On their way back to the banquet hall, William and Du Ruoying first passed Qi Tianshu, and then passed a young man with a press card hanging on his chest.

Obviously, the latter is quietly following the former.

Du Ruoying noticed that the name on the press card was Xu Xun, and the company he belonged to was Xinglang.The cheap suit on his body looks very new, but it has the traces of a side modification. It should not be bought by him himself, but more like it was obtained from someone else.

It seems that his financial situation should be somewhat tight.

This reporter is less than 30 years old. It may not be long since he entered the workplace, but the promotion crisis is imminent. It is no wonder that he, as a reporter for a major entertainment platform, made such unprofessional behavior as quietly following celebrities. thing.

He must really want to write sensational news to get ahead. To achieve this goal, he can ignore professional ethics and even—

You can do whatever it takes.

After the reporter walked away, Du Ruoying pretended to be casual and asked William: "Is he the reporter who followed Ai Ze that you dismissed earlier?"

"Eh, yes," William replied. "What's the matter? Is there anything about him that interests you?"

"No, no." Du Ruoying quietly raised a smile.

She clearly remembered that when William and Pei Xiaojing played the piano together, the reporter just stood far away to observe Ai Ze and Qi Tianshu, and had no interest in recording the performance at all.It seems that he is not interested in ordinary entertainment news, but is more interested in celebrity scandals.

He is an ideal partner, hehehe~

Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Go back to the banquet hall first, I'll go to the bathroom."

"Again?" William frowned.

"Oh, I didn't have a chance to do it before." She smiled playfully.

William shook his head helplessly: "Let me go with you."

"No, no, no," she hurriedly pushed him away, "I...I'll be fast! But you, it's too strange to keep guarding the bathroom door all the time, be careful of being treated as a pervert."

"..."

After running away, Du Ruoying saw that William didn't follow, but turned around and went to the banquet hall, so she stopped and let out a long sigh of relief.

She first briefly checked the two compartments in the women's bathroom to make sure that there was no one in them, then she went back to the sink shared by the men's and women's bathrooms, pretending to wash her hands while waiting for the reporter to come out.

Accompanied by the sound of "grumbling" water, Qi Tianshu came out of the bathroom, took a deep breath while washing his hands, and looked extraordinarily refreshed.He greeted her politely and left.

Immediately after 2 minutes, the reporter also came out, but there was no sound of flushing.

He really came in to follow Qi Tianshu.

But what news can be traced in the bathroom?

It was too late to care about that, seeing that the reporter was about to leave, she quickly grabbed him and said, "I have a piece of news that you are interested in."

Xu Xun looked at her in confusion: "What revelation?"

"Tonight, there will be an illegal transaction here. The trader is a big guy with a lot of traffic." Du Ruoying deliberately only disclosed half of the information, trying to arouse the other party's interest.

Anyway, it is not a lie to say that William is a "big guy with a lot of traffic", and it can also make this reporter think of Ai Ze and Qi Tianshu and other stars with more traffic, so as to achieve a double attraction effect.

Sure enough, she was pleasantly surprised to find that when Xu Xun heard the word "illegal transaction", Xu Xun's pupils tightened obviously.

It was by no means a look of disinterest.

"My information is absolutely reliable," Du Ruoying said confidently, raising her face slightly, "but I lack the equipment to secretly record the transaction scene, so I have to find someone to cooperate with, so I came to you. I believe that if this news If it breaks out, it will definitely cause a big sensation, and people all over the country will know the name of you as a reporter—of course, it doesn’t matter if you really don’t want to, and it’s the same when I go to other reporters.”

Having said that, Du Ruoying knew very well in her heart that the reporters here were all from well-established platforms, and most of them were the type who followed the rules. It might not be easy to find such a ruthless character who is not afraid of offending people.The reason why she said that was purely to provoke him and make him agree quickly.

She was sure that the young reporter who wanted to get ahead had no reason to reject her at all.

Unexpectedly, the other party's eyes suddenly became indifferent and alienated: "Then you can find other reporters."

"What?!" Du Ruoying wondered if she heard it wrong.

"I said, you can find other reporters to cooperate." The other party opened the door and left without any regrets.

She was the only one left stunned.

Which step was wrong? Is the reasoning wrong from the beginning?

Or is there something wrong with her words?

Why……

After returning to the venue, Du Ruoying didn't recover from the failure just now for a long time, and didn't even notice that Pei Xiaojing had come to her side.

"Are you ok?"

"Huh?" Seeing the other party's concerned expression, Du Ruoying almost couldn't react.

"Mr. William is so popular, you are very shocked?" Pei Xiaojing pointed to William who was talking and laughing with Gu Bingxi, her eyes were full of sympathy.

