Chapter 26 Greed
Quan Shijin has never been interested in a life of luxury, but he cannot refuse some necessary social engagements and interactions.

Song Chao took the invitation letter for the charity dinner and went over, "Shijin, I've put the invitation letter for tomorrow night's charity dinner on the table for you."

Quan Shijin responded in a light tone, like the wind, ethereal and easily dissipated.

Most of the time, Song Chao felt that Quan Shijin was not like a member of the Quan family. He was too dull and indifferent. He did not have such a strong desire for power and seemed to have no interest in anything.

Taking over Intercontinental Bank seemed to be just a matter of interest, without any particular purpose.

But sometimes, especially now, he felt that Quan Shijin might be the craziest one in the Quan family.

Who would want to have an affair with a married woman for no reason?

Before he left, he seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at Quan Shijin, smiling, "Some time ago, my aunt called me and asked why you didn't go back after such a long time in Beijing. Are you really too busy, or are you just having fun?"

Hearing this, Quan Shijin finally reacted a little and turned his head to look at him, "So what did you say in reply?"

Song Chao smiled, "I said I would not betray you, so naturally I didn't say anything, but for the most precious and beloved child of the Quan family, it doesn't matter what you play, what matters is whether you have crossed the line."

At this point, he paused, "I think the rumors about you carrying Wen Ruoci to the hospital may have reached my aunt's ears."

Song Chao didn't say much. Even the Quan family couldn't control this person, so what qualifications did he have to do so?

He said this just as a reminder.

After Song Chao left, Quan Shijin seemed a little tired. He sat on the chair and dozed off for a while. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he opened his eyes, opened the drawer, and took out a photo from it.

The photos are very old and you can tell they are often taken out.

There was a little girl in the photo, which he had taken secretly. She had shoulder-length hair and was sitting on the grass. She didn't seem to care at all about getting her expensive princess dress dirty.

Although she is beautiful, she just doesn't look very happy.

My fingers accidentally scraped it.

The suffocating and intense pain spread throughout my body again.

Quan Shijin put the photo back into the drawer.

At first, he thought that as long as she was still alive, it would be fine, but everyone is greedy, just like he is gradually beginning to be dissatisfied with just seeing her...

........................

At night, the moon is still high in the sky.

Wen Ruoci couldn't sleep and she didn't really want to take sleeping pills.

When I saw the Koenigsegg parked downstairs, I got excited and went downstairs and got in.

With my chin resting on the steering wheel, I thought of Quan Shijin unexpectedly.

She did not immediately deny what Zhou Heng said to her at that time, probably because she had some thoughts in mind.

She has so many reasons to pursue Quan Shijin.

If she wanted to divorce He Ci, the only person who could help her get out of this unscathed was probably Quan Shijin.

Not to mention, she had an inexplicable trust in him, and she could even sleep peacefully as long as she stayed by his side.

What's more, being close to him could stimulate her memory from time to time.

only……

Does she really want to gamble?
To gamble on this unpredictable future...

She was thinking about all these messy things and fell asleep for no apparent reason.

The consequence of sleeping in the car for a night is that your whole body feels sore.

She returned to the apartment, but found that there was no movement next door. Xiao Nanxin did not come back last night.

The eldest daughter is rich and has lots of free time, and no one knows where she went yesterday.

She didn't pay much attention.

Went back to the room and took a shower.

After taking a shower, she felt less uncomfortable, so she found her drawing board and palette.

When she is not calm enough, she will draw and write.

These two things were probably what she persisted on the longest in the first half of her life.

She didn't know what to paint, and after she finished painting, she realized that she had actually painted Quan Shijin.

She herself was quite surprised. She and he had only met a few times, so how could she remember him so well?

She wanted to tear up the painting directly, but finally couldn't bear to do so, so she put it aside, changed a piece of drawing paper, and continued.

I forgot about the time for a moment until Assistant Xu came and knocked on the door.

"Madam, are you home? Mr. He sent me to pick you up."

Hearing the sound, Wen Ruoci went to open the door.

He Ci did not come to pick her up in person, but sent his assistant.

Wen Ruoci was somewhat relieved.

She and He Ci felt uncomfortable staying in such a cramped space in the car.

"Wait for me for a moment, I'll go and clean up."

Assistant Xu looked at Wen Ruoci's face and hands, which were still stained with a trace of paint, and was quite respectful. "Madam, take your time to clean up. I'm not in a hurry."

Wen Ruoci said "hmm" and added, "From now on, just call me Miss Wen, no need to call me Madam."

Assistant Xu paused for a moment, remembering the rumors between He Ci and Wen Ruoci, and responded, "Yes."

Wen Ruoci simply tidied herself up, which meant just washing the paint and changing her clothes.

"Okay, let's go."

The car quickly arrived at the hotel and the stylist was waiting there.

The stylist had heard of Wen Ruoci's name early in the morning. When he heard that he was going to do styling for Wen Ruoci today, he had been looking forward to it all day.

While putting makeup on her, she exclaimed, "Miss Wen, your skin is the best I've ever seen."

This kind of skin is as white as white jade, and there are almost no pores on it.

There was no expression on Wen Ruoci's face. She was like a puppet, allowing the stylist to manipulate her.

Until finally putting the necklace on her to complete the look.

She glanced at herself in the mirror.

I don’t know whether it was prepared by the stylist or by He Ci.

In the past, He Ci would not allow her to wear such a revealing dress.

The dress she wore today had a deep V cut, which gave her a more seductive vibe than her usual cool look.

She didn't feel anything, but the stylist and Assistant Xu were both stunned.

The stylist exclaimed “Wow” several times, “Honey, you must be the most beautiful one in the audience today.”

Assistant Xu nodded in silent approval.

He had always known that Wen Ruoci was very beautiful, but he had never thought that she could be so beautiful after dressing up.

He had also seen Zhou Ying dressed up several times. Although Miss Zhou was known as a little gentle and charming girl, she was really no match for the real girl.

He was a little confused. Why did he not like his own wife but had to like that fake one?

He felt that his boss didn't know what was good.

He Ci seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting, so he came over and asked, "Are you done?"

The stylist brought He Ci to Wen Ruoci, her face full of excitement, "Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

He Ci looked at Wen Ruoci, who was radiant with light in front of him. His pupils shrank slightly and his eyes changed several times, but soon returned to their usual evil look.

"Satisfied, very satisfied, but I think they will be even more satisfied when they see it."

they?

The stylist felt a little puzzled, but didn't dare say much.

He Ci pulled Wen Ruoci towards him. She was wearing high heels and almost fell into his arms. She finally managed to keep her footing.

She looked at He Ci with some displeasure, "What are you doing?"

The man took her waist and put his lips next to her ear. He said in a voice that only she could hear, "I heard that besides Pei Yan, Quan Shijin will also be here today. What expressions do you think they will have when they see you?"
