Song Jia slowly opened the car door and got into the back seat with Lu Zhen. Ye Xuan stood outside and bent down to look at the two of them. “Best of luck.
You must win!”
Ye Xuan was naturally talking about taking down the role that was very important to Lu Zhen. Seeing that Ye Xuan had nothing else to say, Song Jia closed the car window and instructed the chauffeur calmly, “Let’s go.”
The car started and Lu Zhen watched the scenery on both sides of the road quickly retreat. At the thought that Song Jia was sitting beside her and there was less than a few centimeters between their thighs, Lu Zhen felt the air suddenly thicken.
Song Jia looked out of the window, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside. The scene in his mind stopped at the scene where Lu Zhen appeared in front of him and played repeatedly. Every detail was extremely clear.
“Is your insomnia better?”
Song Jia came back to his senses and turned to look at Lu Zhen. He was stunned for a moment before nodding. “I’m better.”
Lu Zhen smiled faintly. “Don’t give yourself too much pressure. That’s what you advised me to do. You have to do it yourself.”
Song Jia’s heart seemed to be slowly washed away by warm water. His lips curled up slightly. “Okay.”
As night fell, luxury cars arrived at the foot of the capital, Xiangshan. The host of the banquet was obviously of high status. Those who came to the banquet were either wealthy families or high-ranking officials.
The venue of the banquet was a luxurious white building built on an artificial lake. Lu Zhen and Song Jia walked into the hall.
Along the way, many people’s gazes stopped on Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen was a popular A-list celebrity, but in the eyes of the people attending this banquet, she was the least qualified to attend such a high-class banquet. She must have relied on the man standing beside her to barely squeeze into such a high-class circle.
If it were any other celebrity, the people attending the banquet might not have paid much attention.
However, Lu Zhen shocked them. This was because Lu Zhen, who was wearing a traditional design cheongsam, looked too elegant and noble. It was not a problem to say that she was the daughter of a legendary tycoon.
Ordinary small celebrities would instantly expose their identities even if they racked their brains to come to such an occasion. The gap between social classes was definitely not to be crossed like that. Everyone’s charisma had traces of their previous lives. Even if they wanted to pretend to be like others, they would be instantly seen through.
Feeling some gazes on her, Lu Zhen was still a little nervous. She didn’t come to such occasions often. If not for Song Jia, she wouldn’t even know what to do now.
Song Jia felt Lu Zhen’s body stiffen and comforted her. “It’s fine. Just treat these people as big radishes in a radish pit.”
Song Jia’s consolation almost made Lu Zhen laugh out loud. How could there be such an analogy? The people around her were all big shots. However, after chatting with Song Jia for a while, her nervousness eased a lot. She looked around and asked in a low voice, “When is Mr. Samir coming?”
“I’m not sure, but I don’t think he’ll stay long.”
Lu Zhen wanted to ask how she was going to talk to Samir, but seeing Song Jia’s calm expression, she didn’t say anything.
Anyway, Song Jia definitely had a way. During the banquet, Song Jia glanced at his cell phone and said to Lu Zhen, “I’ll leave tor a while. I’ll be back soon.”
Lu Zhen nodded. Seeing that there were strangers around, she whispered, “Then come back quickly.” Without Song Jia, she was really uncomfortable at such an occasion.
Song Jia’s heart softened and he almost stopped in his tracks. He said gently,
“Yes, very soon. If you’re hungry, get the waiter to bring you something to eat.”
After Song Jia left, Lu Zhen sat obediently. From time to time, she would look up at the people passing by and size up their words and actions.
As an actress, Lu Zhen was already used to observing all kinds of people in life. This could help her shape her role better. On the other hand, it was precisely because she was an actress that she could pretend to be calm at this moment, so that others could not see the nervousness and discomfort in her heart.
Just as Lu Zhen was observing everyone, a man suddenly strode in from the door. The man was in his early twenties and was wearing a purple-gray suit. There were fine glitters on the fabric of the suit, making the man look especially young and energetic.
However, contrary to his age, there was an inextinguishable coldness between the man’s brows. His eyes were filled with an uncomfortable aggression. His pale face and extremely pale lips reminded one of some cold-blooded animals..
