Chapter 24: Lest there be any misunderstanding
He Yurou was so angry that she stomped her feet, she wanted to scold Ding Yao, but she had to maintain her image as a lady, especially in front of Mu Yuanting, the resentment in her stomach could only turn into a complaint: "Brother Yuanting, she is too good!"
Mu Yuanting felt that something was not quite right recently, if the first time was because of hormones, and the second time was because he was unwilling, then what about today? Seeing her holding someone else's arm and leaving, why did she feel uncomfortable?
He Yurou's words went in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, until he found that everyone in the store was looking at him, so he thought about it and said: "She is right, it is really not good for the two of us to meet alone, and we will call less if there is nothing to do in the future, so as not to misunderstand Pei Jinghan." β
After Mu Yuanting finished speaking, he didn't care about He Yurou's expression when he was about to cry, and strode away.
The two entered the hotel one after the other, and the waiter was about to take them to the private room, when Pei Xiwen's voice suddenly came from behind: "Xiaorou." β
The two turned their heads together, Pei Xiwen recognized the person next to He Yurou, paused for a moment, and called excitedly: "Brother Yuanting." β
Mu Yuanting nodded enthusiastically, counting it as a response, but He Yurou asked puzzledly: "Brother Yuanting, how can you and Xiaowen know each other?"
Mu Yuanting didn't want to explain too much, so he simply said: "She is Jiang Shuo's classmate." β
He Yurou and Mu Yuanting have only known each other for half a year, and they don't know much about Mu Yuanting, but she knows Jiang Shuo, although she is Mu Yuanting's cousin, but the relationship between the two is as close as brothers, and it is not surprising that he will know Jiang Shuo's classmates.
He Yurou also wanted to know more about Mu Yuanting, so she looked at Pei Xiwen with a curious expression.
The latter explained with a smile: "I have been with classmate Jiang Shuo for six years, and we often play together, so I met Brother Yuanting, but I didn't expect you to know each other too." β
"We met in the United States, and Brother Yuanting is still my savior. He Yurou cast a look of adoration at Mu Yuanting.
"What happened?" asked Pei Xiwen.
He Yurou took her arm intimately and said, "I'll tell you about this later." β
Mu Yuanting was impatient to listen to the two women's ramblings, walked in front of him with his hands in his pockets and walked in the direction of the box, He Yurou followed behind and said to Pei Xiwen: "Since everyone is a friend, why don't you call Jiang Shuo over and have a meal together, so that I can get to know each other too." β
Pei Xiwen couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I haven't seen Jiang Shuo for a long time, and I just happened to get together together, what do you say, Brother Yuanting?"
The voices of the two were not loud or small, Mu Yuanting could just hear it, he knew Pei Xiwen's thoughts about Jiang Shuo early on, and he knew that his brother was not interested in this woman, so he didn't look back and said: "He has been busy chasing women recently, so he has no time." β
continued to walk forward, but Pei Xiwen continued to ask, "Is that Ding Yao?"
"Who are you talking about?" Mu Yuanting and He Yurou stopped together and asked together.
The two glanced at each other in surprise, and their eyes were full of doubts about the tacit understanding that appeared again.
Pei Xiwen didn't care much about their expressions, her focus was still on Jiang Shuo, she said: "It's the woman who filmed with Jiang Shuo, named Ding Yao." β
Pei Xiwen said, took out the official announcement stills from her mobile phone and handed it to He Yurou, explaining: "This is a movie starring Jiang Shuo, which is about to be released, and the woman in the middle is Ding Yao, don't look at her innocent appearance in the photo, she is actually a green tea, hooking up with my second brother while playing ambiguous with Jiang Shuo." β
Pei Xiwen said, looked at Mu Yuanting, and said with a worried look: "Brother Yuanting, you have to persuade Jiang Shuo, don't be deceived by her." β
Mu Yuanting took a look at the mobile phone in He Yurou's hand, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing his displeasure, He Yurou asked, "Xiaowen, what did you just say about Ding Yao and Jing Xuan?"
"She didn't know how to hook up with my second brother, the movie is about to be developed, my second brother also specially ordered a five-figure dress for her because of this incident, this woman is a student in the play, I see that she must have taken a fancy to Xingyao and wants to sign in, Xiaorou, you must tell my eldest brother that you must not sign this kind of scheming girl. β
"I will. β
Mu Yuanting had already turned around and entered the box, He Yurou and Pei Xiwen followed, they arrived early, the others had not yet come, not long after taking a seat, Pei Xiwen went to the bathroom, He Yurou secretly observed Mu Yuanting, and saw that his expression became more and more tense, she asked tentatively in a low voice: "Brother Yuanting, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Yuanting came back to his senses, glanced at He Yuju, and said, "How did you meet Ding Yao?"
He Yurou was taken aback and wanted to deny it, but remembered that Ding Yao mentioned her boyfriend in the clothing store just now, which had proved that they knew each other from the side.
