Chapter 207 He and She Are Shining
Nangong Jin spent the long night in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. The next day, before dawn, when stars could still be seen in the sky, the hotel housekeeper was already waiting in the dressing room with a team of makeup artists.
Nangong Jin looked at the man in front of him sleepily, "Brother, why are you here?"
Nangong Hao looked at Nangong Jin who was still confused, and helplessly reached out and knocked on her head: "A large group of people are waiting for you there, go wash up and eat something, otherwise, prepare to starve!"
Nangong Jin then took his time to wash up, then dozed off while eating. Nangong Hao frowned as he watched, "You didn't sleep last night?!"
"I slept. Maybe I recognize my bed." She answered guiltily. She didn't dare to say that she recognized the person.
"That kid Qi Qin asked me to be your flower protector, but looking at your appearance, no one would be interested in you..."
Nangong Jin looked at him resentfully. Is this still his biological brother? So cold-blooded.
"Miss, please go and choose your dress first, because the makeup artist will style you according to the dress later."
"OK, all right."
Nangong Jin stood up hurriedly and followed the butler. They soon arrived at the cloakroom. To be more precise, the dresses inside were even better than those in the store.
"These are the latest haute couture dresses from major brands this season. Can you see if there are any suitable ones?"
Nangong Jin looked at the colorful dresses in front of her and felt a little overwhelmed. Her eyes were attracted by a white dress. It was simple and she liked it very much.
"That one, okay?"
The housekeeper looked in the direction of her finger and was a little surprised. That was the one specially chosen by the eldest young master. He didn't expect that they both had the same taste. "Of course! Go over there and put on your makeup first, I'll take it down for you."
Nangong Hao just kept waiting by the side for five hours. He finally couldn't help it and said, "Nangong Jin, are you putting on makeup or having a plastic surgery? Does it take so long?"
"Brother, He Wenna has made you wait a lot when she goes out, why do you always complain about me, humph!"
Hearing the other party talking about He Wenna, Nangong Hao shut up obediently, but Nangong Jin seemed to notice something and curled his lips slightly, "Brother, when are you going to get married?"
"Wait until you get married!"
Nangong Jin curled his lips: "What does it have to do with me? You can get married, I'm not that fast."
"Didn't He Zichen come back?! What? Did he bully you?" Nangong Hao looked like he wanted to seek justice for her, which made Nangong Jin laugh.
"No, he has lost his memory and his body hasn't recovered yet. Don't bother him."
Nangong Hao looked at his sister's protective look, thought of the ups and downs between them, and finally just snorted.
When Nangong Jin changed her clothes and appeared in front of him again, he suddenly felt that makeup could be more powerful than plastic surgery.
"Brother, why are you in a daze? Don't you recognize it's me?"
"Nangong Jin, you'd better stay with me tonight and don't run around." Nangong Hao's expression was a little solemn. That kid Qi Qin just had nothing to do and always made trouble for himself.
Nangong Jin actually liked the dress she was wearing, but because the skirt was a bit long and she was wearing high heels, she could only hold Nangong Hao's hand and follow him closely.
When they arrived at the gate of the Qi family in a special car, there were already countless top luxury cars parked outside the gate. Because it was an invitation-only banquet, only the rich or noble came here.
"Brother, are those cars parked outside very expensive?"
Nangong Hao looked at Nangong Jin who looked innocent, "It's not a matter of money, it's the identity and status that one represents, which may not be bought even with money. What? Are you nervous?"
"No, you're with me!"
Nangong Hao knew very well in his heart that their family background could not allow them to enter this class, and the natural sense of superiority of those people always made people feel uncomfortable.
Led by the waiter, they finally arrived at the main venue. When Nangong Jin appeared, the light just happened to shine on her, which immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
Under the light, her skin is as white as cream, her eyes are bright and her teeth are white. Her hair is piled high, revealing her beautiful swan neck. The white satin dress glitters under the light, and the shawl on her shoulders moves with her, making her look even more otherworldly.
"Brother, don't I look good in what I wear today? Why are they all looking at me?"
Nangong Hao felt that Nangong Jin really had a huge misunderstanding of her own beauty, and he didn't even want to answer this stupid question.
Nangong Hao pulled Nangong Jin into his arms, avoiding the prying eyes of those people, "Just stay here with me!"
At this time, they came to the corner of the banquet hall. Nangong Jin nodded and had no objection. She leaned on the other's arm and looked at the people at the banquet. There were not many people she knew in the crowd, and most of them were foreigners. At this time, there was a commotion at the door.
A gray-haired old man, wearing a Tang suit, walked in with a cane, looking energetic. Next to him was a man in a black velvet suit decorated with sequins. The man had a cool and handsome face, and the perfect tailoring of the suit made him look luxurious and low-key.
Nangong Jin was staring at him intently, almost drooling. Nangong Hao couldn't help but clear his throat to remind her: "Nangong Jin, pay attention to your image! Didn't you just meet him? Is it necessary to be like this?"
"Brother, it's different. He Zichen looks so good today. Oh, how can someone be so good-looking? Don't you think so?"
At this moment, Nangong Hao really wanted to stay away from his lovelorn sister. She was such a loser.
As soon as He Zichen entered the room, his eyes were drawn to Nangong Jin in the corner. The two of them were facing each other from a distance, and He Zichen's face softened rarely.
The shrewd Lin Hai followed his line of sight and glanced at Nangong Jin in the corner. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of amazement in his eyes, but that was all. In his opinion, only the most top-notch family background was worthy of his grandson.
As soon as they entered the venue, Qi Xue hurried over to greet them. Today she was wearing a smoky pink embroidered puffy skirt, looking very dignified and beautiful.
"Grandpa Lin, you're here," she blushed as she looked at He Zichen, "Hello, Brother Zichen!"
"Xue'er, you are so beautiful today. You are worthy of being a lady from a noble family. Zichen, stay with Xue'er today. She is your female companion today."
He Zichen's eyebrows immediately turned cold. He was very resistant to Lin Hai's self-assertion. He looked at Nangong Jin again. When he was about to walk towards him, Lin Hai's intimidating voice came from behind him:
"Zi Chen, you don't have the ability to protect her right now. Are you sure you want to do this?"
The people around were toasting and chatting happily, but He Zichen just felt that the hypocrisy on their faces was disgusting. He clenched his fists, retracted the step he had just taken, and returned to Lin Hai with an expressionless face.
Of course Qi Xue noticed the other party's abnormality. She couldn't help but look at the woman in the corner. A huge sense of crisis came over her. That was his so-called fiancée?
Nangong Hao saw through the clues at a glance. As expected, these people liked to play the trick of marrying the strong into one. He couldn't help but look at Nangong Jin. Only his sister was still stupid. Oh, it was really a headache!
