Song Xi's face turned red. "Despicable!"
Lou Yuming was not annoyed. Instead, he was in a good mood and found a small box from the drawer, tossing it over.
Song Xi didn't catch it, letting the box fall to the ground.
Knowing she felt wronged, Lou Yuming dressed neatly and walked up to her, intending to kiss her lips. But she stubbornly dodged, so he had to settle for kissing her cheek.
He was rarely patient. "Be good, I'll wait for you at the Ge family's."
After Lou Yuming left, Song Xi cursed him as a scoundrel again.
Then she looked at the black gift box, still crouched down and opened it, to her great surprise.
It was a diamond bracelet!
Not pearls, but diamonds!
Song Xi's heart trembled, and her anger instantly vanished.
This old man… truly knew how to handle her.
At eight in the evening, the Ge family villa was brightly lit.
Most of the attendees at the party were young and promising gentlemen. It seemed Old Ge had not given up on finding a match for Ge Bai Tao.
As soon as Song Xi entered, she heard Ge Bai Tao complaining to Old Ge.
"Grandpa, you must be dreaming!"
The old man let out a hearty laugh. His peripheral vision caught Song Xi at the doorway and he shifted his granddaughter's anger. "Go, Song Xi is here."
Ge Bai Tao snorted. Upon seeing Song Xi, her face immediately lit up, and she hurried over.
Old Ge stroked his beard. "It seems Tao Tao really likes this girl."
The butler beside him said, "It's a good thing if Miss can find a close friend."
Song Xi was a decent girl, just her background was a bit low. If she could marry into a good family, it would be easier for her and Tao Tao to interact without gossip.
Old Ge seemed to recall something and said, "Has the youngest son of the Qu family, whom I mentioned last time, arrived..."
Over here.
"Xi Xi…" Ge Bai Tao covered her mouth, exclaiming, "You are truly too! Beautiful! today!"
It was completely different from her usual style. At first glance, one would mistake her for a rich young lady, dignified yet girlish!
It was the feeling of first love!
Song Xi was stunned. First love?
She couldn't help but think of Lou Yuming, who had given her the dress. Who would be his first love?
"How come I feel…" Ge Bai Tao stared thoughtfully at her chest, grinning mischievously, "you've gone up a cup size?"
"No!"
Song Xi's face burned. Why was she, a girl, also so indecent, just like Lou Yuming.
But if both of them said so, had she really grown?
Song Xi lowered her gaze and looked. It seemed a little…
Ge Bai Tao was extremely envious, and she whispered, "Tell me honestly, what have you been eating lately? How did you have a second growth spurt?"
"…" Song Xi reached out and gave her a playful whack.
Song Xi's appearance attracted the attention of many gentlemen. It had been a long time since the circle had seen such a pure girl.
One or two felt Song Xi looked familiar, but couldn't recall why.
After all, she was now completely transformed and in close proximity to Ge Bai Tao. No one connected her to Zhang Qi's former girlfriend, who would come and go as summoned.
The gazes around became predatory, as if they were eyeing prey.
So, while Ge Bai Tao went to find Old Ge, they approached Song Xi one after another to strike up a conversation.
Song Xi maintained a distant and polite demeanor. Half an hour passed, and not a single person managed to get her contact information.
"This girl is not simple!" a man said in the restroom, feeling displeased after being rejected.
"It's normal. Look at the bracelet on her wrist, it's at least six figures."
"But I've never seen her before. Which family's young lady is she?"
"Perhaps she just returned from abroad."
"Tsk, no wonder she's not giving face. But she's got spirit! That's exciting!"
"Oh, it seems Young Master Qu is interested? How about a bet? Whoever can win her over gets my S480 4MATIC."
"You dare offer a million-dollar car?" the man called Young Master Qu adjusted his suit, his tone dismissive. "A custom-made one would be more like it."
The other person was shocked. "You want a three-million-dollar car to woo a woman? That's too much!"
"Scared?"
"Who said I'm scared? Alright, it's settled!"
The man smiled confidently, with an expression of certainty, and walked out of the restroom. "Get my car keys ready."
At the banquet, drinks were poured and glasses clinked.
Song Xi glanced at the time on her phone. Tao Tao hadn't returned yet.
Feeling a bit bored, her gaze fell on the business cards those men had given her. She idly flipped through them, about ten in total.
Qu Qi confidently approached with a glass of red wine, about to say something flirtatious, when he saw the woman stacking business cards into a pyramid on the table.
"???"
Song Xi had built it four layers high, but was still missing one card.
Just as she saw Qu Qi standing in front of her, she thought he was coming to give her a business card and proactively asked, "Do you have a business card?"
"???"
Qu Qi, stunned, handed over his business card, looking bewildered.
Huh? So easy? Did the three-million-dollar car come so quickly!?
To his surprise, after the woman said thank you, she placed the business card on top.
"Success!" she happily took out her phone to take a picture.
Qu Qi: "..."
Qu Qi's mouth twitched, and he almost crushed his glass. He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, is it not impolite of you to do this?"
Song Xi looked innocent and put away her phone. "Ah, but you were betting three million dollars. Isn't that even more impolite?"
Qu Qi felt struck by lightning. How did she know!
Song Xi gave a sweet smile. "Sorry, I happened to overhear when I came out of the restroom. It seems the soundproofing in this house isn't very good." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"..."
At that moment, Qu Qi wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
