"It took a while and I came out late."
Shi Yun opened the door and got into the car, reached out to close the door, and explained.
"It's okay, it's still early." Ji Huai hung up the secretary's call and put the phone aside. The person next to him suddenly leaned forward.
"Boo~~"
A sweet kiss fell gently on his right cheek, and her unique fragrance came from the wings of his nose.
Ji Huai's hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his thin lips couldn't help but curl up, and he reached out to cover the back of her head, speaking in a low and slow voice, "What's wrong?"
"You missed me so much." After she finished speaking, she gave a sweet smile, stood up a little, waited for him to turn his head, then leaned forward, pressed her forehead and the tip of his nose, acting like a baby, "I dreamed about you last night."
"What are you dreaming about?" The smile in his eyes deepened and his voice softened.
"Hmm..." She thought about it for a moment, "I dreamed that you came to me. I forgot about the rest. When I woke up, I couldn't sleep. I was confused."
"Go to bed early tonight." Ji Huai said and helped her fasten her seat belt.
She nodded.
The two went to Ji Huaiding's restaurant first. The food in this restaurant was good. At the end of the meal, he advised her to eat more. She might not be able to eat much tonight.
After dinner, Shi Yun was taken by Ji Huai to put on makeup and try on dresses. He didn't need to dress up much. He put on a high-end handmade custom-made suit and did a little hair styling. It took her several hours to go from makeup to styling, plus changing clothes. By the end of the process, it was almost evening.
When they were in the car, Ji Huai told her where they were going.
They were going to attend the engagement party of Tang Zhen and Gu Ling. Tang Zhen was the grandson of Tang's parents, and Gu Ling was Gu Qingnan's cousin. The two families were married. Gu Ling was still young and had just graduated this year, but they were related. It's emotionally based, and it's a beautiful thing.
Ji Huai briefly told her about the Tang family and the Gu family, and also talked about a few key people.
As his female companion, she naturally had to take care of him and not embarrass him, so she listened very carefully, nodding from time to time, and silently noted it in her mind.
The engagement banquet was held grandly at the Tinglang International Hotel in the city center. The banquet hall on the first floor was already crowded with many people, and everyone was chatting with each other.
Meng Shiqing walked in from the door with Duan Jingyan on her arm. She wore a sequined fishtail dress with a sexy V-neck design and a tight-fitting waist design that showed off her slender figure, fully showing off her bulging figure.
She was holding a sequined handbag from P·U's latest fashion show, which matched the clothes she was wearing. She had a confident smile on her face, and the corners of her bright red lips were raised.
As soon as the two people entered the venue, everyone looked over and whispered from time to time, but Meng Shiqing didn't take it seriously and even enjoyed the attention.
Only Meng's father and Meng's mother had dark faces. Meng's father also looked at Meng Xi, suppressing his anger and looking extremely embarrassed, "What is she doing? Does she want to tell the world?"
Meng Shiqing had fallen out with her family several times because of Duan Jingyan, and now she was going to slap them in the face
Meng Xi's face didn't look good either, and he frowned deeply.
Mother Meng covered her chest with her hands, as if she was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She cursed inwardly, "It's too much. I think everyone doesn't know about it, and I'm cutting off my own way out."
"Mom and Dad, I'll take care of it. Don't be angry yet." Meng Xi was afraid that the two of them would be angry, so he quickly comforted them.
The other end.
When Meng Shiqing and Duan Jingyan walked in, the rich girls she met would ask, "Isn't this Duan Jingyan? Is this your boyfriend?"
"Yes." Meng Shiqing nodded, holding Duan Jingyan's hand tighter, still looking very proud.
"Much more handsome than on TV. I want an autograph."
"Hey, I'm also chasing stars. Are you really together?"
"It's because of drama."
…
Everyone was teasing, Meng Shiqing's face flushed, a little shy, her little vanity was greatly satisfied.
She likes good-looking boys and is a standard control over appearance. Many of the marriage partners in the industry who are married to wealthy daughters are ugly, old, and some have a lot of bad habits, which she does not like.
Although Ji Huai looks handsome, he has the temperament of a young master and will not pamper her like Duan Jingyan, giving her the romance and thoughtfulness of an idol drama. In addition, Ji Huai treats her very well, and without the fresh and exciting feeling, she is like a bag. That's why she had private thoughts about Duan Jingyan.
"We did fall in love because of drama, and we are planning to settle down. It is definitely not a hype." Meng Shiqing has been explaining to a few people. Just when she was about to continue saying something, she found that several people were looking at the door again, and she also looked over curiously. .
Ji Huai came with his female companion. He was wearing a neat suit and black trousers. He was tall and straight. Shi Yun beside him was wearing a gray-blue one-shoulder dress. The tight design outlined her beauty. With a slim figure, the skirt has continuous and complicated patterns, which is fresh and refined.
