"Are you listening to me?"
Ling Jing was still absent-minded when Liu Xiyun's voice sounded. This time, there was obvious dissatisfaction. "Let me tell you, it's fine if you don't want to go home, but you have to accompany me to the banquet tonight."
"Mom, I really have something to do."
"I don't care what you're doing. I'll send the address and time to your phone later. You can show up on your own tonight. Did you hear me? "
After Liu Xiyun finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Ling Jing any time to react.
Ling Jing looked at his phone and thought that Su Peizhen would also go to the Tianyu Group's banquet tonight. Now, Liu Xiyun wanted him to go.
What was this? Ling Jing threw his mobile phone aside in annoyance and his face was gloomy.
… …
Su Peizhen had attended many banquets. Except for the last time when he tried to steal Su Qingsang's limelight, which ended in an unexpected failure. She almost never missed.
Standing in the boutique, she came to pick up the dress she ordered a few days ago.
The invitation arrived just in time, giving her a chance to make some alterations to the dress she had ordered. She is on the thin side. It was just that her bust was more impressive than the average woman's.
In order to keep a low profile, she chose a black dress. The neckline design exposed both sides of the shoulders.
The soft muslin began to shrink around her waist until it was too tight to hold. She turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. She was satisfied.
At that moment, the stylist took out a pair of black high heels and placed them in front of her. He looked himself up and down. Not bad, I should be able to control the situation.
By the time Su Peizhen entered the banquet hall, many people had already arrived.
Most of them were unfamiliar faces, and she didn't recognize many of them. She wasn't surprised to see the mayor of Rong City there.
In the past two years, Tianyu Group had really become more and more powerful. Su Qingsang saw her from afar. She handed the baby to the nanny and walked towards her.
Today, as the wife of the president of Tianyu Group, she looked noble and elegant in her blue dress.
She had to admit that Su Qingsang's temperament was getting better and better after marrying Huo Jinyao.
"Peizhen, you're here."
Su Qingsang smiled warmly and said, "There are many guests today. I'm afraid I can't entertain them all. However, there are a few friends I met after coming to Rong City. Can I introduce them to you? I have a companion too? "
"There's no need for that." Su Peizhen shook her head. "You should get back to work. I can take care of myself. "
"Alright then." She knew Su Peizhen's personality very well. There was no point in saying anything more. Su Qingsang said a few more words and left.
Over the past two years, she had been in the industry for a long time, so she was more and more at ease.
Su Peizhen watched quietly for a while before finally withdrawing her gaze. She was just about to find a quiet place to sit down when she saw a noblewoman walking in from afar.
That woman gave her the feeling that she was somewhat familiar.
Su Peizhen was still trying to recall where she had seen her before. That rich lady was greeting people, but for some reason, she was picking people to greet.
Then, she walked to the side and picked a place to sit. Her seat happened to be behind a screen. Su Peizhen was sitting behind him.
The woman's face was indeed familiar, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember who she was.
She seemed to see someone familiar in front of her, and then she heard the voice of the rich lady on the phone.
"A 'Jing. Didn't I tell you to come over? Where are you? "
"You're brave now. You don't take me seriously anymore. I asked you to pick you up, but you said you would come by yourself. Where are you now? "
"What? Something came up and you can't come? What is it? I already told you this morning. "
A 'Jing? Su Peizhen's footsteps stopped there, then she shook her head. How could it be so coincidental? Must it be Ling Jing's Jing?
Maybe it was some other word.
Without thinking much, she turned and left. After she left, the rich lady's temper rose.
"Ling Jing, do you still respect me as your mother?"
..
"Huh? Sister-in-law? "
"Hello, sister-in-law."
The sudden greeting made Su Peizhen stop in her tracks. She looked at the person. It took her some time to remember who the person in front of her was.
Wan Xiuzhe and Lin Nianzhi. Huo Yifan's friends.
At that time, she and Huo Yifan used each other and hung out together. Because Huo Yifan's friends were younger than Huo Yifan, they were very happy to call her sister-in-law.
It was a little ironic. Huo Yifan's status in the Huo family was not low. However, because the people from several big families in Rong City were all on good terms with Huo Jinyao.
Wan Xianyang from the Wan family, Xu Changlong from the Xu family, Tang Mohan from the Tang family, and Cheng Xianyun from the Cheng family.
After the heirs of these big families were decided, they naturally had fun with Huo Jinyao, the appointed heir of the Huo family.
However, who didn't have some shameful things to say?
This Wan Xiuzhe was the illegitimate son of the Wan family. And Lin Nianzhi was the illegitimate son of the Tang family.
Wan Xiuzhe was fine. The Wan family at least gave him a surname and recognized his identity. Lin Nianzhi was still not recognized by the Tang family and still followed his biological mother's surname.
These two and a few others didn't have good backgrounds. They couldn't rely on Huo Jinyao, so they all relied on Huo Yifan.
