Chapter 267 - Meeting Old Friends

At six o'clock in the evening, a black Rolls-Royce pulled steadily into the open-air parking lot of the Golden Court Hotel.

In that moment, all the media outlets gathered in front of the door exploded, and some of them even shouted loudly, "It's President Li's car! The President Li is here! "

Countless people swarmed over, countless flashing lights gathered, and even more microphones were used. The excited reporters were even trying their best to figure out how to get close to them in order to conduct an interview.

Tonight, in the Golden Court, there was the annual SLYCX charity banquet, which was also the one funded by the Li's. It was a top-notch charity banquet, with countless top names, leading businessmen and celebrities gathering. It was an absolute visual impact, a paradise for the media.

The black car door slowly opened, facing the countless of spotlights, Li Chenxi's figure was majestic and tall. He was dressed in formal clothes, and on the outside, there was a long coat.

She was wearing a white cashmere coat and a fiery red dress, making her look even more sexy and enchanting.

Countless reporters were crowding around, and it was impossible to avoid interviews even if one wanted to.

The security guards tried their best to maintain order as they escorted the two into the hotel. There were many people asking questions in the crowd, but one or two of them accidentally caught on to something sensitive.

"President Li has been divorced for many years and has always been alone in this world. To not be able to marry Miss Han even after so long, are you waiting for your old love to return?"

"President Li's beloved son just had an accident, could it really be an accident? Or is it the intentional design of someone? "

"SLYCL, the reason why it's called SLYCL is because of your and your ex-wife's initials, right?"

There were always a few people who could move a person's heartstrings with just a few words. No matter how well they hid, it was still easy for them to be caught.

Han Cai Ling's maintained smile froze and her steps immediately halted. She turned her eyes and looked at the man beside him with expectation. Although she didn't say anything, her gaze was clear enough a long time ago.

She was waiting, waiting for him to give a statement to the media, a statement to himself.

Li Chenxi saw through her intention, and his deep black pupils flashed with light. Looking at the dense crowd around his, the thin lips slowly moved, and said indifferently, "It's just a coincidence!"

He said these words perfunctorily.

While the reporters were hesitating, he, long arm, held onto Han Cai Ling's slender waist and walked into the hotel with large strides.

"Chenxi!"

was still a little unwilling. From the day the SLYCL was established five years ago, she knew that this was the composition of their initials. He also used a few small details to commemorate his deceased marriage and the people who left.

At that moment, she couldn't take it anymore. Even after being under the control of so many years, her anger was still intermittent, and she was ready to swallow her rationality at any moment.

Hearing the person beside calling out to him, Li Chenxi's black eyes drooped, and he asked indifferently: "Hm?"

Han Cai Ling was stunned again. What could she say at this time? She couldn't possibly question him directly, right?

It was more of a ruse than a taunt.

That bitch Shu Yao is back, she can't let herself fall at this crucial moment!

Han Cai Ling raised her red lips and smiled, revealing her teeth. In the next second, her charming little body leaned into his embrace. "I'm fine.

"Not bad." He looked away, took off his coat, and handed it to a waiter.

The two of them took another step and entered the banquet hall.

Champagne dress, lanterns and dancing.

The banquet hall could be said to be abnormally bustling, with celebrities from all walks of life gathering. There were handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, making people dazzled.

Because it was a charity banquet, every guest had to sign the items to be auctioned at the entrance of the hall, as well as the anticipated auction price. The funds obtained from these auctions would be free to the Red Cross Society and the orphanage.

As the host, Li Chenxi naturally had to take out a few things to auction, they were all antique calligraphy and paintings, although the price was not cheap, it couldn't make people gasp in admiration, and what surprised many was Han Cai Ling.

The Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant that was passed down through the ancestors of the Han's was from Song Yuan, so it was definitely a priceless collection. It had been around for a long time, but no one had ever seen it.

After signing, Li Chenxi said as the two of them walked in: "Are you sure you want to auction those two jade pendants?"

She smiled slightly and said, "Even if we don't auction it off this time, my dad's intention is to donate it to the museum for free. Rather than doing exhibitions for free, I might as well earn some money and do some good for the orphans, right?"

Her delicate and soft expression was naturally, and her bright and limpid eyes showed emotion. She slightly pulled on his arm, causing Han Cai Ling to speak again, "What? Is it not right for me to support you so much? "

Li Chenxi smirked, "Alright! "Of course."

Of course she wouldn't be willing to part with the family heirloom that was passed down through the Han's, but in order to coax Li Chenxi, and also to pass on Du Ming's gift to her, she didn't care anymore. How could she possibly win if she didn't have a tongue?

His top priority right now was to firmly grasp onto Li Chenxi's heart. Getting married as soon as possible was the most important thing, otherwise, if that mute came back, all of his previous efforts might have gone down the drain …

As she was thinking, a beautiful figure flashed in the crowd in front of her, and a bad premonition arose within her.

Just as expected, Li Chenxi also noticed it.

The Shu Yao tonight was even more eye-catching and beautiful. Wearing a light white chest dress, she revealed the snow-like skin on her chest. Her slightly curled long hair was tied up high in a bun.

Along with the movement of her footsteps, a myriad of charming and charming emotions could be seen. Her pale beautiful eyes were brimming with splendor as she slowly walked in the crowd, chatting happily with the people around her while holding a cocktail in her hands. Occasionally, she would take a sip.

Amongst the crowd, the light around her had completely suppressed all the top celebrities. Her elegant demeanor and outstanding speech made people feel even more amazed. Countless gazes from the opposite sex lingered on her body.

Han Cai Ling looked up, and as expected, Li Chenxi also noticed the woman.

Shu Yao greeted everyone in a circle, and felt that her face was about to turn stiff from the smile, it wasn't easy for her to reunite with everyone. She changed a glass of red wine, and pulled to the side to rest, but to no avail, her gaze noticed him among the crowd.

Handsome men were outstanding at all times, and were also the most eye-catching. Li Chenxi was the same.

However, the female companion beside him made Shu Yao slightly frown between his eyebrows.

Her eyes flashed as she shook the goblet in her hand. The scarlet liquid reflected her exquisite makeup as she heard the low voice of a male — —

"Alone tonight?"

Shu Yao turned her head slightly and saw Pei Shaoling.

After five years of not seeing him, he had also become much more mature. He had a angular appearance, excellent facial features, and a small beard on his chin.

They could be considered old friends, Shu Yao smiled lightly, "President Pei, long time no see!"

"It's been five years since we've last met, but it's been a long time. It's also good to think of your voice now." Pei Shaoling stood beside her with a bright smile on his face, as if he was not surprised, "I heard that you've returned home, I did not expect to meet you today, it could be considered a coincidence!"

Shu Yao raised her lips. What coincidence? How could these big corporations's CEO not attend the annual charity dinner?

He looked at her with a deep look in his eyes, "Why is there only one person? You didn't bring a male companion? "

"President Pei is making fun of me, how can I have a partner?" Her smile was warm and calm.

Pei Shaoling extended his hand towards her, "That is even more coincidental, I do not have a female companion, would Miss Shu be willing to honor me with your presence?"