She was fair-skinned, with a delicate and petite face, and long, shawl-length black hair. She snuggled up to him obediently, looking pretty and charming.
"Isn't that the female artist who is very popular recently? Why did she get together with Ji Huai?" Someone blurted out uncontrollably.
"Shhh."
After being reminded by his companion, the person who just spoke quickly shut up, dodged and left.
The Tang family and the Gu family still have a lot of businesses in the entertainment industry, so they were quite surprised to see Shi Yun and Ji Huai appear. Some people were inquiring about Shi Yun's identity and were very curious about it.
Apart from today's newcomers, everyone was most curious about Ji Huai and Shi Yun. Meng Shiqing was once again deprived of her attention. She gritted her teeth and said, "Are they two against us?"
"Forget it, it's not a bad thing to keep a low profile." Duan Jingyan comforted her, his eyes always looking for investors and directors who could talk to him.
Today was a rare opportunity, especially with the aura Meng Shiqing gave him, he couldn't waste this opportunity. Duan Jingyan was about to take Meng Shiqing to greet the investors when Meng Xi appeared and called her away.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Meng Shiqing was reluctant to be taken aside. She seemed to be mentally prepared, waiting for someone to teach her a lesson. She also reminded, "My cousin is getting engaged today. You won't do it in front of everyone." Are you going to embarrass me in front of me?"
People from a big family want to have face, so she dared to do this, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
"What do you mean by bringing him here? Are you forcing us to compromise? Can you use your brain when doing things?" Meng Xi restrained his anger and asked her sullenly.
Meng Shiqing immediately retorted: "Isn't Ji Huai more outrageous than me? He brought Shi Yun here, he..."
"He brought me here to marry him. Are you sure you want to marry Duan Jingyan?" Meng Xi asked with a serious face, "Tell me now, are you sure?"
Meng Shiqing was immediately stopped by the question and then sneered: "Ji Huai wants to marry her? Will the Ji family agree? Shi Yun is an orphan and has nothing. What does she have? Brother, are you kidding me?"
"You have broken off the engagement. It has nothing to do with you who he wants to marry." Meng Xi said, still expressionless, and raised his voice to emphasize, "If it was just for fun, he would not be able to bring this kind of place. Men are better than A woman's reality is tantamount to recognition. I don't know who this woman is. I only know that the woman who wants to marry her will go to great lengths to bring her into the circle and teach her how to behave."
"We didn't care if you played it before. Even if you don't marry Ji Huai later, it can be someone else. Now that you have done this kind of thing, how much reputation is left in the industry? Let me ask you, have you recognized him? ? Do you want to get married even if you die?"
…
Meng Xi's words have been echoing in Meng Shiqing's ears. She used to fight with her family verbally and was pushed forward, constantly rebelling. Now when it was time for her to finally make a decision, she actually hesitated.
In the banquet hall, several greeting voices came:
"Mr. Ji."
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
"Who is this… "
"My girlfriend, Shi Yun."
… .
Meng Shiqing went away after hearing the news. Ji Huaizheng was chatting with Mr. Zhang from Yanan. The two clinked wine glasses and then chatted. Shi Yun was standing next to him.
After a while, Mr. Zhang left. Ji Huai turned sideways, leaned slightly towards Shi Yun's ear, and opened his mouth to speak.
Shi Yun nodded lightly, looking up at him from time to time.
Ji Huai put his hand on her shoulder, patted her twice, and then continued. Although there was not much expression on his face, Meng Shiqing knew that he was speaking seriously.
Shi Yun's hand that was hanging down made some small movements, grabbing the corner of Ji Huai's clothes and pulling at it. He grabbed it with his backhand and held it in his hand.
Meng Shiqing has been going to such occasions since she was a child, and she knew what Ji Huai was doing at a glance. Meng Xi's words couldn't help but echo in her mind: Only those who want to marry a woman will go to great lengths to bring her into the circle and teach her how to behave. .
Try to know as much as possible about the other person's identity, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, how to speak politely and how to answer questions tactfully... Meng Xi taught her, and Meng's father and mother also taught her.
Duan Jingyan's call disrupted her thoughts. Meng Shiqing looked at the call but did not answer it.
Ji Huai was paving the way and escorting Shi Yun, but she had to drag Duan Jingyan forward. Duan Jingyan couldn't do anything, and a feeling of tiredness and imbalance began to arise.
Meng Shiqing pressed the call and hid in the bathroom, her thoughts in a mess.
During this period, several women walked into the bathroom together. They were touching up their makeup and chatting when they suddenly mentioned Shi Yun:
"Ji Huai acquired Hengguang. Who else should he praise if not her? She will probably get a share of the entertainment industry in the past few years."
