While Jiang Yao and Li Junwei were standing talking, many eyes were cast towards them.
Today's reception was hosted by the Wang family. Everyone who came to the reception knew that the Wang family and the Li family were about to get married. Now that Li Junwei openly brought his female companion to the reception, it did not give Wang Simin face, so everyone was guessing privately. Is there something wrong with the marriage between the two families?
On Wang Simin's side, several best friends were surrounding her, also gossiping about this matter.
"Simin, what's going on between you and Mr. Li?" Best friend Shao Meiqi glanced at Li Junwei, who was talking to a woman not far away, and turned to look at her friend worriedly.
Shao Meiqi is the daughter of the Shaw family and the eldest daughter of Shaw Brothers Films. She graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Music. After returning to Hong Kong, she debuted in her own company. She originally wanted to be a singer, so she specially found a well-known foreign music producer to create a tailor-made photo album. The music album received a mediocre response from the market, and the only record I sold was because of the support of my friends around me, so now I simply started to take the movie star route, playing supporting roles in Shaw Brothers movies, to gain some familiarity first.
Shao Meiqi and Wang Simin have been best friends since childhood, and they have a close relationship.
Wang Simin took a sip of red wine, with a smile on her face, and said lightly: "We are fine, nothing happened. Don't make random guesses, the girl's name is Jiang Yao, she is just a friend of Jun Wei."
Li Junwei didn't actually explain his relationship with Jiang Yao just now, but women all care about face, so Wang Simin could only define their relationship with her best friend in this way.
Shao Meiqi could tell at a glance that her friend was forcing a smile: "What's wrong? Don't lie to yourself. Today is obviously a cocktail party hosted by you. Li Junwei brought a female companion over, and the two of them kept chatting, leaving you alone. , doesn’t this make it clear that it doesn’t give you face?”
Friend Zhu Dingxin said: "That's right, and that woman doesn't look like a serious person at first glance. She looks like a vixen, something like Jiang Yao or Yao. I haven't heard of any famous lady with this name. I'm afraid she is not their emperor." Are you the new receptionist at Ting Night Club?"
"Also, you didn't see it. She has been firing at Young Master Li just now. Please be more careful. Don't look back and your fiancé will be snatched away by others. You will have no place to cry."
Shao Meiqi nodded and agreed deeply. Although she didn't see the other party firing at Li Junwei, she still felt that the other party was a big threat. After all, she was so good-looking. She had seen so many actresses on the set every day, and none of them could compare to her. Pass that Jiang Yao.
Wang Simin already felt uncomfortable, but when her two best friends said this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"Hey, that woman has gone to the bathroom. Let's go meet her." Shao Meiqi had been paying attention to the situation at Li Junwei's side. When she saw Jiang Yao leaving alone, she pulled a best friend and walked towards the bathroom.
In the restroom.
Jiang Yao came out of the bathroom and was standing in front of the sink washing her hands carefully. When she turned off the faucet and looked up at the mirror in front of her, she found several figures behind her, one of which was Wang Simin.
Their eyes met in the mirror.
"Ms. Wang." Jiang Yao took out a tissue from the tissue box next to her and wiped her hands before saying hello to Wang Simin first.
Wang Simin nodded towards her. At such a close distance, she could see Jiang Yao's face more clearly. Even though she was naked and without any jewelry, she was so dazzlingly beautiful that people could see her presence at a glance. .
The key point is that her skin is as white as snow milk, and the whole bathroom seems to be illuminated.
Shao Meiqi and Zhu Dingxin also stared blankly at the woman in front of them.
Just now, from a distance, I thought the other person was a vixen. But when I looked closer, I saw that he was indeed an out-and-out temptress, something that would set off alarm bells in any woman's eyes.
Originally, he wanted to meet Jiang Yao, but subconsciously he regarded her as the biggest threat.
Zhu Dingxin came back to her senses and didn't forget that they came here to investigate for their friends, so she raised her chin at Jiang Yao and said in a threatening tone:
"Miss Jiang just came to the imperial court not long ago, right? She can accompany the boss to the reception so quickly. She has climbed up quite quickly. But work is work. Miss Jiang should not get too involved in the drama. Young Master Li is our Simin's fiancé. He can rob others. Things like fiance usually end badly."
Compared with Zhu Dingxin's threatening method, Shao Meiqi took the more gentle route. She said to Jiang Yao:
"Simin is the daughter-in-law chosen by the Li family. You can't get into the position with Master Li. You can only be a mistress. I think you are quite good-looking. What's so good about being a publicist in the imperial court? I can recommend you to go to Shaw Brothers If you make a movie and become famous, you will be able to marry more wealthy young people, and then you can also marry into a wealthy family and become a young lady."
As soon as she heard what the two said, Jiang Yao knew that Wang Simin was indeed stimulated tonight, otherwise she would not have forced her friends to come and speak harsh words to her.
Jiang Yao didn't want to mess with three women for Li Junwei. She explained frankly: "I think some of you have misunderstood. I am accompanying Mr. Li to the reception, but firstly, I am not the public relations officer of the imperial court, and secondly, I have no improper relationship with him." , I had no choice but to come here because I owed him a favor."
