Time passed quickly in the car, and in the blink of an eye, nearly an hour had passed.
Lin Ruoxi opened her eyes drowsily. When she was awake, she suddenly realized that she was leaning on Yang Cheng's shoulder.
It was a little strange. The man beside her, who was motionless as a pillow, gave her an unprecedented sense of stability. Anxin.
She seemed tired. How could she have such an absurd illusion?
Lin Ruoxi silently moved her head away from Yang Cheng's shoulder. She touched her temples and made sure that her hair was not messed up. Then she asked lightly, "How long did I sleep?"
"About five hours. The banquet is over." Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi frowned and looked at the built-in exquisite clock in front of the car. After confirming that it was less than an hour, she turned her head and glared at Yang Cheng. "Don't be so mischievous. This kind of joke is not funny at all."
"If you don't let me laugh, I can't cry!" Yang Cheng said helplessly.
Lin Ruoxi ignored him and sat quietly on the side.
Yang Cheng looked at her for a while and asked, "Did you have a good rest? You look much better."
Lin Ruoxi still didn't speak. Obviously, she didn't want to pay attention to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng had to give up. The two quietly waited until the car entered the Jade Clouds Group's resort. The surroundings were lit up with all kinds of brilliant lights.
In the shade of the trees at night, the cold wind rustled. There were patrolling bodyguards on both sides of the road. Obviously, the Liu Family attached great importance to this party.
After driving on the spacious road of the resort for five or six minutes, the car stopped in a parking space on the side of the road. This road had long been filled with all kinds of world-class cars. Luxury cars like Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S series, which looked extremely luxurious to ordinary people, appeared so dim and unattractive in this place.
Yang Cheng clearly felt that Lin Ruoxi's body was slightly stiff. But after taking a deep breath, she immediately calmed down. It could be seen that Lin Ruoxi was relatively alienated from this kind of occasion.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go down. Don't run around alone. Do you understand?" Lin Ruoxi once again earnestly warned.
Yang Cheng bitterly smiled. "I am not a child."
"You are more troublesome than a child." Lin Ruoxi said without any politeness.
Yang Chen pouted and couldn't say a word. He had been looked down upon.
At this time, Li Ming, whose nerves were similarly taut, solemnly ran to the back door, opened it, and bent over to stand at the side.
Yang Cheng smiled and stretched out his left arm in front of Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a while, but she knew that she couldn't avoid it. She reached out her slender arms and hooked them around Yang Chen's.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated. In the end, she knew that she couldn't avoid it. So, when the owner of the car got off, many guests outside subconsciously looked over.
Yang Cheng was the first to get off the car. This was a completely unfamiliar face. All the guests stared blankly for a moment. They all looked at each other and asked with their eyes, which family's young master was this? Or was he the son of a high-ranking official invited by the Liu family?
Immediately, Lin Ruoxi, who was holding Yang Cheng's arm, walked out. She was like a powerful magnet, attracting almost everyone's gaze. The men's infatuation and the women's envy and jealousy. All kinds of complicated expressions were hard to describe. But most of them were questions. After all, Lin Ruoxi had almost never participated in this kind of public gathering of the upper class. She was also a stranger.
Immediately, Lin Ruoxi, who was holding Yang Cheng's arm, walked out. She was like a powerful magnet, attracting almost everyone's gaze. The men's infatuation and the women's envy and jealousy. All kinds of complicated expressions were hard to describe. But most of them were questions. After all, Lin Ruoxi had almost never participated in this kind of public gathering of the upper class. She was also an unfamiliar face.
The cold winter air would not be slightly weakened by the women's nude evening gowns. But the women always pretended to be unaffected, smiled reservedly, and could not shiver.
Yang Cheng felt that it was not easy for women. He felt that as soon as Lin Ruoxi got off the car and was blown by the cold wind, she immediately moved closer to him imperceptibly. Yang Cheng laughed in his heart. "An iceberg also knows the cold."
Following the respectful invitation of the banquet waiter, the two walked to the entrance of the banquet hall. This was a huge three-story baroque building. The Athens style stone pillars were so neat that they could not see the end of it. It was enough to prove the Liu family's wealth.
When they came to the door, a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo, with shiny hair and two strokes of mustache, with a handsome face and a ruddy complexion, came forward with a few attendants of different ages with a smile. He greeted Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi from a distance.
