Ye Wanqing's tone was firm. Ji Xiao wanted to say something else, but a car behind him honked its horn. Gu Mo stuck his head out of the car window: "What are you doing here? Get in the car!"
Seeing it was him, Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and got into the driver's seat.
Ji Xiao turned the car around and Gu Mo's car had already driven far away.
"Why is he here again?"
Gu Mo frowned. Ji Xiao's public refusal to marry that night had been a hot topic in the past few days. Ye Wanqing was so tired that she leaned against the car window and rubbed her brows and said, "We happened to meet each other and just said a few words."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Gu Mo didn't ask any more questions and drove quietly. After a while, Ye Wanqing realized that he wasn't taking her home and asked in confusion: "Where are you taking me?"
"Didn't Master Gu ask me to take you to the charity dinner? Don't you know?"
"...Oh, I almost forgot."
Ye Wanqing responded dully, but she didn't expect that Gu Jinyuan could still remember to ask someone to pick her up for the dinner.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Mr. Gu?"
"fine."
Ye Wanqing smiled and shook her head. Gu Mo simply stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road. He turned to look at her: "Do I want to give you a mirror to see how lost you look now?"
Ye Wanqing was startled, then looked away and looked out the window.
"So I look so embarrassed now..." She felt sad, and then she begged in a low voice: "Can you please leave me alone for a while?"
Gu Mo didn't say anything, opened the door and got out of the car, and walked to the green belt aside to smoke.
Ye Wanqing looked at his back, her eyes began to heat up uncontrollably.
How pitiful!
In this transaction, she couldn't control the beginning, and she couldn't control the end. Even the grievances and sorrows could only be swallowed alone without anyone seeing it.
After smoking two cigarettes, Gu Mo couldn't help but come back. He opened the car door and was about to speak when he saw Ye Wanqing sitting there upright. Although her expression was dull, her eyes were brighter than before.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
She bent her eyes and thanked her softly. For some reason, the word "senior brother" sounded as soft as a ball of cotton in his ears. His mind was stunned and the words that came to his lips were completely forgotten.
"Is it going to be fine so soon?"
"Um."
Ye Wanqing nodded.
There are still many things that she needs to do, and there is still a long way to go. She cannot just stay here and stand still.
"I don't know who you follow with your stubborn temper."
Gu Mo muttered, restarted the car, and took Ye Wanqing to the dinner venue.
Unexpectedly, tonight's dinner seems to be quite grand. There are many luxury cars blocked outside the hotel, and there is even a red carpet.
"I'll park the car in a moment, and you can enter first."
"good!"
As he finished speaking, his hands clenched into fists nervously, feeling slightly hot.
This was the first time she walked on the red carpet since she joined the industry. Originally, she didn't feel nervous with Gu Jinyuan accompanying her, but now that she thought of having to face so many cameras alone, her heart beat a little faster.
The car moved forward, and soon it was her turn.
Sitting in the car, I took two deep breaths and opened the door. The flashing lights outside immediately flashed non-stop. When the reporter was about to ask a question, he found an unfamiliar face.
Ye Wanqing got off the station and stood firm, straightened her head and back under the suspicious gazes of the media, showed a well-placed smile, and walked forward confidently.
She walked neither too fast nor too slowly, and her posture was adjusted to the best state. The navy blue cheongsam perfectly outlined the curves of her body. She was so beautiful!
Her temperament is light and elegant, just like a beautiful lady stepping out of an oil painting.
At the end of the red carpet was a large poster, which was the public welfare short film she had participated in filming before.
There were many signatures on it, but without deliberately looking for it, Ye Wanqing still found Gu Jinyuan's among the unique signatures. Next to his signature, there was a string of beautiful words: Qiao Xiaoyou!
No wonder!
Ye Wanqing sighed in her heart, opened the marker, found a blank space at random, and wrote her name.
After signing, the host looked at her awkwardly, as if he didn't know how to introduce her. Ye Wanqing smiled slightly and turned around to enter without stopping too much.
The host was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses and continued to host calmly: "Everyone, the person coming to us now is Lin Yao, a new generation actress who has appeared in..."
The host's voice was left behind and could not be heard clearly, and Ye Wanqing walked into the party venue.
The lights inside the venue were very dim, and Ye Wanqing did not rush in. Instead, she stood at the door and waited for Gu Mo to come find her.
This kind of dinner party has been arranged in advance. Blindly searching for someone might bump into someone, so it would be safer to wait for Gu Mo to take her there.
The party was about to start soon, and the venue began to play warm-up music. The music was healing and soothing. Ye Wanqing relaxed her body and walked to the corner. The MV was simultaneously played on the large LED screen in the venue.
A clean and clear girl appeared on the screen. She had very beautiful long hair, which was combed casually behind her head. She was wearing a simple white shirt and a knee-length skirt, and her slender hands were holding chalk on the blackboard. Write three words about Juanxiu: Qiao Xiaoyou.
Then the camera turned and focused on dozens of pairs of dark, clean eyes.
This is a short documentary about Qiao Xiaoyou going to a mountain village to support education. In the documentary, the children in her mountain village eat and live together, and are enthusiastically loved by these children.
After the short film was played, the singing continued, and the venue burst into warm applause. The fans sitting at the back screamed wildly, calling for the goddess loudly.
Qiao Xiaoyou, the national goddess who was single-handedly promoted by Gu Jinyuan five years ago. Since her debut, both her acting skills and the roles she chose have captured the hearts of the audience. Last year, she even went international.
In the second half of last year, she gradually rejected some TV scripts and rarely appeared in front of the camera. Today, this short film tells the audience what she has been doing for the past six months.
As an artist who has zero scandals in her debut, has a perfect personality, is also caring, and dares to establish herself, is there any reason not to like her?
Ye Wanqing thought in her heart, Gu Mo finally ran in panting.
"There are too many cars. It's a little delayed. Let's go."
Gu Mo explained, Ye Wanqing smiled, took his arm and sat down at the table.
As soon as he sat down, all the lights in the hall were turned off, and a beam of light hit the table at the front. Qiao Xiaoyou stood up and smiled at everyone.
She was wearing a sky blue tube top dress. The skirt had no special design, but it just outlined her perfect figure, yet looked casual and elegant.
She was originally white, but the light hitting her made her look even more like a luminous body.
gorgeous!
Ye Wanqing sighed secretly, feeling very peaceful. Then she saw Gu Jinyuan also stood up, and very gentlemanly let Qiao Xiaoyou take his arm and walk towards the stage.
There were gasps from the audience, and dense discussions poured into Ye Wanqing's ears. Of course, most of them were happy to see Gu Jinyuan and Qiao Xiaoyou get together.
After all, there is no more reasonable reason than this for a man to spend such a huge price to bring a woman to the spotlight.
Gu Jinyuan and Qiao Xiaoyou stood on the stage, with the light shining on them, while Ye Wanqing sat in the corner, hidden in the darkness, as if they were in two different worlds.
Of course, they are indeed two worlds.
Ye Wanqing told herself in her heart, her eyes becoming calmer.
Perhaps only by recognizing reality for the first time in this way can we more completely cut off unrealistic illusions.
