Chapter 331 Let’s go take care of another important matter first, and then come back to ours in the evening.
The resort hotel where Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que stayed was right next to where the filming took place, and many artists also choose to stay here.
Meng Tinglan also lived downstairs from them.
There was still half an hour before the cocktail party started. After Meng Tinglan was ready, he went upstairs and knocked on the door of Meng Zhiyi's room.
"Little sister, the cocktail party is about to start. There will be delicious cakes. Do you want to go?"
No one answered the door. Meng Ting frowned, then continued, "If you don't want to go, I'll bring something back for you in the evening."
Still getting no response, he curled his lips and turned away.
In the room, Meng Zhiyi had already put on a little dress, but she was still pressed against the cabinet by some big bad wolf who couldn't hold back and was kissed passionately.
Meng Zhiyi listened to the voice of his fourth brother outside the door and kicked the person on his body.
The lust in Shen Que's eyes gradually faded away, and he reluctantly stopped the kiss and said hoarsely: "Or, let's not go."
"..." Meng Zhiyi kicked him again, this time using a little more force: "We are here to do serious business!"
Shen Que tilted his head and bit her ear gently: "I'm talking about serious matters."
Meng Zhiyi reached out and tugged at his ear: "Hurry up! If you can't make it to the party, you'll have to get a new room to sleep in tonight."
"Okay, as you command."
Shen Que smiled lovingly, then put his hand behind her and pinched the chain with his fingertips and pulled it up.
Then he whispered in Meng Zhiyi's ear: "Then go and do another important thing first, and come back in the evening, and then do ours."
Meng Zhiyi glared at him in reproach, then let Shen Que put on her high heels before they left.
The cocktail party was held in the banquet hall of the hotel. When the two arrived, the official director and producer were giving speeches.
Of course, there is also someone who brought in capital.
Meng Tinglan never liked this kind of occasion because he had been there too many times when he was a child with Meng Zhizhou and found it boring.
I simply picked up a glass of wine and stood aside and watched as if it had nothing to do with me.
When he saw Meng Zhiyi, he became interested and walked towards her with a smile.
"Little sister, I thought you weren't coming."
Meng Zhiyi held Shen Que's arm, tilted his head and looked around, then turned his gaze back to Meng Tinglan.
You know what, I'm used to seeing him looking sloppy in his pajamas at home, so suddenly seeing him dressed so formally, he actually looks quite handsome.
"Aren't you the main character of this drama? Why don't you go and speak up?"
Meng Tinglan pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and said: "I didn't take the leading role, I took the second male lead."
"Huh?" Meng Zhiyi found it strange. Don't most artists try their best to get the leading role?
"I read the script carefully. On the surface, it's about brotherhood, but in reality, it's..." Meng Tinglan stopped talking here, and felt that the next words were a bit difficult to understand.
"What is it actually?" Meng Zhiyi asked.
Meng Tinglan's expression changed, as if he had thought of something disgusting, and he made a face: "Anyway, I don't want to play the leading role."
The incident with Director Zhou last time left a shadow on him, and he already knew his fate from Meng Zhiyi's thoughts.
So Meng Tinglan was extra cautious during this period, thinking that if he could avoid it, he wouldn't have to let his little sister accompany him in adventures.
Meng Zhiyi narrowed her eyes and then smiled.
She seemed to know it.
At this time, the director and producer also noticed Shen Que's arrival and immediately came up to him with a smile.
"My fourth brother and I will go get something to eat and wait for you." Meng Zhiyi withdrew his hand, then pulled Meng Tinglan away.
This time she came to see who was the person who imprisoned Meng Tinglan, so she naturally couldn't attract too much attention.
Shen Que looked at the brother and sister who left without looking back, and always felt that he was abandoned.
"Mr. Shen." The director and producer came closer, their faces almost breaking with smiles.
Shen Que hummed lightly, took a glass of wine from the waiter, held it in his hand, and chatted with these people with ease.
Here, Meng Tinglan brought Meng Zhiyi to the dessert area, followed her with a small plate in his hand, and took all the flavors she liked.
"Tell me, why don't you play the leading role anymore? Was it someone who snatched the role away from you, or were you bullied?" Meng Zhiyi asked casually while eating a small piece of raspberry-flavored cake in her hand.
Meng Tinglan did not announce to the public that he was the young master of the Meng family. He really relied on his own face and abilities to work hard in the entertainment industry.
As far as Meng Zhiyi knew, he had never used any resources at home.
So when Meng Zhiyi heard him say that he didn't play the leading role, the first thing he thought of was that the role was snatched away from him.
"I just don't want to act. It's not as complicated as you think." Meng Tinglan said, and did not forget to bring her a glass of juice.
Afterwards, the brother and sister found a seat in the rest area and sat down.
Meng Zhi thought that he was unwilling to talk, and did not think of asking further. Instead, he ate while observing the people at the party.
Little did they know that behind the crowd, a pair of eyes were staring at this side closely.
"That woman looks a lot like Meng Tinglan." The man took a sip of wine, with an intriguing expression on his face.
"It is said that she is the sister of Meng Tinglan's twin. It is normal for them to look alike as siblings."
The man did not hide the determination in his eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips: "What a pity, if it wasn't a dragon-phoenix twin, but twins, it would be even better."
"However, his sister seems to have some relationship with the one from the Shen family."
The man raised his eyebrows, then moved his gaze to Shen Que who was surrounded by a group of people not far away, his eyes darkened: "Really?"
"Outsiders don't know, but everyone in the upper circles of the capital knows that the daughter of the Meng family and the young master of the Shen family are engaged. If the boss wants to touch Meng Tinglan, he must be careful."
The man licked his lips, his eyes full of mischief: "You are wrong, it's not me who wants to touch him, it's him... who asked me to touch him."
After saying this, the man seemed to have thought of something and then he started laughing.
His smile was so creepy that even the men behind him felt a little scared.
"Speaking of which, the prince of the Shen family is also very good-looking..." The man stopped laughing, stroking his chin and looking towards Shen Que.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he reminded, "Boss, we can't afford to offend the Shen family member."
"I know, it's just a thought, why rush?" The man snorted in boredom and continued drinking his wine.
But his eyes always fell on Meng Tinglan.
"Little sister, why do I feel a little cold?" Meng Tinglan shuddered.
Meng Zhiyi didn't care. After eating three small cakes, she couldn't eat any more: "The air conditioning is too low."
"Maybe." Meng Tinglan said this, but he still felt uneasy in his heart and had a bad feeling.
It's impossible that I'm not even playing the leading role and still being targeted by that homosexual, right?
But at this moment, Meng Zhiyi also noticed a vague gaze falling on him.
