Chapter 84: Chapter 61 Moved, really moved
La Family.
La Jingzhou had received the invitation.
He couldn’t help but slightly frown.
What a mess.
A cocktail party?
He had just returned from Luo City, and now, for a cocktail party, he should travel a thousand miles to be a guest of the Ye Family?
Did they think he was so idle?
Furthermore.
La Jingzhou didn’t have a hint of fondness for the Ye Family.
He even suspected behind closed doors that the previous incident was a conspiracy by the Ye Family.
This Ye Bingtong was the Ye Family’s foster daughter; without her, could Bai Shilan have been replaced?
Afterwards, the Ye Family so hypocritically kicked out Ye Bingtong, but what was the real truth?
Who knows!
It might well be a farce they orchestrated themselves.
As for the motive.
It was simple.
It was to poach Li Mingyu!
Just look at the final outcome, Li Mingyu signed with Xingguang Film and Television, and the Ye Family indeed became the ultimate winner, with their daughter Ye Xiao even becoming the final lead actress.
This family won big.
Now, seeing the invitation, La Jingzhou felt they were mocking him!
“Reply to the Ye Family, I won’t go,” La Jingzhou directly told his assistant.
The assistant had just acknowledged the order.
The office door was pushed open.
Liu Yan walked in with a smile, “Jingzhou, what are you saying? Not going? Not going where?”
La Jingzhou replied, “It’s nothing, just an invitation from the Ye Family.”
Liu Yan casually took the invitation and glanced at it, then said, “The Ye Family’s cocktail party, I heard they’ve invited celebrities from all walks of life, I also received an invitation, and I actually want to go have a look.”
La Jingzhou frowned, somewhat displeased, “The Ye Family went behind our backs and signed Li Mingyu, and you want to attend their cocktail party, isn’t that slapping my face?”
If it were before.
Hearing La Jingzhou’s stern scolding, Liu Yan would probably have already panicked, voluntarily giving up on her own accord.
But now.
Liu Yan just smiled, “Jingzhou, I think you’re overthinking it. So many companies threw olive branches to Li Mingyu, Xingguang Film and Television was just one among them.”
“Ha, this situation, it’s definitely not that simple. Wait until I investigate it clearly! But before then, you’re not allowed to attend any cocktail party,” La Jingzhou warned, looking at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, “I also think this matter is not that simple. You say, with so much dirt on Bai Shilan and it looked like she couldn’t be saved, why did Huanyu not terminate the contract with Bai Shilan but instead with Li Mingyu? There’s definitely an insider story to this. Huanyu also has investments from my Liu Family, I’m also planning to look into this matter. The invested money can’t just be mysteriously spent on whitewashing a risky artist, right, Jingzhou?”
Liu Yan said with implied meaning.
La Jingzhou’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but give Liu Yan a glance.
For a moment, he was uncertain.
Had Liu Yan found something, or was she truly just worried about the company’s interests?
It should be the latter.
This woman was infatuated with him; if she had discovered something about him and Shilan, she would probably have made a scene like a shrew the first chance she got instead of talking with him rationally as she was now.
La Jingzhou’s gaze shifted, and he managed a strained smile, “Xiaoyan, haven’t you always been unconcerned with these matters? Don’t worry, I’m here, when have I ever let investors lose their capital. Li Mingyu’s contract termination has nothing to do with Bai Shilan.”
“Is that so? I heard that Bai Shilan is in Luo City, I’m going to the Ye Family’s cocktail party, and I can also take the opportunity to meet her. After all, she is also a face of our company, I need to see if she is indeed a ticking time bomb,” Liu Yan replied with a smile.
La Jingzhou was clearly starting to panic.
He knew it!
Why Liu Yan suddenly wanted to go to Luo City.
She was not going to the Ye Family’s cocktail party at all; she was going because of Bai Shilan.
