Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 228 Day 224 of Being the Boss

He asked Xu Yisong to attend the dinner on his behalf mainly to let Xu Yisong show her face in the circle. Although Xu Yisong will not inherit the family business, it does not mean that she will not participate in the affairs of the group. Moreover, she has opened her own company now, so it is always a good thing to have more connections.

The most important thing is that Grandpa Xu feels that his health has deteriorated a lot in the past two years. He is very afraid that his condition will worsen and he will suddenly die one day in the future.

Only when people get old will they realize how close death is to them. Grandpa Xu is not afraid of death. He is just worried that no one will be able to protect Xu Yisong after he is gone.

If you rely on a mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Only your own strength is the hard truth. So Grandpa Xu wanted to let Xu Yisong get in touch with these as much as possible while he was still alive, and accumulate more of her own connections and power, so that even if he passed away and the group really excluded Xu Yisong, she would be able to protect herself.

There are a total of 16 items for auction at this evening party, all provided by the club's top members. The item Xu Yisong brought this time is an ancient painting of horse training from the Song Dynasty, which is one of her grandfather's collections and is in line with the theme of this charity dinner.

All the proceeds raised from the auction will be donated to charitable projects in which the Jockey Club is responsible.

After the auction was over, Xu Yisong simply completed the task assigned to her by her grandfather and then ran to the dessert area to hide away.

"Sister Yisong, I didn't see you in front, but I knew you were here." Xu Yisong knew who was coming just by hearing the voice.

For those who came to the charity gala tonight on behalf of their elders, Xu Yisong only needed to go through the motions and show off his face among the bigwigs. Xu Yisong's aunt's husband's family also invited the younger generation to attend the dinner. The person who came was Lin Yanxin, who invited her to attend the cocktail party when she came to Hong Kong to attend the MAMA awards ceremony last time.

Xu Yisong leisurely picked a small cake for himself at the buffet counter, and handed a piece to Lin Yanxin and asked, "Why did you come here when I'm here to have some free time?"

At a cocktail party, Lin Yanxin should be socializing in the front, so why did she come to find me?

Lin Yanxin sighed slightly and refused Xu Yisong’s cake. She has been controlling her sugar intake recently.

"Sis, I'm here to have some free time, so am I." Lin Yanxin shook the wine glass in her hand and took a sip. Maybe the wine didn't suit her taste, so she subconsciously frowned the moment it took a sip, then quickly relaxed. Her facial expression management was even better than that of the idols on stage.

Xu Yisong didn't believe her at all. No matter who came here to have some free time, Lin Yanxin wouldn't be here to have some free time.

Although she is the youngest daughter in the family, Lin Yanxin's ambition is not small at all. In her family, there are many brothers and sisters of the same generation. If she doesn't want to become cannon fodder, she naturally has to fight for herself with all her strength.

In occasions like this, Lin Yanxin is the most active and never wastes any opportunity to make connections.

However, Xu Yisong guessed wrong today. Lin Yanxin really came here to get some quiet time.

Recently her family started introducing her to blind dates. She didn’t like them very much, but the other party seemed very interested in her and had been looking for opportunities to ask her out. She had always refused with various reasons. She didn’t expect to meet him here after hiding for so long.

Lin Yanxin really didn't want to chat with that man, but due to the relationship between the two families, she didn't want to offend him, so she could only find an opportunity to slip away quietly.

Xu Yisong was a little surprised to hear Lin Yanxin's explanation, "Don't you have a boyfriend who you've been dating for a long time?" She remembered that the boy and Lin Yanxin were college classmates, and she saw the news about the two of them dating not long ago. When did they break up?

Facing Xu Yisong's slightly puzzled look, Lin Yanxin shrugged helplessly and said, "For people like us, does having a boyfriend or not affect our blind dates?"

Hearing this, Xu Yisong was slightly stunned for a moment, then recalled the conversation between her aunt and her and laughed, "That's true."

Although Lin Yanxin said it in a relaxed manner, Xu Yisong could still see that she was not as carefree as she appeared to be, and she seemed to have not let go of her boyfriend who she had not broken up with yet. However, with Lin Yanxin's ambition, she and that boyfriend would not last long.

The reason they haven't broken up this time may be because they still like each other, but more importantly, the person they are marrying with is not worth the price Lin Yanxin has paid.

Love is the least valuable thing to Lin Yanxin. Recalling the news she had seen about Xu Yisong, she raised her eyebrows and said, "You and your boyfriend seem to have a good relationship. Do you really plan to spend your whole life with him?"

For Lin Yanxin, interests always come first, and it's okay to talk about love, just as a spice of life. But looking at Xu Yisong, it seems that he is really serious and really intends to have a future with an artist in the entertainment industry.

To be honest, she was not optimistic about Xu Yisong's relationship. In her opinion, love was the most unstable thing. Who could guarantee that the person you like now would not change in the future? Only the power you truly hold in your hands would never betray you.

Just like her elder sister, who was madly in love with her actor boyfriend, she still chose to marry a well-matched partner arranged by her husband.

Xu Yisong did not respond to Lin Yanxin's words. It's not that they were right or wrong, but they were pursuing different things and had different ideas.

Feelings are indeed something that is difficult to control. Life is long and no one can guarantee that feelings will remain unchanged. But while this relationship still exists, Xu Yisong will treat it seriously. Even if there is really no love, she will not feel regretful when they finally break up.

She wasn't willing to trade her feelings.

Maybe many people can't understand, but for Xu Yisong, feelings are indeed more important than many things, and can even be said to be the most important thing. Of course, Xu Yisong's feelings do not only refer to love, the part she values refers to all the important emotions in her life, including family, love, and friendship.

When these things are measured together with money, power and status, Xu Yisong will choose the former without hesitation.

It's stupid, but Xu Yisong can't help it. This is the basic color of her character and she can't change it herself.

The two of them didn't talk much about this topic, and just let it go after a few words. After all, they weren't close friends.

Lin Yanxin looked at Xu Yisong who was leisurely standing aside with a hint of envy in her tone: "Sister, you are living a comfortable life without all these worries." What she was fighting for now, when it came to Xu Yisong, someone had already prepared everything for her, and she didn't even really want it.

As expected, people’s joys and sorrows are not the same at all.

Hearing this, Xu Yisong just smiled and asked her, "If you were in my position, you would probably look down on these things, right?" Even if their positions were really right, Lin Yanxin couldn't really live like she said. And if she became Lin Yanxin, she wouldn't have the ambition and perseverance she had.

If she had half of Lin Yanxin's ambition and patience, she wouldn't have gone to the United States alone for so many years.

If you want to get something, you must make sacrifices. Lin Yanxin had to endure the discipline from her family for wealth and power, while Xu Yisong chose to exchange wealth and power for freedom.
