Xia Zhi pushed the door and got off the car. She couldn't help but shake her head at the scene in front of him.

The so-called gathering was just a gathering of luxury cars. It was really a gathering that was better than a gathering of luxury cars.

Two tall, handsome waiters stood on either side of the door. They smiled gently at each guest, but that didn't stop them from scrutinizing each card they handed over.

And she had already secretly fallen in love with him by then …

Thinking back to that time, her heart was filled with bitterness.

Why did she have to have the same face as Mo Yanqiu?

If not, would her ending be completely different from his?

It won't be different.

If not for the fact that she had a face that matched Mo Yanqiu's, Pei Junshan would never have extorted the huge sum of money to buy her out in front of him. They would never know each other, nor would they have so much love and hate entanglement in the future.

Her life might still be hard and poor, but at least it was a hundred or ten thousand times better than the damage she was suffering now.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi's eyes could not help but moisten.

The carriage finally stopped. The handsome driver jumped off first and extended his hand to help her get off. He politely said, "I wish you a pleasant evening."

"Thank you." Xia Zhi thanked her softly and tipped her two hundred yuan as she carried her skirt up the stairs.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind him, "Tian Wan!"

Xia Zhi paused in her steps, she then turned and looked at Deng Yuqi who was running towards him and laughed, "Ya! What a coincidence! Why are you here too? "

Deng Yuqi laughed: "Today, the female protagonist is my cousin. Naturally, I'm here to congratulate her. But you, why did you come alone? Where's Du Ze? "

"Didn't Du Ze tell you? He had just flown to the United States at six-thirty to continue his studies that he had never completed before. "

"To the United States? So sudden? " Deng Yuqi was startled.

"It's not sudden either. He had actually wanted to go back a long time ago, but because the company had too many things to do, he kept dragging it out. Now that I'm back, I can help him with most of the stuff, so of course he's going to continue his studies abroad. Our Little Du is still not satisfied with his current level of knowledge. " Xia Zhi explained with a calm smile.

"Is this the reason why he suddenly wanted to transfer Nightclub away?" Deng Yuqi's eyes flashed with a faint cold light, like a sharp blade.

"Of course. What do you think? " Xia Zhi shrugged.

"How strange! I always thought that when you came back, he would be reluctant to leave! I didn't expect that the moment you returned, he would run away again! What do you think you two are? Sigh! It can't be that you find his education unworthy, which is why he decided to try hard, right? " Deng Yuqi smiled as he tried to probe.

"I am a close friend of his and I can be considered his subordinate. As a friend, I do feel that there is something lacking in his knowledge and vision. As his subordinates, there were naturally some areas where he refused to accept this. However, I didn't chase him away. He was the one who wanted to get out. "That's all."

"You sure are strong. However, I've only spoken a few words to you, and already I feel that I am unable to resist. You can only blame Du Ze for not being able to hold you back! Did he never catch up to you? "

"We are close friends." Xia Zhi laughed, turned around and continued to walk forward, "Your cousin is only eighteen this year? You're so much older than her! "

"That's right!" I was exactly eight years older than she was. My uncle was a typical phoenix. With the assistance of my aunt, he managed to complete today's career, and because he was eager to succeed at the time, he arranged to marry my aunt and have no children for ten years. My cousin, she could be said to be the child of an early marriage and late childbirth. That's why my aunt and uncle spoiled her. " Deng Yuqi's smile was retracted, and a look of contempt and arrogance flashed past his eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi felt a bit uncomfortable, but she still laughed lightly: "Then your uncle really isn't simple."

"That's right!" The Phoenix Man ran into the city and became its master. And we, the old city people, are no better off than he is now. He's very popular now. No matter what you do, you have to put on airs. He really thought of himself as the richest man in the world. However, he had forgotten that he was actually the richest person in City L. "Actually, there are many hidden talents in City L, but he was able to become the richest person here. It's just that there are some people who are low-key enough and do not want to reveal themselves."

Hearing that, Xia Zhi laughed, and did not continue.

Deng Yuqi paused, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, am I saying these words in a very despicable and unrefined manner, and not making you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm just listening to a story." Xia Zhi laughed, and looked back, "Your girlfriend isn't here?"

"The girl who was with me last night, you say? She's not my girlfriend. She's just a playmate. You must be used to this kind of thing when you come back from abroad. " Deng Yuqi laughed, "You also didn't bring a male companion, right? How about we stay with each other tonight? "

Xia Zhi smiled charmingly, "I don't want to restrict myself! Let's just each play our own game! Isn't the meaning of a banquet about hunting for new things? We all know each other pretty well, it's too boring to hang out together! "

"Your thoughts are so new! No wonder Du Ze couldn't catch up to you! " Deng Yuqi sighed.