"I heard that I am still an orphan, but my life is not as good as that of others. Didn't Mrs. Xu invest in a movie? She just said that she should go to the audition. People in the industry have to give Ji Huai some face. I have watched her play, and she I still have the strength, and I will be in the spotlight from now on.”
"Hey, you said Ji Huai brought her here, and Meng Shiqing brought Duan Jingyan here. What's going on with these two people?"
…
Meng Shiqing didn't go out when she heard them discussing.
A few people were talking and talking. One of the women finished applying makeup, pursed her lips, and said slowly to the mirror, "We definitely don't know the specific situation, but there is one thing we can't escape. Meng Shiqing's fault is that she is in love."
When Meng Shiqing heard this, her face turned livid and she was very unconvinced.
"Ji Huai brought Shi Yun here. Even if he is angry with her, he still has feelings for Shi Yun. No matter what Shi Yun says, he has made money. The Tang family and the Gu family are both giants in the entertainment industry. There are many investors here, right? Shi Yun This is revealed, whether it's Ji Huai's compensation or casual, this is something Shi Yun can't buy."
A few people nodded, and she closed her lipstick and said, "If I were Meng Shiqing, I wouldn't bring Duan Jingyan here. It's like digging my own grave. Everyone in the circle knows about it, and their worth has been reduced. Ji Huai dumped him Shi Yun, I am still the heir to the Ji family, the upright eldest young master of the Ji family, do you want me to marry you?"
The others covered their mouths and laughed.
"How many people are lining up to marry me?" After she finished speaking, she put the lipstick in her bag, her tone lowered and her expression restrained, "We seem to be from a good family, who has shares in the company? Anyway, I No, we are just wearing the cloak of family background, and the same goes for the Meng family. If the Meng family is assigned to the big house, Meng Xi, the eldest grandson, has to fight for it."
Hearing this, none of them said anything. They just sighed and changed the subject to talk about the marriage partners introduced by their families. None of them were very satisfied with their words.
Some of them are chess pieces, some are treated better and can get more dowry, and the more favored ones have the company's dividends. There are also many wealthy daughters who have the courage to enter the company to find an official position and support the company, but these strong women No one joins them.
Since they choose to eat, drink and have fun every day, they should find a well-matched husband to continue living the life of a rich wife. In their eyes, Meng Shiqing is the same. The other party uses the family's money to enter the entertainment industry and says it is making money, but in fact it is just throwing money away. resource.
After a few people left, Meng Shiqing still hadn't recovered from those words. Her back was pressed against the wall and her mind was in a mess.
She had never thought about these problems. She was used to being pampered at home, had a bad temper, and could not tolerate being lectured by others. She had had a smooth life since she was a child, and had gotten whatever she wanted. This was the first time she had to confront her family.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."
Just as Meng Shiqing was about to go out, the sound of water came from outside again, accompanied by a familiar female voice, "I'm a little sleepy, can we go back?"
After saying that, Shi Yun smiled again and said, "I can stay with you even if you are sleepy. When you finish things, we will go home."
Meng Shiqing knew who she was talking to without even thinking about it.
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
"One minute."
…
The sounds outside gradually faded away. When Meng Shiqing went out, she stared in that direction. Duan Jingyan had already called her several times. She held her phone tightly and walked out.
"Where have you been? I'm very worried." Duan Jingyan saw her coming out and walked over quickly.
Meng Shiqing forced a smile and made an excuse. She accidentally glanced and saw Ji Huai holding Shi Yun in his arms and talking to Tang Zhen, and then walked to the door. Gu Ling waved to Shi Yun and said goodbye with a smile.
She thought this scene was really glaring and the two of them were really annoying.
late at night.
The Maserati was parked in the underground garage of the villa, with the lights on, but the two of them didn't get out of the car.
Shi Yun sat on Ji Huai, rubbed her face, and complained coquettishly, "It's so tiring to be your female companion. My face almost froze from smiling, it's already sore."
"So, you have wronged yourself for helping me so much. What kind of compensation do you want?" He put his arms around her waist and asked.
"I'm not looking for benefits." She twisted her body and pursed her lips.
"Yes." Ji Huai's eyes were filled with smiles.
"Anyway, I don't want it, but Master Ji always feels sorry for me. Is it right to offer it to me?" she said slowly.
"I took the initiative to give it to you. What do you want?" Ji Huai was curious about her appearance. He leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, going deep inside and kissing her for a long time.
"Well..." She panted slightly, reached out to the front of the car, and brought out a small box.
"You want to be here?" His eyes suddenly darkened a lot.
"Why did you buy this? I don't like this." Shi Yun looked at it, stretched out his hand to open it, and muttered, "I won't use this brand next time. I feel a little uncomfortable."
