Chapter 246 Tools of Heuristics

Pullman Hotel, the high society dinner held every month in City L of country Y is in progress.

Although it is said that such a banquet is held once a month, it is a rare and common thing for the local princes and nobles in L City, but this time it is a little different.

It's different not just because it's the end of the year, the last dinner, and the next one means the beginning of a new year.

Also because there were fresh faces at the dinner party.

As the successor of Lan's enterprise in the imperial capital, Lan Xincheng is a well-known business genius. It seems understandable that he would appear at such a banquet.

But... the woman on his arm was particularly conspicuous among a group of blond and blue-eyed ladies.

Of course, this is not the most surprising place.

The most surprising thing, whether it was Lan Xincheng or the woman herself, was the actor Jian Xiao.

It is not uncommon for actors or stars to appear at such dinner parties. The threshold for banquets in recent years has not been as high as before.

But in the past, they were all local stars, and they had to be big names. There was really no such little-known actor from Country Z like Jian Xiao.

Everyone in the world is gossip, and gossip has no country.

Therefore, those so-called princes and nobles looked at Lan Xincheng and Jian Xiao with a bit more playfulness and ambiguity in their eyes, and some frivolous ones wanted to invite Jian Xiao several times.

Or in their eyes, Jian Xiao and Lan Xincheng are just bed partners.

The family concept in L city is far stronger than that of the emperor, how could such an aristocratic family like the Lan family accept an actor like Jian Xiao.

Jian Xiao was upset in her heart, but on the surface she kept smiling gently, and she was very polite in refusing, coupled with Lan Xincheng's intentional or unintentional maintenance, it didn't embarrass her too much.

After finally getting rid of the siege of the crowd, Lan Xincheng immediately shook off the hand on his arm like the plague.

Although the smile on Jian Xiao's face froze slightly, it soon returned to normal, and sat down beside Lan Shishi.

She knew that through Lan Xincheng's performance just now, he would never turn his face in public.

"Thank you so much today."

She has been thinking about Lan Xincheng's purpose, but from entering the dinner party until now, Lan Xincheng has repeatedly mentioned the movie that is about to be finished, which makes Jane Xiao's guess and suspicion a little less.

"Heh," Lan Xincheng glanced at her with a half-smile, "Is this what you want? Your manager is really considerate of you."

The undisguised sarcasm in his tone reminded Jane of the naked and frivolous eyes of those men just now, and the smile on the corner of her lips froze again.

When Cai Ya gave her the invitation letter, she did say that this is a good opportunity, but the facts have proved that the opportunity does not mean smooth sailing, and her hard work does not mean that she will be recognized by the upper class.

Jian Xiao could imagine that if it wasn't for Lan Xincheng, she would probably have no bones left tonight.

The so-called high-society dinner parties are still nothing but sensual places.

However, that was just the task Cai Ya set for her. Now her goal and purpose of coming to the dinner party is not only for herself, but also because...

Thinking that the other party had already made a move at this moment, the corner of Jian Xiao's lips regained a smile.

"I don't understand what Cheng Shao said. Couldn't today's dinner be fruitful for our movie?"

While Jian Xiao answered fluently, she glanced at the time without any trace, silently calculating in her heart.

Lan Xincheng took in all her reactions, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It turned out that he only thought that Jian Xiao was very ambitious, but now he knew that she was ruthless, even worse than Sun Yuwei.

Of course, if Yan Yin hadn't informed him, he probably still didn't know that Jian Xiao had a helper behind him.

The two just sat like that and stopped chatting. People who didn't know would probably think that the two didn't know each other and didn't come together at all.

On the way, Lan Xincheng answered a phone call, and his expression changed slightly after answering the phone call.

This made Jian Xiao guess whether this call was from He Jiaqi, about Lan Shishi's accident.

But although Lan Xincheng's face became ugly, after answering the call, he just put the phone back in his pocket without any other actions.

Could it be that her guess just now was wrong?

Or did the other party fail?

Jian Xiao's originally determined heart began to feel a little apprehensive and uneasy.

She subconsciously wanted to take out her mobile phone, and the moment her fingers touched the cold metal, she realized that the occasion was not right. After pondering for a few seconds, she asked:
"Cheng Shao, I just saw that you had a bad face when you answered the phone. Is there any urgent situation that needs to be resolved by the crew?"

If there is no way to make a phone call, there is no way to know the progress of the matter. Jian Xiao chose a roundabout way, intending to find out the truth from Lan Xincheng.

Lan Xincheng glanced at her with meaningful eyes.This made Jian Xiao feel like Lan Xincheng would see through the unreasonable skirts in Jian Xiao's heart.

