The grand banquet was held in a two-story luxurious hall. There were gorgeous crystal chandeliers, priceless masterpieces, beautiful murals, and fragrant clothes. The guests in splendid attire chatted and laughed merrily as they toasted each other.
When one stepped into this place, it was as if they had merged into a different world. Everything here was elegant and civilized.
Ji Anning held onto Ji Tianci's arm as she calmly sized up her surroundings. She did not reveal an overly excited expression, and with her identity, she was able to stand there calmly.
Ji Tianci's gaze turned around without leaving a trace, thinking of looking for Gong Yuze's figure. When the waiter came forward, he did not forget to pass Ji Anning a cup of grape juice. Ji Anning took the juice, drank it, and leisurely walked among the guests while being led by him.
Finally, Ji Tianci saw a handsome and extraordinary figure from the east. Most of the people who came here today were Westerners, so it was very easy to recognize them. At this moment, Gong Yuze was standing in the middle of a few elderly global tycoons, and he was in high spirits like a bright moon.
From the group of guests he had received, Ji Tianci felt a sense of pressure.
The Ji Family's industry could only rise steadily every year, and could only be considered rich. However, it could not reach the level of the Gong Family's wealth that could rival a country. That's right, looking at all the families in the world, there were not many that could compare to the Gong Family.
Of course, no one would carefully estimate the assets of the Gong Family right now, because they were afraid that they would have to use a lot of teams to barely count the tip of the iceberg!
Therefore, even the media did not dare to release the exact amount. They were afraid that if they were to release it, it would arouse the dissatisfaction and ridicule of the Gong Family.
Ji Anning did not know that Ji Tianci had brought her here for a hidden purpose.
Ji Tianci just so happened to see one of his business friends standing beside Gong Yuze, chatting with a few other business friends. Ji Tianci thought for a second, then said to Ji Anning: "An Ran, accompany me to get to know a friend."
"Hm!" "Alright!" Ji Anning pursed his lips and smiled. She followed Ji Tianci and arrived in front of this friend of his. At this moment, Gong Yuze's back was facing her, and she was also facing his back.
Ji Tianci naturally greeted his friend, "Hi, Lu Ke, how have you been recently?"
Lu Ke immediately wanted to hug him excitedly, but when Lu Ke saw the female companion beside him, he immediately wanted to take advantage of her, so he opened his arms and hugged her.
Ji Anning could not help but be shocked, and immediately retreated. Ji Tianci wanted to stop his good friend from acting recklessly, but Ji Anning's back had already bumped into someone …
She panicked for a moment, intending to see who she had bumped into. The person who had been bumped also happened to turn around to see who was so impudent and rude.
Gong Yuze turned around, and Ji Anning also turned around. As they were already close to each other, in Ji Anning's panic, the grape juice in the goblet in his hand spilled onto the man's white silk shirt.
Two people, two pairs of eyes, one glaring over, cold and angry, the other raised, extremely flustered.
However, when the two of them saw each other's faces …
It was as if all the sounds in the banquet had been removed in an instant. There was only the appearance of the person in front of him, the appearance of the person in front of him.
Ji Anning's chest felt as if it had been struck by lightning. She had stopped all her reactions, and even the panic in her eyes was clearly fixed in her clean eyes. She had never thought that the person she had bumped into would be him!
How could Gong Yuze not be shocked? In such a place, on such an occasion, he saw a woman who had ruthlessly stabbed him three years ago being pushed in front of him without any warning, breaking his vow to never see her again.
Ji Tianci stood at the side with a calm gaze, but when Lu Ke wanted to come over and apologize, he pulled him back.
Lu Ke did not know that a single joke of his would cause this beautiful girl to get into such trouble.
Gong Yuze did not even have the time to care about his dirty shirt and suit. He just expressionlessly looked at the woman who had bumped into him and even splashed him with grape juice. Actually, under the calm mask, there were raging waves of emotions.
Ji Anning's eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and transparent tears started to flow out. It was as if she had hit an acupoint, and was sealed within Gong Yuze's cold gaze, like a defenseless person who had been pierced into a river of blood, and was in a sorry state.
Just as her tears were about to fall, Ji Tianci stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace. He had already prepared a piece of tissue and wiped her face. At this moment, Ji Tianci's heart was also a little stifled and pained.
He never thought that this test would cause her to feel so much pain. Just by not saying a single word, her face was already covered in tears.
Now, all the answers were in front of him. They knew each other, had crossed paths, and might have even loved each other deeply.
When Ji Tianci pulled Ji Anning away, a hint of anxiety flashed past Gong Yuze's cold eyes. His gaze swept over coldly, and Ji Tianci politely apologized to him, "I'm sorry, my female companion has offended you, I will compensate you for your clothes."
Ji Anning's face was gently buried in Ji Tianci's chest. The sudden meeting caused her to panic, to be afraid, and to be at a loss of what to do.
Gong Yuze's gaze swept across the woman that Ji Tianci was hugging, and he said coldly, "No need!" With that, he walked towards the direction of the door.
"Yuze, wait for me!" Manli caught up to him from behind.
Ji Anning immediately raised his head and saw a girl holding onto Gong Yuze's arm in an extremely intimate and caring manner.
So there was a girl by his side. Was he going to leave?
The direction that Gong Yuze was heading towards was not the main entrance of the banquet hall, but the direction of the washroom. He said to Manli who was behind him, "Call my assistant and have him send a set of clean clothes over immediately."
"Gong Xiansheng, are you still going to stay at the banquet?" Manli asked in surprise, she thought that he was about to leave!
Gong Yuze did not answer her, but instead entered the washroom. Manli immediately took out her phone and called Ye Sen.
After explaining what had just happened, Ye Sen received the order and immediately went to carry it out. In the quiet and empty men's washroom, Gong Yuze's tall body was propped up on the sink, the glass mirror reflected his current expression, his sculpted facial features, at this moment, because of some sort of emotion, it was filled with hostility and malice, his palms clenched into fists, and under his thin lips, it was slightly protruding.
