Chapter 23 is just a substitute
Knowing what she did just now and achieving the desired effect, Jiang Xinrou was a little happy.
But after thinking about it, she asked again, "Ling Yan, who is this girl who lives in your house?" ”
As soon as Mu Xingyue was mentioned, Mu Lingyan stood up: "You have too many questions. You go to the store first, I'll look for you later. ”
After speaking, Mu Lingyan had already strode up the stairs.
Jiang Xinrou looked at Mu Lingyan's back, there was sadness and unwillingness in her eyes, and in the end, it turned into hatred.
***
Mu Lingyan pushed open the door of Xingyue's bedroom, but saw Xingyue lying on the bed, with her back to the bedroom door, and she couldn't see the front.
The bowl with the ice cubes was placed at the head of the bed, and Xiaoyou was not in the house.
Thinking that Xingyue was in a bad mood and had fallen asleep, Mu Lingyan did not enter the house and closed the door.
After Mu Lingyan changed his clothes, he left the villa.
But he didn't know that someone was watching him all the time where he couldn't see.
Watching him leave in the car, Xingyue in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was full of loneliness.
She had just looked up information about Jiang Xinrou on the Internet.
knows that she is a hot star who has only debuted in the last year or two, and she has also won several important awards in one fell swoop.
And alongside her beauty and acting skills, she is well-known for her love life: it is said that she has a close relationship with the CEO of RK Group, and her relationship has developed rapidly, and she has been photographed by reporters many times of the two in pairs.
Looking at Mu Lingyan, who could still be identified in the blurry photo, Xingyue's heart was empty.
***
Film and television development will also play a major role in all of RK Group's businesses.
Therefore, in order to build momentum for an annual big IP that the company focuses on developing, the company negotiated with Jiang Xinrou's studio to use Jiang Xinrou's feelings as a publicity gimmick for the new play.
And Mu Lingyan, who is the protagonist of the scandal and the big boss of the RK Group, naturally needs to attend.
He and Jiang Xinrou wore well-matched "couple clothes" and were captured by many media and cameras, but this has always been Mu Lingyan's most hated part.
If it weren't for Jiang Xinrou and the company's propaganda department begging him in every possible way, he would have left long ago.
Therefore, when everyone was envious of the "talented men and women" in the camera, all the staff of the Film and Television Publicity Department of RK Group were sweating nervously in their palms.
I'm really afraid that the boss will be annoyed if he doesn't know when, and then leave the room full of performers and all kinds of media to ignore.
Fortunately, Mu Lingyan was still "obedient" and persisted until the end of the press conference.
Although he didn't smile and had a stinky face the whole time, after all, he was handsome, handsome, and he could do whatever he wanted!
The news content at the press conference was quickly edited and turned into entertainment news, which was sent to various TV stations for broadcast in the entertainment section.
Sitting barefoot on the carpet with a pillow, Xing Yue stared blankly at Mu Lingyan who was interviewed by reporters with a "smile".
Xiaoyou came over and sat beside her and comforted: "Miss Xingyue, don't be sad, Mu Shao and the person named Jiang Xinrou are hype at all, not really together." Mu Shao was forced. You know Mu Shao, right? ”
Xingyue smiled bitterly: "I understand him." ”
Just when Xiaoyou was about to rest assured, Xing Yue continued: "I just know him, so I don't believe that he was forced. How could a person he was so proud of be forced to do something? It must have been his own will. Even if you are forced, you are willing to be forced. ”
Xingyue's words left Xiaoyou speechless.
Picking up the mirror to look at herself, Xingyue was a little depressed.
One is a big star with unique beauty and fame, and the other is an ordinary little woman who is as ordinary as dust, with no money and no status......
Wait......
Wait a minute!
What's going on with yourself?
Why is it so sad?
"Could it be...... I really like Mu Lingyan?! ”
Xingyue asked in surprise, and unconsciously really said it, and it was also heard by Xiaoyou.
Xiaoyou looked at Xingyue with her legs and asked her, "Did you know?" After you came back from the United States this time, the state of Mu Shao and Mu Shao was completely different from before you went to the United States. You really like Mu Shao! ”
"No...... Yes......"
Xingyue was overwhelmed.
But if you don't like Mu Lingyan, how can you explain your loss these days?
Only then did he realize his feelings, which made Xingyue fall into hesitation.
Looking at the two big words on the photo of Mu Lingyan and Jiang Xinrou in the same frame on TV: "Love", Xingyue's heart was sour.
When Mu Lingyan didn't have a lover, she still had a reason to stay by Mu Lingyan's side, but now, after Mu Lingyan already had a lover, what was her existence?
The phone rang suddenly.
It's an unfamiliar number.
Mu Xingyue picked it up: "Hey, hello." ”
"It's me, Jiang Xinrou." The person on the other end of the phone got straight to the point.
The last thing Mu Xingyue wants to hear now is about Jiang Xinrou, she was silent and did not answer.
