He just received four million from Jiang Ke.
Jiang Mingxi wanted to comfort herself.
It's my birthday!
I booked a hot pot restaurant that offers good privacy and is more affordable.
I took a shower, changed my clothes, and sent Song Lan a message: [ "Teacher Song, are you busy? I have something to do, so I won't be having dinner with Teacher Song today. Let's make plans another day."]
Carrying the cake, I went out looking beautiful.
Jiang Mingxi originally thought she would be the first to arrive.
When they pushed open the door to the private room—
Wow~
Zhao Jiayuan and Chen Chong have already started fighting inside.
"You fucking dare say another word!" Zhao Jiayuan pressed Chen Chong down into the chair, almost sitting on Chen Chong's lap to restrain Chen Chong, his hands pressing down on Chen Chong's shoulders and neck.
Chen Chong, gripping the table, was forced back by the man's weight, his face contorted with rage. "Are you an idiot?! Did I say something wrong? That President Liu clearly wants to sleep with you, why are you going after him?!"
Zhao Jiayuan angrily retorted, "Bullshit! He was won over by my talent!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the door open and turned around to see Jiang Mingxi Zhao Jiayuan a cake in.
He immediately yelled, " Xiaoxi, you be the judge! This bastard ruined a good resource for me today!"
Chen Chong said irritably, "A fifty-year-old man wants to sleep with his good resources."
Zhao Jiayuan roared, "Nonsense!"
"He's touching your leg!" Chen Chong raised an eyebrow, his eyes cold.
Zhao Jiayuan smacked his lips and then fell silent.
Jiang Mingxi chuckled and asked Zhao Jiayuan, "Were you born not liking to talk?"
Zhao Jiayuan jumped off Chen Chong's lap in anger, pointed at Jiang Mingxi, and shouted, "I came here specifically to celebrate your birthday! Can't you speak properly?!"
Jiang Mingxi smiled as she placed the birthday cake on the table, half-hugging Zhao Jiayuan's arm and shaking it, then deliberately acted cute in her soft voice, " Brother Jiayuan, don't be angry, I was wrong~"
Zhao Jiayuan was immediately amused, glared at him, and then his gaze was drawn to the cake on the table.
To be precise, I was attracted by the words on the cake.
"Hmm? Teacher Song, will you be my boyfriend?" After reading the words on the cake aloud, Zhao Jiayuan turned to Jiang Mingxi, looking at her with a mix of teasing and suspicion. "This cake of yours isn't very honest, is it?"
Looking over, I saw Xu Tao and Zhao Ke arriving together.
Neither Chen Chong nor Zhao Jiayuan expected that Jiang Mingxi would actually be able to invite Zhao Ke.
Although Jiang Mingxi mentioned in the WeChat that she had invited Zhao Ke.
but--
This is Zhao Ke!
The chief photographer for " Qiaoli " is someone many people want to invite to events, but they can't get him to come.
I heard that some investors tried to get Zhao Ke to attend the event by throwing money at her, but when that didn't work, they threatened to stop working with " Zhao Ke Qiaoli " if she didn't go. In the end, Zhao Ke still didn't go.
I heard that the investor who made those harsh remarks was later ousted from the industry.
Zhao Ke remains a leading actress in " Qiaoli ".
How did Jiang Mingxi manage to invite someone like this?
Zhao Jiayuan was a lively and outspoken person. Considering himself friends with Jiang Mingxi, he bluntly said, " Jiang Mingxi, you're something else! You actually managed to invite Zhao Ke! My goodness, does this mean I can rise to prominence along with you?"
Jiang Mingxi was both amused and exasperated. "I'm a nobody, and you're the esteemed Prince of Nine Yuan Nine NTD."
As Zhao Ke sat down, he smiled at Zhao Jiayuan and said, "It's not like I haven't taken photos of you before. We've worked together, haven't we?"
Zhao Jiayuan's eyes widened. He pulled out a chair next to him and plopped down, looking at Zhao Ke. "Working together and coming to celebrate a birthday are two different things."