"I'm really flattered, I'm really flattered. General Lin actually gave me face and came to this banquet personally. Haha, welcome, welcome!"
Lin Ruoxi whispered to Yang Cheng, "This is the master of the Liu family, the host of this banquet, Liu Kangbai."
Yang Cheng came to a sudden realization. This must be Liu Yun's father. He must have harmed quite a lot of women when he was young.
As for the other guests who had doubts, when they saw that the host, Liu Kangbai, actually went out to welcome them personally and called out 'General Lin', most of them guessed Lin Ruoxi's identity after thinking about it carefully.
A woman who had a net worth of tens of billions and owned an international company was much scarier than her appearance!
In an instant, Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi became everyone's focus. Many people guessed that Yang Cheng was related to Lin Ruoxi. After all, the public knew that Lin Ruoxi wasn't married, nor did they hear that she had a relationship with any young master.
"Chairman Liu, you're being too polite. We're just juniors, there's no need to do this," Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly.
Liu Kangbai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Women are not inferior to men. When the old CEO of Yu Lei was still in office, I've said this before. Now that Yu Lei is in the hands of General Lin, it's already the overlord of Hua Xia's fashion industry. As a businessman, I'm respecting a successful businessman by coming out to welcome you."
Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything else. She just smiled and nodded.
Liu Kangbai then turned to look at Yang Cheng, "May I know who this is …"
Before Yang Cheng could say anything, Lin Ruoxi said, "This is my husband, Yang Cheng."
Yang Cheng turned around and looked at Lin Ruoxi in surprise. Although he knew that she was preparing to announce their relationship by inviting him to such an occasion, he didn't expect her to be so straightforward and expressionless.
Liu Kangbai was obviously stunned for a moment too. At the same time, many guests around them were shocked too. In an instant, Yang Cheng became the focus of everyone's jealousy.
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose awkwardly and said with a smile, "Chairman Liu doesn't know me, but I know your son."
Liu Kangbai immediately regained his composure and asked gently, "Mr. Yang, you know my son, Liu Yun? Are you from the same school? "
"We're not from the same school. We've only met before and had a small conflict." Yang Cheng said casually and added in his heart, If snatching your daughter-in-law is considered a small conflict …
"Haha, so it's called 'no discord, no concord'. Everyone here is a guest, please come in!" Liu Kangbai was a shrewd man. Before he figured out Yang Cheng's background, he chose to not continue the topic.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng doubtfully. She couldn't understand why Yang Cheng knew Liu Yun and had a conflict with each other. However, it wasn't suitable for her to ask about it in such an occasion, so she could only keep it to herself.
When the two entered the hall, Liu Kangbai whispered to a man beside him, "Investigate that man's background immediately."
That man immediately responded and left. Liu Kangbai smiled again and went to welcome other important guests.
Although the area of the hall was huge, it was also crowded. Most of them were socialites and rich ladies. The more people there were, the more mouths there were. While the waiters and waitresses were shuttling back and forth, the happenings outside the main door had already reached the ears of the people inside.
The news of the mysterious young CEO of Yu Lei International bringing her husband, an unfamiliar man named Yang Cheng, to the party spread like a whirlwind. Therefore, when Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi entered the hall, they immediately felt a lot of gazes.
Lin Ruoxi easily became the center of attention. Her black silk evening gown and cornflower sapphire jewelry made her elegant and refined, like a tulip that bloomed at night. She was noble and charming. Both men and women found it hard to resist her sudden charm.
Yang Cheng didn't feel good. I shouldn't have come. Sure enough, I've been seen naked by her.
On the other hand, Lin Ruoxi wasn't nervous at all. She seemed to have gotten used to being the brightest color in the crowd. She took the champagne from the waiters and walked into the center of the hall with Yang Cheng.
Many self-proclaimed successful male entrepreneurs and sons of officials felt jealous and disdainful when they saw Lin Ruoxi holding onto Yang Cheng's hand. From their perspective, this unattractive and unfamiliar man definitely couldn't be compared to them, the so-called elites. Lin Ruoxi was still young after all. Her heart was clouded by lard, so it was inevitable that she couldn't judge a man correctly.
One had to admit that men's thinking ability could be crazy sometimes. At this moment, they didn't even want to consider whether Lin Ruoxi, who managed a huge business empire, had a small brain capacity to judge a man correctly.
Therefore, a few well-dressed, educated, wealthy men approached Lin Ruoxi at the same time.
