Ruan Ling asked the system: [Why did I break up with this actor at that time? 】
System: [The exact reason is unclear, and is not described in detail in the book.] But one thing is for sure, it was the other party who took the initiative to break up. 】
Ruan Ling: "Huh? Why? ”
[Because in the plot of the original book, your emotional demands have not been met after marriage, and later you met your ex-boyfriend at a dinner party. So you take the initiative to bring up the past with your ex-boyfriend, but the other party rejects you on the same grounds as when you broke up. 】
Ruan Ling: "What reason?" ”
[I don't think I'm worthy of you, so I want to separate from you and work hard for my career development.] 】
Ruan Ling blinked.
This reason has the flavor of "the first sword on the shore, and the first person to behead".
Ruan Ling was suddenly curious about one thing: "If that's the case, then why didn't you send me a task?" Let me go to this ex-boyfriend. ”
Doesn't the system release the same main quest for her to complete what the characters in the original book did before?
The system is sad and indignant: [Originally! It was released just after the end of the performance session. But I just went to see it and it was gone, probably because he came to you on his own initiative. 】
……
Ruan Ling's question, and her bland expression with a hint of confusion, made Xu Chenyan stunned for a few seconds.
He thought that Ruan Ling would at least be reminded of his past feelings.
After all, the two have only been separated for less than a year, and it was he who took the initiative to break up.
When he was first with Ruan Ling, Xu Chenyan thought that the other party was the daughter of a wealthy family.
Later, he found out that Ruan Ling's monthly living expenses were not as high as the cost he spent after becoming an actor.
So when a female executive of the company expressed interest to him, he immediately told them that he was single.
He still remembered that at that time, Ruan Ling had tears in his eyes and asked if there was any possibility between the two.
And for the sake of his own future, he resolutely rejected her.
Xu Chenyan is an actor after all.
The stoic smile on his face froze and returned to his naturalness.
Xu Chenyan said bitterly: "After that day, I thought we would never meet again. After all...... You're not an insider, unlike me. ”
Ruan Ling's eyebrows raised slightly, and calmly pointed out the problem with this sentence: "Then you may have ignored a fact. ”
Xu Chenyan was stunned: "What? ”
Ruan Ling said reasonably: "Although I won't be your colleague, I may become your boss." Look, I'll be watching you perform in the audience for a while. ”
Xu Chenyan: "......"
It seems that he was suddenly stabbed.
However, Ruan Ling's expression was serious, as if he was simply pointing out a fact.
Xu Chenyan felt that he might have thought too much, and the other party had always been simple, or ...... A bit silly and stubborn.
Perhaps, she was just hinting that there was still hope for them.
Xu Chenyan pulled the corners of his mouth hard: "You're right, aren't we going to meet again?" ”
Taking a silent breath, Xu Chenyan showed a concerned look: "Lingling, after we separated, did you have a better life?" ”
Xu Chenyan didn't know what Ruan Ling was doing
What identity appears on this occasion.
It's just that seeing Ruan Ling's rich dress, he vaguely guessed something.
took the initiative to talk to Ruan Ling, also out of this consideration.
If Ruan Ling still remembered the old relationship between the two, maybe he could still get some benefits from her.
As soon as Xu Chenyan's words fell, Ruan Ling glanced at him like a fool.
She straightened her seven-figure gown, and the diamond pendant the size of a pigeon's egg swayed around her neck.
The answer is self-explanatory.
Ruan Ling: "What do you say?" ”
Xu Chenyan: "......"
The corners of the man's mouth couldn't help twitching, and the expression full of concern on his face could barely be maintained.
Someone next to him let out a low laugh.
The sound of the microphone on the other side of the stage was paused for a few seconds, and the sneer was a little obvious.
Xu Chenyan looked at the person who was laughing and saw that it was a teenager.
The person who can appear on this occasion, even if it is just a child, cannot be underestimated, who knows which big guy is backing.
So Xu Chenyan just glanced at the young man warningly, to show that he heard it, and hoped that the other party could stop in moderation.
Then, Xu Chenyan looked at Ruan Ling again and smiled bitterly: "Lingling, I know you blame me in your heart." But I broke up with you in the first place, it was really because I had something unspeakable......"
Ruan Ling's face finally showed a look of surprise.
Xu Chenyan was happy in his heart.
Such a reaction shows that she still cares about him-
Ruan Ling looked at Xu Chenyan in surprise: "You have such a thing as a hidden disease, so you don't need to inform me, right?" ”
Xu Chenyan: "? ”
After being stunned, he gritted his teeth: "I didn't ......"
Ruan Ling looked at Xu Chenyan with pity in his eyes, and said seriously: "Although you don't need to tell me, you should still tell the doctor, and you can't hide from the doctor." ”
Xu Chenyan's facial muscles were distorted: "I really don't have ......"
Ruan Ling glanced at him meaningfully: "Don't say it, I understand." ”
Xu Chenyan's face was pale: "......"
……
When Ruan Ling returned to Ye Jingchi's side, the host just announced that the dinner had officially begun.
