Bai Quan pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Of course I'm staying. My career has just begun, and I naturally need to make a grand display of my abilities."
In fact, the most important point was that she needed time to think.
How to face this relationship.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan encouraged her, "Quan Quan, I support you."
Being able to start a company already proved her best friend's capabilities.
Bai Quan smiled, "We sisters will forge our own careers here."
Wen Yan agreed wholeheartedly. As she spoke again, she saw Rong Beifeng walking in with two bags.
She shifted her gaze to Bai Quan, her voice calm, "Come and eat quickly."
Bai Quan nodded.
Seeing this, Wen Yan smiled at Bai Quan, "Quan Quan, you eat. I'm going back."
Rong Beifeng invited her, "Wen Yan, stay and eat with us!"
She waved her hand, "I ate at home before coming. You guys eat, I'll be leaving now."
With that, she turned and left the room.
Half an hour later.
She returned to the downstairs of the studio. As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw Wen Ya holding a milk tea, walking towards her with a smile, "Sis, this is the new milk tea I bought. It's still warm, try it quickly."
Wen Yan frowned. Didn't she tell her yesterday? Why was she here again this morning?
Her tone was indifferent, "I don't drink milk tea. Take it back and drink it yourself."
Wen Yan bypassed Wen Ya and was about to leave. Wen Ya saw that she was still not budging, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. Then, she tried to appease her, "Sis, are you still angry about what happened last night?"
If she didn't need something from her, why would she go out to buy milk tea so early in the morning?
When had she ever tried to please someone like this?
Wen Yan's expression was calm, "You're overthinking it. Why would I be angry? However, if you don't leave soon, I might get angry."
She didn't want to play the drama of sisterly affection with Wen Ya.
Wen Ya gritted her teeth and looked at Wen Yan, "Sis, what do I have to do to get you to help me get the role?"
"Didn't I tell you? If you have the patience to hone your skills with me, why not go talk to Director Ye Shu?"
With that, Wen Yan got into the elevator. As the elevator completely separated the two of them, Wen Ya's expression darkened, and her hands clenched into fists.
...
Wen Yan returned to the studio and sat in her office chair. She suddenly remembered the banquet tonight.
She thought for a moment and sent a message to Leng Xunze. She waited for a while but received no reply.
She felt that they had cleared the air yesterday, so Leng Xunze shouldn't stop her from going, right?
That would be for the best, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to face that man.
Until noon, when she went to the cafeteria for lunch, she still hadn't seen a reply from him.
Wen Yan sighed. It seemed he wasn't going to talk to her anymore.
Just as she was contemplating, her phone suddenly rang with a text message notification.
She picked it up and saw a message from Leng Xunze: You want my money to go to waste?
Wen Yan asked with a puzzled look: Huh?
This time, the reply was quick: Don't be late at six o'clock tonight. Wait for me outside the Leng family manor.
Seeing this, she replied, "Okay."
What was wrong with her? Didn't she firmly tell Leng Xunze yesterday to stay away from him?
Why was she feeling a little bit of joy now that he had asked her to attend the banquet?
Thinking of this, she shook her head. This must be an illusion.
Wen Yan rubbed her forehead. Was she just too tired?
On the other side.
Leng Bai Rui sat on the sofa, applying lipstick and talking on the phone, "Sister Na, tonight is my mother's birthday banquet. You mustn't be late!"
Song Na smiled and replied, "I know. It's Auntie's birthday banquet. How could I be late?"
Leng Bai Rui said joyfully, "That's good. Oh, and I have some news about my brother."
Song Na's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "What news? Tell me."
Leng Bai Rui finished applying her lipstick, "My brother is in a bad mood right now. Sister Na, this is your chance."
Song Na's lips curved slightly, "Bai Rui, let's go shopping together tomorrow."
"Okay."
...
In the evening.
Wen Yan put on her evening gown and just stepped out of her room when she saw a car parked downstairs.
As she approached, she saw Zuo An getting out of the car.
Wen Yan was a little puzzled. Zuo An glanced at her and said respectfully, "Miss Wen, Mr. Leng sent me to pick you up. He has something to attend to and can't make it."
She smiled, "It's alright, thank you."
Zuo An raised an eyebrow and replied, "You're too kind, Miss Wen. Please get in."
She hummed and got into the car.
Since she had been to the Leng family manor once before, she still had some impression of it.
An hour later, the car passed through a dense tree-lined road and stopped in front of a manor.
Zuo An looked up at the rearview mirror, "Miss Wen, we've arrived. Mr. Leng asked you to wait for him in the hall first. He'll call you when he gets here."
Wen Yan nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Zuo An smiled.
She got out of the car and looked up to see the hall not far away, brightly lit.
As Wen Yan walked over and just entered the hall, Wen Ya's voice reached her ears, "Sis, why are you here?"
As soon as she said this, all eyes in the hall instantly turned to her.
"Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Wen family? Why is she here?" said a woman dressed in luxurious attire.
"She's already been kicked out of the Wen family. She's no longer the eldest daughter."
"How did she get in? This is Mrs. Leng's banquet. Could it be that Mrs. Leng invited her too?"
Song Na smiled and greeted her, "Miss Wen, I didn't expect you to come."
Wen Yan hadn't expected Wen Ya to be there either. Before she could say anything, Leng Bai Rui saw her and immediately glared at her, saying, "Wen Yan, why are you here? Get out quickly. You're not welcome here!"
Saying that, she was about to call the bodyguards to throw Wen Yan out.
Wen Yan looked at her and replied, "Miss Leng, your brother asked me to come. Are you sure you want to throw me out?"
"What? You said my brother asked you to come? You think too highly of yourself!" Leng Bai Rui didn't believe her.
Wen Ya quickly walked up to Wen Yan and said, "Sis, you should leave. I know you want to take a look, but this is not a place you can just come to. If you continue to make a scene, it will be the Wen family's disgrace."
Leng Bai Rui saw that Wen Yan still didn't want to leave and shouted loudly to the bodyguards outside, "Hurry in and throw her out!"
Song Na felt incredibly pleased to see Wen Yan about to be kicked out.
"Did you hear that? I feel like this Wen Yan is too shameless. As daughters of the Wen family, look how well-behaved Wen Ya is."
"Exactly. I actually think the Wen family was right to kick Wen Yan out."
"I think she's just here to seduce Young Master Leng!"
Wen Ya's lips curved, and she then persuaded, "Sis, you should leave quickly. It will be embarrassing if you get kicked out later."
Wen Yan turned her head to look at Wen Ya, "Do you think I'll be kicked out?"
Wen Ya was stunned for a moment, "Sis, I didn't mean that. I'm doing this for your own good."
