Chapter 879 Li Yayun's Provocation
A lot of people came to the birthday party, nominally to celebrate Jiang Ruoliu's birthday, but in fact they came to curry favor with Li Cheng and improve his favorability with the newly appointed deputy mayor.
When Ye Rou and Jiang Chen entered, Cheng Gang had already arrived and was hiding in a corner of the banquet hall, waving at them.
The sturdy man who was about 1.8 meters tall hid behind the potted plant, but he didn't hide his body very well. Instead, he looked a little silly.
“…”
Ye Rou pretended not to see it and turned her head left and right.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and asked her, "What are you looking for?"
Ye Rou whispered, "Do you think the mute woman will come?"
Jiang Chen said firmly: "She will definitely come."
What Ye Rou didn't know was that after the mute woman went to Li Cheng's house to work as a nanny, she went to the black market to buy a gun.
Jiang Chen asked someone to stop her and said that they were also trying to find a way to bring down Li Cheng, and only then did he persuade her.
The mute woman's hatred for Li Cheng is too strong. If everything goes well, Li Cheng's bright future will end today.
Even Wang Qiu, who was emaciated by a terminal illness, was waiting in the car outside the hotel, wanting to witness the moment Li Cheng was arrested.
The mute woman will definitely come.
Jiang Chen squeezed Ye Rou's soft hand and said, "Don't worry, if everything goes well, Mute Po will be able to go back with us today."
Ye Rou's eyes lit up and she said cheerfully, "It will definitely go well."
Cheng Gang was still desperately waving to the two of them, and some people in the banquet hall had already noticed Cheng Gang's strange behavior.
Ye Rou had no choice but to pull Jiang Chen over, but was suddenly stopped halfway through.
"Ye Rou, why are you here!"
The person who called Ye Rou was an old acquaintance, Li Yayun, who had dragged Zhang Sheng to make a movie in order to compete with Ye Rou and ended up suffering heavy losses.
Ye Rou released her hand from Jiang Chen and said, "I'll go deal with her. Go and tell Cheng Gang to stop waving."
Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Gang, who was waving his hands like a lucky cat, and walked over reluctantly with a dark face.
Ye Rou stopped and stared at Li Yayun who was rushing towards her aggressively.
Li Yayun stopped in front of Ye Rou and looked her up and down.
His fingertips curled her newly permed hair, his eyes slanted down to Ye Rou's neatly combed pigtails tied with a bright red hairband, and he sneered, "You're such an old-fashioned person."
"Didn't your movie make a lot of money? Why don't you dress up a bit? You came to the party dressed so poorly, it's hilarious!"
Ye Rou was not angry. She smiled slightly and said, "I did make some money, but it's definitely not as rich as yours. You lost so much money making a movie and still had time to perm your hair. I admire you."
"You!" Li Yayun was so angry that she jumped up and down.
Originally, she and Zhang Sheng planned to wait for Ye Rou and Zhao Shan's movie to be released, and then try to blackmail them regardless of whether it performed well or not.
The reporters and press releases were all ready, but what they didn't expect was that "Nirvana" really became a hit, and everyone in Beijing knew about it, and it became a household name.
But it was obvious that they were not the only ones who had the idea of committing fraud. Overnight, Zhao Shan’s classmates, teachers... all came out and talked about their friendship with Zhao Shan.
The value of Zhang Sheng, an old classmate who actually worked with Zhao Shan, has been decreasing, so much so that when the press release was sent out, it was like a needle dropped into the sea, without any splash.
Li Yayun was not convinced and wanted to ask a reporter to issue a press release. However, the people in the newspaper followed suit and raised the price. Their mean-spirited behavior made Li Yayun so angry that she had a big quarrel with the reporter. Not only did they fail to cooperate, but they also completely offended the reporter.
The reporter threatened her that he would write about what happened on the set, and the headline would be: The deputy mayor's niece bullied others on the set, and "Nirvana" was almost aborted.
Of course Li Yayun couldn't let him report it. Her mother was sent to a mental hospital by her uncle because of this, and she didn't want to go and accompany her mother.
As a result, he was blackmailed for a large sum of money by the reporter.
Li Yayun's savings were running out, and she didn't dare ask her father for money - her father had disapproved of her making a movie from the beginning, thinking that she didn't know the ins and outs of it and would definitely lose money if she jumped in.
Seeing that she had no money, Zhang Sheng dumped her. Before leaving, he laughed at her and called her an old woman. He kissed her so hard that she couldn't eat for three days after returning.
Li Yayun was unwilling to swallow this anger.
She finally figured it out. Things are different now. Her uncle is her biggest supporter. Breaking up with her uncle will not benefit her at all.
Li Yayun shamelessly came to the banquet with her father just to apologize to her uncle.
In the end, my uncle didn't see her, but instead saw Ye Rou, the unlucky woman.
Li Yayun glared at Ye Rou and said harshly, "Ye Rou, don't be so proud. Your family is like an ant in front of my uncle. He can crush it to death with one kick!"
Ye Rou didn't even look at her. She stared behind her and said meaningfully, "Really? So the deputy mayor is so powerful."
Li Yayun thought she was scared, so she raised her head proudly and tried to scare her, but a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Yayun."
The voice was gentle, but it made Li Yayun's hair tremble.
She stiffened and came back to her senses.
Jiang Ruoliu looked at him with a slight smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Li Yayun didn't expect her aunt to hear her, and she hurriedly explained, "Aunt, that's not what I meant."
Jiang Ruoliu didn't look at her, and gently apologized to Ye Rou: "Yayun has been spoiled by her family and speaks without restraint. Miss Ye, please don't take it to heart."
"I'm here to apologize on Yayun's behalf."
Jiang Ruoliu apologized sincerely. Ye Rou's mind was on the mute woman who was supporting Jiang Ruoliu. She didn't care about it anymore and just said, "I'll let her go this time for Madam Jiang's sake."
"But..." Ye Rou stared at Li Yayun and said sincerely, "Misfortune comes from the mouth. I have a good temper and didn't bother with Miss Li, but I won't be so lucky next time."
After she finished speaking, she put away the smile on her face and turned to look for Jiang Chen.
Li Yayun heard the threat in her words and clenched her fists: "You little bitch, stop right there!!"
"That's enough!" Jiang Ruoliu scolded her in a deep voice: "If you cause any more trouble, I'll tell your uncle and have him kick you out!"
Li Yayun still wanted to apologize to her uncle, so she naturally couldn't leave. She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
There was deep disgust in Jiang Ruoliu's eyes when she looked at her.
But she was smart enough not to show it. Seeing that Li Cheng was not in the lobby, she guessed that he should be in the lounge on the second floor, so she asked the mute woman to help her upstairs.
Li Yayun also insisted on going to see her uncle, so she followed him.
Ye Rou went to find Jiang Chen and Cheng Gang.
Jiang Chen saw her frowning and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Ye Rou frankly expressed her confusion: "Jiang Ruoliu is a little strange."
Cheng Gang also saw the argument just now, but didn't see anything wrong: "Hands and feet are all rosy and their faces are red, so they look okay?"
Ye Rou couldn't tell what was wrong. She stared at Jiang Ruoliu as she went upstairs.
Jiang Ruoliu's outfit today is very low-key, with a lake blue dress, solid-color stockings and flat shoes...
The mute woman helped her up the stairs. She took every step carefully and touched her belly from time to time.
Ye Rou's eyes lit up: "I see."
