◎ Attending the Dinner ◎
Chapter 35
As soon as Ji Jingye finished speaking, Yu Keke couldn't help but blink slightly.
Eh, that tone is not right.
"Well..." She blinked again, in an innocent tone, "I won't say whether I'm happy or not, but now it seems that you are not very happy?"
She always avoided the important issues and was very good at resolving crises.
It was not surprising at this time.
Ji Jingye looked into her eyes.
Under the soft light, her thick eyelashes trembled lightly like butterfly wings, with a hint of fragility. It made her almond-shaped eyes clear and beautiful, shaking with innocent water light.
As if she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, Yu Keke was gently pulling her sleeves, revealing only a little bit of her fingertips.
I felt a little timid out of nowhere, which made me feel soft-hearted unconsciously.
Yu Keke: [You're right, there's something wrong with him. Did something happen before?]
System: [No, hasn't he been on a business trip these days? The only strange thing is that according to the original schedule, he should have come back in a few days, but he's back early now.]
Yu Keke: [That's a bit strange, could it be because the business trip didn't go well?]
While one person and one system were guessing, Ji Jingye suddenly moved.
He slowly took off his suit jacket, revealing a close-fitting white shirt underneath.
Even though she felt that he was in a bad mood, Yu Keke couldn't help but linger on his waistline.
Then his voice came to her ears: "Since you have seen through me, what should I do?"
There was a hint of danger in his low and cold voice.
Being stared at by him like this, it was like suddenly facing some large beast. Yu Keke could feel the back of her neck getting cold.
She thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Make you happy?"
Ji Jingye almost laughed at her nonsense and said coldly: "But I can't be happy as long as I see you."
Yu Keke suddenly realized: "Then I will leave?"
Ji Jingye: "..."
Seeing that she had finished speaking, she really turned around and left.
Besides, Yu Keke had done this before, stroking her beard and then patting her butt and leaving.
His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he said coldly: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."
Yu Keke stopped and thought for a while.
Whatever the reason, Ji Jingye is in a really bad mood now. So even if she asked, he might not agree. She
thought it was not very important anyway, at worst she could go by herself, and it would be okay not to trouble Ji Jingye.
Yu Keke shook her head and said very considerately: "It's nothing, I originally wanted to ask if you have time the day after tomorrow. But thinking that you must be very tired after just coming back, I won't bother you for now." However,
her thoughtfulness obviously did not impress the man in front of her.
Ji Jingye looked down at her, and the aura around him became more and more dangerous.
Now that she thinks he is tired, she doesn't bother him. Why didn't she show such thoughtfulness before?
He twitched his lips and asked slowly, "So you already have another candidate in mind, right?"
For example, the pretty boy who said, "If he wasn't in the entertainment industry, he could be a life assistant."
Really?
Yu Keke: [? Why is his tone so strange? Is it my illusion?]
The system is not sure: [Emmm, it seems a bit.]
Yu Keke: [And from what he said, could it be that he already knew about the banquet? Just waiting for me to bring it up?]
The system urged: [Anyway, you are brave, you will know if you ask?]
After listening to this pair of accomplices discussing for a long time, they still couldn't discuss the main topic.
Ji Jingye's dark eyes were dark, and his tone revealed obvious impatience: "Why, you can't answer?"
Yu Keke asked as expected: "Of course not. I was just wondering, have you known what I want to say for a long time, and are waiting for me to bring it up?"
Ji Jingye glanced at her: "You know I know it without you saying it?"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Yu Keke didn't pursue it.
"Then I'll just pretend that you don't know. Actually, I need to attend a banquet the day after tomorrow, but I heard that you need to bring a companion to enter the banquet." Her tone was brisk, and it was obvious that she was not affected at all, "So Ji Jingye, can you go with me?"
Ji Jingye wanted her to find the pretty boy who was "so considerate that he wanted him to give up filming and be her life assistant."
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that if he really said that, with Yu Keke's unreliable personality, maybe she would really go happily.
She was still righteous and felt that she had obeyed his orders and could not be pulled back.
