Early in the morning, the WeChat guest group was buzzing non-stop.
It has been snowing for the past few days, and Li Changsi's biological clock is a little messed up. He touched his cell phone and saw that it was already eight o'clock.
Xuan Yiyi tried on ten dresses in a group chat, asking which one looked best on her. Each dress had a sweeping skirt, revealing her shoulders and slender waist. It's easy to see how women can truly withstand the cold for the sake of beauty.
Li Changsi got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, ordered breakfast, and then found out that Song Xingyue had sent her a private message in the middle of the night.
Song Xingyue: Changsi, can I take your friend’s car to go there tomorrow?
He then posted two more messages, then retracted them. He was clearly very conflicted, but still very determined to get a ride.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course not!"
Song Xingyue is the original novel's heroine, and her aura is unmatched. She hasn't even completely seduced Lu Qi yet, so how could she let another woman ride in Lu Qi's car? If Lu Qi were to be captivated by the heroine's aura, that would be disastrous.
Just look at the setting where her female supporting character is unable to refuse Bai Zhuo, which is a ridiculous setting, and you will know how annoying it is.
Thinking about this, Li Changsi was shocked to realize that the character Lu Qi didn't even exist in the original novel. Even Wei Zhenxi didn't appear. It wasn't until the very end, when Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue announced their relationship, that the Bai family's storyline began.
So she unlocked a new map?
"Ding Dong, the map of wealthy families is unlocked~" A mechanical voice flashed through my mind, almost inaudible.
Li Changsi: "..."
She was now certain that she was bound to a female supporting role system. This system had been pretending to be dead for a long time, and would only appear to punish her when she seriously violated the female supporting role's character. Then, when she had figured out new clues on her own, the system would beep a little late, as if it was afraid that she would hear it.
Is this a defective product?
"Ding Dong, repair progress of defective product 1921 is 19%."
Li Changsi smiled and said, "Okay, she is indeed a cannon fodder female supporting role, and the system she is bound to is also a damaged defective product."
She poked at her phone and slowly replied to Song Xingyue: How about you take a ride in Bai Zhuo's car?
When Song Xingyue saw the reply, she was stunned. She hadn't expected Li Changsi to reject her so directly. Wasn't she panicking at all?
Although Li Changsi became popular because of variety shows, the entertainment circle and the wealthy circle are different. In the entertainment circle, you can survive as long as you have traffic, but in the wealthy circle, family background is the threshold. Many female stars are scrambling to marry into a wealthy family just to enter that circle.
She came from an ordinary background, and Xuan Yiyi was hostile to her, so Song Xingyue wanted to go with Li Changsi, whose background was even worse than hers, and see if she was really riding in her friend's car or in Bai Zhuo's.
As a result, Li Changsi actually rejected her.
Song Xingyue was speechless for a moment.
Song Xingyue: How about we both take Brother Zhuo’s car?
Li Changsi smiled instantly. It turned out that he was coming for Bai Zhuo.
Li Changsi: Send me your home address and I will ask Bai Zhuo to pick you up at noon.
If the hero and heroine are brought together sooner, she can escape from her misery sooner, focus on her career, and support a beauty like Lu Qi at the same time.
Song Xingyue sent the location directly.
Li Changsi forwarded Song Xingyue's location to Bai Zhuo: "This is the address at noon. Tag me in the group."
Bai Zhuo: Good.
Li Changsi got up and took a nice bath, taking care of her hair and skin. Looking at her beautiful and glowing self in the mirror, she did the test paper while waiting for Lu Qi to come over.
Lu Qi arrived at the apartment before lunch. When Li Changsi opened the door, she saw that he was still wearing a noble black suit, a black turtleneck sweater and a matching black fur-collared coat. His handsome and sculpted features were cold and white, and his thin-framed glasses covered up all his emotions. He looked gentle and dark, so handsome that it would make people's legs weak.
Song Mao was holding a lunch box, standing in the background with an expressionless face.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes and opened the door: "Mr. Lu is a little strange today."
"Hmm?" Lu Qi glanced sideways.
Li Changsi smiled meaningfully: "Very handsome."
Crazy handsome. Suddenly, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have brought Lu Qi to Xuan Yiyi's birthday party. If a group of rich daughters came out to challenge her, would she focus on her career or defend her love?
Male beauty can mislead people, what Kyubey said is right!
