Chapter 77

Mu Changzhu had just poured tea for Bai Siyu and placed the cup in front of Bai Siyu.

"Drink some water first. If it's not Du Jing, then who is it?"

"I don't know yet. There are too few clues."

"Could it be... twin sisters?"

"No, I don't think they are related by blood at all."

Bai Siyu frowned.

"That's so right, why did they suddenly change someone? Is it because Du Jing is sick or something, and the company hired a replacement?!"

The shepherd tapped the tabletop lightly with his knuckles.

"Generally speaking, entertainment companies don't do this."

"Yeah, that's totally untenable. If you're sick, just tell your fans. Are you afraid of breaking contracts for variety shows and TV series? But illness is force majeure, right? It's different from intentional breach of contract anyway."

Bai Siyu felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

But he still doesn't quite understand it now.

"Forget it, let's wait a few days and see, maybe Du Jing will come back."

Bai Siyu picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Delicious!

......

The Mu family had not entertained guests for a long time, and this was the first time in many years that they sent out invitations to various guests. All the wealthy and powerful people attached great importance to the invitations and were very cautious.

Many people started to pack and prepare early in the morning, even though the party was not to start until 7pm.

Bai Siyu still has to go to class that day, and it’s early in the morning!

He got up with great pain, his hair was a mess and he didn't have time to comb it, so he just went to wash in his slippers.

When he came back from washing up, he saw Xu Zhensheng sitting on the bed holding his cell phone with a worried look on his face, his brows wrinkled so much that they could kill a fly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Bai Siyu asked casually.

"Hurry up and wash up."

"Bai Bai, didn't you see what Nianjun's future career would be?"

Bai Siyu was stunned by Xu Zhensheng's sudden question which came out of nowhere.

"I can't predict a person's future with 100% certainty. People's fate can change."

Of course, even if he saw it, he couldn't just say anything.

"Nianjun is going to enter the entertainment industry. A scout has approached her! She said she wants to try it out..."

Xu Zhensheng hung his head.

"That's not bad, Li Nianjun's looks won't be a problem for him to be in the entertainment industry." Bai Siyu squeezed Dabao a little and rubbed his face violently.

"How can it be the same!" Xu Zhensheng felt like he was suffocating. "We finally got together. We've only been together for a month. Long-distance relationships are painful and insecure. Now she's going to enter the entertainment industry. We...I..."

"But you can't stop her from choosing this path."

"I, I know..." Xu Zhensheng's eyes were a little red, "Of course I won't stop her from flying farther. I hope she can shine brightly, but I... I just feel anxious and uncomfortable. I can't control it. Besides, the entertainment industry is so chaotic. What if she is bullied by those beasts in human skin? Those people..."

"Hey, Old Xu, you're thinking too much. You don't even know how far she'll go. Besides, didn't a scout just come looking for her? She hasn't signed a contract yet, has she?" Pang Guanchao also got up. He sat on the bed with his eyes closed, and weakly called out, "Oh no, I can't stand it anymore. It's too early. I feel like I'm going to die..."

"It seems she has already signed the contract. She told me only after she signed the contract."

Xu Zhensheng's eyes were red.

Bai Siyu glanced at Xu Zhensheng's useless look.

"You can actually enter the entertainment industry. You look pretty good."

"Yes, yes." Pang Guanchao still closed his eyes and fell down again. "Old Xu, you are actually no worse than those male celebrities when they were amateurs. I have seen photos of many current popular male celebrities before they were packaged. In fact, they look very average, not even as good as you. The appearance of people in our entertainment industry is getting worse with each generation..."

"Really?! Can I really do this?! Xiaoyu, can you see me entering the entertainment industry in the future?!!"

Xu Zhensheng suddenly became excited.

Bai Siyu yawned.

"Didn't I tell you that one's destiny can be changed? Don't keep asking me about your future."

Bai Siyu said as she picked up her schoolbag and prepared to leave. Peng Cheng happened to have just returned from washing up and said quickly, "Xiaoyu, wait for me! I'll be right there!"

Seeing that Bai Siyu and Peng Cheng were about to leave, Pang Guanchao reluctantly got up from the bed and prepared to wash up.

Only Xu Zhensheng sat on the bed in silence, not knowing what he was thinking about.

**

Today is a full day.

Bai Siyu worked from around eight in the morning to around five in the afternoon, and felt like he had been tortured by the ocean of knowledge and turned into a flattened hairtail.

He was feeling empty, completely hollowed out!

Du Wu was already waiting at the east gate of Peking University. Bai Siyu jogged all the way and arrived at the school gate at 5:50.

