Chapter 371 The Man Who Put a Coat on Her
The cocktail party was held at a high-end mountain resort club, and the attendees were all business tycoons from Huacheng, who were required to have an invitation to enter.
The clubhouse, both inside and out, was already decorated for the evening's business reception, brightly lit and resplendent.
A top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce stopped outside the clubhouse entrance. Xu Chaofeng, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door.
Yan Zhixu got out of the car.
Xu Chaofeng unfolded the black coat she had taken from the passenger seat and draped it over his back.
Yan Zhixu straightened his clothes, turned around, placed his hand on the roof of the car, bent down, and gently reached into the car.
Liang Liangwei placed her hand in the man's palm, got out of the car, and took his arm as they entered the club.
The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman attracted countless admiring glances.
The reception had begun, and the hall was filled with business elites, clinking glasses and exchanging pleasantries.
Someone whispered, "Isn't that... Bosch Group CEO Yan Zhixu!"
"I heard he'd be there tonight, so I came specifically for him. It's true!"
"As expected, he has an extraordinary presence, just as rumored."
"The woman next to him is so beautiful, she looks... kind of familiar?"
"Isn't that the stylist who was paired up with CEO Yan online a while ago? Are they really a couple?"
"Haha, I knew back then that if they didn't come out to clarify, it meant they were admitting it, and it seems I was right!"
"They're such a perfect match!"
"Wait, speaking of that news, look at the diamond necklace around the stylist's neck, isn't that..."
"At the summit of the iceberg!"
"Truly the summit of the iceberg!"
"That minor celebrity is really going to be slapped in the face! By the way, what's that minor celebrity's name again?"
……
The whispering people didn't notice the tone of their voices, but Liang Liangwei heard some of them. She could only bite her lower lip to stop herself from curling her lips up.
At the same time, I felt very embarrassed.
She knew that by being so ostentatious by Yan Zhixu's side, and wearing the "Peak of the Iceberg" jewelry, she would definitely cause a huge sensation!
These people are no ordinary people; they are all shrewd and calculating. How could one not make connections when seeing these things?
That's exactly what that jerk is planning, isn't it?
By putting the diamond on her, they confirmed that she was wearing it, leaving her with no reasonable excuse to deny it!
She glanced at the man sideways.
Yan Zhixu noticed his girlfriend's gaze, turned around and smiled slightly: "What, are you hungry again?"
Liang Liangwei: "You're the one who's hungry!"
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "You just fed me, so I'm not hungry right now."
Liang Liangwei blushed and glared at him.
Dare to say it!
Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "I was talking about those pastries, what were you thinking?"
Liang Liangwei grinned and said, "I didn't say anything, how did you know what I was thinking?"
Yan Zhixu: "Oh, I thought you had a different idea from me. Are they both pastries?"
Liang Liangwei tried her best to keep smiling: "I won't argue with you for now, but you'll be in big trouble when we get home!"
Yan Zhixu chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Weiwei?!"
Liang Liangwei turned her head when she heard the familiar voice.
Xiang Ting was standing not far away, with her husband Wen Ruixing beside her. He was looking at her with a mixture of surprise and delight, and then walked towards her.
Liang Liangwei smiled, released Yan Zhixu's arm, and stepped forward as well.
"Mrs. Wen."
Xiang Ting stopped in front of her: "You're here for the party too? Why didn't you tell me?"
Liang Liangwei: "Here's a little surprise for you~"
Xiang Ting: "So that's why you moved the time up at the last minute?"
Liang Liangwei nodded.
Xiang Ting: "This is such a wonderful surprise!"
She nodded to Yan Zhixu: "Mr. Yan."
Yan Zhixu returned the greeting and nodded to Wen Ruixing.
Xiang Ting looked at Liang Liangwei's outfit and exclaimed in amazement, "My God, you're so beautiful!"
Liang Liangwei: "Likewise."
Xiang Ting also noticed her necklace, her eyes lighting up: "The Peak of the Iceberg?"
Liang Liangwei touched the diamond necklace with her hand: "Yes."
Xiang Ting glanced at Yan Zhixu, understood, and smiled meaningfully, "Mr. Yan, you're really willing to go to such lengths for you."
Liang Liangwei pursed her lips and joked, "I'm just borrowing it to wear for one night."
Yan Zhixu was clinking glasses with Wen Ruixing while holding a glass of red wine. Hearing this, she turned her head to look at her and said, "You can wear it every time you attend a public event, as long as you need to."
Liang Liangwei glared at him, while Xiang Ting covered her lips and laughed.
Several business tycoons came over to greet him, and Yan Zhixu turned his attention to them.
Xiang Ting took Liang Liangwei's hand and said, "There are some delicious snacks over there, let's go and have some."
Liang Liangwei: "Okay."
The two walked toward the food table, chatting as they went.
"President Yan is announcing your relationship with him to everyone."
Liang Liangwei had already thought of this. She figured she would be meeting the Yan family tomorrow, and it was only a matter of time before it was made public, which was why she agreed to attend the party tonight.
"I guess that counts as an official announcement."
Xiang Ting: "Tonight's guests are all big shots from all walks of life. You won't even have to wait until tomorrow for everyone to know about your relationship!"
Liang Liangwei: "Are these people really this gossipy?"
Xiang Ting: "Gossip doesn't discriminate between people. Sometimes, the upper class and ordinary people alike love to gossip."
Liang Liangwei chuckled.
Xiang Ting was a regular at cocktail parties and knew many wealthy women. When several CEOs' wives came over to greet her, she introduced Liang Liangwei to them.
"This is Mr. Yan's..."
Xiang Ting: "She is Mr. Yan's girlfriend, Miss Liang."
Liang Liangwei: "Hello."
Lady A: "Ms. Liang, I saw the reports about you and Mr. Yan online. So you really are a couple!"
Lady B: "Is your diamond necklace the pinnacle of an iceberg? It's truly exceptional, oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
Lady C: "Ms. Liang, are you a stylist? I've heard of you; you've styled many ladies and young women. Could I have your contact information? I'd like to make an appointment with you another day..."
……
In short, Liang Liangwei had a "full harvest" tonight – she added quite a few wealthy women on WeChat.
Yan Zhixu was talking with the bigwigs, but his gaze kept falling on the woman not far away.
A moment later, Xu Chaofeng walked over and whispered in his ear, "President Yan, the important person has arrived and is walking towards the conference room. Secretary-General Song wants you to come over."
Yan Zhixu nodded slightly, put the wine glass aside, apologized to the others, and walked towards Liang Liangwei.
He took off his coat and draped it over Liang Liangwei's shoulders, then whispered in her ear, "I'm going upstairs to the conference room to talk about something. You chat with your new friend for a while, and call me if you need anything."
Upon seeing him appear, the ladies fell silent instantly, all staring at him in awe of his handsome face.
Liang Liangwei turned to look at him and nodded.
Yan Zhixu raised his hand and affectionately ruffled the top of her hair.
He then politely said to Xiang Ting, "I would like to trouble Mrs. Wen to take care of Weiwei for me."
Xiang Ting smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'll take her with me."
A few people walked steadily through a hidden passage outside the hall.
The leader stared straight ahead with a solemn expression, his posture upright.
Several people followed behind him, all of them standing upright.
Military posture.
One of the attendants near the window glanced into the hall, then looked surprised. He quickly walked over to the leader and whispered, "Sir, I saw the young lady."
The leader stopped in his tracks, and everyone behind him also stopped.
He turned his head to look into the hall, and his eyes immediately fell on that figure...
She also saw the man beside her who was putting a coat on her.
