Chapter 443 We had a baby kiss!

Chapter 443 We had a baby kiss!

Li Yunhai returned home and saw Guo Wanhua, Lin Zhi, and Shen Xiulan playing mahjong.

When he entered the house, no one paid attention to him.

Li Yunhai came over and watched them play.

He saw several gold-painted invitations on the table, picked them up, looked at them, and asked, "Where do these come from?"

Lin Zhi glanced at it and said: "Someone sent it tonight, saying that we were invited to attend a banquet of some kind. The person said a lot of words, and I didn't hear clearly what he said. It was all written on the invitation. Come on, see for yourself."

Guo Wanhua played a mahjong card and said with a smile: "This is a night banquet for famous families in Xiangjiang. It is held to welcome Princess Diana. You are so rich, of course I have to invite you."

Lin Zhi touched the cards and said, "I don't want to go. I rarely come to Xiangjiang once a year, and I'm not familiar with the people here. There must be many rules for this kind of famous night banquet. I don't want to be restrained, so why not go there?" I feel comfortable playing cards at home. Yunhai, go alone!"

Li Yunhai opened the invitation and looked at it. Sure enough, his name was written on it, as well as the time and place of the night banquet.

"Where is this place between Albert Road in the middle of the mountain and Lower Albert Road?" Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua.

"That's the Government House." Guo Wanhua also received the invitation and naturally knew where it was. "Important receptions and banquets are held there. It's just behind the HSBC Headquarters Building, and then across Queen's Road Central to Garden Road. It’s just a short walk along the Garden Road.”

"You're not going either?" Li Yunhai asked with a smile.

"I don't want to go. I don't know how many of these banquets I have to attend every year, and I'm tired of it. Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and Mei Lin is coming back. How about you take Mei Lin to have a better experience?"

"Ah? Shall I take Meilin?"

"You have to have a female companion by your side."

"Oh, are you three sure you don't want to go?"

Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan would definitely not go. It would be less fun than expected to have a party with a group of complete strangers.

Guo Wanhua gave the opportunity to her daughter.

After they finished the game, Li Yunhai also joined in.

The four of them had fun and then took a break.

The next day, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua came to inspect the company and visited the building under construction in Causeway Bay.

This construction project, named "Sihai International Building" by Li Yunhai, will also become the center of Sihai Group's global headquarters in the future.

Several buildings under construction by Sihai Group will be completed one after another.

The first one to be completed is the Sihai Center in Xizhou, which will be opened next year.

After the inspection, Li Yunhai and Guo Wanhua took the car home.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and Li Yunhai held Guo Wanhua's hand.

Guo Wanhua's hand was obviously startled, but she didn't struggle. She just looked at him with gentle eyes.

Li Yunhai squeezed her hand and said, "Sister, is this the end between us?"

Guo Wanhua smiled slightly and said: "It's always been like this between us! Don't you think this is good? Yunhai, do you think we feel like family members?"

Li Yunhai shook his head helplessly, thinking that Guo Wanhua had really seen through life and no longer obsessed with wealth and prosperity.

Not just feelings, she can also be indifferent even in places like wealthy night banquets.

When they returned home, Chen Meilin had already returned from school.

After Chen Meilin went to college, her image and temperament changed greatly.

Her clothes are actually very ordinary, just an orange T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, her long hair hangs down naturally, and she wears a pair of old sneakers, but she looks... , but exceptionally youthful and fresh, giving you a beautiful feeling just looking at it.

"Brother Yunhai!" Chen Meilin felt a natural affection for Li Yunhai when she saw him. She rushed forward, hugged Li Yunhai, and touched his face intimately.

Li Yunhai felt her deep attachment and was very moved. He patted her back and said, "Meilin, you have been admitted to college and I haven't given you a gift yet. What do you want?"

Chen Meilin flashed her beautiful big eyes: "Will you give me everything I want?"

"Of course, as long as I can afford it."

"Let me think about it!"

"Okay, think about it slowly and tell me when you think about it."

Guo Wanhua called her daughter upstairs and asked her to change into an evening dress. This was a long suspender skirt that not only showed her sexy figure but also her elegant temperament.

She helped her daughter style her hair and put on jewelry.

When Chen Meilin appeared in front of Li Yunhai again, she gave people a sense of surprise.

Just now she was the girl next door, but now she has become a beautiful and noble princess.

Li Yunhai also changed into a suit and leather shoes.

To attend this kind of dinner, you must wrap yourself up in clothes that look luxurious but actually restrict your body.

This is also the reason why Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan, who are used to being free and loose, are unwilling to participate in such activities.

Chen Meilin is still young and comes from a wealthy family. She is still full of beautiful yearning for this kind of social occasion.

Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin set off for the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

"Brother, am I okay looking like this?" Chen Meilin adjusted her dress from time to time and asked Li Yunhai a little shyly.

