Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 85 Unexpected Reunion

The singing gradually became ethereal, and the audience was silent, and everyone was attracted by the beautiful and clean singing.The violin played the final coda of the music, the singer stood quietly, and the lingering sounds in the hall lingered like threads, as if floating into people's hearts without sound.The singer bowed his head to thank the audience with a smile on his face, and then slowly turned and left.The curtain was slowly closed again, the audience applauded thunderously, all the lights were turned on again, and the guests came and went to withdraw their minds, admiring the performance just now.

Duan Zhenzhen applauded happily, but Ye Zijin disappeared beside her.The guests continued to walk around again, Duan Zhenzhen looked around, but did not see Ye Zijin.

At this time, the drummer beat a few times, attracting everyone's attention to the stage again, only to hear the master of ceremonies announce the speech by Mr. Dong Baier, the chairman of the board of directors, and then the medal awarding ceremony.

Ye Zijin had already hurried around behind the stage at this moment, seeing Zhao Zhimei was surrounded by several people walking towards the side door, she hurriedly chased after them, stopped in front of the group of people, and shouted: "Zhimei, is that you?"

After the stage, Zhao Zhimei wore a white silk satin shawl with long tassels hanging underneath, which swayed when she walked.Her lips were like delicate roses, and she was not surprised when she saw Ye Zijin standing in front of her, but rather impatiently smoothed a strand of curly hair at her ear temples, and said nothing.

The woman who stood beside Zhao Zhimei and helped her with her coat shouted, "Who are you? How dare you block Miss Qiangwei's way."

Ye Zijin only looked at Zhao Zhimei, breathed a little fast, and said, "Zhimei, I'm Zijin, why are you here? Where have you been for the past two years? You..."

Before she finished speaking, a man came out and pushed her aside, and said in an annoyed tone: "This is Miss Qiangwei, I think you have misunderstood the person, you probably want to come here to ask for an autograph, hurry up, hurry up, Miss Qiangwei doesn't want to sign the autograph today."

"Zhimei, I know it's you! Why didn't you answer me?" Ye Zijin was a little anxious.

The man standing in front of Ye Zijin saw that she still didn't give up and kept calling Zhimei, he was a little puzzled, he turned his head and asked the owner behind, "Miss Qiangwei, do you know her?"

The woman standing in the middle was full of demeanor, she only raised her eyelids quietly to take a look, and said lightly: "I don't know her."

Ye Zijin froze on the spot, the man pushed her, and the group walked out the door arrogantly, Ye Zijin watched Zhao Zhimei get into a car, and the moment she opened the door, she clearly saw that there were still people in the car. A well-dressed man sat.

She knew that she did not admit her mistake, but she couldn't figure out why Zhimei pretended not to know her.Ye Zijin returned to the hall in a daze. At this time, the director of the board of directors was presenting a silver medal to Duan Lipeng. Duan Lipeng shook hands with Mr. Baier solemnly. After wearing the round silver medal, his face could not be hidden. Joy, grinning, faced the reporters frantically snapping.Meng Haoxiang stood at the front and took the lead in applauding.Duan Lipeng became the focus of attention for a while, and was surrounded by a group of people to congratulate and congratulate him after he left the stage after awarding the medal.

Ye Zijin searched for Duan Zhenzhen in the crowd, but at this moment the lights suddenly dimmed again, the band played gorgeous dance music, and the men on the field stepped onto the dance floor with their female partners.The lights in the hall changed for a moment, dancing shadows danced, Ye Zijin couldn't see who was coming, so he had to stand in a corner and watch, but he was still thinking about what happened to Zhao Zhimei just now.

"Miss Ye, long time no see, can I ask you to dance?" A deep voice sounded beside Ye Zijin.

Ye Zijin was startled, and only then came to her senses, she didn't know when Meng Haoxiang came to her side.She felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but she tried her best to maintain a calm face, and politely refused: "I'm sorry, Boss Meng, I can't dance."

Meng Haoxiang smiled, and there was a hint of excitement in his handsome eyebrows: "It's been two years, and you still can't dance? Since you want to expand the business of Shen Ji Huafu, you must learn this dance."

Ye Zijin smiled and laughed at himself: "I'm not very flexible, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it. Boss Meng, you should find your female partner to enjoy this dancing time."

