"Come in with me."
After Mu Wenhao said something, he strode towards the office.
Ye Ning stood there without making any move.
Meng Jiaorui smiled and gestured to her: "Boss Mu must have something to tell you. If you are worried, I will go in with you."
Now Meng Jiaorui has indeed become somewhat of a hostess.
Ye Ning knew that he actually had no choice.
When the two figures disappeared from everyone's sight, the backstage exploded instantly.
Just now, no one would have thought that Meng Jiaorui would eventually become the mistress of the Red Sea.
Especially Sister Rong, she couldn't understand it.
She could clearly tell that her boss was different about Ye Ning before, so why did she fall in love so quickly?
She felt more and more something was wrong about this matter.
In the office, Ye Ning didn't sit down, and Meng Jiaorui actually didn't sit down either, standing beside her.
Mu Wenhao lit a cigar and started smoking slowly.
There was a trace of impatience on Ye Ning's face. It was already getting late. If it were delayed any longer, it would probably make Gu Feng more suspicious.
But if Mu Wenhao didn't speak, she had no way of knowing what he wanted to do.
When the cigar was halfway through, Mu Wenhao's voice finally sounded.
"The engagement ceremony is at the end of this month, and you have to come over then."
Ye Ning didn't expect that this was what he wanted to say, but his engagement party would definitely gather people from all walks of life in the city. What she said in the past was really inappropriate, and it had no identity or position.
"Boss Mu, I still have work at the end of the month, so I won't pass it by. I won't miss your engagement date."
This is how she can express her sincerity.
Mu Wenhao's eyes narrowed, with a hint of displeasure, "Do you think I would miss you so much in getting engaged?"
The implication was that she had to be there.
"Boss Mu, you also know that my identity is not appropriate to appear in..."
"Your identity? You are Ye Zi, the pillar of my Red Sea. When it comes to identity, you are the most suitable to attend my engagement party." Mu Wenhao interrupted forcefully before Ye Ning could finish what he said.
Ye Ning's heart sank, "You know that I can't reveal my identity to anyone."
"Yes, I know, that's why Meng Jiaorui keeps showing up on your behalf. I've helped you so much, shouldn't you thank me properly?" Mu Wenhao's eyes fell firmly on Ye Ning's face. .
Such a naked threat made Ye Ning angry but speechless.
If it were her before, there would be no need for her to do this, because Mu Wenhao would try his best to prevent her identity from being exposed.
But now, Mu Wenhao has no worries at all.
Whether Meng Jiaorui is Ye Zi or she is, it will not affect this man's interests.
Even once her identity is exposed, the public opinion may make Hong Hai's reputation even higher.
So now her situation is completely passive, even worse than before.
The surrounding air seemed to solidify into particles.
Meng Jiaorui sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and hurriedly advised Ye Ning: "Ye Zi, you are just attending the engagement party. There will definitely be a lot of people there, and no one will notice you. If anyone really asks, you can He said he was my friend. Boss Mu also insists on letting you participate because he values you, so don’t refuse."
Ye Ning sneered: "I really want to refuse, but do I have the right?"
"It's good to know." All Mu Wenhao wants is to achieve the goal, and the process is not important to him at all. And now what he wants is to let Ye Ning attend his engagement party.
Meng Jiaorui was frightened just listening to the conversation between the two, even if she wanted to avoid it.
Lowering his voice, he reminded Ye Ning, "Of course you know Boss Mu's temper better than I do. If you really piss him off, he won't care about any consequences."
This is the biggest difference between Ye Ning and Mu Wenhao.
Even though Ye Ning was capable and scheming, she had too many worries. With scruples comes a weakness, and you can never reach the point where you and Mu Wenhao will suffer a lose-lose situation.
Besides, we are just asking her to attend the engagement party now, not to do anything excessive.
Sure enough, Ye Ning did not continue to refuse this time, "Okay, I will participate."
After saying these words coldly, he turned around and left.
Meng Jiaorui looked at Mu Wenhao with questioning eyes. If Mu Wenhao didn't allow it, Ye Ning couldn't leave yet.
Mu Wenhao had achieved his goal and knew where Ye Ning's bottom line was. It was not easy to force her to compromise.
Meng Jiaorui sighed heavily. She was more afraid than anyone else that they would continue to confront each other.
When Ye Ning walked out of the office, she said cautiously: "Boss, why are you doing this?"
Although she couldn't guess Mu Wenhao's thoughts, she also knew that Mu Wenhao was definitely not really engaged to her. There must be some plan, and this plan must be for Ye Ning.
It really lives up to the saying: When the king of hell fights, the devil will suffer.
She was the little devil who suffered.
Mu Wenhao was not happy because of Ye Ning's compromise, and his sinister eyes fell on Meng Jiaorui.
Almost at the same time, Meng Jiaorui trembled all over and did not dare to say another word.
Mu Wenhao's deep voice seemed to be frozen, "Remember your own identity and do what I tell you. If you mess up my plan, you will end badly."
Meng Jiaorui was so frightened that her breathing stopped, and she could not react at all except nodding.
Ye Ning still parked the car on the roadside some distance away from the family's courtyard, got out of the car and walked towards the family's courtyard.
Facts have proved that her caution was right. When she approached the gate of the family compound, in addition to the guard at the gate, there was also a lonely figure of Gu Feng.
Ye Ning was stunned, wondering why Gu Feng was standing here...waiting for her? !
After a few seconds, he quickened his pace and walked over.
"Gu Feng, why are you here?"
The weather in early spring was still a bit cold at night, and Gu Feng was only wearing thin clothes.
Gu Feng looked at her with calm and deep eyes, "I'm waiting for you."
Ye Ning had already thought about it, but she didn't understand why she was waiting for her here? Isn’t it the same with waiting at home?
At this time, there was still a faint smell of smoke remaining on Gu Feng's body.
"You smoke?"
Ye Ning frowned. In the past nearly a year, she had never seen him smoking.
"I was bored, so I just smoked one. It's cold, so go home."
Gu Feng's attitude was unusual, as if he had returned to their previous appearance.
Ye Ning looked at Gu Feng's back. He didn't look back, and his spine was even more tense.
He sighed quietly, and at the same time prepared himself for the worst...
