MTL - The Female Partner Who Wears a Book Steals the Halo of the Tyrant-Chapter 22 The four protagonists of the ancient castle banquet gathered together, and the general manager opened a big...
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day.
The 60th birthday banquet of Huo Zhenting, the head of the Huo family, was held at the Huo Family Castle.
On this day, the wealthy chaebols and business leaders of City A all came.
In order to come to this upper-class celebrity gathering, many popular stars in the entertainment industry also squeezed their heads, and obtained invitations as performers to come to the Huo Family Castle.
It can be said that this day is a gathering of real giants and celebrities.
In front of the castle lawn, all kinds of luxury cars are parked all over the ground, and the people who open the doors of each car and walk down are either rich or expensive.
Men are almost always in suits and ties, with family members or beautiful female companions, while women are dressed in luxurious dresses, followed by handsome bodyguards or subordinates.
A large number of media squatted outside the Huojia Castle early, waiting to take first-hand photos.
Outside the castle, there is a bodyguard at five steps and a car boy at ten steps. They maintain the order very well. The media who have not obtained the admission pass dare not break in. They can only squat outside the gate obediently, and come to a **** The car picked up the camera and took pictures frantically, for fear of missing a key person.
The eldest son of the Huo family and the housekeeper greeted these guests outside the gate, and those who were able to speak to the eldest son of the Huo family were all celebrities.
Whenever this happens, the surrounding media weekly and gossip paparazzi will take pictures so that they can go back and write a headline with an explosive title.
Soon, a black stretched Lincoln came from the Sycamore Avenue outside the castle.
When the squatting media saw the car, they immediately swarmed up: "Hurry up! It's the president of Dingsheng Group, Murong!"
The surrounding guests also stopped and looked back.
The Lincoln car door slowly opened, and Murong Chen's suit pants came out. He was about to choose the most handsome pose to show up when, behind Wutong Avenue, a crisp drifting sound suddenly sounded—
With the sound of tire friction, a beautiful sudden brake, a flamboyant red Ferrari stopped steadily in front of the gate of Huojia Castle.
In a convertible supercar,
Sitting in the driver's seat was a woman with black hair and red lips to the extreme. She held the reverse wheel with one hand, stopped the car, opened the door, and stepped on the ground with high heels. She wore a gorgeous and beautiful dress to show everyone. in front of you.
It was a very unique dress, like a cheongsam but not like a cheongsam.
The stand-up collar is sleeveless, the back waist is hollow, and the complex embroidery with black inlaid gold and red is like the totem of a phoenix spreading its wings. Tail soaring posture unfolds.
Everyone was stunned.
Someone recognized it quickly, "Isn't this Lian's daughter?!"
"It's her. There are Ferraris in City A, but she is the only one who drives this red supercar!"
And the co-driver of the red supercar sat a short-haired woman with a cool expression. After the car stopped, she also opened the door and got out of the car from the other side handsomely.
Only then did the surrounding people realize that the short-haired woman was wearing a suit that matched Lian's daughter.
The suit is handsome but not tough. The golden dragon pattern totem circles from the epaulette to the waist. The two sleeves are closed with cloud patterns. And fall to the ground, elegant and sassy when walking.
"That seems to be the daughter of the Guo family..."
The two appear at the same time, causing a lot of visual shock to everyone.
The entire crowd in the front hall of the castle lawn was quiet for a moment.
The media holding the camera was stunned for a few seconds, and instantly rushed from the front of Murong Chen's Lincoln to the Ferrari, frantically pressing the shutter.
Murong Chen, who was stepping on one foot and preparing to appear handsomely: "..."
His foot just froze in the air.
Not coming out, not taking it back.
In front of the old castle over there, the eldest son of the Huo family, who was talking with a family friend, also attracted attention, looking towards Lianxi.
"Lian Xi?" Mr. Huo watched for a while, and then barely recognized that the woman who took the audience's attention was actually Lian Xi, looking a little unbelievable.
