Chapter 70: Chapter 70: She’s Too Young
Shen Xinzhu didn’t know Fang Chenze’s thoughts, but after finding out that Huo Jincheng would be coming, she left and went directly to the beauty salon for a full-body spa treatment.
By the time she finished all that, it was already five in the afternoon. She then applied exquisite makeup and changed into a light blue spaghetti strap dress.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shen Xinzhu was still quite satisfied.
However, when she thought of Lu Xingzhi’s face, stunning and vibrant even without makeup, her confidence dwindled a little.
Her face had been slightly altered through cosmetic procedures; though the traces weren’t very obvious, comparing herself to six years ago, the differences were still noticeable.
The first time she met Huo Jincheng, she lost her heart.
His god-like demeanor made her feel incredibly inferior.
To be worthy of him, over the years, she didn’t dare to eat meat, only allowing herself vegetables and fruits. She practiced yoga every day, maintained her skin, studied etiquette, and continually practiced piano to achieve today’s results.
She worked so hard and adored him so much, so why was he always polite yet distant toward her?
Why wouldn’t he spare her even a single glance?
No, Shen Xinzhu, you cannot concede.
You must show him the difference between you and Lu Xingzhi.
It’s just that your looks aren’t as striking as Lu Xingzhi’s, but you have already been titled the most graceful and elegant pianist, and you’re an outstanding graduate of the Manhattan Music College.
Thinking of this, Shen Xinzhu regained some confidence.
She arrived at six-thirty, just to wait for Huo Jincheng.
Finally, at eight, she saw Huo Jincheng.
Seeing that he didn’t bring Lu Xingzhi along, she was even more at ease.
"Third Brother, you finally came. We were all waiting for you," as the major shareholder and manager, Fang Chenze approached to welcome him.
When Huo Jincheng entered, he scanned the room briefly; indeed, everyone who should be there was present.
"Third Brother, please sit," Fang Chenze gestured for Huo Jincheng to take the best seat.
Sitting next to him was Qin Shihuai, and there was another spot meant for Mo Jinyan, one of Huo Jincheng’s friends. However, Shen Xinzhu went over and took the seat.
She looked at Huo Jincheng shyly and affectionately called out, "Third Brother."
"Hmm." Huo Jincheng, as a well-mannered gentleman, wouldn’t let her feel too embarrassed.
He then naturally said to Fang Chenze, "Why are you standing so far away? Come sit over! Aren’t we going to have a drink together?"
"Ah? Sure, sure." Since Huo Jincheng had asked, Fang Chenze naturally brought his glass over.
Shen Xinzhu had no choice but to scoot over slightly, though she felt agonized inside, outwardly she maintained a graceful demeanor.
The two drank, and a few others came over to greet Huo Jincheng. After making the rounds, he’d had a few drinks.
"Jincheng, where’s your little fiancée? Why didn’t you bring her out?" Qin Shihuai teased.
His voice was loud enough for many to hear, and the room seemed quieter now, everyone curious to hear Huo Jincheng’s response.
Huo Jincheng heard him mention Lu Xingzhi and smiled with a touch of gentleness, "She’s still too young. I was worried you’d bully her."
"Your fiancée, who’d dare have the balls to bully her?" Qin Shihuai deliberately played along with Huo Jincheng, also purposely saying it for Shen Xinzhu’s benefit.
It seemed many people fancied Shen Xinzhu, but he didn’t care for her.
She pretended too much.
She didn’t even consider herself and truly thought others were interested in her.
Anyway, Jincheng’s taste was indeed impressive. That Lu Xingzhi, besides being young, truly was a rare beauty.
