After Lin Xi returned to the crew, he temporarily suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart and started to concentrate on filming.
Under the director's frenzied filming, the filming finally reached the final stage of the film crew.
During this period, Lin Xi was so tired that she had to return to the hotel every day to sleep, and she didn't have the energy to think about Qin Yu and her ex-girlfriend anymore. Even the big news such as "Qiao Mingyu was either banned, had been hospitalized," or "Lin's had suffered a serious loss, as well as being the new CEO or off-stage" was something she could only look at for fun and that would be the end of it.
When he was close to death, director Zhao Qi suddenly received a party invitation, which allowed him to bring a female companion to participate. I heard that the people invited at the party were all famous directors and writers in the movie industry, as well as some investors.
Zhao Qi wanted to bring Bai Nianxi to see the world. Although she already had Qin Yu as her backer, it would not be bad for her to develop more connections. In addition, some of the directors didn't care about money. If they wanted to play his role, they would have to have excellent acting skills. They could only go in front of him to brush up on their existence.
When Lin Xi heard that the director was going to bring him to the ball, he became very happy. It wasn't because of what she would get from going to the party, but because the director was willing to take her. At the very least, it meant that he approved of her acting skills.
On the day of the party, the crew finished their work early. Lin Xi changed into a set of formal attire and followed Zhao Qi to a winery.
The reception this time was semi-public. Other than the guests, there were also a few reporters. However, the reporters could only take photos at the periphery and were not allowed to enter the venue.
When Lin Xi and Zhao Qi got off the car together and looked at the twenty metre long red carpet at the entrance, they were somewhat speechless.
Why did he have to walk the red carpet for a wine party now?
The two of them were standing next to the red carpet, ridiculing each other. From a short distance away, another man and woman walked over.
When Qin Yu turned around, he saw her, and their eyes met, causing the scene to instantly become awkward.
She and Qin Yu were married, but had brought other male and female companions into the arena. She glanced at the reporters holding cameras on either side of her. It was easy to imagine what the headlines would be for tomorrow's tabloids.
The CEO of Qin’s Group was looking for a new partner, a new lover meeting on a narrow path, who exactly was the real love, the unmarried couple were completely different, each playing with the other without interfering …
In just half a minute, Lin Xi had already thought of 10 kinds of gossip that could be imagined.
Qin Yu's female companion was called Li Feier. He was an artiste in Tian Yi and was worthy of being called the Shadow Queen.
Lin Xi stared at Li Feier for a while, then suddenly remembered that Li Feier had only gotten married in the last year.
Then, wouldn't she be the female celebrity that Qin Yu liked?
Lin Xi sized Li Feier up again, and realised that she was indeed pretty, although she was close to thirty years old, her complexion was not any worse compared to a young girl in her early twenties. On the contrary, because she was a few years older, she looked even more gentle.
Forget about men, even Lin Xi liked them all.
She suddenly felt that Li Feier was most likely Xing Lie's ex-girlfriend.
Otherwise, Qin Yu would not have risked being randomly written by the reporters to abandon his fiancee and choose Li Feier as his female companion.
Lin Xi kept thinking long and hard along the way, and her mood slowly became downcast. Just like that, she followed behind Qin Yu and Li Feier and walked onto the red carpet.
Originally, Qin Yu still wanted to explain to her that it was just a coincidence that he brought Li Feier to participate in the royal ball today. Furthermore, he didn't know that Bai Nianxi would participate in the royal ball, otherwise, he would have chosen her as her companion.
Even though Qin Yu had a lot of words to say, when he saw Bai Nianxi's indifferent look, he recalled the resistance she had against him in the hospital and immediately became angry again. He turned his head without looking at her.
Just like that, the two of them did not communicate at all. Carrying each other's hands, they entered the venue one after the other.
The cameras around him clicked even more cheerfully.
When Zhao Qi saw Qin Yu, he felt that something was amiss. The people who were so high profile on Weibo just a while ago were now like two strangers.
He whispered to Lin Xi: "Did you quarrel with Qin Yu?"
"No, very good!" Lin Xi stared at Qin Yu's arm that was being held by Li Feier and said.
Although his tone didn't sound like he was doing very well, it wasn't appropriate for others to criticize the relationship between husband and wife. If Lin Xi was unwilling to say, then Zhao Qi would not ask anymore.
He began to bring Bai Nianxi to meet everyone on the stage. He really liked the serious look Bai Nianxi had when she was acting, so he did not hold back.
Lin Xi followed Zhao Qi and greeted him along the way. She went up slightly and told Zhao Qi that she would go to the pavilion in the courtyard and wake up the wine with the wind.
Lin Xi sat in the pavilion and looked up into the night sky. There were no stars tonight, but the moon was big and round.
However, her vision blurred, and in the blink of an eye, she discovered that the moon in the sky had actually grown a face like Qin Yu. Lin Xi glared at the moon fiercely, then retracted her gaze.
At this time, an unfamiliar man also walked into the pavilion. He looked at Lin Xi and said: "I wonder if you have the luck to accompany Miss Bai for a few months?"
Hearing him call her surname, Lin Xi could not help but frown and ask, "Who are you?"
The man laughed: "My name is Li Muze, I hope I didn't disturb the Miss Bai."
