A Shield
Yu Ziman only felt that her brain was blank. She didn't know how to answer. She only felt that Qiangwei smiled like a flower, and there was a kind of inexpressible affinity in her tone. Yu Ziman nodded casually.
"Then Mr. Xiao, you go first. I'll go after I change my clothes!" Qiangwei said to Xiao Yi with a smile, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of enchanting smiles.
Listening to the two women, Xiao Yi dealt with this matter so quickly, but he had no way to refuse.
So, together with Yu Ziman, they went to the magnificent banquet hall on the first floor.
Today's banquet was a birthday banquet of a wealthy businessman, Zhou Wenwu. He invited all the celebrities and socialites from Hai City.
The grand banquet hall was filled with beautiful music and dressed people. They were dancing slowly. Some people who didn't like dance gathered in the corner and talked about something.
The arrival of Xiao Yi and Yu Ziman did not attract much attention.
However, a noble lady in a wine-red evening dress immediately walked out from the crowd and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Ziman, you finally came!"
"Cousin!" Yu Ziman called out with a smile.
Yu Ziman's cousin couldn't help glancing at Yu Ziman's arm that was holding Xiao Yi's, but her face darkened. She pulled Yu Ziman aside and said unhappily, "Ziman, didn't I tell you not to bring a male companion here? Why did you still bring one?"
"Cousin, that's my friend. I just happened to meet him upstairs. Besides, why do you want me to come alone?" Yu Ziman asked in a charming and silly voice.
"Silly girl, I asked you to come to this banquet because I wanted to arrange a blind date for you!" Yu Ziman's cousin said mysteriously.
"A blind date? Who?" Yu Ziman was shocked and asked in a hurry.
"He's the protagonist tonight. That wealthy businessman Zhou Wenwu, although he's a little old, he just divorced. He's rich and runs a diamond business in Hai City. But he's the real fifth son of the diamond. Ziman, you're not young anymore. You should consider your own problem. I tell you, this is a great opportunity. You can't lose it. It will never come again! Do you know how many women are watching him?" Yu Ziman's cousin said in high spirits.
Yu Ziman's face was full of helplessness and disgust. She unhappily let go of her cousin's hand and said with anger, "Cousin, I have said that you don't have to worry about my affairs. Why are you so worried about it? It's not that I can't get married!"
After Yu Ziman finished speaking, she unconsciously glanced at Xiao Yi, who was not far away.
How could this small action escape cousin's eyes? After looking up and down at Xiao Yi's cheap clothes, Yu Ziman's cousin snorted and said to Yu Ziman, "Ziman, I'm telling you, don't be silly. You are not a child anymore. That kind of stupid thing only focuses on love, it's not what you should do! You have to look after your family background before you get married. Otherwise, it's a pity that you have such a good look!"
"Cousin, what are you talking about? I don't understand, but I don't want to go on a blind date. If you have to introduce someone to me, I'll leave now!" Yu Ziman said unpleasantly.
As the two sisters were talking, they saw a slightly fat man in his forties walking straight to Yu Ziman.
"Ming Jie, who is this beautiful lady? Why don't you introduce her to me?" The man's eyes were fixed on Yu Ziman's skin. When his eyes came into contact with Yu Ziman's chest, his eyes became even brighter, and his bald head turned red with excitement. He tried his best not to lose his composure as he spoke in a polite manner.
"Oh, Mr. Zhou," Yu Ziman's cousin, when she saw the coming person, squeezed out the most brilliant smile and hurriedly replied, "This is the person I have mentioned to you. My cousin, named Yu Ziman, is a Department of Affairs expert of the Affiliated Hospital of Hua Country Medical University, and a master's graduate student at the Country E Royal Medical University!"
"Ziman, go greet him! This is Mr. Zhou Wenwu, Mr. Zhou. It's Mr. Zhou's birthday tonight!" The cousin winked at Yu Ziman madly and pushed Yu Ziman to the front of Zhou Wenwu.
"Haha, Miss Ziman, nice to meet you!" Zhou Wenwu's eyes shone and he quickly extended one of his chubby hands.
Yu Ziman felt sick as Zhou Wenwu glared at her. However, she nodded slightly because she didn't want to be disrespectful. However, she didn't dare to shake his fat hand. It would be disgusting for a long time.
Zhou Wenwu did not take it seriously at all. Under Elder Cousin Yu Ziman's encouragement, he retracted his chubby hands and rubbed them. He bowed and continued to say to Yu Ziman, "Miss Ziman, tonight is my birthday. I wonder if I have the honour of inviting Miss Ziman to dance with me?"
After that, the big hand that did not succeed a moment ago was impatiently placed on the back of Yu Ziman's waist.
Seeing the chubby hand approaching her, Yu Ziman hurriedly turned around and silently left the range of the pig hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xiao Yi, which made Yu Ziman suddenly think of a temporary way to get rid of the pig's hand.
In the next second, Yu Ziman took Xiao Yi's arm with a smile on her face and pulled him to the front of the two. He said with a smile, "Cousin, Mr. Zhou, all you need to do is talk. I forgot to introduce my boyfriend to you, Xiao Yi! Darling, this is my cousin. And this is Mr. Zhou, birthday boy tonight!"
Yu Ziman's pretty face squeezed out a sweet smile as she spoke, and she pressed it tightly against Xiao Yi's arm.
