Chapter 674 Anniversary Banquet

When returning to the hotel, Ye Jintang was still wearing the Heart of the Ocean around her neck. She liked it so much that she was reluctant to take it off.

"Jintang, do you want to try on a dress?"

Seeing that Ye Jintang liked the Heart of the Ocean so much, Zhou Wuyou couldn't help but give some advice.

"How could I forget this? I have a lot of clothes that can match the Heart of the Ocean."

At that moment, Ye Jintang was like a butterfly, constantly changing into various beautiful dresses.

She found that the Heart of the Ocean is really versatile, and any dress will be elevated to a higher level when paired with it.

"Your appearance tomorrow night will definitely cause a sensation, Jintang, why don't you not go."

Zhou Wuyou looked at Ye Jintang very seriously. He was a little worried that she, who was rich and beautiful, would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Ye Jintang saw all of Zhou Wuyou's worries.

She smiled and touched the Heart of the Ocean on her neck, and said gently, "Don't worry about me. If anyone wants to die, just come over. I will definitely make their wish come true."

"But I'm still worried. Jintang, you're just too dazzling. Sometimes I really want to hide you and not let anyone see you."

"Then you're going too far."

Ye Jintang put away the faint smile on his face and took off the Heart of the Ocean from his neck.

"Wuyou, there is something I haven't told you yet. I already have someone I like. Although he is not with me now, I am thinking about him all the time in my heart."

Ye Jintang's words made Zhou Wuyou stunned on the spot, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a long while, he said with a slightly difficult voice, "Jintang, if you want to reject me, just reject me directly. There's no need to make up such an outrageous reason."

Zhou Wuyou had already investigated Ye Jintang in detail. Her background was very clean and she had no love history at all.

Of course, he also found out that Ye Jintang's family was just an ordinary family. As for where those priceless jewels came from, he had no idea.

For a moment, Zhou Wuyou couldn't see the girl in front of him clearly.

"I didn't make up any excuses. I really have someone I like, and most of the jewelry was given to me by him."

Ye Jintang did not lie to Zhou Wuyou. Most of the jewelry in her space were bought for her by Xiao Mo.

But when Zhou Wuyou heard these words, they changed their meaning. He just thought that the person Ye Jintang liked had a noble background, otherwise he would not have been able to find any information about him.

"I understand. If we can't be lovers, we can still be friends."

Zhou Wuyou raised his eyebrows slightly and chose to retreat in order to advance. If the person Ye Jintang likes cannot marry her because of her status, sooner or later he will be able to wait for her.

"Of course, we are still friends."

Ye Jintang thought that he had explained everything clearly to Zhou Wuyou, but he didn't know that Zhou Wuyou was not someone who would give up easily.

"You are going to attend the Xiao Group's anniversary party tomorrow night. Do you have a male companion?"

"No, I went alone."

"Then can I be your male companion?"

"Oh?"

Ye Jintang looked at Zhou Wuyou with interest. None of the people who could attend the banquet were ordinary.

The impression Zhou Wuyou gave her was that of a jewelry appraiser. Could it be that he had another identity?

"Don't look at me like that. Let me introduce myself again. I'm Zhou Wuyou, the youngest son of the Zhou family in Beijing. I'm also the director of Zhou's jewelry design department. I occasionally help auction houses identify jewelry."

Ye Jintang looked up at the sky in silence. She said that if she was an ordinary jewelry appraiser, how could she know the top gem cutting master.

"You're really tight-lipped."

"Then will you still be my female companion?" Zhou Wuyou looked at Ye Jintang pitifully. If she dared to refuse, he would immediately act like a rogue in front of her.

"Of course, being Mr. Zhou's female companion is very prestigious."

On the second night, Xiao Mo originally wanted to pick up Ye Jintang to go to the banquet together, but then he thought better of it. His current identity was rather special and it would be easy for him to get into trouble. He decided to wait until everything was settled before doing so.

But he didn't completely ignore her.

He sent a car over, but it was too late and Ye Jintang got into Zhou Wuyou's car.

Xiao Mo was so jealous when he received the news. Could it be that the person Ye Jintang said he liked was Zhou Wuyou?

He felt that with Ye Jintang's personality, he would not like a pretty boy.

Forcing down the doubts in his heart, Xiao Mo got into the car with Yin Manqing.

The Xiao Group’s anniversary banquet was very lively, and those who could attend were all well-known figures in Beijing.

In the lounge, Yuan Shuyi was wearing a bright red dress embroidered with a phoenix, and Xiao Yuan next to her was also wearing festive red. If you didn't know, you would think they were getting married today.

"Brother Yuan, why don't you sit in a wheelchair when you go on stage to give a speech? I've seen such a long script and it will take at least five minutes to read."

Yuan Shuyi looked at Xiao Yuan sitting in the wheelchair with some concern. His health had been deteriorating in recent times and he would be very tired if he stood for a long time.

"That's so embarrassing. Today is the 40th anniversary banquet of our Xiao Group. As the chairman, I naturally have to speak on stage in a decent manner."

Xiao Yuan patted Yuan Shuyi's hand and said, "Shuyi, I know you are worried about me, but with you by my side in a while, I will go on stage even if I have to endure it."

"Today, in front of everyone, I will let Chengxi join the board of directors and give him 2% of the Xiao Group's shares that I have."

Yuan Shuyi's eyes were red with excitement. She had endured for more than 30 years for this day and finally it came true.

As long as Xiao Chengxi enters the board of directors, he will have a say in the Xiao family in the future.

When the day comes to fight for the family property, he will also be able to fight for more property for both mother and son.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Yuan Shuyi's eyes were red as she looked at Xiao Yuan affectionately.

"I should be the one to thank you. For so many years, I have always owed you a status, but I have been unable to give it to you. This is an irreparable regret in my heart. I can only compensate you and Chengxi in other ways."

Xiao Yuan was very considerate and helped Yuan Shuyi wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. In his opinion, Yuan Shuyi had followed him since she was a teenager and had been devoted to him for so many years. He really owed her too much.

But he didn't expect that while he was falling in love with Yuan Shuyi, he already had a wife waiting for him at home.

The two talked in the lounge for a while, and soon someone came to invite them to the banquet.

Xiao Yuan, supported by Yuan Shuyi and Xiao Chengxi, slowly walked towards the stage. As the chairman of the Xiao Group, he was going to say a few words today.

In the banquet hall, everyone saw Yuan Shuyi and Xiao Chengxi appear next to Xiao Yuan, and vaguely guessed that something major might happen to the Xiao family today.

In the past, Xiao Chengxi often appeared beside Xiao Yuan, but they were all for some unimportant events. This was the first time he appeared at an important event like today.

It seems that from today on, Xiao Chengxi's importance in the Xiao family will be redefined.
