Chapter 10 - Xia Qin'er?

The next afternoon. At the Zhou Mansion.

In the bedroom, in front of a full-length mirror, Liang Jia silently stared at the figure in the mirror.

She wore a milky-white dress with a simple design. The hem of her skirt was ironed until it was smooth. Shrinkage of the streamlined design, more obvious body concavity. Beneath the knee-length fabric was a white and straight shin, which became even more slender along with the high heels. Her long hair was elegantly tied up, and a strand of slightly curly sideburns fell to her cheek.

This was probably what the Zhou family was looking forward to.

This was the first time Zhou Xing Chen had asked her to appear in public with him. With so many pairs of eyes watching her, she definitely could not let her guard down.

Liang Jia looked inside the jewelry box and randomly picked it up for a while before picking out a black pearl necklace and putting it on.

A round pearl fell heavily on his neck, giving off the aura of a noble.

Speaking of which, the Zhou family had indeed never treated her unfairly in the area of jewelry. After all, no matter what time, as long as she went out, she would represent the face of the Zhou family.

Liang Jia's sharp fingers caressed the round and smooth surface of the pearl. Thinking of something, she laughed at herself, took her makeup, and began to draw her eyebrows.

The makeup was done. Her eyebrows were long and delicate, and her eyeliner was not dark. She flew out diagonally from the end of her eyelashes.

Three knocks sounded at the door. It was obvious that the people outside were getting impatient. "En." Liang Jia responded. In the end, she looked at the mirror and looked around. After confirming that there was nothing special, she changed into a bag that matched her clothes and went to open the door.

Zhou Xing Chen leaned casually against the door frame. His hair was trimmed and cut to pieces, refreshing and elegant. He wore a well-cut white suit, and the tassels and tie in his pocket shone with a metallic luster under the light.

Liang Jia was momentarily stunned. From this perspective, he was as handsome as a god.

As soon as his eyes met hers, Zhou Xing Chen's eyes dimmed. However, it was only for a moment. He quickly adjusted his expression, put his hand into a fist and lightly coughed before saying indifferently, "Let's go."

The long and comfortable MPV slowly stopped at Hill Hotel.

The reporters who had been standing by the side immediately recognized this iconic vehicle. Upon hearing its name, they immediately swarmed over, surrounding it.

For a moment, the sound of the shutter door ringing could be heard. This was the first time that Liang Jia had seen such a formation. Her posture was still elegant, but her palms were clenched tightly as fine beads of sweat dripped from them.

Zhou Xing Chen glanced at the person beside him before removing his safety belt. He got off the car first and walked around to the front passenger side to open the door for her. Gentleman held out a hand to her, the back of which was turned upwards.

All the female reporters in the media outlets started screaming in fear due to his handsome posture. They were extremely excited, but they were blocked by the wall surrounding the hotel's security guards and could not get close to him.

The opportunity was fleeting. The reporters did not care about the angle of the photo anymore and just kept pressing the shutter button.

What a joke, the Zhou family's leader rarely appeared in public media, and even when interviewed, he had to go through several appointments, and there was a high chance that he would not see the person in person. Furthermore, he had appeared together with the legendary Mrs. Zhou.

Just these photos alone were enough to make the entire newspaper exclaim in amazement.

Liang Jia was also aware of the reporter's madness. Her heartbeat became even more violent than usual. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she slowly reached out and placed her hand on the back of Zhou Xing Chen's hand, lowering her body to get out of the car.

As soon as he stepped onto the red carpet, the spotlight began to shine fiercely. Liang Jia's conditioned reflex was to reach out to block the attack, but her wrist was gripped by a large, warm hand, preventing her from doing so.

"Don't block." Smile at the camera. "

Zhou Xing Chen whispered into her ear. From a reporter's point of view, this was simply a pair of people whispering to each other as they raised the cameras in their hands.

After the initial tenseness, Liang Jia's reaction was extremely quick as she quickly adapted to it. Out of the corner of her eyes, she observed Zhou Xing Chen's actions. She too smirked and waved generously to the media.

Zhou Xing Chen was clearly very satisfied with her performance. The strength in his grip increased as he pulled her towards the inn's entrance.

All the reporters were extremely excited as they reached out their microphones towards the two of them.

"Did Mr. Zhou turn his business to foreign markets this time?"

"Did Mrs. Zhou's first public appearance mean that something good was about to happen?"

A faint smile hung on Zhou Xing Chen's lips as he answered with two irrelevant questions. He had one forearm on his waist, and Liang Jia had his arm around him. The two of them walked into the hall together, leaving the flashing lights behind them.

The lavishly decorated banquet hall was filled with champagne and crystal glasses.

There was still some time before the banquet would begin. As soon as Zhou Xing Chen entered, he was warmly welcomed by the hosts, who introduced many foreign investors as well as promising investments.

With Zhou Xing Chen's power in K City, being able to form a cooperative relationship with him was the goal of every entrepreneur.

Liang Jia followed him for a while. Although his eyes were constantly focused on her and didn't ignore her, she really couldn't muster up any interest towards the content of their conversation.

She stopped and took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, sipping it lightly. Inadvertently, she saw the organizer push a coolly dressed girl to Zhou Xing Chen's side, forcing a smile. "This is my little girl. She's been admiring Director Zhou for a long time. Today, I'll introduce her to you."

Zhou Xing Chen didn't have much interest in this matter, and he politely responded. Liang Jia shook her head and looked away.

When she turned, she saw a man in a black suit walking towards her with a wine glass in his hand.

The way he walked was a little strange. Although he tried his best to look normal, he still felt a little lame.

Liang Jia felt that he looked a little familiar, but the sinister look in his eyes made her feel very uncomfortable. She frowned slightly and stopped looking. She stepped back to make a path for him.

She didn't expect that the man would stop right next to her. His feminine voice carried no emotion as he said, "Miss Liang, I've heard a lot about you."

"Hello." Liang Jia didn't like him. Although she didn't know why he had come to greet her, this was a public place, so she could only politely nod her head.

The man smiled weirdly as he whispered, "Miss Liang, you were injured by your divine injuries alone here. Did you suffer from your neglect?"

Divine injury? Which one of her expressions looked like she was in a bad mood?

Liang Jia couldn't agree with this man's logic. Seeing him look meaningfully at the woman next to Zhou Xing Chen, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Xing Chen only needs to work. There's no end to it."

"Not counting?" The man chuckled, but there was no laughter in his eyes. "I understand you. Was it hard to follow Zhou Xing Chen? After all, in his heart, there are other women that are inferior to you, Miss Liang.

Liang Jia was somewhat speechless. Just as she was about to answer, her shoulders suddenly felt warm as she was pulled into a warm embrace. Zhou Xing Chen's voice was cold as he said, "Young Master Ning, you can look for me directly. There's no need to let my fiancée pass on the message."

"Fiancée?" As soon as he heard Zhou Xing Chen's voice, the grimness on the man's face intensified. He glared at him before suddenly turning to Liang Jia. "I wonder if your fiancée has heard of Xia Qin'er's name?"