Du Ruoying looked absently in the direction she pointed, just in time to meet William's suspicious gaze, "It's okay..."

"Don't force yourself, how can you look like 'it's alright'?" Pei Xiaojing patted her shoulder lightly, "I understand your feelings - it's easy to fall in love with someone who is too popular Feeling safe." She suddenly lowered her voice, "Don't look at that Miss Gu who is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, she is very good at digging up walls, you have to be careful."

"Oh..." Du Ruoying responded lukewarmly, and began to search for other reporters.

Seeing that Du Ruoying was unmoved, Pei Xiaojing twitched her lips secretly: "Let me tell you this, she looks down on us second generations so much, but do you know how she got started?"

Du Ruoying shook her head.

"She relies on seducing men!" Pei Xiaojing continued, "When I first met her when I was studying in France, she was just a person who was cleaning dishes to pay for tuition, and then she hooked up with the one from the Gong family. The old man—yes, it was the well-known Gong family business back then. The old man was a ruthless person, and he would never be caught by love at first, but after meeting her, it was as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, and he soon fell in love with her. Married. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what she was planning, but he couldn't see it. It's incredible. Not long after the marriage, the old man died of a heart attack. It's like killing them."

Pei Xiaojing crossed her hands and clasped her arms tightly, as if being aroused by some terrible memory.

"Since then, there has been no Gong family, and the Gu family has replaced it, and now it has become stronger than any other force. This woman with no background is really evil. In fact, she looks like that, but the man she is eyeing , there is actually no one who does not follow her, and they are all willing to let her play - politicians, officials, entrepreneurs, celebrities, many people have been destroyed in her hands, and they have become her dolls and stepping stones.

"I noticed that you like Ai Ze very much, but do you know that Ai Ze used to be very self-sufficient, since he got along with her inexplicably for a while, his whole person has changed, and he has become..." Pei Xiaojing noticed Du Ruoying Suddenly, he became interested, so he pretended to be mysterious and restrained the conversation, "Forget it, so Ai Ze is not very good, after all, I still like him."

Unexpectedly, Du Ruoying didn't follow her lead to ask questions.

"Well, let's go back to Miss Gu." Pei Xiaojing cleared her throat in disappointment, "Do you know that Keya's younger brother Karl, his previous orientation was actually...that?"

"I don't know." Du Ruoying shook her head blankly.

"Keya and Karl also met her when they were studying in France. Later, the siblings seemed to be controlled by her, and Karl's orientation changed back to normal. Not to mention, even Keya obeyed her— The time for this press conference was appointed by Gu Bingxi himself, didn’t you expect that?” Pei Xiaojing said, “I’m afraid, even if Gu Bingxi told them to kill people, they would do it!”

Du Ruoying looked at her suspiciously.

"Besides, Gu Bingxi is really perverted. He not only has a way of torturing men, but also is unkind to women. When she was studying in France, she and Dong Chenyue were good girlfriends, but now she treats her girlfriends as The servant girl is calling—here, it is her personal make-up artist, have you seen it, she is so pitiful. In my opinion, falling into her hands is no different from falling into hell.

"I shouldn't have said these secrets," Pei Xiaojing said, pulling Du Ruoying's hands earnestly, "but to warn you, I don't have to. You must be careful, and don't let Mr. William fall into the trap." It's in Gu Bingxi's hands."

"Thank you for your advice." Du Ruoying smiled politely.

To be honest, she really wasn't worried about William at all.Although I don't know how much of the information in Pei Xiaojing's "good words and persuasion" is true or not, she probably wants to use herself as a gunman when she says this.But this description made Du Ruoying more and more convinced——

Gu Bingxi is probably the scary Madame Butterfly.

Maybe, she should tell Sherlock this information...

"Has anyone ever said that you don't look like lovers?" Pei Xiaojing frowned in confusion.

Here it is again, why does this damn proposition appear repeatedly, and where is the problem?

"No...it doesn't look like it?"

"Well, it's not like that." Pei Xiaojing said, "I think you don't seem to be worried that Mr. William will be taken away."

Du Ruoying breathed a sigh of relief: "He will not be taken away."

Wouldn't it be absurd for Napoleon, a majestic criminal, to be caught by a beauty trick so easily?But then again, if even Gu Bingxi can't handle William, how qualified is she, an ordinary person, to daydream here?

How meaningful is it to stay by his side as a lover...

"You're really unbelievable, Du Ruoying," Pei Xiaojing smiled, "You're so ordinary, yet so confident. You said he won't be taken away, hehehe, do you know who your opponents are? ? Or—you really don’t have any feelings?”

"...?!!"

Well, she understood what Pei Xiaojing meant.

