When the ceremony was officially held, all the guests gathered in the hotel's largest indoor banquet hall. The host of the wedding had profound skills. With just a few sentences, he had stirred up the atmosphere of the wedding.
The wedding ceremony went on in an orderly fashion, but Mu Chen was busy taking care of Ning Zhiheng, who was still hungry, and didn't pay too much attention to the wedding. Only when the couple exchanged rings did he raise his head and take a look, only then did he see that the bride-to-be had long cried and been hugged by the groom and comforted for a while.
When Mu Chen was about to lower his head, he felt that someone was looking at him. He raised his head to look over and coincidentally bumped into Xiao Jia Yu, who was sitting in the first row and looking at him from behind. Xiao Jia Yu nodded and smiled at him.
"Uncle is giggling for the third time today. He is always smiling at Auntie Xiao." Ning Lingfeng spoke in a calm manner as if he was a little adult.
Ning Zhiheng hugged her stomach as she looked up. Xiao Jia Yu had already turned her head away. She moved closer to Ning Ling Feng and asked seriously, "Big brother, when do you think we can change our address to Auntie Xiao as aunt?"
Ning Lingfeng remained expressionless. "You have to ask uncle."
After Mu Chen heard the two little ghost heads' words, he opened his mouth and threatened them, "If you two continue speaking like this, you'll be thrown out by me."
Ning Zhiheng immediately lowered her head as if she was afraid of her, while Ning Lingfeng remained expressionless.
After the ceremony ended, Song Qingying suddenly came over to say that Xiao Jia Yu's mother, Yuan Feiqing, wanted to see a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, so she accepted the task of taking care of the two children from Mu Chen's hands. Before she left, she didn't forget to wink at him and remind him: "I didn't see Jia Yu at the end of the ceremony.
Mu Chen looked at her impatiently. He could not deny her words, but he could not be at ease watching her leave with the two children. Only when she was completely out of sight did he withdraw his gaze.
Mu Chen was really tired recently. He, who was in charge of two companies at the same time, was often too busy to the point where he couldn't even sleep well after staying at the wedding. Without any children by his side, he decided to just go back to the lounge he stayed in earlier to rest.
The lounge Mu Chen was about to go to was at the end of the corridor that led out of the banquet hall. Next to it was a wide terrace that gave him a perfect view of the small garden outside. As he was about to reach the lounge, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in a pink dress, with a man standing beside her whom he happened to recognize. Angele paused for a second and walked into the lounge.
The moment Mu Chen entered the lounge, he did not expect that there was already someone sitting inside. It was the actor Cheng Lan from his company whom he knew. Mu Chen raised his eyebrows. They were truly acquaintances that could be seen everywhere.
Cheng Lan was obviously shocked by the sound of the door opening. Seeing that it was Mu Chen, he quickly stood up and greeted: "Hello, Director Mu."
Mu Chen waved his hand at her and asked calmly: "Waiting for someone?"
Cheng Lan knew that Mu Chen already knew who she was talking about, so he didn't hesitate to nod his head.
Mu Chen sat on the couch in the corner and said to her: "Don't stand up. Go ahead. I'll lie down for a while." As he said this, he took off his jacket, pulled a blanket to the side and covered himself with it. Then, he took off his shoes and lay down on the sofa to sleep, facing the wall with his back facing Cheng Lan. If he had to say that he saw someone in the room, he should have left. However, after recalling the scene from earlier, he decided to stay and remind Xiao Jiayao that he could relax.
Cheng Lan stared at Mu Chen's back for a while. She still remembered Mu Chen helping her out when she was called out by the producer to drink with her. She already had a good impression of her, but she was also used to being bashful and shy. Since her birth wasn't good, she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
However, she later discovered that although Tianchen Entertainment had a lot of issues to deal with compared to other companies and the resources available to the company were also very good, there were simply too many famous celebrities and flowers. She simply could not get a good book, much less act as a main character. She knew that the industry was pyramidal and that actresses were not as good at acting as male cast members. If they were young, they wouldn't be popular for years to come.
Afterwards, she went out to meet Yu Mingxuan. He saw through her at a glance and showed her his intentions the first time they met in private. He even said that he would give her some time to think and didn't try to force her. She knew that the other party could help her become famous. After hesitating for a while, she finally agreed. However, her indistinct feelings towards Mu Chen was still unable to completely disappear. Later on, when Mu Chen found out about the matter between her and Yu Mingxuan, he even specifically came to her back and asked her about it.
Cheng Lan swiped through Weibo using a tablet. Most of the searches were about being a celebrity, and there were also many people who were secretly hired by celebrities to do something behind their backs. There were many people in the industry who wanted to rely on unorthodox methods to make a name for themselves. Even an insider like her felt bored by the news. After watching it for a while, she leaned against the table and took a nap.
A light knock on the door woke Cheng Lan up. Perhaps it was because she hadn't left yet, but the other person immediately opened the door and called out to her, "Lan, it's time to go."
