"It's nothing, you heard it wrong." Lin Guoan, who accidentally slutted, waved his hand, and maintained the spirit of moving you and I, and adapting to the change, adjusted his expression and tried to make himself look calm and composed.

As long as he doesn't say it, can Tang Ruoyao forcefully pry her mouth open?

Tang Ruoyao rarely listened to the wrong words. Because Lin Guoan was talking to her about important things, she was extremely focused, so she was extremely sure that he was talking about the word "girlfriend". There were only a few commonly used combinations of "girlfriend". Tang Ruoyao subconsciously added "friend" to his mind.

girlfriend.

Whose girlfriend?

Hers?

Who is your girlfriend?

Tang Ruoyao must figure it out.

"Director Lin." Tang Ruoyao called him softly.

Lin Guoan was drinking with a bottle of mineral water in one hand. He pretended to be thirsty and glanced at Tang Ruoyao, with his eyes indicating that she had something to say.

Tang Ruoyao's eyes were like a rookie: "Last time Qin Ying came to the crew, we had dinner together, did you find something?"

Lin Guoan's eyes dripped, and he vaguely said "um" and took the second tone, and combined with his frown brows, it represented surprise.

And pretending to her.

That day, Tang Ruoyao was distracted from time to time and didn't eat much. He even went to the bathroom halfway through. The lipstick left by Qin Yinong on her lips was conspicuous and she saw it at a glance.

It is impossible for Lin Guoan to not discover it, and with the subsequent care, he obviously knows it.

If Lin Guoan doesn't say it, of course she won't take the initiative to expose it.

"Director Lin." Tang Ruoyao's thoughts were made of lightning, and suddenly changed his name, and his voice softened, "What did Sister Qin say to you?"

Lin Guoan said in his heart and thought angrily: The truth is revealed and he is about to give me dog food!

Lin Guoan stopped his hand to fill his water, twisted the bottle cap, and said lightly: "I didn't say anything. Didn't You Mingxuan harass you at that time? Just let me be careful and don't let you accidentally take advantage of others."

Tang Ruoyao's heart beat slowly, and his breathing became lighter unconsciously.

It's somewhat unexpected, but not reasonable.

She could understand Qin Yinong's motives. She is now in the contract period, regardless of her heart, her body belongs to her, and it is normal for her not to want others to take advantage of her. In addition, it is because she never thought that Qin Yinong would specifically explain to Lin Guoan.

Does this mean that she is different from Qin Yinong after all?

Tang Ruoyao subconsciously thought, and was excited because of such speculation. Before the joy could be revealed from her eyebrows, she quickly forced herself to get rid of this idea.

She can no longer be easily shaken by Qin Yinong's words.

Tang Ruoyao turned his head: "She said I am her girlfriend?"

Tang Ruoyao convinced herself in her heart that she just wanted to understand this matter, not with hope, that's all.

But her eyes were uncontrollably staring at Lin Guoan's subtle facial expression, for fear of missing a little key information.

"Yes." Lin Guoan said.

Tang Ruoyao suddenly lost all his strength, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed as the answer came out, and a smile that seemed to be happy and sad appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Guoan: What's going on??????

Lin Guoan frowned and said, "Are you two having a conflict?" Qin Yinong had a very happy chat with him yesterday.

"Nothing." Tang Ruoyao shook his head and raised a sincere smile.

Even if it is one, the word girlfriend is enough to bring a perfect end to this relationship that is destined to have no end.

She has been happy because of her lover, and it is worth not to be loved.

Tang Ruoyao picked up the topic that Lin Guoan had just said halfway, deliberately avoided Ji Yunyao's name and asked others about it. She did not show off her dog food, so Lin Guoan naturally enjoyed seeing it, and gently exposed the page together.

Mr. Jiang’s 70th birthday was organized by his son Jiang Shilong. Jiang Shilong was in his forties and was wearing a simple and formal dress with luxurious and expensive dark gray suits in the details, and welcomed guests in person at the door.

The red carpet was so paved that it seemed like there was no end to see. Both sides were lined with artificial landscapes. From the door opened, you could see that the lights were brightly lit inside. Guests wearing champagne glasses were whispering in groups of three or three, all of which were news and familiar faces they had seen on TV.

Showing an invitation letter to the handsome waiter guarding the door, Tang Ruoyao held the black signature pen handed over by the other party and left his name elegantly on the signature board. There were not many people invited to the banquet, just pay attention to the sight on the signature board for two more seconds to see it completely.

Qin Yinong's signature Tang Ruoyao privately imitated it to the point of being fake and real. She confirmed at a glance that Qin Yinong was not on it.

Didn't come? Or come later?

Tang Ruoyao entered the red carpet with Lin Guoan's arm in his arms. The dark blue off-shoulder dress was decorated with diamonds, and his waist was not fully secured. His exquisite makeup and cold temperament instantly became the focus of the audience.

For any banquet, social factors are indispensable.

Tang Ruoyao quietly swept across everyone present, and most of them also cast different eyes on her, a very unfamiliar face in the "upper circle". After a few breaths, someone took the initiative to step forward.

Lin Guoan whispered in her ear. Tang Ruoyao matched the other person's face with his name in his mind, took a wine glass from the waiter's tray, raised his red lips slightly, and touched the visitor gently.

The opposite side is a man in his early thirties. He is not good-looking but his status cannot be underestimated.

Everyone here - except for the only two directors who have worked with, the others are people whom Tang Ruoyao is usually out of reach, and it is also an excellent opportunity. She has a strong spirit and is fully focused, and talks with everyone in front of her.

Lin Guoan sent the Buddha to the west, so he simply accompanied him throughout the journey. With Lin Guoan on his side, Tang Ruoyao's nervousness eased a lot. After chatting with several business masters for a while, Lin Guoan pulled her to a director.