"Very good." Li Yunhai said, "Remember, confident women are the most beautiful. You also have the capital to be confident."

"Because I am Li Yunhai's sister!"

"Haha, because you are Chen Wanzhao's daughter."

"My damn dad? Forget it! He has been dead for so many years, who still remembers him? Besides, when he was alive, my family's wealth was not as much as yours."

The car arrived at the place quickly.

The guard at the door let the car go as soon as he saw it.

The number of people attending this banquet is limited. Those who can come here are invited, and they are either rich or noble.

The guard only needs to take a look at the grade and license plate of the car to know whether to let it go.

Zhuang Yong got out of the car and helped Li Yunhai open the door.

Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin got out of the car.

Chen Meilin held Li Yunhai's arm, with a slight smile on her lips, and followed him dignifiedly and elegantly.

There is a master of ceremonies at the entrance of the main hall, and every guest who enters must hand over his or her invitation.

The emcee took the invitation, took a look at it, and then shouted loudly, Mr. and Ms. Such-and-such company, such-and-such unit, are here.

When the master of ceremonies called out the name of Mr. Li Yunhai, the president of Sihai Group, many people who were already present turned their heads and looked over.

Xiangjiang Sihai Group is listed in Hong Kong and now has a market value of more than HK$300 billion.

With this market capitalization, it cannot be considered a top large enterprise in Xiangjiang, but it is still ranked high.

It's just that Li Yunhai is rarely in Xiangjiang and rarely appears in public, so he is not familiar to people.

Therefore, when Li Yunhai appeared, there was a small discussion at the scene.

"He is Mr. Li of Sihai Group? Isn't he too young?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young and promising!"

"It looks okay, right? He's not too young! Mr. Liu of Xiangjiang Zhengcheng Group is younger than him! He also has tens of billions of assets."

"Liu Jiale, the CEO of Zhengcheng Group, inherited his father's business. After his father died, his son inherited the family business. But Mr. Li of Sihai Group started from scratch! It's completely different for a rich second generation to create a new generation."

"I've heard about it a long time ago. Mr. Li is a legendary figure. He is indeed very powerful!"

"He runs a technology company. Regardless of the current high market value, it is actually a bubble! The bubble in high-tech companies is too serious."

"Sihai Group also has industry, real estate, and manufacturing. It is different from ordinary high-tech companies. This is not a leather company!"

Li Yunhai didn't expect that his appearance would cause such a big response.

Chen Meilin beside him has also become the subject of heated discussion.

"Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin are together? Could it be that they are a couple?"

"It's possible! The man is talented and the woman is beautiful!"

People in Xiangjiang did not know about Li Yunhai's marriage in the mainland.

And when he and Chen Meilin stand together, they are indeed a good match.

Even Chen Meilin thought so, so when she heard someone praising her and Li Yunhai as a couple, Fang was even secretly happy.

After Li Yunhai entered the door, he nodded and greeted everyone who looked at him, regardless of whether he knew them or not. Since others looked at him, of course he had to return the favor.

Fortunately, people's attention quickly shifted to the next group of guests.

The person who came was the new head of the Zhengcheng Group, Liu Jiale.

Liu Jiale is indeed young, only around 20 years old. His dress is much more flamboyant than that of his contemporary Li Yunhai. He looks like he belongs to a wealthy family. The brand names all over his body are worth at least more than 10 million. That watch on your wrist is worth millions.

As soon as he appeared, some young girls at the scene immediately screamed.

Several beautifully dressed women ran up to chat with Liu Jiale.

However, Chen Meilin only stood next to Li Yunhai, turning a blind eye to this son of a billionaire family.

Liu Jiale is very popular. Ladies want to introduce him to the girls around them, and men also want to make friends with this newly minted billionaire.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Meilin, this man is very nice. Why don't you go up and get acquainted with him?"

Chen Meilin then turned to look at Liu Jiale and said, "I think he is very ordinary and frizzy, just like a young boy. He doesn't have the air of a rich man at all."

Li Yunhai also saw a few familiar people. Li Jiacheng, Yi Yifu and others were all present. When people meet, they shake hands, say hello, and chat a few words.

On such an occasion, it is impossible to talk about business or private matters. All that is said is nothing more than formal talk.

Liu Jiale, the youngest billionaire, was in the limelight until the dinner started. It wasn't until the prince and princess appeared that everyone's attention was stolen by the real host.

As soon as the prince and princess appeared, they immediately became the central figures like stars holding the moon.

All participants are present.

The Governor delivered a welcome speech, and then the dinner began.

The banquet was of course of the highest standard, with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Li Yunhai ate a little and felt that the taste was too bland, so he didn't eat more.

But Chen Meilin ate with gusto.

This kind of dinner is as light as possible in order to take into account the eating habits of as many people as possible.