Lu Qi smiled softly and said gently, "You probably haven't had lunch yet. Let's go after you finish eating."
"OK."
Lu Qi brought a pot of soup that he had stewed overnight at the mountaintop manor. It was nutritious and nourishing. It was still hot when he brought it over. He only needed to heat it up slightly to drink the hot soup, which was the ultimate enjoyment in winter.
"This soup is so rich and delicious."
Li Changsi's eyes lit up. The taste was no worse than that in Lane 49.
Lu Qi curled his lips and said, "Drink more if you like."
Song Mao took out the custom-made suit and shoes for his husband from the car and brought them in. He sniffed the tempting aroma and curled his lips. The chef hired from Lane 49 had cooked it all night with the best ingredients. It was crispy and tender. How could it not taste good?
My husband has a light diet and he has never paid so much attention to his diet before. Yesterday he even asked the housekeeper what would be a good idea to bring him. He was afraid of eating sashimi which was raw and cold, and he was afraid of getting a sore throat from hot pot, so he finally decided to have soup.
"Sir, the dress and shoes are here."
"Um."
Li Changsi looked at the exquisite packaging box.
What if the gigolo she wanted to support was richer than her? She should work hard to make money, otherwise she would feel like she was being supported by Lu Qi. This would somewhat damage the reputation of the Great Zhou Emperor.
"Try on the dress after you finish eating. Your clothes should all be bought by your agent, right?"
Li Changsi: "I don't have time to buy it."
It was because I was poor before, but now I really don’t have time to buy it.
Lu Qi nodded and said he would take care of it from now on.
Afraid she'd eat too much and wouldn't fit into her gown, Li Changsi only ate a small bowl of soup before trying on the dress. Upon opening the gift box, she was stunned by the large white feathers inside. It was an off-the-shoulder white lace gown with a skirt covered in white feathers.
She tried it on and found the hem of the dress was just the right length with her high heels, not dragging on the ground. Plus, the fluffy feathers were warmer than regular materials. The white feather dress matched Lu Qi's black and white outfit perfectly.
"Lu Qi, does it look good?"
Li Changsi was wearing a formal suit and leaning against the door.
Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze was deeper than usual. "We still need matching jewelry. I think it should be in the jewelry box."
Along with the gift box came three necklaces, a sapphire necklace, a diamond necklace, and a pearl necklace. Li Changsi picked the pearl necklace, lifted her hair to one side, and the ending tone was charming.
"Help me take off the necklace."
"Um."
The man's dry and slightly cool fingers lifted her scattered hair and helped her tie the necklace. Even his breathing was heavy where his fingers touched her skin.
The scent of the opposite sex invaded the skin behind the ear, but it only touched briefly before retreating.
Li Changsi was still unsatisfied. For the first time, she felt that the other party had a perfect sense of propriety. She was obviously the one who was teasing, but she was aroused by him.
She was originally only interested in Lu Qi's face, but now she was very interested in him as a person. She wondered if a man like him who was so controlling yet calm had ever lost control.
It was getting late, so the two of them set off quickly. Song Mao drove.
As soon as Li Changsi got into the car, he saw his phone beeping like it was about to explode, with group messages and private messages all bursting out.
Lu Qi changed his car this time, a black Cullinan, which was spacious and comfortable. After she got in the car, she lifted the hem of her beautiful soft feather skirt to the side, leaned on Lu Qi's shoulder, and lazily read the group messages.
Tian Ye: Let’s go, let’s go. Whoever arrives last today will be the puppy.
Meng Xun: That can't be me. I've already been on the road for an hour. Sports car.jpg.
Tian Ye: Brother Meng, this is my dream car. Please lend it to me for two days.
Meng Xun: Get lost. My wife and car are not for loan.
Tian Ye: Oh, oh, oh, little deer, where are you? Let’s meet up and walk together.
Lin Lushen: Brother Rong just picked me up and we are getting ready to leave the city. Brother Rong looks super handsome today, just like he is giving a piano concert. I am looking forward to Sister Changsi’s look today.
Rongshu:smile.jpg.
Bai Zhuo: We are almost at the community. @李长思
Tian Ye: Brother Zhuo, are you going to pick up Changsi? Didn't Li Changsi say she was bringing her boyfriend?
Song Xingyue: ???
Xuan Yiyi: ???