Under the stage are some tables of different sizes, and the organizer arranged a round table for Ye Jingchi.
It seemed like it could sit five or six people, but now there were only three of them.
Ruan Ling sat on a chair facing the stage.
Ye Jingchi looked at Ruan Ling and smiled: "Are you still having fun shopping?" ”
Ruan Lingzheng looked at the stage curiously, and nodded casually when he heard the words: "It's not bad." ”
Ye Jingchi said casually: "Have you met an acquaintance?" ”
Ruan Ling: "Well, there is more than one. ”
Ye Jingchi's voice was low: "Oh? Who are they? ”
Ruan Ling's attention had already been attracted by the waiters next to him, and looking at their actions, it seemed that they were about to be served.
Ye Jingchi's voice was automatically classified by her as a murmur that affected her.
Ruan Ling replied casually: "Su Junruo, and Chen Songyang's family." ”
Xu Chenyan was not an acquaintance in her opinion
, so she didn't say it.
Ye Xu, who was sitting on the other side of Ruan Ling, silently glanced at his father.
Should he say something now?
But......
After hesitating, Ye Xu still chose to remain silent.
Ye Jingchi let out a "hmm".
Ruan Ling listened to the host on the stage.
The host on the stage was introducing the theme of the party, and Ruan Ling didn't wait for the performance to start for a while, a little bored.
She muttered, "When will the show begin?" ”
Ye Jingchi's eyes moved slightly: "You're looking forward to the show?" ”
Ruan Ling said truthfully: "Yes." ”
Singing and dancing is definitely more interesting than the host's speech, and there is another important point -
Ruan Ling: "After the performance starts, you should be able to eat." ”
She had just controlled herself and ate a little dessert to cushion her stomach, and now she was already hungry.
Hearing this, Ye Jingchi's eyebrows moved, and his expression was a little brighter.
Ye Xu: "......"
Sure enough, he was right not to say anything.
……
A few minutes later, the host finally left the stage and a singer came out to sing.
The waiters also served the dishes one after another.
It is worthy of the highest-level wealthy dinner, and these dishes are appetizing just by looking at the appearance.
Ruan Ling couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start tasting the stewed crab roe lion's head closest to him.
Ye Jingchi looked at her with a smile: "If you can't catch it far away, talk to me, or talk to Ye Xu." ”
Ruan Ling nodded unceremoniously: "Okay." ”
She tasted the soup first, and then the whole thing
The expressions on his face were happy.
Ye Xu saw it next to him, and couldn't help but taste his own.
Ruan Ling thought about it for a while, turned his head to Ye Jingchi and said, "If there is a similar banquet like this in the future, you can also call me." ”
After thinking about it, he added: "There must be a main meal to eat." ”
Ye Jingchi smiled: "Okay." ”
Then, Ruan Ling tasted all the other dishes.
Unlike the heavy foods she usually likes to eat, the dishes at this banquet are all light.
But the chef's skill is clearly extraordinary, and the ingredients are so delicious that you will want to swallow your tongue.
Ruan Ling ate very satisfied, enjoying the food while casually enjoying the performance on the stage.
In the middle of the performance, there is a donation link.
The host announced how much money each family had donated to the foundation, and also asked those whose names were mentioned to wave their hands.
However, so far, there has been no mention of the Ye family.
After another round of donations, the figure in a black sequined suit appeared on the stage.
Although Xu Chenyan is an actor, this time he is also standing on the stage and singing.
Ruan Ling didn't know much about the stars in this world, and it was rare to see someone worthy of the name at this time, so his eyes stayed for a while.
Then I heard Ye Jingchi's deep voice: "Is it good?" ”
Ruan Ling replied casually: "Generally, I sing worse than the female singer just now." ”
Then, her chopsticks paused,
glanced at Ye Jingchi suspiciously.
Originally, she didn't think much about it, thinking that Ye Jingchi might just ask casually.
In Ruan Ling's cognition, a capital-level boss like Ye Jingchi must be too lazy to pay special attention to an ordinary actor.
Ruan Ling didn't think that Xu Chenyan had any close connection with him.
After all, "I've been in love for two months" is just a dry sentence in the system here, and it doesn't represent any memories.
But in the previous few shows, Ye Jingchi didn't speak, but when it was time for Xu Chenyan, he asked this.
After Ruan Ling finished answering, she realized that something was wrong.
Ye Jingchi will not be ...... Knowing that this Xu Chenyan is her ex-boyfriend, is she testing her?
Seeing Ruan Ling suddenly staring at him, Ye Jingchi said as if nothing had happened: "What? ”
Ruan Ling: "You are very suspicious. ”
Ye Jingchi calmly asked, "Really?" ”
The man's appearance did not change, but it made Ruan Ling feel even more wrong.
When ordinary people are said to be like this, shouldn't they ask why they are suspicious?
Ruan Ling didn't like to play dumb riddles, she wanted to ask Ye Jingchi directly if she knew something.
However, she still hesitated a little and glanced at Ye Xu.
