Chapter 167: Enough of Lying to Your Best Friend
"Where are you going?" Li Yucheng stared at their connected wrists with an obviously unfriendly tone.
"She said she was thirsty." Ni Jia shook it off with a little effort, walked to Li Yucheng and shrugged: "I don't feel anything."
There was a bartender walking back and forth in the front hall with a tray. Li Cheng'an stopped one of them and handed a glass of juice to Ni Chang.
Ni Chang was furious and wanted to take the champagne, but Li Chengan calmly blocked her way.
"I heard that this pomegranate juice has very good fluidity and a mellow and rich taste," Li Chengan forced the juice into his mouth: "Try it?"
"Coward." Ni Chang cursed in a low voice, put down the juice, picked up her skirt, and walked away angrily.
Li Chengan seemed to be accustomed to this kind of anger. Not only did his expression not change, he was able to greet Ni Jia as usual.
"Sister-in-law, long time no see..."
"Chen Mi is here, I'll go say hello." Ni Jia ignored her and turned away.
"Hey..." Li Chengan curled his lips at his brother, "How rude."
Li Yucheng sneered: "You are worthy."
Tao Wenyao, who was hungover at his house last night, has now cleaned up and is now in a respectable state. He and Chen Mi are together for some reason, and he can see them arguing from a distance.
As Tao Wenyao approached, Li Yucheng's shoulders sank. He had applied a lot of hair wax, but there was little smell of alcohol.
"woke up."
"What are you talking about?" The other person glanced at him and said, "I'm giving you the opportunity to stay the night next door."
When Ni Jia heard this, he looked over here and happened to meet Li Yucheng's eyes.
He wasn’t at her place, nor was he next door. So where did he go in the middle of the night?
"You are so beautiful today, Swan Princess~" Chen Mi bumped Ni Jia's shoulder, and it was obvious that there was something else she said, "Did you deliberately clean up?"
"Hmm." Ni Jia leaned over and whispered, "This is a battlefield..."
"Hey, who are you going to hit?"
Chen Mi covered her mouth exaggeratedly, her eyes began to scan around, and soon she found Shen Chuyao among the group of socialites.
"God, she looks like a piece of watermelon-flavored bubblegum!"
"Who are you talking about?"
Tao Wenyao heard it, followed the direction of the gaze, then tapped Li Yucheng on the chest and gave him a thumbs up.
"Oh my god, what a great image."
"Will you die if you don't learn to speak like me?" Chen Mi rolled her eyes.
"It won't work even if you say it in a favorable way," Tao Wenyao said, "It's difficult."
"Why did you two come together?" Ni Jia asked in a low voice, "Will Little Golden Retriever agree?"
"Shh..."
Chen Mi was wearing a black fishtail skirt. If she stood still, she looked like a lady from a noble family. But once she raised her arms, her heroic aura was hard to conceal.
She put her arm around Ni Jia's shoulders, leaned over and whispered, "Young girls can really cry, they are so hard to comfort."
"Last night..." Ni Jia smiled, and Chen Mi immediately coughed lightly, asking her to shut up.
"Why are they staring at this?" Chen Mi joked, "Are we too stunning?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Tao Wenyao passed by Chen Mi and pointed at Ni Jia.
"This is Miss Ni next to us. Today is her first public appearance with Li Yucheng."
He raised his chin towards the group of celebrities and said teasingly, "I guess he has become the target of public criticism now."
With Shen Chuyao as the center, there were a dozen or so gorgeously dressed women surrounding her. Li Yucheng glanced roughly through the circle, and soon looked away because he felt bored.
"What are they so excited about?" Tao Wenyao asked.
"Ask the person next to you."
Chen Mi still doesn't understand what's so appealing about Li Yucheng's icy face.
How come with just one glance, those women became so impatient, like concubines who had lost favor in the harem?
Besides, isn’t Cheng Wenbai “selecting a concubine” today?
Thinking of this, Chen Mi felt regretful and glanced at Li Yucheng's left hand. Sure enough, the ring was still on him.
She looked at Ni Jia again, who was wearing gloves, hiss...well done.
Just wondering whether there was a wedding ring under the gloves was enough to keep the group of women guessing for an entire night.
"Niu Hulu Jiajia." Chen Mi whispered jokingly, "What made you suddenly rise to prominence?"
Ni Jia never mentioned the fake sample. With Chen Mi's noisy personality, she would have gone to ask Shen Chuyao for an explanation long ago.
Besides, this was just Li Yucheng and her guess. Although it was probably true, Ni Jia didn't want to spread rumors before the final conclusion.
Since you have to attend, you should maximize your role to avoid a second or third incident like fake samples in the future.
Maybe it was because Cheng Wenbo had not appeared yet, and now most of the women's eyes were focused on Li Yucheng and Li Chengan.
Li Cheng'an has a bad reputation and no one would dare to take advantage of him. As long as Li Yucheng doesn't announce his remarriage, some people will never give up.
For example, Shen Chuyao, her eyes looked across most of the front hall and fell directly on Li Yucheng.
No, to be precise, it fell into Li Yucheng's hands.
Ni Jia glanced to the side and saw that although the cloak could cover his arms, Li Yucheng insisted on exposing his left hand.
Under the illumination of the large chandelier in the front hall, the platinum ring looked shiny and bright.
She subconsciously clenched the small bag in her hand, and it felt like thousands of feathers were floating through her chest, gradually causing an itchy feeling.
"I'm asking you, why are you in a daze?"
Chen Mi nudged her with her elbow, and the noise even caught Li Yucheng's attention. Ni Jia hurriedly looked at the ground.
He evaded the question casually: "I'll tell you later."
"I'm coming."
Chen Mi suddenly patted her on the lower back. Ni Jia reflexively straightened her waist and looked forward, and found that Shen Chuyao was holding up the hem of her skirt and walking towards her with a smile on her face.
At that moment, many scenes flashed through Ni Jia's mind, including Shen Chuyao pinching her throat and acting coquettishly with Li Yucheng.
Thinking that Shen Chuyao had deliberately soiled her clothes, she asked Li Yucheng to borrow her coat.
Thinking of Shen Chuyao hugging Li Yucheng's arm, she was finally escorted into the car.
...
These scenes rushed into Ni Jia's mind one after another. He suddenly became flustered and his eyes unconsciously looked for Li Yucheng.
The next second, it got dark in front of her and Li Yucheng appeared in front of her. His broad shoulders blocked most of the light, but his jawline looked even more perfect in the backlight.
She jumped out of her panic and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"
"This is the wind outlet," Li Yucheng tilted his chin to the side: "Follow me over there."
As soon as he finished speaking, in full view of everyone, the other party took her by the hand and led her away from the gate.
Seeing Cheng Wenbo arriving late, Chen Mi snorted and said speechlessly, "What a lame excuse..."
Tao Wenyao took in all the movements in both directions. He shrugged and said with a smile, "It's enough to deceive your bestie."
Yes, the order of appearance in life is very important.
Chen Mi kicked her feet, but forgot that she was wearing a fishtail skirt and lost her balance and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Tao Wenyao was quick to act and supported her back, thus preventing the disaster from happening.
