Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 68 Li Li is right

Li Wu looked up to kiss Zhou Jinghuai, but before she could touch him, a soft cough suddenly came from inside the car.

Subconsciously.

When Li Wu turned her head and saw that there was still someone sitting in the passenger seat, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

……

How's Li Li's filming going?

He Yanting, sitting in the passenger seat, greeted her with a smile without turning around.

Li Wu immediately and quickly got off Zhou Jinghuai, so fast that He Yanting's words hadn't even finished fading away.

But in a blink of an eye.

Li Wu sat upright to the side, her posture so perfect it resembled that of a model student.

"Hello, Mr. He."

Li Wu greeted him politely before answering his question, her voice low and muffled, "We just finished filming today."

talking.

Taking advantage of He Yanting's inattention, Li Wu glanced at the man beside her with a hint of resentment.

That look seemed to say—

Why didn't you remind me?

But don't want to.

He Yanting saw all of Li Wu's little movements clearly in the rearview mirror inside the car. Seemingly finding them genuinely cute, He Yanting couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Jinghuai raised his hand and patted Li Wu's head, and also slightly curled his lips.

"..."

later.

The car stopped in front of a glittering club.

Just as Li Wu thought they had arrived and was about to get out of the car, the door was opened from the outside.

Before you can even see a face, a fragrant aroma wafts over.

It's a very strong yet pleasant scent.

Like Freud in full bloom, even in the last second before he rots away, he still exudes that intense and rich rose fragrance.

When the woman opened the car door and saw that the person sitting in the back seat was Li Wu, her expression changed instantly.

She was about to speak when He Yanting's voice rang out first.

“Li Wu,” He Yanting introduced simply, “is my friend, an actor.”

The woman seemed to recognize Zhou Jinghuai, and upon hearing this, she greeted him first, "Mr. Zhou, hello."

Subsequently.

The woman then looked at Li Wu, her voice alluring and languid, "Miss Li, I know the drama you filmed is very popular recently."

Li Wu has had two hit dramas in a row.

Anyone who goes online should have heard of her name.

Li Wu smiled at her and said, "Hello."

The woman in front of me was wearing a black, rhinestone-studded halter top paired with denim shorts and black Doc Martens boots. She had a strikingly beautiful face with excellent bone structure, the kind that exuded sophistication.

Her figure is also top-notch, like that of a top model. Her chestnut-brown waves cascade lazily over her shoulders, her red lips are vibrant, and every gesture she makes exudes charm and allure.

Once in the car.

The woman's slender, supple body leaned forward, seemingly oblivious to everyone around her, as she tried to kiss He Yanting.

After being stopped by He Yanting's glance, she didn't hold back at all. Instead, she kissed his lips as she wanted. At the moment of the kiss, she even stuck out her soft red tongue and subtly licked He Yanting's thin lips.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

When He Yanting looked at her with slightly somber eyes.

Instead, she laughed freely, her smile radiant and alluring.

When she spoke to He Yanting again, he ignored her.

Later, she contacted Li Wu again, saying she had seen Li Wu's dramas and praised Li Wu for being very beautiful, noting that every costume in the dramas was gorgeous and exquisite. The two later became friends on social media.

That's how Li Wu learned her name.

—Yunmei.

……

We went to a private restaurant deep in a hutong (traditional alleyway), which was converted from an old-style Western-style house. There was a small arched bridge right after you entered.

The wind rustles through the ancient willows, and a few pale blue water lilies float on the water's surface.

The restaurant owner personally greeted them and respectfully led them to a private room that had been specially reserved for them.

while eating.

Yunmei sat very close to He Yanting, saying what she wanted to eat and coaxing him to pick food for her. Her voice was sweet and charming, enough to melt anyone's bones. The key point is...

It sounds completely natural, as if the allure is naturally inherent in its tone.

After Yunmei pleaded several times, He Yanting finally picked up a piece of braised oxtail for her. But Yunmei then said that she needed to maintain her figure and eat low-fat, light food, so she asked He Yanting to pick up the steamed grouper for her.

Hear the words.

He Yanting put down his chopsticks and started chatting with Zhou Jinghuai.

Yunmei, somewhat displeased, nudged He Yanting with her leg under the table.

Turn around.

Yunmei happened to see Liwu eating obediently there.

She ate it in tiny sips, with extreme refinement and elegance, yet with an indescribable seriousness.

Mr. Zhou seemed to know what Li Wu liked to eat, so she didn't even have to ask. While chatting with He Yanting, he would also occasionally put food on Li Wu's plate.

Finally, Yunmei saw that Mr. Zhou had also served Li Wu a bowl of clear soup with matsutake mushrooms and placed it beside her.

Yunmei tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

Just as she was about to look away, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the bracelet on Li Wu's wrist, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This bracelet is so pretty..."

at that time.

Li Wu was intently gnawing on a pork rib, which was tender and flavorful, and soon she buried a whole bone in her mouth.

Hearing Yunmei seemingly speaking to her, Li Wu looked up at her.

Then, following her gaze, I looked at the bracelet on my hand.

This is a bracelet made from a piece of Hetian jade. It has a beautiful and elegant smoky purple color, crystal clear, like smoke and mist.

Li Wu quite liked its color, so she wore it for two more days.

There was a pause.

Li Wu spoke gently, "It's a bracelet made of Hetian jade. If you like it, I can go back and ask for the jade carving master's contact information and then send it to you."

After Li Wu finished speaking.

Looking at her earnest and sincere expression, He Yanting couldn't help but smile.

Yunmei, however, suddenly froze, her hand holding the chopsticks stiffening, and her gaze towards Li Wu faltered for a moment.

"..."

Li Wu subconsciously turned to look at Zhou Jinghuai, her pure eyes still filled with some confusion.

"That's right."

Zhou Jinghuai used serving chopsticks to put another piece of pork rib on her plate. His deep, gentle voice carried a hint of indulgence as he praised her, "Lili is right."

"..."

Although there was still some confusion in Li Wu's eyes, her pretty little earlobes unconsciously turned red.

……

the other side.

He Yanting glanced at Yun Mei before casually saying, "There's only one of that kind of thing in the global auction market; it's one of a kind."

It's quite a pampering to have a bracelet made from nearly 100 million yuan worth of Hetian jade.

It looked like Yunmei was about to have another outburst.

He Yanting looked at her calmly with his dark, deep eyes, his voice carrying a hint of coldness, "Besides, even if I give it to you, can you guarantee it won't end up on the gambling table the next day?"

……

Near the end.

Li Wu went to the restroom.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Wu reached the door, she heard a voice coming from inside.

She had heard that sound just over ten minutes ago.

They must be on the phone.

"Her saying she'd give me her contact information is just a way of mocking me for not being able to afford good jade. Does she think she can afford it? She's just someone who gets played by men."

"Otherwise, how do you think she rose to fame so quickly, with such big names playing supporting roles for her?"

"Who's behind this?"

Yunmei paused for a moment before saying impatiently, "How would I know? There might be more than one."

"This is nothing new to her. What's there to be willing to sacrifice for resources? She'll get tired of one person and then be played by another. It's not impossible for several people to do it together..."

"She looks innocent and pure, but who knows how slutty she is in private... those beads in her hands have probably been stuffed in her hands many times over..."

"Where to put it? Where do you think to put it?"