Bai Zhuo: ???
The Weizhen River, which had not bubbled for a long time, was finally blown out.
Wei Zhenxi: @李长思, if I had known I would have turned down eight surgeries to go today! This world is going crazy!
Did Li Changsi really flirt with Lu Qi? Oh my god, that's impossible! Who is Lu Qi? Can he be flirted with casually? If she hadn't flirted with Lu Qi, her death would have been even more miserable. No matter what, Li Changsi is dead!
The group exploded instantly, and Li Changsi was tagged crazily. Seeing that she did not respond, everyone started to bombard her with private messages.
Bai Zhuo: So the address you sent was Song Xingyue's, and you want me to pick her up? Li Changsi, you're amazing!!!
Three exclamation marks, Li Changsi raised her slender and charming eyes, and could imagine Bai Zhuo's face ashen and furious.
She curled her lips into a smile and wanted to type "No need to thank me", but she was afraid of irritating him and making him do something irrational, so she simply didn't reply.
Song Xingyue: I'm already in Brother Zhuo's car. Changsi, thank you. Do you really have a boyfriend?
Tian Ye: Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Changsi, I accidentally let the cat out of the bag. I really thought Brother Zhuo was there to pick you up, and that you had broken up with your brother-in-law. It's my fault. Please use the Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty, and I won't say a word. Oh, oh, oh~
Seeing that there were too many messages and it was too troublesome to reply to them one by one, Li Changsi typed slowly in the group: @田野, you are dead.
Li Changsi: @Everyone, our relationship isn't stable yet. We just got her two days ago and we haven't even held her hand. Don't spread the word. If she runs away, I'll come looking for you!
The group chat was dead silent. Flirting? Li Changsi had taken the initiative. God, with her face and figure, she still needed to initiate flirting, and even held hands after flirting with her? Was that guy not good enough?
After a brief silence, everyone typed.
Lin Lushen: Didn’t even hold hands?
Meng Xun: Is he not capable of this?
Tian Ye: Changsi, why don’t you consider breaking up? Brother Zhuo is a good guy. It’s impossible that he doesn’t even dare to hold your hand, cough cough.
Xuan Yiyi: @Tian Ye, do you want to die? @Li Changsi, if you can't, change it as soon as possible.
Song Xingyue: Platonic love is not acceptable.
Bai Zhuo: Let’s change!
No man would not have fantasies when looking at Li Changsi's face, unless he doesn't like women or is unable to do so.
Li Changsi lazily lifted her thick, curly eyelashes, glanced at Lu Qi's infuriatingly handsome face, then glanced at the screen full of "no" and laughed softly.
"Hmm?" Lu Qi turned his head and saw that she was smiling like a cunning little fox, with her soft hair rubbing against her shoulders. He inexplicably felt that the space in the car was cramped and stuffy, and wanted to take off his coat.
"Amo, turn the heat down a bit."
"Yes, sir."
Lu Qi took off his coat, and then saw Li Changsi rubbing against him like a noble and beautiful cat. This time, he could feel the heat even more through the thin turtleneck sweater.
"Oh, did I squeeze you? This skirt is so beautiful, I'm afraid it will cause wrinkles." Li Changsi looked at his superior and delicate jawline and sexy Adam's apple, blinked her eyelashes, and the end of her tone unconsciously curled up.
He's so pretty, and he's really aloof and a good man. He probably won't be clingy in the future. He's perfect. My collecting habit from my previous life seems to have come back. I want to collect him.
"No." Lu Qi lowered his eyes and let her lean on him without looking at her delicate and fair little face.
Song Mao, who was driving, was so angry that he didn't want to talk.
There was such a large space in the back seat that her big feather skirt almost took up half of the seat. Then she sat next to her husband, pushing him aside. It was really disgusting.
Ever since he followed the master, the master has been aloof and aloof, with no experience in getting along with the opposite sex. He was completely manipulated by a master of teasing like Li Changsi. He was so angry!
"Your phone is ringing."
Lu Qi picked up his phone and saw it was a message from Wei Zhenxi: "Are you with Li Changsi?"
Wei Zhenxi knew he didn't like replying to messages, so she sent him a screenshot of the messages in the wilderness survival guest group. The screen was full of Li Changsi. Is your man not good enough?!
Then there was a group of people who advised to break up.
Lu Qi narrowed his eyes dangerously: "???"
