Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 60 I’m not interested in other people’s fiancés
Sang Yu quickly denied: "He is not my boyfriend."

The clerk apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I just thought you two were a good match."

Because couples usually come to the store to choose dresses in pairs, so she made the first impression.

Sang Yu didn't take it to heart. Fortunately, Huo Qiting wasn't here, so it wasn't so embarrassing.

After finishing his makeup and going out, Sang Yu went to the rest area to find Huo Qiting and said proactively: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, for keeping you waiting for me for so long."

Huo Qiting put down the magazine in his hand and looked up. The light in the depths of his pupils shone brightly, and he said in a gentle voice: "You accompany me to the dinner. It's right for me to wait for you."

After finishing speaking, he praised without hesitation: "You really suit white, very beautiful."

The corners of Sang Yu's lips raised slightly, "Thank you."

The charity dinner will be held on the second floor of the International Financial Center.

Luxury cars gathered outside the venue, and celebrities gathered.

Huo Qiting got out of the car first and walked around to Sang Yu to open the door for her. The gentleman stretched out his hand and said, "Be careful."

"Thank you." Sang Yu helped his hand get out of the car and entered the room holding his arm.

The banquet hall was elegantly and grandly decorated, and the music accompaniment was soothing and melodious.

The guests who came gathered in small groups and talked. The men were in suits and leather shoes, and the women were well-dressed and well-dressed.

As soon as Huo Qiting arrived, a friend came over to say hello. Seeing a face beside him, he asked, "Who is this?"

"My friend Sang Yu is also a designer at Chujin Studio."

The man was impressed when he heard the name, "Hello Miss Sang, I remember seeing your video. I thought you were pretty enough in the video, but it turns out I am even worse."

Sang Yu smiled and responded politely: "Thank you."

After the greetings, Huo Qiting took Sang Yu to sit on the sofa and asked her if she wanted to eat something.

Sang Yu said he wasn't hungry and ate a pastry while doing makeup in the store.

Huo Qiting took a glass of orange juice from the passing waiter and handed it to her, "How about some juice?"

Sang Yu took it and thanked him.

At the door, two girls in gorgeous evening gowns walked in hand in hand. They had exquisite makeup and were luxurious from head to toe. They exuded an aura of arrogance, as if they were noble ladies.

An Jiayi asked the sister next to her, "Mingzhu, will Mr. Xi come today?"

Ji Mingzhu shook her head, "I don't know if he has time."

If she didn't want to try her luck, she wouldn't come to such a boring charity dinner.

In the past few months, she had not even seen Xi Jinbai a few times. He was either busy with work in the company or on business trips abroad, giving her no chance to get close to him at all.

The Xi family has been doing charity work for many years, so there is a high probability that they will attend such occasions.

Ji Mingzhu looked around and didn't see Xi Jinbai.

An Jiayi suddenly pulled her hand and pointed it out to her, "Mingzhu, look, isn't that the woman who was hugged by Mr. Xi last time? Why did she get together with Mr. Huo from Junting Investment again? Already?"

Ji Mingzhu looked in the direction she pointed and saw Sang Yu holding a gentle man on his arm, chatting and laughing with two bosses.

She immediately took out her phone and took a few photos calmly.

An Jiayi was still complaining: "This kind of woman is very showy at first glance, and she is trying to seduce people just because she is pretty. Men like this kind of seemingly pure and innocent woman, and she might be pointing out Duo Menglang behind her back."

Ji Mingzhu clenched the phone in her hand and whispered: "She is indeed beautiful and can easily make men feel bad."

An Jiayi knows it well, "I accidentally touched her last time, and she fell to the ground and touched the porcelain. As a result, Mr. Xi really felt distressed! This green tea little white lotus is really disgusting!"

Ji Mingzhu opened WeChat and sent a message to Jiang Tang, [Jiang Tang, won’t you come to the IFC Charity Dinner tonight? 】

Jiang Tang: [I have something to do tonight, and Xi Jinbai will go there. 】

Ji Mingzhu: [But I didn’t see him. 】

Jiang Tang: [I guess I was delayed by work, so I will definitely arrive later. 】

Ji Mingzhu pretended to mention it accidentally: [I saw Sang Yu at the dinner party. It felt like a coincidence. 】

Jiang Tang: [Sang Yu? She also went to the charity dinner? 】

Ji Mingzhu took the opportunity to send her a photo, [I don’t know if the guy next to her is her friend or boyfriend, he looks like a good match. 】

Due to the angle of the photo, Sang Yu and Huo Qiting smiled at each other in the photo, holding their wrists and interacting sweetly.

Jiang Tang didn't reply to her.

Ji Mingzhu put away her phone. Anyway, her goal was achieved. She just wanted to let the Xi family know that Sang Yu was not that innocent. There were many men around her. She had an affair with a male singer a few days ago, and today she was behaving with another man. Participate in a banquet intimately.
-
Just now, Huo Qiting took Sang Yu to meet the presidents of two textile companies. They had a pleasant chat and said that they could cooperate if there was an opportunity later.

This trip was not in vain.

Huo Qiting could tell that Sang Yu didn't like this kind of social situation, and considering that she was uncomfortable standing in high heels for a long time, he said to her: "I'll go over and have a chat with an uncle of mine. If you feel tired, just sit over there and take a rest." , I’ll come back as soon as I go.”