After a few turns of thought, He Yurou was about to find a way to cover it up, but Mu Yuanting continued: "Don't tell me that it's also through Pei Jingxuan." β
"yes. He Yurou responded to the situation, hurriedly changed the topic, and said worriedly: "What Xiaowen said, do you want to tell Jiang Shuo?" I remember you said that Jiang Shuo has never chased a girl, but that Ding Yao doesn't look simple. β
Mu Yuanting lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, only then did he return to his usual cynical appearance, and he said, "I will handle this matter personally." β
Ding Yao came out of the store wearing that pink and white dress, which attracted the attention of almost all passers-by, Qiao Xiang was uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking: "Many people look at you, do you really want to wear this dress to dinner?"
"This is what I'm going to wear to the movie premiere, how can I wear this to dinner. β
Qiao Xiang: "Then why didn't you replace it just now." β
"With those two people here, how can I change my clothes, and change these back, there will be no momentum. Ding Yao said, shaking the bag containing his original clothes.
The two giggled and laughed, and Qiao Xiang asked again, "Who were those two people just now?"
"The man is the prince of the Mu Group, and the woman is the granddaughter of Lu Guolin. β
If you are an ordinary person, you may only know the Mu Group, but the name Lu Guolin is completely unfamiliar, but the students of the acting department are extremely gossipy, whether it is a star or a wealthy family, they all know a little bit.
Lu Guolin was once a well-known figure in the business world, but unfortunately God was jealous of talents, and the company was thriving when he suddenly suffered a car accident and died young.
Lu Guolin had no children under his knees, leaving only his wife and daughter to guard a large amount of rich inheritance and was eyed by others, fortunately, at that time, Lu Guolin's daughter Lu Xinran already had a boyfriend He Zhiheng who talked about marriage, and at the moment of crisis, He Zhiheng stood up to turn the tide and kept the inheritance and company left by Lu Guolin for his girlfriend.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the world of rich people, it is famous because He Zhiheng is an actor, when the inheritance turmoil occurred, he was in the rising period of his career, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, and today it can be regarded as a small fresh meat level, but after He Zhiheng helped Lu Xinran regain the inheritance, he quit the entertainment industry without hesitation and took over the company before Lu Guolin's death.
At first, some people questioned that he married Lu Xinran with ulterior motives, but He Zhiheng knew how to use his fame very well, and from time to time he appeared in front of the public with his wife to show his affection, this trick not only calmed down those doubts, but also shaped his image as a good man, and helped a lot during his business period.
Knowing the origin of these two people, Qiao Xiang gasped.
"Mom, how do you know them, aren't you afraid to offend these two characters at once?"
Ding Yao: "What are you afraid of, who is Prince Mu, who will deal with such an inconspicuous little person as me for something?"
Qiao Xiang: "But that woman is not necessarily, although she looks gentle and generous, her speech and expression are very contrived, and she looks like a black-hearted beauty." β
Ding Yao laughed: "Even you can see it, how could I not know, but she doesn't dare." β
Seeing Qiao Xiang's puzzled face, Ding Yao patted her: "Okay, I'll change my clothes first, let's find a place to eat and I'll tell you slowly." β
Ding Yao's body was blackened before her death in her previous life, except for the fruit photos that flowed out, it was a rumor that she was the daughter of the junior.
But it was obvious that He Zhiheng cheated first, and even did not hesitate to let Lu Xinran get pregnant before marriage to ensure that he could marry her, but they could easily reverse black and white, and blocked all news, so that Ding Yao could not defend herself.
In fact, even if someone was willing to listen to her at that time, she was unable to prove her identity.
The man who abandoned his wretched wife for money and power was not worthy of being his father, so Ding Yao took her mother's surname, she didn't think that one day she would need to prove anything to others, so since she was sensible, she has never talked about her life experience with others.
At that time, my mother had been dead for many years, and the divorce agreement with my father was burned along with the relics. The only thing that can prove it for her is Pei Jinghan, who knows the truth.
But the man she loved deeply chose to be silent at that time......
The past is like smoke, like smoke.
Ding Yao didn't expect that in her previous life, she would never mention her life experience as a taboo, but now she can tell others at will.
"He Yurou is my half-sister. β
"What? Youβdon't scare me. Qiao Xiang, who was eating vegetables opposite, was so frightened that his jaw dropped.
"Didn't the reports say that Lu Guolin's daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, so how could your father ....." Qiao Xiang said, her voice gradually became smaller, she seemed to have thought of something, and was about to change her words, but Ding Yao smiled and said it for her.
"You want to ask, my mother won't be a junior, right? β
Ding Yao looked at Qiao Xiang with an embarrassed face, and was very relieved that she still had her friend in this world, Qiao Xiang had a straightforward and lively personality, although she was not as careful as ordinary girls, but she was sincere, much better than those who were on the surface and behind the scenes.
Ding Yao took a bite of the dish and said unhurriedly: "The matter is actually very simple, it is the story of a poor boy who concealed his marriage history and entered the entertainment industry, and after becoming famous, he abandoned his knotted wife for glory and wealth, and instead married Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of life." β
Qiao Xiang understands in seconds, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but in the past few years, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and the paparazzi have not yet appeared, so the privacy of celebrities is not easy to be dug up, and then with the change of class and status, it is even more difficult for the weaker party to break out something.