And here Lian Xi took Guo Han's arm after getting out of the car, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You're doing well, sister, you give me a long face."
Guo Han raised his head and raised his chest, put on his hips and made a tugging poss, and said proudly: "Humph. I don't even look at who my sister is. She has a nickname called Guo Chaomo."
Lian Xi put his hand on her shoulder again and made a few CP movements, and smiled at the camera: "Okay, Guo supermodel, you will be my queen supermodel from now on."
Young Master Huo came over, looked at Lian Xi up and down a few steps, and said with a smile, "Lian Xi? Long time no see, I almost don't recognize you anymore."
Lian Xi glanced at the man in front of him and asked Guo Han in a low voice, "Who is he?"
"Master Huo, Huo Jiacheng, you don't know him anymore." Guo Han gave Lian Xi a surprised look, "Didn't you still like him in high school?"
Lianxi: "…"
She shrewdly smiled without emotion: "Master Huo, long time no see."
"It's true that the 18th female university has changed. You look like a different person from when you were a child." Huo Jiacheng looked at Lian Xi with undisguised surprise, and a kind of interest in men in women.
Lian Xi was half-joking: "Really, then who told you to pay less attention to me."
Huo Kacheng: "...cough, I'm rude."
He turned to look at Guo Han, nodded politely, raised his hand to call the housekeeper, and instructed, "I'll take Miss Lian and Miss Guo in, and you are here to greet the guests."
"Yes, sir."
Lian Xi held Guo Han, turned around and waved gracefully at various media, and the two entered the castle under the leadership of Young Master Huo.
On the other side, Murong Chen, who was stole the limelight by Lian Xi, saw that there was neither the media nor the Huo family to greet him, his face suddenly became very ugly, he endured it and got out of the car.
He turned back and stretched out his hand, pulling out the female companion he brought.
Needless to say, the female companion who was fortunate enough to be brought by this tyrannical male protagonist to the celebrity banquet was naturally the heroine Yao Qianqian.
Although Yao Qianqian had just distanced himself from him a few days ago, saying that he would never have anything to do with him again, but Murong Chen used her boss's order to ask her to let her, the assistant to the president, accompany him to participate in important social events, Yao Qianqian said. There is no way to refuse.
Obviously, today's Yao Qianqian was carefully dressed up by Murong Chen, put on a small high-order dress, put on exquisite makeup, and wore the precious jewelry he gave, and suddenly changed from Cinderella to a white swan.
The housekeeper only noticed Murong Chen at this time, and came over to greet him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murong, we are sending the guests off, I'll lead you in."
Murong Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Lead the way."
Yao Qianqian followed carefully behind him.
She was not used to wearing a 12-centimeter hat, and she walked erratically. Murong Chen, who was in a bad mood, only focused on going to Lian Xi to settle accounts. She walked fast and hastily. After a while, Yao Qianqian was left behind by him.
Yao Qianqian: "…"
She stood aggrieved in the crowded banquet hall, dazed and at a loss.
"Thousands?"
A gentle voice sounded behind him, wading like a clear stream.
Yao Qianqian turned around and saw Huo Qi's handsome and gentle face, he swept away in a panic, and said in surprise, "Doctor Huo!"
Today's Huo Qi is wearing a white suit, slender and tall, with a burgundy velvet bow tie on his chest pocket, lined with his gold-rimmed glasses, and cold and deep black eyes under the lenses, the whole person has a kind of difficulty Precious and elegant in words.
"Doctor Huo, why are you here?" When Yao Qianqian saw Huo Qi, he seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and the feeling of being out of place with this place disappeared.
Huo Qi smiled lightly: "I came here with a friend."
"Oh." Yao Qianqian didn't care too much.
Because she knew that Dr. Huo came from an ordinary background like her. As far as she knew, Dr. Huo's parents passed away very early.
Although Yao Qianqian was surprised that he could come here, he was also very fortunate, because after all, she was not the only one who didn't come from a rich and noble family.
"What about you?" Huo Qi looked behind her, but didn't see anyone else, "You came with Murong Chen, where are the others?"