Ji Jingye: "..."
He raised his eyelids indifferently, and his sarcastic words suddenly took a turn: "Why should I accompany you?"
After hearing this, did his attitude seem to soften a little?
Yu Keke thought about it and said seriously: "Because you are my fiancé? If you don't accompany me, everyone will think that our relationship has broken down, and I will become a joke of the party."
Ji Jingye: "..." Yu
Keke looked up and looked at him when she found that he suddenly fell silent, and happened to bump into his dark eyes.
She saw that the pair of deep and indifferent black eyes were looking at her intently, revealing a calm and cold scrutiny. It was as if he was thinking whether she said this from the heart.
And he suddenly pursed his lips, making his facial lines look even colder and more sinister.
The aura around him became more and more dangerous, more like a beast out of a cage.
Yu Keke: "..."
She felt a little itchy in her heart, and she raised her hand and waved it in front of him tentatively: "Ji Jingye, Ji Jingye? Did you hear me?"
Ji Jingye retracted his scrutinizing gaze: "Yeah."
Yu Keke: "So do you have time?"
Ji Jingye paused: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Yu Keke didn't bother to argue and nodded readily: "Okay then."
However, she didn't try to invite him again, but Ji Jingye frowned.
His expression became colder and colder, confirming his guess.
Yu Keke clearly did it on purpose.
She was indeed waiting for him to refuse, and then she could naturally look for the best candidate.
Otherwise, why would she go against her usual behavior and give up immediately after hearing his ambiguous reply, and even didn't continue to ask questions?
Ji Jingye's face suddenly sank.
System: [Why do I feel that the villain is in an even worse mood? Are you sure there is no problem?]
Yu Keke said innocently: [I didn't bother him anymore. I'm already very considerate. It should have nothing to do with me. 】
【I think so. 】 The system has a reason, 【Every time the villain is unhappy, it's because of you. So this time, I suggest you look for the reason from yourself again. 】
Yu Keke: 【? I don't accept CPU. 】
She cleared her throat: "Then I'll leave first?"
Ji Jingye: "You came here just for this?"
Yu Keke didn't understand, and nodded sincerely: "I just found out that you went home, so I came to ask you. But I didn't expect you just came back. You must be very tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time, so I won't disturb you to rest."
Ji Jingye lowered his eyes to hide the cold and sinister gathering in his eyes.
However, just as he was getting angry, he suddenly heard her say "ah" softly.
Yu Keke seemed to be reminded and suddenly remembered something: "Now that you mention it, I do have something to do."
Then, without waiting for Ji Jingye to reply, she suddenly turned around and pressed the elevator button.
Ji Jingye: "......?"
The indifference and coldness in his eyes had not faded yet. Looking at her confused behavior, he couldn't help but frowned.
"I came in too much of a hurry and forgot that I wanted to give you something." Yu Keke walked into the elevator, obviously not realizing that he was wrong, and said seriously, "I know you are very tired now, but wait a minute, I will come down as soon as I get the things, give me three minutes!" Ji
Jingye: "..."
He watched the elevator door slowly close with cold eyes until Yu Keke's figure could no longer be seen, and he pursed his thin lips.
Thinking that even if he really left, Yu Keke would definitely come down to find him.
Ji Jingye finally did not move a step.
As promised, Yu Keke came down again in less than three minutes.
As soon as she opened the elevator door, she saw Ji Jingye looking at her with a cold face.
She paused as she stepped out of the elevator: [Is it my illusion? Did Ji Jingye not move?]
System: [He really didn't move.]
Oops, this feels a bit obedient.
Yu Keke couldn't help thinking.
She smiled, trotted to him, and handed him the gift box in her hand.
Ji Jingye lowered his eyes.
It was a rectangular dark blue velvet box, which was wrapped very carefully.
This shape made him keenly think of something.
He frowned slightly and asked calmly, "What is this?"
"A gift? Can't you tell?" Yu Keke pushed him towards her again with confidence. When she found that he still didn't move, she simply stuffed the box into his arms.