"Alright, I won't bullsh * t with you anymore. I'll be going in first!" Xia Zhi amorously blinked her eyes at him and quickened her pace to enter the banquet hall.

Looking at her graceful back, Deng Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, through the conversation just now, everything had gone too far for him.

Perhaps it was just a drunken customer who had accidentally barged into the building.

Thinking of this, he straightened his clothes and walked forward.

In the main hall, there were already many customers dressed as if they were in the clouds.

He casually swept his gaze around and saw Xia Zhi, who was dressed in a golden fish-tailed long skirt, happily smiling like a fish in water amongst a group of young men in western suits and leather shoes.

It had to be said that she was truly a top-quality beauty.

If not for Du Ze, he might have pounced towards his like honey that had smelled the sweet fragrance of flowers.

Just as he was thinking, a girl wearing a white lace dress with her hair tied up high and a blue rose in a bun suddenly jumped onto him. Both of her hands were hanging around his neck as she shouted with a smile, "Cousin, you're finally here! I was worried you wouldn't make it! "Do you know how scared I was of tonight's first dance? I must dance with that oily and powder faced Young Master Qiao?"

The person who came was his cousin Kong Xintong. She had purposely dressed up tonight, making her look fresh and refined, and was even more beautiful than usual.

Deng Yuqi lightly tapped the tip of her nose and said dotingly: "Where did you get this kind of comment about your future fiance? If uncle heard about it, I'm afraid you'll be angered to the point of spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood! "

"If he hears it, so be it! In any case, he clearly knew that I was only eighteen years old, yet he actually rushed over to help me arrange this marriage! Where did you think of my feelings? At the end of the day, just treat me like a tool for marriage! No wonder in the feudal society before, no one looked down on the merchants. After seeing my father's face, I can finally understand everything! In the eyes of merchants, aside from money, it was also money! For the sake of money, kinship is nothing! " Kong Xintong said with a troubled face, "You really haven't seen that Young Master Qiao. His eyes are about to reach the sky. He clearly saw me in the corridor just now, but he pretended not to see me and turned around to leave! Humph! Do you really think that I, Kong Xintong, do not have anyone else to take it from!? "

"You are so beautiful and so cute, who would be willing to forsake you? Cousin, it's possible that he really did not notice you due to some urgent matter, stop thinking so much! " Deng Yuqi advised.

Just as he finished his sentence, beautiful music started playing.

Kong Xintong was shocked. She turned her head and saw Qiao Zhian walking towards her from afar.

Deng Yuqi sighed, "Cousin sister, why are you so willful? Do you know that what you did was obviously to give your uncle another chance to talk about me? "

"I just want to make him angry! Just based on his attitude towards you and Aunt over the years, I've long been displeased! "Today is the perfect day to anger him!" Kong Xintong said as he proudly looked towards the crowd, wanting to see how Qiao Zhian would react.

Unexpectedly, he saw Qiao Zhian chatting happily with a hot beauty wearing a golden-tailed fish dress. He could not help but be angry and annoyed, saying hatefully: "I knew he was an unreliable playboy! "My dad actually thinks of him as a treasure!"

Deng Yuqi followed her line of sight and saw that the girl beside Qiao Zhian was actually Xia Zhi.

They stood side by side. The men were handsome, the women were sexy, and they were an indescribably perfect match. People couldn't help but feel jealous of them.

Seeing them slide into the dance floor hand in hand, Deng Yuqi smiled lightly as he spun around Kong Xintong to their side, and said to Qiao Zhian with a smile: "Brother Qiao, shall we exchange partners?"

Without waiting for Kong Xintong to raise any objections, she pushed her over and grabbed Xia Zhi by the side. Qiao Zhian danced with her and smiled: "Qiao Zhian is Kong Xintong's fiance, the first song today should have been played by the two of them. If I were to rashly take you away from Qiao Zhian, you won't blame me for taking the initiative, right? "

Xia Zhi knew that Yue Yang had evil intentions and tried to get close to him. He probably wanted to verify something, so he shrugged and laughed: "I'm fine! It was a jump with anyone. But to be honest, Qiao Zhian is indeed more pleasing to the eye than you. Your cousin is blessed. Of course, don't worry. I won't be tempted by your cousin's people! "

Deng Yuqi squinted his eyes and stared at her, "Du Ze, do you know how amicable you are?"
