Chapter 18 Unfamiliar
"Okay, I have something else to do here. Stay calm and don't panic. I'm already preparing and will be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Song Ziqian looked at her angry face in the mirror, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down.
My sister is right. How could a man like Lu Tingzhou really fall for Sang Wan? Sang Wan must have used some shady tactics!
She touched up her makeup, put on a pitiful expression again, and walked out of the bathroom.
The dinner party is still going on, with toasts flowing and the atmosphere is warm.
Sang Wan became the focus of everyone's compliments, but she handled it appropriately, neither servile nor overbearing. Her soft and gentle voice always spoke with a sense of tenacity.
Lu Tingzhou still looked aloof and indifferent, with a cold aura that kept strangers away from him.
Sang Wan looked at the man sitting in the main seat and thought to herself: If you don't want to give me a good face, why are you here?
But because of her financial sponsorship, she kept chatting politely with the crew members and did not talk to Lu Tingzhou.
Luo Zheng looked at the two people silently, feeling strange. These two people must know each other, but they ignored each other.
Can't see through.
"Tingzhou, how is your brother doing lately? Is there any news?"
Speaking of this old classmate, Luo Zheng felt helpless.
"He's fine."
The voice was indifferent, and there was no intention to continue the conversation.
Luo Zheng said, "His personality... is also good."
He looked at Sang Wan and gave her a wink. Sang Wan saw it, but she couldn't pretend not to see it. After all, she had just approached a director of this level, and she had to maintain the face she should maintain.
She picked up the wine glass in front of her, turned and looked at Lu Tingzhou, the curve of her lips bright but not ostentatious.
"Mr. Lu," Sang Wan said softly, "I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your support of 'The Storm Rises'."
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, his deep gaze falling on her delicate little face, but he did not take the wine glass immediately.
If Director Luo hadn't winked at him, she probably wouldn't have planned to talk to him.
Song Ziqian came in and saw Sang Wan holding a glass of wine to toast Lu Tingzhou, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
As she pulled the chair and sat down, her hip happened to touch Sang Wan's arm.
Caught off guard, his wrist trembled and the wine in the glass spilled right onto the thigh of Lu Tingzhou's dark trousers!
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Tingzhou's already cold face.
"Yes, I'm sorry! Mr. Lu! I didn't mean it!" Sang Wan apologized quickly.
After all, so many people are watching here, and they will be colleagues in the future.
Bai Wei was also surprised. This gentleman seemed to have not smiled since they came in, and his words were always cold.
We can’t afford to offend the financial sponsor.
Of course, she also saw that it was Song Ziqian who bumped into Sang Wan. Others might not be able to see it clearly from their angles, but she saw it very clearly.
Sang Wan took out the tissue on the table and leaned over to wipe Lu Tingzhou without thinking.
The neckline of the skirt she wore today was a bit low. When she bent over, the delicate white skin on her chest appeared and disappeared with her movements. The beautiful curve made people dizzy under the light.
A faint scent of gardenia, mixed with the mellow aroma of red wine, seeped into Lu Tingzhou's nostrils.
Lu Tingzhou's breath suddenly stopped, and he had no choice but to appreciate the unique visual feast.
Full and round.
White to the point of glowing.
The thin back's butterfly bones and graceful lines make people unable to help but fantasize.
The slender fingers pinched the tissue and carefully wiped his thigh.
Through the thin cloth, every time they brushed against each other, it felt like a weak electric current, making him tense up.
Even agent Bai Wei, who was sitting not far away, broke into a cold sweat for Sang Wan.
My aunt, she poured wine on the boss and dared to wipe it off with her hands?
This gentleman is well-known for not being interested in women. He hasn't even warmed up to the role he just got, so he must not let it go just like that.
Luo Zheng also took a breath of cold air. He knew Lu Tingzhou. Because he was the youngest in the family, he had been excluded everywhere before. Without his iron-blooded tactics, he would not be able to sit in his current position.
But thinking that Sang Wan was recommended by Lu Tingzhou, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was hard to say between the two of them.
Under normal circumstances, which actor would not be humble and take the initiative to talk when meeting the investor? But Sang Wan did not do that.
Luo Zheng took a sip of wine and began to watch the show.
The instigator, Song Ziqian, was sitting aside at this moment, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
What she wanted was for Sang Wan to make a fool of herself.
The wine stain had wet a large area and was seeping into the texture of the trousers.
She lowered her head, trying hard to wipe away the annoying marks, her long eyelashes trembling like two small fans.
The refreshing and pleasant scent of cedar on the man mixed with the faint fragrance of gardenia on her body, forming a strange and ambiguous atmosphere that lingered between the two of them.
Lu Tingzhou looked at the unruly little hand on his leg and the vague spring light, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously.
In his bottomless black eyes, emotions were surging and obscure.
Lu Tingzhou took a sip of wine and felt the heat burning in his throat.
Sang Wan seemed to sense his awkwardness, and wiped his legs a little more gently, with a hint of mischief.
"Mr. Lu, do you think this is okay?"
Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of flattery.
To outsiders, it sounds like he is nervous and afraid of offending the boss.
Only Lu Tingzhou knew that this girl was torturing her because her hands were no longer well-behaved and were not used to wipe the wine stains.
Instead, she gently scratched his leg, and the subtle touch made him feel itchy.
Lu Tingzhou gritted his teeth secretly and held her hand calmly.
"Okay."
Sang Wan slowly stood up and gently lifted her long hair in front of her chest. Everything was reasonable, but every move made Lu Tingzhou nervous invisibly.