Cheng Lan placed the tablet beside him into his bag and stood up to walk towards Yu Mingxuan. When the other party saw that she had come out, she hurriedly turned around and left. She was slightly behind him and did not dare to appear particularly friendly.
The moment the people in the room left, Mu Chen, who seemed to be sleeping a moment ago, lifted the blanket and sat up, then pressed Xiao Jia Yu's number.
Just as Xiao Jia Yu was about to go find her mother, she received a call from Mu Chen. She was a little surprised: "Mu Chen, is something the matter?"
Mu Chen hurriedly said, "Jia Yu, immediately go to the lounge we stayed in this morning. I know you're still nearby. I just saw you and Yu Mingxuan."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly replied with an "Oh" before turning around and heading back along the corridor.
When Xiao Jia Yu arrived at the lounge, Mu Chen had already put on his shoes and jacket. He sat on the sofa and waited for her. Xiao Jia Yu sat in front of him and asked curiously: "Mu Chen, why did you call me here?"
Mu Chen reminded him seriously, "Jia Yu, if Yu Mingxuan is chasing after you, you must not agree." Jia Yu, if Yu Mingxuan is chasing after you, you must not agree. He could not explain why he was so nervous. In short, he was afraid that Xiao Jia Yu would be cheated.
After hearing his words, Xiao Jia Yu was stunned for a moment, but soon after, she completely understood what he meant, and started laughing. She covered her mouth and laughed, and when she saw Mu Chen's serious expression, she could not stop laughing.
At first, Mu Chen was angry at her indifference, but when he saw her laughing, he noticed that something was amiss. He immediately asked: "What are you laughing at? What did I say wrong? "
Xiao Jia Yu tried her best to hold back her laughter as she replied: "Mu Chen, you really think too much. "Firstly, I am more clear than you on what kind of person Yu Mingxuan is. Secondly, it is impossible for us to be together."
Mu Chen, who was one of the few who showed a stupefied expression, wanted to laugh when he saw this.
"Mu Chen, it's normal if you don't know. My grandmother is a member of the Yu Family, so Yu Mingxuan is the direct grandson of my mother's uncle. He can barely be considered my cousin. What do you think I should do with him?"
Only then did Mu Chen realize that he had made a huge mistake. On the surface, he looked a bit embarrassed, but he still smiled.
Xiao Jia Yu was quite familiar with him now, so she didn't really care about what he said and smiled: "If I didn't know that you were my friend's concern, I would have thought that you liked me by saying those words just now. "The next time you see something like this, you should find out if there's any relationship between man and woman before you speak of it again."
Hearing her teasing him, Mu Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "It's my fault this time. Next time I'll apologize to you, I really didn't think that you would be related by blood."
As she mentioned it, Xiao Jia Yu suddenly became a bit sad, and coincidentally, she was unable to find anyone to talk about it. She felt very uncomfortable, so she wanted to talk to him, and asked: "Do you know my father's youngest brother, my uncle Xiao Qing He?"
Mu Chen hurriedly nodded his head: "I really know him, he can be considered an acquaintance. He is currently developing real estate, and the branches our hotel has opened in the past few years are basically all in cooperation with your uncle. However, I have only just taken over the hotel's affairs recently, and it was my uncle who has been in contact with him." He then laughed, "Your Xiao family is truly low-key. If it weren't for the fact that my uncle and your father are quite familiar with each other, you wouldn't have known about your uncle's identity so early on."
Xiao Jia Yu somewhat gloomily propped up her chin with her hand: "Third Uncle's marriage will come for sure, so my granny has gone mad and wants to help Little Uncle with his marriage. She's looking for the Yun family's granny to help look for him, and she's also looking for my granny to look for him for. I didn't have the chance to see him before, so naturally, I wanted to ask about him. I didn't think that my grandma would have long since wanted to introduce Yu Mingxuan's younger sister, my cousin Yu Lin Jing, to my little uncle.
Mu Chen was a little puzzled. "Since you're your mother's niece, you should think it's pretty good. Why do you look so unhappy?"
Xiao Jia Yu did not know what to say to him, but she still opened her mouth and said: "In short, my uncle has someone he likes, but the family does not agree with them being together. I feel that if they insist on forcing me like this, my uncle will not be happy, and my cousin will not be happy either."
Mu Chen did not know about the internal affairs of the family, and only felt that she was overly worried about the matters of the family's elders. He advised: "Actually, there are a lot of families like us who are engaged in marriage, and my parents were acquainted with each other in the beginning. My brother-in-law's sister, Ning Jiatong, is also the grandson of a family friend of the Ning family.
Xiao Jia Yu was more worried. As the person involved, Nan Qiao definitely cared. The reason she didn't care right now was because she didn't know about this.
Mu Chen was about to say something when his phone in his bag suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, he hurriedly picked it up, listened earnestly to what the other person had to say, then hung up.
Mu Chen put his phone aside and looked at Xiao Jiayu, who was still deep in thought. He smiled at her and said, "I've already settled Chen Yue's matter. You don't need to worry about him in the future. I need to go back to the company for now."
