Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 47

Her voice is extremely soft and gentle, and it sounds very sweet to people's ears. Not to mention a sincere apology, even if it is perfunctory, people who are perfunctory are very comfortable. So the four of them, from Mei Mengxian on down, all smiled and kept saying it didn't matter, we had arrived early.

After Mrs. Mei sat down, she said: "We are all Chun'er, insisting that we arrive earlier. Ji Kang said that it is a Western custom here in Miss Cheng. It is not advisable to come early for the banquet. It is appropriate to arrive later. But we couldn't help Chun'er urging us. , I also want to come over early to see Miss Cheng."

"You don't have to be polite." Jane said with a smile.

"Ms. Cheng, don't be polite to us. On weekdays, you take care of our ignorant child and never have the chance to thank us in person. There are many guests today, so you don't need to greet us specially." Mrs. Mei smiled.

Jane nodded. Mrs May and her husband were not quite the same. Mei Mengxian is a shipping tycoon. There are many such tycoons in Shanghai, and most of them can't escape the Jianghu atmosphere. Although Mei Mengxian is already the second generation and can no longer be regarded as a man who conquers the world on the dock, his actions still have the feeling of a gangster. Mrs. Mei, on the other hand, has the taste of a lady who is well versed in books and etiquette.

At this time, Xiaomei glanced at her uncle and asked with a smile: "Uncle, don't you have a question for Catherine?"

Mei Jikang was sitting silently. Seeing his niece's narrow smile, he said, "What questions do I have to ask?"

"Yes, once you meet Catherine, there will be no problems." Xiaomei smiled.

"You silly girl." Mrs. Mei frowned and looked at her daughter angrily.

Doorbell rang.

No one came to announce it yet, but the visitor had already walked in, laughing loudly and cheerfully: "Jane, how are you? I'm not late, am I?"

It's Peter Pang.

Jane stood up and looked at him with a smile - he had changed into a robe today and was very formal. He also held a small bouquet of flowers in his hand, which were also gardenias - she walked over, took the flowers and said thank you.

Peter Pang's brows and eyes were full of smiles. The lingering fragrance of gardenia made his smile and whole body begin to soften.

Jane wants to introduce Mei Mengxian and his party to him. Mei Mengxian smiled and explained that they had met before.

"General Pang led his troops to station near Chongming last year, and he had many contacts with my subordinates, so we got to know each other." Mei Mengxian immediately introduced Peter Pang's family in person. Jane stood nearby and saw Peter calmly and gently greeting everyone in the Mei family. She didn't expect that Peter Pang, a man with a gangster spirit, would be willing to follow the rules like this... Of course, she didn't miss the moment when Peter and Xiaomei's eyes met, Xiaomei's crimson cheeks, and the shining stars in her eyes... She couldn't help but smile.

Another guest arrived, and Peter Pang volunteered to help Jane take care of the guests, and then he really took on this responsibility.

Just after seven o'clock, cars started coming and going outside the Cheng Mansion, and the guests soon arrived.

Jane circulates among the guests, busy and happy.

When someone came to tell them that they could take a seat, she ushered the guests into the restaurant and took their seats.

The small restaurant is elegantly and neatly decorated. The fire in the fireplace added some warmth, the pine wood was burning, and there was a warm pine scent in the air.

Jane's eyes passed by the people on the table one by one: textile tycoon Fu Jiajun, shipping tycoon Mei Mengxian, Mitsui Bank chairman Li Yi, newspaper tycoon Ping Yongan, Father Milner... and her friend Peter Pang. They either attended alone or came with their families, and most of them were familiar with each other. They were whispering and laughing at the table, taking care of not only her as the host, but also the other guests, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Jane also wanted to feel sincerely happy, but looking at their faces, what she was drawing in her mind was a check, thinking about how much amount she could write on the check; and they were talking about business, the current situation, How to make money, or even how to transfer the industry that I have worked so hard to accumulate...

Lao Li, who was neatly dressed, came over and whispered in her ear, and she nodded and said she understood.
