C16 The Sudden Announcement of the Banquet

Su Xiaomi stood on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor. The wet and cool wind blew on her face and made her feel comfortable. She narrowed her eyes and looked as lazy as a cat.

Thinking of the unbearable dinner just now, she lost her appetite.

No matter what, even if Su Ziyue and Su's mother did not like her, she had to stay here.

And the next step was to investigate the true culprit who drugged her.

Su Xiaomi blew a cool breeze and remembered that she still had proper business to do. She turned around and closed the two European milky-white doors. The curtains also quieted down.

Su Xiaomi dragged her swollen legs and walked to the wooden door opposite the dressing table. When she pushed open the door, she smelled a familiar smell of ink and paint.

She entered the compartment and closed the door.

Sitting in front of the painting rack, Su Xiaomi bit the handle of the brush and tied her long hair into a ponytail. Then she took the brush and swept it into the water. She dipped it in dark paint and pulled off the cloth covering the painting rack.

There was an elegant young man standing on the painting. He was in his youth.

This person was Shen Jibei.

Su Xiaomi's drawing of Shen Jibei had nothing to do with her being a mangaka. She only did it because she liked it. It was very nice to mix her favorite things with her favorite people.

The brush was dyed on the canvas, spinning, and repeatedly sweeping back and forth. Shen Jibei's appearance became clearer and clearer, and his facial features became deeper and deeper.

Su Xiaomi merely drew according to her heart's wishes, but when the painting was completed, the painting was not what she thought it would be.

She took the brush away and stood up to step back so that she could appreciate the painting more thoroughly and intuitively.

Why did the person in the painting not feel like Shen Jibei?

The person in front of her was indeed Shen Jibei's appearance, but his expression was not like his. In reality, he wouldn't reveal such an indifferent expression, and what was with that look of disdain in his eyes?

Could it be?

"Damn it, isn't this Ou Mingjue's expression?" Su Xiaomi cried out in shock. Her expression could no longer remain calm. She did not want to believe that the person in front of her looked like Ou Mingjue. But that was the truth!

That was impossible. It must have been because she had spent too much time with Ou Mingjue these past few days that she had been hallucinating. After all, she had been with him everywhere these past few days.

Su Xiaomi kept giving herself psychological hints and even nodded her head in agreement. She felt that she had been in the cage for a long time and had become silly.

Although it was already a foregone conclusion, Su Xiaomi still felt unwilling in her heart. She tried to change the facial features and appearance of the character again, but in the end, it was still useless.

Helpless, she could only tear down the canvas and throw it into the trash basket. She also threw the brush to the side in frustration.

Su Xiaomi's drawing did not succeed. She turned around and sat in front of the computer, deciding to finish the script of the manga first. The last time her script stopped at the main character's luxurious ball.

If it was not for the script of this ball, Su Xiaomi would not have attended the banquet, much less drink that cup of watermelon juice that had been drugged.

She hated that banquet to the core.

She angrily deleted that part of the story and before she could continue writing, the computer beside the computer rang. The landline was connected to the landline in the lobby downstairs.

It rang a few times but did not stop. Su Xiaomi impatiently answered, "Hello?"

Her voice was very soft, so she was not heard. And it was not just a person's voice that came from the phone, but a conversation between two people.

Then they didn't need her.

Just as she was thinking of hanging up the phone, she heard the words "Su Xiaomi. " It was still Su Ziyue who spoke, "You are looking for Su Xiaomi? Do you need something from her?"

"You just need to be in charge of calling her over. You don't have to worry about the rest. " Ou Mingjue's voice was even colder than usual.

Even Su Ziyue, who could not stand being ordered by others, could not help but yield. "I know. I will ask the maid to call her over. "

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a period of silence mixed with a rustling sound.

After a moment, Su Ziyue opened her mouth again. Her tone was filled with curiosity. "By the way, I haven't asked who you are yet. You are so eager to hear Su Xiaomi's voice?"

Su Xiaomi could not be clearer about her thoughts.

In order to not let Su Ziyue get what she wanted, before the maid came to call her, she got up first and pushed open the door of the studio. She endured the pain in her ankle and quickly left the room.

Coincidentally Mrs. Chen also rushed up to call her and the two of them bumped into each other. Mrs. Chen did not even have time to catch her breath before she quickly informed her, "Second Lady, there is a gentleman downstairs who called to look for you and did not reveal his name and identity. "

"I know. " Su Xiaomi hurriedly replied and rushed downstairs. She intended to stop Su Ziyue and Ou Mingjue from talking as much as possible. She did not believe that Su Ziyue would be so obedient and not ask anything.

From afar, she could see Su Ziyue's arm on the tripod. She held a European style microphone in her hand and smiled from the side, as if she was having a good conversation with the person on the phone.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiaomi was angry in her heart. She walked behind her and grabbed the microphone. She cursed at the microphone in a deep voice, "Enough! I already said that this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't bother me anymore. "

After saying that, she felt that something was strange.

