Wherever Mu Ci and Ji Li were, they attracted everyone's attention.
One is white and the other is black, both are very good-looking, and they attended the event in their best attire, as if the light was shining on them, making them dazzling.
After Mu Ci's proposal to let Ji Li get to know the producers and directors was coldly rejected, he never mentioned the matter again.
She guessed that Ji Li was thin-skinned, so she secretly tried to save the country in a roundabout way and achieve her goal through another less direct method.
But before she could seize the opportunity, Mu Cijian saw two familiar figures not far away. Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes flashed.
She snorted and her body stiffened slightly.
Ji Li noticed something was wrong, and with a hint of confusion, he tilted his head and glanced at her.
"I... I met someone familiar. You wait here first. I'll talk to you and come right back." Mu Ci said to Ji Li apologetically, then walked forward.
Ji Li looked at her from behind, carefully observing her, and detected a hint of timidity, but it was not obvious. The dark figure looked much smaller than before, as if she had intentionally restrained her aura and became much more obedient.
He frowned slightly, his eyes darkened, and there seemed to be some unknown expression in them.
Who did you meet? You look so serious.
Ji Li suddenly felt a little irritated, so he picked up the red wine beside him, tilted his head back, and poured the wine directly into his stomach with his Adam's apple moving slightly.
"Brother, are you drinking to drown your sorrows?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
Turning around, it was indeed Ju Hao's guy.
Ju Hao looked at Ji Li with a teasing smile on his face.
Ju Hao was the person that Ji Li had been calling to ask for things, and the person whose phone number had a period "." in its note.
Ju Hao had been following Ji Li and helping him since college. This time he appeared at the banquet hosted by the old man of the Bian family as the person in charge of Mingxiao Company.
"Brother, our great actress Song doesn't want you anymore? Why did she just leave you here and run away?" Ju Hao looked as if he was looking for trouble in the world, and he spoke to Ji Li as if he was a poor abandoned child.
Ji Li glanced at him coldly and warned him secretly.
Ju Hao smiled awkwardly.
"When did you come?" Ji Li asked.
"I came early. I saw you as soon as you appeared. I thought you could notice me, but I didn't expect that you focused on the queen of the film the whole time and didn't pay any attention to me." Ju Hao looked pretending to be sad.
Ji Li's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
"Have you prepared everything for Bian Lin?" Returning to the topic, Ji Li said in a low voice with a stern face.
"It's been prepared for a long time. This time, that guy will definitely be in a mess." That is a big gift, which will definitely make Bian Lin jump for joy.
There were still some unclear clues about the car accident that year, and other clues obtained from the investigation were also mostly disconnected. Now there was no suitable entry point, so the two of them decided to start directly from Bian Lin. If he really had a big problem, he would definitely be exposed. Any clues would allow Ju Hao and Ji Li to expose his true colors.
However...
"Does his son Bian Yuchen need someone to follow up?" Ju Hao thought for a moment and asked.
Hearing Bian Yuchen, Ji Li's face turned a little cold, his eyes were gloomy, and he seemed a little annoyed with this man.
"Don't worry about him for now." His voice was full of impatience.
Here, Mu Ci looked at Song's father and mother not far away, was silent for a moment, adjusted his expression, and then walked straight over.
"Mom." Mu Ci called out.
"You still recognize me as your mother. I thought you were going to cut off all ties with me!" When Song's mother heard the voice, she was happy, but when she thought of what happened before, her face immediately turned cold and she spoke as if she was ignoring her.
"How is that possible? You are my mother. No matter what happens, you are still my mother." Mu Ci walked over with a flattering look on his face.
Although Song Muci has a cold personality, she still behaves like a little girl in front of her mother.
"You're the only one who can say that!" Song's mother poked Mu Ci's forehead fiercely and sighed, "Tell me what you want from me. Every time you come to me, it's all about money. You're smart. You know your dad is mad at you, so you start with me, your mom!"
Mu Ci's daily money was strictly recorded by his cousin Li Wei, so he usually liked to ask Song's mother for pocket money.
"No, no, no, I don't want any money this time. This time I have something serious to do." Mu Ci smiled awkwardly, then straightened his face and said.
"What's wrong?" Mother Song was shocked to see her like this.
"Mom, don't panic. It's just a small matter. Look how nervous you are." Mu Ci smiled, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Mom, I plan to cancel my engagement with Bian Yuchen. The previous engagement is no longer valid."
"What did you say! Xiaoci, are you kidding your mother? You always followed your brother Yuchen around, why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement?" Song's mother looked surprised.
"I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Bian Yuchen didn't like me in the first place, and I was tired of pursuing him, so I just cancelled the engagement, which gave both parties a relief. Besides, you know his character..." In the Song family, although Song's father has always disapproved of Song Muci's development in the entertainment industry, he has always respected her opinions on other matters.
Although Song's mother was surprised, she knew that her daughter was a man of her word, so she probably thought that the engagement she mentioned was true.
