Chapter 405 Caught eavesdropping
The red carpet led all the way to the brightly lit manor. The crystal chandeliers cast shimmering shadows. The atmosphere inside was quiet and only the sound of a few people talking could be heard.
Even in the huge banquet hall, it doesn't feel noisy or harsh, not to mention the master-level piano and violin music surrounding the room, which is enough to cover up most of the vocal noises.
Zangwei walked into the banquet hall and stood still for a few seconds, looking around expectantly in an attempt to find the person he had been waiting for for a long time, but to no avail.
His tense body relaxed for a few seconds and he sighed slightly.
Although he hasn't seen her now, he will definitely see her soon. There is no need to rush. He has been waiting for such a long time, so he can wait a little longer.
Such thoughts filled his mind. He casually picked up a glass of wine, found a comfortable place to rest, and quietly waited for Ji Cheng to appear.
Luo Ruiya followed him into the banquet hall. All she saw were bigwigs from various parties. She couldn't help but feel nervous for a few seconds.
But when he thought that he represented Helati, he immediately stood up straight and his expression became confident.
On such an important occasion, she absolutely could not embarrass the young lady.
The appearance of the Rhodes family attracted a lot of people's attention.
After all, everyone knew that the Rhodes siblings, who had always been tolerant and yielding, had eradicated the cancer of their family at lightning speed and successfully sat on the position of the head of the Rhodes family. This was really surprising.
However, some people got wind of the news and knew that the Rhodes family was on the side of the Horton family, so they were not surprised that the other party could do this.
After all, there is a big boss standing behind you. Anyone who provokes you will end up like an egg hitting a stone. So why don't you be tougher?
The Rhodes family is a favorite of the Horton family. With the idea of currying favor with them, some small and medium-sized families took the initiative to seek out people from the Rhodes family to build relationships with them.
Roger knew clearly the purpose of the other party's visit. In response to the questions raised by the other party, he just expressed his friendliness and did not promise anything else.
He has not forgotten who helped their family regain its reputation.
Since the other party can support him, he can also support others in the same way.
He would never do anything that would dig his own grave; that would be foolish.
However, among those who came to see him, there were also many people in high positions and with great power. He would naturally respond to such people with a smile, after all, he never knew he would need them at some point.
Dorothy was specifically warned by her father not to run around.
But she didn't want to sit awkwardly with a group of men who were decades older than her, so she made an excuse to sneak out.
Breathing the air that was no longer oppressive, she couldn't help but smile.
It would be too boring for her to chat with a group of men who are 20 or 30 years older than her. She should find some fun on her own.
Yes, when she talked about having fun, she meant going to Oliver.
After all, there were very few people among those who came that she could recognize.
Even if she knew him, he had his own small group and she couldn't force her way in. Instead of that, it would be better for her to be alone and do whatever she wanted without any restrictions.
There is no need to force your way into a circle that you cannot fit into.
Her light-colored eyes scanned the banquet hall, but when she didn't see Oliver, she turned and walked out of the banquet hall.
Even if Oliver wasn't outside, it would be nice to get some fresh air. The banquet hall was too stuffy and hot, making it hard to breathe.
A cool breeze blew towards her, dispelling much of her boredom. There were not many people outside, and most of them were family members who came out to enjoy some quiet time.
She didn't know him either, so she found a corner by herself.
Not long after she sat down, she heard a familiar voice. She couldn't mistake this voice, it was Oliver.
The other female voice sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. After thinking for two seconds, she identified the voice with Ji Cheng.
Miss Ji's voice seems to be like this. What are they talking about?
If they were talking about some confidential information, it would be awkward for her to stay here.
When she thought of this possibility, she turned around and was about to leave, but when she took the first step, she heard Ji Cheng's question.
"What's wrong with you lately? You look abnormal." Ji Cheng was dressed in gorgeous clothes with expensive diamond jewelry around his neck. His jet-black hair bulged back, revealing a smooth forehead.
Oliver was wearing a suit and his hair was neatly groomed. When he heard Ji Cheng's question, he subconsciously retorted.
"I am fine."
Ji Cheng didn't believe him and looked him up and down. "You don't look like you're okay. Instead, you look very worried."
Oliver was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at Ji Cheng in astonishment, "Is it so obvious?"
Ji Cheng asked, "So what happened?"
Oliver stared at the inquiring look on the other person's face, feeling a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether he should say anything.
"I seem to have fallen in love with someone..." He said it very uncertainly, even a little hesitantly.
When Ji Cheng heard his words, a look of joy appeared on his face. He confirmed his words and asked again.
"This is a good thing. What is there to be confused about?"
When Oliver thought of Dorothy's bright smile, his heart beat faster, but when Ji Cheng asked him, he couldn't explain it.
I just felt an indescribable feeling spreading in my heart.
In fact, he has always been paying attention to Dorothy, but she seemed to have disappeared from his sight for a few days some time ago, and he felt a little empty.
But he couldn't ask the other person where he had gone, so he could only digest this emotion alone.
The more he thought about it, the more he seemed unable to digest it, and his thoughts were out of control.
But soon Dorothy came back, her attitude was not as enthusiastic as before, and he had an indescribable feeling.
"Which family does the girl belong to? Do I know her?" Ji Cheng looked at the frowning Oliver and asked curiously.
Dorothy wanted to leave, but when she heard what Oliver said, she was stunned.
She couldn't imagine that Oliver actually had someone he liked. Who was she then? Should she just withdraw from his world?
When she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
My feet, which were about to leave, felt as if they were filled with lead and were too heavy to lift. My mind was full of thoughts and I thought of countless possibilities.
Just as she stood there in a daze, she heard footsteps approaching with a hint of displeasure.
"What are you eavesdropping on?"
——The Little Theatre of Thoughts
Dorothy: Let me hear it!
Oliver: I am too embarrassed to admit that I like my wife~
Ji Cheng: What happened? Please tell me in detail.
