After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 134 Lively Dinner

The two discussed in detail the possible situations and coping strategies that might occur at the dinner, and before they knew it, an afternoon had passed. Before parting, Mr. Qi once again reminded Sang Jiuyue to be well prepared and not to miss this rare opportunity.

As the date of the dinner party approached, Sang Jiuyue became more and more nervous and excited. She repeatedly practiced the words she would use to communicate with different people, practiced smiling and eye contact in front of the mirror, and carefully studied the information about potential contacts that Mr. Qi gave her, memorizing everything from their preferences to their recent works. Tangtang was also making final preparations for the dinner party. She not only had to ensure that every aspect of the dinner party was perfect, but also had to make proper arrangements for Sang Jiuyue's arrival. She even prepared a detailed map of the manor for her in advance, marking the locations of various important areas.

Finally, the day of the dinner arrived. In the evening, the sunset glow in the sky was like a gorgeous oil painting. Tangtang drove to the downstairs of Sang Jiuyue's house. Sang Jiuyue lifted the hem of her skirt, walked downstairs carefully, and got into the car. "Wow, Jiuyue, you are so beautiful today!" Tangtang exclaimed, her eyes full of sincere appreciation. Sang Jiuyue smiled and responded: "You are, Tangtang, you will definitely be the focus tonight." Tangtang wore a custom-made red evening dress today, with delicate golden patterns embroidered on it, like a blooming rose, paired with a dazzling ruby necklace, showing her noble temperament.

The car slowly drove to the dinner venue - the luxurious manor. At the entrance of the manor, a huge crystal chandelier illuminated the entire courtyard, and the light was dazzling, just like daylight. Luxury cars drove in one after another, and the dust they raised looked particularly dreamy under the light. Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue walked into the manor hand in hand, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Their beauty and elegance, like the two most dazzling stars in the night sky, could not be ignored.

The dinner was magnificent and full of celebrities. On the stage, the band played elegant music, and the notes jumped in the air like smart elves. Tangtang took Sang Jiuyue and began to introduce the important people present one by one. They first met the business tycoon Mr. Lin. Tangtang smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, this is my good friend Sang Jiuyue, she has developed very well in the entertainment industry." Sang Jiuyue quickly stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time, and I am honored to meet you." Mr. Lin nodded slightly and responded with a smile, "Hello, hello, you are young and promising." Then, Tangtang took Sang Jiuyue to the well-known director Director Zhang and introduced, "Director Zhang, this is Sang Jiuyue, she especially appreciates your work." Sang Jiuyue immediately said, "Director Zhang, I have watched each of your works many times, especially the "Dream of Light and Shadow". The shooting techniques and the depth of the plot have benefited me a lot." Director Zhang listened, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and chatted with Sang Jiuyue about the topic of performance.

General Manager Qi also arrived at the dinner early. She shuttled among the crowd, keeping an eye on Sang Jiuyue's movements. Seeing Sang Jiuyue was a little nervous when talking to a well-known director, she immediately stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Director Zhang, long time no see. This is my artist Sang Jiuyue, she has always admired your work." After General Manager Qi's introduction, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, and Sang Jiuyue successfully started a deeper exchange with the director.

At this moment, Sang Jiuyue saw a few colleagues in the entertainment industry chatting not far away, and they mentioned Sang Shuwan and Jiang Zimo. She was moved and quietly approached, wanting to hear what others thought of these two people, and also wanted to see if she could take the opportunity to "add fuel to the fire" and consolidate Tangtang's negative impression of them.

"I heard that Sang Shuwan recently won the endorsement of an international big brand, which is the beauty brand that Sang Jiuyue talked about before. The resources are so good that it makes people jealous." A fashionable actress said sourly.

"Humph, who knows how she got it? Maybe she used some shameful means." Another person echoed.