Zhao Ke glanced at Jiang Mingxi, "Then next time it's your birthday, I'll go too, okay?"
Zhao Jiayuan's eyes lit up. "You said it? I'm going to take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments today. I'm going to use this sentence as the caption."
Zhao Ke smiled and nodded, then looked at Chen Chong.
Chen Chong was never one for many words; he simply smiled as a greeting.
Jiang Mingxi pursued Song Lan openly and passionately, a fact known to everyone present.
Especially since there was that one sentence on his cake.
Zhao Jiayuan opened a bottle of wine. "Tell me, birthday boy, what's with this cake? You suddenly called us over to celebrate your birthday, and this cake is clearly not for us."
Jiang Mingxi came by taxi, so she didn't care whether she drank alcohol or not.
He's the kind of person who doesn't engage in internal conflicts.
Zhao Jiayuan poured him a beer, which he drank in one gulp. Jiang Mingxi laughed, "I was originally planning to have a romantic lunch with Song Lan today, and also seduce him into confirming our relationship."
Zhao Ke was taking a sip of wine when he heard this and almost choked.
He was willing to have dinner with Jiang Mingxi mainly because he was still captivated by the beauty of Jiang Mingxi's photos.
Although he's a bottom, everyone has a love for beauty.
In all his years of filming, this was the first time he had encountered someone whose beauty could so captivate him.
So I'd like to get to know them.
I didn't expect Jiang Mingxi to be so direct.
"And now? Are you angry because of him and Zhang Lin trending on social media?" Zhao Ke coughed twice and asked.
The topic is trending on Weibo.
You can see it online.
Jiang Mingxi laughed and said, "It's not that I'm angry, it's just annoying. Can you understand that kind of annoyance? When you're in a relationship, when you're kissing, someone will suddenly rush in. When you're hugging, someone will suddenly walk over. No matter what you want to do, someone will interrupt you."
Not only will they interrupt you, but they'll also tell you about his relationships with so-and-so.
"Anyway, it's this kind of thing, it's really annoying."
Zhao Jiayuan nodded, "I understand, it's just bad luck in love!"
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Chong.
Chen Chong raised an eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me? I don't have any unwanted romantic advances."
Zhao Jiayuan kicked Chen Chong's calf under the table with his foot, a light kick landing on Chen Chong's calf. "You didn't? You and Jiang Yingying didn't?"
Chen Chong's expression darkened slightly for a moment after being kicked by Zhao Jiayuan. "No."
"Tch~" Zhao Jiayuan snorted, ignoring her, and turned to look at Jiang Mingxi again, "So, this means you failed in your date with Song Lan, and now you're using your birthday as an excuse to have dinner with us to cheer yourself up? The rest of us are, your backup options?"
Jiang Mingxi burst out laughing, "If you interpret it that way, there's nothing wrong with it!"
Zhao Jiayuan slammed his hand on the table. "You'd better punish yourself with three drinks. I'll only forgive you after you finish them."
Chen Chong was about to add, "Ignore him."
Jiang Mingxi, on the other hand, was quite decisive. She stood up, grabbed a bottle of beer, and downed it in one gulp.
Hospital.
Because Zhang Lin's breathing became very rapid later, Song Lan had to carry him out of the car and run all the way into the hospital lobby.
The reception nurses in the lobby immediately arranged for a stretcher.
I went to the emergency room and had a blood test; it turned out to be a food allergy.
After all that trouble, Zhang Lin was admitted to the hospital and started an IV drip. Song Lan, concerned about Jiang Mingxi, said, "Your agent will be here soon. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Zhang Lin lay pale on the hospital bed, his chest hurting more than when the IV needle pierced his vein. " Brother Song Lan, I'm a little scared."
As he spoke, Song Lan took out his phone, preparing to call Jiang Mingxi, and started to walk out.
He took out his phone.
I saw WeChat message.
