Lowering her eyes, she quickly picked up the file bag, glanced at the jewelry on the dressing table, swept it with her eyes, picked up the most expensive Chopard watch, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
In the walk-in closet, Gu Zixuan had just picked up a pair of silver high heels when she heard the sound of a door closing.
Her eyebrows knitted slightly; she really couldn't muster much goodwill for Zhou Huimei's somewhat rebellious and rude daughter.
Wanting to put the shoes back, she paused mid-action, thinking of the investment banquet.
Investment, which means besides the business elites, political dignitaries would also be present?
With a thought, she raised her eyes, took a white draped long dress from the wardrobe, and walked out.
As she passed by the bed, she felt something was missing but couldn't recall what it was.
After a couple of glances, her eyes finally landed on the dressing table.
A faint surprise crossed her heart; in the jewelry box, the only thing missing was a somewhat vintage watch...
When He Xiaoqi was leaving, she tidied up to look somewhat presentable, after all, Zhou Huimei had a good appearance, and her children were both strikingly attractive.
As she sat in the back seat of the Maybach, He Xiaoqi satisfactorily adjusted the clavicle chain on her chest and the diamond-shaped earrings on her ears.
All were silver with a metallic feel, matching well with the watch she chose for tonight.
In the dim car light, beside her, a pair of deep eyes were fixated on her wrist, unable to return to reality for a long time...
Soon after, He Xiaoqi's hand was grabbed abruptly, and even faster, the watch was taken off.
The rough action hurt He Xiaoqi.
With her wrist reddened, she looked at the man beside her, feeling aggrieved and surprised, said: "Brother, what are you doing..."
"Go change your accessory, if you don't have one, then don't go!"
His heavy voice was very cold.
He Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, hesitated briefly, and before the chill in his eyes intensified, she quickly got out of the car and hurried back to the bedroom.
Inside the car, He Qimo fumbled with the watch face for a long time, then slowly looked up at the third-floor bedroom.
The bedroom lights were off, and inside, no one...
Midnight breeze softly blowing.
Outside the Royal Jazz Club, the stars were brilliantly shining.
Inside and outside the long red carpet, noble clouds of elites were shuttling back and forth, conversing.
On a side road unnoticed by many, a white Bentley Continental coupe was quietly parked.
In a white suit, Yu Yuanshen glanced at his watch and gave the woman beside him a gentle smile, "It's about time, I won't be escorting you in."
Gu Zixuan raised her eyes, her long hair slightly curled and cascading down her shoulders, with no overly luxurious jewelry on her, just a thin necklace and a pair of teardrop-shaped diamond earrings.
Not luxurious, yet exquisitely stunning.
She curled her lips into a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu, without your invitation, I wouldn't have been able to come in."
Yu Yuanshen laughed, the curve of his lips able to melt everything.
"No need to be so polite, you're Weiwei's best friend, and I'm her older brother, so naturally, I'm your brother too. Besides, I don't really enjoy attending such gatherings. If you hadn't asked to come, I would have most likely been pressed against my desk like a calendar."
His wit made Gu Zixuan laugh out loud.
Yu Yuanshen was Yu Wei's older brother, second in the family, and they had an older sister who had already married far away in France.
He was the Chief Executive Officer of GIO Investment Bank, and also a prominent figure in the financial streets of Rong City. He didn't like attending such events because someone of his stature would inevitably be bombarded with greetings and inquiries about economic trends upon arrival.
Yet with her, he remained as always, casual and warm.
Without further ado, Gu Zixuan smiled and said, "Alright."
She pushed the door open and got out of the car, walking away.
