Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife-Chapter 444 All-Star Night Gala (2)

For the past few days after the rumors about him and the girl he met at the restaurant blew up, He Gui hasn't had the time to relax or even think of anything else. He didn't know who maliciously spread the pictures that he had his assistant block from being shown to the public.

It brought disaster to him even though his intentions at that time when he helped Ran Xueyi was good. He just thought she was someone who had some connections to the Song family in the past and wanted to show her some respect by letting her in after he made trouble by bringing all these reporters in front of the restaurant.

But who would have thought that his intentions were painted as him hinting their relationship.

Thankfully, Yin Ruo, his fiance didn't think too much about it and even jokingly teased him for being a celebrity now. However, who would have thought that some of the deals he had been discussing with a few big companies suddenly halted their intentions of cooperating with him!

No matter how he sees it, He Gui could sense that he had somehow grazed something he shouldn't have.

But the problem was… He didn't know who or how he offended someone.

Losing a few tens of millions was not a problem for someone like He Gui. The thing that made him lose all his sleep these past few days was the fact that he had offended someone and didn't know how to appease their anger!

Now, Tang Jian reminded him of his dark days…

"I don't need to explain myself to you. Think whatever suits your imagination!" He Gui no longer wanted to deal with Tang Jian. They were no longer together and all the good feelings he had left for her after their break up were spent with all the tricks Tang Jian tried to do just to get him back.

Tang Jian still wanted to argue with him, but sensing Manager Bai's gaze, she bit her lips and kept silent. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

The car parked in front of them moved to the entry path to the red carpet. Once the people are done doing wall signing and short interviews, it will be their turn soon. At this point, Tang Jian didn't think about He Gui as the thought of being in the spotlight tonight got into her head.

Her heart paced quickly with excitement. She had never been in the spotlight before. She was just a tenth-tier actress who got into the entertainment circle through the backdoor. Coming from a big and wealthy family like the Tang family gave her enough privileges to start as one of the main actresses in some films. However, there are some things that cannot be bought with money or power.

One of them was to be selected in tonight's All-Star Night Gala.

"It will be our turn soon, Tang Jian. Don't let the reporters and the cameras see anything on your face. Keep smiling." Manager Bai reminded her, but in truth, she was speaking to He Gui.

Obviously, He Gui knew what she was doing. But he didn't care.

He didn't come to that place on his own volition in the first place. But still, for the sake of not ripping the peace the Tang and He family kept for several decades, he donned an expressionless face.

"Now, let us all greet our next guests! He Gui and Tang Jian." The host smiled at the camera which was rolling the live streaming of the red carpet. "They are a hot topic nowadays and a lot of fans are wondering about their real score."

The car where He Gui and Tang Jian was in stopped in front of the entry path. Just as third-tier media reporters and organized fans were going to rush forward to their side, five bodyguards blocked each side, stopping them from further taking a step close to their employer, He Gui.

"Young master He, can you please answer some questions?

"Young master He, is it true…"

"Tang Jian, are you and Mr. He…"

A lot of people were curious about what they were doing tonight. They were already engaged to their respective fiances, why did they show up together?

Tang Jian formed a professional and ready-made smile on her face as if she wore a mask in front of everyone. When one fan asked her a question whether there was a chance of them getting back together, she quickly thought of a way to mislead everyone's opinion. She wanted them to think that she and He Gui are still not over with each other yet!

But He Gui, who was receiving a lot more attention than the celebrity, Tang JIan, refused to answer any of their questions. He hurriedly stepped onto the red carpet and made his way to the sign wall. A staff member was waiting there with a marker and gave it to him with an awkward smile after seeing that Tang Jian was left behind by Mr. He and his five bodyguards fend for herself against the crowd.

No matter how you look at it, there was no way the two could be back together!

…

Inside the car, Ran Xueyi ate a low-fat biscuit and read the script in her hand. A pen was pinched between her lips as she pondered the right emotion she should put in in one of the lines. Whenever she read a script, she would be completely absorbed in it.

Adelle took this chance to take some pictures and quickly send it to the fan club leader, telling them to post it as soon as the event officially started after the red carpet.

After sending her message, Adelle went to the live streaming platform for the event to see the situation. A few seconds later, a loud gasp was released from her lips and even Ran Xueyi, who was focused on reading her script, looked up at her with a frown.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop myself in time."

Ran Xueyi shook her head and asked, "What happened?"

Adelle: "I just watched the guy you were rumored with last time walk on the red carpet. To be honest, I'm impressed with his face. So handsome!"

It was amazing that all the men Ran Xueyi was paired with were all good-looking men.

Ran Xueyi already heard about this from the stylists who were with her earlier. She opened her lips to say some words to Adelle, but paused…

The red carpet was an event where all celebrities and important guests could show off their dresses and jewelry, and it was also where they could meet some of their fans who were lucky enough to get near their beloved stars.

The lineup of who could go first and last to walk on the red carpet shows how important they are. For example, those who weren't given much attention and belonged to the lower tiers were all in the starting lineup. On the other hand, the A-listers and more wealthy and relevant investors and sponsors were last to appear.

Based on this, He Gui, who was the cousin of the previous prime minister, should have been last to appear on the red carpet. As he holds the most important status in the event.

But surprisingly, he wasn't.

Just what is going on?

"Adelle, can you check again what time we will be walking on the red carpet?"

"Hm? Shouldn't it be around 9:20?" Adelle held her tablet and looked at it carefully. "Yup, we will be right after the guest under the name He and Tang… Wait, what's going on?"

Adelle tried to look at it again but found it confusing.

"Call the organizer and ask them what's going on. I think there's a mix up with our lineup." According to their status, Ran Xueyi should appear first on the red carpet before He Gui. Even though she was an A-list actress with a high media traffic, her status still couldn't possibly compare to the cousin of the former prime minister.

If people find out about this, they will violently attack her for being too arrogant and not knowing her place.

Adelle also knew how dire the situation was. She hurriedly called the organizer and asked them what was going on.

But…

Organizer: "A mix up with the lineup?"

"Yes, I think someone deliberately changed the lineup." There was no way Adelle would allow anyone to take advantage of Ran Xueyi and ruin her reputation!

But she only heard the organizer's gentle and polite voice through the speaker sounding calm, "What do you mean? There is no mistake with the lineup…We already got the notice from the higher ups that Miss Ran should appear on the red carpet last."

The organizer was even more perplexed. Didn't they receive the notice that the lineup was changed at the last minute?

But then, the car drove forward suddenly and parked in front of the red carpet. Flashes of camera lights simultaneously exploded and screams of the fans holding Ran Xueyi's official fan banner were raised up.

Adelle blew up instantly at the stupid driver and knocked on the divider, "Hey, what do you think you are doing?"

The driver didn't respond to her and opened the door. He walked around the car and stood upright.

From the start to the end, Ran Xueyi's eyes didn't leave the driver who got off and had a strange feeling in her heart.

Especially when she saw that the driver was not wearing an ordinary business suit but a custom-made and expensive three-piece suit.

The driver who had been driving the car actually turned out to be Song Yu Han.