"Am I... am I happy?" The more Lan Xincheng kept silent, the more uncertain the bottom of Jane Xiao's heart became.

And the more uncertain she was in her heart, the more she wanted to find something to talk about.

"Uh, actually this dinner is quite boring. I don't know what Ms. He and Ms. Lan are doing now...By the way, Young Master Cheng, Miss He...doesn't have a misunderstanding about today's party, right?"

This circle is getting bigger and bigger, but after all, there is still something to be said on the sidelines, and Jian Xiao doesn't care about so much anymore.

"Misunderstanding what?"

This time, Lan Xincheng was not indifferent, but looked at Jian Xiao with great interest.

"Misunderstanding...Misunderstanding that I have unruly intentions towards you."

At that moment just now, when Jian Xiao looked at Lan Xincheng, her scalp felt a little more numb. For the first time, she very much agreed with the mysterious man's words, and Lan Xincheng was not easy.

Lan Xincheng is not as natural and harmless as usual, but very sharp. Although this sharpness cannot be compared with Yan Yin, it is almost the same as Chu Tingyue.

Only then did Jian Xiao realize that her understanding of Lan Xincheng was just a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, she was also rejoicing from the bottom of her heart that a mysterious person had appeared, otherwise her plan against Lan Shishi would not have succeeded.

"Jiaqi needs to worry?" Lan Xincheng looked at He Jiaqi with a light smile, "Didn't the eyes of those princes and nobles tell you the answer?"

The implication is that with your status, you are destined not to be the young wife of the Lan family, so why should He Jiaqi misunderstand you?
"Besides, this is just work." Lan Xincheng added a dark belly after seeing the subtle change in Jane's smiling face, "Or, Miss Jane had some thoughts that she shouldn't have."

"..." At this time, Lan Xincheng didn't look like he was usually indifferent to the world, but he was clearly an old fox.

Jane gritted her teeth secretly with a smile.

It's okay, just be sarcastic, there will be times when you won't be able to laugh.

Until now, Jian Xiao is still convinced that since the mysterious person who called her can find her, he will be able to realize his plan to take Lan Shishi away.

As long as Lan Xincheng is held back, then her mission tonight will be considered complete and her wish will be fulfilled.

And the mysterious person who made Jian Xiao confident, that is, Chu Tingyue, has indeed taken Lan Shishi away from the changing room of the mall according to the first step of the plan.

But the smooth process made Chu Ting more worried.

It stands to reason that even if Lan Shishi goes abroad, not only Yan Yin, but even Lan Xincheng will arrange many bodyguards by her side.And according to the reports from the people below, Lan Shishi was taken away without any trouble just now, which made Chu Ting feel that Lan Shishi walked into this trap on purpose after knowing everything.

"There's something wrong with this!" Chu Ting said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Cai Ya obviously didn't think so deeply, "Everything is going well so far, let's look at Jane Xiao now."

"No," Chu Ting raised his hand, "It's just that it went too smoothly."

"Young Master Chu means..."

"Well, it's fine if you're an ordinary person, but Yan Yin is standing behind Lan Shishi." Chu Tingyue frowned fiercely.

"Then what should we do now?" Cai Ya also frowned, "Should I inform Jane Xiao?"

"No need!" Chu Tingyue narrowed his eyes again, "Regardless of whether Yan Yin or Lan Xincheng is playing this game of chess, it's a good opportunity to fight."

Coincidentally, he also wanted to formally test the level of these two people.

However, in this way, Lan Shishi became a tool of temptation.This was the only thing that made Chu Ting feel a little bit unbearable.

Leaving aside the fact that Lan Shishi is Yan Yin's wife, they used to get along quite happily.

In particular, after calling Jian Xiao, he kept thinking about the conversation between them in the principal's office that day, and Lan Shishi had indeed helped her a lot back then.

With Lan Shishi's character, if he knew that the person behind it was him, probably there would be no chance of reconciliation in this life, right?

Cai Ya couldn't understand the bitter smile that suddenly appeared on the corner of Chu Tingyue's lips, but asked tentatively, "So what should we do now, wait and see what happens, Young Master Chu?"

She couldn't figure out what Chu Tingyue was thinking at all, because every time the answer was different from what she could think of.

"Order and let Tony continue with his previous plan."

After Chu Ting pondered for a few seconds, he still made this decision.

At the same time, he was also whispering silently in his heart.

Lan Shishi, I'm sorry for you this time, but who made me and Yan Yin stand on opposite sides?
If possible, he didn't want to take this step.

Chu Tingyue always had a premonition in his heart that once he took this step, there would be no turning back between him and Lan Shishi, and his heart was also heavy, but there was no other choice for him to make.
