Chapter 8

"Hello, Mr. Liu. I've heard a lot about you," said Jeremy Xie flatly.

"I heard that you have started your own business after studying abroad. Is everything going well?"

"I'm fine. Thank you for taking care of me."

" That's the strength of Mr. Xie. Is this Mrs. Xie? She is so fresh and beautiful."

"I'm sorry. This is not my wife. She is a design talent of my company, miss Ella Jiang."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liu. I've heard a lot about you," Ella Jiang greeted politely as she shook hands with Mr. Xie. No wonder such a big party would invite an unknown small company.

"Then let's go first." Jeremy Xie nodded at Cloudy Liu and signaled Ella Jiang to go forward. Along the way, people kept greeting Jeremy Xie. Obviously, Jeremy Xie was very familiar with this kind of social form. She greeted everyone, including many celebrities. Ella Jiang got used to this kind of occasion.

At this time, a man walked towards Ella Jiang with his head down. Ella Jiang looked familiar, but she didn't recognize the man for a moment. The man raised his head and suddenly stopped, looking confused.

Edmend Qin couldn't believe her eyes. Wasn't that woman! Wearing a white dress, Ella Jiang looked very different from her usual neat and efficient appearance. At this moment, she was like a princess in a car. For a moment, Edmend Qin didn't know how to react and was stunned there.

"Why are you here?" Edmend Qin asked.

"Why shouldn't I be here?" Ella Jiang should have guessed why the Qin financial group wouldn't attend such an important occasion?

"Isn't this Mr. Qin? We just met a few days ago." Jeremy Xie walked up to him and said indifferently, "this is the design talent of our company, so I invited her to this dinner party."

It was him again! It was Jeremy Xie again! He brought Ella Jiang here, and no one told him about it! It shouldn't be Jeremy Xie, but his Edmend Qin! If anyone recognized her, how could he face Edmend Qin?

"Ella Jiang, come with me." Edmend Qin was about to pull Ella Jiang.

Ella Jiang stepped back to avoid Edmend Qin. "Why should I go with you?"

For the first time in Edmend Qin, she looked a little anxious; "Because you are my wife!"

Ella Jiang said firmly, "how could I be your wife? On the wedding day, I finished the whole process of the wedding. At that time, why wasn't I your wife? After the wedding, you asked me to do all kinds of servants' work and not touch a swing. How could I be your wife? I'm sorry. I don't know you."

Edmend Qin wanted to say something more, but Jeremy Xie said, "master of the Qin family, this is not the place for you to act wildly. This lady has said that she doesn't know you. Please don't badger her anymore. Please keep your manner."

After saying that, the two of them bypassed Edmend Qin and walked into the hall.

Ella Jiang turned her head and found that Edmend Qin was still standing there, motionless. She was a little regretful, thinking that he might have gone too far just now and that she had behaved a little inappropriate in front of Jeremy Xie. But to be honest, it was also a good thing for her to vent her suppressed emotions these days.

Edmend Qin felt that she had stood there for a long time, so long that he could not feel the passage of time.

He had never known that such a method would cause such a great harm to Ella Jiang. Yes, from the very beginning, his purpose was to hurt her and make her unable to bear to leave by herself. But who would have thought that she would be able to endure it for so long for a promise, which was something that Edmend Qin had never expected. Was he wrong from the very beginning? Was he too cruel?

"Mr. Qin, is there anything wrong?" the waiter noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Edmend Qin. Edmend Qin took a glass of wine from the tray and drank it up in one breath before feeling better.

"It's okay. Thank you for your wine." Edmend Qin returned the glass to the waiter and slowly walked out of the crowd. 'forget it. We are outside now. There are so many people watching us. I will teach her a lesson when we go home.'.

At this time, the host went on the stage, simply auditioned the sound, and said to all the guests, "dear guests, good evening! This time, I invite all the famous people in the design world to attend the dinner, mainly for a big project - the design of the landmark building of this city."

After that, the host invited an important guest onto the stage. The guest began to tell the purpose, meaning, relevant content and requirements of the construction design of the landmark.

Ella Jiang thanked Jeremy Xie for her invitation. Compared to living a aimless life with money, this level of spirit was what Ella Jiang really longed for.

Ella Jiang listened attentively to the whole introduction, forgetting what had happened just now. It was not until the host said, "now, the dinner begins! Please take your seats and enjoy this wonderful night!" that the whole speech ended in the applause of the guests.

Jeremy Xie trusted Ella Jiang very much, so he took this opportunity to specially bring her here. It was not until what had happened just now that Jeremy Xie realized how much hidden forbearance and unwillingness had been hidden behind her gentle smile all the time.

Such an unruly girl shouldn't have spent her life with an emotionless person like this.

It was already late after the dinner. Ella Jiang seemed very happy. She even drank a little. Her face was a little red, which made her more beautiful in the neon light. Looking at Ella Jiang's sincere smile, Jeremy Xie thought, 'let me make this princess happy forever.'.

Jeremy Xie walked over and said to Ella Jiang, "how about taking a photo here?"

"You're smart!" Ella Jiang seemed to be suddenly enlightened. "It's not in vain for me to come here with a photo."

Jeremy Xie found a passer-by and asked him to take a photo of them at the gate of glory hall. The passer-by agreed with joy.

With a bright smile on her face, Ella Jiang clumsily made a 'V' gesture, and Jeremy Xie stood quietly beside her.

"One or two, three!" the moment the shutter was pressed, Jeremy Xie quickly pressed Ella Jiang's head on his shoulder.

After taking the photos, Jeremy Xie took her phone back from a passer-by. He took a look at the photo and showed a successful expression. Then he set the photo as the background of his mobile phone. Although he was suspected of taking advantage of her, he couldn't care too much. It seemed that Ella Jiang didn't live a good life in the Qin family. Perhaps he still had a chance.
