Chapter 716: Chapter 716: This is His Girl!
Chu Liyuan took Jian Jian by the hand and slowly walked toward the dance floor…
As the melodious music began, Jian Jian danced gracefully with her uncle.
Despite the vastness of the dance floor, not a single person dared to step onto it at that moment; they all just quietly watched the two dance leisurely.
The most perplexed was Qin Rou.
Knowing her uncle as she did, and how much he cared for Jian Jian, she couldn’t believe he would do nothing.
Yet, the reality was that he really didn’t do anything.
“Jian Jian, when did you learn to dance?” He clearly remembered the last time he danced with Jian Jian, she had been completely clueless about dancing.
But today, Jian Jian’s steps were surprisingly proficient.
“I learned a long time ago!” Jian Dan lifted her chin proudly, though a touch of sadness flickered in her eyes.
After their last encounter, Jian Dan knew that with her uncle’s status, such events would surely be frequent in the future, so she had learned to dance in order not to embarrass her uncle when the time came.
It was just that afterwards, though she had learned, there was no opportunity for her to dance.
How could the hint of sadness in Jian Dan’s eyes possibly escape Chu Liyuan’s notice?
He guessed much of it in his heart, thus he didn’t continue to inquire.
In the future, he wouldn’t let Jian Jian have such a look.
The music suddenly changed, turning into an intense tango…
The two seamlessly transitioned their steps, Chu Liyuan’s arm tightened around Jian Dan’s waist, and with a beautiful dip, they commenced the tango…
Not just those present, but even Qin Rou, Yuan Xinjie, and the others did not expect Jian Dan to be able to dance, let alone so well.
Her coordination with Chu Liyuan was nothing short of perfect.
They were all a bit stunned.
Off to the side, Xinyue was filled with a more intense hatred.
She hadn’t expected Jian Dan to have this skill; indeed, she had somewhat underestimated her before.
But even so, she had no thought of giving up.
Men, aren’t they all fond of novelty? She never believed that a man would choose to hang himself from the same tree, unless they really had no other choice!
Especially a man like Chu Liyuan – it would be unimaginable for him to lack women around him.
So what if Jian Dan is by his side today? Who knows if someone else, even herself, might stand by his side tomorrow?
Since fate had granted her this opportunity, she naturally would not let it slip through her fingers.
For this man, she had even kept her virginity intact. In the treacherous entertainment industry, preserving one’s virginity is no easy feat.
But Xinyue was a woman of great ambition. From the day she entered the industry, her goal had never changed; she aimed to be at the very top of the pyramid. Naturally, she needed an ace that others did not possess.
The smirk on Xinyue’s face betrayed her resolve to achieve her goal at any cost.
The dance ended…
With a stunning final pose!
A warm applause filled the room!
All eyes were drawn to the second floor as a spotlight shone there…
There stood a man with slightly gray hair, his face showing signs of age yet still unable to hide his handsome features, his figure lean and devoid of the beer belly typical for someone his age.
This man was none other than the host of tonight’s party, the owner of the estate, Ying Tian!
He walked straight toward Chu Liyuan, extending his arm with a stringent smile, “I had no idea Mr. Chu would honor us with his presence tonight, it truly is my privilege!”
Everyone in the circle knew that Chu Liyuan seldom attended such social gatherings!
Mr. Chu did not even deign to glance at the offered hand.
Though Ying Tian was slightly embarrassed, the other party was Chu Liyuan, so he naturally said nothing, quietly retracting his hand while maintaining the same smile, daring not to show a trace of dissatisfaction!