La Jingzhou absolutely did not want them to meet; he quickly said, “Bai Shilan is just an employee, not worth your personal visit, Xiaoyan. Are you perhaps too bored recently? How about this, I’ll accompany you to the Ye Family’s cocktail party this time and then entertain you in Luo City for a while. As for work-related issues, leave everything to me.”
Liu Yan listened to these excuses, wanting to sneer inwardly, but she still showed a gentle smile, “Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
La Jingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He still had many things for which he needed the support of the Liu Family, and at this stage, he absolutely couldn’t let Liu Yan detect anything amiss.
La Jingzhou thought of something and suddenly asked, “By the way, Xiaoyan, about that person you mentioned last time, your uncle had originally promised to introduce me within these few days. But whenever I beat around the bush, why does he always dodge the question and refuse to agree?”
The Liu Family was an old esteemed family of Lin City, with connections and resources at the very top level.
The La Family was considered an outsider, whether in the entertainment industry or in Lin City, their foundation wasn’t deep. If not for the Liu Family’s support these past few years, his business empire definitely wouldn’t have developed so smoothly.
Therefore.
He could only wrong Bai Shilan by being superficially ingratiating with Liu Yan.
Every time he thought of how long Bai Shilan had been with him without proper recognition, La Jingzhou felt a surge of heartache.
However. Such days wouldn’t last too long.
Once he took over everything from the Liu Family, he would be able to be with Shilan openly and rightfully.
Thinking of Bai Shilan, La Jingzhou’s gaze softened for a moment.
The moment Liu Yan saw La Jingzhou’s expression, she knew what he was thinking and suppressed the anger in her heart, smiling as she said, “There’s only one daughter in the Liu Family, and you are the husband I’ve chosen. Isn’t everything of the Liu Family yours? Don’t worry, when the right time comes, my father will definitely make the connection for you.”
La Jingzhou, feeling reassured, nodded his head.
Everyone in Lin City knew.
Liu Yan was deeply infatuated with him.
She wholeheartedly wanted to marry him.
As long as this didn’t change, the support from the Liu Family would also remain unchanged.
Perhaps the timing really wasn’t right lately.
“You continue with your work; I’ll get going. Remember to arrange the plane for the day of the reception,” Liu Yan said.
La Jingzhou nodded in response.
It wasn’t until Liu Yan had left.
That a trace of coldness involuntarily flashed in his eyes.
Hah.
The Ye Family!
No matter if the Ye Family was behind this or not, they had already been added to his grudge list.
If that was the case.
It would be good to pay a visit.
That day, he was supposed to spend the whole day with Liu Yan. Jingzhou thought for a moment and sent a message to Bai Shilan.
“Shilan, don’t text or call me on the 15th,” he wrote.
Then, he waited for Bai Shilan to question him as usual, asking if he was going to see Liu Yan again.
Then he would patiently soothe her, and the matter would be over.
But this time.
Bai Shilan did not make a fuss.
Instead.
She eagerly replied with a “Okay.”
What a joke! That day was the day of the Ye Family’s banquet, where she was busy spending a wonderful evening with Ye Lin.
She had been worried that La Jingzhou might suddenly seek her out.
Now, on the contrary, the issue had resolved itself.
La Jingzhou was somewhat dazed by her brisk attitude and couldn’t help asking, “You’re not going to make a scene?”
Bai Shilan immediately put on a very understanding look, “Jingzhou, I know. You’re with Liu Yan for our future. For my sake this time, you didn’t hesitate to let go of Li Mingyu, don’t I know your heart? Rest assured, I won’t be a drag on you. I’ll stay right where I am, waiting for you to look back at me.”
Seeing Bai Shilan’s deeply affectionate demeanor, La Jingzhou was thoroughly moved.
His Shilan was indeed so understanding, understanding to the point that it pained his heart.
It was time to deal with the Liu Family sooner rather than later; he didn’t want to wrong Shilan any longer.
“Wait for me obediently,” La Jingzhou sent just this message, feeling warmth in his heart.
