Chapter 35: Both Acting and Standing

At six o'clock in the evening, Wen Liang got off work and went straight to the underground garage to wait for Fu Zheng.

After a while, Fu Zheng also came down.

The driver took the two to a private styling studio.

After putting on makeup and styling her hair, Wenliang went inside to change her clothes and walked out holding up the hem of her skirt.

Fu Zheng had finished his styling and was sitting on the sofa waiting. When he heard the voice, he looked over and was slightly stunned.

The woman had on delicate makeup, her pair of peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, captivating, and her lips were painted with lipstick of the same color as her eyeshadow, making her look passionate and enchanting.

Her hair style was not formal, it was let down as usual, with slight curls on the sides to frame her face.

She was wearing a light blue one-shoulder long dress, which exposed her two round shoulders and made her skin look as white as porcelain.

Wen Liang walked up to him and turned around: "Is this style okay?"

Fu Zheng came back to his senses and nodded, looking at the shoes on Wen Liang's feet: "Your ankles are just right, will they be uncomfortable if you wear high heels?"

"Nothing."

"Let's change to flat heels."

Wen Liang thought of the child in her belly: "Okay."

Fu Zheng waved his hand and asked the staff to bring a pair of flat shoes to match the skirt.

Wen Liang sat down on the sofa, bent down to take off her shoes, and Fu Zheng squatted in front of her, "Let me help you."

He held Wen Liang's ankles with his big hands, took off her high heels one by one, then picked up the flat shoes in the shoe box and put them on Wen Liang one by one.

Wen Liang looked at him.

His movements were cautious and careful, his face was serious, and his elegant and smooth profile deeply attracted Wen Liang.

After changing his shoes, Fu Zheng stood up and said, "Let's go."

"This is my first time going there. If there are any rules, please remind me." Wen Liang took the initiative to hold Fu Zheng's arm.

"Yeah. Going to this kind of party is just killing time. There will be an auction of jewelry at the charity dinner. If you have anything you like, you can tell me."

"good."

Arriving at the banquet venue, the two walked hand in hand across the red carpet and entered the venue.

"Boss Fu is here. It's really rare to see him."

"Mr. Fu is in a good mood."

"Mr. Fu, the project in the east city..."

Several men in suits and ties came up with their female companions, and they were like the sun surrounded by stars.

Fu Zheng exchanged a few words with them.

A man pointed at Wen Liang next to Fu Zheng with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Mr. Fu, who is this?"

"My sister is warm and cool."

Wen Liang greeted them with a smile.

"So this is Miss Wen. I've heard of you for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you."

"Miss Wen should participate in more of these activities."

After a few pleasantries, Fu Zheng whispered in Wen Liang's ear, "There are a few friends over there. I'll go say hello. There's food over there. If you feel bored, you can go sit over there for a while. I'll come find you when the auction starts."

"good."

Wen Liang walked towards the dessert area, selected a dessert, took a glass of white wine and sat in the lounge area, eating while secretly observing the people at the dinner party.

Those who came to the dinner were all celebrities in Jiangcheng and had some wealth.

Wen Liang had never participated in such an event before.

She knew her own worth. First, she was not the biological daughter of the Fu family, and second, she did not grow up in the Fu family. People in the circle were polite to her on the surface, but they might not look down on her in their hearts.

Just like the friends around Fu Zheng, except Jiang Mu, Wen Liang always feels a distance when interacting with other people. Unlike them, when they treat Chu Siyi, they can joke and laugh without restraint.

They are people from the same circle.

A fashionable woman came to greet Wen Liang, "Hey, why are you sitting here alone?"

Wen Liang looked up at her and smiled slightly, "My foot was injured a few days ago, and I can't stand for long."

The woman glanced at her ankle and said nothing more. She sat down next to Wen Liang and poked Wen Liang with her elbow. "My name is Su Chen. What's your name?"

"Warm and cool."

Su Chen moved closer to Wen Liang and whispered, "I just saw you come in with Fu Zheng. How did you get to know him?"

Wen Liang turned to look at Su Chen, looking her up and down carefully.

Su Chen's outfit looks expensive, but it is actually an outdated style. The bag she is carrying is an old model of a niche brand.

Seeing Wen Liang remained silent, Su Chen continued, "Looking at what you're wearing, Fu Zheng must have spent a lot of money on you, right? Rich people like them should be harder to hook, right?"

"I don't know about that."

"Don't be like that. Can you please teach me some advice? You don't know how stingy I am. I begged him for a long time before he brought me to this dinner. I wanted to kick him out a long time ago."

"I don't know, I didn't hook him." Wen Liang stood up and left with the wine glass and dessert, and found another place to sit down.

Seeing this, Su Chen snorted coldly.

You're already a whore, why are you still pretending to be pure?

People kept coming in at the banquet hall door.

Wen Liang raised his eyes inadvertently and suddenly saw a familiar figure - Chu Siyi.

She also came to the charity dinner.

"What are you looking at?" A male voice came from his ear, and Zhou Yu sat down next to Wen Liang.

Wen Liang came back to his senses and glanced at Zhou Yu in surprise: "Why are you here too?"

"My agent asked me to come. I didn't expect you to be here too. How's your foot injury?"

"Almost done."

"That's good. Are you alone?"

"I came here with President Fu."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows. "I just saw Chu Siyi and thought she came with Fu Zheng. Well, isn't that right?"

Wen Liang looked in the direction Zhou Yu pointed.

Looking across the sparse crowd, she saw Chu Siyi standing in front of Fu Zheng at some point. The two were talking, and Fu Zheng had a gentle smile on his face. They looked like a perfect match.

Wen Liang's face turned pale and he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

She looked away and changed the subject, "When does Yunshui City start filming? When will you join the crew? If I have time, maybe I can visit you on set."

After saying that, Wen Liang regretted it.

She spoke without thinking, and only after she finished speaking did she suddenly realize that the heroine of Yunshui City was Chu Siyi.

Zhou Yu, however, took her words seriously and said with a smile, "That's what you said. I'll be joining the team at the end of the month. I'll let you know then. You must come and visit me on set."

Wen Liang said "hmm" absentmindedly.

Zhou Yu took the initiative to find a topic, and the two chatted for a while.

Zhou Yu casually said, "The charity auction is about to begin. I guess Chu Siyi will sit with your President Fu. Why don't you sit next to me?"

Wen Liang shook his head and refused: "No, there might be reporters."

Zhou Yu didn't force it and nodded, "That's true."

Seeing that Wen Liang had finished the dessert in his hand, Zhou Yu asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"Then please help me get a piece of matcha cake, thank you."

Zhou Yu stood up and went to the dessert area to get two pieces of matcha cake, "Here."

"Thanks."

"Warm and cool."

Someone called her.

Wen Liang raised her head and found that Fu Zheng had come in front of her at some point, with darkness in his eyes.

"Mr. Fu."

Zhou Yu greeted Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng's gaze fell on Zhou Yu. He looked him up and down, nodded indifferently, and said to Wen Liang in a deep voice, "The auction is about to begin. Please take a seat with me."

"Okay." Wen Liang smiled, stood up and said to Zhou Yu, "Goodbye, let's talk next time."

A dark light flashed in Fu Zheng's eyes.

"Let's talk next time." Zhou Yu said.