Looking at him holding the box, his face was cold, but his posture was inexplicably stiff.
Yu Keke couldn't help laughing again.
"Didn't I say before that I would treat you to dinner when I had the chance? But later, because I couldn't find the opportunity, it has been delayed until now and has not been realized." She smiled and said, "Last time, Li Xinrui and I went out to eat, and there happened to be a shopping mall nearby. We saw these two ties while shopping and thought they were very suitable for you, so I thought about giving them to you. It can also be used as compensation."
As if hearing the key words, Ji Jingye's fingers holding the box suddenly moved. She
squeezed the gift box again.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Keke urged: "Open it quickly and see if you like it?"
Maybe he was really tired, Ji Jingye's reaction became a little slow.
After hearing her say this, he finally moved.
There were two ties inside.
One was dark blue plaid, and the other was pure silver gray.
They looked very familiar.
In the two photos taken, Yu Keke was holding these two ties and gesturing in the air.
The system's original description seemed to be: [I chose the silver gray color, but I think the dark blue plaid is very nice. ]
Ji Jingye: "..."
So that's how it is.
"In fact, I should have given you one to make it more formal." Watching him unpack the gift box and then looking at the tie inside without moving, Yu Keke couldn't help but explain, "But I think both of them would look good on you. I couldn't choose, so I just bought them both."
Yu Keke: "One is just a belated thank-you gift, and the other one..."
She thought about it, and when Ji Jingye raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, she smiled and said, "I haven't given you a gift in such a long time. So this one, of course, is because I think it looks good, so I'll give it to you if I want."
Ji Jingye: "..."
She never played by the rules, and she was playful even at this moment.
But at this moment, she was looking up at him slightly.
The smile in her eyes was shining brightly like starlight, and it was particularly beautiful.
Ji Jingye just looked at her like this, as if the twinkling starlight was also reflected in his eyes.
Just as he opened his thin lips to say something, the conversation between Yu Keke and the system suddenly rang in his mind
[Actually, I want to say. ] She said slowly, [As a reward for the first time he acknowledged my identity in front of Ji Linghan that night. ]
System: [? Fortunately you didn't say it, it would have ruined the mood. ]
Yu Keke was really a little regretful: [Alas, the words he said when he asked Ji Linghan to call me sister-in-law were so powerful that I still can't forget them.]
System: [...I beg you, ancestor. We finally coaxed the villain, so don't try to provoke him.]
Ji Jingye: "..."
He closed his mouth and looked away indifferently.
At this moment, he actually had the same relief as the system. If Yu Keke really said that.
He couldn't guarantee that he would not be so angry that he poisoned her.
Half an hour later.
Assistant Wen, who had just returned home, suddenly received a message from President Ji.
He clicked on it and saw that it was about confirming the schedule for the day after tomorrow, and asked him not to forget to free up the evening.
But didn't President Ji decide to take Miss Yu to the charity dinner the night after tomorrow?
Assistant Wen couldn't help but wonder for a moment.
He pondered in his heart with a serious look on his face:
So, does Mr. Ji's "free time" mean that he has decided to cancel his plan to attend the dinner?
Or is he just worried that he would forget about it, so he wants to confirm his schedule with him again to avoid a schedule conflict that night?
After thinking about it carefully, Assistant Wen suddenly glanced at the time and showed an expression of realization.
Since the message was sent at this time, Mr. Ji must have met with Miss Yu when he returned home.
Not knowing how Ji Jingye is feeling right now, he immediately sent a message to Yu Keke, asking carefully.
Yu Keke: [I did invite Ji Jingye, but he said it depends on the arrangements for that day, and we'll talk about it then.]
Seeing Yu Keke's affirmative reply, Assistant Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then Mr. Ji definitely doesn't mean to cancel the plan.
He pondered the words "We'll talk about it later". He looked at them horizontally and vertically for a long time before he finally understood something on the screen.
He saw two words written all over the screen: "Na Qiao".
Tsk tsk.
