It was so hot that she wanted to let go, but she still hooked her arm around his.
She didn’t know what Lu Mingjue meant, but she knew that no matter how bad his intentions were, he was much better than Mr. Chang.
Jin Lan followed Lu Mingjue forward. Actually, she did not know where he was going, but at this moment, she was at ease and bold enough to let him take her anywhere.
It was as if he had promised her something.
When Jin Lan came back to her senses, she realized that Lu Mingjue had brought her back to the opening banquet.
At this moment, after the toasts, the tables were already a little messy. However, this did not reduce the enthusiasm of many people. Everyone was still toasting each other and talking.
Mr. Chang had not left yet. He was surrounded by compliments as he enjoyed everyone’s flattery.
Seeing that Jin Lan had returned and was with Lu Mingjue, many people were a little surprised.
Lu Mingjue brought Jin Lan to Mr. Chang. Jin Lan’s drunkenness instantly dissipated, and she stood up straight.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Chang,” Lu Mingjue greeted the man with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
“Mr. Mingjue!” Mr. Chang immediately sat up straight and instructed the person beside him, “Hurry up and arrange a seat for Mr. Mingjue.
“Mr. Mingjue, please take a seat!”
Someone had already quickly arranged chairs and tidied up the table.
Lu Mingjue didn’t sit down. He was tall to begin with, so he felt even more condescending when he stood.
Mr. Chang hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, “If we had known that you were coming, we would’ve waited for you to drink with us. However, it’s not too late now. Let’s drink a few more gla.s.ses with you! Don’t you like to drink red wine? Come, serve Mr. Mingjue the best red wine! Put it on my tab!”
“That’s not necessary, Mr. Chang.” Lu Mingjue picked up a bottle of liquor from the side and took out two empty gla.s.ses. He filled them up. “My girlfriend is in this production. Please take care of her, Mr. Chang.”
Mr. Chang had already seen Jin Lan come in with her arm hooked around Lu Mingjue’s, so his att.i.tude had been humble.
Now that Lu Mingjue had mentioned it, how could Mr. Chang not know what he meant?
He secretly regretted forcing Jin Lan to drink that gla.s.s of vodka today. He shouldn’t have provoked Lu Mingjue.
Could it be that the information he received previously was wrong?
At the thought of this, he immediately picked up the drink that Lu Mingjue had poured for him and said humbly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Mingjue. I failed to recognize such a formidable figure as yourself. Today, I’ll use this drink to apologize to you. If I did anything wrong, please forgive me. Mr. Mingjue, I’ll drink this first! ”
After saying that, he raised his head and downed all the contents in his gla.s.s.
Lu Mingjue gave him face and finished his drink.
The others also understood that Lu Mingjue came at this time today to give Jin
Lan face.
In the future, everyone would have to be more polite to Jin Lan.
“We’ve already given our greetings, so we won’t accompany you guys anymore. Everyone, enjoy yourselves to the fullest!” With that, Lu Mingjue turned around and left.
Jin Lan followed him out.
She knew in her heart that Mr. Chang’s matter had been resolved.
But her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and they never relaxed.
Lu Mingjue tilted his head to look at her. He saw her worried face. It was as if she was still worried about something. Before he could ask, Jin Lan’s expression suddenly improved. Her smile replaced her previous displeasure. He asked, “What’s with that expression on your face? You’re worried one moment and happy the next.”
“I’m just wondering if I have to rely on you and ‘use’ you to protect myself from people like Mr. Chang in the future. I’ve already done it a few times. What about the future?” Jin Lan said.
Lu Mingjue was also silent for a moment. He rushed over after receiving Qiao Weiyang’s call. He did not understand why he did that either.
Actually, Qiao Weiyang didn’t call him specifically to talk about this. She just mentioned a few things in between.
Perhaps Qiao Weiyang knew him better than he did.
Jin Lan smiled happily and said, “But on second thought, as long as I work hard to seize the opportunity, I’ll definitely become more and more experienced in the future. At that time, as long as I’m irreplaceable, what do I have to be afraid
Infected by her smile, Lu Mingjue also smiled and said, “Then I wish you the best of luck in becoming an irreplaceable person.” “Thank you.” Jin Lan smiled. “I’ll go back, then?”
She turned around and walked away.
“Wait!” Lu Mingjue stopped her.
“Huh?” Jin Lan stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her bright smile looked especially touching under the light.
Lu Mingjue said, “It’s on the way. I’ll drive you.”
Jin Lan pursed her lips and smiled, but she did not expose him. He did not even know where she lived now. How could it be on the way?
When Qiao Weiyang heard that Lu Mingjue had gone to save Jin Lan, she said with gratification, “My effort wasn’t in vain. I specially called Mingjue to remind him about this.”
“He likes someone without knowing it. He’s simply not like anyone from my family.” Su Zhuoqian shook his head.
“Jin Lan did lie to him in the beginning. It’s normal for him to have complicated thoughts,” Qiao Weiyang said softly. “However, Jin Lan also has her difficulties.
It’ll be a good thing if the two of them can talk it out.”
Su Zhuoqian said calmly, “If he can’t even handle this, your efforts will be in vain.”
“However, resolving Jin Lan’s problem this time is equivalent to removing an obstacle for Xu w.a.n.gzhi as well. Chengyu asked Jin Lan to film with Xu w.a.n.gzhi because he knew that there were still many things that had yet to be resolved on Jin Lan’s side. If Mr. Chang causes trouble for Jin Lan, it’ll definitely affect the filming of the entire show. Now that Jin Lan’s problem has been resolved, all the problems will disappear.”
Qiao Weiyang was very satisfied with Lu Mingjue’s actions this time. Although it was his personal relations.h.i.+p, it had also resolved a series of conflicts.
After saying this, Qiao Weiyang suddenly thought of something. “Are you free tomorrow? Come with me to a wedding banquet.”
“Xiao Qing?” Su Zhuoqian asked.
“How did you guess?”
“Other than your best friend, I really can’t think of anyone else’s wedding that would make you so happy and ask me to accompany you for.”
Qiao Weiyang nodded. “It’s Xiao Qing and Shen Mubei. Previously, they went around in circles several times before finally confirming their relations.h.i.+p.
This time, they made sure to have enough time to prepare for their wedding. They’re holding the wedding now that everything is ready. It’s not as rushed as before.’
Su Zhuoqian’s eyebrows darkened as his gaze landed on Qiao Weiyang’s face.
Didn’t he ask her to get married in a hurry?
