Chapter 381 - 382: Shining Debut (2)
Lu Weixi was indifferent to facing Liu Yiyi and certainly felt no remorse. The only troublesome thing was, Liu Yiyi was aware that she was at Lulu, and she did not want to be bothered by her in the future.
Before this, even if Lu Weixi did not leave immediately, she would certainly not be as calm as she was now. Yet now, she remained still and glanced over at Qin Zhiyou.
Qin Zhiyou also turned his head and looked at her. Her eyes revealed surprise, a hint of blame, but more than anything, asking him “what to do”. She did not want to face these people up front, nor did she want her identity to be exposed. Without mentioning anything else, she had already brought up discussion once when she took on the design project from Siyi Company. If her identity got revealed, all her hard work would be overshadowed by a title “Mrs. Qin”. Her talent and abilities would be seen as exchanged benefits and secret operations, which was not what she wanted.
But, she believed that Qin Zhiyou would help her overcome these difficulties.
Qin Zhiyou was also looking at her, not saying anything, but extending his hand as an invitation for her to get off the car. Lu Weixi looked at him again, and he gave a slight nod.
So, she naturally placed her hand in his palm, which he firmly gripped, then, he got off the car first.
But just before getting off, he glanced at Secretary Wang: “You know what to do.”
His voice was calm and so was his gaze. But such calmness made Secretary Wang shudder on this hot day.
Having been by Qin Zhiyou’s side for years, he was quite familiar with his habits. When Qin Zhiyou really decided to do something, he tended to be exceptionally calm. He was blaming himself for not clarifying today’s specific details which had led to the current situation.
So he quickly nodded: “Don’t worry, Mr. Qin.”
Qin Zhiyou was quite the talk recently. Originally, him taking control of the Hanhai Group was already high-profile enough, and the recent showcase area was a big thing, and he had just appeared on TV, naturally attracting a lot of attention.
The ceremony hosts arranged for Liu Yiyi, intending to flatter him. Everyone knew that Qin Zhiyou cherished her a lot, even using the sponsor’s name to push her into the currently most popular program, and helped her shoot documentaries. Xiang Yirou, the previous leading lady, never had this sort of treatment.
Liu Yiyi also dressed up with the intention to surprise him. Ever since she heard about this charity banquet, she fought for the opportunity. If she successfully gains the favor of Qin Zhiyou, what would the small profit from Qin Weijia’s side count for?
Seeing Qin Zhiyou’s car drivingward, her eyes lit up, forgetting to even entertain Bai Changyou’s family that had just arrived. Mrs. Cai and Cai Yiren, seeing the face of this host, which was all smiles earlier, suddenly changed when it came to them, were not pleased.
Bai Changyou was calm though. He had seen Liu Yiyi before and knew her relationship with Qin Zhiyou. He guessed that Lu Weixi would also come to today’s event. He was curious to see whether his daughter had made any progress in these five years.
As they spoke, Qin Zhiyou was the first to get off the car, towering like jade, with a handsome face.
Upon seeing him, Liu Yiyi’s eyes were filled with nothing but him, her heart filled with joy as she quickly walked towards him.
However, she hadn’t walked two steps in her high heels before nearly twisting her ankle.
Because she saw that Qin Zhiyou was not alone when he got off the car, his hand was holding another woman’s delicate hand!