This director is the first director Tang Ruoyao collaborated with. The two had a friendship before, reminiscing about the past and talking. Tang Ruoyao finally relaxed completely, and she realized that the sweat was oozing from the palm of her left hand.

The three of them had a great time chatting, but the sound in their ears suddenly stopped.

Tang Ruoyao turned his head and found that everyone's eyes were looking in the same direction, so she followed her.

At the door was a young woman, about 170 years old, tall and slender, with a familiar face. She had just finished signing, threw the pen up lazily, hitting the tray, then took the silk handed over by the assistant behind her, and slowly wiped the fingers holding the pen.

Before the young woman turned her face, Tang Ruoyao heard Youdao's deliberate voice saying, "Mr. Xiao Ji."

As the man's words fell, the woman turned around.

This person is Ji Yunyao.

Tang Ruoyao was stunned. The last time she saw Ji Yunyao, wearing a long dress, looked like a girl next door. This time she changed into a gray casual suit and a colorful platinum diamond watch on her wrist. Her every move showed her elite temperament.

Only the elusive smile on the corner of her lips was still the same as before.

If the banquet was a pile of warm water at the beginning, Ji Yunyao would raise the temperature of the water several degrees as soon as he entered the venue. Almost everyone looked at Ji Yunyao, and their eyes were filled with urgency.

Ji Yunyao's eyes did not squint and her steps did not stop for anyone. Although she was smiling, her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, making people dare not offend easily.

She is the only luminous body that holds the stars.

Tang Ruoyao's thin lips were slightly pursed, and under the other party's light, he felt uncontrollably inferior.

Ji Yunyao is dazzling and is the real pride of heaven. Unlike her, she is just struggling in the quagmire and reflects a little light with the light of the sun. This light is like a grain of rice to the moon in front of Ji Yunyao.

If she were Qin Yinong, she would have treated Ji Yunyao differently.

"Xiao Tang?" Lin Guoan saw that Tang Ruoyao's face was not very good, so he asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Tang Ruoyao shook his head slightly.

Why did she think of Qin Yinong again?

Don't you think she will die?!

Tang Ruoyao cursed himself in his heart.

Ji Yunyao found a place to lie in her, holding a wine glass in her hand, with a young or older face coming over, chatting with her, and cursing her in other words.

Ji Yunyao went in her left ear and came out of her right ear, trying to sneak away, but because of her father and Mr. Jiang, she was here to be a mascot.

After finally sending one away, Ji Yunyao was bored and gaze was on the scene. Seeing Tang Ruoyao standing with two men whose hair was almost white, the corners of her lips suddenly curled with interest.

...It turns out that the "disobedient and obedient little thing" has also come.

Ji Yunyao looked up at the stairs, put down one of her hand holding the table, her lazy body slowly stood up, and Shi Ran walked towards Tang Ruoyao.

"Old Jiang is out!" I don't know who shouted this.

Ji Yunyao looked at Tang Ruoyao, who was only a few meters away, and said in secret that it was a pity that he could only look up the stairs with others.

Old Birthday Jiang, wearing a black Tang suit, embroidered with golden dark patterns, and holding a dragon-head crutch in his hand. He stood in the corridor on the second floor, with half white hair and a deep pattern between his eyebrows, and he was powerful without anger.

Mr. Jiang is undoubtedly the protagonist of today's banquet, but what is more eye-catching than him is that he is holding Mr. Jiang's arm on his left hand, with a red cheongsam, a graceful and generous Qin Yinong.

Tang Ruoyao's eyes magnified slightly.

Although she forced herself not to think about Qin Yinong, she had been secretly paying attention to whether there was any of the people entering the venue. She thought Qin Yinong would not show up, but Qin Yinong actually came out with Mr. Jiang, and was on par with Mr. Jiang's son, as if she was a family member.

Not to mention Tang Ruoyao, even everyone in the scene was secretly shocked.

Ji Yunyao raised her eyebrows gently, and the deeper the smile at the corner of her eyes, but it was not enough to reach the bottom of her eyes.

Her sister-in-law is so capable that she conquered Mr. Jiang quietly. Who else dares to stop her in this circle in the future?

Ji family, Mr. Jiang, Ji Yunyao's eyes are deep, Qin Yi is deep, how high do you want to climb?

Qin Yinong and Jiang Shilong helped Mr. Jiang downstairs from left to right. Mr. Jiang stood in the middle of the center and clicked on the crutch on the ground. Under the gaze of everyone, he delivered his birthday speech.

Old Jiang is getting stronger and stronger, full of energy, and there is no decline at all.

"Thank you for taking the time to attend Jiang's birthday party..."

The audience was watching Mr. Jiang. Except for the two, Tang Ruoyao was secretly observing Qin Yinong secretly, while Ji Yunyao's eyes were circling between Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao.

Qin Yinong's eyes fell quietly on his teacher, as if he was focused.

Halfway through speaking, Mr. Jiang suddenly glanced at the side and found that his good disciple was in a daze. His tight lips were slackened, and his faint smile appeared.

“…I hope everyone can enjoy the fun today.”

After the speech ended, applause rang out on the scene.

Mr. Jiang used tea instead of wine, and drank it all in one go, officially kicking off the banquet.

Qin Yinong came back to his senses and came over to help Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang retreated and avoided her hand that was stretching out. Qin Yinong looked helpless and said, "Teacher."

"Inside..." Old Jiang was closer to her, his old eyes were bright, and he asked in a low voice, "Which is Tang Ruoyao? Is she here?"

Qin Yinong: “…”

"I didn't pay attention. I'll help you to rest first." Qin Yinong said, intending to get away with it. She never thought that her teacher refused to let go and walked forward with a crutch: "If you don't say it, I'll ask myself."
