Chapter 1067
He is late
The setting sun in the distance left behind a last trace of light. In just a few minutes, that light was enveloped by the curtain of the night sky. Night had arrived.
The red light flashed, and the streets were filled with people. Ji Tianci's car was in the middle of the cars, which could originally be considered a smooth route, but after walking past a busy road, they suddenly saw a long line of people, filling the entire street up to the point that not even a drop of water could pass.
Everyone was guessing that there must have been a traffic accident or something major.
The car was moving very slowly, it took almost ten minutes for them to move a few hundred meters forward. Xi FengHan took out his phone and saw that it was out of battery a few minutes ago. This was a hotel car without a charging device.
Ji Tianci looked at his watch worriedly, his mind filled with Ouyang Mengyue's expectant voice. Coming at seven, she was waiting for him.
There were many people behind him who were hooting their pipes in annoyance, but he was able to restrain himself from doing so due to Ji Tianci's recuperation. However, the anxiety in his heart was extremely strong, and as he looked at the endless traffic jam, other than blocking here, even if he walked to the side, the nearby streets would be blocked, and he would not be able to move at all.
Ji Tianci could only take out all of his patience and wait for the cars in front to come to an end.
In the banquet hall, almost all the guests had arrived. Ouyang Burong was busy dealing with a few political leaders, while Gong Yuze was being surrounded by a few business elites, drinking a cup. Ji Anning entered a resting room to look for Ouyang Mengyue, and Ouyang Mengyue sat on the sofa, a little disappointed, looking at her phone.
"What's wrong?" Ji Anning sat beside her and asked worriedly.
Ouyang Mengyue placed the phone back into her bag, she raised her head and smiled while shaking her head, "Nothing!"
"We've left. The guests have arrived." As Ji Anning held her, he also remembered his father's and grandfather's instructions, and hoped that Ouyang Mengyue could choose the person she liked among these young talents tonight.
"Alright." It was as if Ouyang Mengyue had made a decision. She stood up, and just now, it was already past 7: 05, she couldn't help but pull out Ji Tianci's number. The person who replied her was actually off.
Ouyang Mengyue's heart suddenly dropped to the bottom of the abyss. Was he actually lying to her? He wasn't going to show up at the party at all, and she had her phone turned off.
He had had two hours to get here from the time she had called him, and he would need no more than an hour to get here at his hotel, but now, two hours later, he had not come, which meant that he was not coming.
Ji Anning and Ouyang Mengyue came out. Ouyang Burong was currently chatting with a young man in the business world. He looked at the young man who had an extraordinary demeanor and spoke in a witty manner.
Ji Anning pursed his lips and laughed, pushing her away, "Go on!"
Ouyang Mengyue perked up and walked to her father's side while holding a glass of fruit juice wine. She did not need Ouyang Burong to speak first, as the young master of politics greeted her gracefully, "Hi, hello, Miss Ouyang."
"Hello." Ouyang Mengyue greeted politely.
"Meng Yue, when I started chatting with Young Master Cheng just now, you were still classmates in the same school! He's three years older than you. Ouyang Burong laughed.
"Then I'll call you Miss Ouyang junior sister. You can call me senior, this will make you seem a bit closer to me."
Ouyang Mengyue pursed her lips and laughed, Ouyang Burong saw an old companion, and said to Ouyang Mengyue: "Xiao Yue, greet your senior, daddy will go receive an old friend."
After saying that, Ouyang Mengyue was naturally handed over to this Young Master Cheng. Ouyang Mengyue felt slightly awkward, but Young Master Cheng's gaze was especially interesting as he sized her up, full of interest.
Not far away, Ji Anning was standing beside Gong Yuze. A pair of handsome male and beautiful wall people stood around him, causing many young men and women to feel envious.
The banquet hall was bustling with noise and excitement.
On the street, Ji Tianci's car had finally moved to the scene of the incident, and sure enough, there was a serious car accident. A truck was parked at the waist, blocking the traffic on both sides of the road, causing the original four lanes to have only one lane, which was why there was a long line of traffic.
Ji Tianci's car drove out of the lane, and started to speed forward. His phone was out of battery, and the time on his watch showed that it was 7: 40, he was late.
It was as if an inexplicable conviction had pushed him to the bottom of the throttle. He wanted to rush to the banquet and not let the girl down.
The matter of Ouyang Family having two daughters was known by the guests, it was just that one of them was already known to be the owner, and the other was a young master of the Gong Family who was incalculable in terms of value, then, the other beautiful and enchanting Second Miss would become more eye-catching and popular.
Other than this Young Master Cheng who had the privilege to chat with her, a few other young men beside her also noticed Ouyang Mengyue while they were chatting. She was really beautiful tonight.
Gong Yuze and Ji Anning chose to meet some people who were not too popular on the balcony. Ji Anning did not like socializing, and his interest was not very high either. Normally, whenever he appeared, he would not need to take the initiative to look for others, as he would naturally become the center of attention.
Therefore, to him, this kind of gathering that was filled with all sorts of stars and moon, was meaningless.
If it were not for the banquet that the Ouyang Family was holding, he would not have come.
In the parking lot downstairs, Ji Tianci's car stopped at an empty spot. He picked up his phone and walked towards the lobby of the hotel with big strides.
"Sir, may I know who you are looking for?" This hotel is having a private party today. "
"I am Ji Tianci, Miss Ouyang's guest." Ji Tianci calmly replied.
"Oh!" Mr. Ji, you're here, please come in, the banquet hall is on the tenth floor. " The waiter immediately let him in, because Ouyang Mengyue had already warned him beforehand.
Ji Tianci lowered his head and strode towards the elevator, standing there and waiting for the elevator. He looked at the time again, it was 7: 55, he never expected that time would fly by so quickly, he really hoped that he could return to an hour ago.
However, he was late. He was still late.
In the banquet hall, Ouyang Mengyue and Cheng Yang had been chatting the entire time. Due to Cheng Yang's extremely good chatting skills, it caused Ouyang Mengyue to start talking to him, one after the other.
Because of the disappointment in his heart, Ouyang Mengyue would occasionally fall into a trance, but he was extremely patient and didn't mind her absent-mindedness. He picked up the things that she was interested in and stayed by her side the whole time.
