Banquet

Fu Ze could not be bothered and continued to kiss Ning Xiang, but the phone kept ringing urgently. Fu Ze clicked his tongue and turned to take his phone.

"President Fu, there was a problem with the contract yesterday. Please come to the company as soon as possible!"

Fu Ze's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and frustration. "Must I go? Why the hell am I paying for you?"

Ning Xiang leaned against the headboard as she twirled her hair with her fingers. "Just go. It's already so late. It must be something urgent."

It was not easy to be a CEO. He still had to work overtime at eleven at night.

Fu Ze took a deep breath and composed himself. He said hurriedly, "Stop talking. I'm on my way."

Fu Ze put on his suit. Ning Xiang wanted to put on his tie for him. Fu Ze glanced at her and teased, "Don't move. If you get up now, I won't go to the company."

Where would he go if he wasn't going to the company?

Ning Xiang was stunned. When she met his eyes, she suddenly understood what he meant. She immediately blushed and buried her head in the blanket. "Then come back early."

"Okay. Rest early then."

Ning Xiang lay on the bed. Without the warmth of another person, she was a little cold.

For the past few times, she failed to get what she wanted. Previously, Fu Ze had rejected her. Today, she was interrupted by a phone call. Ning Xiang felt that she should look for a fortune teller to see if there was something bad stopping her from having a child with Fu Ze.

The banquet hosted by the Ning family was set up in a manor specially used to receive upper-class people.

This time, the Ning family had spent a lot of money for the sake of their reputation, so the decoration was very good and well-received.

Ning Shi was surrounded by his business partners while Ning Lian was surrounded by a few tall and handsome men. She shyly responded to their words.

The three sons of the Ning family were also socializing with friends of the same age. It was very lively.

The most important guest had yet to appear.

The banquet officially started at 7:30 pm. It was now 7 pm, and most of the people had already arrived at the venue. Ning Shi called the waiter to check the list and realized that only the Fu family had yet to arrive.

Seeing this, his friend sneered. "Don't tell me the Fu family isn't coming? Then again, if my wife causes trouble outside and lets me take over problematic land in the east of the city, I won't have the cheek to show up either."

"President Ning is very well informed. When I heard that the land had depreciated, I was still very worried about you. In the end, you transferred it to the Fu family to take over the mess."

"That's right, President Ning. Is this true though? How did you know so early?"

Ning Shi was very happy to be praised. He took a sip of wine and pretended to be humble. "Sigh. It's really nothing. I just happened to know someone and he mentioned it in the passing."

The people looked at each other and asked again, "Is it someone from the government?"

Ning Shi replied, "Nope, but I trust him. I got some information from him before."

Everyone praised him again.

Ning Shi had encountered many obstacles and setbacks in his career these few days, making him doubt himself for a while. He could only rely on the thought of seeing the Fu family suffer a huge loss to stay strong.

In the entire banquet, more than half of the people had the same thoughts as him. As the person in charge of the event, he naturally received a lot of attention.

In the entire capital, no one else could make the Fu family embarrass themselves.

There were still ten minutes before the Fu family arrived, so more people joined the conversation in Ning Shi's circle.

They were certain that the Fu family would not dare to come. Ning Shi became even more arrogant and said to the waiter, "There's no need to wait. Let's start."

Just as Ning Shi finished speaking, someone exclaimed, "Are they really here?"

Everyone looked at the entrance.

At the front were Qiao Yun and her husband. The two of them were very loving and had a high status in the capital. When many people saw her, they immediately left Ning Shi's side and walked over.

Behind the two of them were the four brothers of the Fu family and their spouses. They were all wearing expensive and exquisite gowns, looking handsome and beautiful.

Fu Ze was the youngest son, so he was right at the back with Ning Xiang holding his hand. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her fair and exquisite neck.

Ning Xiang had an elegant and charming appearance to begin with, and her dignified outfit was perfect for the banquet. Everything matched flawlessly.

The men were blown away by her beauty. The women were stunned for a moment before gritting their teeth.

Fu Ze always stayed away from women, but made an exception for Ning Xiang!

The young men who were talking to Ning Lian were all staring at Ning Xiang. The focus of their discussion shifted from Ning Lian to Ning Xiang.

One of them even tried to get Ning Xiang's contact information from Ning Lian.

Ning Lian was so angry that she almost broke her newly made nails.

Why!

As long as Ning Xiang was around, no one noticed her!
