"Jiaojiao." Xu Ping also came.
"I'm just moving some books, why are you here too?"
Xu Ping looked hesitant and said, "There is a business party tonight, and Mr. Li wants you to attend."
"Why should I go to the business party?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping was dumbfounded. Of course she knew what Mr. Li meant. She also expressed her thoughts to Mr. Li, but it was useless. Mr. Li's attitude now is different from when he asked her to be Jiaojiao's agent. If in the past, he was holding Jiaojiao like a store treasure, now Mr. Li just treats Jiaojiao like a commodity and wants to sell her at a good price.
Sheng Jiaoyang chuckled. She was not a flower in the greenhouse. She didn't know the twists and turns there. Li Yu is a businessman, and there is no friendship with him, so she was not interested in Li Yu from the beginning.
Looking at Jiaojiao's expression, Xu Ping knew that she understood what Mr. Li meant. She sighed inwardly. When entering this industry, she always had to do things by herself. Otherwise, why would so many celebrities have to work on their own after becoming famous? On the one hand, the commission is reduced, and on the other hand, there is no need to be controlled by others.
Suddenly the cell phone rang in the car.
Sheng Jiaoyang pulled out her cell phone and after seeing the caller ID, she raised her eyebrows slightly and answered the call.
"Why did Master Ning call me when he had time? Do you miss the life of an assistant?"
"Xu Jiaojiao, you still owe me a meal."
"Not tonight, I have to attend a business party."
"Business party? Is it the party at the Noyd Hotel?"
Sheng Jiaoyang asked Xu Ping, and after receiving a positive answer, she also replied to Ning Xiaoruan's question.
"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm here too." Ning Xiaoruan's tone was slightly excited.
The corners of Sheng Jiaoyang's mouth curled up. It would be inconvenient to bring her assistant manager to such a party. With Ning Xiaoruan here, she wouldn't have to trouble her grandfather. Although she has never been afraid of anything, it is really troublesome for her to deal with many things in her current status.
Hearing that Sheng Jiaoyang agreed to attend the party, Xu Ping said quickly: "Then I will rent an evening dress for you."
"No, just take me back. I have unworn dresses in my wardrobe."
After returning home, Sheng Jiaoyang talked to Mr. Yang about the party that night, and the old man waved her hand and asked her to go with him that night.
After everything was ready, Sheng Jiaoyang followed Mr. Yang to the hotel. Everyone with an invitation letter would have a room card. They could rest in the corresponding room before and after attending the party. Because they arrived at the hotel in advance, they Went to the hotel suite first.
Ning Xiaoruan called almost as soon as Sheng Jiaoyang arrived.
"Have you set off yet?"
"I've already arrived at the hotel." Sheng Jiaoyang replied.
"Then where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
"No, see you at the venue later."
Mr. Yang waited for her to hang up the phone and asked curiously: "Who called?"
"Grandpa, you have also met him, Shen Zhining's cousin."
"It seems like you have a good relationship, but why can't you get along well with Zhining?"
"He always bullies me. Damn it if I can still get along well with him." Sheng Jiaoyang said with a pout.
Mr. Yang smiled, "That's because he doesn't know you are Jiaoyang."
"He used to bully me a lot when I was a kid, and it's not like I haven't gotten along with him before, but he just doesn't get along well with me. He always suspects me of having ulterior motives. I've always been wronged!"
At this time, An Jing pushed the door in from the outside. Mr. Yang took back what he wanted to say and only said: "You are all grown up, and I don't want to care about you anymore. Everything depends on fate!"
"Grandpa, the dinner has begun." An Jing said.
"Then go down."
The elevator went down to the first floor, and two people who were talking came in.
"Jiaojiao? Why are you here?" The surprised words came from the mouth of the person who stepped into the elevator first.
Sheng Jiaoyang took a look and thought, oh, they are all acquaintances.
The one in front is Pan Zihui.
Behind is Shengxun.
Both are her biological fathers.
"Dad, you're here too." Sheng Xun looked at Sheng Jiaoyang with a scrutinizing look and said respectfully to Mr. Yang.
Pan Zihui also recognized the old man in the wheelchair and quickly said hello: "Hello, Mr. Yang."
Mr. Yang ignored Shengxun and just looked at Pan Zihui with his eyes, "Do you know our Jiaojiao?"
Our family is Jiaojiao? There was a hint of surprise in Shengxun's eyes. At the funeral that day, he saw how the old man treated this girl. At that time, he said that he never wanted to see her again. Why was he so affectionate now?
"I am..." Pan Zihui hesitated again as he spoke.
Sheng Jiaoyang curled up his lips, leaned close to his grandfather's ear and whispered, "That's my biological father now."
Mr. Yang understood and looked at Pan Zihui with a bit of disgust.
Pan Zihui opened his mouth. He clearly felt that Mr. Yang was unhappy with him. Ever since what Jiaojiao said, could it be that Jiaojiao already knew his identity
"Ding" The floor of the dinner hall has arrived.
Pan Zihui walked out awkwardly first and stood waiting nearby.
"Dad, didn't you say you didn't want to see her again?" Shengxun didn't move and asked directly.
"What does it have to do with you?" Mr. Yang said with a straight face, "I have told you many times not to call me dad in the future. We have no relationship whatsoever."
Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at Sheng Xun, who looked much older, pushed the old man's wheelchair out of the elevator, and walked towards the dinner hall.
Shengxun pursed his lips and walked out.
After showing the invitation letter, several people walked into the dinner hall together.
There are already some people in the hall, standing together in twos and threes chatting.
The group of people came in and attracted everyone's attention, and people they knew came over to say hello.
"Xu Jiaojiao." Someone who had been waiting for Sheng Jiaoyang appeared.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned around and looked up and down at Ning Xiaoruan, who looked particularly human-like in a suit.
"Isn't Zhining here?" It was Mr. Yang who asked this question.
"Hello Grandpa Yang, I'm here today on behalf of our Ning Group. I'm not with my cousin, so I'm not sure if he's coming." Ning Xiaoruan said with a serious face.
Mr. Yang nodded.
"Grandpa Yang, I have something to say to Jiaojiao. Let me borrow Jiaojiao for a while and promise not to let others bully her."
"Go!" Mr. Yang waved his hand.
Ning Xiaoruan suddenly smiled, took Sheng Jiaoyang's wrist and walked away.
Sheng Jiaoyang withdrew his hand and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Ning Xiaoruan took two glasses of wine from the plate brought by the passing waiter and handed one to Sheng Jiaoyang.
"I have heard that Grandpa Yang wants to recognize your mother as his daughter, and also wants you to inherit the Yang family's property. Congratulations first! Let's have a drink?" Ning Xiaoruan raised his glass.
Sheng Jiaoyang held the wine glass but was not in a hurry to clink it with Ning Xiaoruan. She said slowly: "If you are congratulating my grandma on having my mother as his daughter, then it is indeed worthy of a toast. If you are talking about inheriting the Yang family's property, I don’t think there’s anything to toast to, because I didn’t marry my grandma for money.”
"Then congratulations to auntie for becoming Grandpa Yang's daughter." Ning Xiaoruan immediately changed his words.
Sheng Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows, Ning Xiaoruan was indeed a lot slippery.
She raised her glass and touched Ning Xiaoruan's wine glass gently, and took an elegant sip.
"Actually, I'm quite curious. I feel like Grandpa Yang is closer to you. Why doesn't he just recognize you as his granddaughter?" Ning Xiaoruan looked at her curiously.
"To accept me as your granddaughter, first -" Sheng Jiaoyang's lips curled up, "He must have a son."
Ning Xiaoruan blinked, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"You know? I was quite happy after I heard that you and your cousin broke up." Ning Xiaoruan said.
Sheng Jiaoyang looked at him and didn't answer, just waiting for his next words.
"I think your personality just doesn't please me. I like everything else. If you are not with my cousin, are you willing to change your personality for me?"
“…”
"You should show your attitude!" Ning Xiaoruan urged anxiously.
"Now, you can walk away gracefully." Sheng Jiaoyang lazily raised a finger, drew a small circle in the air, and shook it out.
Ning Xiaoruan asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"roll!"
"..." Ning Xiaoruan was dumbfounded.
Why is this different from what he thought
"Xu Jiaojiao?" came a female voice from the side.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned her head and saw a graceful woman wearing a close-fitting dress standing not far away holding a man's hand. With her memory, she could recognize the woman at a glance.
Isn't it the famous female star Han Yaying who once participated in Ultimate Ace together
The other party looked like it was incredible that he could see her here.
"It turns out that Senior Han." Sheng Jiaoyang said hello.
"You brought an assistant to such an occasion, you are really a big name!" Han Yaying raised her chin slightly and glanced at Ning Xiaoruan with a critical look. She had seen her backstage at the TV station before, so for such a look-alike Someone who doesn't look like a celebrity assistant at all has an impression.
"Don't say that, how can I be more famous than Senior Han?" Sheng Jiaoyang said with a faint smile on his lips.
"Yingying, who is this?" the man standing next to Han Yaying asked.
Han Yaying smiled brightly and said: "Brother Fang, she is a newly debuted artist who has been a lot of scandals on the Internet recently. You usually only pay attention to those of us who have works, and you don't pay attention to those who are speculated on the Internet. It’s normal to not recognize the gossip news that has been stirred up.”
"Oh, no wonder." The man glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang as if he were looking at garbage. As for Ning Xiaoruan next to him, he simply ignored him.
"But who brought you in?"
"I also want to ask you, who are you? Why have I never seen you before?" Ning Xiaoruan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with a serious look on his face.
"Xu Jiaojiao, I won't argue with you because you are young, but you should take care of your assistant. Being so rude will offend many people." Han Yaying said in a tone of teaching an ignorant junior.
She paused, raised her other hand and pointed at the man beside her, "You can understand if you have just entered the industry and don't know our brother Fang. Brother Fang is the president of our Zhenyu Media and one of the best producers today. one."
At this time, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked straight towards them.
When the man whom Han Yaying called Brother Fang saw the man approaching, a smile appeared on his face and he took the initiative to say hello: "Good evening, Mr. Liang!"
Mr. Liang just nodded slightly in response and said directly to Ning Xiaoruan: "Mr. Ning, I was going to introduce you to some old friends. Are you free now?"
