Chapter 17: Innocent Young Master vs. Gold-Worshipping Dream Girl 17
Sheng Wenwen snorted coldly, glared at her and walked out. When she saw the hem of her skirt hanging on the ground, she was about to step on it.
Xia Tian had been staring at her for a long time, and quickly pulled up the hem of her skirt before she landed. Her high heels hit the ground with a loud noise.
Everyone turned to look at her. Xia Tian glanced at her and murmured, "Miss, please pay attention to your image in public places, otherwise the Sheng family will dislike you."
Mika had been keeping an eye on Xia Tian, and seeing a side of her that was completely different from her usual serious image, he lowered his eyes and smiled.
"It's time for us to go," he reminded.
Sheng Wenwen glanced at Mika and said in a sarcastic tone in English: "This is a hypocritical woman who is a money swindler, and you are now being taken advantage of. I suggest you get rid of this shameless woman as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Mika frowned and said angrily: "Please be respectful. She is not the woman you are talking about."
Xia Tian had already finished, and immediately pulled Mika's arm and said casually: "Don't say much to her, she doesn't understand human language, but you will soon know who she is."
Mika still didn't quite understand, and Xia Tian was too lazy to explain any more. When they got to the party, only the most embarrassed person would know.
The dinner started at seven o'clock, and Xia Tian and Mika arrived ten minutes early.
As soon as they got off the car, a bodyguard from the Sheng family came to lead the way for them. Xia Tian looked around the scene. The banquet was held in a six-star hotel owned by the Sheng family, so everything looked very luxurious.
She thought that Jiang Qi should have gotten used to this luxurious life.
Mika paused for a moment, and Xia Tian looked sideways. He was raising his arm, motioning for her to hold it.
She smiled slightly and naturally put her fair and translucent arm over him.
The second floor of the hotel.
"Boss, Mr. Mika has checked into the hotel." Assistant Feng, who was wearing a suit, said respectfully.
He looked up at the man half-leaning against the window. He was wearing a well-dressed black suit. Because he was sitting, the two buttons on his chest were unbuttoned. The wrinkles around his waist made him look less serious.
But his expressionless face made people feel afraid to approach him. The fingertips of one of his hands gently held a milky white cigarette pipe, and the other hand was casually placed on the armrest of the sofa. On one of his fingers, he wore a silver-white ring that did not match his image at all.
Hearing his words, the man opened his lips slightly and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke.
"Translation please?"
"Mr. Mika said that's not necessary. He brought an interpreter with him and will bring him along with the dinner."
"Ah."
He turned his head slightly, intending to put out the cigarette, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted to a smiling face below the floor-length window.
She was completely different from the girl who was late all day at the age of eighteen. Her naturally noble temperament seemed as if she had grown up in luxury. However, her family was obviously a mess, so bad that even he at the time felt pity for her.
It was precisely because of this pitiful thing that he later gave her his whole heart.
The man next to her looked more like a nobleman from some European royal family. The two of them standing together were simply a perfect match.
Do you like your current life so much?
His fingertips slowly tightened, the hot cigarette butt was crushed by him, and the gradually crimson corners of his eyes revealed his emotions.
He retracted his gaze, slowly stood up, and told Assistant Feng: "Prepare a glass of strong liquor."
Assistant Feng looked at him blankly: Didn’t you say you would never drink again?
"Yes."
Mika is not well-known in China, so everyone just nodded and smiled politely, and no one took the initiative to talk to him.
Xia Tian was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, so she took him to the reception room nearby to rest.
Mika held her arm and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter. The companies that came here today are all relatively large companies in your country. I need this opportunity to meet them. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Xia Tian nodded. She respected his choice.
A waiter holding champagne was walking among the crowd. Just as Xia Tian was about to raise his hand to call someone, someone suddenly jumped out from beside him.
"Hello. Would you like some champagne?"
Mika nodded, and Xia Tian smiled and said, "One glass of champagne and one glass of water, thank you."
The waiter smiled warmly and left.
In less than a minute, the waiter came over with the plate.
Mika picked up one of the cups, and the waiter quickly stepped back and said awkwardly, "This cup is for Miss Xia."
Xia Tian's eyes tightened, and Mika looked at her with confusion.
She glanced at the waiter, and finally picked up a cup next to her and handed it to him: "This cup is yours."
Mika took it with a smile: "Thank you."
Xia Tian placed her fingertips on the glass of water designated for her again. Her eyes moved slightly, scanning the crowd, and finally fixed on the familiar face of a person standing by the fence above.
He held the same wine glass, leaning lazily, his eyes fixed on her face, burning like a raging fire, making people feel uneasy.
Seeing that she finally looked at him, his breath was choked, and his trembling fingertips almost crushed the glass of wine. Finally, he raised the corner of his mouth and handed the glass to her.
System: Favorability -20~
Damn, if we lose more, we’ll be back to the days before liberation overnight!
Xia Tian blinked slowly, then finally withdrew his hand and looked away.
Don't panic, stay calm, he is not the elementary school kid anymore, you have to change your strategy.
The waiter looked at her awkwardly: "Miss Xia, this cup is for you."
Xia Tian pursed his lips and said seriously: "I don't want to drink now, is that okay?"
"Hey, please don't embarrass me..."
She sneered: "So you're here to embarrass me? Don't you know what's in it?"
The waiter lowered his head and apologized but didn't leave.
Mika frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xia Tian forced a smile and said, "It's okay, he sent it to the wrong place."
As soon as she finished speaking, an oppressive figure walked towards her.
"Miss Xia, if you are so defensive, why did you come here? Don't tell me you don't know where this place is."
Xia Tian sighed to herself, tilted her head slightly, and was forced to meet his gaze.
In the past, he had always looked at her with gentleness, love, and possession. But now, apart from the glaring smile of revenge, there was almost nothing else to be seen.
Suddenly she thought of a line of lyrics: Who can a heart that has been hurt still love?
Mika sensed her discomfort and stepped forward to stand in front of her.
"What's your question for my translator?"
Jiang Qi's expression changed slightly, but he still remained calm.
He still turned his head to stare at her, and curled his lips: "Isn't Miss Xia a translator? How come you don't have any professional qualities?"
Xia Tian gave him a light glare. The little brat really holds a grudge.
"Mr. Mika, this is Jiang..." She paused, looked at Jiang Qi, and tried again: "I wonder what I should call you now?"
Jiang Qi raised the corner of his mouth, "Whatever, Jiang Qi, cousin, or boyfriend, which one do you like, Miss Xia?"
Xia Tian ignored him and turned to Mika and said, "He is Chairman Sheng's son. You can call him Jiang Qi."
Jiang Qi kept his eyes on her, not taking his eyes off her.
She then turned to Jiang Qi and introduced him: "This is Mr. Mika, Sheng Wenwen's second party."
Mika's pupils suddenly sank, and he looked at him in surprise: "Are you Jiang Qi?"
Jiang Qi smiled slightly and extended his hand to him: "Hello, Mr. Mika."
Although Mika was a little curious, he still shook hands with him.
