Chapter 170 She is missing
There was no trace of surprise in Zhou Ning's eyes.
She touched the hairpin and said calmly, "Of course Qingzhou gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shanshan frowned and said, "Did you see that Mr. Huo gave me a hairpin and you wanted one too, so you pestered Mr. Huo to buy it for you?"
"Aren't you the one who knows best whether I was the one who pestered Qingzhou to buy it?"
When Wen Shanshan heard this, a guilty look flashed in his eyes.
She still gritted her teeth and continued, "Boss Huo also bought me this hairpin, aren't you angry at all?"
"Did you pick up that hairpin of yours, or was it given to you by someone else? Do you really want me to put it out there and explain it clearly?"
"..."
Wen Shanshan's face suddenly became embarrassed and he was speechless for a while.
The hairpin was originally picked up by her, so she didn't have much confidence, especially since Zhou Ning already knew about it, she didn't know what to say.
After a long while, she asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Zhou Ning said in a light tone, "You are so ostentatious. If it was really given to you by Qingzhou, wouldn't you have announced it to the world? But you didn't even give it to me."
"Not only in front of Qingzhou, but even during the recent promotional activities, you didn't wear it once. Isn't that obvious enough?"
Wen Shanshan was surprised to find that Zhou Ning was right.
There was a rare look of panic in her eyes.
Zhou Ning glanced at her calmly without changing his expression.
In fact, when Wen Shanshan first wore the hairpin to show off in front of her, she did not believe what Wen Shanshan said. As long as she thought about it, she felt that it was impossible for Huo Qingzhou to give Wen Shanshan a hairpin.
In recent days, she saw gossip about Wen Shanshan on the Internet, mainly about her publicity in front of the media. She was reported to have insisted on working despite her injuries, and was almost called a model worker by her fans.
Even though it was such a great opportunity for publicity, she still didn't wear the things Huo Qingzhou gave her to show off their relationship.
Furthermore, this thank-you banquet was also an opportunity for her to show off, but she did not even take out the hairpin, which had already proved that she did not dare to take it out.
It was because Zhou Ning remained suspicious that she took the initiative to ask Huo Qingzhou whether he had prepared anything for her in private, and only then did she learn that he had bought a hairpin and then lost it.
Wen Shanshan gritted her teeth in anger, but did not refute and admitted, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."
When she finished speaking, she felt annoyed.
She actually praised Zhou Ning!
Her face instantly became puffed up, especially when she saw Zhou Ning wearing a hairpin, which really set off her temperament. Wen Shanshan clenched her palms, but did not dare to lose her temper loudly.
Originally, he picked up the things and deliberately showed off in front of Zhou Ning, making her mistakenly believe that they were given by Huo Qingzhou. Wen Shanshan felt very guilty.
If everyone knew about this, would she still be alive?!
Wen Shanshan felt very angry when she thought about how Zhou Ning was so considerate and there was no misunderstanding between her and Huo Qingzhou at all. She even thought of some way to make Huo Qingzhou buy her the hairpin again.
Considering the occasion, she took a deep breath and suppressed half of the anger in her heart.
Seeing Zhou Ning looking at the banquet hall, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched: "Isn't my banquet hall very luxurious? Are you envious of me?"
"If it weren't for Mr. Huo's blessing, you probably wouldn't be able to come to such a place in your life, let alone hold such a personal banquet. Even thinking about it is a luxury. You are not qualified."
Zhou Ning made no secret of it: "I am indeed quite envious. I really didn't have the opportunity to come to a place like this before. It's only because I followed Qingzhou that I can come here today."
Hearing this, Wen Shanshan was stunned again.
She thought that Zhou Ning's emotions would fluctuate after hearing her proud words, and she might even make some excuses or get angry, but she didn't expect her to be so calm and respond generously.
Zhou Ning: "Do you want me to be jealous and crazy? I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I will only wonder why I didn't have the chance to be born into a good family."
For Zhou Ning, she felt that she was already very lucky.
Looking around, most people in this world are ordinary people like her.
Wen Shanshan stammered a few times. She originally wanted to provoke Zhou Ning and have a big fight with him, but when she saw Zhou Ning being so open-minded, she had nothing to say.
Zhou Ning didn't stay long and took the time to go to the bathroom.
……
The thank-you banquet is still going on.
Wen Shanshan didn't continue thinking about the unpleasant conversation with Zhou Ning and was busy greeting the guests.
After Huo Qingzhou finished talking, he rushed to find that familiar figure, but after searching for a long time at the banquet, he couldn't find it.
As a result, Wen Shanshan had just finished greeting the guests when she saw Huo Qingzhou looking around with an anxious look in his eyes.
Her eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, calmed down, and continued to smile cheekily: "Mr. Huo, what are you looking at? Are you looking for me?"
Huo Qingzhou glared at Wen Shanshan, and his cold attitude answered everything.
Wen Shanshan suddenly felt a chill all over his body and dared not continue talking nonsense.
Suddenly, she heard the man ask her, "Where's Ningning?"
Wen Shanshan's eyes flashed, and she looked in the direction where she had just chatted with Zhou Ning. She didn't see Zhou Ning, and wondered, "I was just chatting with her over there, why..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Qingzhou's sharp gaze immediately came over and grasped the key point.
"What did you talk about with Ning Ning?"
"Nothing... nothing," Wen Shanshan was afraid and her voice gradually became smaller. "I just briefly told her about the thank-you banquet and thanked her for coming."
Looking at Huo Qingzhou's anxious expression, she felt uncomfortable, but deliberately comforted him, "He was so nervous just because he hadn't seen Zhou Ning for such a short time.
"Don't worry about it. Maybe she was just having fun and chatting with some guy, or maybe she went home early."
Then he picked up the wine glass again and said, "Boss Huo, you finally came to my thank-you banquet. I'm really happy. I'd like to take this opportunity to toast you."
Huo Qingzhou's voice turned cold: "Do you think I'm still in the mood to drink?"
Wen Shanshan: “…”
"Send someone to find it for me immediately!"
Hearing the man's stern tone, Wen Shanshan didn't dare to breathe.
She wanted to continue telling Huo Qingzhou not to worry, but a sharp voice rushed into her ears again: "If you can't find it, forget about holding your thank-you banquet!"
This commotion attracted Wen Deye.
As soon as Wen Deye approached, he smelled gunpowder and an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on his face.
He looked helplessly at Wen Shanshan who was standing next to Huo Qingzhou, and sighed inwardly. It was definitely his little daughter who acted rashly and said something she shouldn't have said in front of Huo Qingzhou.
In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he walked up to Huo Qingzhou and asked a few questions.
After learning the whole process, he immediately cooperated with Huo Qingzhou and sent people to look for him.
Huo Qingzhou also began to look around anxiously, feeling very curious.
She was clearly in the banquet hall, and she couldn't run far by herself, so where could she go...
