Love Just Begins - C80
This mask fit An Shengmei’s wishes perfectly and she wore it on her face without saying anything. The mask was very light, like a light muslin cloth covering one’s face, and it did not give off an uncomfortable feeling. In order to not be separated from An Shengmei, Chen Xiye held the mask in her hand and did not wear it.
Champagne towers and black suits were everywhere, and the lights were dimmed, making the person’s silhouette appear soft. As the clothes fluttered, the sounds of people coming and going to drink could be heard, but no noises could be heard.
The piano’s sound rang out in a corner of the hall. It was a very slow tune, causing one to unconsciously slow down their steps and become lazy, completely blending in.
An Shengmei didn’t really know how to drink, so she instructed her to make a show of holding a cup. If someone toasted him, she would sip, but there was no need to finish his cup.
With that, Chen Xiye hid into the crowd. One must know that the more relaxed a person was, the more Wu Yi would agree on the contract.
But she ignored the number of people around her …. When many people saw that An Shengmei looked like she was taking care of newbies when she just arrived, they all raised their cups with an attitude of taking care of the newbies. As a result, before the banquet had even officially started, An Shengmei had already drunk most of it.
Not daring to look around, she found a corner to sit down in and finally let out a sigh of relief. In fact, there weren’t many people wearing masks and those in their forties wouldn’t do such childish things. However, they were talking to each other on the third floor and the top floor.
However, she came as the company’s boss, not a junior who had long knowledge and connections. She couldn’t help but look at the girl in front of her. She was in her twenties, looking like she wasn’t easy to get along with.
Since she was holding onto a thick book and reading through such an occasion calmly, she did not wear a mask. However, she kept her head down, making An Shengmei unable to see her face.
Perhaps because she felt An Shengmei’s gaze, the girl slowly raised her head.
“Siqi.”
The girl put down the book and stretched out her hand. An Shengmei didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that she had a perfectly round frame when she spoke.
“My name is An Shengmei, you, hello.” Without much thought, he intertwined his ten fingers and discovered a small ring on the girl’s ring finger.
“You …”
“I’m married.” The girl took over An Shengmei’s words, and laughed indifferently: “You’re very special.” Yes, something special that doesn’t know anything. If you know, you might not feel that way anymore, the girl told herself.
“So early?” An Shengmei asked in shock, and even felt that the girl was pitiful.
Just as he wanted to ask more, the crowd started arguing, An Shengmei looked over, but was unable to find anything.
“You want to see what happened?” The girl asked her, but An Shengmei shook her head, “If you can block her, it’s better if you don’t squeeze through.”
“I’ll show you.” Siqi turned her head, holding the book in one hand and dragging An Shengmei with the other as she ran for the second floor.
“Sigh, wait …” Isn’t it impossible to go up there? But the old housekeeper, who was standing at the foot of the stairs, watched them run up without saying a word, as if he hadn’t seen them.
“Hey, is it really okay for you to come up just like that?” An Shengmei was pulled up to the second floor, and together with Siqi, he climbed up the railing and looked down.
Siqi did not understand and followed her gaze, but she only saw a beautiful man and a timid woman walking in from the door. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two of them, and she pushed An Shengmei a little, “You know them? Do you want to help them out? ”
“No need …”
How could Tan Yizhe fall to wanting her to help him? If it was really so, he would not have brought Chen Xin here.
Yes, the woman beside Tan Yizhe was Chen Xin. Even though she had already made preparations, facing so many people’s gazes, he still cowered behind Tan Yizhe with a pitiful look.
“That man is Tan Yizhe, he does not have any family background, and beside him is Chen Xin. It seems like he was his assistant before, but now … As for that … “Siqi seemed to really think that An Shengmei didn’t recognize them, as he pointed to each and every one of them, before landing on a woman in a white dress,” That’s Yi Xue, the fiancée of Tan Yizhe’s past.
“I know them, and I know them well.” An Shengmei did not hide it from them, but she did not say what their relationship was, and Siqi did not speak anymore. She held her chin, and quietly looked at the commotion below, as though she was at peace.
Many people felt that it was a pity for Yi Xue, and of course many people felt that Yi Xue was funny, but towards Tan Yizhe, some people felt that he was stupid and ungrateful, that he did not give in to wealth. But when it came to Chen Xin, most people only thought of one word — Xiao San.
Not everyone could be like Siqi, who could speak of this matter without any emotions, and Yi Xue and Tan Yizhe’s revenge wedding was also a joke.
Yi Xue’s face did not have much of an expression, she should still be smiling, but Yi’s Father’s expression was not so good. She snorted, placed the goblet on the table heavily, and snorted, “He still dares to appear in front of me, is the Yi family his toy, or is this child’s play?”
“Father …” Yi Xue called out softly. Her face was a little pale, not like she was putting on an act.
When the people at the side saw her actions, regardless of whether she was real or fake, they all sent her a sympathetic look. Meanwhile, those who were looking at Tan Yizhe became looks of disdain …
Seeing their change, An Shengmei shook her head helplessly, “Why do they believe this when they see a one-sided matter, and still accept this as the truth?”
Siqi also nodded in agreement. Her gaze was a little unfocused, and it was clear that she felt a little bored.
“Siqi, I called you over.” The butler from before walked over, and didn’t even look at An Shengmei, he only half-bent down and said to the girl, “Also, don’t …”
“I know.” Siqi frowned, her face was a little impatient, the butler opened his mouth, clearly showing that she was concerned with An Shengmei, as he turned and left.
“You know what?” Siqi handed the book over to An Shengmei, “This is for you. Guess who I am, there’s a prize in your guess, and if you guessed wrong, you’ll be punished.”
An Shengmei looked at the girl in the dark blue long skirt in front of him, blinked her eyes and said, “You are the chairman of Star Ocean Enterprise … “Daughter?”
Siqi shook her head as she took out the lip gloss from her pocket. She lightly touched it, and used her index finger to wipe the excess dark red from the corner of her lips. She turned around and tied up her hair, and said to An Shengmei, “Don’t go anywhere, stay here. Are we friends? ”
An Shengmei nodded as she watched her walk down the stairs, step by step, losing her tender gentleness. Her eyes became confident and numb as she said to everyone, “I welcome everyone as a guest here, and at the same time, I am honored.”
