Chapter 131: There is no need to say that you like it
Jess and Jace arrived at the location of the dinner, Gila Mann, which was the dinner held at Caitlin's house.
Although Mel and Jess have become the richest men in Piltover for two generations, the wealth of the Giramann family cannot be underestimated, especially since the Giramann family has a century-old history in Piltover and is an established brand. Nobility, therefore, has some things that more than just having money can make up for.
Jess and Mel are too young, their future is immeasurable, and their wealth will increase, but their connections and qualifications will slowly increase over time.
"How about it? My house is big enough, right? But Caitlin's house is even more spectacular. I remember when I first came to her house as a child, I was shocked by her house."
"The decoration in the garden alone is already richer than the entire Tallis family." Jess looked emotional, hugged Li Ke, and said to Li Ke with a smile: "If you need it, I will I can help you buy a house and you can move to the city.”
Jess looked like a rich man, with a bit of pride in his eyes when he said this.
Although he has a beard and looks middle-aged, in fact, Jace is in his youth, and he is only five or six years older than Li Ke.
"It's very big, but I don't like it." Li Ke shook his head when he heard this and rejected Jace's kindness.
He looked at Jess and said with a smile: "I still prefer my home in Dicheng. These places are too spacious and I can't get used to living there."
Jess was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and without forcing himself, he and Li Ke entered the dinner venue arm in arm.
The servants of the Giraman family did not stop him, because Jace had often visited the Giraman family before he created Hex, not to mention that he is still the richest and most distinguished person in Piltover. , these servants certainly have this vision.
They may not know Li Ke, but someone who can hook up with Jace is not someone they can go up to check the invitation.
Entering the room, many people had already arrived early. The hall on the first floor was very empty. A few people in gorgeous clothes were chatting. Soothing music was playing in the hall. In the words of the Zaan people, it was upper class. music.
The appearance of Li Ke and Jess also attracted the attention of everyone present.
The group of people looked at Li Ke with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
At this moment, Li Ke was wearing a light gray uniform and black expensive leather shoes. His hair was pulled back with hair wax, revealing his full forehead.
After arranging his hair and changing his hairstyle, Li Ke looked very energetic. In fact, Li Ke's appearance is not so handsome. Just talking about his facial features, Jace next to him can overpower Li Ke. Even if Jace He has a big beard.
Li Ke can't beat Jace in terms of looks, let alone Wei. To be honest, Wei's facial features are really the most exquisite person Li Ke has ever seen.
When he first saw Shuangcheng, Li Ke felt that Wei was the biological daughter of a modeler, because her facial features were too exquisite, her face was small and beautiful, her nose and lips were heroic, but her eyes were feminine. of softness.
To be honest, if Wei puts on men's clothes and looks cool and handsome, then the male compatriots will really have nothing to worry about at today's dinner.
But there is one thing about Li Ke that even Wang Wei cannot compare with Shuangcheng's exquisite facial features.
That's the eyes. Li Ke's eyes have changed a lot in the past two years. Now, it's not too much to describe his eyes as beautiful, beautiful, and treasure.
This is because the charm ability Ahri gave to Li Ke slowly changed Li Ke's image, and his eyes were already moving closer to Ahri's direction.
His Ionian appearance and thin body make Li Ke's temperament look gentle, elegant, and gentle. Coupled with such a pair of eyes, Li Ke's lethality will be much greater.
Because of this, someone immediately came to chat with me.
"This must be the Lord of Zuan, Mr. Li Ke, right?"
"Nice to meet you, Congressman Li Ke. I am Tucker, the second son of the Lineman family."
"Member Li Ke, good evening."
A group of people came towards Li Ke and Jess and greeted them warmly.
Of course I have to come up. These two people in front of me are the highest-status people in the two cities!
Li Ke also responded one by one. Of course, Li Ke would not put on a bad face to people who came with good intentions. Instead, he would chat with everyone with a smile.
It wasn't until Jess on the side started to get a little impatient and had a bad look on his face that the group of guys took the initiative to say not to disturb Li Ke and Jess, and then left.
"Jace, why do they look so afraid of you?" Seeing this, Li Ke asked Jace curiously as he and Jace walked to the second floor.
"Ha, those guys deserve scolding." Jess rolled his eyes, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter holding the plate next to him, handed one to Li Ke, picked up one and drank it in a big gulp, and then said ：
"Li Ke, unless you really have business to discuss with them, don't give them a good look."
