Chapter 155 Auntie, I Understand
"Oh." Song Zhiwei was often compared with Shen Jingmo when he was a child, and he was used to it.
"Do you want to go together?" Tao Ran asked again.
Song Zhiwei crossed his arms and said proudly, "No, I can't eat anything right now, so it would be redundant for me to go."
Song Zhiwei just went to the hospital for a follow-up examination yesterday. Although the recovery results were good, the doctor told him to continue eating light food for recuperation. Perhaps Song Zhiwei would not listen at other times, but since this concerns his voice and career, it is rare for Song Zhiwei to be obedient.
Besides, he could stay and keep an eye on Shen Jingmo to prevent him from sneaking up on his sister.
Each of them is very busy at work, and Song Zhiyuan usually doesn't have time to have dinner with her mother alone. Since they rarely get together, the mother and daughter go shopping in a luxury store first.
Tao Ran is the spokesperson for Qingfeng High-end. Tao Ran usually purchases clothes from this store for events or daily wear. Even many clothes in Song Zhiyuan's wardrobe are from Qingfeng.
The clerk couldn't help but praise, "Ms. Tao has a great eye. These clothes are all the latest styles. When worn by Sister Song, they elevate our brand to a higher level."
"Ms. Tao, we have two new styles on the way. Would you like to take a look at them later? They are the designer's new fall couture pieces. You can wear them to the dinner."
There will be several charity dinners in the circle next quarter. The invitations have been sent to Tao Ran, and Tao Ran has confirmed his participation in several of the endorsement events.
"Okay." Tao Ran sat down on the sofa, "Baby, are you hungry?"
The clerk was very considerate and continued, "Miss Song, we have desserts and Western food in our store. What would you like?"
Song Zhiyuan had to accompany her mother to a big meal soon. "Dessert, thank you."
Soon the waiter brought a small piece of tiramisu and a cup of American coffee. "Miss Song, I don't know what you like to drink, so I took the liberty of serving you an American coffee."
"I usually drink American coffee." Song Zhiyuan replied with a smile.
Song Zhiyuan was replying to messages in the work group while taking sips of cake.
Hearing a customer coming in, the clerk said something to Tao Ran and went to greet the customer.
Lin Jianing entered the store holding Yang Rao's arm. The clerk came forward and greeted them with a smile, "Excuse me, what would you two like to choose?"
Yang Rao knew that he had little chance with Song Zhiyuan, so he chose Lin Jianing as a second choice. After all, Lin Jianing was the daughter of the Lin Group.
The Lin Group is far from being comparable to the Song family's business, but it is more than enough to help him solve his current predicament.
What's more, that incident caused a lot of uproar on the Internet.
"Let's take a look first." Lin Jianing stood obediently beside Yang Rao and spoke to the clerk in an especially gentle voice.
Lin Jianing looked at the clothes hanging outside, turned around and saw Tao Ran sitting by the window.
Lin Jianing couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. She didn't expect to meet Tao Ran while shopping. As long as she had a good relationship with Tao Ran, she would definitely have no problem interviewing for a role in a movie.
Lin Jianing took Yang Rao's hand and ran towards Tao Ran.
Yang Rao also noticed the mother and daughter sitting by the window eating snacks, and unconsciously withdrew his hand from Lin Jianing.
"Teacher Tao, it's really you. I thought I was seeing things." Lin Jianing pretended to be surprised. When she turned around, she found that Song Zhiyuan was also here, and not only that, she was so intimate with Tao Ran.
Song Zhiyuan had always said that she had no plans to enter the entertainment industry, but now she is trying to please Tao Ran so much. It turns out that she is deceiving the public.
Tao Ran looked at Lin Jianing with suspicion, "You are..."
Tao Ran found Lin Jianing quite familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Seeing this, Lin Jianing quickly introduced herself, "Teacher Tao, my name is Lin Jianing. I interviewed for your movie this morning and appeared on a variety show with Mr. Shen."
Tao Ran had some impression of Lin Jianing, but his expression was rather cold towards her, and he just nodded perfunctorily.
Seeing that Tao Ran didn't respond, Lin Jianing took the initiative to flatter him, "Teacher Tao, you also like to drink iced American coffee. I also drink a glass of iced American coffee every morning. It helps reduce swelling."
"Auntie Tao, senior sister." Yang Rao greeted awkwardly.
Lin Jianing looked at Yang Rao in surprise, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect that Yang Rao actually knew Tao Ran. But then again, Yang Rao was a businessman and usually had some business cooperation with these celebrities, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.
"It's Xiao Yang. Auntie didn't recognize you just now." Tao Ran didn't have much impression of Yang Rao. She only remembered that Yang Rao was Yuan Yuan's university classmate.
Tao Ran glanced at the two of them and smiled knowingly, "Xiao Yang, are you here to go shopping with your girlfriend?"
"No, Auntie, Miss Lin and I are just ordinary friends." Yang Rao deliberately kept a distance from Lin Jianing, trying to struggle.
Tao Ran looked as if he understood.
Artists in the entertainment industry keep their love affairs absolutely secret, for fear that their revelation will affect their careers. Especially for those who have just entered the circle like Lin Jianing, their agencies will pay special attention to love affairs.
Who would bring ordinary friends to visit such high-end luxury brands?
"You guys continue shopping. Auntie has something to do, so I'll excuse you." Tao Ran's interest in continuing shopping had been completely interrupted. She took Song Zhiyuan's hand and walked to the clerk, saying, "We have something else to do. Please just send the clothes to my house later."
"Okay, Ms. Tao and Ms. Song, take care." The clerk respectfully saw the two off.
Lin Jianing could feel that Yang Rao was deliberately avoiding her just now. It would be even better if she could use Yang Rao's connections to get a movie role. Maybe Song Zhiyuan also used Yang Rao's connections to get to know Tao Ran.
Lin Jianing tugged at Yang Rao's sleeve and asked, "Brother Yang Rao, how did you know Tao Ran? Can you introduce me to him? I'm currently competing for a role in Tao Ran's new movie."
Yang Rao's eyes were still fixed on the direction Song Zhiyuan had left. After being shaken a few times by Lin Jianing, he regained his composure and said, "Tao Ran went to school to see Song Zhiyuan and we bumped into each other by chance. Tao Ran and I don't have a very good relationship, so I'm afraid I can't help you with anything."
"Don't you two know each other through business?" Lin Jianing asked, seizing the key point.
"Of course not." Yang Rao didn't want to continue this topic. He was in no mood to go shopping.
Lin Jianing gradually realized what was happening and asked cautiously, "What is the relationship between Song Zhiyuan and Tao Ran?"
"Mother and daughter." Yang Rao glanced at his phone and made a perfunctory excuse, "Miss Lin, I have some things to deal with at the company. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue shopping with you today."
"You can pick whatever you want here, just put it on my account." Yang Rao said without giving Lin Jianing a chance to react, and strode away.
When Tao Ran won three Golden Horse Awards and her career was at its peak, she chose to get married in secret. The media did not announce who Tao Ran married at the time, and fans speculated that it was an amateur. They never expected that Tao Ran would marry Director Song.