When Sang Jiuyue heard this, she was secretly happy. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "I've heard about it too. She's always pestering my husband and trying to snatch my endorsement. She's really annoying. And that Jiang Zimo, he's in cahoots with her, and his character is not much better. Last time I was on the set, I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Zimo was bossing the staff around and had no respect for anyone." The people around cast curious glances at them. Seeing this, Sang Jiuyue exaggerated and described some "embarrassing stories" about the two of them, which caused everyone to talk about it.

At this time, Tangtang was talking to several business elders and didn't pay any attention to Sang Jiuyue's situation. She was still immersed in the joy of introducing Sang Jiuyue to people, looking forward to helping her friend make a breakthrough in her career.

At the climax of the dinner, Tangtang's father came on stage to give a speech. He thanked all the guests for coming and announced a surprise segment - inviting several first-line stars to perform on stage. The audience immediately burst into applause, and Sang Jiuyue also clapped excitedly, her eyes fixed on the stage, looking forward to the appearance of those shining figures.

After the performance, it was time for free communication. Sang Jiuyue continued to shuttle among the crowd, not letting go of any possible opportunity. She had a very speculative chat with a well-known screenwriter, who was very interested in her ideas and said that there was a chance to cooperate. The screenwriter said: "I am preparing a new script recently, which is about the struggle of urban women. Listening to some of the views you just said, it fits well with the heroine I envisioned. We can talk in depth when we have time." Sang Jiuyue nodded quickly and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, I am particularly interested in this type of subject matter, and I have a lot of my own insights." General Qi observed silently on the side, and provided some help and guidance to Sang Jiuyue in a timely manner. For example, when Sang Jiuyue was communicating with the brand representatives, General Qi added some highlights of Sang Jiuyue's previous commercial cooperation to deepen the brand's impression of Sang Jiuyue.

Before they knew it, the dinner was coming to an end. Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue said goodbye to everyone at the door. "Thank you so much for coming today, Tangtang." Sang Jiuyue said sincerely, with gratitude in her eyes. "Why are you being polite to me? As long as you are happy, that's all." Tangtang replied with a smile, and the two held hands tightly, as if at this moment, their friendship was even more indestructible.

On the way home, Sang Jiuyue leaned on the car seat, thinking about everything that happened tonight, her heart was full of emotion. She knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more opportunities and challenges waiting for her in the future. And her friendship with Tangtang also became deeper in this dazzling dinner. This dinner was not only a social feast, but also an important turning point in her life, opening a door to new opportunities for her. However, the lies she wove about Sang Shuwan and Jiang Zimo were like thorns hidden in the dark. She didn't know when they would hurt this friendship, and she didn't know what kind of waves would be set off when the truth surfaced in the future.

On a sunny afternoon, President Qi asked Sang Jiuyue to meet him in a high-end private club. Inside the club, the crystal chandelier cast a soft light, the air was filled with a faint floral scent, and expensive artworks were placed around. Every detail showed luxury. President Qi sat on a comfortable sofa, wearing a well-cut Chanel suit, and the Rolex watch she wore flashed a low-key light under the light. When she saw Sang Jiuyue walk in, she smiled and waved her hand to signal her to come over.

"Jiyue," said General Manager Qi, looking Sang Jiyue up and down, "I see you've been busy with exercise and shaping your body these days, and you don't pay much attention to dressing up. You know, in our industry, image is very important." As she spoke, she clapped her hands lightly, and the assistant next to her immediately pushed over an exquisite hanger with several gorgeous dresses hanging on it. "These are a few high-end dresses I picked for you. They are limited editions worldwide. Try them on."

Sang Jiuyue's eyes lit up instantly. She walked forward and gently stroked the exquisite fabric, her eyes full of surprise. One of them was a Dior starry sky themed dress. The deep blue fabric was embroidered with star patterns outlined by silver silk threads, and matched with a shawl of the same material, inlaid with Swarovski crystals like the twinkling stars in the night sky; the other was a Valentino retro-style red dress. The slim cut could perfectly show the body curve, and the lace at the neckline and cuffs was exquisite. "Wow, President Qi, this is too beautiful!" She couldn't wait to pick up the Dior dress and walked quickly into the fitting room.