Xiao Yi witnessed what had happened just now and knew what was going on in her mind. How could he not know that Yu Ziman was asking him to put her out?
However, the sex maniac-like wealthy businessman in front of Yu Ziman really made Xiao Yi understand her mood. They had known each other for a long time. How could Xiao Yi just watch her, who was so charming, fall into the hands of the wolf? Therefore, Xiao Yi didn't care at all, even though he knew that Yu Ziman used him as a shield. He also cooperated with Yu Ziman's introduction and smiled and nodded to the two people in front of him.
"What?" Yu Ziman's cousin's face suddenly changed when she heard this. Her exquisite face was full of anger. She angrily said to Yu Ziman, "Ziman, don't mess around. You clearly said that you didn't have a boyfriend."
"That's because I'm embarrassed. Xiao Yi and I have been together for a long time. Oh, Xiao Yi?" Yu Ziman held Xiao Yi's arm tightly. In order to show the relationship between them, she deliberately pressed her chest tightly against Xiao Yi's arm.
Xiao Yi could only smile and nod his head once again as he sensed this benefit.
"You, you, are making me so angry!" Yu Ziman's cousin was so angry that the face of her cousin was almost torn apart. However, if Yu Ziman insisted on saying so, she had no way to deal with it.
Zhou Wenwu was also in his forties. How could he not see through Yu Ziman's trick? He glanced at Xiao Yi from the corner of his eyes and asked coldly, "Mr. Xiao, what business do you do?"
"I'm not a businessman. I'm just a doctor." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, he's just a doctor!" Zhou Wenwu's lips moved and a look of disdain appeared on his face. However, in his heart, he was so jealous that he was about to vomit blood. He thought quickly and was about to mock Xiao Yi.
Yu Ziman saw the disdain on Zhou Wenwu's face, but she didn't want him to mock Xiao Yi. She hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi and said, "Dear, dance with me, okay?"
"Of course!" Xiao Yi smiled and glanced at Zhou Wenwu. Then, he followed Yu Ziman down the dance floor.
Zhou Wenwu watched as the beautiful Yu Ziman left him just like that. He had put in a lot of effort and had not even laid a finger on her. He was jealous and angry. He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot. He rolled his eyes and thought for a while. Then, he waved his hand and called for an assistant. He whispered into the assistant's ear, and no one knew what he was up to.
"Sorry, I let you be a shield!" On the dance floor, Yu Ziman was slowly dancing in Xiao Yi's arms, with a layer of blush on his face. She lowered her head and said embarrassingly.
"Oh, I think that rich businessman is good. He has a deep crush on you." Xiao Yi joked deliberately.
"Damn you, his eyes are almost falling on me. At first glance, I can tell that he is a lecher." Yu Ziman reached out and pinched Xiao Yi's shoulder.
Xiao Yi laughed. He held Yu Ziman's slender waist and began to dance on the dancing floor.
Yu Ziman enjoyed the feeling of being gently embraced by Xiao Yi. At the end of the song, she actually felt like she hadn't had enough.
However, when she looked at Xiao Yi's shoulder, she saw Zhou Wenwu walking over with a large bouquet of delicate roses. There was also an exquisite jewellery box in his hand. It was obvious that he had just instructed his assistant to prepare it.
How could Yu Ziman not know of Zhou Wenwu's plan? She saw Zhou Wenwu striding over with a cruel smile on his face. Yu Ziman hurriedly run away and dodged into the bathroom.
Everyone watched as Zhou Wenwu held the flowers in his hands, and their eyes shone. They knew there would be a romantic drama to be put on. They could not help but stop dancing and move away from the dance floor. They looked at Zhou Wenwu with great enthusiasm and wondered who the lucky girl would be who would be able to win the adoration of the diamond king, Fan Wu.
When Zhou Wenwu saw the envious looks in the crowd's eyes, he felt even more confident. He puffed out his plump chest and grasped the flowers in his hand.
When Zhou Wenwu saw that Yu Ziman had used a poor doctor as a shield, he decided to unleash flowers and jewel attacks. His absolute advantage in monetary aspects had caused Xiao Yi, who was a poor doctor, to fall out completely. He did not even have the courage to use this shield.
However, when Zhou Wenwu rushed into the dance floor excitedly, he didn't expect that he would get nothing. There was no trace of Yu Ziman in front of him, only Xiao Yi looked at him mischievously.
"Eh? Who does Mr. Zhou want to send flowers to? Does he want to send flowers to this man?"
"There seems to be a girl who hurriedly avoided him the moment she saw him!"
"Are you kidding me? Mr. Zhou said something wrong. They don't accept it at all?"
The crowd couldn't help but whisper. They looked at Zhou Wenwu with their eyes full of amusement and sympathy.
Zhou Wenwu had lost so much face in front of so many people. He was so angry that his fat face was almost distorted. However, the cruelty of a businessman in his heart had also been inspired.
"She definitely doesn't know what's in the box. I don't believe there are women who don't love money." The corner of Zhou Wenwu's mouth twitched. However, he swore that he had to find an opportunity to show the things in the box to Yu Ziman. He had to take Yu Ziman down today.
However, at this moment, a fragrant breeze moved at the banquet hall door, and a woman with a plump figure and a fascinating charm appeared at the door.