Wei Zhenxi: Ahem, Brother Qi, I still have surgery to perform, so I’ll escape first.
Hehe, as brothers, we have done our best.
"The journey is still long. If you are tired, just close your eyes and take a nap." Seeing her eyelashes trembling and looking very sleepy, Lu Qi spoke in a low voice.
"Yeah." Li Changsi glanced at the group chat. It was all Xuan Yiyi posting photos of the venue. For some reason, he felt sleepy as soon as he got in the car. "I'll take a nap first."
Lu Qi took the small blanket and covered her snow-white skin below the neck, and suddenly felt that the dress was a bit dazzling.
Seeing that Li Changsi fell asleep quickly, her little head nodding and about to slide off his shoulder, the man reached out and gently pressed the back of her head, pressed her into his arms, then coldly took out the book in the car and read quietly.
Li Changsi slept all the way, and when he woke up, he saw that the scenery outside had changed from a bustling city to a snowy mountain forest.
She moved her stiff arms and saw Lu Qi sitting on the side reading a book, covered with a small blanket. She asked, "Hasn't it arrived yet?"
The voice was lazy, as if he had just woken up.
"We'll be up the mountain in half an hour." Lu Qi glanced at her phone that had fallen onto the seat and said in a low voice, "Your phone has been ringing a lot."
Several of them were from the movie star named Bai Zhuo. He turned his phone to silent mode for fear of waking her up.
Li Changsi took out his cell phone, checked the missed calls, and called Lin Lushen back.
Lin Lushen's lively and cheerful voice came from the phone: "Sister, have you arrived? We are all here and have been waiting for you."
Tian Ye rushed to say, "Changsi, only you, Zhuo Ge, and Song Xingyue haven't arrived yet. Whoever comes last will be the puppy."
Lin Lushen: "Are you childish?"
Li Changsi smiled and said lazily, "I just took a nap in the car. I asked Lu Qi and he said we'll be there in half an hour."
"Oh, you really brought it? Are you planning to leave now?" Tian Ye said with a wicked smile, "Today's Xuan family banquet has many celebrities from all walks of life coming. Be careful that your relationship is exposed and causes a stir."
Li Changsi: "As long as you, a big mouth, don't say anything, no one will."
Xuan Yiyi interrupted, "That's right, reporters are not allowed in here. In our circle, no one would do such a tactless thing. Li Changsi, you and Brother Zhuo will be here at about the same time. They've just arrived at the foot of the mountain."
Li Changsi: "My phone is ringing."
Li Changsi saw that it was Bai Zhuo calling, but it was too late to hang up. Bai Zhuo's clear voice came over: "I thought you wouldn't answer my call."
Li Changsi felt the danger approaching.
The next second, Bai Zhuo said, "Wait for me to go in together when we get there."
The tone did not allow for refusal. He wanted to see what kind of man Li Changsi was looking for, or whether she was just looking for a random man to fool him.
Oh shit, as the words of refusal came to Li Changsi’s lips, his head felt dizzy.
Seeing her pale face and deep eyes, Lu Qi reached out to support her: "Changsi?"
"It's okay." Li Changsi shook off the dizziness in his head. This time, he didn't refuse Bai Zhuo. He said coldly, "Well, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Li Changsi closed her eyes and pressed her painful solar plexus. It seemed that she had to quickly find the key to untie herself from the male protagonist, otherwise Bai Zhuo would be able to control her to death.
Moreover, Li Changsi glanced at Lu Qi. It was just a casual flirtation at first, but now it might become real. Between Bai Zhuo and Lu Qi, she would definitely choose the latter.
Seeing Li Changsi finish the call, her face instantly turned cold. Lu Qi put down the book in his hand. That man should be the one Li Changsi had been madly in love with for three years. Is there still any feelings? She reacted so strongly to his call!
Like a couple who had a quarrel and were about to break up! Lu Qi lowered his eyes, hiding the cold light in his eyes.
The car went up the mountain and got stuck not far ahead.
"Sir, there's a traffic jam ahead." Song Mao got out of the car and took a look ahead, then came back and said, "The parking lot at the Hot Spring Villa is full. Cars arriving later will have to park on the road, so we have to walk this section of the way up."
The staff at the hot spring hotel were maintaining order, asking the drivers to park their cars in an orderly manner on the roadside. Although the ground was covered with a thick red carpet and the road was filled with potted flowers, Song Mao's face was extremely grim.
