Yang Chen wasn't surprised by Liu Yanxi's reaction. He also didn't expect Liu Yanxi to tell the truth about the matter so easily. Interrogation was just a way to probe.
Standing up, he patted his butt. Yang Chen smiled and said, "Since Miss Liu is so worried about our safety, then we will leave now. Take care of yourself, Miss Liu. Don't let such a small matter affect your mood. The concert has to continue. This was the first time a concert had been held in China, so let's not make it so that everyone would have to withdraw their tickets in the end. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring enough bodyguards. "
"I don't need you to remind me." Liu Yanxi said sullenly with a low voice.
Yang Chen didn't ask any more questions and walked out of the dressing room first.
Lin Ruoxi bid farewell to Liu Yanxi politely and walked out the same direction as Yang Chen.
As the two of them walked side by side in the passageway, Lin Ruoxi's expression did not look too good. She had pretty much sorted out her thoughts after what had just happened.
From a certain perspective, she and Liu Yanxi were saved by Yang Chen just now. Even if Yang Chen had made it look like a bizarre movie story, magically knowing that the champagne was poisonous and that it was really poisoned, nothing bad had happened because of the poison in the end. The assistant's performance had proven that the champagne just now was poisonous. From start to finish, it was all a self-directed act of the man.
Lin Ruoxi could not help but recall that night when Yang Chen blocked a savage truck with his bare hands. The shocking scene was still vivid in her mind. What she saw this time was another extraordinary ability.
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Lin Ruoxi asked in a low voice.
Yang Chen was thinking about what just happened and heard Lin Ruoxi's question. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Isn't it fine?"
"Other than you knowing that you're fine, who else knows?" Lin Ruoxi sneered, "Is it really that fun to scare me? Do you think it's good to see me cry? "
Yang Chen was stunned and was unable to say a word. He wanted to explain, but was unable to do so.
Lin Ruoxi thought Yang Chen had only agreed. A hint of bitterness flashed across her eyes. She bit her lips and said: "I know you're not ordinary. I also know that you won't tell me everything about you. But if you think it's interesting to deceive me and scare me, then I have nothing to say. In your eyes, I'm just a substitute. "
Substitute?
Yang Chen became even more confused, not knowing what Lin Ruoxi meant by that, he hurriedly asked, "Ruoxi, what's wrong with you? I admit that I'm a bit sorry for putting on such a temporary act, but time is of the essence, I don't have much time to explain myself. But how can I use you as a substitute? "What do you mean?"
Lin Ruoxi turned her head away, unwilling to say more. Her expression returned to its usual tranquil state, and was even colder than usual.
Yang Chen felt a bit depressed in his heart and frowned. He thought that he could explain it to Lin Ruoxi after her anger subsided.
On the way back to the car, Lin Ruoxi thought Yang Chen was still air and didn't spit out a single word. Luckily, Yang Chen was used to being silent, so he felt depressed as he couldn't understand this series of things.
Although they arrived home later than usual, Nanny Wang had told them before that it was time for dinner.
However, what made the two of them slightly suspicious was that a guest had come to their house. A black Audi and a white Porsche Cayenne were parked quietly in front of their house.
Yang Chen subconsciously felt it and was immediately puzzled. He couldn't understand why someone familiar would come to his house.
Lin Ruoxi didn't think much of it and got out of the car. She opened the door and walked in.
In the living room, the rich fragrance of the dishes was drifting in the air. However, the people in the house were not sitting at the dining table. They were all sitting around the sofa in the living room, discussing something.
Other than Guo Xuehua, Nanny Wang, and Zhen Xiu, Christine had also come to the house diligently. What made Lin Ruoxi happy was that Hui Lin, who had just finished yesterday's finals, had also returned home.
Because of her overtime work and schedule, although Lin Ruoxi knew that Hui Lin's finals was held yesterday, she couldn't watch it live. She only watched some scenes from the live broadcast and wanted to congratulate Hui Lin, but Hui Lin couldn't return home.
However, the mature woman, Senior Nun Yun Miao, who was quietly sitting beside Hui Lin, restrained the smile that Lin Ruoxi was about to reveal.
Ever since she knew that Lin Zhiguo had "passed away", Lin Ruoxi thought that she wouldn't have anything to do with Lin Family other than Hui Lin. In fact, after she mixed in Ning Guangyao's information, she didn't even dare to think about her own background.
However, Senior Nun Yun Miao's reappearance caused many wounds to surface in her heart. She stood at the door, lost in thought.
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Guo Xuehua stood up with a smile and said cordially: "Ruoxi has returned. Look, Madam Lin has come to see Hui Lin, and you should have met her before. Miss Christine must have sent her home. If not for Miss Christine, Hui Lin, the champion of the Yu Lei Star, would have been surrounded by reporters."
Christine, who was as radiant as usual, chuckled and said, "Yesterday's finals, Yang Chen and Miss Lin were not even present, so I had to personally help Hui Lin. I also went to Miss Lin's house to get another meal for dinner, so it shouldn't be too much for them."