After a while, Sang Jiuyue came out in her slim champagne evening gown, which was inlaid with tiny pearls and rhinestones, and sparkled charmingly with her movements. She turned around in front of the mirror for a few times and was very satisfied with her appearance. At this time, she suddenly remembered that Tangtang had also been talking about the works of these high-end designers recently, so she took out her mobile phone and called Tangtang.

"Tangtang, come here!" Sang Jiuyue said excitedly, "I have a few super beautiful haute couture dresses here. They were picked for me by President Qi. They are limited editions worldwide. You have always liked this kind of design, so come and try them on."

On the other end of the phone, Tangtang was flipping through a fashion magazine in her spacious study. When she heard the words "Haute couture dress" and "limited edition worldwide", her eyes widened and she immediately became alert. "Really? I'll be there right away!" She responded excitedly, hurriedly put down the magazine, stood up, tidied her clothes, and walked out of the house quickly and got into the Bentley car parked at the door.

When Mr. Qi heard what Sang Jiyue said, his smile froze slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Jiyue, you are... I picked you specially for you, and I want you to shine at the dinner party. Don't let me down. I am training you with all my heart."

Sang Jiuyue quickly explained, "Mr. Qi, I know you are good to me, that's true, but Tangtang has helped me a lot. Her father held a dinner party and took me there, so I have to repay this favor. And if we try it on together, maybe the effect will be better, and we can get more different opinions."

After hearing this, Mr. Qi frowned slightly, but he didn't know what to say. He just sighed softly, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, thinking: This Sang Jiuyue always does things unconventionally at critical moments.

Not long after, Tangtang rushed to the club. As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the dress on the hanger. "Wow, this is so beautiful!" She exclaimed, and like Sang Jiuyue, her eyes were full of love. Tangtang was wearing a casual outfit of a designer brand and carrying a limited edition Hermès bag. Although she was not dressed up, she exuded the temperament of a rich girl.

Sang Jiuyue smiled and pulled Tangtang into the fitting room, helping her choose the retro red dress from Valentino. After Tangtang put it on, the effect was amazing. The slim fit highlighted her slender waist, and the retro style added a bit of charm to her. "Tangtang, you are so beautiful!" Sang Jiuyue praised, with a subtle complex expression in his eyes, with sincere appreciation and a hint of jealousy.

Tangtang happily spun around in front of the mirror, then walked directly to the waiter, took out her black card, and swiped it on the card machine. "I'll buy this set, Jiyue, thank you very much. And I'll pay for your set too." Tangtang said generously. For her, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket.

Sang Jiuyue smiled and waved her hand, "Ah, no need, our company's agent has already reserved this set for me, but it will arrive next month after next."

After hearing this, Tangtang immediately showed an envious expression and said, "Wow, sister, you have designer-made models. Can you make one for me? I'm willing to pay double the price."

Sang Jiuyue said generously: "Of course, we are all good sisters, why not talk about money." In fact, she was thinking that this could not only please Tangtang, but also show off her connections and resources in front of Tangtang, so why not do it.

President Qi stood aside, observing all this quietly. She saw that Sang Jiuyue handled Tangtang's enthusiasm skillfully, accepting Tangtang's kindness without making herself appear too dependent. She couldn't help but nod secretly in her heart. Sang Jiuyue is now better at winning people's hearts and knows how to use various opportunities to benefit herself, which is not in vain. Although this episode of Sang Jiuyue calling Tangtang was somewhat unexpected to her, in the long run, Sang Jiuyue's approach may bring her more potential benefits. A trace of relief flashed in President Qi's eyes. She knew that she had not misjudged the person. Sang Jiuyue was gradually growing in the complex environment of the entertainment industry and learned how to deal with the world of fame and fortune.

