I thought that in such a social occasion, the other party would at least give me some face and respond.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huanyi said directly: "Not interested."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Old Mrs. Gu burst out laughing.

"Director Lin, don't mind it. This kid has a straightforward personality."

Director Lin has been working in the entertainment industry for some time, so how could he not understand what Mrs. Gu meant by this? Although she told him not to mind it, she was actually telling him not to bother with Liu Huanyi.

"Of course, I'm used to seeing people in the entertainment industry, and I like people like Miss Liu who are straightforward the most."

Director Lin made Mrs. Gu very happy with just a few words.

"Huanyi, come on, I'll take you to meet someone else."

Xu Chuxiao also wanted to go, but was caught by Director Lin.

Director Lin had previously attracted investment from Xu Chuxiao's company, so they still have some friendship.

Director Lin lowered his voice and said, "Brother, tell me who that girl is? Why is Mrs. Gu so protective of her?"

How can I not protect her? She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Gu. Xu Chuxiao smiled in his heart.

But Grandma Gu doesn't know that Liu Huanyi is her granddaughter, but she loves her so much. If she knew, she would hold her in the palm of her hand and no one else could touch her.

"Don't ask anymore. Anyway, this girl is not an ordinary person. Please take good care of her."

Director Lin opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "You are kidding me, right? With the treatment she receives, should I take care of her or should she take care of me?"

"Take care of each other." Xu Chuxiao patted his shoulder with a smile, then stood up and chased after Old Lady Gu and Liu Huanyi.

Director Lin looked at Xu Chuxiao in astonishment. If it was unexpected that Old Lady Gu loved Liu Huanyi so much, then it was simply a spectacle that Xu Chuxiao took such good care of Liu Huanyi.

Xu Chuxiao is well-known for being a gentleman but also well-known for staying out of things. He hardly ever gets involved in or cares about the interpersonal relationships in the circle. This is the first time I've seen him protect a girl so much.

Throughout the entire banquet, Mrs. Gu introduced Liu Huanyi to other people, and Xu Chuxiao was there to protect her. Almost no one dared to toast Liu Huanyi with wine, but everyone was very polite to her.

The heroine didn't show up until the end of the banquet.

Director Lin was very angry but he couldn't show it in front of Old Mrs. Gu. He put on a smile while hiding in the corridor and scolding the heroine.

"What do you do for a living? I finally found an opportunity to introduce you to a big money sponsor, but you failed at the critical moment."

The heroine on the other end of the phone was so anxious that she kept crying, "Director Lin, please help me keep that sponsor. I'll take a taxi over."

"It's too late to come here now!" Director Lin took a deep breath, "Mrs. Gu is old and rarely attends such occasions. Besides, she organized the party tonight. I can't help you. You're on your own."

Director Lin hung up the phone and immediately asked his assistant to find a new female lead.

Just as I sent the voice message to my assistant, someone came down from upstairs.

"Director Lin." Jiang Siyu looked at Director Lin tenderly and charmingly.

"Why are you here?" Director Lin frowned and looked at her, "I don't think I asked you to come today."

Director Lin only invited the leading actor and actress to tonight's banquet, and did not inform Jiang Siyu about the supporting role.

"Director Lin, although you didn't ask me to come, the person you asked to come is late, isn't he?"

Jiang Siyu walked up to him with a smile, and the fragrance from her body vaguely invaded Director Lin's brain.

He was a little confused. "Yes, this Xue Miao failed me at the critical moment. Don't expect me to give her a chance next time!"

"If you don't give her a chance, can you give me one?"

Jiang Siyu stroked Director Lin's face and said, "I also want the role of the heroine."

Her eyes were seductive and her tone was like a little hook.

Director Lin was about to agree, but suddenly received a call from his assistant.

"Director Lin, Mrs. Gu is leaving. Can you come and see her off?"

"Of course I will!"

Director Lin regained his senses and pushed Jiang Siyu away. Jiang Siyu hurriedly called out to him, "Director Lin!"

"We'll talk about it next time. I'll go see Mrs. Gu off first."

This is of top priority.

Director Lin's hurried departure made Jiang Siyu very angry. She finally had a chance to cooperate with the mysterious man, who helped her intercept the heroine, and she came to seduce Director Lin.

I was just that close to success... Damn it...

Jiang Siyu hid in the corner of the lobby, wanting to see what old lady Gu, whom Director Lin had to try so hard to curry favor with, looked like, but unexpectedly she saw Liu Huanyi.

Old Mrs. Gu held Liu Huanyi's hand tightly, and was so happy that she wanted to send Liu Huanyi back first.

If Xu Chuxiao hadn't taken on the responsibility of sending Liu Huanyi back, Old Lady Gu would have had to send him back personally.

She could see that Liu Huanyi didn't like such occasions, but in order to please this old lady, Liu Huanyi didn't turn his face away or show any unhappiness.

The more I watch it, the more I like it.

"Huanyi, would you like to come to my house to play next time?" Mrs. Gu held Liu Huanyi's hand and said, "Bring your parents with you. I want to see what kind of parents can raise such a beautiful daughter like you."

Liu Huanyi and Xu Chuxiao were both stunned, and Xu Chuxiao quickly closed the car door.

"Mrs. Gu, be careful on the road."

"goodbye."

As soon as Mrs. Gu left, the banquet came to an end.

On the way to send Liu Huanyi home, Xu Chuxiao said, "Your mother is always so hypocritical when she goes out for social events. People are treacherous. If you attend such an event alone, remember to protect yourself."

"I see."

Only after watching Liu Huanyi get into the car and leave did Jiang Siyu come out from behind the screen.

Why is it her again? He finally had a chance to turn things around, but he saw Liu Huanyi, this depressed guy.

Jiang Siyu swallowed her saliva, and after returning, she begged the mysterious man to find out the relationship between Liu Huanyi and this project.

"If she's also in this project, I definitely won't be able to act in it. You have to help me."

The mysterious man glanced at her calmly, "Are you afraid of her?"

"I'm not afraid of her!" Jiang Siyu hastily denied it. Seeing that the mysterious man didn't believe her, she had to say, "I just want to take revenge on her, but once she hears my name, she will definitely use all means to prevent me from performing."

"When did I ever say that I would let you use your real name to participate in the show?"

The mysterious man threw a document at her and said, "I have prepared a fake identity for you. Your new name is Jiang Yu. I am from Cannes. My parents are wealthy businessmen. I learned piano and ballet since I was a child. Because I broke a finger, I had to give up piano and become an actor."

Jiang Siyu read the information carefully and was very satisfied with this new identity.

"You even prepared my ID for me. How thoughtful."

Jiang Siyu gave her a sweet kiss and fiddled with the documents, and found a medical record, which read: The patient suffered necrosis of the nerve in the little finger of his left hand due to force majeure, and one third of it was removed.

"How am I going to disguise this?"

"Did I tell you to pretend?"