"These guys will pester you if you give them a good look. Anyway, I'm very annoyed by them. They are doing business every day, 365 days a year. I really don't know what they do to make so much money." .”
"Isn't wealth just enough?" Jace muttered.
Li Ke drank champagne and was a little speechless after hearing Jace's words.
Damn it, is this Versailles?
Of course you, Jess, don’t care about wealth. You are already the richest man, so what do you care about?
He and Jace found a place to rest on the second floor. The two chatted and drank wine. Li Ke squinted his eyes and listened to the soothing music in his ears, watching the sky get darker little by little.
After a while, Mel came up and called Jess away, accompanied by Councilor Gila Mann. Mel asked Li Ke if he wanted to go. Li Ke thought for a while and shook his head.
Looking at the time, the Zaan people will arrive soon, and Li Ke is going to receive them.
Mel didn't force it and left with Jess.
Li Ke sat alone at the table against the guardrail on the second floor, quietly drinking wine and tasting snacks.
The food for the dinner had been placed one by one. The first thing to be put on the table were some exquisite pastries. There were several types that looked like macarons to Li Ke. He ate one and it was particularly delicious.
Therefore, Li Ke thought that Jinx and Isa would definitely like to eat this stuff. Thinking about it, he put more on his plate and planned to eat it with Jinx later when Jinx arrived.
Then, hot dishes were served, with a heating device placed underneath to maintain the temperature of the dishes during the dinner. Li Ke looked at them and selected a few that he had not eaten before.
Those who can enter this dinner tonight are all rich and noble people in the two cities, especially Mrs. Piltover. In their understanding, the food at the dinner is often just a decoration, used to entertain the family. A time to show off your muscles.
The "dignity" of the nobles did not allow them to eat like hungry ghosts. If other families saw this, they would think that the xx family had no money and had never eaten.
It's very embarrassing.
Therefore, Li Ke, who was wearing a gorgeous uniform and had an excellent temperament, but looked down at every piece of food and then picked up a lot of food with tongs, was very conspicuous.
"Who is that?"
"It seems to be the lord of Zuan, Councilor Li Ke."
"Is he so young?"
"Before I came, my mother asked me to go up and say hello to him. Do you want me to come over?"
"Is he still single?"
Li Ke, who returned to his position, moved his ears and heard these sounds. He was surprised. Didn't Mel warn them?
Then, Li Ke looked towards the source of the sound.
Just over there, there was a group of girls from Piltover.
One of the girls made Li Keduo take a look twice because her hair color was a bit shockingly pink.
Li Ke's brows raised, a little surprised by the other party's appearance, and then he withdrew his gaze.
It’s hot and sour noodles.
The one with shockingly pink hair, wearing a white princess dress, sitting silently next to a bunch of girls, was Seraphine.
But why did she appear here? Wait, it doesn't seem strange that she appears here. Although Seraphine's parents are Zaun, they relied on their talent and hard work to allow Seraphine to be born in Piltover, and she was able to travel to Piltover. She wanted to go to City University to study, but Seraphine didn't go because of her own reasons.
It can be seen that the Seraphine family is not short of money.
Li Ke remembered that her family seemed to run a stereo and various musical instrument shop in Piltover. They also opened several factories in Piltover and hired many Zaun people as workers. That is to say, Seraphine's father had helped many Zaun people.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Seraphine would appear here. Her family can be considered a minor noble.
The singer is a city girl.
"Ah, he looked over!"
"Who was he looking at just now? Was he looking at you Karina? I think he must be looking at you. You are the most beautiful girl among us!"
"Really? I also think he is looking at me. Do you think I should go up and say hello to him?" The girl with red hair, who looked underage, blushed.
This girl named Karina is indeed very good-looking, with a palm-sized face, a fair oval face, and permed and curled red hair that touches her cheeks charmingly.
However, this big perm on her young face made her look like a child pretending to be an adult?
"Hi, Congressman Li Ke, are you here alone? My name is Karina. I am a relative of the Gila Mann family. Nice to meet you~"
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Encouraged by the little sisters, Karina had the courage to come up and say hello to Li Ke.
Li Ke tilted his head and saw Karina and a group of girls surrounding them, including Seraphine.
Li Ke smiled and said gently: "No, I came with others, but the person I was waiting for has not arrived yet."
"Is it Senator Tallis?"
"It's not him, it's a Zaunite."
Seraphine raised her head and glanced at Li Ke secretly.
Karina was confused for a moment after hearing what Li Ke said. Then, the little girl summoned up the courage to say: "Then when we dance at the dinner party, do you have a dance partner? Can I invite you?"