But, no matter what, Mr. Ji should have been coaxed by Miss Yu, right?
Thinking that they had been baptized by cold air for several consecutive days, they were finally going to be relieved. Assistant Wen clenched his fists excitedly and sighed in his heart.
Miss Yu is really awesome!
————
On the day of the banquet.
Life assistant Xiao Ye came to the door early with the contacted styling team and handed the customized dress to Yu Keke.
She also said with a particularly discreet look: "This is specially prepared for you by President Ji. It should match President Ji's outfit. It will definitely attract a lot of attention when you attend the dinner tonight."
Yu Keke had already laid down quietly, letting the styling team deal with her.
No matter what opinions they asked, she just nodded.
After hearing Xiao Ye say this, she glanced at the gift box.
It turned out to be a sea blue tube top dress, which looked beautiful and luxurious.
Next to it was a set of sapphire jewelry that obviously matched the dress.
The sapphire glowed in the velvet box, which was particularly beautiful.
Yu Keke immediately became interested: [Since the two of us are matching, do you guess that he is wearing the blue tie I gave him today; or is he wearing a blue suit with the other silver-gray tie? ]
[No peeking at the answer. 】Before the system could answer, she said, "I think it's a blue tie."
The system really didn't cheat. It thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll guess another one. That silver-grey color is also pretty. But are you so sure that he will wear the tie you gave him?"
Yu Keke: "Isn't this set of sapphire jewelry his return gift?"
System: "? Why?"
Yu Keke was quite honest: "I don't know, I just think it's a hint."
The system was so curious about what she said that it struggled: "...Really, I don't need to check it out. Do we know the answer in advance?"
Yu Keke decisively rejected it: "No, of course the answer should be revealed in person, which is more interesting."
The system completely lost its temper.
Perhaps it was because the process of waiting for the styling was too boring. Yu Keke began to give riddles to the system, and maliciously did not tell it the answer.
Then the system began to fight back, and this time it was Yu Keke's turn to be anxious.
Seeing the curious people and the system torturing each other, accumulating countless mysteries but not getting answers.
Feeling that this was not working, they simply turned to turtle soup and played the "is it?" game.
The person and the system finally reached a consensus and had a lot of fun.
However, Ji Jingye, who was still in the company at this time, paused for a long time in front of the document in front of him.
He clenched the signature pen, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
...So what are those answers?
Across the desk, a department manager who was waiting for Mr. Ji's review finally realized something was wrong and looked up cautiously.
He found that Mr. Ji was looking at the document expressionlessly, as if he had discovered some major mistake. His brows were tightly knitted, and he was filled with an aura of impatience and anxiety.
Seeing his hard expression and increasingly sinister brows, the department manager's heart, which could not withstand the torture, suddenly began to beat nervously.
Oh my God, who down there made a mistake that made him suffer here?
But he had checked before coming in, and there seemed to be no problem. The
department manager couldn't help but doubt his life.
...
So, when Yu Keke finally finished her styling and went downstairs, she saw Ji Jingye who came to pick her up after work.
She couldn't help but pause.
Yu Keke: [Is it my illusion? I always feel that Ji Jingye's eyes look a little scary.]
If eyes could kill, she would probably become a plate of sashimi by now.
How much she must hate her, she should be cut into pieces, sigh.
The system is almost used to it: [Isn't he always like this when he looks at you? So I often wonder if I will see you in the belly of a fish at the bottom of the sea.]
Yu Keke: [? ]
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
Ji Jingye has always been moody. So it seems normal for him to look at people coldly and fiercely when he is in a bad mood occasionally.
Otherwise, why are so many people afraid of him? After all, he is a villain.
She showed a look of realization and couldn't help but feel relieved.
So Yu Keke stood there, looking at Ji Jingye in front of her. Sure
enough, he was wearing a calm and noble smoky gray suit, and the dark blue striped tie she gave him was tied up neatly, which looked very eye-catching.
