For Zhang Siming's engagement banquet, most people in the circle were invited.

Although Ji Qiang doesn't often appear in the second-generation circle, she still received an invitation due to her parents' relationship.

Both Ji Qiang's parents are busy, only Ji Qiang is barely free.But when Ji Qiang thought that Zhang Siming had bullied Cen Ruo, she became very angry and refused to attend.She even called Chen Xingzhi to tell Chen Xingzhi not to go.

After Chen Xingzhi received the call, he was silent for five seconds before he said, "Cen Ruo will be there, so why don't you go?"

Ji Qiang was categorical: "Don't go! Auntie, you don't want to go either, don't give him this face, hum!"

Chen Xingzhi didn't continue to entangle with Ji Qiang about whether he should go or not, but said: "Then what if Cen Ruo is bullied at the banquet and no one will help her?"

In dealing with Ji Qiang, Chen Xingzhi has rich experience and is much wiser than Cen Ruo.

Ji Qiang was awakened, and suddenly realized: "Then you go, aunt! You must go! If Cen Ruo is bullied, you must tell me, and I will stand up for her!"

Chen Xingzhi: "Yes."

The changes that Cen Ruo brought to Ji Qiang are really great.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and when Chen Xingzhi was about to hang up, Ji Qiang spoke again.

"Hey, auntie," Ji Qiang's voice was muffled, like cotton soaked in lemonade all night, with boundless frustration: "Will Xu Ansheng go too?"

Chen Xingzhi paused and said, "...I don't know."

Ji Qiang said, "Don't you have a good relationship with Xu Ansheng? How could you not know?"

Chen Xingzhi said: "I haven't contacted her for a long time."

After that night, Chen Xingzhi unilaterally cut off contact with Xu Ansheng.Even though Xu Ansheng tried every means, he couldn't break through her secretary's line of defense.

Until now, Chen Xingzhi didn't know how Xu Ansheng would feel now.Angry, or have given up?she does not know.

——Until Zhang Siming's engagement banquet.

Cen Ruo didn't bring any companions, so he attended alone.

After arriving at the scene, a waiter came over and said, "Is this Miss Cen? Miss Xue invites you to come over."

Here comes it.

Cen Ruo paused, with a polite and distant smile on his face, and said, "Okay."

The waiter took Cen Ruo to a certain room upstairs, which seemed to be used by the host's family for rest or preparation.

The room was huge, but it was empty inside, only one person was there.

Xue Jiani was dressed up, and when she saw Cen Ruo appearing, she stood up and walked towards Cen Ruo, and said with a smile, "Editor Cen, hello. I've always wanted to meet you, but I couldn't find the opportunity. I didn't expect that on such an occasion, it would come true. gone."

"Ms. Xue, hello. I wish you a happy engagement. You look beautiful in your dress." Cen Ruo greeted.

She thought that Xue Jiani called her here to show off.But Xue Jiani's attitude was calm, and her tone even had a hint of intimacy, which made her a little unpredictable about the other party's intentions.

Didn't he come to find fault?

Cen Ruo took the initiative to mention what happened last time: "Miss Xue, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. Our company's venue is very stuck. Once the scheduled time is over, we can't continue shooting. As a last resort, I changed to a personal shooter for the record. This It was my mistake, and it was not my wish to bring you trouble."

Cen Ruo kept her posture very low, after all, she was restrained and had to give in.

And she actually doesn't care much about the face... In the end, interests are more important.

After she finished speaking, Xue Jiani said: "The main responsibility is still on me. At that time, it was an emergency. Siming's parents invited me to dinner temporarily and asked me to decide on the wedding dress. Master Anne will return to England that day. I really have no choice but to coordinate..."

Xue Jia Ni blinked at Cen Ruo, and said with a wry smile, "Editor Cen should know the hardships of women like us. My job is not worth mentioning to the Zhang family. How can I have the confidence to reject Siming's parents?"

