Chapter 8 

On Thursday night, the charity dinner was held as scheduled.

The banquet was set up in a five-star hotel under the Lu Group, and the people present were basically well-known figures in Yucheng, and some business celebrities came from other places to participate.

The hotel was chartered by the organizer, and after the banquet, guests in need can receive a free room card and rest in the hotel room for the night.

At half past seven in the evening, Qin Jia followed Qin Mo and Shen Yushu into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall is large, with a stage at the front and seats under the stage, and each seat is labeled with a nameplate, so that guests can check in.

At this time, the donation activity has not officially started, and it is free time. People gathered on the outdoor lawn next to the ballroom, which was beautifully decorated and surrounded by flowers, balloons and illuminations, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Although she had practiced at home for two days, Qin Jia was still not used to walking in high heels. She took Qin Mo's arm and moved forward. By the time they reached the entrance of the lawn, Shen Yushu had long since disappeared.

Qin Jia looked around and asked Qin Mo, "Xiaomo, where did our mother go?"

Qin Mo was told by Shen Yushu to keep it secret, he thought about it and didn't say anything, and said half-truthfully: "There are a lot of business bigwigs here today, and she went to make friends." Sister, you know, our mother is a careeraholic.

Qin Jia thought thoughtfully, "Oh."

As far as the eye can see, there are strangers everywhere. Men and women dressed in smart dresses, each with a glass of champagne, chatting enthusiastically and laughing.

Qin Jia flinched a little, she gathered her shawl, and the hand that grabbed Qin Mo's arm tightened unconsciously.

"Then we ......" Qin Jia took a deep breath and looked up at Qin Mo, "What are we going to do next?"

Qin Mo curled the corners of his lips and smiled indifferently, "If you want, you can socialize like everyone else present." If you don't want to, find a place to sit and eat something you like."

"Sister, which one do you choose?" He asked.

Qin Jia was dizzy, and she chose the second one without hesitation. Qin Mo smiled and took her to the sofa chair in the corner to sit down. Then he walked to the food section, picked up some snacks and small cakes, and put them on two plates on the table in front of her.

After putting the porcelain plate away, Qin Mo looked down at the tabletop, always feeling that there was still something missing.

He turned around, looked at the food area, turned his head and asked Qin Jia, "What do you want to drink?"

Qin Jia looked at the champagne in people's hands, and was a little eager to try: "I want to drink that."

 The environment was noisy, her voice was a little small, Qin Mo couldn't hear it clearly, he bent down and leaned forward, "Which one do you want?" Show me.

Qin Jia pointed to the champagne piled up on a hill not far away, and Qin Mo immediately shook his head, "No." 

"Sister, alcohol hurts your body. Qin Mo looked at her and emphasized repeatedly, "You can't drink it."

Qin Jia blinked her apricot eyes, "Really?

Qin Mo was strict: "Champagne is not good, fruit juice, coffee, or corn juice, you can choose."

Qin Jia sat upright and was serious: "Xiaomo,  I want to drink champagne, just take a sip."

"Just one sip, okay?"

Qin Mo was helpless, he sat down opposite her and argued with her, "Sister, you used to drink poorly, and would get drunk over a glass of low-alcohol fruit beer." 

The banquet ends at ten o'clock, and if you stay asleep all the time," he said, raising his hand to wipe his neck, "Ms. Shen will not let me go."

Qin Jia still tried to struggle, "If I don't drink much, I should be fine with one sip, right?"

Qin Mo: "Not a drop."

"Have you forgotten last night?

Referring to last night, Qin Jia still had palpitations, she laughed dryly twice, and said, "I'll just drink orange juice, please help me get it." 

Last night, the housekeeping aunt made osmanthus wine, she tried to drink a few sips, put down the spoon and her head began to dizzy. Later, she ran to the yard alone, hugged the locust tree and called her grandmother many times.

She woke up this morning, and Qin Mo showed her the video. In the video, she hugged the locust tree and poured bitter water, and kept saying that she wanted to go back to the forest.

The worst thing is that many people surrounded her, and they all heard what she said.

Qin Jia's first reaction after watching the video was to be happy, glad that everyone thought she was crazy from the alcohol. Otherwise, she would end up in either a psychiatric hospital or a science laboratory.

It's like in the movies.

Qin Jia bit the straw, took a sip of sweet and sour orange juice, and looked up at Qin Mo: "Xiaomo, if you want to chat, just go and chat, don't worry about me." Don't worry, I'm just here and I'm not going anywhere.

Qin Mo hesitated: "But, Mom asked me to follow you every step of the way......"

Qin Jia: "Isn't she here, and it won't be long since she was free, you hurry up."

Qin Mo got up, "Then I'll go."

Qin Jia nodded, narrowed her eyes lightly, picked up a fork and took a small piece of rose rice cake, and slowly put it in her mouth.

The rice cake has a sweet taste mixed with the taste of roses, leaving a faint fragrance between the lips and teeth. Qin Jia finished eating what was in her mouth, and then ate another bite.

Qin Jia sat in this position with a good view, looking up, she could see the stars twinkling and the breeze blowing, bringing the fragrance of roses by the courtyard wall, which was refreshing.

She tasted another mung bean cake, put down her fork, and held her cheeks to admire the night overhead.

Qin Jia wandered away from the crowd, enjoying this moment comfortably, everything seemed to be beautiful.

However, what she didn't know was that a few meters away from her, several Yucheng celebrities were secretly talking about her and gossiping about her.

"Do you know which daughter the girl Qin Shao brought? I don't remember her at all. "

I heard that she is Zhen Yuan's jewelry designer, and her family background is quite ordinary, and she doesn't seem to have any background.

"An ordinary little white-collar worker can allow Qin Mo to bypass his terrible mother and spend millions to buy a skirt, which is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Millions? Frost, you heard that right?

"That's absolutely right, the skirt is the new haute couture of the V family, and there is only one in Yucheng." Xu Shuang said, "I asked the clerk when I was visiting the mall yesterday, and she said that the skirt was bought by Qin Mo's girlfriend.

"But isn't this a charity dinner, isn't it crazy for her to dress so high-profile? When the time comes, she won't even be able to donate a fraction of the skirt, isn't it a joke?

"Hey, wait and see, Qin Shao is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

"Oh yes. "

"......"

A few people talked about Qin Jia and when they saw Luo Shiqing next to her, they couldn't help but cue her: "Shiqing, why are you so unrelenting?" Are you feeling unwell?

Luo Shiqing shook her head when she heard this, and shook her hand lightly Tall glass, tilted her head and took a sip of champagne.

The refreshing fruity fragrance spread in her mouth, she pursed her lips and said, "No, I'm just thinking about what kind of state I should face Lu Tingzhou when I see him later."