Yu Keke: [Great, I guessed right! 】
System:【But you guessed wrong about turtle soup last time, so we are tied overall.】
Yu Keke:【...Damn it, this doesn't count! 】
While she was arguing with the system over who was the winner, Ji Jingye was also looking at her.
Yu Keke, dressed up, was dazzling and stunning.
Her long black hair was slightly curled and draped behind her. The sea blue dress she was wearing perfectly showed off her beautiful shoulder and neck lines.
The irregular wide skirt was layered like waves, which made her waist look slimmer and her figure more graceful.
The sapphire necklace on her neck was shining with bright light, and when it swayed gently, it made her chest skin look even whiter.
For a moment, it was hard to tell which part was more dazzling.
Yu Keke walked towards him with her skirt lifted up, and saw Ji Jingye's eyes were gloomy, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
Thinking of his fierce look just now, she couldn't help but stop in front of him: "Ji Jingye."
She called his name softly.
Until Ji Jingye lowered his eyes, Yu Keke raised her hand and gently touched the tie on his collar, and said with a smile: "It looks good, it really suits you."
Ji Jingye paused and hummed.
"The dress and jewelry are also very beautiful. Did you choose the blue color on purpose?" She sat in the car with her skirt pressed down, and suddenly turned her head to look at him, "So it seems that you like this blue tie more."
Ji Jingye looked at her skirt that was folded up like waves and said lightly: "I just picked it at random."
Yu Keke nodded and said "Oh": "You didn't deny it, so it seems that you like both. So this necklace is really a return gift for me?"
Ji Jingye: "..."
...
When they arrived at the banquet, Yu Keke just got out of the car and naturally put her arm around Ji Jingye's arm.
Ji Jingye obviously didn't expect her to do this. He paused and turned his head to look at her.
However, Yu Keke didn't feel anything wrong. Seeing that he didn't move, she even raised her eyes to look at him gently, with a hint of silent urging.
It was so righteous.
It was as if she was saying: He is the male companion she brought this time, isn't it normal for him to enter like this?
Ji Jingye: "..."
His eyes fell on her hand again.
Her fingers were white and slender, pressing lightly on the silver-gray fabric of the suit, which was particularly obvious.
And her fingertips just fell on the cufflinks of the suit. The rich emerald gemstone made her fingers more beautiful and dazzling, as if they were glowing.
Ji Jingye retracted his gaze and didn't say anything, but his originally tense body slowly relaxed.
Then he led her into the banquet hall.
Perhaps their stop at the door was noticed by someone.
Soon everyone inside knew that Yu Keke had actually brought Young Master Ji Jingye here.
So as soon as she walked into the hall, Yu Keke clearly felt that the originally lively atmosphere quickly cooled down with their entry.
And a lot of eyes suddenly gathered on her.
Everyone watched them walk in slowly, and their expressions were a little complicated.
But when looking at Ji Jingye, they were obviously excited and flattering, and they didn't even dare to look directly at him. But when he turned around and looked at Yu Keke beside him, there was a little strange color.
It was as if he couldn't believe that she actually brought that Young Master Ji here.
"I remember there were rumors in the circle that Young Master Ji didn't care about his fiancée? How do you see it now? It doesn't seem like that."
"You said it was just a rumor. People can bring Young Master Ji here, so it's not considered important? Maybe because of hearing these rumors, Young Master Ji came to support his fiancée."
"Ha, I'm afraid some people's faces are going to be swollen."
"So when Yu Er came to cooperate before, he promised that now that the Ji family is here to help, there will be no problem. So, the relationship is still there. Are you really bragging? "
"Yu Er has come to see me before. Now it seems that
the Yu family is really lucky. It's almost bankrupt but it can still rely on the Ji family. Now it's time to get back on track."
...
...
Listening to the people around him talking about it, Second Uncle Yu, who had arrived a long time ago but was ignored, had a gloomy expression, but now his eyebrows were bright with joy.
Although he heard Yu Ran say a few days ago that Yu Keke might bring Young Master Ji to the dinner, he didn't hold out any hope. After
all, Ji Jingye's attitude towards the Yu family has always been indifferent, and he has a new lover who is very capable by his side.
