Morning, Proud Uncle! - C207
The party was more like a masked ball, where everyone dressed up as the role they wanted.
It was either cool, gentle, or innocent. After wearing the mask, they would become another person. After ripping it open, one would reveal their fangs or be as cold as dry straw.
“He can’t go if he has something to do. I’ll go in his place.”
It makes sense. The CEO is taking the place of the staff at the party?
“It’s like this, I understand,” Ji Lee pretended not to know what he was doing, and walked over while holding her skirt. “I’m already done, then let’s go.” The 12-foot-tall shoes looked like they were treading on a sled, but they had been trained in physical training to avoid falling over.
Ji Ye stared at her for a while, then looked up and down, which made Ji Lee a little nervous. What was he trying to do?
“It looks like there’s something missing.”
“Huh?”
“We’ll talk outside,” Ji Ye took the lead and walked out, with his skirt up high, he followed behind.
In front of a jewelry store, he stopped the car. “You stay here, I’ll be back soon.”
“Alright.” What was he doing here? Ji Lee was a little doubtful.
Not long later, he returned with a red embroidered box. He opened it, and inside was a diamond necklace shining with resplendent light. It was so beautiful, it must be very expensive.
“Turn around.” He unbuckled the necklace.
“Is this for me?” After saying that, he realised that he was asking too much. Turning his back, Ji Ye helped her buckle up, the cold chain following closely behind her skin.
“Such a precious item. I’ll return it to you when it’s done …”
“No need to return it, I gave it to you!” He knew that she would refuse and had never given her a present before. This time, he had chosen it himself, so he hoped that she would accept it.
Ji Lee still wanted to reject him, but she decided to wait and say it. She was not very interested in jewelry, perhaps because she never had it since she was young, and on the contrary, no longer had the thought of wanting it.
Seeing that she did not refuse again, Ji Ye started the car and headed towards the music festival venue.
The annual music festival that attracted the most attention in the Chinese language region was very spectacular. Actors and singers would all gather together.
The black car stopped at the entrance of the venue, on the other side of the red carpet stood a sea of people, Ji Lee looked out, and saw that the person walking on the red carpet was a woman dressed in a fragrant dress, just looking at her back, she felt extremely beautiful, Entertainment Industry was indeed a land of beauties.
The security guard in black opened the car door for her. This was the first time Ji Lee came to this kind of place, so she was unavoidably a little nervous.
In that moment, all the lights in the area lit up, and Ji Ye stood beside her, smiling as he said, “Hold me.”
Was there a need to hold onto him? Ji Lee was startled, she could only follow his instructions, placing her hand in the crook of his arm. Even though she was wearing such a high shoe, she was still not as tall as him.
He wasn’t a star, and he was definitely brighter than a star. He smiled faintly, not out of politeness, but out of a desire to please the crowd.
When the reporters saw Ji Ye, they were shocked. The sensitivity of their jobs allowed them to smell an unusual scent, why would the President of the Ji’s, who rarely made an appearance in public, be present today? A few days ago, he was attended by the music director of Ji’s, even in a big occasion, he was rarely invited to do anything.
And the woman he had brought with him was not a A-list celebrity, but a newbie who had gotten quite a bit of fame from a single song not long ago. Did this mean that Ji’s Entertainment would be praising her next?
What was even more interesting was that this new person was the girl who had spread the rumour with Ji Yixi not long ago. After Ji Yixi went to America, the rumour also came to an end, and many people wondered if it was because this woman had connected her to the CEO of Ji’s that they managed to shake Ji Yixi off.
No matter what, looking at the things that happened today, the Ji’s placed a considerable amount of importance on this new person.
The reporters were so focused on them that they ignored the celebrities at the back.
Ji Lee had an illusion that this was not a venue but a wedding hall. The people who were waving and shouting at the side were their friends and family, and right in front of them, there was a floor that was radiating a white light, it seemed to be a holy church.
“We’re here.” Ji Ye gave her a light push before she finally came back to his senses. His face was a little hot, so why would she think about all this?
The venue was a dazzling scene with many celebrities already seated. Some of them were chatting happily. It was as though he wanted to show others how popular he was.
Everyone was wearing fine clothes and beautiful clothes, with delicate makeup. The most important thing was that they were all very confident, as they were indispensable to Entertainment Industry.
There were a few faces that Ji Lee remembered she saw before at work, and there was even a female star. Ji Lee also remembered her, the reason she remembered her so clearly was because of Ji Ye’s relationship with her. It was on Ji Xue’s birthday, a female star that was very close to him, and was said to be her first mistress.
Although his eyes glanced in their direction, he still appeared dignified on the surface. For an occasion like today, not only did they have to compete with each other for popularity, but also for the taste of the clothes, and the way they talked and the way they acted.
However, from beginning to end, Ji Ye had been looking straight ahead, but he actually felt that it was too boring.
After half an hour, all the guests had entered the hall. The hall was filled with people, and the music festival officially began.
The host said something relaxed yet funny, causing all the guests on stage to cover their mouths and laugh. Actually, what the host said wasn’t that funny, and the guests below the stage weren’t laughing because they found it funny. They were laughing because they had to laugh.
Halfway through the party, Ji Ye wanted to leave out of boredom, but Ji Lee was fine, because he found it novel, he enjoyed watching it.
Unconsciously, Ji Lee saw a familiar figure appear before her eyes. Ever since she disappeared from the island last time, she rarely saw her again. She had heard from the company that Ji Ye had fired her, and it was unknown if she was in another company or not.
