Chapter 381 - Fetching the Invitation
That's certainly true, but you're always insincere in facing yourself, that's a big problem ah.
Qin Yun looked at Jiang Hao with disappointment and helplessly lowered her head: ''Jiang Hao, do you think you really need to go? Will you be able to change the outcome of anything if you go? Either."
Qin Yun hesitated and waited for a while before she lifted her head and said to Jiang Hao, "Jiang Hao, why don't we go? I'll invite you to dinner, let's not go in, okay?"
Qin Yun's tone was full of pleading, she really wanted to take Jiang Hao away.
In Qin Yun's opinion, Jiang Hao's continued stay here was not good for anyone, whether it was herself or Jiang Hao.
Because if he continued to do that kind of indifferent, even ridiculous, insistence, not only would it not serve a single purpose, but it would become the laughing stock of everyone.
Even now, most of the people present, as long as they were paying attention to this side, there wasn't a single person who didn't look at Jiang Hao with mockery and arrogance in abundance.
And some of those who seemed to still have a trace of sympathy for Jiang Hao couldn't help but shake their heads and whisper their advice.
"Yes lad, get out of here, why bother? What's the point?"
"That's right, one has to be self-aware, you're doing your friend and yourself a disservice."
"Why is this boy like that? If you don't want to lose face yourself, do you want to put this little girl's face on the line too? I can see that people really think of you as a friend, you'll give them the chills if you do that!"
Listening to a clamour in his ears, Jiang Hao's expression looked more and more helpless.
He looked at Qin Yun and said in a low voice, "Qin Yun, do you really think that everything I said before, was a lie? Do you just not believe me?"
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Qin Yun hesitated and shook her head slightly, but then raised her head again, her eyes suddenly gaining a hint of certainty: "Jiang Hao, isn't it?"
Clearly, what Qin Yun meant beyond words was that she had already had a showdown with Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao heaved a sigh, being misunderstood by his good friend, this was really uncomfortable for him.
Only Qin Yun's words made Wang Jiani at the side happy.
She hurriedly jumped out and said smugly, "Oh, how about that, you heard it, Qin Yun's words couldn't be more clear, do you really think anyone is a fool?"
After she finished speaking, Wang Jiani hurriedly wrapped her arm around Qin Yun again and said with a happy smile, "Qin Yun, I knew it, you must not believe this stinking loser's lies either, but it's not too late for you to turn over a new leaf!"
After that, Wang Jiani's eyes became sharp as she looked at Jiang Hao and said conspiratorially, "Hmph, now that Qin Yun doesn't believe it, I see what you have to say, you still want to mix in this kind of occasion with Qin Yun's light, now that Qin Yun doesn't believe you, she won't let you mix in with her, so hurry up and leave, I feel sick just seeing you!"
As she said that, Wang Jiani pulled Qin Yun and prepared to walk inside, only she used a slight force but did not pull Qin Yun.
Qin Yun didn't have the intention to leave and just looked at Jiang Hao silently.
"Aiya, what are you looking at? Let's go, this kind of person is not the same as us at all, let's hurry inside!" Wang Jiani pulled Qin Yun again and continued, "Just let him fend for himself!"
But this time, Qin Yun directly broke away from Wang Jiani's hand, sighed and said to Wang Jiani, "You go in, I want to be quiet."
Having said that, Qin Yun pushed Wang Jiani away and walked straight towards the other side.
She finally couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hao, but in the end, she just shook her head helplessly.
Seeing Qin Yun leave, Wang Jiani stomped her feet in anger and muttered, "Really don't know what's good for you!"
Having said that, she handed the invitation she was holding to the welcome guest at the door and walked in on her own.
In fact, for some time now, especially after Jiang Hao's appearance, Wang Jiani had been full of opinions about Qin Yun.
Even her attitude towards Qin Yun was not as enthusiastic as before, and now, she even felt that Qin Yun, her friend, was already dispensable.
If she could become friends with someone like Jiang Hao, it was obvious that if she went out with Qin Yun again, she would only invariably bring down her own family, and if such a thing were to spread to her small circle, it would simply be disgraceful.
But now that she sees that Qin Yun and Jiang Hao are in such a bad mood because of this incident today, and may even go their separate ways, Wang Jiani is still very happy.
As for what would happen to Qin Yun in the end, that was not something she needed to consider.
Who let her choose to be friends with Jiang Hao, and whatever happened to him was the result of his crime.
Soon, the crowd surrounding the entrance gradually dispersed, and one by one, everyone walked into the Chu Jiang Pavilion.
Jiang Hao was the only one who looked at Qin Yun's back and froze for a while.
Qin Yun did not leave too far away, but only walked a short distance away, her hands clasped around her shoulders, her back looking incomparably forlorn.
