The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 445 The Last Supper (Part 4) Tang's Performance Rules, Show Time!

Since Nuolan moved into Love Apartment on Thursday, she has had some interaction with most of the people in the apartment.

Even though her work hours often overlapped with everyone else's, she could still get together and chat for a bit, except for Qin Yumo.

There are only three girls living in the two suites, but since Hu Yifei and Tang Youyou live with Wen Sheng in 3601, Nuolan has more contact with these two girls.

As for Qin Yumo... Although she wanted to get to know him better, she didn't have much time to spare, and because he was deliberately avoiding her, she had hardly had any chance to talk to him in the past two days.

They sat at the same table for dinner on Thursday, the day they first arrived, but after the incident in the bathroom, Nuolan's mood worsened, and Qin Yumo only wanted to escape, so that opportunity was lost.

So, at the banquet tonight, Nuolan approached Qin Yumo with a smile.

Upon hearing Nuolan's words, Qin Yumo felt her breath catch in her throat, her mind went blank, and only one thought remained—

Did Nuolan find out about her affair with Wensheng?
While eating shrimp and keeping an eye on the situation, Wen Sheng frowned. Although he and Nuolan had a deep discussion about the incident of Yu Mo kissing him that night, it was clear that Ms. Nuolan had no intention of letting it go.

She just couldn't understand why she didn't go to Yu Mo earlier, but waited until the banquet to approach him.

However, looking at the current situation, the dog-man knew that he had to stop it before it got worse, otherwise Yu Mo would definitely not be able to handle it.

The other residents in the apartment, who were also watching the situation closely, felt that something was very wrong, and the feeling of a wife encountering a mistress resurfaced in their minds.

The reason for saying "again" is naturally because it was the same when Yu Mo met Tina a few months ago.

At this moment, Qin Yumo looked at Nuolan, who was smiling at her, and after a brief moment of distraction, forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Because of Wen Sheng? Why would you say that?"

“I’ve noticed that everyone in the apartment, including Awen, has been chatting and laughing these past few days. You’ve been the only one who hasn’t been around much. Did he upset you?” Nuolan said softly, a hint of apology in her eyes. “I know what kind of guy he is. He likes to make girls angry. If that’s the case, I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”

Looking at Nuolan, who was holding a wine glass and looking like she was apologizing on behalf of her husband, Qin Yumo's brain, which had just regained its senses, went blank again.

Even Hu Yifei, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, looked completely bewildered.

After hearing what Nuolan said to Qin Yumo, she was extremely tense. She even thought that if things really got bad, she might as well beat up Zeng Xiaoxian to attract attention.

Anyway, she wanted to punch him just now.

As a result, Nolan actually strained her back in the end.

what's the situation?
However, compared to Yifei, who was relieved to be able to hear what was happening, Lu Ziqiao and Tang Youyou, who were a little further away, felt that the situation was becoming increasingly critical.

They couldn't hear what the two women were saying, so they could only guess at the situation from Yu Mo and Nuolan's expressions.

From their perspective, Yu Mo's expression was a mix of nervousness, forced smiles, and shock—the classic trio of being caught cheating.

Hmm... Yu Mo's bewildered expression at the end was also shocking from their perspective.

Nolan is easier to understand.

A forced smile, a cold laugh, or a disdainful smile directed at a mistress on the verge of catching her cheating.

Lu Ziqiao: Oh no, it seems Nuolan knows who her love rival is.

Tang Youyou: No way? There wasn't a single sign!

Lu Ziqiao: What kind of time is this to need omens? Even if she doesn't know yet, she's definitely on her way to finding out.

Tang Youyou: What should we do then?
Lu Ziqiao: What can we do? Our plans are all ruined now. Are we going to have to rely on Zhang Wei?

Then, the aunt and nephew looked at Zhang Wei, who was sitting across from them with his mouth stuffed with meat and a dazed expression, also watching him intently, and immediately gave up on this unrealistic idea.

Tang Youyou: Relying on Zhang Wei? I'd rather believe Nuolan went to make friends with Yu Mo.

Lu Ziqiao: What's the point of saying all this now? It's all your fault, Auntie. I told you finding a fake boyfriend for Yu Mo was useless. You should have just followed my plan. But you surrendered so quickly.