This woman, talking about so many interests, has only one purpose, and that is to encourage her to destroy the atmosphere of getting along with William and Gu Bingxi.Although her heart is terrible, but what she said is true, if I continue to act indifferently, I am afraid that it will really attract more people to doubt her relationship with William...

Isn't it just a jealous drama?

play!Play it for you!

Du Ruoying gritted her teeth secretly, and decided to go all out. After a few seconds of deliberation, her eyes burst into tears, and she looked extremely aggrieved: "I... I'm actually very jealous, but, as you said, her status is so low. What can I do to her? I can only endure it."

"How could it be? You are justifiable lovers, and everything you do is justified. Who can say that you are gossiping because of this? I hope that he only pays attention to you alone, just get his attention back. No matter what , at least take an oath of sovereignty, right?"

"Is this... okay?" Du Ruoying hesitated.

"What's wrong, it should be like this, he's your boyfriend!" Pei Xiaojing put one hand on her back and patted her gently, "Go, I support you!"

Du Ruoying swallowed her saliva nervously, stood up, and walked towards William step by step. At the same time, her mind was running fast, thinking about what kind of plot should be performed on the spot later, so as to eliminate other people's doubts and not As for sabotaging William's business.

Recalling the way Pei Xiaojing crossed her hands just now, she suddenly had an idea.She crossed her arms with both hands, rubbing them constantly, and shrank into a ball, trembling slightly, and sneezed to the side.

William frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Cold." She answered pitifully.

William walked up to her in confusion, put his hand on hers, and found that the temperature was normal. He immediately understood that she was acting again.And Pei Xiaojing, who was staring here from a distance, was probably the reason why she came to act.

He smiled knowingly, took her hands, put them between his own, and rubbed them lightly: "Hands are so cold, be careful of catching a cold."

"Maybe the air conditioner is too big," Du Ruoying imitated Pei Xiaojing's tone, and said to him pitifully, "It's all because I didn't listen to you and didn't wear more clothes to go out."

Since Pei Xiaojing encouraged her to disgust Gu Bingxi, then she should act in Pei Xiaojing's style, so that Gu Bingxi could think that it was Pei Xiaojing's bad idea behind her back.

"I really can't do anything about you." William took off his coat and put it on her.

"Is it okay to give me the coat?"

"It's okay, I happen to be a little hot, so I'll leave it to you for safekeeping." William dotingly closed the neckline of his coat for her, and pressed a kiss on her forehead, his eyes quickly swept across Looking at the audience, seeing Gu Bingxi's indifferent face, Pei Xiaojing's jealousy and happiness, and the others' envy.

It seems that the purpose has been achieved.

However, on the other side, Du Ruoying, who was obviously the one who took the initiative to attack, was so teased by him that her brain almost crashed.

The kiss on the forehead was like a small stone falling into the calm water. With a slight touch, it caused circles of ripples to spread, and brought an inexplicable warm current that quickly swept through the whole body, together with the body temperature on the coat. , her cheeks flushed red from the baking, and her breathing quickly became hot.

Damn, reverse attack foul ah hello!

William looked down at the look of dodging and hesitating in her eyes, and unconsciously evoked a slight smile.He knew that she was teetering on the verge of this false sweetness becoming real.

Just one more push and you'll be...

"Snapped--"

A crisp applause suddenly awakened Du Ruoying.

She looked up and saw Gu Bingxi raised her palm high, and under the palm was a girl with her head lowered and her face covered. She remembered that this girl was called Dong Chenyue, and she was Gu Bingxi's personal make-up artist.

"What happened?" she asked blankly.

"It's nothing, the makeup artist was clumsy and broke my perfume bottle, that's all." Gu Bingxi smiled coldly, reached out to grab Dong Chenyue's collar, but Du Ruoying stopped her.

"Then there's no need to hit people!" Du Ruoying instinctively protected Dong Chenyue behind her, and met Gu Bingxi's scrutinizing gaze, but that gaze was like a flame burning the skin at close range, making people instinctively want to retreat and avoidance.

Gu Bingxi was silent for a moment, and suddenly hooked his fingers coldly, "Chen Yue, come with me, let's talk in another place."

Du Ruoying turned her head to look at Dong Chenyue whose cheek was flushed from the beating, and felt a little bad in her heart: "Don't go..."

Dong Chenyue lowered her head deeply, not even daring to look at her: "I'm sorry." Then he followed Gu Bingxi out of the banquet hall.

"Stop chasing." William grabbed Du Ruoying's wrist.

"But she was angered by us!"

"No, she is..."

Seeing that he was about to be unable to catch up, before he could finish speaking, Du Ruoying interrupted, "Anyway, I'm worried, I'm going to take a look."

As soon as the words fell, she had already broken free from his restraints and ran away towards the exit.