"Master Bai, don't be anxious." Du Wu looked at Bai Siyu who was panting and hurriedly opened the door for Bai Siyu.

Then when the car door opened, Bai Siyu saw that there was no shepherd's candle in this stretched Lincoln, but there were several unfamiliar faces.

"Master Bai, this is makeup artist Jin Xiangnuan, and the other two are stylist Sun Yuanan and his assistant."

Bai Siyu remembered that Pastor Cang had mentioned to him two days ago whether he wanted to dress up for the banquet and whether he would invite a professional makeup artist or stylist.

He had never done it before, so he agreed enthusiastically.

Now I feel like backing out...

I don’t know why, but looking at the things these people have in their hands, he feels a little scared!

Du Wu didn't see Bai Siyu's little thoughts, and said: "Master Bai, the Third Young Master told us that we should change our clothes after we arrive at the Mu family, and the rest can be done on the way."

Bai Siyu reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"All right."

Jin Xiangnuan looked at Bai Siyu with a smile: "Oh, Master Bai, I finally met you. I am your fan. I have liked you since the Cantonese Restaurant case! You are much prettier than in the live broadcast! You don't even need makeup, I can only try to make it better!"

"That's right." Sun Yuanan next to him also echoed, "Come on up, everything is ready in the car, including makeup mirrors, dressing tables, and so on."

Bai Siyu got into the car obediently.

I saw that the place where the sofa, refrigerator and bookcase were placed the day before had changed its appearance and turned into a large and long dressing table. Next to the glowing dressing mirror were piles of bottles and jars.

Bai Siyu: “….”

It's because it's an extended Lincoln.

It can hold so much!

Bai Siyu sat in front of the dressing table and began to let others do whatever they wanted for an hour.

This was also the time when the roads in Beijing were the most congested. A journey that usually took less than 40 minutes took an hour this time.

By the time they arrived at the Mu family's house, it was already seven o'clock.

The once deserted and elegant manor's outermost gate is now bustling with traffic, bright lights, rows of top-of-the-line luxury cars, and exquisite figures in haute couture suits and gorgeous evening gowns everywhere.

Talking and laughing happily, the air is full of luxury.

Bai Siyu widened his eyes slightly.

This scene seems to be much more grand than the banquet held by the Lin family!

And this is the scene before Bai Siyu entered the Mu family.

The luxury cars of the VIP guests were required to be parked outside, but the gate was quite far from the banquet venue in the villa, so the Mu family security personnel drove back and forth to take the guests in.

However, the stretched Lincoln that Du Wu was driving was originally the Mu family's own car, so Bai Siyu did not need to get out of the car and was directly sent to the back of the main villa by Du Wu.

"Master Bai, we are almost there. Please wait for a minute."

The stylist was spraying something on Bai Siyu's hair. At this moment, Bai Siyu looked like a little prince in linen clothes. He was incredibly beautiful and exquisite, and shining. Only his clothes were left, which looked a little shabby.

Makeup artist Jin Xiangnuan covered her chest with her hands and smiled like an auntie.

Really beautiful...

But she didn't actually put on much makeup, mainly just to emphasize the light and shadow, because Bai Siyu's skin and bone structure are both top-notch and there is nothing that needs to be adjusted.

"alright!"

Sun Yuanan grabbed the last strand of hair with satisfaction and clapped his hands.

“Perfect!”

Bai Siyu couldn't help but sneezed violently at the mirror.

"A-choo——"

Bai Siyu stretched out her hand and wanted to rub her nose, but Jin Xiangnuan quickly pulled her back: "Oh, don't move, don't move. If you rub it, all the makeup will be gone. The foundation is thin to begin with."

Bai Siyu turned around and looked at her innocently with a pair of extremely beautiful and clear black eyes: "......"

Jin Xiangnuan suddenly felt a sense of guilt!

Ahhh no, she had to hold it in.

"Why don't you rub it first, and then I'll give you some."

"Master Bai, are you ready?"

Du Wu urged her softly outside, after all, Bai Siyu hadn't changed her clothes yet.

The party had almost begun.

"Okay, okay." Bai Siyu turned around and jumped out of the car. With his back to Jin Xiangnuan, he secretly rubbed his nose with his hand, at a very fast speed!

Jin Xiangnuan: “…”

She saw it!

But Bai Siyu is so cute, what should I do?......

I can't say it out loud.

Bai Siyu followed Du Wu and walked around the back of the villa. He vaguely saw the luxurious and brightly lit main banquet hall. The vigorous and strong Old Master Mu was giving a speech, and everyone's eyes were all on him.

