”Are you sure you want to go to dinner with me?” The walls of the European style living room were filled with paintings. Helian Xun looked at her in shock, as he thought he had heard wrongly.

”I'm sure.” Her red lips parted slightly, but her eyes were filled with certainty. Her fingertips were white as she held the list of things to eat. Lowering his eyes, he didn't move his eyes away from a certain name. A trace of hatred suddenly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

When Xiang Qicheng suddenly decided to divorce her, he did not even notify her in advance. When she found out, everything was already packed and placed in the living room. Because of their marriage, she had left the entertainment circle. But because of Xiang Qicheng's scheme before the wedding, naturally, she had not been able to get even a single cent from him. Instead, she had wasted several years of her youth in vain.

It was impossible to say that she didn't hate him. After all, it wasn't that she hadn't loved him, even though it was mostly for benefits. However, a sudden divorce was not a small blow to her. All her plans had just started to come to an end, and now that she had lost her job, not to mention her life, she had lost all of it.

He kept calling and sending messages, but there wasn't even a response. This was the first time she felt that she was so far away from Xiang Qicheng.

”Alright, I'll go and change my clothes. We'll leave in half an hour.” Helian Xun looked at the time, pulling her train of thoughts back to reality.

After the divorce, Helian Di stopped his work and started to travel abroad. He had originally thought that she was just having fun. He hadn't thought that she would be playing for the better part of a year. Even after returning several times, she didn't stay for more than two days before leaving. It wasn't until a few months ago that it finally settled down, but it stayed home and didn't go out to work. The company didn't care about anything else, and it occasionally went out to eat and drink with its friends.

With regards to this point, Helian Xun was actually somewhat unable to continue watching. But because Helian Di had just experienced a failed marriage, and because even his father didn't say anything, it was hard for him to say anything.

As for the matter of Helian Di taking the initiative to invite her to the banquet, he was extremely surprised. After all, she had never cared about the matters of the company, nor did she care about any business events.

After opening the wardrobe, Helian Di used his fingertips to pick each item. The banquet tonight was especially important to her, so she had to carefully choose the most suitable dress.

Finally, the tips of her fingers brushed against a long, bright, champagne colored dress. Her fingers caressed the hem of the dress, and the silky fabric made her smile in satisfaction. After changing into a dress, she deliberately chose a pair of flat silver shoes for her shoes. Although they were not as beautiful as her high-heeled shoes, they still had a certain charm to them.

She turned in a circle in the mirror and looked at her angelic face. She felt even more thankful that she had taken a shot of hyaluronic acid when she was overseas a few days ago. It made her facial features look even more exquisite.

”Mr. Xiang, Miss Chu, welcome.” At the banquet's entrance, the receptionist, who was wearing a tuxedo, bowed slightly. With a well-trained smile on his face, he pointed towards the banquet hall with his right hand.

Tonight, the people attending the banquet were all well-known figures in the society. The banquet invitation list was carefully written down, so no one dared to neglect the host.