Sang Wan smiled secretly. Lu Tingzhou was not as insulated from women as the outside world said. At least he had the reactions of a normal man.
"Boss Lu, this concentration is not good enough."
"Miss Sang, please pay attention to your image and don't belittle yourself."
Lu Tingzhou looked over with his deep eyes. Sang Wan withdrew her hand and slightly raised her eyelids.
She didn't dare tease him in this situation, in case she stepped on the horse's hoof, she would be hurt.
The idea of playing a prank was instantly put away.
Although this man had not given her face before, he had at least helped her once.
Sang Wan poured another glass of wine and apologized humbly and respectfully.
Song Ziqian didn't get what she wanted to see, and she felt even more upset.
My sister said that any woman who wanted to get close to Lu Tingzhou was ruthlessly driven away by him, and it was impossible for her to get close to him.
The fact that he could let Sang Wan sit next to him already made Song Ziqian feel very confused. Now, in addition to confusion, she felt more uneasy.
Lu Tingzhou is really behind Sang Wan, so what should my sister do?
Sang Wan drank a lot during the meal. Compared with the others present, she was a newcomer with little experience, so she had to toast everyone.
So much so that after the meal, when she was about to get up to see someone off, her body suddenly went limp and she fell directly on Lu Tingzhou who had just stood up and was about to leave.
"Drunk?"
The man's cool tone touched Sang Wan's cheek, making her feel refreshed and comfortable.
Song Ziqian: ...
These two simple words made her conclude that Lu Tingzhou's attitude towards Sang Wan was definitely abnormal.
She also looked for Lu Tingzhou privately, but he always ignored everyone around him. Even when his sister was around, he showed no emotion.
Although his voice just now was seven points cold, people who knew him well could still hear three points of concern in it.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't stand firmly."
Sang Wan stood up straight and said goodbye to everyone until everyone had left and only Song Ziqian was left.
"Sang Wan, are you hooking up with Mr. Lu?"
Song Ziqian went straight to the point. As people in the same circle, who wouldn't be unaware of that?
“Not familiar.”
Sang Wan left with Bai Wei after saying two words.
In the car.
Sang Wan felt uncomfortable in the head and leaned against the car window to rest.
"Sister Wan, I've checked everywhere in the city these past few days, but there's no news of the old man."
Sang Wan half-closed her eyes, her head hurting even more.
Why has Xu Shiming been so quiet these past two days? There are only a few days left until the end of the month. Shouldn't he be very anxious?
Is he really not afraid that she will sue him in court?
I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I was also glad that she had a chance to catch her breath.
"Send someone to check Lin Lan's hometown. Her home is not far from the suburbs."
Bai Wei looked at her with half-closed eyes, thinking about what happened tonight.
"Wanwan, do you have a grudge against Mr. Lu? Why does it seem like he's been quite repulsive to you during the two times you've met?"
Before Sang Wan could say anything, Qi Qi said quickly, "Sister Wan asked me to crash into Mr. Lu's car."
"Huh? Why?"
Bai Wei was puzzled.
"I thought he was good-looking and wanted to flirt with him, but he turned out to be a tough guy and I couldn't get my hands on him. Forget it, it was my biggest defeat this year."
Bai Wei and Qi Qi's eyes met in the rearview mirror and they were both stunned for a moment.
Sang Wan, who has never been interested in men and even refuses to form a couple, actually wants to chat up a man.
Come to think of it, Lu Tingzhou is not bad.
She and Sang Wan are a perfect match.
A quirky, bright and charming girl.
One is cold, aloof, noble and extraordinary.
"Sister Wan, don't be discouraged. If you can't even chew it, there's no other reason why Mr. Lu doesn't like women."
"There's not much information about him online. I wonder if he already has a family abroad."
Bai Wei was worried that her daughter had finally found a man she liked, but he might die early.
"Shouldn't there be any?"
Su Mo had checked for her, and the information she got from Shen Yubai couldn't be wrong.
Moreover, Shen Yubai had encouraged her to hook up with Lu Tingzhou. If Lu Tingzhou really had a family, then Shen Yubai's character was truly despicable.
Although Sang Wan approached with a purpose, if the other party had not caught her eye, why would she have gone to such lengths to get him?
There are many people who can come up with 300 million yuan, and many of them want to marry her.
Bai Wei was vaguely worried. "Wanwan, Mr. Lu is a good match, but in wealthy families like this, marriage is often just a tool. Don't rush into it, or you'll be the one who gets hurt in the end. Besides, your career is on the rise now, so even if you want to get involved in a relationship, you have to be careful."
Sang Wan smiled bitterly, "I've already told you I can't do it. That day won't come."
The car was driving steadily in the night, and it didn't notice that a black Maybach was following closely behind.
Sang House.
"Mom and Dad, what should I do? Sang Wan actually flirted with Jin Xuan right in front of me. What should I do?"
Lin Lan was also angry. "Old Xu, this can't go on. Jinxuan doesn't care about Yueyue to begin with. If Sang Wan continues to interfere, all our previous plans will be in vain."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Sun Meixi won't let Sang Wan in. You know that."
Xu Shiming played Lego with his son. He had a son in his old age and regarded Xu Zichuan as his own child.
"I'm curious if Wang Sheng encountered any problems these past two days. The final payment for the first installment hasn't arrived yet." Xu Shiming smiled smugly. "If that's the case, we won't be so passive. After all, he was the one who breached the contract first. The bet I made with him was for the second phase of the project. If he can't come up with it, then the bet is naturally invalid, and he won't even think about marrying Sang Wan anymore."
