As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Ning Meigui's words, Director Ji responded, "I'll lend you my good wishes."

Ying Ruxing turned her head away with a cold look, pretending not to see the man.

But it was obvious that Ji Cheng was coming for her.

"Ms. Ying, we had some misunderstandings before. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Miss Ying."

He raised the wine glass in his hand, Ying Ruxing curled the corner of his mouth lightly, and a hint of mockery appeared in the bottom of his bright eyes.

"I can't bear it."

She opened her red lips slightly and uttered three words casually.

The tone was lazy, yet full of alienation.

Ji Cheng's face changed slightly, as if he didn't expect her to be so disrespectful.

He had already begged for peace in a humble manner, but this bitch didn't even give him the slightest bit of face!

Ji Cheng has indeed had a hard time during this period. Although he has someone supporting him behind the scenes, he cannot withstand Shi Jinyuan's suppression.

He is back temporarily now, but if the alarm is not lifted, Jin Yuan might be unhappy one day and start a tit-for-tat relationship again.

If it wasn't for his future, he wouldn't have been so humble as to beg Ying Ruxing, that little bitch!

Ji Cheng took a deep breath and said, "I know Miss Ying is still angry. We will have plenty of time to resolve the misunderstanding in the future. I just hope Miss Ying can say a few good words in front of President Shi."

"Ah."

Before Ji Cheng finished speaking, Ying Ruxing lazily raised the corner of her mouth and sneered.

She stood up, holding up the hem of her skirt. "Sister Rose, didn't Director Zhang just say he wanted to have a drink with me? I'm rested now, let's go."

She didn't even glance at Ji Cheng and just walked past him.

Veins bulged on the back of Ji Cheng's hand as he held the wine glass, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Those eyes were sunken, like two black holes, making people feel a creepy fear.

He took note of it.

Should be like a star.

Ying Ruxing didn’t know that Ji Cheng hated her, or maybe she knew it, but she didn’t care.

Ning Meigui took her through the crowd, and her beauty attracted many directors. After hearing that she was a professional actor, several well-known directors extended olive branches to her.

Ning Meigui accepted all of them, but did not give any clear response.

According to Ning Meigui, although Ying Ruxing is still unknown now, she believes that sooner or later she will become a global celebrity.

Therefore, now we must not show an attitude of urgently needing resources to get ahead. Instead, we must appear calm and cool, and leave enough space for them to imagine.

Shi Jinyuan had specifically told her not to drink, so all the wine at the banquet was taken by Ning Meigui.

She knew what was going on and didn't drink much. After a few pleasantries, she answered a phone call and pulled Ying Ruxing aside.

"One of my artists has some problems, so I have to leave first."

"I've called someone to pick you up. Don't run around. Just wait at the door."

Ying Ruxing nodded obediently.

After Ning Meigui left, she felt even more isolated and helpless at the party. She didn't want to curry favor with anyone, so she simply went outside to wait for the car.

Ning Meigui said someone was coming to pick her up and she wouldn't have to wait too long.

Although the summer is hot, the breeze brings a hint of coolness.

She was wearing a black silk satin waist-length skirt. The wind blew the skirt against her body, making her figure look more charming.

“Isn’t this Miss Ying?”

Ying Ruxing tilted her head and recognized the person who was speaking. It was the director that Ning Meigui had just introduced her to.

She said that this director has produced good works in the circle, but his character is not very good. If it is not absolutely necessary, it is best not to have any contact with him.

Ying Ruxing thought about it and finally said, "Hello, Director."

"Waiting for a bus? Where are you going? How about I give you a ride?" He moved closer to Ying Ruxing and grabbed her hand without changing his expression.

Ying Ruxing stepped back quickly, "No need."

"It's okay. How long are you going to wait here alone? It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll take you there."

He reached out his hand again, and his lustful and obscene eyes, under the influence of alcohol, fell on her unscrupulously.

"I said no!" Ying Ruxing frowned, "Please respect yourself. We are still outside the banquet hall. You don't want to lose face, do you?"

"Anyway, I'm not popular and I have more scandals, so I'm not afraid of adding another one. But you, do you want to be famous?"

"What are you pretending for?"

Probably stimulated by her words, the man's eyes turned sinister, and he suddenly grabbed her wrist and sneered, "Name your price, how much for one night?"

Ying Ruxing's face suddenly darkened. She tried hard to break free from his restraints, but was held tightly by the man.

"Let go! If you don't let go I'll call the police!"

"Go ahead and tell them. I'll say you seduced me. Let's see if the police will believe me or you, who has so much dirt on you!"

"boom!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he was met with a fist that blew through him like the wind.

The fist smashed into the man's face, mixing it with blood and spitting it out.

He raised his head and glared fiercely at the person who did it.

But the moment he saw the other person, the cruel light in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless fear and astonishment.

"Sometimes, sometimes..."

Shi Jinyuan grabbed her wrist, and slowly pried her five fingers apart, then pulled her into his arms.

The burning body temperature instantly enveloped her, and the scent of cedar from the man's body blew on her face, giving her a sense of security.

"Director Fang is really a stubborn person who refuses to change." The man opened his thin lips slightly, his eyes as cold as an ice knife that seemed to pierce through him.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Director Fang shook his head. "I just saw Miss Ying alone and wanted to send her home. I definitely didn't have any other thoughts!"

"Mr. Shi, please forgive me this time!" He knelt on his knees, feeling extremely terrified.

"I really didn't know Miss Ying was you..."

Shi Jinyuan raised the corner of his mouth, his expression was cold, "Get lost!"

Without time to think, the man crawled away.

Ying Ruxing breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes and quickly glanced at the clasped hands, then raised her eyelids and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Rose asked me to pick you up."

Ying Ruxing clicked her tongue. She knew that Ning Meigui had arranged someone to pick her up, but she didn't know it was Shi Jinyuan.

"Let's go, the car is in front."

He held the person tightly, with no intention of letting go.

Ying Ruxing raised the corner of her mouth, "You just hit someone, are you okay?"

Shi Jinyuan paused, and she bumped into him unexpectedly, her nose touching his back, which felt sore.

Tears kept flowing out, and my eyes were red, like a rabbit that was bullied.

Her figure was reflected in his dark pupils. His eyes were like a bottomless lake. He smiled casually and said, "Who am I? How dare he go against me?"

Tears were about to well up in her eyes, but when she heard what he said, Ying Ruxing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The tension and anxiety from being harassed just now dissipated in an instant, and the tense body also relaxed.

Shi Jinyuan hooked her finger, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he said casually, "Hurry up."

"Oh." She responded muffledly and quickened her pace.