Li Yunhai was used to eating heavy-flavored dishes in Xizhou, so he couldn't stomach some of them.

Half of the table they were sitting at was British, and he knew no one. After introducing each other, there was nothing in common to talk about.

Li Yunhai understood why Guo Wanhua didn't come.

The banquet lasted for a long time, like watching a gorgeous, boring and lengthy big-budget movie.

The party is finally over.

Li Yunhai breathed a sigh of relief.

After the banquet is the dance.

Li Yunhai brought his own dance partner, which saved a lot of energy. He held Chen Meilin's hand and started dancing.

Those who came without a dance partner could only search the venue for a suitable partner.

Normally, on such occasions, most people would not refuse an invitation to dance if there is no special reason.

If you really want to reject someone rudely, it will appear very rude and will also make the person involved very embarrassed. The worst thing is to dance to a song first, and then find a reason to change people for the next song.

So everyone quickly found a dance partner.

The huge living room was packed with people dancing.

After dancing a song, Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin sat down to rest.

Chen Meilin brought a glass of brandy and said, "Brother, I'm in college now, can I drink?"

Li Yunhai said: "You drink! Didn't you already drink when you were eating just now?"

Chen Meilin said: "The red wine I drank just now is an aperitif. That one is not considered real wine, but this one is."

She smiled sweetly and said: "Brother, let's have a drink together?"

Li Yunhai asked: "Where did you learn this? Did you learn this at a young age?"

Chen Meilin grabbed his hand: "Come one!"

Li Yunhai had a drink with her.

Chen Meilin finished her glass of wine, and her face immediately became extremely charming.

At this time, Liu Jiale suddenly walked up to Chen Meilin and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner: "Miss Chen, please dance."

Chen Meilin pointed to her nose and asked, "Do you know me?"

Liu Jiale said: "Of course I know you. You are Chen Wanzhao's daughter, and your name is Chen Meilin. Before your father passed away, you and my father were good friends. I heard my father say that we had a baby kiss before."

Chen Meilin chuckled and said: "Baby kiss? How come I've never heard of it? And I don't know you!"

Liu Jiale said: "I went abroad to study when I was ten years old. I didn't come back until something happened to my dad. We haven't seen each other for ten years. You were younger than me when I went abroad. Maybe you don't remember me, right?"

"Ah?" Chen Meilin asked in confusion, "Did we really know each other when we were children?"

Liu Jiale smiled and said: "You are no different from when you were a child. I recognized you at a glance."

Chen Meilin put her chin on her hand and giggled: "But why do you look younger than me?"

Liu Jiale said: "I am 21 years old and have just graduated from college. I want to propose marriage to your mother. The baby marriage we arranged when we were young should still count, right?"

Chen Meilin was startled, waved her hands repeatedly, and said, "That doesn't count. I have no idea such a thing exists, and my parents have never mentioned it to me."

Liu Jiale said: "Ms. Chen, I like you very much! I inherited my father's tens of billions of property! I studied at Oxford University abroad. No matter from which aspect, I think you have no reason to reject me."

Li Yunhai couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this, thinking that Liu Jiale's conditions were really one in a million!

If the two families can achieve good things, it will be a good destination for Chen Meilin.

Liu Jiale kept his hand stretched out in front of Chen Meilin, and then said, "Shall we dance first? We will talk about marriage later."

Chen Meilin put her hand on Li Yunhai's shoulder and smiled: "I'm sorry, I have a dance partner. You have many women to dance with you, but my brother only has me as his partner."

Liu Jiale then looked at Li Yunhai and said, "Are you Mei Lin's brother? Nice to meet you."

Li Yunhai's impression of this rich kid was quite good so far, so he nodded: "Hello."

Liu Jiale said: "Okay then, you guys dance. Mei Lin, I will visit your home tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday, will you be at home?"

Chen Meilin said: "I should be at home. But not necessarily."

Liu Jiale said: "I have your home phone number and I will contact you before I go."

Chen Meilin took Li Yunhai's hand and stood up to dance.

"Brother, are you surprised? He actually said that he had a baby kiss with me? How old is it, and he still has a baby girl with me? Who would believe it? Don't you think so?"

"Meilin, this was agreed more than ten years ago. It might be a verbal joke between your father and his father! You can find out the truth when you go home and ask your mother."

"I don't care if it's true! I won't marry him."

"But his conditions are really good, and it's hard to find him even with a lantern."

"He's too frivolous!"

"This is called youthful spirit."

"He's so unstable!"

"This is the vitality that young people should have!"

"Why do you keep saying good things about him? I won't marry him anyway!"

"Okay, okay, you decide your own affairs."

"You said you wanted to give me a gift, is that true?"

"of course."

"I think about it now."

"Okay, what do you want?"