But Jiang Xinrou didn't mind, she on the other end of the phone continued: "You have already watched today's press conference, right? ”
Xingyue frowned: "Are you okay, I'll hang up the phone if it's okay." ”
"Absolutely. Do you want to know, why Mu Lingyan stayed with him? ”
This question successfully attracted Xingyue's attention, but she still tried to restrain herself: "What do you want to say?" ”
"I just want to tell you, don't think that you are so special to Mu Lingyan, you are just a substitute!"
"What?"
"Alternatives. You're just a substitute for the old man. You and I are all the same. Your eyes are like that person, and my nose is like that person, so you still have to be a little self-aware. ”
Jiang Xinrou on the other end of the phone chuckled a few times.
Xingyue didn't want to listen any longer, and immediately hung up the phone.
Eye......
Eyes like that man......
Mu Xingyue stared at her eyes in the mirror.
She once remembered that when Mu Lingyan looked into her eyes a few times, her eyes would inadvertently reveal some tenderness.
Before, she thought that gentleness was because of her;
And now it seems that she is self-inflicted.
At night, Mu Lingyan came back very late.
The press conference was followed by a cocktail reception.
Investors, producers, directors and film crews, actors and others attended the reception.
Everyone staggered until midnight.
He rubbed his eyebrows and walked up to the second floor, saw Xingyue's door, and remembered that she had fallen asleep before he left, and he didn't know if he was asleep now.
I don't know why, after the end of today, he is very eager to see Xingyue.
The door was still unlocked.
There was no light in the bedroom, Mu Xingyue hugged her legs on the carpet next to the bed, her back against the bed.
It's a sitting position she particularly enjoys and will make her feel safe.
Hearing movement behind her, Xingyue immediately turned around to check.
I saw a dark familiar figure, standing by the bed not far from him.
"Ling Yan?" Xingyue asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Replied with a hint of alcohol.
"Why don't you sleep yet?" Mu Lingyan asked.
"Can't sleep. Waiting for you. Xingyue replied honestly.
The three words "waiting for you", with magic power, made Mu Lingyan a little happy for a moment.
The corners of his mouth curled unconsciously.
Then, Xingyue's voice sounded again: "I have something I want to tell you." ”
"Say."
Mu Lingyan walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water, after drinking, he always felt that his mouth was dry.
Xingyue hesitated for a moment, and spoke again: "I want to leave." ”
"What did you say?" Mu Lingyan frowned, what is this girl crazy about?!
"I want to leave." This time, Xingyue's answer was more firm than the last time.
"Leave? Where to? Mu Lingyan suppressed his anger.
"I don't know. I should rent my own house and get a job......"
With two snaps, the lights in the bedroom were turned on, and Mu Xingyue couldn't open his eyes when he was blinded by the sudden bright light before he finished speaking.
She was grabbed by Mu Lingyan's arm and forced to stand up.
Mu Lingyan glared at her: "What do you want to do?" Why leave?! Do you have any grievances here?! ”
"Nope! There are no grievances. Xingyue was hurt by him and bit her lower lip. Mu Lingyan, what am I to you? ”
This question made Mu Lingyan stunned, the strength of his hand decreased sharply, and Xing Yue took the opportunity to get rid of his iron claw-like hand.
Rubbing the place where his arm was hurting, Xing Yue said, "Mu Lingyan, there is no reason for me to stay in your house all the time. Besides, you have a girlfriend, it's really inconvenient for me to ......"
Mu Lingyan just looked at her with a frown, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.
"Mu Lingyan, I beg you, please let me go! I don't want to be someone else's stand-in, and I don't want to be a junior, you let me go! I will pay you back the money for clothes, I will pay you back if you ask the doctor for money, and I will ...... all the money used here Not! ”
The words were choked.
Mu Lingyan suddenly kissed her again!
was carried by Mu Lingyan, and retreated again and again until he was pushed to the wall!
It's still so strong, there's not a little room for Xingyue to struggle.
Mu Lingyan raised Xingyue's wrists high with one hand and clasped them above his head.
The other hand clasped Xingyue's waist tightly, forcing Xingyue's entire body to be sandwiched between him and the wall.
His kiss had an overbearing aura that filled her entire mouth.
"Hmm, it hurts!"
The lower lip was suddenly bitten, and Xingyue exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Lingyan didn't stop because of this, and it wasn't until they both couldn't breathe that they finally let go of Xingyue's lips.
His hot breath sprayed in Xingyue's ears, hot, tickling......
"Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me......"
He repeated the phrase over and over again, with a sadness in his eyes that had never been seen before.
Mu Lingyan at this moment is different from the Mu Lingyan that Xingyue has always seen.
He was fragile at this time, like a child.
Even his grip on her hand was loose.
Unconsciously, Xing Yue stretched out her hand and gently stroked Mu Lingyan's cheek, feeling a trace of cold liquid.
I don't know if it's my own, or his.
"Hmm!"
When Mu Lingyan's hand was distracted, he came to a place where he shouldn't have come, causing Xingyue's body to be sore......
