Chapter 120 Evening Dress
Chapter 120 Evening Dress
Xu Chen carefully took out a beautifully packaged expensive suit from the wardrobe and gently placed it on the bed. Then, with a broad smile on his face, he said to Qin Nuo, "Come on, Qin Nuo, put on this suit. It will surely make you the most dazzling man at the dinner tonight."
However, Qin Nuo's face was as gloomy as water. He sat there motionless and responded coldly: "I said, I won't go! Don't bother me anymore!"
Seeing this, Xu Chen hurried forward and began to persuade him earnestly, "My dear, this is no joke! This dinner is very important. All the business elites in Sydney will be there. Just think about it, this is such a rare opportunity! Even if you just show up, more people will recognize your existence and strength. I'll take care of everything else, don't worry! You know, in the business world, connections are the most valuable resource. We must not miss such a great opportunity to expand our network!"
After hearing this, Qin Nuo remained unmoved. He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with resistance and disdain. He snorted coldly and said, "Humph! A dinner party? What kind of people can you meet at that kind of occasion? They are nothing but a bunch of deceitful and hypocritical guys!"
Xu Chen was really anxious now, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly explained: "Hey, Qin Nuo, don't jump to conclusions. I just received a call from Andrew himself. It is said that he recently intends to invest in game development projects. You know, this is your area of expertise! Let's just give him face and contact him. Maybe we can make a big deal! Please, change your clothes quickly!" As he said, Xu Chen picked up the suit and prepared to help Qin Nuo put it on.
Qin Nuo frowned tightly, as if two dark lines were drawn across his forehead, and for a long time, he refused to relax. After a lot of inner struggle and weighing, he finally chose to compromise helplessly.
Xu Chen, standing by, kept telling him, "You have to remember this: today you represent the entire Shenghai Group. You absolutely cannot act recklessly!"
Qin Nuo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile. He said with a wry smile, "Although Sheng Hai may be somewhat famous in China, this is Sydney. Haha, how many people would know about it? I really don't understand why I should waste my energy dealing with those irrelevant people!"
Hearing this, Xu Chen gently pushed his glasses up on his nose and responded seriously, "Although Shenghai Group's main business is real estate, you should know that the real estate market can't remain hot forever. There will always be a downturn. So from now on, you must be forward-looking and consider how to implement a diversified development strategy. Do you think that the old man went to so much trouble to send you abroad just so that you can marry Zhou Yutong? Don't be naive! The Zhou family sent that girl here just to find investors!"
After hearing this, Qin Nuo fell into a brief silence, as if the air around him had frozen. Then, without a word, he walked to his wardrobe and quickly changed into his well-tailored black suit. After changing, he picked up his phone and sent a short message to Bai Nini, letting her know he was going out to run some errands. Then, without hesitation, he followed Xu Chen out of the room.
Meanwhile, at the bustling racecourse, Zhou Yutong was riding a snow-white steed in a fierce contest with a man. They had already engaged in several rounds, each one exceedingly grueling. Zhou Yutong felt a searing pain in her inner thigh, a burning sensation that constantly irritated her nerves.
She secretly groaned inwardly, thinking: It must be the excessive friction while riding that has rubbed the skin on the inside of her thighs. Not only that, her buttocks also throbbed from the long hours of being jolted by the horse's back, and the pain was almost unbearable for her.
However, despite the immense discomfort in her body, Zhou Yutong still managed to keep a smile on her face. When she heard Andrew praise her performance, she endured the pain and squeezed out an even brighter smile in response.
But only she herself knew that at this moment she was already in great pain. This horse race was simply a torture for her, making her feel that life was worse than death.
Finally, Andrew led them to a luxurious styling shop. The interior was exquisitely decorated, exuding a strong sense of fashion. Zhou Yutong followed the clerk into the fitting room to change into her evening gown.
As she took off her clothes, her eyes accidentally swept across her inner thighs, and she gasped. She saw that the skin there was completely broken, and some places even oozing blood, which looked shocking. However, there was no turning back at this moment. She could only grit her teeth, endure the pain, and slowly put on the fishtail-style evening dress.
Andrew carefully selected this evening dress, believing it would perfectly showcase Zhou Yutong's elegance and charm. However, Zhou Yutong originally wanted an evening dress with a full skirt, as that would not only better cover her injured thigh and alleviate discomfort, but also give her a flowing and romantic feel.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. The evening dress she was wearing was extremely form-fitting, wrapping around her body like a second layer of skin, outlining her curvy figure without reservation.
This should have been a moment of pride and confidence, but for Zhou Yutong, it became a nightmare. With every step, her skirt rubbed against her scarred thighs, causing a sharp pain. Despite this, she tried hard to smile, hiding her pain from others.
Andrew gently took Zhou Yutong's soft little hand and led her slowly to a luxurious villa that looked like a dream. The villa stood in a lush garden, surrounded by neatly trimmed bushes and gorgeous flowers, exuding a noble and mysterious atmosphere.
At this moment, Andrew slightly tilted his head, gazing affectionately at Zhou Yutong, who was holding his arm affectionately beside him, and said softly in an extremely gentle tone, "Dear! This dinner tonight is extraordinary. The attendees are all well-known elites in Sydney's business community! So, you must perform well and be my most perfect and charming female companion!"
