Chapter 559: I have the final say
Chapter 559 I have the final say
Xia Ling asked: "Is he busy tonight?"
Wang Tao said meaningfully: "Miss Ye, stop pretending. We plain people don't tell secrets. Who doesn't know that this banquet looks like a charity cocktail party on the surface. In fact, it was the old man of the Li family who chose the second young master Li. For the daughter-in-law? To put it bluntly, this is a big blind date feast. Look at these famous ladies and wealthy young men...all of them are dressing themselves up beautifully. Why do you think that is?"
Xia Ling felt her head buzzing, a blind date feast? !
She looked at the reception scene not far away. Sure enough, it was a bit more ambiguous than many banquets on weekdays. The girls had dressed themselves up very carefully, with fragrant clothes and shadows on their temples, and flowing eyes. Each one was more beautiful and charming than the other.
She was stunned.
Wang Tao took two glasses of wine from the passing waiter and handed them to her. He leaned against the white jade railing and looked at the scene outside with her. "That's how this circle is." He sighed with emotion. "No matter how messy you are outside, you will end up marrying these few people. It's boring."
He raised his glass and saluted Xia Ling from a distance: "Why don't you stay happy for a few more days while you can still be happy? Miss Ye, after drinking this glass of wine, we can become friends."
Xia Ling didn’t hear what he was saying clearly.
Her mind was very confused and her mind was full of things. Is Li Lei going on a blind date?
Her chest was filled with panic. She finally understood why he didn't tell her about the party tonight, and she also understood why an inexplicable invitation letter was sent to her mailbox. I'm afraid that someone deliberately asked her to come over and witness all this with her own eyes. Whether they made her look embarrassed or made her give up on Li Lei, they would spare no effort to break them up.
"Sorry, I don't feel very well." She said softly, stood up on the back of the sofa chair, and was about to leave.
“Ye…” Wang Tao still wanted to call her.
Suddenly, two women walked over from the other end of the porch. One of them had long curly hair and a gorgeous fiery red dress. There were dots of gold powder at the end of her eyes. She was Gu Lin.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Xingling?" Gu Lin saw her and shouted, "Why, you sneaked into the banquet for nothing, why are you wandering around alone if you are not with your godbrother? I I know Brother Lei doesn’t like you, so he dumped you just after he came in.”
Xia Ling looked gloomy. She was already in a bad mood, and yet she was told such incomprehensible words.
“A good dog stays out of the way,” she said. She was thinking about the blind date and wanted to go to Li Lei to find out. She didn't want to quarrel with Gu Lin, but Gu Lin blocked her path.
Hearing what she said, Gu Lin turned pale with anger.
The woman next to Gu Lin also had an ugly look on her face. She was also a lady from an aristocratic family, wearing a silver-white long dress decorated with twinkling stars. She had delicate collarbones and a slender waist. Her long hair hangs down like silk and has obviously been carefully taken care of, showing nobility and perfection everywhere.
She glanced at Xia Ling with her beautiful jewel-like eyes, and quickly looked away, as if she accidentally saw some garbage. She tilted her head slightly and asked Gu Lin in a reserved and cold voice, "Who is this?"
"It's Ye Xingling, a singer." Gu Lin raised her chin and looked at Xia Ling arrogantly and provocatively.
A singer? No wonder he is so uneducated. The woman in the silver-white dress frowned slightly and thought Xia Ling was a singer invited to the banquet. She didn't bother arguing with such a person and said to Gu Lin quietly: "Let's go." Before going out today, her family issued a death order that she must win the favor of Second Young Master Li. She didn't want to waste time here with someone she didn't want to do. "But Sister Nangong... I hate her!" Gu Lin was unwilling to give in. How could she let Ye Xingling go in vain? You should take this opportunity to drive her out!
The woman named Nangong frowned slightly.
This Gu Lin is too ignorant. A rich young lady, why should a singer and songwriter argue? He lowered his status for no reason! She showed a little impatience: "Let's go, I have just returned to China, and I am not used to the climate and culture here. You promised me that you would take me to see the Second Young Master Li, and I have to ask him for advice as a How should people who grew up abroad adapt to the domestic atmosphere?"
"Oh, yes." Gu Lin then remembered Miss Nangong's purpose and said, "I will take you there right now. Let me tell you, brother Lei is my childhood sweetheart. We have been in love since we were young. Brother Lei is the best Love me." He said and glanced at Xia Ling provocatively.
Miss Nangong nodded slightly, but thought disdainfully in her heart, everyone said that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was a fool, and it was indeed true. If Li Lei really regarded her as his childhood sweetheart, why would there be this blind date party?
On the surface, he said elegantly: "Let's go and take a look."
Gu Lin was very enthusiastic: "I will take you there right now." She heard that Sister Nangong would soon be engaged to Du Yunfeng, the young executive director of the Du family, and was not worried that she would steal brother Lei like other women. , so there is no defense.
Xia Ling, on the other hand, saw some signs that this Miss Nangong might not be interested in drinking, but also came after Li Lei. She was very unhappy and felt that she must go to Li Lei and ask him clearly, why was he so attractive?
“A good dog doesn’t stand in the way!” This time, it was Gu Lin who returned what she had just said intact.
Xia Ling looked at them coldly and snorted.
Miss Nangong felt that this female singer was too brave, and she couldn't help frowning: "Which company are you from? You haven't received special banquet training, right? How can you make money with such etiquette?"
Xia Ling was so angry that she almost laughed, "Who said I was here to make money today?"
Miss Nangong felt even more disgusted with her. She wasn't here to make money. Could it be that she was here to catch a rich husband? However, this is also normal. Every time we meet at a banquet of wealthy and famous people, there will be a group of peripheral women trying to squeeze in. Those who are unlucky will find a financial sponsor, and occasionally they will get lucky. Really You can marry into a rich family.
She glanced at Wang Tao next to Xia Ling and guessed that Xia Ling also had such thoughts.
In the eyes of a noble lady from a distinguished family, this kind of thing seemed to be nothing more than a shame, so she said with a bit more contempt in her eyes, "Why don't you give way?"
"You were the ones who blocked my way first." Xia Ling was also furious. Each of these women was thinking about her man, so why did they expect her to get out of the way? She looked at them with a sneer, "You're looking for Li Lei, right? Li Lei doesn't have time."
"You don't have the final say whether Brother Lei is free or not. Ye Xingling, who do you think you are?" Gu Lin was very angry.
“What a coincidence, it was me who had the final say.” Xia Ling refused to budge.
Miss Nangong on the side heard something was wrong: "Ye..." or something? "Do you know Mr. Li?"
