Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 582: Don’t Come Back Tonight
After getting everything ready, she dragged her out the door. Jingxi sat in the living room, looking at his beautifully dressed mommy, and asked where they were going, insisting on tagging along.
In the end, there was no choice but to bring him along.
Lan Shan drove the car, while Ye Xinluo held Jingxi in the back seat... She didn’t drive her own car today but chose another one from the garage.
Because it was evening rush hour, the car stopped shortly after driving, and all they could see ahead was a long line of cars.
By the time they reached the venue, it was already 7:30 PM. The banquet officially started at 8, so there was still time.
She found an invitation card from the glove compartment and handed it to her, saying, "If you meet him tonight, ask him properly. If he’s not honest, call me, and this little guy and I will help you beat him up..."
Hearing someone call him, Jingxi looked up, puzzled at the two of them, "Mommy, who are you going to beat up?"
Lan Shan: "We’ll beat up the big bad guy bullying your mommy. Jingxi, do you want to help?"
"I do... bullying my mommy, I..." He looked around, not finding anything useful as a weapon, and angrily said, "I’ll bite him to death!!"
Pfft...
Laughter erupted inside the car, and then Lan Shan spoke again, "By the way, after finding out, don’t come back tonight. Do whatever you want, I’ll take care of Jingxi..."
Ye Xinluo: "......"
Why does it feel like I’m being sold out??
She glanced at the invitation card in her hand, "Where did you get this thing?"
Lan Shan shot a nonchalant look at the item in her hand, "Oh... it was sent by the partners from the charity gala a few days ago, wanting my dad to attend... you know, my dad isn’t in the country. Otherwise, how did you think I knew about it?"
"Alright!"
Outside the car, there were many vehicles coming and going on the road. Lan Shan parked the car and quietly waited inside.
This was a private club, and she had been told the location of the banquet; she was reminded to call immediately if there was anything unexpected...
It wasn’t until 7:55 PM that Ye Xinluo got out of the car, took a deep breath, held her head high, smiled gracefully, and slowly walked towards the entrance...
By this time, there were not many people outside, but quite a few still glanced at her... their eyes seemed to reveal amazement, perhaps admiration...
"Ma’am, please show your invitation card."
She handed the invitation card to him, the attendant took a look, then handed it back to her and gestured for her to continue...
Upon entering the banquet hall, Ye Xinluo avoided the crowd and took a glass of light alcohol from a server’s tray, seeking a relatively secluded spot to stay quietly.
On stage, the host of the banquet had picked up a microphone to deliver a speech; however, Ye Xinluo didn’t catch a single word. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
She scanned the venue, but couldn’t find the person she was looking for... Was he not here or did she miss him?
She leaned gently against the wall behind her, carefully observing everything in the banquet hall.
The entire hall was brightly lit, with men in suits accompanied by their partners standing in the center, conversing with those around them.
It’s said that the person hosting the banquet has quite a status, and many corporate executives came. She was even surprised to spot the current mayor in the crowd...
