The system released the task as soon as Qin Yue sent out the invitation: [Although it was an accident to meet Qin Yue here, in the original plot, you also went to this dinner after receiving the invitation message. Therefore, participating in the dinner party is a fixed plot and cannot be escaped! γ
Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked the system rhetorically: "Why do you think I want to escape?" β
[uh......] The system was silent for half a second, [Because according to the plot of the original book, in order to prove that you are very happy after marriage, you called Ye Jingchi at the dinner. As a result, the other party was very cold to you, you lost face in front of your colleagues, and you were disgusted by him for disturbing Ye Jingchi's work. γ
Ruan Ling and the system are brainwave exchanges, and in Qin Yue's opinion, Ruan Ling was silent after hearing the invitation.
This silence was interpreted by Qin Yue as "timidity", so he became even more energetic: "Ruan Ling, although you are no longer in the company, you have many friends and many paths. Listen to my brother's words, let's have a meal together, if you need help in the future, everyone will not careββ"
Ruan Ling: "Time? Place? β
"Huh?" Qin Yue was stunned for a second after being interrupted, "Six, half past six, Longyuan Hotel." β
"I see." Ruan Ling said indifferently, "My driver has arrived, I'll go first." β
After speaking, Ruan Ling turned around and walked to the intersection, leaving Qin Yue with a back.
Qin Yue stood in place for three seconds, and after reacting, he gritted his teeth: What a drag! Also driver? If he hadn't seen her looking at cheap houses, he might have believed her!
β¦β¦
It's just summer, but it's very hot.
However, the temperature in the car was comfortable, and the seats were spacious, Ruan Ling squinted and leaned on the back seat comfortably blowing the air conditioner.
The professionalism of the driver is excellent, and he will never say a word without Ruan Ling's requirements, and he is very quiet along the way.
When they arrived at the door of the villa, the system finally couldn't help but comfort Ruan Ling: [Don't be discouraged, although Ye Jingchi will definitely not cooperate with you at the party at that time, you can keep a low profile. Don't keep showing off your marital happiness like in the original book, and show weakness to your colleagues appropriately, presumably those colleagues won't embarrass you too much-]
Ruan Ling lazily handed the handbag to the maid and responded to the system: "Don't talk yet." β
System: [......]
Ruan Ling: "Yes, I just dislike you for being too noisy." β
System grievances: [I'm kind enough to give you an idea! Do you know what to do in a moment? γ
"Yes." Ruan Ling smiled casually, "Sister is going to show off." β
[......] I didn't listen to it at all!
The system said bitterly: [Believe me, Ye Jingchi will not cooperate with you to perform, he is very tired after a day of business trip, and your relationship is not good. γ
Ruan Ling raised her eyelids: "Who said I need the cooperation of others?" β
[Huh? γ
Ruan Ling: "I only want his money, not his people." β
The ...... system was speechless again.
The housekeeper walked up to Ruan Ling at this time: "Madam, the maid has already sorted out all the clothes according to your instructions." β
Ruan Ling said "um" and followed the servant into the cloakroom.
This cloakroom is for her own and is spacious. Surrounded by wardrobes and shoe cabinets, in the middle is a glass display case.
Spotlights hit the ornament display case from the ceiling, and a pigeon's egg and diamond ring shines inside.
Although there is no love in this marriage, Ye Jingchi still gave the original owner the dignity he deserved.
The two held a simple, but inexpensive wedding. The venue and wedding supplies were all paid for by Ye Jingchi, including this diamond ring, in addition to various jewelry and dresses.
Ruan Ling was in a good mood and took out the diamond ring and wore it on her ring finger to admire.
Who doesn't love beautiful things? And you don't have to spend your own money.
Then she walked around the room again, and finally stopped next to a golden evening gown, and nodded with satisfaction: "This dress is good, it looks good, and it looks expensive." β
The system has an ominous premonition: "You are not going to wear an evening dress and pigeon eggs to a colleague dinner, right?" γ
"yes." Ruan Ling replied as a matter of course, "Otherwise, how can it be called a showmanship?" β
β¦β¦
At half past six in the evening, under the repeated urging of the system, Ruan Ling finally set off from home.
When he was about to go out, Ruan Ling happened to bump into Ye Xu who came out of the room and was about to have dinner.
Seeing Ruan Ling dressed up, Ye Xu's eyes were surprised and complicated.
Ruan Ling smiled and waved at the young man: "I'm going out tonight, I can't eat with you." Tomorrow at noon, we will try Aunt Zhang's new dish together! β
Looking at the slender back of the woman leaving, Ye Xu was silent.
Except for the wedding, it was the first time he saw Ruan Ling dressed up so carefully, with "exquisite" and "luxury" written from head to toe.
In all fairness, she was even more eye-catching tonight, as her expression was more radiant than at the wedding.
Ye Xu knew in her heart that she had no obligation to inform herself of her whereabouts.
It's just that...... Ye Xu was only sixteen years old after all.
The fact that my father had just gone on a business trip and my father's new wife dressed up and went out at night still caused ripples in the hearts of the young man who had not been deeply involved in the world.
It's not anger or blame, it's just an inexplicable faint disappointment in marriage or family.
After bowing his head and being silent for a long time, Ye Xu pulled the corners of his mouth and turned around and walked into the restaurant.
.
At seven o'clock in the evening, in a box of the Longyuan Hotel, nearly 20 people sat around the round table.
Qin Yue is a team leader in the department, and he is in charge of three or four people. Recently, he bought a new car, and his wife just gave birth to a baby.
"Brother Qin, Ruan Ling, will she really come tonight? Why hasn't it arrived yet? The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who looked about the same age as Qin Yue.
