please don't believe me

The Weiss family dinner is reserved for the famous luxury private club in the city.

Exquisite food is placed on the long table. Celebrities, merchants, artists, or suits and leather dresses, or fashions with a sense of fashion, walk around holding wine glasses and chatting with each other.

Even for such a formal occasion tonight, Dai Bowen was only wearing the casual suit that Shen Xiuyuan had paid for—to be precise, Stuttgart’s money—with his shirt unbuttoned twice.His hair is a little disheveled, but not ugly, and when he holds a wine glass, he reveals the starry sky watch on his wrist.

He looks so handsome and suave, so even if the people present don't know who "Director Dominique Bandler" is, there are still many ladies willing to talk to him.

Naturally, Shen Xiuyuan was surrounded by fellows from Stuttgart, while Ivan was talking with some fellow artists.

Of course, Dai Bowen didn't come here purely for fun. Although he dealt with the famous ladies, he paid his attention to the uncles in Stuttgart without any trace.In order for him to accurately lock the target, Shen Xiuyuan used the old method - throwing the information to him in advance to familiarize himself with.

Even though Dai Bowen didn't memorize it seriously, it was enough for him to recognize those important people.

But even if he doesn't recite it, it probably doesn't matter.When these enemies came in earlier, Shen Xiuyuan and Ivan shook hands with them one by one, and Dai Bowen "coincidentally" was nearby.This group of people exchanged pleasantries with meaning in their words, and Dai Bowen could hear them clearly.Although there is no key content, but there is a sense of tension hidden in it, and some smell of gunpowder can still be heard.

To be honest, this banquet looked glamorous, but it was actually a "carnival" before the "riot".

Dai Bowen gradually entered the area where most of the members of the uncles in Stuttgart were, but it was hard to get any closer.He picked a lady who had lost touch with the group after a few chats, and walked up to her, pretending to have accidentally bumped the tongs while fetching food.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Anyway, a gentleman has to apologize for "offending" a lady. Dai Bowen smiled at the lady apologetically, "I didn't mean it. Ladies first, please!"

"It's okay." It was a mature-looking woman, probably over 40, but she had very well-maintained skin, blonde hair and red lips.She wore a low-cut dress with black feathers sewn on black gauze, gold jewelry and a deep red belt, making her look elegant and slightly "aggressive".She accepted the man's apology frankly, and then took away the beautiful and delicate tiramisu cake.

Dai Bowen took advantage of the situation: "Wow, this cake is really beautiful. I don't know much about sweets, but I think it must be delicious to get your attention, and I have to try it too!"

Seeing that he really took a piece of cake, the lady smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, I hope you are not implying that I don't know how to diet."

At this kind of banquet, most people can accept the conversation of strangers with "good intentions", and this lady is no exception.What's more, this dashing gentleman seems to have some "naughty" qualities that blonde ladies like most.

"Diet? No, no, you look perfect, and you don't need a little more or less." Dai Bowen calmly cut a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth, "Oh... I have to say, my guess turned out That's right, the cake you fancy won't be Fanpin."

Most of the elegant ladies who will serve food at such a banquet will not hate others to praise her favorite food, and the blonde lady is no exception.She seemed to like watching Dai Bowen eat, and said with a low chuckle, "Right? I'm not like those young girls who are bound by their weight. I eat and drink when I need to."

"If the other ladies at the banquet hear this, they will definitely be furious." Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, "And I have to say, you are definitely prettier than most of the girls at this banquet! "

The blond lady laughed and said, "Your mouth is really sweeter than a cake. But you are wrong about one thing. How many real ladies are there in this venue?"

"Oh, then they are definitely not as good as you." Dai Bowen blinked, "How many of them can afford V-brand couture like you?"

Thanks to the director for making up for some luxury fashion news last year in preparation for the filming, Dai Bowen deduced the source of this item on the blonde lady based on the high-definition characteristics of the V brand in his impression.

"Wow, I really have to look at you differently, only you recognize its origin!" The blond lady approached Dai Bowen and complained in a low voice, "Those old guys who only know how to wear black suits insist that I look like a 'black widow' , should give them fashion lessons!"

Even though he knew it was just a joke, the joke hit the mark.Dai Bowen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who dares to make such an evaluation?"

The blond lady seemed quite happy to tease the man, and said with a smile, "It's not just those people..."

After Dai Bowen's "social activities" finally came to an end, he went to the balcony and lit a cigarette, preparing to relax.

Shen Xiuyuan's message came at this time.

Stuttgart: "Have a good chat with Ms. Meilan?"

Dai Bowen actually didn't know who Mei Lan was, but he could basically guess it, so he replied casually: "It's okay."

Stuttgart: "Meilan's identity is not simple. There are rumors that she is my uncle's mistress. Don't be fooled."

Dai Bowen smiled, and continued to reply: "On such a critical night, he still brought a woman? Is he too confident or didn't notice your actions at all?"

Stuttgart: "She's the editor of a fashion magazine and belongs to Ivan's guest."