But obviously, her explanation was too pale compared to her face. Wang Simin and others didn't believe it in their hearts, and they still looked at her with some hostility.
Jiang Yao didn't want to waste time arguing with women, so she simply said to Wang Simin openly: "Miss Wang, can I talk to you alone?"
Before Wang Simin spoke, Zhu Dingxin shouted: "Don't even think about bullying Simin in private. Is there anything you can't say in front of us?"
Shao Meiqi also stood up to protect Wang Simin.
Wang Simin said: "Miss Jiang, they are my very good best friends. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"It's about Mr. Li's privacy. It's better to talk to Miss Wang alone." Jiang Yao wants to persuade Wang Simin to give up the engagement. If there are two more troublemakers here, it may cause bad things. She must talk to Wang Simin alone.
Hearing that it was private, Wang Simin hesitated, turned around and whispered to her two best friends: "You guys should stay away for a while. Don't worry, I'm not someone who will suffer."
Hearing what she said, Zhu Dingxin and Shao Meiqi had no choice but to leave first.
Jiang Yao looked around. The door to the bathroom was not the place to talk. "Miss Wang, can we go to the room to talk? What I told you is not allowed to be known to others."
Wang Simin nodded and took Jiang Yao directly to the bedroom upstairs.
Wang Simin walked in front, pushed in first, turned to Jiang Yao and said: "Come in, it's safe here, there is no one else, you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped."
Jiang Yao followed her in.
This is a suite, with the master bedroom inside and a small living room outside, with a semicircle surrounded by an arc-shaped sofa.
Wang Simin motioned Jiang Yao to sit down: "Tell me, what do you want to tell me about Jun Wei?"
Jiang Yao coughed twice, put on a serious expression, and looked at her: "Miss Wang, how much do you love Mr. Li? On a scale of 10, how much do you love him?"
A trace of astonishment flashed in Wang Simin's eyes: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yao explained: "Let's put it this way, if you can't marry Mr. Li, will you die? If you can't live without him, then even if you have 10 points of affection for him."
Wang Simin thought for a while, if she couldn't be with Li Junwei, ending her life wouldn't be a bad thing, at most it would be an uncomfortable death.
She shook her head, "That's less than 10, maybe 8 or 9 points."
Jiang Yao was relieved if it wasn't 10 points. She took out a palm-sized cassette player and said, "Then listen to this first."
After pressing the switch, Jiang Yao's earnest voice came out from the machine. It was exactly what she and Li Junwei had just talked about privately at the reception:
"Ms. Wang is one of the best from a wealthy family. She must be good-looking, capable, and treat people so well. Which socialite in Xiangjiang can compare with her? The key point is that Miss Wang has a soft spot for you. Such a good wife cannot be matched by others. I can't find it even with a lantern, so what are you dissatisfied about..."
Putting it here, Jiang Yao turned off the cassette and the sound suddenly stopped.
Wang Simin naturally heard her voice and looked at her a little surprised, obviously not expecting that she thought so highly of herself in private.
Jiang Yao said: "Miss Wang, can you believe that I have no interest in your fiancé at all? I even want to match you up, but just listen."
Wang Simin nodded, thinking about the words behind the cassette, "Hurry up and play it."
She wanted to know what Li Junwei was dissatisfied with her about.
Jiang Yao didn't give in, and pressed the switch again, and a sentence popped out: "You don't feel that such a beautiful woman is your wife, are you a man or not..."
This is still Jiang Yao's voice.
But what followed was Li Junwei's slightly suppressed voice: "...I am indeed not a man. I had an accident in a fight before, so I can have fun with her, but getting married will harm her."
Then it switched to Jiang Yao's voice: "So you deliberately brought me to the reception tonight just to make her give up marrying you?"
Li Junwei: "Yeah."
Then the cassette went silent.
Wang Simin's eyes widened in disbelief, and her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning——
Li Junwei is not good at that and cannot be humane, so he doesn't want to get engaged to her?
She looked at the cassette player in Jiang Yao's hand, then at her, but didn't say a word for a long time. Never thought it would be this reason.
Jiang Yao nodded hard, with a good expression, just as you thought: "Now you understand, Mr. Li has nothing to do with me, he just used me to persuade you to quit. A man's dignity is too great, you can't Let him tell you in person that the reason why he can't marry you is because he's not good at that, right? That would be so embarrassing, you might as well kill him."
"My recording is indeed wrong, but as a woman I can understand your mood. The man you have always liked is not willing to marry you, and he is dragging other women around in front of you. You will definitely not be able to let it go, and you will get into trouble every day. I was wondering why he chose someone else but not you, so I secretly recorded it to give you the truth."
"Yes, Li Junwei has a good skin, but it's useless! If you sleep with him every day, what's the difference between sleeping with him and sleeping with a human figure?"
"Besides, you can only tacitly agree with him that he can't be humane. If you say it, you won't despise him. If he thinks you sympathize with him, he may turn around and leave you. If you don't say it, he will use it every day. This is a punishment for him to make you angry and bring different women in front of your eyes, but you are the one who will respond."
"So, since you won't die without him, it's better to let go."