"That's right." Another chimed in, "It's been half an hour, why haven't you even seen a figure?" Brother Qin, could Ruan Ling promise you with words, but in fact, she didn't plan to come at all? β
Someone retorted: "Impossible! Who doesn't know that when Ruan Ling first came to our company, it was Brother Qin who brought her. Brother Qin took care of her so much at the beginning, she had a little conscience, so she would not not give Brother Qin face. Right, Brother Qin? β
"Hehe, that's for sure." Qin Yue smiled, "Let's eat first, Ruan Ling is probably stumped by family affairs, and she should be here in a while." β
"Brother Qin." A female colleague with a round face couldn't hide her curiosity, "You said you met Ruan Ling today, so did you ask her, that ......?"
She was thin-skinned and embarrassed to appear to be too gossipy, but another older colleague next to her asked for her.
"Yes, I heard that Ruan Ling married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife? Is that true? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Yue, intentionally or unintentionally, expecting him to give a response.
Qin Yue was a little weak-hearted. He also met Ruan Ling for a short time, how can he say for sure?
But soon, he convinced himself again. A rich wife who is not hugged from front to back will definitely not look at the house alone like Ruan Ling, and she still looks at a small apartment.
Now that everyone's eyes are on themselves, wouldn't it be a loss of face if they didn't answer at this time?
Thinking of this, Qin Yue first pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "What's this...... If you want me to say, Ruan Ling is beautiful, and if she wants to marry into a wealthy family, she is still almost hot. β
Qin Yue didn't say anything, but he had already given everyone the answer with his tone and eyes.
So, some of the people pretended to express pity, and some said that they had guessed it a long time ago.
The whole box was filled with a cheerful air.
After all, who would really want their colleagues to do better than themselves?
Just when everyone was talking, there was a commotion outside the box.
A few seconds later, a slender figure slowly appeared at the door of the box, followed by a big man in a suit.
The originally noisy box was instantly quiet.
"Ma'am." The voice of the man in the suit was not loud or small, just enough for everyone in the box to hear, "I will take someone to guard the door, and if necessary, you can call me at any time." β
Ruan Ling smiled slightly: "Okay, hard work." β
Everyone: "......"
"I'm sorry, everybody." Under the gaze of many eyes, the woman moved gracefully, and the corners of her mouth hooked a shallow smile.
"I just attended a charity auction and was delayed for a while." Ruan Ling smiled and said, "You won't blame me, right?" β
System: [......] How did this guy manage to be serious and? What the hell is a charity auction?
Just now, it asked Ruan Ling why she didn't go out earlier even though she was fine, and she replied clearly: "You don't understand, important villains all appear in the finale." β
Ruan Ling's appearance made the box quiet for a moment, and everyone's eyes involuntarily followed her.
The woman's figure is bumpy, her skin is fair, and her makeup is just right, and she is breathtakingly beautiful.
Coupled with this grand dress, Ruan Ling is like a rich flower in the world, saying that she is a female star who comes to walk the red carpet, no one will feel wrong.
If someone with a little money is dressed up so exaggerated to attend a colleague dinner, everyone will probably think: Where did the conspicuous bag come from? Afraid that others don't know how much stinky money they have?
But when the money reaches a certain level, things change qualitatively.
Ruan Ling's body: a haute couture dress that is worth a lot of money at first glance, sparkling diamond earrings, equivalent to a handbag in a local house, and the dazzlingly large pigeon egg.
There are also sharp-eyed people who see the luxury car worth millions parked outside the window.
As a result, no one laughed at Ruan Ling.
Almost everyone is thinking: If she has a good relationship with Ruan Ling, she will leak a little money to herself, won't she be developed?
After a brief silence, the box became noisy again.
"Gee, how can everyone blame you. Lingling, you came here, it's too late for us to be happy. β
"Yes, yes, Lingling, you were in too much of a hurry when you left your job, and everyone didn't see you off properly. I also prepared a gift for you, but this time you came suddenly, and I didn't bring it. β
"Yes, yes, I have something for you. That, Lingling, why don't you give me the address and I'll send it to you? β
β¦β¦
The system is already stupid: [This, this...... According to the original plot, you should try your best to prove that Ye Jingchi loves you very much, but you were seen through by your colleagues and ridiculed. γ
Ruan Ling calmly accepted the favor of everyone, and responded to the system by the way: "How can the money come from the ethereal thing of love?" β
Looking at Ruan Ling, who was casually responding to everyone while picking up vegetables, Qin Yue was so angry that his teeth itched.
This party was his treat, and he should have been the protagonist. However, as soon as Ruan Ling appeared, he was instantly put aside.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have called Ruan Ling over at all!
No, who knows what is going on with this Ruan Ling. It's just a pig's nose sticking green onions, pretending to be an elephant!
Thinking so, Qin Yue struggled to find a gap where no one was talking, and interjected, "Ruan Ling, are you here alone today?" I heard that you just got married, when will you have the opportunity, let's see which man is so lucky? β
Qin Yue's idea is that rich people pay attention to the right people. Even if someone among them is really willing to marry Ruan Ling home, he will definitely not be a young son.
It is estimated that he is a local boss who is more than half a hundred years old, greedy for beauty, and has no sincerity towards Ruan Ling. When he asked like this, how could he frustrate Ruan Ling's arrogance.
And all the people chimed in, each with their own hearts.
"Yes, Lingling, do you have any photos for us to see?"
"Why don't you make a video? We are also your mother's family, and we happen to know each other well. β
"Yes, yes, this is good, make a video!"
The system also seemed to cooperate with these people, and then issued a task: [You need to call Ye Jingchi in front of your colleagues, and keep the call for at least three minutes after the other party answers. γ
