The VCR of reminiscing about the past was played in a loop during the dinner. Li Zao was facing the big screen and could see it when he looked up.

When he was a teenager, Lu Xiangning looked even more outstanding than he does now. He was tall, thin, fair, and had a youthful look.

At that time, the height difference between him and Zhao Zichu was not as big as it is now. Standing side by side, the two of them had the enviable feeling of being campus lovers.

These photos seemed normal to the elders, but to Li Zao, each one was Zhao Zichu's declaration of war against her.

A blatant declaration of war.

Lu Xiangning brought her some food, leaned his shoulder over her, lowered his head to her ear, and whispered, "We'll go up and sit down in a moment, and we'll leave soon."

Li Zao instinctively moved half an inch out. He drank some wine, and his warm breath, wrapped in the smell of alcohol, went straight into her ear holes, and a numbing feeling surged throughout her body.

She used to like this feeling very much.

not now!

She leaned back to get out of his breathing range, suddenly turned her head and looked at him.

Lu Xiangning's eyes were puzzled.

Li Zao looked at the handsome face so close, and there was a voice in his heart that kept warning him not to be fascinated by sex.

"Are you sure you're just going to sit there for a while? You didn't deliberately target my program?"

"How come, no."

Li Zao twitched the corners of his lips, not believing his words so much, and smiled faintly, "It's best."

She pushed his chest with her elbow, "Don't get so close to me, I'm afraid someone will stare at you."

Lu Xiangning: "..."

He did feel the gaze of Zhao Zichu from the next table.

Later, Li Zao had become immune to the photos shown on the big screen.

She can't keep her head down. Since there is no way to avoid it, let's appreciate it.

She even studied this group of people.

"That little boy with red lips is Mr. Ji?"

Lu Xiangning looked up and said, "Yeah."

With so many people, why are they paying attention to Ji Li?

"If he were a girl, she would definitely be a beautiful woman."

"Ah……"

"I don't think I've seen him before. Will he stop playing with you when he grows up?"

"Well, he went abroad after finishing junior high school. He has been abroad since then and rarely comes back. Naturally, he doesn't have much fun."

Unlike a few of them, although they often went abroad for exchanges and studies during their student days, they did not settle abroad for a long time. The main battlefield was still at home, so they could often get together.

In a top-level circle like theirs, the threshold is set from birth, making it difficult for outsiders to blend in.

Of course, they also have other friends of their own, which is another circle.

In their small circle, resource sharing is secondary, absolute trust is the key.

This is also the real reason why Li Zao has been married to Lu Xiangning for five years, but they still believe that Lu Xiangning and Zhao Zichu are a couple.

Li Zao nodded and asked again: "Are the works that their Ji's Auction House is looking for very marketable?"

Lu Xiangning's impatience could no longer be concealed, "Yeah."

Li Zao's eyes clearly lit up, "Then if it's the person they like and they want to sign a management contract, does it mean that this person's works can make a lot of money in the future?"

Lu Xiangning thought for a moment in her mind, and after thinking about it, the only one she could think of was her best friend Su Kui.

Su Kui Qingmei opened a gallery as soon as she graduated, which is quite a bit of a skill.

But this is his character...

"Don't think about money, money, money. Ji's business is to earn commissions. If the work is sold, it can take away more than half of the money."

"As long as the price is high enough, the remaining money will be considerable."

"Tsk, vulgar."

The smile on Li Zao's face faded, and he was extremely disgusted with his wording, "It's vulgar for me to ask for money, so Zhao Zichu throws five million in my face, how noble is she?"

"Use vulgar methods when dealing with vulgar people."

"..."

What a dog man, one sentence made her so angry that she became depressed, and she didn't want to say a word to him anymore.

Lu Xiangning gave her some food, and she returned it to him.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Yao couldn't wait to leave. She symbolically said hello to the elders and left.

The top floor is outdoors, with its own swimming pool and small garden. It has a pink and white dreamy style, with pink and white balloons and flowers everywhere.

The natural wind blows in waves, which is cool and refreshing.

As soon as the colorful lights are turned on, the atmosphere becomes full.

Lu Yao and the other girls had already prepared and had to go to the room to change clothes.

The men were more casual, sitting around, drinking, chatting and waiting.

As soon as Lu Xiangning and Li Zao came up, Gu Zheng took the lead in cheering, "The only one among us is here with a companion. Everyone welcomes him with applause."

Lu Xiangning raised his hand, making a gesture from the air to slap him.

When Li Zao saw that they were all men, he excused himself to go to the bathroom.

"Hey, where are you going, sister-in-law?" Gu Zheng shouted.

Li Zao had a bad premonition immediately. Gu Zheng actually called her "sister-in-law" and called her "Miss Li" a while ago.

"Come here and sit, enjoy the cool air, it's rare for everyone to get together."

Li Zao took a deep breath and said openly and brightly: "Mr. Gu, you are too polite. There is no one else here. It would be better for you to call me 'Miss Li'."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly embarrassed.

Lu Xiangning was afraid that she was not used to it and wanted to leave, so he asked kindly: "Shall I accompany you?"

Li Zao waved his hand to refuse, not even bothering to look at him.

Li Zao walked to the water bar and asked, then headed in the direction pointed by the waiter.

Lu Xiangning walked slowly among the brothers, looking at their faces watching the show, feeling a little uneasy, "Where are the others? Where is Lu Yao?"

Gu Zheng, on the other hand, looked forward to it, "I heard that I'm going to change my clothes, she's a girl."

Zhuo Jingfan stood up consciously and gave up the two-seat sofa, sat down next to Lan Zhicheng, and asked: "We were just invited, are there any other programs?"

Lan Zhicheng shook his head.

They had a small group chat, and Lu Yao just called everyone in the group to go upstairs and didn't say anything else.

"Anyway, there must be something good to watch." Gu Zheng said confidently.

Lu Xiangning turned to glare at Gu Zheng, and said in a warning tone: "Don't cause trouble."

"No, no, I mean, your sister-in-law does something fancy every year for her birthday, so there must be something good to watch tonight."

On the other side, Li Chen did not rush to the toilet after finishing it.

Everyone wants to squeeze into their circle, but she doesn't.

In her eyes, they are a group of double-standard people with childhood filters. People in the circle can understand everything they do, but they use ultra-high moral standards to demand others.

In their eyes, she is just a vase with no connotation or quality. Everything she does is for money, and she is not worthy of Lu Xiangning at all.

After all, she and them have different views and no fate.

The rooftop on the top floor was very large, and Li Zao stood at the commanding heights, overlooking the night view of the entire Jiangcheng.

It's freezing cold at high places, and the beautiful night view gives people a dizzying feeling, which is unreal.

"Excuse me...is this Li Zao?"

Li Zao turned back, it was Ji Li.