They actually asked Mr. to get out of the car and walk over?! Mr. is a low-key person and never cares about ostentation when he goes out. The Xuan family is not worthy of associating with Mr., and if Li Changsi hadn't insisted on dragging Mr. over, this wouldn't have happened.
Lu Qi asked in a deep voice, "How far do we have to go?"
He glanced at Li Changsi's off-shoulder dress. After walking in the snow in the mountains, wouldn't she catch a cold when she returns?
"About 300 meters."
Li Changsi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he said calmly, "I'll put on my down jacket and walk down. It's not far. There's a red carpet on the ground."
After she finished speaking, she opened the car door and was about to go out when Lu Qi grabbed her hand.
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, and he said in a deep voice, "You'll be frozen, A-Mao. Go tell the owner to drive the car up and then drive it down."
Song Mao was about to nod when he saw a blue supercar driving up from behind and parked side by side with the Cullinan, blocking the road behind him.
"Li Changsi?" Bai Zhuo got out of the supercar and was shocked when he saw Li Changsi opening the car door and revealing his profile.
The off-shoulder lace dress highlights her sexy butterfly bones and graceful neck and shoulder lines. The intricate and gorgeous feather skirt is casually and lazily piled on the leather seat. She sits in the car, her skin is as white as snow, and her long hair as lazy as seaweed is casually tied into a bun, making her neck look as graceful as a white swan, and her small face is only the size of a palm.
The ultimate in exquisite beauty.
"What a coincidence, Changsi, did you just arrive too?"
Song Xingyue also got out of the car and saw Li Changsi's haute couture dress. She felt complicated, not knowing whether to be amazed or envious. This dress was very similar to a catwalk model of H company. That sky-high haute couture dress is still on display at the Paris headquarters and is not sold or loaned out.
She deliberately wore the most gentle pink long dress today. Although it was fairy-like and sexy, it always felt too monotonous. She lost in the dress category. Even the ten dresses that Xuan Yiyi showed off in the group today were not as good as the one Li Changsi was wearing.
"What a coincidence." Li Changsi hadn't expected that they'd run into each other halfway up the mountain. She leaned over and whispered in Lu Qi's ear, "Someone's here to clear the way. I'll get off for a bit."
She was very close, and the breath from her cherry-red lips sprayed on her skin. Lu Qi's eyes darkened, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her beautiful butterfly collarbone and the skin that was whiter than snow right in front of him.
The temperature inside the car seemed to have risen a few degrees.
"Hmm." Lu Qi's voice seemed to come from deep in his throat, and he restrained himself and turned his eyes away.
Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue only saw a man sitting in the car, and Li Changsi behaved very intimately with him.
Bai Zhuo's face darkened a little as he looked at the black Cullinan and the special license plate number. He took a deep breath. He had never heard of this license plate number. Who was this man?
Bai Zhuo wrote down the license plate number and saw Li Changsi get out of the car gracefully, lifting her skirt.
"There's no parking space on the hill. Let's walk up. Xingyue, don't you want to wear a coat?"
Song Xingyue was stunned for a moment. She didn't bring a coat at all. In front of the man she liked, she just wanted to show her best side. Besides, even if she was cold, there were men who would take off their coats for her. She looked at Bai Zhuo helplessly.
Bai Zhuo looked at Li Changsi's off-the-shoulder dress and said, "I'll make a call."
Bai Zhuo made a phone call, and soon someone from the Xuan family came to clear the way, and the Cullinan and Aston Martin drove up the mountain smoothly.
In the hot spring villa, Tian Ye, Rong Shu and others had been waiting for a while.
In the winter when all flowers are withering, the hot spring villa is as warm as spring, with green plants, flowers, rockery and flowing water everywhere. There is even a lake of koi in front of the villa, which is a huge investment.
Those who came to the banquet were all celebrities from Jingcheng. There were very few people from the entertainment industry and no reporters, so everyone was very relaxed and stood together chatting.
Xuan Yiyi, wearing a pink princess dress and a diamond crown, followed her parents to greet the guests. She spotted Bai Zhuo's supercar from a distance and excitedly pulled her father's arm, "Dad, Brother Zhuo is here."