But Mu Changzhu, who was a few steps away from Old Master Mu, seemed to be aware of something. He held a high-footed glass cup in his hand, with the bright red wine reflecting the light. His sharp eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the southwest corner of the corridor, just in time to see the corner of Bai Siyu's clothes as she sneaked upstairs.

A gentle smile instantly melted the corners of his eyes, which had always been cold and reserved.

Yu Mengyou happened to turn her head to look at Mu Changzhu, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. The sound of blood rushing echoed in her ears.

She had never seen a pastor with such a gentle smile. This pastor looked so...

Just like she had dreamed before.

She almost forgot that the first person she fell in love with when she was a teenager was Pastor Cang.

Seven or eight years ago, when she was only eighteen years old, she also wanted to be brave and confess her feelings, but Pastor Cang was always more gentlemanly than warm towards her.

Even though their two families were so close, Pastor Candle treated her no differently than he treated anyone else.

Pastor Cang always seemed to have a subtle sense of distance from these childhood friends of theirs. It couldn't be said to be cold, but just a kind of... very decent and impeccable sense of distance.

She was always disappointed.

In addition, Pastor Zhu's health has gradually deteriorated in recent years, and she feels even more hopeless.

Although her family liked the Pastor Candle, they would never let her be with a Pastor Candle like this.

She has been staying abroad.

But now Pastor Cang's illness has healed, and he is different from before. Not only has he returned to the outstanding and attractive person he was ten years ago, but he has also become more handsome and gentle.

Yu Mengyou couldn't help but feel a subtle hope in her heart...

Zhao Ruohao stood next to Yu Mengyou. Seeing that Yu Mengyou was staring at Mu Changzhu, he couldn't help but look over there.

"The long candle seems to have changed a little."

He hasn't been back for a while, but not as long as Yu Mengyou. Two years ago, he went to the pastor's house and chatted with the pastor Changzhu for an entire afternoon.

At that time, Pastor Cang could no longer stand up and could only move with the help of a wheelchair and others. He looked very uncomfortable at the time, but Pastor Cang remained very calm and spoke as calmly as usual, without any embarrassment or resentment.

He admired Pastor Cang, even though he was one year younger than him.

But Pastor Zhu was indeed the person he respected the most among all the people he had ever met.

"But this change is good." Zhao Ruohao said to himself, "The long candle seems to be not so cold anymore."

Yu Meng's young fingers gently hooked onto a piece of gauze at the waist of her dress.

"It seems so."

Zhao Ruohao wanted to say something when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up and looked at it, then immediately said, "Ye Zi and Xiao Xi are here, I'll go pick them up."

Zhou Ye and Wen Ruxi are their other two childhood friends. They had been in love since they were young. They ended their ten-year relationship a year ago and got married early. They now live abroad and they came back specially to attend the banquet.

Yu Mengyou nodded and smiled: "I haven't seen them for a long time."

On the other side, Bai Siyu quickly changed his clothes in the room where he had lived before, while Du Wu was waiting outside.

"Fortunately, I didn't eat too much these two days."

Bai Siyu tugged at the corner of his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror, and smiled cockily.

"There's a difference between being well-groomed and not being well-groomed!"

"Buzz." Bai Siyu's cell phone on the sink suddenly rang, and he quickly picked it up.

It was a message from Chief Shepherd Candle.

"Ayu, after you change your clothes, come directly to me."

"Well, I'll go down now!"

Bai Siyu replied quickly.

Originally, Master Mu was planning to bring him and other members of the Mu family with him at the beginning of the banquet, saying that he wanted to introduce him to everyone, but Bai Siyu politely declined.

Although he is not socially anxious, he still feels a little embarrassed about this.

Moreover, he did not want to make an official appearance in such an overly luxurious occasion as Shepherd Candle's savior.

He suggested that the pastor's family should declare in the "official statement" that Pastor Cang was sick and recovered, and there is no need to say that it was his credit.

It's okay to mention his help in private.

Bai Siyu washed his hands, picked up his phone and left the room.

When he sneaked down the corridor, some of the more formal greetings and speeches were over and the banquet had officially begun.

Bai Siyu immediately spotted Mu Changzhu who was standing not far away, and immediately walked over quickly with his long legs.

But when he was halfway there, a tall and handsome figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Hello, Master Bai. I have heard of your great reputation for a long time. I am so happy to finally meet you today."

Bai Siyu involuntarily took a step back and his face wrinkled rapidly.

What the hell, it stinks!!!