Sang Yu nodded, "Okay."

Although the heels of the shoes were not high, they were just right for her leg injury, and it did hurt a little after standing for a long time.

Huo Qiting walked to the drinking area, while Sang Yu found a sofa by the window to sit down and rest for a while. Outside the window was the night view of the street with flashing neon lights.

"Sang Yu." Suddenly someone called her.

Sang Yu frowned when he heard the voice, then let go and turned around to say hello as if nothing had happened, "Miss Ji."

Her voice was neither cold nor cool, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not in the mood for small talk.

But Ji Mingzhu still sat down directly opposite her, "What a coincidence, we are quite destined."

Sang Yu pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't want to get involved in this fate at all.

Ji Mingzhu took the initiative to stir up the topic again: "Is that your boyfriend just now?"

Although Sang Yu didn't want to talk to her, he couldn't do anything like ignoring people directly, "No, just ordinary friends."

Ji Mingzhu then asked: "Do you have anyone you like?"

Hearing this, Sang Yu was displeased. She was disgusted with unfamiliar people asking her about such personal topics, so she refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Ji, this is my private matter."

Ji Mingzhu stopped pretending and spoke directly: "If the person you like is my fiancé, it seems that it is not your private matter alone."

Sang Yu was startled, and tightened his hand holding the cup, "Why did Miss Ji say this? I rarely come to Su City, and I have no contact with Mr. Xi in private at all."

"Are you sure there is no contact? My friend said that he saw him hugging you in the hotel a few days ago." Ji Mingzhu mocked her hypocrisy in her heart. In order to prevent her from denying her credit, she directly pulled out the photos on her phone and pushed them in front of her, "The ones in the photos Isn't that you? I may be more straightforward in my speech. The marriage between Xi Jinbai and I was approved by our parents. Even if he doesn't want to get married now, we will get married sooner or later. What's the difference between your behavior and that of a mistress? "

Sang Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his fingertips turned white when pinched, and every joint ached.

After a moment, she moved her lips and said solemnly: "Miss Ji, you also said he was the one who hugged me. I told him more than once to let me down. You should go find your fiancé instead of embarrassing me here. Also, I have never taken the initiative to contact him, and I will never contact him in the future. Please rest assured that I am not interested in other people’s fiancés."

"That's best. I hope you will keep your word and don't say one thing and do another. After all, it is really bad for a girl's reputation if such things spread." After Ji Mingzhu finished speaking, he stood up and left, stepping on her high heels. The sounds on the floor faded away.

Sang Yu was stunned for several minutes.

Until Huo Qiting came back and saw that her face was not very good, he asked with concern: "Sang Yu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Sang Yu suddenly came back to his senses, "No, I was a little distracted thinking about something just now."

Huo Qiting glanced in the direction of the infield and said, "The auction is about to start. Let's go in and take a look?"

"Okay." Sang Yu stroked the hem of his skirt and stood up.

After walking a few steps, I saw a group of people in front of me surrounded by a noble and tall figure, all with polite words or flattery on their lips.

"Mr. Xi, long time no see. Please come inside."

"Mr. Xi, can you please consider the new energy project we talked about last time..."

"Mr. Xi, do you have time later? Can you take a few minutes..."

Xi Jinbai frowned slightly. Cheng Xiang understood and quickly stopped: "Sorry, we are here to participate in a charity event. We won't talk about work today."

Sang Yu paused for two seconds, and Huo Qiting asked carefully: "What's wrong? Are your legs feeling uncomfortable?"

She shook her head slowly, "It's okay, let's go in."

Huo Qiting reminded: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will take you back. You can attend the meeting after the filming or not."

"Ah."

Xi Jinbai vaguely heard a familiar voice, and turned his eyes away. A white and slim figure came into view. The dress covered the undulating figure. Although he was thin, his bones were well-proportioned, and he had flesh where he should.

She was talking to the man next to her.

Sang Yu didn't look at Xi Jinbai, but took Huo Qiting's arm and passed by.

The gaze that fell on her was dark and cold, like an abyss under the sea with turbulent waves.

The surrounding air pressure dropped sharply.

Everyone else noticed something was wrong and thought that something had made Mr. Xi unhappy, so they all kept silent.

As soon as Ji Mingzhu saw Xi Jinbai, she immediately came over to say hello, "Jin Bai, you're here."

However, Xi Jinbai ignored her and walked towards the auction venue.

Tuliu Ji Mingzhu stood there with a pale face.

The charity auction starts at eight o'clock.

Sang Yu followed Huo Qiting and took his seat.

They were positioned near the front and could clearly see the auction items displayed on the stage.

But who would have thought that Xi Jinbai would be sitting right in front of them.

Less than a meter apart.

There is an album on each table with a detailed introduction to the auction items.

Huo Qiting handed it to Sang Yu, "Let's see if you like it. Take a photo and play with it. You can also do charity. Kill two birds with one stone."

Sang Yu flipped through the booklet. It was probably because of the charity auction, so the price was not particularly high.

She took a fancy to a small ceramic doll ornament and said, "This is so cute."

Huo Qiting chuckled, "So you like this."