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while about the styles and matching of dresses. Tangtang shared a lot of her insights on fashion with Sang Jiuyue and Mr. Qi, and Sang Jiuyue agreed and cleverly led the topic to some of her experiences in the fashion circle, showing her expertise and knowledge. Mr. Qi occasionally interjected a few words, giving Sang Jiuyue some tips on social occasions, while also observing Tangtang's reaction, trying to dig out more resources that would be beneficial to Sang Jiuyue from Tangtang.

As time went by, the afterglow of the setting sun poured in through the windows of the club, tinging the entire space with a layer of gold. Tangtang looked at the time, stood up and said, "I'm so happy today. It's getting late. I have to go back to prepare other things for the dinner. Jiyue, President Qi, see you at the dinner."

Sang Jiuyue and Mr. Qi stood up to see Tangtang off, watching her car slowly drive away. Mr. Qi turned to Sang Jiuyue and said, "Although there were some minor setbacks today, overall you handled it well. Remember, you must seize the opportunity at the dinner to let more people see your value."

Sang Jiuyue nodded, her eyes revealing determination and expectation. She knew that the upcoming dinner would be an important turning point in her life, and she was fully prepared to shine on this stage, but she must not forget to maintain a good relationship with Tangtang. After all, this was one of the important boosters for her future development. In the following days, Sang Jiuyue began to carefully prepare her makeup and hairstyle for the dinner, repeatedly practicing the words to communicate with different people, not letting go of every detail, just to show the most perfect self at the dinner and achieve a breakthrough in her career. Tangtang was also busy with various matters for the dinner. She was looking forward to spending an unforgettable night at the dinner with Sang Jiuyue, unaware of Sang Jiuyue's complicated thoughts and some of the little tricks hidden behind them.

After saying goodbye to Sang Jiuyue and Mr. Qi, Tangtang got into the black Bentley, still immersed in the joy of trying on the dress just now. The sun shone through the car window and sprinkled on her face, outlining her sweet outline. She leaned back on the soft seat, and the appearance of those high-end dresses kept appearing in her mind, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the car. She glanced at the caller ID, and the corners of her mouth that had been raised suddenly drooped down, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and her expression became a little ugly. Sang Jiuyue was sitting next to Tangtang. She was originally lowering her head to organize her bag, and she looked up inadvertently and keenly captured the change in Tangtang's expression. She was moved, and a look of concern immediately appeared on her face. She asked softly: "Tangtang, what happened? You don't look very well all of a sudden."

Tangtang hesitated for a moment, her fingers gently stroking the screen of her phone, and finally decided to tell the truth. She sighed slightly and said, "Well, there is a boy who has been pursuing me. In fact, to be fair, he is not bad. His family is well-off. His parents are in business and are financially well-off. He works very hard and is a middle-level manager in a well-known company. He looks decent and his height is not bad. He is the type who will not lose face if you take him out. I also know in my heart that I can live a stable life with him. I want to be with him, but I don't know why, I always have a feeling in my heart that I don't want to agree to him now. Every time he asks me out, I am a little entangled whether to go on the date."

Sang Jiuyue had a gentle smile on her face, but her mind was like a fast-running machine, and she was thinking quickly: This might be a great opportunity to get closer to Tangtang. If she could help her with this, maybe Tangtang would be more willing to help her in the future. In this circle, connections are resources, and the family resources behind Tangtang are of great attraction to her. So, she took Tangtang's arm affectionately, the action was natural and enthusiastic, and said: "Oh, what's the big deal. Love matters can't be rushed. You must have your reasons for not wanting to agree. Bring him to meet me next time, and let me help you with some advice to see if this guy is handsome or not, and whether you are lucky enough to marry our Tangtang home. Maybe after we meet, I can help you sort out your thoughts. After all, I have been in love before, and I have some experience, maybe I can give you some advice."