Yao Qianqian pursed his lips: "I... I'm so stupid, I got separated from him."
Huo Qi said: "It doesn't matter, come with me."
The splendid banquet hall is full of hundreds of square meters, with a ten-meter high eaves of the ancient castle, several huge crystal lamps hanging down, and the surrounding walls are also full of colorful lights.
In the center of the venue, the cocktail glasses piled up in the shape of a mountain flowed like a fountain. In the self-service area of the round bar tables on both sides, on the automatic rotating conveyor belt, the white porcelain plates are filled with exquisite desserts and meals, and the variety is dazzling.
There are wine waiters and maids with trays everywhere, shuttle among the guests in the banquet hall in an orderly manner, serving them at any time.
On both sides of the stage, there are live symphony bands playing music, and men and women dancing ballroom dancing on the dance floor.
Yao Qianqian's eyes dazzled. If she hadn't followed Dr. Huo in, she might not have been able to find it.
At this time, Murong Chen, who had followed the steward to the VIP banquet hall upstairs, looked back, only to find that Yao Qianqian was lost.
He was angry and annoyed, and got angry at the housekeeper of the Huo family: "My girlfriend is lost, haven't you found it! Why don't you send someone to look for it!"
The housekeeper said in his heart, I'm walking in the front, you are behind, if you want to find out, it's you who finds out, that's not my female companion.
But the housekeeper didn't dare to say this, and nodded respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Murong, don't worry, as long as that lady is in the Huo Family Castle, everything will be fine. I'll send someone to pick her up immediately."
The housekeeper immediately contacted the bodyguards at the venue and asked them to quickly bring the female companion who came in with Murong Chen to the VIP area upstairs.
Murong Chen stood irritably in the corridor and waited.
On the other side of the corridor, Huo Jiacheng led Lian Binnian and Lian Xi Guohan who came up behind.
Huo Kacheng said: "Uncle Lian, my father wanted to cooperate with you on the last project. I took this opportunity to have a good talk. Please, my father is entertaining guests upstairs, and there are several fathers. The old friends are also there.”
The hall downstairs is used to receive ordinary guests. Those who can be invited upstairs by the Huo family are the real VIPs.
Lian Binnian looked at the handsome Huo Jiacheng and was quite satisfied, thinking that if Lian Xi liked the Huo family's children, that Huo Qi would not be able to, but this one in front of him would be fine.
"Young Master Huo is very polite. Your father and I are also old friends who have been dealing with him for many years. Today is his birthday banquet. We only talk about love and not work, so as not to spoil everyone's happiness."
Huo Jiacheng secretly said that Lian Binnian is really a tough old man. He glanced at Lianxi and smiled: "Yes, today is my father's birthday. Uncle Lian and sister Lianxi will be there together. My father will be very happy."
Lian Xi got goosebumps on his arm when he heard Huo Jiacheng call himself "Sister Lianxi".
Your sister, who is your sister!
Guo Han awkwardly turned Lian Xi's arm around and winked at her.
When Lian Xi saw Huo Ka-shing's eyes, he knew what he was thinking.
"Young Master Huo really doesn't see the outside world." She said faintly.
"We originally..." Huo Jiacheng was about to speak when he turned his head and saw the ugly Murong Chen and the head bowed housekeeper standing in the corridor opposite.
"Brother Murong? Why are you here alone?" Huo Jiacheng stepped forward and asked.
Murong Chen glanced at Huo Jiacheng coldly, and then looked at Lian Xi and Lian Binnian behind him, and his mood that was at the extreme became worse, his face was ashen and yin and yang, and he said with a strange expression: "The Huo family really has a big business, and it's not a big deal. Great, it seems that an ordinary person like me is not worthy of being personally received by the eldest young master of the Huo family."
Huo Jiacheng choked, he had never seen Murong Chen say such a heavy word to him.
However, he really didn't expect Murong Chen to be alone here. He thought that several other brothers who had always loved to hang out with Murong Chen had invited him upstairs, but he was actually here.