Jiang Hao sighed, he didn't choose to walk directly towards Qin Yun, instead he walked towards the car park not far away.
Chapter 382 - Give it to me quickly
The Chu River is a vast and smoky river, at this time the sunset was already at the skyline with only a hint of afterglow left, the sky gradually darkened, the whole river surface was dyed red by the afterglow.
Qin Yun stood forlornly by the river with her hands on her shoulders. She didn't know what she was looking at, but she was staring straight ahead, seemingly thinking about something, but her mind was blank.
The evening breeze from the river blew Qin Yun's long, slender hair and she felt a slight chill.
After so much calming down for a while, she was no longer as irritable and restless as before.
Suddenly, Qin Yun was tapped from behind. Qin Yun subconsciously turned her head and saw Jiang Hao smiling at her, and her eyebrows frowned slightly once again.
Jiang Hao's appearance made Qin Yun's heart, which had gradually calmed down, ripple again.
She didn't say a word, and only glanced at Jiang Hao before turning her head once again to look at the vast river behind her.
"Still angry?" Jiang Hao smiled and walked to a position parallel to Qin Yun, also looking at the vast river ahead, and asked, "Do you really not believe my words? Have you ever thought about what if what I say is true?"
Jiang Hao looked at Qin Yun and said with a serious face, "What if I really have the gold card invitation for this banquet, what if I can really help your father with the south of the city project? What if."
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and continued, "What if I'm someone who is the polar opposite of the me you know, someone who is exceptionally, exceptionally rich?"
Qin Yun did not twist her head as she listened to Jiang Hao's words, but she still kept sighing in her heart.
After all this, you still haven't woken up yet?
Qin Yun sighed heavily and suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, saying with a lost expression, "Jiang Hao, we are both adults, I hope you can be more mature, do you really think those words you said are credible? If you think of me as a friend, then I beg you, can you stop this? Let's go, no I don't want to be here anymore today, let's go for a walk along the river."
Hearing Qin Yun's words, Jiang Hao was still a little disappointed.
But in an instant he smiled, stretched out a hand and handed a golden card to Qin Yun's eyes.
"Forget it, it's too cold outside, let's go inside. Coincidentally, I have an invitation here, and I can bring someone in, please are you interested?"
Jiang Hao spoke with a playful smile on his face, as if he wanted to give Qin Yun a hint of surprise.
Only Qin Yun didn't take Jiang Hao's words to heart at all, instead she gave a cold laugh and muttered something out of her mouth.
She didn't think Jiang Hao would have any invitations at all, and thought that Jiang Hao had just found a card to amuse himself, so she didn't even look at the card Jiang Hao handed over carefully, but merely glanced at it casually.
It was only with this subconscious glance that Qin Yun's whole body froze.
She looked at the card in Jiang Hao's hand with a shocked expression, and then the shock and dismay on her face suddenly grew several times stronger.
"This," Qin Yun looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, somewhat at a loss for words.
Jiang Hao only smiled and shook the golden invitation card in his hand, "Miss Qin, how about it, do you believe my words now?"
Jiang Hao didn't feel like raising his eyebrows at this point, he was just happy in his heart.
After all, he had finally proved himself in front of Qin Yun.
In fact, in Jiang Hao's heart, what he cared more about was whether he could prove himself to Qin Yun than proving himself to those onlookers or beating Wang Jiani's face.
And now that he had proved himself, Jiang Hao was naturally overwhelmed with joy.
"How could you have" Qin Yun's fingers trembled a little as she pointed at the golden invitation, "This is a golden invitation, as far as I know, only the Chu Jiang Xu family got a golden invitation to this banquet, but you"
Jiang Hao looked at Qin Yun's astonished expression and laughed, "That's not your concern, let's go, when the banquet starts, we won't be able to get in even if we have an invitation."
As he said that, Jiang Hao pulled Qin Yun and prepared to walk towards the Chu Jiang Pavilion.
Qin Yun passively followed behind Jiang Hao, obviously, she was still in the aftermath of the shock and had not come back to her senses.
And in this period of Qin Yun's daze, she had already been pulled by Jiang Hao to the entrance of Chu Jiang Pavilion.
The welcome guest smiled as usual and prompted, "Hello, please present your invitation."
Jiang Hao gave an oh, and was about to reach out and hand over the invitation he was holding.
But at that moment, Jiang Hao was violently pulled by someone, followed by a hand that quickly skipped past Jiang Hao's hand and directly snatched the invitation card from Jiang Hao's hand.
This happened so suddenly that Jiang Hao didn't react at all, his whole body froze and hurriedly turned his head to look, then he saw that Qin Yun was holding the invitation, looking at Jiang Hao with a suspicious expression.