After hearing this, Tangtang felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she looked at Sang Jiyue with gratitude: "Jiyue, only you can listen to me so patiently. In fact, I am also quite conflicted. He is really good to me. He sends flowers on holidays, and on Valentine's Day, he sent a bouquet customized by a top flower shop, a large bouquet of red roses, and the packaging was exquisite. He always cares about whether I have eaten or not, and whether I am tired from work. When I work overtime, he will order my favorite takeout for me. But I just lack the feeling of being moved. Tell me, is being moved really important when two people are together? Sometimes I even wonder if I am too picky."

Sang Jiuyue patted Tangtang's hand and said with the look of an experienced person, "Of course, heartbeat is important, but life cannot be based on heartbeat alone. His kindness to you is real and can be felt, which is also very precious. As for you, don't be too anxious to make a decision, spend more time with each other. Next time you meet, you can try to observe him from some small things, such as whether he really cares about your preferences. Just like you said he delivers takeout, see if he orders from your favorite restaurant and whether he pays attention to the details of your favorite flavors. His attitude when encountering disagreements is also crucial. If he quarrels with you over trivial matters, your life will be difficult in the future. Maybe as you get along with each other, you will know what you want."

Tangtang nodded thoughtfully: "You're right, I'm just too conflicted. Maybe I had too high expectations for love before, always thinking that I could meet the kind of love that lasts forever at first sight. Now that I think about it, that kind of love is hard to come by. I'm not a child anymore, and my family is starting to urge me to find a partner, so I'm actually under a lot of pressure."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and joked, "Oh, don't be so sad. When it comes to relationships, maybe one day you'll wake up and suddenly find everything. If he asks you out again, just go openly and treat every meeting as an opportunity to get to know each other. By the way, what does he do for a living? You said before that he works in a company, what exactly does he do?"

Tangtang said, "He works in finance, in a large investment company. He's usually very busy at work, but he'll come to me whenever he's free. Last time, I casually said I wanted to eat a cake from a certain store. That store is quite niche and in a remote location, so he went there the next day to buy it for me. I was quite touched at the time, but... that feeling was still a little off."

Sang Jiuyue's eyes lit up: "That sounds like he cares a lot. He's in finance, so he must be smart, and he might be able to give you some advice on financial management in the future. But it's not enough to just look at these, you also have to see if your three outlooks match. For example, his plans for the future life, does he want to continue to work hard in his career, or does he want to settle down and have children sooner? His views on family responsibilities, how he thinks housework should be divided, and what he thinks about the support of both parents. These are all things you'll have to face in your life in the future."

Tangtang listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, and Sang Jiuyue answered them patiently. The two of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere in the car became more and more harmonious. As Sang Jiuyue talked, she thought to herself: If Tangtang really gets together with this young man in finance, maybe she can get to know some people in the financial circle through Tangtang. If she can get investment, she will have more resources to use in her acting career.

Tangtang suddenly asked, "Jiyue, do you think I should just tell him that I'm not sure about my feelings yet and ask him to give me some time? I'm afraid that this will hurt his feelings, after all, he has always been very good to me."

Sang Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to be honest. You can find a suitable time, such as during a date, and tell him calmly. You can say that you are grateful for his pursuit and dedication, and you cherish the time you have spent together, but feelings are very important to you, and you don't want to make a hasty decision. You hope he can give you some time to seriously think about your relationship. This way you can express your thoughts without making him feel that you are perfunctory."

Tangtang nodded: "Yeah, you have a point. I'm just afraid that he will misunderstand and think that I am hanging him."

Sang Jiuyue patted Tangtang on the shoulder and said, "No, as long as you express it sincerely, if he really likes you, he will understand you. Moreover, maybe after this communication, your relationship can go a step further."

Before we knew it, the car had already arrived at the gate of Tangtang's villa. The European-style villa looked particularly majestic under the shade of green trees, and the iron gate slowly opened.

After Tangtang got off the car, she said to Sang Jiuyue: "Thanks to you today, I feel much better after talking to you for so long. I will tell you the situation next time I meet him."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, tell me if you have anything. Go in and have a good rest. If you have a date, tell me in advance and I will help you with what to wear and how to dress up. I guarantee that you will look beautiful."