This is the truth, with Fang Xiuwen's example before, Cen Ruo can easily understand Xue Jiani's involuntary.

Xue Jiani said: "From my personal point of view, I really admire the editor-in-chief Cen. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to refuse Mr. Fang."

When she said this, her tone and expression were very sincere.This made Cen Ruo believe that what the other party said was the truth.

And Xue Jiani failed to reject Zhang Siming, which made this passage sound more true.

Cen Ruo said: "Miss Xue can find true love and a lifelong destination, which makes me very envious."

"True love...heh..." Xue Jiani showed a sneer expression, but he couldn't really say anything.She paused and said, "Siming has caused some troubles to editor-in-chief Cen. I've been busy with my engagement recently, and I just found out about it. I'm really sorry. If possible, I will mention this to Siming." As for whether he will listen or not, it is not something I can decide."

Cen Ruo said: "Miss Xue has such a heart, I am very grateful. Women like us can only be considerate and support each other for a while."

The two women looked at each other for two seconds, showing smiles that only each other could understand.

Cen Ruo knew that since Xue Jiani would talk to him like this, he must have something to ask for.It's as if she came here this time to convince Zhang Siming not to chase after her.

His intentions are obvious, so what about Xue Jiani?What else does Xue Jiani want from her?

Cen Ruo was very curious about this, so he brought up the topic on his own initiative.

Xue Jiani smiled and said: "In the next two years, I will fade out of the modeling circle and wait for pregnancy at home. But catwalks are my dream. If I have the opportunity, I still hope to return to the catwalk. Besides, the world is unpredictable, who knows the future What's going to happen? So—"

Xue Jiani didn't finish speaking, but Cen Ruo already understood what she meant.

Xue Jiani didn't dare to hang her life on Zhang Siming's invisible and intangible favor, so she wanted to find a way out for herself.

In case Zhang's family fell into ruin, or she divorced Zhang Siming, she still hoped to stay in the circle.

Zhang Siming had just educated Cen Ruo, and now is the best time for Zao'er.In addition, Cen Ruo's work ability is obvious to all, and it will definitely get better and better in a few years, so Xue Jiani approached Cen Ruo.

Cen Ruo smiled and said, "We are already friends, aren't we?"

Xue Jiani smiled.

It's easy to talk to smart people. One look and one hint can form a successful alliance.

Cen Ruo didn't mention Xue Jiani's manager's arrogant attitude, nor did he mention that Zhang Siming targeted him because of the rumor that Xue Jiani was acting like a baby behind Xue Jiani's back; The fact that the little-known little idol topped the silver ten cover and lost face...

For them, these are tolerable things.After all, the future is more important.

The so-called "stay a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future".

They chatted for a few minutes and were able to call each other by name.

After a while, Xue Jiani said with a sigh: "Cen Ruo, you shouldn't reject Fang Xiuwen."

Xue Jiani had just said that he admired Cen Ruo's courage, so he shouldn't have sighed at this moment.

But this sigh made Cen Ruo feel that Xue Jiani did have some sincerity in this alliance.

Cen Ruo smiled, but didn't speak.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.Zhang Siming came in from the outside, raised his eyebrows when he saw Cen Ruo, and said, "Who is this?"

Xue Jiani said: "It's the editor-in-chief of "D-line", the editor-in-chief Cen Ruocen. You know, I had some misunderstandings with her earlier, but it has been resolved now."

Zhang Siming looked away and said indifferently, "Oh."

"I saw Xu Ansheng outside earlier, Miss Cen, she seems to be looking for you." Zhang Siming said casually.

Cen Ruo left with an excuse.

When she turned around to close the door, she saw that Zhang Siming's hand had reached into Xue Jiani's skirt.Xue Jiani showed an uncomfortable expression, but she couldn't refuse, she just whispered coquettishly: "Don't..."

Cen Ruo had no expression on his face, and closed the door quietly.

She will not judge Xue Jianing's choice, because that could be her future.

