian immediately faked a blush, sending side glances at Fu Jin.
She wanted to know how will Fu Jin react. However, to everyone’s disappointment, Fu Jin just stared at them bluntly. "I’m not sure if you are trying to be a pimp but I’m not really interested." Then Fu Jin took another sip of his wine.
Everyone around him seemed to swallow a big fly, unable to say a thing. What was Fu Jin’s meaning?
In this industry, who didn’t like beautiful girls around them? Was Fu Jin that in love with his fiance that he would outright refuse a very blunt proposal from people with the same ranking as him?
"I’m sorry CEO Fu, but you misunderstood our meaning."Jiang Mian said after a few seconds of silence. "They just thought that you would remember me. After all, we both topped the exams two years ago."
This earned a sigh of relief from Jiang Mian’s boss. At least she was smart enough to clarify things, saving their face as everyone heard them.
"Oh! The auction is about to start. CEO Fu, why don’t you join us in our private lounge?" One businessman offered when he noticed the signal for the auction start.
In response, Fu Jin just nodded and continued to talk to the other gentlemen while ignoring Jiang Mian and her boss.
Of course, this would not have stopped Jiang Mian from following Fu Jin. However, this time, she noticed the woman, who was silently following Fu Jin.
She squinted her eyes while looking at the lady, who was taller than her with her stilettos. She rummaged her mind as she analyzed, how come Fu Jin’s bodyguard was a girl, wearing stilettos.
Since the bodyguard was walking ahead of them, she was not able to see her face. But her guts had already told her that something was wrong.
This woman would not be Jiang Yue, right?
