Assuming that each volume has 100 chapters and each chapter has 2000 words, it only costs about yuan to read the whole volume, which is already very cheap. If you still don't let me put it on the shelf...
(From now on, if you send me a private message asking me not to put this up, I won’t reply)
Finally, thank you for your support
Chapter 70: Expected and Unexpected
Sometimes, the day seems so short. It is clearly daytime, but night falls in the blink of an eye.
The bright lights of the city have long covered the darkness of the night. The faintly visible crescent moon shines through the clouds, and the stars twinkle in the night. The layers of clouds overlap and intertwine with each other, just like the reflection of the sea and sky.
In a villa in the suburbs of Chundao City, the lights were bright at this time.
Melodious American music was playing in every corner, the air was filled with the faint aroma of food and wine, and the paths in and out were bustling with people coming and going.
The golden auditorium was decorated dazzlingly, and the round crystal chandeliers emitted warm orange light that illuminated the entire hall.
As the cups and glasses were clinking, each businessman had his own purpose. However, before the project partners selected by each of them appeared at the banquet, they naturally chatted and laughed politely with some familiar friends.
The door of the hall was slowly opened, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked in elegantly on the red carpet.
She was wearing a dark purple off-shoulder dress made of heavy lace with exquisite craftsmanship, her snow-white skin was exposed, the perfect curve of her back was perfectly outlined, her long jet-black hair cascaded down, her pair of charming phoenix eyes were as calm as water, and the rosy lips under her nose were like tender peaches. Although her expression was as cold as ice, it did not prevent this beauty from attracting the attention of most men in the audience.
"Xinmei, here you come."
A middle-aged man in his 40s came up to her with a female companion in his arms, exuding the aura of a successful person.
Matsudo Kawahara, the organizer of this cocktail party, is a well-known figure in Harushima City and also the benefactor who helped him break away from the left wing of the Guiyan family.
"Uncle Kawahara." Katsuragi Xinmei nodded slightly in response, with a polite smile on her face.
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big." Looking at the absolutely gorgeous girl in front of him, Matsutokawahara sighed in a trance, as if he saw the shadow of another person through her.
Gui Yanxin's beautiful eyelashes drooped, and she was calm and collected. She had already gotten used to the other person being absent-minded from time to time.
"Go take a look around by yourself. There are many young people of your generation here. You can go and talk to them. Uncle Kawahara, I will not accompany you."
Hearing his concern, the girl hummed, "Got it."
Matsudogawahara rubbed her head lovingly, then took his female companion and walked to other places to socialize with some business friends.
Gui Yanxinmei walked away on the red carpet with lotus steps, trying to find a more secluded corner to rest for a while.
"Miss." Sakuimura Mei came over and handed over a glass of orange juice.
She took it, took a sip, frowned, and put it on the beverage table she passed by.
"Do you need me to get another cup?" The attentive Sakuimura Mei noticed that the girl disliked the cup of juice.
"No need." While walking slowly, Gui Yanxinmei asked calmly, "Aunt Cunmei, what do those old men want?"
"Miss, the right-wing shareholders only ask you to stay at this cocktail party for an hour." Sakuimura Mei replied.
Although those old men were mean and cunning, they strongly supported the young lady's joining the right wing.
The Gui Yan family is seriously divided internally. The right wing wants to preserve its own strength and property while also wanting to get more resources from the left wing. Naturally, they are in urgent need of winning over an easy-to-control puppet who is good at business and has a status in the Gui Yan family.
The reason for letting the young lady attend the cocktail party is to help her gain a firmer foothold in the Guiyan family.
After all, not everyone can enter this grand cocktail party that is held once a year. The organizer of this cocktail party even personally talked to the young lady, which was undoubtedly announcing to the outside world that no matter whether Gui Yan Xinmei's real identity in Gui Yan's family was an adopted daughter, after this cocktail party, she was a socialite recognized by the upper class.
"Let's find a place to rest for a while. We'll leave in an hour."