With her and Ye Jingchi's personalities, the probability of the two of them quarreling is almost zero, but after all, Ye Xu is still around......
Ye Xu just took a bite of rice, hesitated for a second at this time, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”
Then he stood up silently and left.
Ruan Ling: "......"
Should I say it or not, Ye Xu's sensitivity is still very high.
There were only two people left on the table, her and Ye Jingchi.
Under Ruan Ling's scorching gaze, Ye Jingchi finally sighed.
He spoke slowly: "Before we got married, Lao He gave me a piece of information about you. ”
Seeing Ruan Ling raise his eyebrows, Ye Jingchi added: "With the consent of you and your mother." ”
Ruan Ling blinked slowly, accepting this statement.
It's reasonable to think about it, compared with Ye Jingchi, the original owner and her mother are the active but weak side.
Therefore, it is not surprising that they will voluntarily accept Ye Jingchi's "background check".
Ye Jingchi paused, and then said, "That information also includes some of your emotional experiences. ”
In fact, at that time, Ye Jingchi was mainly concerned about the assets under the Zheng family and Ruan Ling's own name.
Regarding Ruan Ling's emotional experience, he only glanced at it a few times, and he didn't even look at the other party's name carefully.
But Ye Jingchi's memory has always been different from ordinary people, although it is not unforgettable, but it is almost the same.
This was the first time Ruan Ling had attended a dinner with him, so after Pei Tezhu sent the list, Ye Jingchi looked at it more carefully than in previous years.
I also found that in the list of performers, there is a name that is somewhat familiar.
Looking back at the previous information, everything speaks for itself.
Ruan Ling kept staring at Ye Jingchi, and found that the man's eyes seemed to flicker as his words fell.
But she wasn't sure if it was because of the crystal chandelier flickering above the ballroom.
leaf
Will a person like Jing Chi also have a weak heart?
Ruan Ling asked coldly: "How is it written in that document?" On the emotional experience column. ”
Her thinking has always been divergent, and after listening to Ye Jingchi's words, she suddenly thought of the resume that she had put a lot of effort into writing when she was looking for a job.
Ruan Ling suddenly began to wonder, how was the information in Ye Jingchi's hand written?
Is it the same as the "educational experience" in her resume, which year to which year, with whom and whom?
Ye Jingchi's eyes kept falling on Ruan Ling's face.
At this time, there seemed to be pure curiosity in her eyes, and there was no sign of anger at all.
Ye Jingchi coughed lightly and explained: "It's not what you think, there is no special emotional column. It's just a page in the profile that lists the people you have had the most contact with. ”
Ruan Ling was a little disappointed: "Oh. ”
If it is really similar to the one in the resume, she still wants Ye Jingchi to show herself, it must be much clearer than what the system says.
The air was quiet for a while, and Ye Jingchi suddenly whispered: "Angry? ”
Ruan Ling glanced at him: "A little." ”
In fact, she didn't have any anger in it, because she didn't have any feelings for Xu Chenyan at all.
But Ye Jingchi knew that her "ex-boyfriend" would come, but he didn't tell her in advance.
Ruan Ling felt that she should still express her dissatisfaction, lest there be similar things in the future, and Ye Jingchi would not tell her.
Ye Jingchi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his chopsticks, sandwiched a small piece of glutinous rice pork ribs, and put it into Ruan Ling's bowl.
There are dishes on the table, and Ruan Ling has just eaten the most of them.
"I'm sorry." Ye Jingchi said slowly: "I didn't tell you in advance, because I'm not sure if you mind mentioning this person, and if you want to meet him." ”
So when he saw the list of performers, he didn't notify the organizer of the change.
Ye Jingchi originally wanted to think that he didn't know.
But when I saw her looking at the stage just now, I couldn't help but ask.
Ruan Ling sighed in her heart, talking to smart people is simple.
Before she could say anything, the other party already knew why she was angry.
After thinking about it, Ruan Ling asked Ye Jingchi: "Then what if I say I want to meet?" ”
Ye Jingchi was silent for a moment: "After the performance, the cast and crew will not leave immediately. If you have ideas, I can get in touch with you. ”
Ruan Ling blinked and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so generous." ”
Even if they were only husband and wife in name, wouldn't Ye Jingchi mind at all?
Ye Jingchi's eyes darkened slightly: "...... No. ”
Ruan Ling was puzzled: "Huh? ”
Ye Jingchi said in a deep voice: "I'm not that generous. ”
Ruan Ling: "Then why are you ......?"
Ye Jingchi: "I just don't want to disappoint you. ”
Ruan Ling: "......"
"Actually." Ruan Ling said, "I have already met with that Xu Chenyan, and we have spoken a few words. ”
A stunned look finally appeared on Ye Jingchi's face.
It just so happened that Ye Xu came back at this time.
Perhaps sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, the young man's footsteps paused, hesitating to find a reason to go elsewhere.
Ruan Ling had already seen Ye Xu with sharp eyes, and added casually: "Ye Xu was also there at that time. ”
Ye Jingchi: "......"
Ye Xu: "......"!
