The setting sun in the distance left its last ray of light on the ground. In just a few minutes, that ray of light was enveloped by the night sky. Night had arrived.
The neon red lights flashed, and the streets were filled with people. Ji Tianci's car was in the middle of the group of cars, and the route that was originally considered smooth.
However, when they passed through a road that was densely packed with traffic, a long line suddenly appeared, and the entire street was blocked to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Everyone guessed that there must have been a traffic accident or some major event in front of them.
The traffic was moving very slowly, taking almost ten minutes to move forward a few hundred meters. Xi FengHan picked up his phone and looked at it. The phone had already shown that it was out of battery a few minutes ago. This was a hotel car, and it was not equipped with a charging device. At this moment, there were only five minutes left before seven o'clock.
Ji Tianci looked at his watch worriedly.
In his mind was Ouyang Mengyue's voice of anticipation. Come at seven o'clock, she was waiting for him.
Ji Tianci's cultivation allowed him to restrain himself, but the anxiety in his heart was extremely strong. He looked at the endless traffic jam, and other than blocking here, even if he walked to the side, the nearby streets were all blocked, and he could not move at all.
Ji Tianci could only take out all of his patience and wait for the cars in front to clear up.
In the banquet hall, almost all of the guests had arrived. Ouyang Burong was dealing with a few political figures, while Gong Yuze was surrounded by a few business tycoons and toasted. Ji Anning entered a resting room to look for Ouyang Mengyue. Ouyang Mengyue sat on the sofa in disappointment, looking at her phone.
"What's wrong?" Ji Anning sat beside her and asked worriedly.
Ouyang Mengyue put her phone back into her bag, raised her head and smiled as she shook her head, "Nothing!"
"We're out. The guests are all here." Ji Anning held her hand, and also thought of his father and grandfather's instructions, hoping that Ouyang Mengyue could choose someone he liked from these young talents tonight.
"Alright." Ouyang Mengyue seemed to have made a decision as he stood up.
Just now, it was already past 7: 05. She couldn't help but pull out Ji Tianci's number, and the response was that the other party had already shut down his phone.
Ouyang Mengyue's heart immediately sank to the bottom. So he was lying to her? He wouldn't show up at the banquet at all, and he even turned off his phone.
From the time she called him until now, he had two hours to get here. With his hotel, it would only take an hour's drive for him to get here. But now, two hours had passed, and he still hadn't come. This meant that he really wouldn't come.
When Ji Anning and Ouyang Mengyue came out, Ouyang Burong was currently chatting with a young and promising young man in the business world. He looked at this young man with an extraordinary bearing and a witty manner of speech, and waved towards Ouyang Mengyue: "Xiao Yue, come to father's side."
Ji Anning pursed his lips and smiled, then pushed her, "Go!"
Ouyang Mengyue perked up and walked to his father's side with a cup of fruit juice. Without Ouyang Burong to speak first, this young master of politics greeted her elegantly, "Hi, hello, Miss Ouyang."
"Hello." Ouyang Mengyue greeted politely.
"Mengyue, when I was chatting with Young Master Cheng just now, you guys were even classmates from the same school! He's three years older than you, so it's quite fate. "Ouyang Burong laughed.
"Then I'll call Miss Ouyang junior sister. You can call me senior, that way it'll be more intimate."
Ouyang Mengyue pursed his lips and smiled. Ouyang Burong saw another old companion and said to Ouyang Mengyue: "Xiao Yue, take good care of your senior, daddy is going to entertain an old friend."
After he finished speaking, he naturally handed Ouyang Mengyue over to this Young Master Cheng. Ouyang Mengyue was a little embarrassed, but Young Master Cheng's gaze was especially interesting as he sized her up, filled with interest.
Not far away, Ji Anning was by Gong Yuze's side, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, causing many young men and women to be envious of him.
The banquet hall, on the other hand, was bustling with noise and excitement.
On the street, Ji Tianci's car finally moved to the location of the incident, and sure enough, there was a more serious car accident. A truck was blocking the road, blocking the traffic on both sides, causing the original four lanes to only be able to pass through one lane. That was why there was a long line of traffic.
Ji Tianci's car drove out of the driveway and started to speed up. His phone was already out of battery, and the time on his watch showed that it was already 7: 40 PM. He was late.
It was as if there was an inexplicable belief urging him to step on the accelerator to the bottom. He wanted to rush to the banquet and not let that girl down.
The fact that the Ouyang Family had two daughters was known to the guests. It was just that one of them already had a master, and the other party was the young master of the Gong Family with an inestimable net worth. Then, the other beautiful and enchanting Second Miss became more eye-catching and sought-after.
Other than this Young Master Cheng who was lucky enough to chat with her, there were also a few young men who were secretly paying attention to Ouyang Mengyue as they chatted.
Gong Yuze and Ji Anning chose a balcony with fewer people to enjoy the wind. Ji Anning did not really like socializing, and Gong Yuze was not very interested either. Usually, wherever he appeared, he did not need to take the initiative to look for others, and he would naturally become the focus of the crowd.
Therefore, this kind of occasion where everyone was surrounding the moon was meaningless to him.
If it wasn't for the Ouyang Family's banquet today, he wouldn't have come to participate.
In the parking lot downstairs, Ji Tianci's car stopped in an empty spot. He picked up his phone and walked towards the lobby of the hotel with large strides.
"Sir, may I ask who you are looking for? Today, this hotel is holding a private banquet.
"My name is Ji Tianci, I am Miss Ouyang's guest." Ji Tianci replied calmly.
"Oh!" Mr. Ji, you're here. Please come in, the banquet hall is on the tenth floor. "The waiter immediately let them through, because he had already been warned by Ouyang Mengyue in advance.
Ji Tianci lowered his head and walked towards the direction of the elevator with his long legs. Standing there waiting for the elevator, he looked at the time again. 7: 55 PM, he never knew that time would pass so quickly. He really wished that time could go back an hour.
But he was late, and he was still late.