Watching Tangtang walk into the house, the smile on Sang Jiuyue's face gradually faded. She knew in her heart that Tangtang's emotional entanglement might become a card in her hand. If she could help Tangtang solve this problem, it would not only deepen their friendship, but she might also be able to obtain some resources that would be beneficial to her from Tangtang's emotional relationship. After all, if Tangtang's suitor has certain connections in the financial circle, it might also play a role in promoting her future career development. While thinking, Sang Jiuyue sat back in the car, with a shrewd light flashing in her eyes, and began to plan how to cleverly intervene in Tangtang's emotional affairs and maximize her own interests. She thought that the next time she met Tangtang, she could share with her some more skills in getting along in love, further consolidate her relationship with Tangtang, and at the same time get a deeper understanding of the suitor's situation to see what potential value she could dig out from him.

After Tangtang finished chatting with Sang Jiuyue, she got out of the car and walked towards her villa. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned back in confusion and saw the boy who had been pursuing her standing in front of her, panting.

Tangtang frowned slightly, with a hint of blame in her tone: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come to me and wait for me to contact you?" The boy looked apologetic and said eagerly: "Sorry, I really can't wait to see you. I have been busy with an important project recently and have been working overtime until late every day. I finally have some time today, so I hurried to see you." As he spoke, he was breathing heavily, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had hurried all the way here.

The boy calmed down his breath and was about to continue talking when he looked up and saw Sang Jiyue standing beside him. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes and he pointed at Sang Jiyue and said, "Yeah, Sang Jiyue, you are Sang Jiyue?" Sang Jiyue still had her signature smile on her face and responded elegantly, "Yes."

The boy's expression suddenly turned ugly. He looked at Tangtang, his tone full of confusion and doubt: "Haven't you always been against Sang Shuwan? You also made the entertainment industry a mess, and all kinds of rumors are flying around. Tangtang, why are you with her?"

When Tangtang heard this, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She widened her eyes and said angrily: "What did you say? Just say whatever you know! Jiyue is my good friend and I trust her very much." The boy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Tangtang to be so angry. He tried to explain: "Tangtang, you may not understand, it's been spread outside..."

Tangtang interrupted him and said loudly: "I only believe what I see and what I feel. Jiyue is very good to me, she is not what you said. Why do you judge her based on some hearsay?" Sang Jiyue stood aside, with a wronged look on her face, and said softly: "Tangtang, it's okay, I know many people have misunderstandings about me, maybe this gentleman has also heard bad rumors."

The boy looked at Sang Jiuyue with a frown on his face. "Miss Sang, I didn't mean to target you. It's just that the rumors are so detailed that they say you did whatever it took to grab resources, and that you clashed with Sang Shuwan many times, and even deliberately made things difficult for her on the set." Sang Jiuyue's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath and said, "I admit that Sang Shuwan and I are in competition at work, but I have never done anything malicious. Competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and it's inevitable that there will be some false rumors. Maybe someone is deliberately making trouble behind the scenes."

Tangtang held Sang Jiyue's hand and said to the boy firmly: "I believe Jiyue. If you really want to develop a relationship with me, you should respect my friends and don't easily believe those unfounded rumors." The boy sighed helplessly: "Tangtang, I'm worried that you will be deceived. After all, things in the entertainment industry are too complicated. I'm afraid that you are naive and will get hurt."

Tangtang's tone softened a bit, but she was still firm: "I know you care about me, but you can't define my friend based on rumors. If you really care about me, try to understand Jiyue, understand the real her, and don't be misled by those rumors." The boy looked at Tangtang's determined eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Tangtang, since you said so, I will try to understand. I was too impulsive and said nonsense without investigating clearly, Miss Sang, I'm sorry."