"Sorry, Karina, I have a dance partner, the one I'm waiting for." Li Ke replied.
Li Ke would not be so cold-faced as to drive away these girls. After all, he is not that narcissistic. They come here just to say hello to Li Ke and come with good intentions. They do not really want to be with Li Ke. Something happens.
If Li Ke refused and scolded the other party with a cold face, what would he call it?
After listening to Li Ke's words, Karina's lips moved, as if she felt a little embarrassed. The little girl was thin-skinned. She lowered her head and said sorry for disturbing her. Just as she was about to speak, Li Ke took the initiative and said:
"By the way, Karina, what kind of dances do you usually dance at your Piltover dinner parties?"
He continued: "My wife and I are both from Zaun and are not very good at dancing, so we are a little worried about this matter."
"Ah! Senator Li Ke, are you already married?" Karina covered her mouth with her hand and said excitedly: "You got married so early?"
"My wife and I are childhood sweethearts and have known each other since we were very young," Li Ke told her.
Karina and her little sisters both jumped for joy and chirped:
"You and your wife were childhood sweethearts? That's great!"
"Well, Congressman Li Ke, usually at dinner parties in Piltover, everyone dances ballroom dancing, playing soothing music, and then hugging each other and walking around on the dance floor?"
"Member Li Ke, I have been learning these dances since I was a child. It is actually very simple. You just need to hold your wife's hand, put your other hand around her waist, and pace back and forth on the dance floor."
< br>
"Anyway, there will be many people dancing together, and no one will pay special attention to you."
Karina and her little sisters began to give advice to Li Ke.
Li Ke smiled and agreed.
This group of little girls came and left quickly. They said goodbye to Li Ke and then returned to their places.
But Li Ke heard a small murmur.
"Liar." Seraphine lowered her head and whispered.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard Seraphine's voice, and then he smiled.
Yes, Seraphine has the ability to hear voices deep in people's hearts. Li Ke did lie to Karina and the others just now.
After all, he and Jinx weren't married yet.
At this moment, there was suddenly some excitement down there.
Li Ke looked up and saw a group of people entering the dinner party.
The guy at the head was wearing an oversized suit and had a pair of terrifying sharp claws. What was even more disturbing was that there were a lot of gray and black hairs coming out next to his oversized black trousers.
The Zaunites are coming.
Fandel took the lead, followed by Silko, followed by a group of Zaun councilors.
The father-in-law was wearing the same clothes today as before, the iconic vest and coat, holding a scepter, his hair combed back meticulously, but he had a pair of black gloves on his hands, and he was walking in calmly.
Li Ke looked back and saw Wei and Caitlin coming in. Don't worry about why Caitlin came with the Zaans
Anyway, they came together.
Wei was wearing men's clothing, which looked a bit like a waiter's clothing. A red fake rose was pinned to the left chest of the white dress, paired with Wei's fiery red hair that was combed back, and the smug look on her face. The angry little expression has a certain charm. Li Ke looked at it and felt that Wei's image was a bit like the one in the Deacon series skin?
Beside her, Caitlin was wearing a long blue dress and high heels, which made her almost a head and a half taller than Wei. Caitlin, who had taken off her hat, was smiling. Follow Wei.
Behind Vi and Caitlin was a blue-haired girl with her hands behind her back.
He walked into the scene with long legs and a strange expression on his face.
There was just a simple lipstick on her fair face. She wore a denim jacket made of hard fabric and a beautiful white dress inside. Li Ke was very familiar with that dress because it was It was Li Ke's birthday gift to her.
Under the hem of the skirt was a pair of black short boots, and on the swaying wrist was a very ordinary silver bracelet. Her smart eyes scanned the venue, and then, it seemed that she didn't find the person she was looking for, so she looked at the two floor place.
Then, with bright eyes and white teeth, he smiled.
"Hey, Li Ke~"
She raised her hands behind her back and waved to Li Ke who was jumping up on the second floor.
She was obviously well-dressed and cute, but her movements were still full of childishness.
"Come up quickly, Jinx." Li Ke stood up and pressed the guardrail, shouting towards the bottom of the building.
His behavior was noticed by Karina and other girls. The girls quickly looked up curiously, and then they knew who Congressman Li Ke's wife was.
It goes without saying that you like someone because your eyes don't deceive.
In this lively dinner tonight, there were many beautiful women, wearing red dresses, black dresses, white dresses, and all kinds of gorgeous dresses, but Senator Li Ke's eyes were all on her.