"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with your father." Mother Song frowned and said.
"Well, if possible, tell Master Bian in advance. I'm afraid..." Mu Ci fell silent as he spoke.
"What are you afraid of?" asked Song's mother.
"It's nothing, Mom, remember to tell me. I'm leaving first! Someone is waiting for me there." Mu Ci repeated her instructions before leaving.
She was afraid that Bian Yuchen would do something unnecessary at the banquet to restrain her.
It's not impossible. After all, he has the troublemaker Lin Qingqing by his side. If she whispers something in his ear, that guy will definitely do something stupid.
Mu Ci turned around and went back to find Ji Li.
Not far away, in the small garden on the other side, the situation in the banquet hall could be clearly seen from here. Bian Yuchen took in the entire scene.
"Brother Yuchen, it seems that Sister Muci is determined to cancel the engagement with you this time." Lin Qingqing said softly beside Yuchen as he stood there. There were not many lights here, and the schadenfreude in her eyes was hidden in the darkness.
Bian Yuchen felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He had just clearly seen Song Muci go to see Song's mother. If he went to see her at this time, he must be talking about the engagement.
Song Muci had been pursuing him for so many years, and although he didn't like her, he didn't do anything to reject her. After all, the relationship between the Song and Bian families also required a special relationship to connect them. But this time, when Song Muci said that she wanted to cancel the engagement, he was very upset.
She has been pursuing him for so many years, why should she decide to cancel the engagement? He should be the one to bring it up.
Seeing that Bian Yuchen said nothing and just looked in the direction where Mu Ci left, Lin Qingqing gritted her teeth, gently tugged at the corner of Bian Yuchen's clothes, and then said tearfully: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuchen, it's all because of me. If you hadn't helped me ask Sister Mu Ci for help, you two wouldn't have quarreled. Brother Yuchen, why don't I leave!"
He looked timid and as if he was extremely guilty, and after saying that, he made a move to walk out.
When Bian Yuchen saw her like this, his whole attention was focused on Lin Qingqing again. What he liked about her at first was her considerate look. She was cute and kind, which always made him want to protect her.
"It's okay, Qingqing, don't say that. You don't have to leave. I didn't like that cold woman Song Muci in the first place. Since she has cancelled the engagement, then let her cancel it. I don't care. You have to know that I only care about you." Bian Yuchen turned around and hugged Lin Qingqing.
"Brother Yuchen, you are so nice." Lin Qingqing leaned in Yuchen's arms with a happy smile on her face.
"But..." After a while, Lin Qingqing said again.
"What?" Bian Yuchen asked.
"But if Sister Mu Ci brings up the matter of cancelling the engagement with Brother Yuchen first, then Brother Yuchen, you will lose face. By then, let alone how the entertainment news will report this, other people in your circle will probably talk nonsense. Maybe, they will get tired of the old and fall in love with the new, and even say something worse to you."
Lin Qingqing looked worried.
When Bian Yuchen heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
It is indeed as Qingqing said, he has a bad reputation to begin with, and when the time comes, this matter will definitely be blamed on him. Maybe even the reputation of the Bian family and the stocks of the Bian Group may be affected.
Thinking of this, Bian Yuchen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qingqing, you are right. I was indeed careless. We can't let that crazy woman Song Muci do whatever she wants with this matter. I have to take the initiative myself." Bian Yuchen said in a cold voice with a stern face.
"Since she has the audacity to want to cancel the engagement with me and is having an affair with that Ji Li, I will let everyone see her true face." Bian Yuchen's voice gradually became colder.
Seeing that he understood everything immediately, Lin Qingqing was very satisfied. She leaned in Bian Yuchen's arms with a triumphant smile on her face.
Since Ji Li doesn't like her, she won't let him have an easy time.
"Brother Yuchen is so smart!"
hehe.
The party dance began.
When Mu Ci found Ji Li, she discovered that he was alone, standing there by himself, and seemed to be waiting for her very seriously. He looked extremely pitiful.
Mu Ci touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Why are you still alone? There are so many good-looking girls at the party, why doesn't any one talk to you? After all, you are so handsome, and there is probably no other man here who is more eye-catching than you." Mu Ci walked over.
This man even wore a very sexy white suit, which made it hard not to notice him.
As for why Ji Li chose a white suit to attend the banquet, it is unknown.
"Why did you take so long?" Ji Li had a cold face, but said these words with a strong sense of resentment.
Mu Ci listened to Ji Li's words and looked at his pitiful appearance, and felt like a bad woman.
Damn! What are you thinking! No matter who you are, you can’t be as bad as the male lead!
She coughed lightly to get rid of the inexplicable thoughts that popped up in her mind.
"I met an acquaintance and chatted with him for a while." Mu Ci said, and quickly changed the subject, "It's boring to just stand there, let's go dance."
"Are you sure?" Ji Li was a little skeptical.
"Yes!" Mu Ci pulled Ji Li to the dance floor.