As for his useless niece - it's not that he looks down on Yu Keke, he even noticed that something was wrong with the female secretary, so how could she expect her to bring Ji Jingye? Unexpectedly
, Ji Jingye actually showed up.
And to give her special face, the two of them entered the venue together in a seemingly intimate manner.
This is simply the biggest proof that the Yu family has climbed up to the Ji family!
Who would dare not give him face when he went to see him next time?
Seeing them fully display their aura, they became the focus of the banquet. When the people around them looked at them again, their contempt and disdain obviously faded away, and they were obviously re-evaluating the status of the Yu family.
Uncle Yu kept a calm and serious expression, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up: his niece is so ambitious!!
Therefore, even for the sake of his niece's happiness, he would definitely get rid of that female secretary.
No matter whether Ji Lao Er or Ji Linghan was standing behind her, they could not stop his determination.
And Aunt Yu was also very happy at this time.
Although she did not like Yu Keke, she also knew her importance to the Yu family.
Therefore, the more Yu Keke is now in the spotlight and is valued by everyone, the better it will be for their Yu family.
Thinking of this, she looked at Yu Keke with a little encouragement and relief.
You know, the glory she brings to the Yu family now will all belong to their Ranran in the future!
She is so proud of herself.
Yu Ran, who didn't know what her mother was thinking, just looked at her with burning eyes staring at Yu Keke; and Miss Wang, who was waiting to see Yu Keke laugh, now
felt as if she had become the laughing stock. At this moment, their faces turned ashen, as if they had been slapped in the face from a distance, and their faces became hot.
Yu Ran's expression was distorted, and she was even more certain in her heart that her mother was lying to her.
She said nice things, saying that she had to tolerate Yu Keke only for the sake of the Yu family. But the way she looked at Yu Keke now was obviously more gentle and loving than when she looked at her own daughter.
That look was so disgusting, it was almost tender enough to drip water! Damn!
Moreover, Yu Keke used to be the punching bag that was often bullied by her, but what about now?
She moved into the Yunyu community, where the Yu family had no right to even dream of living. She wore an obviously custom-made luxurious dress, and was holding the arm of her fiancé who was at the top of the circle, enjoying the treatment of being sought after by everyone.
However, her parents not only did not think there was a problem, but also, contrary to their usual
behavior, asked her to keep giving in to Yu Keke. They even treated her much better than their own biological daughter.
Especially when she thought about how Song Quan had just been snatched away from her by Yu Keke not long ago, but her mother treated them very differently.
Yu Ran, who was wearing a dress bought from the mall, was so humiliated by the huge gap that she was shaking all over.
Ah, Yu Keke! She was so mad! !
This is not fair, who is the biological daughter of the Yu family now! !
She didn't know that the Yu family was either surprised or crazy about her arrival.
Yu Keke just looked around the hall and didn't find the target, so she asked hurriedly: [Have Miss Wang and the others arrived? Where are they?]
System: [In the corner in front of your left, but blocked by the group of people in front of you.]
Yu Keke: [Have they all arrived?]
After getting a positive answer from the system, Yu Keke couldn't help but reveal an eager smile.
Then, seeing that the people around were ready to come over, obviously to flatter Ji Jingye,
she suddenly let go of his hand.
Then when Ji Jingye lowered his eyes to look at her, she smiled and said, "I saw an acquaintance who invited me here, so I went over to say hello to her. Ji Jingye, you go ahead and do your work, I won't bother you guys."
After saying this seemingly considerately, she really turned around and left without any reluctance.
Ji Jingye: "..."
Soon he was surrounded by the crowd, and looking at Yu Keke's carefree back, his temples jumped, and he couldn't help but sneered.
... Very good, he's busy first?
How could she have the nerve to say such a thing?
Now that she has achieved her goal, she happily left him and ran to eat melons.
But she didn't want to think about who caused the current situation?
The author has something to say:
Yu Keke: Hey, was it me?