Xuan's father beamed with joy and hurried forward. Although the Xuan family was a wealthy family, there were still different levels of wealth within the circle. Their Xuan family was the sixth in the middle, and the Bai family was the third in the front.
Today, taking advantage of his youngest daughter's birthday party, he sent an invitation to the Bai family early. Naturally, the old man of the Bai family would not come, but two outstanding grandsons came, the eldest grandson Bai Mu and the second grandson Bai Zhuo.
Yiyi likes Bai Zhuo, but he thinks both Bai Mu and Bai Zhuo are good. It would be a great joy if either of them could marry into the Xuan family.
The Xuan family came forward to greet him, but Bai Zhuo did not move. Instead, he looked at Li Changsi and the man in the car who had come up the mountain with him.
When he saw Lu Qi's face clearly, Bai Zhuo's pupils shrank and his mood became a little gloomy. He was famous in the entertainment industry for his looks and acting skills. He was most confident about his face since he was a child. It was only when he saw Lu Qi that he realized that this man's gentle and handsome appearance was somewhat similar to him.
Did Li Changsi flirt with him just because of his face? He was indeed his stand-in!
Oh!
Li Changsi got out of the car and took Lu Qi's arm. Seeing that the Xuan family went straight to Bai Zhuo and ignored Lu Qi, her beautiful and charming eyes narrowed immediately. She leaned close to his ear and said, "What gift did you bring? I don't have a close relationship with her. Don't give her anything expensive. It's not necessary."
No, she should just give her the diamond necklace, she is wearing it.
Lu Qi smiled softly when he heard this: "It's just an ordinary collection."
It is a porcelain plate from the Qing Dynasty. Because the colorful painting on it is too fancy, although he collected it, he didn't like it very much. It would be best to give it to someone else.
Song Mao delivered the wrapped collection to the host's gift-receiving table, signed Li Changsi's name, and wrote down the name of the gift list: Qing Dynasty·Flowers and Birds Competing for Spring·Colorful Large Plate.
The person in charge of receiving the gift was stunned when he saw it. This is an antique? It can't be possible!
The recipient took the heavy gift box, opened it, and saw the certificate, auction location, time, and price inside. He was so frightened that he said "Oh my God" and turned pale, almost dropping the antique plate.
"Quick, go tell the wife."
After Song Mao presented the gift, he returned to Lu Qi with an expressionless face. Seeing that the Xuan family members were surrounding Bai Zhuo like a star and ignoring Mr. Bai, he curled the corners of his lips. That's why the Xuan family is neither up nor down in the circle. They have been in the circle for so many years and still don't understand why.
Fortunately, Li Changsi was so stunningly good-looking that she quickly attracted countless eyes, and Rong Shu and others who had arrived earlier gathered around her.
Lin Lushen smiled sweetly and said, "Sister, you look so beautiful today. You and your brother-in-law are a perfect match, just like a white swan and a black swan."
Li Changsi chuckled, her eyes sparkling. Everyone felt as bright as the blooming flowers in spring, and they secretly envied Lu Qi. It must have taken several lifetimes to cultivate this blessing to find such a beauty like Li Changsi. Of course, he himself also had very good conditions.
Tian Ye laughed and said, "Little Deer, what a weird metaphor you're using. Changsi is a white swan, so that makes sense. Brother Lu can't be a goose, right? He should at least be a majestic beast or something."
Li Changsi pursed her lips and smiled, looking at the gentle and handsome Mr. Lu, curling her lips charmingly, a little looking forward to the black swan turning into a beast.
As they were talking, Bai Zhuo and the Xuan family exchanged greetings and walked towards this side.
When the Xuan couple saw that it was their daughter's friend who was participating in the variety show, they did not come over and went directly to greet other guests.
Xuan Yiyi pushed Song Xingyue aside and walked over affectionately with Bai Zhuo on her arm. When she saw Li Changsi's beautiful feather dress, she exclaimed in surprise. Then she saw the handsome man beside her and exclaimed in surprise twice more.
This man is damn handsome! No wonder Li Changsi tried so hard to flirt with him. If she didn't have brother Azhuo, she would have wanted to flirt with him too. It's just a playful circle among the rich. There are too many of them.
However, no matter how handsome a man is, it is just skin-deep. A man still needs to have a good reputation.
Xuan Yiyi said in a fatherly voice, "Sister Changsi, this is your boyfriend. Nice to meet you. I am Xuan Yiyi.
