Chapter 203
Rodriguez smiled and raised his glass towards the young couple. "Red is the traditional color most loved by the people of Biluo Country. I believe these two rubies will bring my sincerest blessings to you and your wife."
Bai Shuiru probably knew that Hei Huomian and Rodriguez would meet tonight to discuss mining rights.
Even though there is a custom in business negotiations to give gifts before and after the negotiations to ease the atmosphere, Rodriguez gave such a generous gift as soon as they met. It seemed that the other party was very sure that he would get the highest profit ratio in this agreement, so he cast an inquiring look at Hei Huomian again.
Hei Huomian slowly closed his eyes and gestured, "Your gift is too precious." Then he raised his juice glass and clinked it with Rodriguez's.
"No, I originally wanted to customize it into a finished product and then give it to you, so that it would be more sincere. But I saw from my daughter that Miss Bai's design is indeed very outstanding. Maybe Miss Bai would be more willing to design her own wedding gift herself instead of asking someone else to do it for her."
Rodriguez's words were only well-intentioned and unintentional, but when Bai Shuiru heard them, they hurt a secret place in her heart for no reason.
She clenched her gums, raised her glass to clink glasses with a few people, and then promptly drank half a glass of champagne.
Hei Huomian seemed like a large ferocious cat that was greatly pleased to be worshipped. With a smile on his lips, he took Bai Shuiru's left hand lazily, stared into her beautiful eyes, and smiled:
"Heroes see the same thing."
"Come on, let's drink to the fact that great minds think alike." Rodriguez's approving gaze shifted from the couple to his beloved daughter. "I really hope that my daughter can find a lover like you two, a perfect match made in heaven."
Elaine raised her eyes and met her father's helpless yet doting gaze. She put on a guilty smile and quickly poured herself a glass of wine.
Han Shuli drank in silence while quickly glancing at everyone, seeming to smile at their various ulterior motives.
When two waiters came forward to serve and refill the wine, the secret guard immediately whispered and reminded Heihuo Mian in his ear.
Hearing this, Hei Huomian glanced at the waiter who was pouring wine for Elaine, his pupils slightly turned, and he looked the other person up and down seriously:
Tall, strong, with slightly curly blond hair and violet eyes, but with a beard that a waiter wouldn't keep.
Hei Huomian's eyes moved, he understood something, he slightly raised his dark eyebrows, and curled his lips imperceptibly.
At the same time, Bai Shuiru absentmindedly reached out to pick up the juice glass, not noticing that the waiter had come to his side to refill his glass of wine.
This sudden action prevented the bearded waiter from taking back the bottle in time, and some wine immediately spilled onto the back of Bai Shuiru's hand.
Stimulated by the cold wine, Baishui shuddered, his hands trembled and loosened, not only dropping the champagne glass in his hand, but also knocking over the water glass and red wine glass beside him.
In an instant, the pleasant sound of glass colliding added to the joy and chaos, and the aroma of wine mixed with liquid surged and spread on the clean tablecloth. A small stream of liquid then seeped through the napkin and dripped onto Bai Shuiru's skirt.
Hei Huomian quickly stood up and rushed to Bai Shuiru's side, holding her up with his hand, and comforted her softly:
"It's okay. I'll have someone send you a dress to change into." Then he raised his eyes and glanced at the bearded waiter.
The restaurant manager who was waiting nearby immediately came forward to apologize, and instructed the other waiters in a well-trained manner to clean up immediately and asked them to move to the next table.
This time, Hei Huo Mian sat down beside his fiancée without saying anything, took her hand and comforted her softly:
"The new dress will be here in fifteen minutes, or should I go to the bathroom with you to rest?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Rodriguez smiled approvingly and came to Bai Shuiru's rescue:
“I guess Miss Bai must have had some inspiration and knew how to design these two rubies, so she was distracted.”
Bai Shuiru smiled back at Rodriguez. She replied impatiently:
What kind of plan is that? I'll just use it as a marble and hit Hei Huo Mian's forehead. I'll be happy only when a big bump appears on his head!
Hei Huomian gently held Bai Shui Rusu's hands in his palms, leaned over to her and asked softly:
"You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you." Hei Huomian took the person's hand and stood up, ready to accompany her.
"You accompany Mr. Rodriguez and the others." Bai Shuiru withdrew her hand unnoticeably, lifted her skirt, nodded to the four people, and quickly left the table.
Hei Huomian quickly signaled to several secret guards to follow Bai Shuiru and the female secret guards, and then he looked at the figure worriedly for several seconds before sitting back down at his seat.
In the women's bathroom, Bai Shuiru frowned and leaned in to look at herself in the mirror, seeing a look of surprise on her face.
"Bai Shuiru, you have to keep calm. If that brat Hei Huomian is really a two-timing scumbag, then you should beat him up, publicize his dirty deeds to the world, and then walk away!"
"But if Hei Huomian was just framed by someone, then you must slap the scumbag and stomp her feet into the sea without any ambiguity, and then spread the news so that everyone knows it!"
Bai Shuiru clenched her fist and nodded. She had prepared herself mentally and finally had the energy to deal with the stained dress.
This time, Hei Huomian customized a one-shoulder smoky purple evening dress with several layers of tulle for Bai Shuiru. Red wine had stained a strawberry-sized patch near her left thigh, which was neither big nor small.
Whether the dress was expensive or not was of secondary importance. Anyway, she had not yet determined whether Hei Huomian was loyal to her or not.
But you can't ignore your own face:
As a rising and highly-regarded "Ming·Xin" star designer, if he can't even turn a dirty dress he's wearing into something magical, then he will never be able to make it in this circle.
Bai Shuiru pouted her lips proudly:
Well, let's give Hei Huomian some face.
Bai Shuiru snorted softly, lowered her head to look at the stain on her skirt, then raised her eyes to stare at the necklace in the mirror, and suddenly a fierce look flashed in her slightly narrowed eyes.
Bai Shuiru swiftly took off the necklace and turned it over on the hand towel, looking for the buckle that secured the pendant.
She studied the design of this necklace carefully before wearing it:
The pendant can be used as a brooch.
So Bai Shuiru untied the ivory silk belt she was wearing, folded the stained part of her skirt into pleats, and was about to use the brooch to tilt the skirt upward to fix it, revealing her strong calves and high heels acquired through years of exercise, but then she stopped.
Bai Shuiru, you have never been someone who would allow others to control you.
Bai Shuiru snorted and directly put the belt across her shoulders.
