Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Xiang Lin's decisions weren't made abruptly. He carefully thought of what he must do. The blank check given to him was only a means to give her an answer whether he would side with her or not.

Of course, he was still feeling a little bit hesitant since he didn't know what she would do to him once she was finished using him, but in contrast to Feng Huai, Ran Xueyi will give him an advantage and many opportunities will open for him.

"Feng Huai... It wasn't me who was heartless. It was what you originally deserved." Xiang Lin's eyes looked forlorn as he took out his phone and called the number he got from Ran Xueyi.

Soon after waiting a few seconds, it was picked up, "Hello, this is Xiang Lin."

...

A few days later.

Ran Xueyi glanced at herself in the mirror. A few stylists surrounded her with different styling equipment in their hands. The smell of powder and scented perfumes wafted into the air.

"Isn't this better than that?"

"No, I think this might look better if we pair it with her gown."

"This pair of earrings is already worn by another actress. We need another pair; the prettier and more diamond, the better!"

"Wait, the lipstick color might clash with her dress."

Tonight, at 8pm, the All-Star Night Gala will happen. It was a prominent gala where all A-list to 7th-tier actors and celebrities were invited to attend to show the world that the country's entertainment industry were still united despite the online fights that said that artists cannot mingle with another agency's artist.

Moreover, several sponsors and investors of the event were also present. This was a perfect place for someone who was in need for more exposure and opportunities to go to. Unfortunately, even though it was said that all A-list to 7th-tier stars are invited, only those who were really invited to attend knew the truth that only the selected few ones could go.

Those who didn't receive an invitation, however, can buy their way into the event through paying some of the organizers in secret. Of course, only a few could do it because the money they had to pay to buy an invitation directly from one of the organizers was higher.

But there was another method to join the event...

"By the way, I don't know what's going on between Mr. He and Miss Tang."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"I heard they already broke up and both are engaged to their own respective lovers, but it seems that Mr. He brought Miss Tang as his partner tonight."

Ran Xueyi initially didn't want to join in the gossip, but when she heard the names, she couldn't help but think it sounded familiar.

"Really? That's crazy. Are they announcing to the public that they threw away their lovers to be together again? Isn't that a bit too scummy?"

"I know. I also think they're being too much."

The stylists around her continued the topic, but as they proceeded, they noticed that Ran Xueyi was also listening to their discussion.

They quickly shut their mouths as they remembered that Ran Xueyi was once linked to He Gui. However, it was unclear what their real relationship was because no one stepped forward to clear or admit the rumors after they were captured entering the same restaurant.

-n0ve1、com Seeing their gazes turning to look at her, Ran Xueyi didn't scold them for talking about the personal matters of other people in front of her.

She smiled at them and said, "This topic is indeed interesting... But don't forget that no wall can be too thick for ears to listen to."

She reminded them not to talk too loudly or spread what they were gossiping about just now so they won't get involved in troublesome matters.

Previously, they thought that Ran Xueyi would be angry and scream at them. They expected her to show some reaction, but seeing her expressionless face and her uninterested way of speaking, they sighed in relief.

It seems that there really was nothing going on between Mr. He and Ran Xueyi.

The rumors about her lying to everyone about her marriage and being Mr. He's mistress was unbelievable. If it were true, Ran Xueyi would be the first to react when she heard that Mr. He came to the gala with Miss Tang.

After almost an hour, Ran Xueyi was done dressing up for the event. When the stylists left and only Ran Xueyi and one trusted stylist was inside the dressing room, Adelle approached her with a smartphone in her hand and captured some photos to send to Xiao Zhanzhan, who couldn't come with her.

They had been staying at Paradise City while filming for the film <Unholy Desires> for a few days now. Getting away from that place and going to an event like this was a refreshing idea to relax.

...

Thirty minutes later, the car drove up to the venue.

The path towards the entrance of the building was fenced on each side where the fans and reporters would stand to admire and take pictures of the actors and idols who walked on the red carpet.

Since a lot of celebrities attended the event, there was a long line of cars. They awaited their turn to park in front of the official pathway to the red carpet.

'Click!'

'Click!'

Even inside the car, the flashes of cameras could be heard from inside their cars.

Inside one of these cars, Tang Jian's lips couldn't stop lifting in triumph. A good-looking man wearing a suit and a cold expression on his face sat in the other seat.

"Babe, are you still angry? Don't be mad, alright? My mother just didn't want to break our two families' ties so she suggested that I be partnered with you for tonight's event." Tang Jian slowly scooted closer to his side. But just as she was about to touch the hem of his sleeves, He Gui coldly took away his arm and avoided her touch.

"Miss Tang, please do not call me that." He Gui's icy voice traveled to her ears.

Hearing him, Tang Jian's eyes gleamed as tears pooled inside it. "He Gui, are you going to move on? Our time together was so great, are you really just going to forget them?"

"I know I was wrong for pursuing what I like over our relationship, but aren't you being too much? Are you really going to marry that country bumpkin and leave me? If you want to marry her then you shouldn't have agreed to come with me for tonight's event!"

"Miss Tang!"

Tang Jian jumped at the loudness of his voice.

"Let me remind you that it wasn't me who wanted to come to this place with you. I planned to not attend it, but you chose to meet and threaten my mother that you will kill yourself if I don't take you tonight because you weren't chosen as one of the guests." He Gui felt like all his previous feelings for Tang Jian were all wasted. Where was the girl he thought was reasonable and gentle?

A few days ago, he received a call from his mother that Tang Jian made an attempt to kill herself. No one knows the reason behind her abrupt actions, but everyone thought that it was because of him. Their social group knew how much Tang Jian obsessed over him after he announced he was getting married to Yin Rui.

He Gui was going to ignore this matter. Even if he was her former fiance, Tang Jian's matter was no longer connected to him.

But who could have known that his mother, who called him and got a negative response from him, actually went to look for his cousin, who was the former prime minister. His cousin then messaged him to check on the young miss of the Tang family and coax her into a proper closure.

Although He Gui didn't want to listen to anyone, his cousin got involved and there was no way he could ignore this.

In the end, He Gui called Tang Jian's brother and told him to stop his sister from doing anything unreasonable as he didn't want to deal with Tang Jian directly because he thought it was inappropriate. Besides, he didn't want to hurt his current fiance because of Tang Jian's selfish actions.

But who would have thought that the real reason why Tang Jian threatened everyone was because she didn't get an invite as one of the attendees to the All-Star Night Gala.

Tang Jian felt like she was being slapped in her face because she was ashamed of her previous actions. But when she thought of the recent rumors, she couldn't help but complain.

"You already know the truth anyway so why don't you just enjoy our time together? Or what? Could it be that you are disappointed that you couldn't bring someone else?"

"What are you talking about?" He Gui frowned.

Tang Jian looked away angrily, "Hmph! Don't think I haven't heard about the rumors about you and that slut Ran Xueyi! You two met each other in a restaurant and got photographed together."

When he heard this, the impatience and anger that had been bubbling inside of him increased.