Lin Xi always felt that his smile had some malicious intent, so she rejected: "Sorry, I don't know you."
Li Muze said: "Even though Miss Bai doesn't know me, she should know my sister, Li Muqing."
Li Muze, Li Muqing...
As expected of brothers and sisters, even their names were similar.
Lin Xi scoffed, and asked him, "What? Mr. Li is here to avenge your sister? "
Li Muze said: "Not really, I am here on her behalf to apologize to you. "Little Qing has been spoiled too much by her family members. This time, she should be taught a lesson …"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, he was indeed a wise and good brother. But the following words, as he spoke, changed the tone of his words, "But she is still young, so the punishment for her in prison is too heavy. It will affect her entire life. Her case is about to be decided, so I hope Miss Bai can forgive Little Qing so that her punishment will be lighter. Of course, if Miss Bai has any requests, feel free to mention them. Although their Li Family is not as good as the Qin family's, they still have some power and influence, and would definitely not let Miss Bai suffer a loss. "
In the end, it was because of Li Muqing's case.
He wanted to bribe her to forgive Li Muqing and beg for mercy from the judge on the day of the trial. At that time, the judge would consider the request from the victim and sentence the defendant lightly, and maybe even exempt her from punishment.
What a good idea!
Lin Xi laughed and said: "I think you found the wrong person, Mr. Li. If you are not satisfied with the administration of justice, and feel that the punishment Li Muqing gets according to the law is too heavy, then you should go and write a letter of opinion for the judicial system, not looking for me."
She secretly took out his phone while speaking, and when Li Muze wasn't paying attention, he pressed the record button.
"Miss Bai, I advise you to think it over carefully." Li Muze retracted the smile on his face.
Lin Xi opened the recording a little late, so it did not reach the recording that Li Muze wanted to bribe his. She felt a little regretful, and then repeated himself: "Don't think about it, Mr. Li, no matter how much you give me, or how many good things you promise me, I will not be bribed by you. Li Muqing is already an adult, she should be responsible for her mistakes. I won't forgive her for what her trial ended up with. It's a court matter, not one of us. "
Li Muze's expression began to turn sinister under the moonlight. He said: "Miss Bai, I think it's better to have another friend than an enemy. You're protected by Qin Yu now, fearless, but how long can he protect you? Don't you see that he brought a new person with him today? If Qin Yu doesn't plan on protecting you one day, what do you think your enemy will do? "
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, "Are you threatening me?"
Li Muze stared at her coldly and asked: "Then, did my threat take effect?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a tough nut to crack. The more people threaten me, the more I want to dissent. Therefore, I will say it again, "Lin Xi repeated," I will never forgive Li Muqing, and I will never ask the court to sentence her lightly.
Li Muze laughed coldly: "I hope that you will not regret today's decision in the future."
"Thank you for your blessings." Lin Xi touched the phone in her pocket and thought, I hope you won't regret coming to me to say these things today.
The recording in her hand was Li Muze's evidence against the fairness of the law.
Although with the power of Li Family, this recording still might not be able to do anything to Li Muze, but at least it would be able to calm their home down for a while before Li Muqing pronounces her judgement.
"Yes." Lin Xi stepped around Li Muze and left the pavilion.
But just as she was walking forward, she met Qin Yu who was rushing over.
The moment Qin Yu saw her, he pulled her up and carried her in his arms. Then, he looked towards the pavilion not far away and asked: "Li Muze didn't do anything to you, right?"
Lin Xi leaned into his embrace, feeling his warmth and smell, her heartbeat suddenly started beating faster.
She didn't answer Qin Yu's question but asked him instead, "Are you nervous at me?"
Qin Yu's arm that was holding Lin Xi stiffened for a moment.
Lin Xi laughed bitterly, pushed him away and said: "Didn't I tell you before? If you don't like me, don't do anything that's easy to misunderstand. For example, right now, I would mistake it for you being nervous about me. "
"Have you been arguing with me these past few days?" Qin Yu's voice suddenly became cold, did she already hate him that much? You don't even want to touch him anymore?
A ball of anger inexplicably rose in Qin Yu's heart: "Don't forget our agreement back then, you are now my fiancee. If I don't hug you and kiss you, it would be easy to misunderstand!"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Xi's lips.
She refused it and took the opportunity to bite on his lips. Then, when he was in pain, she pushed him away angrily: "Go find your Li Feier!"
Without even looking at Qin Yu, she turned and ran into the ball hall.
Qin Yu, on the other hand, stared at her back for a long time without moving, his expression unfathomable even when his face was hidden in the shadows.
What neither of them noticed was that in the shadows a short distance away from the courtyard, there were flashes of light directed at the two of them. The lights had already been extinguished several times.
Lin Xi returned back to the main hall to walk around, and quickly greeted Zhao Qi, then she went back to the hotel in advance.
On the way back, she was still feeling regretful. If she had known that Qin Yu would come today, she would not have come to participate in the ball no matter what.
Under the director's frenzied filming, the filming finally reached the final stage of the film crew.
During this period, Lin Xi was so tired that she had to return to the hotel every day to sleep, and she didn't have the energy to think about Qin Yu and her ex-girlfriend anymore.