"If you don't try, you won't know how to learn." Meng Haoxiang said, suddenly he took her to the front, took her by the hand and stepped into the brightly lit dance floor.

"Boss Meng... this... I really can't learn..." Ye Zijin was a little annoyed, but there were many people on the dance floor, so it seemed awkward for her to stand there awkwardly.

Meng Haoxiang took her slender waist, put one of her hands in his palm, and said, "That's it, it's actually very simple, you just need to follow my steps."

Ye Zijin groaned secretly, but being dragged here, with so many people around watching, she was not too embarrassed to escape in embarrassment for a while.She hadn't seen him for a long time, and she felt that Meng Haoxiang seemed to have restrained a little bit of the majesty and domineering in front of her, and he was very patient with a clumsy dancer like her.

Originally, Ye Zijin was a little resistant to this kind of intimate dance at first, so her movements and steps became stiff and unnatural.Seeing her staring at the ground, Meng Haoxiang said with a smile: "There is no gold on the ground. What do you look at? The more you look at the dance, the easier it is for your feet to be chaotic. You just follow the music and my steps."

"Oh..." Ye Zijin's face was hot, and even his palms were sweating.She didn't dare to look into Meng Haoxiang's eyes, but secretly watched the steps under her feet, her heart beating non-stop.She accidentally stepped on Meng Haoxiang's foot a few times, and she was so panicked that she wanted to quit, but was held firmly in Meng Haoxiang's arms.

Meng Haoxiang looked at her like this, and thought it was a little funny. It had been two years, he thought she would become smooth and smooth after staying in the business field for a long time, and maybe she would flirt with men in order to achieve her goals, but he didn't expect Ye Zijin to be like him Under the offensive, he looked embarrassed.Her fingers were cold, and he could see she was nervous from the look in her eyes.Meng Haoxiang just wanted to test whether she had changed in the past two years, but she did not expect that she would show her originality after a little trick. She is still the same beautiful woman as a narcissus, with a clear mind, kind and strong.It was the first time he had been with her so close for such a long time, seeing her pink cheeks and dodging eyes, Meng Haoxiang felt a tinge of relief and satisfaction in his heart.

Mi Li's music lingered in her ears, Ye Zijin's body gradually relaxed, seeing everyone dancing like this, the sense of resistance in her heart became less serious.I just feel a little feeling in my steps, and I don't feel as stiff and clumsy as I used to be when I advance and retreat.Meng Haoxiang was a lot taller than her, and she had to wear high heels to reach his neck. When she inadvertently stepped on Meng Haoxiang's leather shoes again, the two staggered close to each other, and Ye Zijin looked up apologetically with a blushing face. He glanced at him, and he also stared at her. He just raised the corners of his lips and comforted: "It's okay, you have made great progress, but I didn't expect you to have a pair of skillful hands, but not a pair of flexible legs."

Ye Zijin didn't know how to answer, so she had to turn her face away and stop looking at him.The two gradually slid from the edge of the dance floor to the center of the dance floor. Ye Zijin felt the warmth of her palms, as if a heat was continuously flowing into her cold and stiff body, and warmth oozes from her heart.From time to time, she sneaked a look at Meng Haoxiang, only to feel that although this man's gaze was as deep and deep as it was two years ago, she seemed to no longer find him so inaccessible, and his words were a little more humorous.Seeing that she was looking at him, Meng Haoxiang looked at her very frankly. When his eyes met, Ye Zijin was slightly fascinated. He only felt that the colorful lights turned into pieces of streamer, flying and spinning, and the figures around him were also fascinated. Gradually blurred, on Nuo Da's dance floor, it seemed that there were only him and her...

Ye Zijin didn't know if she was bewildered by shouting like this, but the light and shadow at this moment, everything was so beautiful that it was unreal, the music and laughter were scattered behind her, and she felt very peaceful in his arms.

Gradually, the two of them stopped talking.The light flickered and blurred, illuminating her slender neck and crisp snow-covered skin. The silver-white cheongsam that Ye Zijin was wearing today was even more beautiful and refined under the colorful lights.But Meng Haoxiang's eyes inadvertently stayed on the string of pearl necklace she was wearing.