Fashion magazine editor?It's no wonder that when she commented on the group of old men—not including Stuttgart, of course—and the beautiful chicks, she always disliked each other in a very confident state.

Dominic Bandler: "Understood, I'll go find out the relationship between these two."

"Where are you here, Don?" Ivan opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains at this moment and walked out, "I just saw you having a good conversation with Ms. Hiding here."

When Dai Bowen heard that intimate abbreviation, he felt a headache.For such an embarrassing thing, it is also a skill to insist on pretending not to know, and to make friends with the other party!Fortunately, he didn't have to bear it for too long, and he was completely relieved.

Or... just "sex lure" him into the closed space?Dai Bowen thought wildly.

Ivan didn't know what bad thoughts the person in front of him was thinking, but he just moved closer and said with a smile, "Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Dai Bowen flicked his cigarette, "It's just that I'm not used to this kind of 'celebrity activities'."

"What kind of celebrity is this?" Ivan twitched his lips, "I'm not a 'celebrity' either."

"Great artist, you still say such things during the exhibition, do you want to be humiliated by your brother?" Dai Bowen also laughed, "From your tone, you are very familiar with that 'Black Swan'?"

"'Black Swan'? Oh, you said Ms. Meilan's skirt..." Ivan laughed, "I just met her a few times at the exhibition, you know, this town is so big in total, if there are not enough artists, it is called I'll make it up."

"Really?" Dai Bowen leaned against the railing, his eyes raised in mid-air, "I think she's not bad..."

Ivan shook his head: "Don't approach her, she is not a simple woman."

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and waited until the puff of smoke was slowly exhaled from his mouth before he uttered a sound: "Oh?"

Ivan looked at him.This man no longer maintained the elite style he had seen before, but became decadent and unrestrained, with a full-bodied appearance.If the previous Ivan gradually paid attention to him because of his constant care; now it is because of this man's characteristics that it is difficult for Ivan to take his attention away from him.

At a glance, one can feel that Dominic Bandler is unrestrained and free.This maverick quality is especially evident in a group of people with intricate relationships.The sensitive Ivan, who was overwhelmed by the family, had a hard time not chasing this quality.

Ivan thought and thought, and finally approached Dai Bowen and said in a low voice, "Ms. Mei Lan...may be my uncle's mistress."

This is not the first time Dai Bowen heard this, he continued to smoke leisurely: "So?"

"Actually, because of this relationship, I kept a distance from her on purpose." Ivan whispered, "It's normal for her to come to my art exhibition, but she actually attended this dinner... I always feel that she is Bad intentions."

Dai Bowen asked suspiciously: "So, she was brought by your uncle?"

"No, I mailed an invitation to her office," Ivan replied, "but it was just a routine, and I didn't think she would come."

Dai Bowen was actually very surprised that Ivan commented on Mei Lan in this way.It stands to reason that this young man didn't know Shen Xiuyuan's plan, let alone what his uncles were planning, but he could sense something was wrong from Mei Lan, so he could see his sensitivity.

"Okay, I get it. But it's not a gentleman's job to talk about women behind their backs. I'll let you off this time, Ivan." Dai Bowen twisted his cigarette butt as he said, "I want to go in and have something to eat, how about you?" ?”

"I'll stay for a while." Ivan replied, "Don't provoke them."

Dai Bowen had already lifted the curtain, and turned around and asked after hearing the words, "Including your brother?"

Ivan looked at him: "Including my brother."

Dai Bowen smiled at him, opened the curtain and re-entered the venue.

Shen Xiuyuan ended his daily communication with his business partners, took a sip of brandy, and then asked someone to ask where his brother and director were.

His assistant replied that both of them were on the balcony, but now the director came out to eat, and his brother hadn't come out yet.

Shen Xiuyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.These two are both big burdens, but one is the reason for holding today's dinner, and the other is more important, it is like a cheating tool, and there is nothing to lose.

"Stuttgart, you are finally free." Stuttgart's uncle came over, followed by the blond woman in black gauze and feather dress, "Meilan was clamoring to see you, she said she hit it off with that Bandler director and fell in love with each other." We had a great conversation, and I asked if you would like to invest in him to make a movie..."

Dai Bowen's project is so big, it's hard to hide it from the members of the Weiss family.Therefore, Shen Xiuyuan is not surprised that the uncles in Stuttgart kept talking about "Director Bandele".

"If the director has a good script, of course I'm willing to cast it." Shen Xiuyuan replied unabashedly, "After all, he has helped me a lot and is Ivan's benefactor. Although I don't have any special skills, I can help him cast a film or two. I can still do it."

"That's because I'm redundant." Ms. Mei Lan giggled while holding her wine glass, "It's all because the director is so likable. I always thought of helping him..."

No matter what reason she said these words, Shen Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously.After he chatted with Ms. Mei Lan in a gentlemanly manner, the "black swan" and "black widow" left happily, leaving his uncle in Stuttgart to continue talking to Shen Xiuyuan.

Listening to the uncle's words, Shen Xiuyuan took a sip of brandy and glanced at the black figure indistinctly.

This woman...what the hell is she here for?