Huo Jiacheng didn't know that Murong Chen was implicated because he was angry when he saw Lian Xi.
He quickly reassured him: "Brother Murong, what are you talking about? I'm not doing anything. I'll ask the third child to accompany you right away. They are playing cards upstairs, just waiting for you."
Murong Chen gave Lian Xi a vicious look, and said coldly, "No need, I have to wait for someone else."
Lian Xi returned an innocent smile to Murong Chen, making him even more angry.
When Lian Binnian saw Murong Chen, he didn't have a good face, he turned around and snorted coldly.
Guo Han put in his trouser pocket and pretended to be cool, and was really excited to eat melons and watch the show.
"Wait?" Huo Jiacheng looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper then explained: "Mr. Murong's female companion was lost when he came just now. I have already sent someone to look for it, and it should be here soon."
As soon as Lian Xi heard it, he knew that this female companion must be Yao Qianqian. It was a mysterious operation that could be lost at a banquet. Apart from this heroine, there was probably no one else.
Lian Xi wanted to say to Murong Chen, "Then wait, we'll go up first."
But at this time, the system that has been pretending to be dead suddenly said: [Please say the specified line: 'I am not good enough, why do you only see her in your eyes? ’]
Lianxi: "…"
How could she forget that Murong Chen was a walking monster with equipment, and every time he encountered him, he would be caught off guard from dropping some bonus blood packs.
Lian Xi pondered for a while in her heart. She used to talk about these lines in a mess. Although she also completed the task, she also lost a lot of life points by mistake. Thinking about it, it was not worth it.
Why don't she try saying something to Murong Chen, the real male lead, this time?
Lian Xi made up his mind and opened his mouth expressionlessly: "Murong Chen, I'm not good enough, why do you only see her in your eyes?"
Murong Chen: "???"
Guo Han: "!!"
Huo Ka-shing: "..."
Lian Zhinian: "..."
[Congratulations to the host, immediately complete the specified line task, and get triple the life value reward. 】
【HP 379/3000】
Lian Xi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that speaking the specified lines to the main lord would actually be rewarded with three times the health value.
She asked the system, "Could this be a temporary increase?"
System: [Yes, in order to guide the host to complete the task of plot lines on time, it is necessary to take some incentive measures. 】
Oh, Lian Xicai can't be fooled by this broken system.
What is the use of the triple reward, and the total value has not increased.
If you have the ability to add this three times to the total life value, then I will confess my life to Murong Chen.
But that's it?
Just based on these six months of HP, I want to induce me to die at the age of 30 in my youth according to the predetermined outcome, and there is no way.
Do you really think I'm a wise girl, so foolish?
After being shocked, Murong Chen finally came back to his senses. He thought with both disgust and pride in his heart, "Well, sure enough, Lian Xi, this crazy woman, still loves me in her heart. She did such crazy things just to get my attention. .
But she can't think about it!
No matter how unprecedented she did, Murong Chen would never give her another look.
Yao Qianqian is his true love!
Murong Chenxie curled the corners of his mouth and said arrogantly, "You are not even better than Qianqian, not even a single finger of hers."
Yao Qianqian and Huo Qi who just walked to the stairs of the corridor on the second floor: "..."
Lian Binnian immediately shouted angrily, "Murong Chen, clean your mouth for me!"
Lian Xiyun lightly held her father down: "Dad, don't be angry, I was just kidding him, don't you think he looked like a second fool when he blushed and yelled."
"Pfft!" Guo Han, who watched the excitement for a long time, finally couldn't help laughing.
At the entrance of the stairs, Huo Qi looked at him for a while, then turned to Yao Qianqian and said, "I'll take you here, it's not convenient for me to go upstairs."
Huo Qi sneered in his heart, this woman swore a few days ago, saying, "You meet all my fantasies about my future partner, and I will show you my sincerity", but today she turned her head and confessed to Murong Chen.
Sure enough, you shouldn't believe her nonsense.
