C28 In the End You Can't Bear to Part with a Woman Outside
Qiao An'er successfully pulled Ji Nian away from Lu Shaocheng without any surprise. These words could not help but show that she was Lu Shaocheng's legitimate girlfriend. It also helped to explain why Ji Nian appeared. Lu Shaocheng wanted to take Ji Nian to his company, so he personally invited her to attend a private birthday banquet to show his sincerity.
Tang Xiufen originally did not agree with Lu Shaocheng to publicize his relationship with Ji Nian. She was distressed about how to stop her son. At this time, hearing Qiao An'er's words, she could not help but look at him in a different light. Lu Shaocheng said that he wanted to make Qiao An'er famous. So the woman who followed by his side had always been Qiao An'er. She had attended the birthday banquet in the past. This year, Lu Shaocheng didn't seem to have invited her. She came by herself.
Lu Zhendong did not agree with Qiao An'er's words. He frowned imperceptibly and was about to say something when he was stopped by Tang Xiufen, who was standing beside him.
Ji Nian forgot that there was another Qiao An'er for a moment. She understood Qiao An'er's words. What sisters? It was simply a lie. Qiao An'er's goal was just not to let Lu Shaocheng expose her identity as Mrs Lu. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Shaocheng. Now it all depended on how he chose. A wife who had been in hiding for two years or a woman outside?
Lu Shaocheng frowned at Qiao An'er who had interrupted him. He suddenly became silent. Ji Nian saw hesitation in his silence. She sneered in her heart. Lu Shaocheng, you can't bear to part with a woman outside.
Ji Nian's self-deprecating smile slowly curved up. She gently shifted her gaze away. Just now, she actually had a little expectation. Now she felt that she was f * cking stupid. She actually believed him!
In the next moment, Lu Shaocheng suddenly walked forward and pulled Ji Nian back to his side. He seemed to have thought about it carefully and looked at Qiao An'er with a firm gaze. His tightly pursed lips opened slightly. "Qiao An'er, I'm really sorry. I miss her..."
Everyone was listening attentively to what Lu Shaocheng was about to say when a clear male voice suddenly interrupted them at the banquet hall door. "I'm late!"
Everyone's gaze gathered on him. A man with an imposing appearance and an outstanding bearing, dressed in a tailored evening gown, walked over steadily. It was as if his arrival was truly an honor to be honored by his presence.
"It's Young Master Mu." The crowd let out a sigh.
Mu Tingye followed the waiter who helped him get the gift. He walked straight to Lu Zhendong. He said apologetically, "There was a traffic jam on the road. I came late. I will punish myself with three glasses later. First, I wish Chairman Lu good luck like the East Sea and longevity like the South Mountain. " The waiter behind him also brought gifts.
With such courtesy, who would blame him? Lu Zhendong laughed and patted Mu Tingye's shoulder. "It's fine, it's fine. Later, accompany me to drink a few more cups. I had a drinking match with your father back then. Now that I'm old, I have to drink less. I don't want to have fun! "
"Chairman Lu, if you want to drink, of course I'll accompany you. I'm afraid Madam Chairman won't allow it." Mu Tingye smiled.
"Of course I will not allow it. You young people should also drink less. But I am happy today. I will allow you to drink more." Tang Xiufen also smiled and replied.
Only then did Mu Tingye turn his head to look at Lu Shaocheng. Finally, his gaze landed on Ji Nian. There was a light arc on his thin lips. When he walked to Ji Nian's side, he actually very naturally and intimately put his arm around her shoulder. "Director Lu also invited you to attend the birthday banquet?"
Once he joined, the three of them became four people. The one who matched with the other immediately became clear.
The people who did not know what was going on automatically helped them divide the team. Lu Shaocheng, Qiao An'er, and Ji Nian had really gotten on Mu Tingye's good side. Now they wanted to get on Lu Shaocheng's good side. This woman was really not easy to deal with.
Only the people who were involved knew that the atmosphere was strange and depressing. Lu Shaocheng's eyes were cold and focused. He held Ji Nian's shoulder with his hand and said in a deep and heavy tone, "Mu Tingye!"
"Let go of her!" Lu Shaocheng shouted in a low voice.
The light in Mu Tingye's phoenix-like eyes changed, and he said faintly: "Director Lu, what is going on?"
Only then did the others realize that the atmosphere between these people was not right. This thought only flashed through their minds when Lu Shaocheng suddenly grabbed Mu Tingye's collar. He pointed at Ji Nian with one hand and said sternly to Mu Tingye, "Let me tell you, Ji Nian is..."
"Shaocheng!" Tang Xiufen suddenly shouted nervously and hurriedly ran over to pull Lu Shaocheng's hand away. She scolded him repeatedly, "What are you doing? It is your father's birthday banquet now. Do you want to mess up the banquet?"
She turned around and smiled apologetically to Mu Tingye, "Young Master Mu, Shaocheng drank a little too much today. He is muddle-headed. There is absolutely no other meaning." At the end, she even pushed Ji Nian to Mu Tingye's side and said, "You can do whatever you want, whatever you want."
Ji Nian looked at Tang Xiufen in disbelief with her eyes wide open. She actually pushed her daughter-in-law to another man's side?
Who knew that Tang Xiufen's actions even provoked Lu Shaocheng's red eyes. He pulled Tang Xiufen, who was standing in the middle of them, behind him and grabbed Ji Nian's wrist to pull. She staggered over and was held in his arms. Ji Nian was a little angry. What did he think of her?
Lu Shaocheng circled Ji Nian and looked at Mu Tingye coldly as if he was announcing his authority. "Mu Tingye, I hope you will be more polite to her in the future and take advantage of today's opportunity. I want to make one thing clear to everyone, this woman... "
"Shaocheng, Shaocheng, I..." Qiao An'er's face turned pale and she suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Lu Shaocheng was stunned and subconsciously shook Ji Nian away from his arms. He squatted down and pulled Qiao An'er into his arms and anxiously asked, "Qiao An'er, what happened to you? Qiao An'er?"
Qiao An'er's eyes were unfocused. She forced a smile and said weakly beside his ear, "I just took some medicine." As soon as she finished speaking, her hand slid down.
Medicine? Lu Shaocheng's eyes tightened, as if he had realized something. He cursed in a low voice, "Damn it!" Then he picked Qiao An'er up, turned around, and walked towards the door with big strides.
Qiao An'er's slightly closed eyes only had a sliver of a crack left. As her figure swayed, she weakly lied in Lu Shaocheng's arms. There was an unnoticeable coldness at the corner of her mouth. Even if she was masochizing herself, she would not allow Lu Shaocheng to reveal the relationship between him and Ji Nian. Definitely not!0
Ji Nian was slightly stunned. Seeing Qiao An'er's pale face, she thought to herself, Could Lu Shaocheng's decision really be that big of a blow to her? She could not help but follow to see what was going on.
Mu Tingye's eyes flashed slightly and he also followed her out.
The guests present were confused. They only knew that Lu Shaocheng seemed to have a conflict with Mu Tingye because of Ji Nian, and then Qiao An'er fell ill. For a moment, the scene was a little chaotic.
Tang Xiufen hurriedly consoled the crowd and let Lu Zhendong stay behind to receive the guests, then she chased after them.
At the hotel entrance, Lu Shaocheng carried Qiao An'er into the car and was about to close the door when Ji Nian pulled the door. She looked down at Qiao An'er who was lying in Lu Shaocheng's arms like a blank piece of paper and asked, "Is Qiao An'er alright?"
Lu Shaocheng was very anxious at that moment and shook off her hand.
"Move aside!"