Sang Jiuyue smiled and waved her hands: "It's okay, I understand. I hope we can get along well in the future. After all, Tangtang is very important to me." The boy looked at Sang Jiuyue, his doubts were not completely eliminated, but in order not to make Tangtang angry, he decided to put aside his prejudice temporarily.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Tangtang said, "Okay, since you're all here, let's go sit inside. It's a good opportunity for you to have a good chat and get to know each other." The boy and Sang Jiuyue looked at each other and nodded. The three of them walked towards the villa, with Tangtang walking in the middle. She secretly hoped that the boy and Sang Jiuyue could eliminate the barriers between them. After all, one was someone she cared about, and the other was someone she regarded as a friend. She didn't want any conflicts to arise between them. Sang Jiuyue looked calm on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking about how to establish a better image in front of the boy, and at the same time she was thinking about how this little episode would affect her relationship with Tangtang. The boy secretly observed Sang Jiuyue as he walked. His heart was still full of doubts. He didn't know what kind of person this woman who was constantly rumored in the entertainment industry was, and he was not sure whether he could really accept her as Tangtang's friend.

After the boy left with a heavy step, Sang Jiuyue looked at his receding back, a mocking arc appeared on her lips, and she whispered: "Humph, he wants to drive a wedge between me and Tangtang with just these few words, he really overestimates his own abilities." She thought she was complaining quietly enough, but when she glanced at Tangtang inadvertently, she caught a hint of suspicion on her face. However, that suspicion only accounted for one point, and the remaining nine points were all full of trust in her.

Sang Jiuyue felt warm in her heart. She took Tangtang's arm and said affectionately, "Come on, let's go shopping. Don't let that annoying guy ruin your mood." Tangtang smiled back, and they walked side by side towards the bustling market.

The market was bustling with people. There were all kinds of stalls, shouts, and laughter. As they walked, Tangtang suddenly tugged at Sang Jiyue's sleeve, stared straight ahead, and exclaimed, "Jiyue, look!" Sang Jiyue followed her gaze and saw a very beautiful model standing in the middle of the crowd.

The model's name was Ceci. Her long black hair was tied up high, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair cheeks, adding a bit of charm. She was wearing a well-tailored retro suit. The slim fit perfectly outlined her graceful figure, and the shoulder pad design added a bit of heroic spirit to her. The exquisite metal buttons on the suit shone coldly in the sun, reflecting the dazzling diamond earrings on her left ear. Ceci's facial features were deep and three-dimensional, and her eyes were like deep pools, revealing a mysterious and charming atmosphere. Under her high nose bridge, there was a thin lip with beautiful lines, which was slightly raised at the moment, with a faint smile. She had a unique temperament, with the elegance and intelligence of a mature woman, and a hint of unruly coolness. The people around her were attracted by her charm, forming a small encirclement.

Sang Jiuyue couldn't help but stare in amazement. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said with emotion: "This is too beautiful, just like she walked out of a fashion magazine." Tangtang nodded vigorously, her eyes full of envy. At this moment, Ceci seemed to notice their gazes, turned her head slightly, and gave them a friendly smile. This smile, like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelled the remaining haze in Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue's hearts. Ceci walked towards them with elegant steps, her high heels tapping the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and every step was like walking on a catwalk. "Hi, hello, judging from your eyes, do you like this dress very much?" Ceci's voice was crisp and pleasant, with a hint of playfulness.

Tangtang blushed with nervousness, and stammered, "Yes... yes, you are so beautiful, we were attracted to you at once." Sang Jiuyue also nodded vigorously and added, "We have never seen such a charming person." Hearing this, Ceci smiled happily, "Thank you for your compliments. Actually, I am promoting a performance show today." As she spoke, she took two beautiful flyers from the assistant next to her and handed them to Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue, "I will be performing at the theater in the city center this weekend. If you are interested, you can come and see it." Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue took the flyers, and their eyes lit up. There were all kinds of stunning looks of Ceci printed on them, and the time and place of the performance were written next to them. "Wow, we will definitely go!" Tangtang said excitedly.

In the next few days, Tangtang and Sang Jiuyue were looking forward to the weekend show. Finally, the weekend arrived, and the two came to the theater early.