Rustling sounds came from the other end of the phone. Su Xiaomi could not hear it clearly, but she did not hang up because she knew that Ou Mingjue still had something to say.

Sure enough, his sinister voice came from the other end of the phone. It was cold and magnetic. "One day, you will realize that only I am your only reliance. The others are all liars. "

Damn it, did he think he was God?

"You are the biggest liar!" Su Xiaomi retorted excitedly. Before he could react, she hung up the phone. Because of her anger, her chest heaved up and down heavily.

Releasing the hand that was holding the phone, she turned her head and looked at Su Ziyue who was standing by the side with her arms crossed. She asked expressionlessly, "Did he say anything to you just now?"

Su Ziyue shrugged and pretended not to know.

Since that was the case, Su Xiaomi did not force Su Ziyue to go around her and walk upstairs. In just two or three steps, Su Ziyue caught up to her and asked, "But what is your relationship with him? Could it be that I guessed correctly?"

Su Xiaomi turned her head to glance at her and still had that cold expression, "I think this should have nothing to do with you. You better not ask a few questions or else you will get into trouble and don't blame me. "

Su Xiaomi rarely did this to her so Su Ziyue did not know what to do for a moment and could only stare blankly as she watched her leave.

Because of Ou Mingjue, Su Xiaomi was so worried that she could not sleep the whole night, afraid that Ou Mingjue would suddenly appear by her side.

This was not something a human could do. No, she no longer believed that Ou Mingjue was a human.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was about to brighten. The heavy curtains could not cover the radiance outside the window. Su Xiaomi laid flat on the bed and suddenly sat up. She lifted the blanket and got off the bed.

When Su Xiaomi went downstairs, Su's father just finished breakfast and walked out of the restaurant. He met her face to face. Su Xiaomi greeted him, "Dad, good morning. "

As usual, Su's father just nodded his head and looked away. He turned around and walked towards the door. Su's mother was already waiting there. Today, she was still wearing the cheongsam, but she changed the embroidery from a phoenix to a peony.

Su Xiaomi stood on the last step and did not leave but also did not go forward to greet her.

"Right, you should dress up tonight before coming out. There is a banquet at home tonight. I am afraid that you still do not know the situation. " Su's father suddenly turned around and instructed Su Xiaomi. Once he finished speaking, he turned around and left in large strides.

Banquet?

Su Xiaomi was confused and could not ask Su's mother about the specific situation. Who knew how she would make fun of her. But this did not have much of an impact on her. Anyway, the family's banquet seldom allowed her to attend.

She stayed in Su family like an outsider.

Su Xiaomi did not care, but Su Ziyue did. Usually at this time of the day, she was still sleeping at home but today, she got up in the middle of the night and stayed in the changing room for a few hours.

The man who called last night claimed that he was Shen Jibei's assistant and wanted to ask her to hold a banquet in Su family. At that time, he would let her see a good show. This was a birthday gift from Shen Jibei.

However, these words could not be heard by Su Xiaomi.

When Su Ziyue thought that Shen Jibei cared about her so much, Su Ziyue could not hide her smile. The corner of her mouth almost reached her ears but she still did not feel tired. She just wanted to let her try clothes for more than ten hours. Maybe her smile was still hanging on her face.

After picking and picking for a few hours, Su Ziyue finally picked a goose yellow dress. She threw the dress to the maid to wash it. The phone on the floor rang.

It was the number from last night again.

"Hello, are you Shen Jibei's assistant?" It was rare for Su Ziyue to speak so gently. She wished she could get his assistant as well. It would be more convenient for her to do things in the future.

It was very quiet on the other end of the phone. The man's voice was also dull, as if he was talking in a cage. "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

He had already prepared the gift.

"Don't worry. I have already told my dad to hold the banquet tonight and informed Su Xiaomi. " Su Ziyue laughed lightly as she sat on the sofa. She stretched out her left hand and placed it on her knees to let the nail technician beautify her face.

On the other side, the nail technician only lightly scratched her nails. Her expression immediately changed as she angrily stared at the nail technician. On the other side of the phone, there was no reply for a long time, but she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "May I ask if there is anything else you need me to do?"

"No need. Remember, you must let Su Xiaomi come. " That man's voice was low, but it was magnetic and had the power to frighten people.

When Su Xiaomi was mentioned, Su Ziyue did not get angry but instead laughed even more happily, "No problem. You can rest assured. "

In an instant, the person on the other end of the phone hung up first.

Su Ziyue's originally smiling face immediately pulled down. She threw the phone on the ground and leaned back. Her eyes stared intently at the mirror in front of her, admiring her perfect appearance.

Her perfect life had just begun. How could she let Su Xiaomi continue to block her path?

Thinking about this, Su Ziyue could not help but laugh coldly. She inadvertently lowered her head and saw nail technician kneeling on the floor to beautify her nails. Her mood immediately became good. She stretched out her empty hand and poked the nail technician's shoulder. Her expression was not pity, but contempt.

One day Su Xiaomi would also be like this nail technician and bow her head to her.