Jiang Hao was so puzzled that he hurriedly asked, "Qin Yun, what are you doing? Quickly give me the invitation so we can go in?"
Chapter 383 - Going Upstairs
Qin Yun seemed to turn a deaf ear to Jiang Hao's words, instead her face was grave as she questioned, "Jiang Hao, tell me honestly, is this invitation a fake?"
Fake? Jiang Hao was simply speechless when he heard Qin Yun's words.
"Qin Yun, what kind of words are you saying? What is fake? How could I make it fake"
Before Jiang Hao could finish his words, he was stiffly interrupted by Qin Yun, who seemed even more nervous and didn't listen to Jiang Hao's words at all, instead asking back, "Is this real or fake? Jiang Hao, do you know what would happen if your fake invitations were discovered by others? This is the Xu family's territory, if something really goes wrong, not to mention me, even if my father is here, people may not give him face, then you will definitely be very miserable!"
Looking at Qin Yun's serious face, Jiang Hao didn't know whether he should cry or laugh a few times.
He thought to himself, "Is this Qin Yun so distrustful of himself? When he hadn't taken out the invitation, she questioned himself.
But now that she has taken out the invitation, she still doubts that the invitation is fake?
Jiang Hao was really speechless.
He sighed, looked down at Qin Yun and said, "Qin Yun, I'm only asking you, are you willing to trust me once?"
Jiang Hao paused and said solemnly again, "If you really consider me a good friend, then I implore you to believe me once, this invitation is real, I promise. And."
Jiang Hao sighed, "And even if you doubt the authenticity of the invitation, then you should give me a chance to prove myself, right? You're always doubting me, but you don't even give me the chance to prove myself, don't you think that's too unfair to me?"
Jiang Hao said while reaching out to grab the invitation card in Qin Yun's hand.
And with these words, Jiang Hao seemed to have nudged Qin Yun awake.
Qin Yun looked at Jiang Hao with complicated eyes, a little hesitant and still a little overwhelmed.
And just as she was hesitating, Jiang Hao snatched the invitation from her hand.
Jiang Hao held up the invitation and said seriously to Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, give me a chance to prove myself, okay? I'm not a fool, I won't run into a knife knowing it's opposite!"
As he said that, Jiang Hao pulled Qin Yun and once again walked towards the welcoming guest at the entrance.
"Yes," Qin Yun seemed to be about to say something else, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she was interrupted by Jiang Hao.
"Shhh!" Jiang Hao made a silent gesture, "Trust me."
"Hello, please show your invitation." The welcoming guest smiled mechanically.
Jiang Hao nodded and handed the invitation over once again.
In that instant, Jiang Hao clearly felt Qin Yun tug at his coat again, as if he had something to say, but swallowed it back.
But Qin Yun grabbed Jiang Hao's hand, but clutched it with a deadly grip, her heart tense.
Obviously she did not know what kind of fate she was about to face, but at this moment she was already vaguely prepared in her mind.
But just as Qin Yun's hands were beaded with sweat, she suddenly saw that the welcome guest smiled and bowed slightly at Jiang Hao, and said in a respectful tone, "Sir, welcome to Chu Jiang Pavilion, please come in, today's banquet will be held in the 'Sea Watch Hall' on the first floor, please go straight down the stairs."
That welcoming guest was very polite to Jiang Hao and spoke to him a whole lot.
But Qin Yun didn't hear the words that followed clearly, this Qin Yun, at this moment, was completely stunned, as if his whole face had been struck by lightning, looking at that welcoming guest with a stunned expression, his ears still echoing the two words he had said to Jiang Hao just now.
"It's really true?" Qin Yun muttered in dismay, her gaze dumbfounded for a good half a day.
"Qin Yun? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Hao gently patted Qin Yun and said softly, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Qin Yun instantly came back to her senses, shook off her head and said, "No no, I just just feel a bit unbelievable."
At this moment, Qin Yun's heart was definitely more than just a big stone falling to the ground.
She felt that all this today was a great surprise from Jiang Hao.
The invitation was real, she had been overly concerned.
But how could this invitation be real?
Because not to mention the golden invitation, even if Jiang Hao could come up with an ordinary invitation, it would be unbelievable for Qin Yun.
Golden invitations, you have to know that in the whole Chu River, but for any such banquet, the only people who could obtain such invitations were the Xu family and a few other top big families who were qualified.
And who was Jiang Hao? How could he also have a golden invitation? Could it be that he really had some incredible identity?
Qin Yun thought about it, but it always felt like her mind was all a muddle, unable to come up with a clue.
Just then, her thoughts were once again interrupted by Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao nudged her and said with a smile, "Qin Yun, let's go upstairs."
Qin Yun nodded woodenly, and when she looked at Jiang Hao, her gaze suddenly had a few more apologies in it.
