My CEO Ex-husband Wants To Remarry Me - Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Wu Yaxin swayed her hips as she walked towards them, speaking casually.
Wang Zijian glared at her, and she snorted before turning around.
“Okay, girls…” Wang Zijian clapped his hands and said, “Get in the car now! Let’s go!”
As everyone was about to head out, he whispered to Su Ruowan, “You’ll be responsible for pouring drinks to those people later. You don’t have to go on stage.”
“Okay, Mr. Wang.”
Wang Zijian’s eyes darkened. Why was she always so formal with him? Regaining his composure, he added, “You don’t have to worry about anything. If you have any problem, just call me. The ribbon-cutting ceremony shouldn’t take long. When it’s over, you can go back and pick up Jiu Jiu!”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang,” Su Ruowan replied respectfully to him once again.
With a sulking look on his face, the man got in the car.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
As the Dacheng Company was quite famous in D City, the event attracted a lot of media attention. Putting on her lipstick, Wu Yaxin commented, “There must be a lot of celebrities here tonight. If only we could meet some of them… Right, Ruowan?”
Su Ruowan was taken aback for a moment. Since she joined the company, Wu Yaxin had been taking every opportunity to make fun of her. She wondered if she had offended the other woman before.
By the time the girls’ makeup was done, they entered the hall one after another.
After pouring tea for the guests, Su Ruowan stood in the corridor and waited.
Soon the announcement came, “Let’s start the opening ceremony for the Lidu Building. We welcome on stage the Dacheng Company’s chairman, Zhang Fuhu, his daughter, Zhang Luoya, and the vice …”
Su Ruowan and Wu Yaxin were in the same group. Although the latter showed clear dissatisfaction with the fact that she couldn’t go on stage, she had no choice but to stand in the corridor with a scowl.
Suddenly, she leaned over and whispered to Su Ruowan, “I don’t think Zhang Luoya is beautiful!”
Su Ruowan glanced at the stage and saw the chairman’s daughter in an elegant white suit. She wore an exquisite makeup that only accentuated her naturally gorgeous face. Moreover, she was born into a wealthy family and held a high position in society, so it was clear that she had a special concern for her image. Next to her, stood Zhang Fuhu, who was short and fat like the typical rich man.
Wu Yaxin covered her mouth and sneered, “Look at Mr. Zhang. There must be twenty kilograms of fat on his belly alone!”
As she didn’t hear any response from Su Ruowan, she snorted in contempt.
After Zhang Fuhu finished reading his speech, the crowd burst into applause. A while later, the man coughed briefly to hint the audience to be quiet again. “Today, in order to live up to the media expectations, I’ve also invited a special guest. I present you my daughter’s new boyfriend, Jing Muchen, from the Jing Yang Group!”
As soon as people heard this, they went into an uproar. The reporters rushed to the front of the stage, while the cameras’ flashes went off continuously.
Then the door opened, revealing the tall and slim figure of Jing Muchen.
“Jing Muchen? I can’t believe it’s him!”
“He came back from abroad. Is he going to take over the Jing Yang Group?”
“They are making an official announcement of their relationship!”
The guests present talked fervently while the reporters kept shooting pictures. The whole scene was quite chaotic.
The moment Su Ruowan heard the name “Jing Muchen”, a shiver went down her spine. Although she managed to calm herself down quickly enough, she still couldn’t believe she was seeing her ex-husband again after five years!
The man wore a well-tailored handmade black suit, matching his elegant and tall figure. His white shirt and the dark red tie weren’t a big deal, but on him, they gave off an extraordinary nobility aura. At the invitation of Zhang Fuhu, he walked onto the stage.
With his dark deep eyes, he scanned the room but didn’t say a word. He looked clean and tidy with an indifferent and serious expression on his face. Under his scrutiny gaze, the hall immediately fell silent again.
At this moment, one of the etiquette girls gave him the microphone. Taking it, Jing Muchen said, “Thank you. I also wish a smooth start for the construction of the Lidu Building.”
His voice sounded deep and magnetic. After stating those brief words, he put the microphone down, as if he didn’t want to steal the event’s spotlight.
However, the reporters had no intention to let go of this rare opportunity for an interview. Back when Jing Muchen competed for the right to inherit the family’s business, he succeeded but soon resigned and flew to Italy. His sister, Jing Muxuan, had taken over the company on his behalf, but now he was suddenly back. Whether he had an ulterior motive for leaving back then or was just following a plan, people wanted to know.
Therefore, the reporters present at the ceremony started asking him questions.
“Mr. Jing, are you coming back to take over the Jing Yang Group?”
“Did you decide to come back in the name of love?”
“Does your presence here today indicate that you’re going to marry Miss Zhang soon?”
“…”
Then Jing Muchen picked up the microphone again, and raising the corners of his lips slightly, he said unhurriedly, “You all seem too interested in my private life. It’s a pity that you don’t work for a gossip column.”
At this moment, the host intervened, “The ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to begin. Please, save your questions for after the ceremony. Now, let’s welcome our etiquette girls!”
On the cue, Wang Zijian made a gesture, and the girls occupied the stage one by one.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over, there was a buffet arranged by the sponsor.
Su Ruowan and Wu Yaxin stood beside the catering table, as they were responsible for serving the guests with red wine.
“Hey!” Wu Yaxin nudged Su Ruowan with her elbow. “Look at that table!”
Following her gaze, Su Ruowan saw Jing Muchen and the Zhang family sitting at one of the tables.
“Let’s go over there and pour them some wine.”
Su Ruowan frowned. “That’s not what Mr. Wang asked us to do.”
“Oh, come on!” Wu Yaxin dismissed her words. “There are so many executives from Dacheng Company here today, not to mention Jing Muchen who just came back… We’re too beautiful not to try our luck on such an occasion. If you just stand there all the time, won’t you regret until the day you die?”
Su Ruowan shook her head. Wu Yaxin was really a helpless worshiper of money.
“Forget it! I’ll go by myself!” Wu Yaxin waltzed towards Jing Muchen. Boldly standing beside him, she leaned over and asked in a soft tone, “Mr. Jing, would you like some red wine?”