Cen Ruo lowered his eyes and went downstairs at his normal pace, no one could see anything unusual.

It is not so easy to find a person at a banquet where there is a lot of drinking and drinking.

Cen Ruo walked half a circle in the hall, and finally saw Xu Ansheng.

But beside Xu Ansheng, there was another figure that she did not expect.

Fang Xiuwen.

Fang Xiuwen saw him through the crowd, raised his red wine glass and smiled.

Cen Ruo's face changed slightly, and he walked up to Xu Ansheng, and first said hello: "Mr. Fang, good evening. An Sheng, you are here."

Fu asked again: "Why are you two together?"

Fang Xiuwen and Xu Ansheng wore dresses with similar colors and textures, and many small details echoed each other, so it was obvious at a glance that they were couple suits.It is not a coincidence that Fang Xiuwen and Xu Ansheng are standing together.

It's just that Cen Ruo couldn't think of it, how could these two people get together?

Fang Xiuwen raised his eyebrows and said, "What? After the 'breakup', you still want to prevent your ex-boyfriend from finding another new love? Ms. Cen might as well be more generous."

Obviously not this problem.Cen Ruo looked at Xu Ansheng, and asked with his eyes: You clearly know what's going on with Fang Xiuwen and me, why do you still...

Seeing her doubts, Xu Ansheng took the initiative to answer: "Chen Xingzhi introduced Fang Xiuwen to me and asked me to go on a blind date with him. I think Fang Xiuwen is good, so I will try it first. I don't know if Chen Xingzhi will be satisfied."

Fang Xiuwen's sexuality was well hidden, except for Cen Ruo and Xu Ansheng, almost no one in the circle knew about it.

This is also the reason why Fang Xiuwen was willing to cooperate with Cen Ruo before: if there were too many insiders, there would be no need for this fake marriage drama to continue.

For Fang Xiuwen, the more people who know, the more danger of exposure.Xu Ansheng already knew about it and was one of the best candidates.

As for Xu Ansheng, her considerations were Xu Guoqiang and Chen Xingzhi.Finding such a physical marriage partner can deal with two people at the same time, and she doesn't have the worries of Cen Ruo, so she thinks it is acceptable.

After meeting on a blind date, the two hit it off and there was a scene before them.

Cen Ruo's mood was very complicated, because she never dreamed that Xu Ansheng would cooperate with Fang Xiuwen.

When he made a deal with Fang Xiuwen before, Xu Ansheng reminded himself to pay attention all the time, because "Fang Xiuwen is not as kind as he appears on the surface".

Cen Ruo looked at these two people for a long time and found it ridiculous, but he didn't know where to refute.

Maybe everyone will encounter their own catastrophe and go the same wrong way.

At this moment, Chen Xingzhi appeared in Cen Ruo's vision.

After Chen Xingzhi saw Cen Ruo, he wanted to come over.But after seeing Xu Ansheng and Fang Xiuwen, he paused and turned around, as if he wanted to pretend he didn't see them.

Chen Xingzhi looking for me?What did she ask me for?

This doubt briefly crossed his mind, and Cen Ruo stopped Chen Xingzhi.

Chen Xingzhi had no choice but to turn around.

The moment Chen Xingzhi turned around, the expression on Xu Ansheng's face quickly sank.

It didn't matter that Chen Xingzhi avoided her and pushed Fang Xiuwen to her.

Xu Ansheng was able to maintain a decent smile in front of Cen Ruo, and "firmly" said that this was the most suitable choice, but the moment she saw Chen Xingzhi, she was still angry.

I've slept through it all, and Chen Xingzhi doesn't want to take responsibility?

Xu Ansheng said: "You guys talk first, I'll talk to Aunt Chen for a few words."

Fang Xiuwen didn't know about the love-hate entanglement between Chen Xingzhi and Xu Ansheng, but felt that the scene in front of him was very interesting.

Fang Xiuwen looked at Xu Ansheng's back, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Do you think I'm very pitiful?"