The crystal chandeliers overhead shone in harmony, waiters were walking among the crowd carrying gift trays, men and women were dancing gracefully in pairs in the center, and businessmen were chatting happily with fake smiles on their faces.
Her brows were slightly furrowed. In fact, she didn't like this place at all.
Sitting on the sofa in a remote corner, Gui Yanxin rubbed her brows and closed her eyes, feeling a little headache because of the noisy environment around her.
The bustle and prosperity are just a layer of gorgeous decoration on the surface. Although it is clearly the center of the vortex of power, I have no intention of touching it again.
Really, it's a bit ironic.
"Good evening, Miss Guiyan."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded, Gui Yan Xinmei opened her eyes, and a young man in a white suit was sitting in front of her.
"Is something wrong?"
Picking up the fruit tea on the glass table, she shook the bottom slightly with her fingertips. Gui Yanxinmei spoke in a cold voice, not wanting to even look at the eldest young master of the Sakishima family.
"I just feel that it is a wonderful fate to meet Miss Gui Yan in this huge venue." The girl's coldness did not cause any fluctuation in Sakishima Yamada's kind expression.
Instead, he chuckled softly, his handsome face looking somewhat charming under the orange light, "Don't you think so, Miss Gui Yan?"
"I don't think so." Gui Yanxin glanced at him beautifully, and the contempt in her tone was not concealed at all, "Too greasy, Master Qidao, you can use this sentence to tease a little girl."
There was no embarrassment on Sakishima Yamada Toshihide's face. Instead, he leaned closer and looked at the girl affectionately, "Ms. Guiyan, aren't you my little girl?"
Gui Yanxinmei was not affected by such a shameless behavior, and her eyes remained calm. "It's a nice love story, but the person doesn't look that good, so it's a bit disgusting to hear."
Sakishima Yamada's gentle smile froze for a moment.
"Gui Yanxiao..." After adjusting his expression, he was about to speak and continue to find a topic, but he found that the girl had already stood up and left.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her slim back, his hands on the sofa gradually clenched into fists.
Stepping into the bustling crowd, Gui Yanxinmei's expression was indifferent. The red lights and wine in front of her had nothing to do with her. She was alone and stayed out of it.
The women's elegant and gorgeous postures and the reserved smiles on their faces seemed to have been measured. Everything seemed so fake.
The noise comes from outside, but the emptiness comes from within.
Compared to here, she still prefers to stay in that small but warm little house and watch the newly aired TV series. The handsome boy would open the snack bag with a doting yet helpless expression and patiently feed her one piece at a time.
That feeling is better than this...
Tu
Why, I remembered him again
Walking aimlessly among the crowd, Gui Yanxinmei was thinking in annoyance and confusion.
The white and charming legs bloomed with silent temptation under the dark purple skirt. She was immersed in her own world and she didn't know how many greedy and burning eyes were falling on her at this moment.
Finally, after a while, some men who were blinded by lust couldn't help but come out and strike up a conversation.
"I've heard a lot about you, Miss Gui Yan."
A handsome young man with a few of his followers blocked her way and greeted her in a rather evil way.
Her mind returned to reality. Looking at the wretched men in front of her who were looking at her unscrupulously, Gui Yanxinmei's face suddenly turned cold. "If you have something to say, please tell me."
"Tsk tsk, don't be so cold Miss Gui Yan, I just want to buy you a drink."
The young man's eyes lingered on the girl's plump breasts for a while, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move.
Gui Yanxinmei noticed his gaze, and the disgust in her eyes deepened, "Why, do you want to get me drunk?"
The tone of his voice was slightly raised, attracting the attention of those who were nearby. The young man couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "Well, I..."
"Ms. Gui Yan is not used to the smell of alcohol, please forgive me." At this time, Sakishima Yamada came over and stood between the two of them.
"If you don't mind, how about letting Gui Yanxinmei drink tea instead of wine?" As he said that, he handed the teacup in his hand to the girl, and leaned over to lower his voice, "Miss Gui Yan, we are all in the same circle, don't let this little thing make things awkward for us."