After a long time, Meng Haoxiang's voice sounded close to Ye Zijin's ear, "How have you been these two years? How is the business of the shop?"

Ye Zijin was slightly taken aback, staring blankly at the overlapping figures in the distance, and said softly, "Everything is fine."

Knowing that she wouldn't tell the truth, Meng Haoxiang smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Since they are all very good, I can't bear to buy some new jewelry for myself. Fortunately, I was generous back then. You hold the necklace of the scene."

After being told by Meng Haoxiang, Ye Zijin realized that she was wearing that special pearl necklace today.In fact, she didn't want to wear this necklace on purpose, but because she was in a hurry to go out at that time, she picked up a pearl necklace that matched well with the cheongsam at random, and for a moment she forgot that it was a gift from Meng Haoxiang two years ago.Now being caught by him and ridiculed, Ye Zijin felt regretful and ashamed.

Fortunately, Meng Haoxiang didn't continue to make things difficult for her, but said calmly: "It seems that I have a good eye, and this necklace is the most suitable for you."

Just as Ye Zijin was thinking about how to face Meng Haoxiang, he suddenly heard a moderate howl behind him.Ye Zijin turned her head to the side, and saw Qian Jiang bent down and rubbed the shoe a few times with a painful face, and Duan Zhenzhen was still standing beside him.

Because the lights were dim, the two of them hadn't spotted her and Meng Haoxiang yet.

I only heard Qian Jiang complaining: "I said Miss Duan, can you put some kindness on your feet? If you step on it again, my feet will probably be useless."

Duan Zhenzhen clasped her arms around her chest and said without showing any weakness: "Fatty man, you are obviously clumsy, but you blame me instead. This lady is willing to show you the face and dance with you. It is already a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life. Hurry up and continue." .”

Qian Jiang muttered a few words and then adjusted back to the dancing posture with Duan Zhenzhen. Ye Zijin saw Qian Jiang's miserable state for the first time, and felt both funny and sympathetic.

Meng Haoxiang took Ye Zijin around the two of them to the other side, and said with a smile: "It seems that only Ms. Duan can deal with Qian Laosan's iron rooster. It's really one thing for one thing."

Ye Zijin glanced at the two people who were still bickering on the dance floor, and said, "I don't think it's all like this, I'm afraid there is no woman in this world who can hold down Boss Meng." When Ye Zijin said these words , but she immediately regretted it, and hurriedly lowered her eyes to look at the ground.No matter how these words sounded like they were said when a man and a woman were ambiguous, and there was a bit of sourness in them, Ye Zijin realized that what she said was inappropriate.

Meng Haoxiang said nothing, suddenly the hand around her waist gradually tightened, Ye Zijin couldn't help but took a step closer to him, she was almost close to his chest.Meng Haoxiang looked at her, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "What if I say yes?"

Suddenly, the music came suddenly, the hall was lit up in an instant, and a dance music ended.Ye Zijin hurriedly broke free from Meng Haoxiang's hand and took a few steps back, imitating the ladies around her and bowing slightly to express her gratitude.

At this time, a woman came up behind her and said, "Zijin, you are here. I was looking for you everywhere just now. Hey, Boss Meng is also here."

Meng Haoxiang nodded and said, "Hi, Miss Duan."

Qian Jiang behind Duan Zhenzhen greeted Meng Haoxiang, and then limped to Meng Haoxiang's side.

After Ye Zijin bid farewell to these two people, she pulled Duan Zhenzhen away. Duan Zhenzhen seemed to be in five layers of fog, and asked as she walked, "What's wrong with you? Where did you go just now?"

Ye Zijin was evasive, "I... I felt a little tight in my chest just now, so I went out to get some air. How did you meet Qianjiang?"

Duan Zhenzhen was triumphant, and she showed her white teeth when she smiled, "Oh, I'm really happy to teach that fat man a good lesson tonight."

"I think he was indeed taught a bad lesson by you, and I sympathize with him." Ye Zijin wrote lightly.

The two were talking and laughing all the way, when Ye Zijin suddenly thought of a question, isn't Meng Haoxiang's female companion brought tonight He Manling? Not to hate her.In order to prevent He Manling from causing trouble, Ye Zijin left the French Consulate early and went home.