Li Changsi smiled: "Happy birthday, Yiyi, this is Lu Qi."
Lu Qi nodded coldly and distantly: "Nice to meet you."
Bai Zhuo stared at Li Changsi's hand that was holding his arm, and extended his hand elegantly and dignifiedly: "I am Bai Zhuo. What is Mr. Lu's position?"
There was a strong smell of gunpowder as soon as the words came out.
Lin Lushen and the others exchanged glances and secretly exclaimed, "Wow, here he comes! Brother Zhuo is so fierce as soon as they meet! I wonder if this new brother-in-law can handle it!"
Lu Qi looked at his outstretched hand, shook it politely, then released it and said coldly: "It's just a small business, not worth mentioning."
Bai Zhuo: "Mr. Lu is too modest. Changsi wouldn't just fall for a small business owner. She has always had a discerning eye, but she can also be very willful at times. She acts on her own accord without considering the consequences."
So because those three years of pursuit were fruitless, Li Changsi gave up on him as the real master and found a substitute instead, right? Bai Zhuo almost exploded with anger. Li Changsi was clearly irritating him.
Li Changsi glanced at Bai Zhuo in surprise. What nonsense was this idiot talking about? He seemed to understand but not completely!
Lu Qi understood, and his handsome face became indifferent and solemn. He was implicitly saying that Li Changsi's falling in love with someone else was willful and not sincere.
Lu Qi nodded coldly: "Thank you for the compliment."
Bai Zhuo had a heart attack, and everyone secretly gasped. Wow, both of them had full aura, neither of them was inferior to the other, and even Lu Qi's aura was stronger.
Bai Zhuo was at a disadvantage and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, several more luxury cars drove up the mountain. Who knows who they are? Seeing her parents come out, Xuan Yiyi quickly smiled and said, "Brother Bai Mu is here. Brother Zhuo, let's go over first. Have fun! Dinner starts at 6 o'clock. There's a buffet on the first floor of the villa. My dad has invited famous opera actors, so you can listen to Kunqu opera. There's also a casino on the second floor for some fun gambling."
There's a party after dinner. No one is allowed to leave tonight. I've reserved mountain view rooms for you all."
Xuan Yiyi didn't like the elders' tricks. For her birthday, her parents insisted on inviting opera singers to open the show. Fortunately, after the dinner, the elders all left, and she made an appointment with her friends to have a party and invite singers to sing.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
Xuan Yiyi went over there to receive the guests. When Bai Zhuo saw that it was his brother, he said calmly, "I'll go over there first."
He will come to find Li Changsi later, because a substitute can never replace the real person.
As soon as Bai Zhuo left, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Tian Ye: "Is it Brother Zhuo's brother who came? The big guys have all gathered around him. It seems that the Bai family is of high status. Brother Zhuo is indeed a wealthy family among wealthy families."
Tian Ye glanced at Li Changsi while speaking. Although the new brother-in-law was very good, Zhuo Ge's family was too awesome. At least he would inherit half of the family business in the future.
Rong Shu nodded: "The Bai family is more prominent than the Xuan family, but many things cannot be judged by appearances."
Rong Shu glanced at Lu Qi as he spoke. After returning from Li Changsi's house that day, he called the respected elder and asked indirectly if he could order food from Lane 49.
The elder told him that Lane 49 was not a profit-making restaurant and only served people from a very small circle, so it was impossible for them to order food from outside.
After he hung up the phone, he was silent for a long time. Then he met someone who could order from Lane 49. The other party also left Li Changsi his phone number, so he could eat out at any time.
This shows the disparity in this world.
From then on, Rong Shu knew that he and Li Changsi would be better off just being friends, a longer-term option. In fact, after participating in three episodes of the variety show, he had long understood that Li Changsi's world was like a mysterious sea of stars. He had chased her all the way but never entered. Perhaps this enigmatic Mr. Lu was the one who could truly enter.
Song Xingyue: "Hey, Ying Jing is here."
The film queen Ying Jing was seen walking across the red carpet in a golden gown and a jeweled ruby necklace, holding the arm of Bai Mu, the eldest grandson of the Bai family, in the spotlight.