"Thank you for your concern, Master Qidao. I'm not so fragile that I can't even drink a glass of wine."
Moving to the left, putting some distance between herself and Sakishima Yamada, Gui Yan Xinmei glanced coldly at the man whose face was full of hypocrisy.
——The obscenity in your eyes is so obvious that you don't know how to restrain it. Do you really think I don't know what's in this cup of tea?
She took the red wine that the handsome man handed to her in mid-air and drank it all in one gulp.
"Now, can I go?"
With her eyes lowered, her voice became a little hoarse from drinking too much wine, and her face became too pale because of the light, making her look like an evil female ghost from the underworld.
The handsome man rubbed his arms, feeling a little chilly, and quickly nodded to make way, "Sure, sure, of course."
Gui Yanxinmei had an expressionless face. She walked straight past them and sat down in a secluded corner.
Sakishima Yamada, who was ignored from beginning to end, did not show any annoyance. He looked at the girl who was resting on the sofa, and the corners of his mouth raised. That smile was a little strange and excited.
...
"Is that Gui Yanxinmei? She is really as beautiful as the rumors say."
"Oh, she looks like a slut, and she has slept with many men behind her back."
"What, no way..."
"How could she not? Otherwise, how could she squeeze into our level with her lowly status as an adopted daughter? It's all because of her obscene body."
“That’s true.”
"gross."
"..."
She lay on the sofa with her eyes closed, ignoring the jealous looks and malicious comments around her.
Calm as water, without any waves.
She had encountered these things countless times before, and experiencing them again now was nothing more than a drizzle.
Now, just sit here for an hour.
As long as I can hold on until the end of the hour, I can leave this false and dirty gathering place of desire, and go home to be with that...
Gui Yanxinmei suddenly opened her eyes and was sitting there, feeling an inexplicable heat rising in her body.
She stretched out her hand and pressed her temple, her eyebrows furrowed.
She seems to have been drugged...
Chapter 71: Drunken Beauty
The lively cocktail party is still going on
The villa is very big. The businessman who successfully found a partner is talking freely with the target. Some people can't help but go to various remote places to "make out" with the young model.
Gui Yanxinmei sat quietly on the sofa, her face already flushed with an intoxicating blush, her body felt hot and restless, and she felt that time was passing slower and slower.
"Miss, an hour has passed."
At this moment, the voice of Shui Murami sounded in my ears.
At this moment, she even felt that the other party's reminder was like the sound of nature.
"Aunt Murami, take me away from here." She stood up, gently leaned her head on the woman's shoulder, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I've been drugged."
Jiui Murami's expression suddenly changed.
He reached out and pulled the girl aside to check, and found that her face was flushed, her eyes were blurry, and she seemed a little unconscious.
"Miss, I'll take you away right now." She quickly calmed down, supported the girl, and walked out the door with an unchanged expression.
"Ms. Gui Yan?"
Sakishima Yamada, holding a goblet, turned around and looked over, blocking them by coincidence. "What's going on?"
"My young lady is a little drunk and needs to go back to rest. Please, Master Sakijima, please make way for her." Sakuimura Mei nodded politely, her tone calm.
"Do you need my driver to drive you there? After all, it's getting late and this is in the suburbs, so the road is very bumpy." Sakishima Yamada suggested with concern, then turned around and called his butler, "Uncle Tobiye, go get..."
"No, thank you for your kindness, Master Sakishima." Jiui Murami interrupted, "I can send the lady off by myself."
"Don't be polite. After all, our families are old friends." Sakishima Yamada's voice was gentle, and he still looked caring and kind.
He glanced imperceptibly at the stunning beauty being supported by Sakui Murami.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her usually bright eyes were now hazy and vague, as if she was a captivating fox, showing her charming charm, and her seductive cherry lips were slightly open, with a hint of drunkenness.
Sakishima Yamada's breathing became heavier, and a fire involuntarily surged in his body.
——He must get this beauty tonight!
