Xing Muliu found a corner and sat down quietly, watching everything in the venue with cold eyes.

Xing Muliu has a keen observation ability, and soon she noticed the same thing. The engagement banquet is about to start, but at this time, the hero and heroine are not seen, which is not normal.

Xing Muliu was puzzled in her heart. Even though she was sitting in a quiet corner, she still attracted the attention of most people in the venue. There were lustful and curious eyes from men, and envious and jealous eyes from women.

"Beauty, can I buy you a glass of wine?" Xing Muliu had a man beside him who couldn't hold back anymore, so he acted first.

Xing Muliu raised his wine glass and politely drank a glass with the man who came to strike up a conversation. Seeing that Xing Muliu did not refuse, the man sat opposite her and began to chat with Xing Muliu.

Xing Muliu's mind was not on this man, but he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the set, so he dealt with it one after another.

Xing Muliu didn't believe that after yesterday's flower shop incident, Bai Zhining would not react at all, pretending that nothing happened and continue to get engaged to Xia Jingqiao.

In fact, she was the one who proposed to Xia Yaoqi last night to let him take Xia Jingqiao to a carnival night.

Xia Yaoqi has always respected and worshiped Xing Muliu, but he did not follow suit, and did not doubt Xing Muliu's intentions.

Xia Jingqiao was discussing countermeasures inside, and his parents were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and everyone's voices kept coming from outside.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

"That's right, isn't the time already up? What's going on?"

Xia Yaoqi also rushed to the engagement banquet at this time. Although it was not his own engagement banquet, it seemed unreasonable for him to come so late. When he came, he was already mentally prepared. His mother would definitely Like a monk chanting scriptures, he babbled in his ear.

But when he came over, the engagement banquet hadn't started yet, and sharp-eyed reporters saw him, stopped his way, and wanted to ask him a few questions.

"Today is your brother Xia Jingqiao's engagement banquet, when will it be your turn?" The reporter friend knew that today's atmosphere was more pleasant, so he didn't want to make things difficult for Xia Yaoqi.

Xia Yaoqi put on a standard smile, and politely answered the reporter: "I, it's still early, and I'm still focusing on my career. As for the engagement, it depends on fate."

The reporter friend still didn't let Xia Yaoqi go, and continued to ask him questions.Xia Yaoqi had no choice but to divert his attention.

"Today's protagonist is my elder brother Xia Jingqiao. I hope you will ask him more questions. I am only a supporting role. This is also respect for him, and thank you for your concern for me."

After staying in the entertainment industry for a while, Xia Yaoqi has learned to deal with the official set of words of the reporter and the media. He still remembers that when he first started, the flashing lights in front of the camera seemed to be hiding, and he always felt dazzling.

Now I'm used to it, and I understand more and more the rules of the game in the entertainment circle, and I'm as confused as a fish in water.

Xia Yaoqi arrived at the back and saw his family's anxious faces, so he learned what had happened, and he joined the army to find a way.

"Today's engagement banquet will definitely be held. All the guests are here. How about this? Find someone with a similar figure to Bai Zhining to pretend to be her, change into a dress with a veil, show your face, and use your body Hiding under the excuse of discomfort, so as to see if I can get away with it.”

Xia Yaoqi had the most spooky ideas, and Lin Shuying felt that this method was not impossible, but it would be embarrassing if someone debunked it.

Xia Jingqiao vetoed this idea.

First of all, he didn't know Bai Zhining's thoughts. If she didn't want to get engaged to him, or would never have any relationship with him in the future, wouldn't doing so ruin her reputation?

Second, this is an act of deceiving everyone. Not only is it embarrassing to expose it, but it also hurts to say it, and I feel uneasy about my conscience.The Xia family has a great career, but they do this kind of thing that violates benevolence and justice.

Xia Jingqiao's father also disagreed with using deceitful means to exchange for the dignity of the family. The matter has come to this point, it is better to admit it heartily, which is also a brave man's demeanor.

It was past 12:30, and the guests who came were sitting on the table waiting for the food to be served, their stomachs were already growling with hunger, and finally saw the actor Xia Jingqiao come out.

The suit is straight and the face is good-looking, but there is a little less festive feeling. There are only male protagonists but no female protagonists. This engagement banquet seems a bit wrong.

The guests were already talking about it, and some people were dissatisfied that the engagement banquet was delayed, and those who did business lost the opportunity to discuss business.

"Please be quiet, be quiet." Xia Jingqiao stood in the center of the stage holding a microphone.His face was solemn, knowing that it would be difficult to say these words.

The venue fell silent, and everyone was eagerly waiting for Xia Jingqiao's next speech.