Everyone was confused. It turned out that Ying Jing's backer was Bai Mu, the eldest grandson of the Bai family. No wonder Ying Jing had so many resources in recent years. She was able to walk all over the circle and win so many awards. Last time, she suffered a Waterloo due to magazine sales problems, but she still dared to challenge Li Changsi, who had an excellent reputation. It turned out that her backer was strong enough and she was fearless.
Lin Lu frowned deeply: "Sister, you should be careful. Our entertainment industry may look glamorous on the outside, but in reality, it can't be compared with the wealthy circle at all. Let's stay away from her."
If Ying Jing used the power of the Bai family to ban Li Changsi, Li Changsi would not be able to get good resources. As time went on, he would not have any good works, and when the popularity faded, he would gradually disappear.
This circle is so cruel.
Rong Shu: "There's no need to hide. Changsi has such a good reputation that Ying Jing doesn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise it would ruin her own reputation."
Hearing this, Lu Qi lowered his head and looked at Li Changsi: "Do you have a feud?"
Li Changsi: "It's not really a feud. It's just about the magazine sales issue last time. She felt that I was undermining her status. We can't embarrass her in public. We are all respectable people. At a dinner like this, isn't it all about comparing beauty, diamonds and jewelry, or men? To save face?"
Li Changsi glanced at Lu Qi charmingly. Although Bai Mu was somewhat similar to Bai Zhuo and was considered a mature and steady bachelor, she had never lost in terms of beauty or men!
She had seen many things like this in her previous life. No matter how much she didn't get along with her brothers and sisters, she had to pretend in front of others to maintain the dignity of the royal family. Behind the scenes, everyone had to rely on their own abilities.
Everyone was nervous at first, but when they heard this, they all burst out laughing. It seemed to be true.
Although Ying Jing is also beautiful, to be honest, Li Changsi's appearance is unique in the entertainment industry.
Lu Qi nodded to show that he understood, and glanced at Song Mao behind him.
Song Mao understood what he meant and walked to an empty corner to call Bai Mu.
The Xuan family's youngest daughter celebrated her birthday, and the celebrities who came were all there to show the Xuan family's reputation. Those of lower status than the Xuan family came only to show respect to their elders, while those of equal status were more casual. Those of higher status than the Xuan family did not attend, but only to their juniors.
Bai Mu came to the banquet on behalf of the Bai family. He had to give face to the Xuan family, but not too much face, so as not to bring shame to the Bai family. Therefore, he brought his female companion Ying Jing with him.
Ying Jing is a household name and is known for her coldness in the circle, so it is very appropriate to bring her out.
"Amu, the person in front seems to be the female artist Li Changsi who has been pestering your brother."
Ying Jing saw Li Changsi at first sight and hated her so much that her teeth were itching. There were many beauties in the entertainment industry, but the number of those as beautiful as Li Changsi and whose popularity was ridiculously high could be counted on five fingers.
Originally, she had no connection with Li Changsi, but the magazine invited her to be on the cover in mid-July, and said all sorts of things, saying that she could get a wave of traffic from the wilderness survival variety show. She hadn't had any works for half a year, and without topics and popularity, she would be forgotten, so she agreed to be on the cover of the A magazine. As a result, her sales were crushed by Li Changsi, and she became a laughing stock in the circle.
How could Ying Jing tolerate this tone? She immediately told Li Changsi to be more careful, and then blew pillow talk in front of Bai Mu.
Fortunately, Li Changsi has a black spot that cannot be washed away, that is, he has been pestering Bai Zhuo for three years. Bai Mu values this younger brother very much and was immediately a little unhappy.
When Ying Jing learned that Li Changsi was coming to Xuan Yiyi's birthday party, she was instantly happy. It's true that there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking into it.
Bai Mu followed her gaze and took a look at Li Changsi. She was indeed extremely beautiful. Standing in the crowd, she caught everyone's attention at a glance...
Bai Mu's gaze fell on the man beside Li Changsi. His pupils shrank, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost suspected something was wrong with his eyes. How could that man appear at the Xuan family's youngest daughter's birthday party?
Even if his grandfather celebrates his birthday, he won’t be invited!
Xuan's parents smiled and said, "Those people over there seem to be friends invited by Yiyi."
If Ying Jing is angered, then it seems that I have to find a way to make her leave first. To offend Ying Jing is to offend the Bai family, which is not worth it.
Bai Zhuo glanced at Ying Jing with disgust and said, "Brother, they are all my friends, including Li Changsi."