Wan Xiuzhe and Lin Nianzhi had a good relationship with Huo Yifan back then. Su Peizhen didn't intend to make things difficult for them, but her voice was very cold.
"Don't call me sister-in-law. I'm not your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law's words are too hurtful. Our Brother Fan is thinking about you every day in prison. "
These words were very reasonable. In the past two years, Huo Yifan had been in prison more or less because of her. If she hadn't taken Qi Xiwei's plan, Huo Yifan wouldn't have been sentenced to so long.
However, she said, "I have nothing to do with him now. You don't have to call me sister-in-law. "
After saying this, she was about to leave. However, Wan Xiuzhe blocked in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Brother Fan is about to come out. He'll be released in a few days. Sister-in-law, do you want to come with us to pick him up? "
Huo Yifan was coming out? Didn't he serve a longer sentence than her?
Su Peizhen didn't ask back then, but she vaguely remembered that Huo Yifan's sentence was longer than hers. Was he coming out so soon?
It seemed that Old Master Huo was still too soft-hearted.
"Sister-in-law?"
Wan Xiuzhe wanted to say something, but Su Peizhen didn't want to listen.
"I'll say it again, I'm not your sister-in-law. Secondly, Huo Yifan and I broke up a long time ago. So what happens to him has nothing to do with me. "
She didn't even use the word "break up", because to her, there was no such thing as a so-called break up between her and Huo Yifan.
They had cooperated with each other, and after they finished using each other, they each received the punishment they deserved.
Wan Xiuzhe and Lin Nianzhi looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Su Peizhen to be so heartless.
For Su Peizhen, this was enough.
Because meeting these two people had greatly affected her mood. Not long after, she sat in the corner and listened to the gossip for a while, looking at the various attitudes of the people who came to attend. She was already familiar with these people, so she wasn't unfamiliar with them at all.
But now, she was inexplicably annoyed by what she had enjoyed in the past.
Listening to those women talk about the beautiful jewelry of this store and the beautiful bags of that store, she lost interest for the first time.
She went to say goodbye to Su Qingsang and left. As for the other members of the Huo family, she was no longer interested in seeing them.
Before leaving, she saw from the corner of her eye that the rich lady from before was still on the phone. Occasionally, the whispers of two women who passed by just happened to pour into her ears.
"Did you see that? She gave up being the best actress and ran to be someone else's lover. Now she even openly appeared in front of the public. How shameless. "
"I saw her. Shh. Don't mention it, don't let her hear it. "
"What does it matter if she hears it? She dares to do it, so why should she be afraid of people talking about it? "
Su Peizhen followed their gazes and glanced at the rich lady. It was only then that she remembered who that woman was.
A long time ago, an actress who had won two best actress awards. Her surname seemed to be Liu.
She remembered it because she and Li Qianxue both liked the movie that won the best actress award. Both of them had watched it.
It wasn't until Su Peizhen got into the car that she finally remembered the name of the best actress.
Her name was Liu Xiyun. No wonder she looked familiar. Her every movement was indeed charming, but she didn't expect that she was actually being someone else's lover now.
But what did that have to do with her?
These stars, these people, didn't they come and go like this? Why should she be surprised?
…
When Su Peizhen returned home, she found that Ling Jing wasn't at home.
She frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, Ling Jing said that he wouldn't be working the night shift tonight and would come back early.
Su Peizhen took out her phone and called Ling Jing. The phone rang in the room.
She went in and found that Ling Jing didn't bring his phone.
Where did this guy go?
Su Peizhen thought about it and was about to change her clothes to find Ling Jing when Ling Jing came back.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the gown Su Peizhen was wearing.
Su Peizhen had left in a hurry. It was a little cold outside, but she was too lazy to change. After thinking about it, she decided to go home first.
When Ling Jing saw Su Peizhen, he suddenly couldn't move his eyes away.
The black gown really suited her. It made her look like her skin was creamy and outstanding.
"Where did you go?"
"In the study."
In the study? She had forgotten to go to the study just now.
"What are you doing in the study?"
"Looking for some new cake recipes."
Ling Jing's answer was a little absent-minded. Before Su Peizhen asked again, he had already stepped forward and picked her up.
"You are so beautiful today."
With his arms around her waist, Ling Jing's hand happened to touch Su Peizhen's back after the first compliment. There was a hollow part there, revealing more than half of her waist.
His expression suddenly changed. "You didn't go to the party wearing this today, did you?"
"What else?"
Ling Jing's teeth were a little sore. Looking at Su Peizhen, he couldn't help but bite her collarbone.
"Next time, don't wear such revealing clothes." It was best to wear it at home.
"Ling Jing." Was there something wrong with his eyes? Which part of her clothes was revealing?
But before she could finish her words, Ling Jing had already put her body on the bed.