"First of all, thank you all for coming to my engagement banquet in spite of your busy schedule. Today was originally the engagement banquet for myself and Ms. Bai Zhining, but due to some unknown reasons, our heroine today, Bai Zhining, disappeared. Not sure what prompted her absence, but I'm sure we'll be able to deal with it.

So today's engagement banquet had to be cancelled, and I wasted everyone's time. Xia is very sorry, I hope everyone can forgive me, and the luncheon is about to start, please enjoy your drink, the place where the hospitality is not good , please forgive me. "

The people below sighed after hearing that the heroine Bai Zhining had disappeared.

Xing Muliu had the feeling that she was succeeding in a trick. As expected, she did not misunderstand Bai Zhining, so she knew that she would not be able to figure it out, so she did not come to the engagement banquet.

Xiao Lei and Zou Xiaorong were not idle either, spreading bad news about Bai Zhining at the venue.

Friends from the reporters were happiest when they heard the news. Recently, the entertainment industry has been rather dull, and there hasn’t been a special news to disturb it for a long time. Now this news can probably be used as a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

Most of the guests didn't mind if the heroine was absent, they cared more about whether the food was delicious. Of course, there were also voices of ridicule. Xia Jingqiao's parents apologized to those distinguished guests who were specially invited with a smile on their faces.

Xia Jingqiao felt very uncomfortable.Originally, I wanted to settle the matter earlier, so as not to add so much trouble to myself, but now, the problem of funding for the work has not been resolved, and I have made a lot of gossip.

I don't know if this matter will draw others' attention to Lingda Group. If so, it would be a bit bad. I also hope that the engagement will not affect the development of the company.

After seeing off the guests with great difficulty, the smile on Xia Jingqiao's face had already stiffened. Now that the matter has come to an end, he really can't control what others think.

Bai Zhining was hiding in a farmhouse in the city.

She didn't rest all night last night, and was struggling with this problem repeatedly. She hated to be sure that she couldn't get engaged to Xia Jingqiao without knowing it, so she took a taxi and left home before dawn.

This farmhouse is the place she wanted to take a vacation early in the morning. Because she was busy with work before, she had no time and no leisure. She thought that she would not feel lonely when she came here with someone. Now she happened to come here alone. A moment of quietness can also sort out your mood and clear your mind.

It's not that she didn't think about the consequences of doing this. Xia Jingqiao is so concerned about face, he will definitely be very sad, and his family, Lin Shuying didn't like her in the first place. Now that this is staged again, it is estimated that she will never forgive her in this life up.

Bai Zhining is still thinking about how to make up for the damage caused by her escape, but Bai Zhining is not sure whether she can continue walking with Xia Jingqiao.

Or there is no need to please Xia Jingqiao's family at all, and they will be their own families from now on without interfering with each other.

The farmhouse is located at the foot of a mountain with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Bai Zhining couldn't sleep. When she thought that the people she hurt were the ones she loved, she felt panicked.

She had to go outside for a walk, breathe the fresh air, and watch the warm winter sun shine on the trees and pass through the clouds, like a brave little soldier.

There is a mountain in front, the mountain is full of thorns, Bai Zhining stays at the foot of the mountain, there is a small stream next to it, the water in the stream is crystal clear, if it is not because of the cold winter, she really wants to jump down to catch fish.

In the stream, a group of ducks were playing in the water, looking carefree, but they didn't know that their fate was to be slaughtered for dinner.

Next to the creek is a rice field. At this time, there are no crops in the field. There are rice piles in the middle of the rice field, stacked high, like a watchman of the rice field.

There are a few naughty children rolling in the field. They don't worry that their clothes will be soiled by the soil in the field, and their faces are full of youthful willfulness and freedom.

Not far away, there are a few peasant uncles grazing cattle. Their cattle went to the mountains to find food, and they gathered around chatting and bragging. Later, they got bored, and I don’t know who took a pair of them out of their pockets. Playing cards, several people formed a circle and played poker.

It doesn't matter whether their cattle have crossed the mountain or not, they are engrossed in playing cards, with a smile on their faces.

Bai Zhining envied this kind of life, here is not far from the city, but life is completely different from that in big cities, there are no high-rise buildings of cement and concrete buildings, no busy streets, and no fast-paced life, everyone is in a hurry Busy walking on the road.

But the people here live so briskly.

Perhaps the reason why people are troubled is because they have too many desires.

Bai Zhining looked at the people around her, and her thoughts went back to the days when she and her mother lived in the country a long time ago. At that time, the family was poor, but because of her mother by her side, she lived happily and contentedly.