At this time, Yang Chen also followed them into the house. When he saw the women in the house, he first glanced at Christine helplessly, then walked in front of Hui Lin and Senior Nun Yun Miao with a smile and said, "Hui Lin's grandma is here, it's such a rare sight. Did you especially come to congratulate Hui Lin when you saw her win the championship? "
Because in public, Senior Nun Yun Miao's identity was just the mistress of Yanjing, so it was not easy to call her by her dao name.
Yun Miao looked at Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Recently, I have some matters to attend to abroad. Before leaving the country, I came to visit my only granddaughter. I didn't really pay much attention to Hui Lin's participation in the competition. You should be well aware that I personally do not support Hui Lin in walking down this path. "
Hui Lin, who was sitting at the side, lowered her head dejectedly when she heard Yun Miao's words, but didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Chen twitched his mouth helplessly. This old nun really didn't know how to talk, so he reached out his hand to touch Hui Lin's hair, "What are you lowering your head for? Isn't it just your grandma who doesn't support you? Our entire family supports you. Don't you have countless fans now?"
Hui Lin raised her head and was touched by Yang Chen in front of everyone. She felt her cheeks turn hot, but her eyes were filled with gratitude. Her heart was warm and her nervously beating faster.
"Cough cough." Yun Miao glared angrily at Yang Chen, "Who allowed you to caress my granddaughter's head so casually!?"
Yang Chen chuckled, "Don't be angry too, isn't this child needing encouragement?"
"Hui Lin is no longer a child!" Yun Miao said solemnly.
Yang Chen ignored her and sat on the other side of Hui Lin, saying, "Yesterday, Brother Yang had some business with me, so he just went to the television station in the afternoon to check on the finals' progress. You went out with the other two contestants to advertise and didn't see it. At night, I brought dinner for your sister who likes to work overtime, but I didn't make it to the live broadcast, so I didn't come to the scene to cheer you on. However, I am very clear that with your strength, it is still a piece of cake for you to be the champion. "
Hui Lin quickly shook her head and whispered, "It's alright, I know Brother Yang and sister are busy."
Lin Ruoxi, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Christine at this moment and greeted her with a nod. She pulled Hui Lin's hand, patted it gently and said with a smile. She said, "Sister should also congratulate you. Next up, we'll be waiting to listen to our Hui Lin haircut and have a concert."
"Okay." Hui Lin smiled sweetly. The shock she felt from Senior Nun Yun Miao just now had cleared the dark clouds.
When Senior Nun Yun Miao saw Hui Lin and Lin Ruoxi looking at each other as if they were sisters, the complicated thoughts in her eyes became even more harmonious. She then let out a faint sigh.
"Alright, alright. If you keep congratulating us like this, then let's congratulate our future superstar while we eat!" Nanny Wang's face was full of joy. After all, it was rare to see such a lively house, and it just so happened to be a happy occasion.
Christine was the first to nod in agreement. She bluntly sat down at the table, causing Yang Chen to feel depressed again. He thought to himself that this woman should go back to America quickly.
However, Senior Nun Yun Miao didn't seem like she was going to sit over there. She said coldly, "I won't be eating. I came here not only to meet Hui Lin, but also to discuss something with Yang Chen."
Yang Chen, who was about to sit down, stopped and said with a wry smile, "Say, Hui Lin's grandma, do you really have to pick up the time to have a meeting with me?"
However, Senior Nun Yun Miao didn't buy it. She walked straight to the door and said, "I'll wait for you in the yard."
Yang Chen bared his teeth as he shook his head and sighed. He signaled for the women to eat first and followed Senior Nun Yun Miao out into the yard.
The sky outside was now completely dark, and no one could see the stars in the gray sky of the city. Only the white lights on the walls in the distance illuminated this small area. The yard was quiet, and except for the rustling of the wind in the grass above the treetops, the breathing was clear.
Senior Nun Yun Miao waited for Yang Chen to walk behind her. She didn't wait for Yang Chen to speak and directly said, "You will be going to Paris in the next few days."
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't think that Yun Miao would be talking about this matter, but it wasn't surprising that Senior Nun Yun Miao knew about it. After all, any place he was at should be a matter that the Chinese Iron Brigade was concerned about.
Nodding without hesitation, he said, "I have to go to Paris Fashion Week in early April. Sigh, Ruoxifei told me to go, so I had to pretend I didn't understand and talk about fashion with them."
"Don't play dumb with me, Paris Fashion Week? Hmph, do those things have anything to do with you? You are also participating in the assembly like me. Do you think that I do not know about it? " Yun Miao turned around and said unhappily.
"General Assembly?" Yang Chen was stunned again, "What general meeting?"
Seeing that Yang Chen was really confused and didn't know anything, Senior Nun Yun Miao gradually realized something. She asked in disbelief, "You really aren't going to participate in this' International Special Organization Conference '?"