Tang Youyou: How can you blame me? Nuolan was going to recommend me for the lead role!
Lu Ziqiao: Come on, you can't even play a fake love rival well, how can you expect to play the female lead well?

Tang Youyou: Damn it! You can question my character, but you can't question my acting skills!

Lu Ziqiao: Then you'd better try to make up for the lost time!
Tang Youyou: I...

Seeing Qin Yumo's increasingly dangerous situation, Nuolan seemed to be forcing Yumo to drink. Yumo clearly waved her hand to refuse, but it didn't work. On one side was her good sister with whom she had been sworn sisters for so long, and on the other side was the talent scout who was about to recommend her to play the female lead. Tang Youyou was caught in a deep dilemma.

Turning her head again, she saw her eldest nephew's expression of clear distrust, and Tang Youyou felt a sudden shock.

To reiterate, while any aspect of her can be questioned, her acting skills are beyond reproach.

Tang Youyou: Nephew, I'll show you what the Tang-style acting method is all about!

the other side.

"Nolan, you've misunderstood. Wensheng didn't make me angry. I'm just really too busy with work. Besides, you and Wensheng are living together now. Wouldn't it be like being a third wheel if I went over?"

Upon learning that Nuolan had come to toast him because of this, Qin Yumo quickly waved her hand, indicating that the other party was overthinking it.

"What do you mean by 'third wheel'? Ah Wen and I have been together for so many years, it's not like we have to be glued together these last few days." Nuolan smiled and added, "Besides, I've heard you're a senior beauty consultant at L'Oréal for a while now, and I'd really like to ask you for advice on skincare!"

"Your skin is so good, I should be the one asking you for advice."

“Systematic learning is always better,” Nolan said with a smile. “Come on, let’s have a drink first.”

Although she felt that the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected, Qin Yumo breathed a sigh of relief and didn't make a fuss. She immediately clinked glasses with Nuolan.

However, when Nuolan smiled and brought the wine glass to her lips, she glanced at Wen Sheng and then stopped. Then, the smile on her face vanished instantly, leaving only her wildly twitching eyes.

In her line of sight, she saw Tang Youyou sitting next to her ex-husband, shamelessly leaning close to him, their hands even linked together—were they about to drink a toast together?

"what happened?"

Qin Yumo, who had just taken a sip of wine, noticed that the other person had stopped what they were doing and that their expression had suddenly turned ugly. She followed the other person's gaze and was dumbfounded.

what's the situation? !

"Youyou, what are you doing?" Wen Sheng was equally puzzled.

He was keeping an eye on Nuolan and Yumo's situation, and was even prepared to go and mediate, but he was also taken aback by Nuolan's words.

What's going on? Wasn't Nuolan looking for Yumo because of that kiss from before?
Listening to the two women's calm yet eerie conversation, Wen Sheng was somewhat bewildered.

But at that moment, even more strangely, Tang Youyou suddenly pulled her chair closer and took his hand.

"Nothing much, Teacher Wen, I just wanted to have a drink with you," Tang Youyou said, blinking her big eyes and raising her glass.

Wen Sheng tried to pull his hand away, but found that this Sichuan girl was quite strong and wouldn't let go.

"If you're going to drink, then drink properly. What you're doing now... what kind of behavior is this?" Wen Sheng, speechless, never expected that he would actually say those four words.

He was already a bit confused about the complicated situation, and then Tang Youyou got involved as if she had taken the wrong medicine. Could he even enjoy the meal in peace?
He didn't even need to look up; he could already feel a pair of murderous eyes staring at him from the other side.

"I heard from Nuolan that you released a song recently, Teacher Wen. Could I... listen to it?" Tang Youyou, who was holding Wen Sheng tightly with one hand and holding him down with the other, continued to speak with a smile.

“I haven’t told everyone about my studio yet. You can listen to whatever you want later.” Wen Sheng looked at the two hands that were holding his arm and his lips twitched. “But there’s no need to be so… uh, men and women shouldn’t touch each other.”

Another sentence that she would never have said before slipped out of her mouth. However, Tang Youyou ignored the second half of the sentence and still smiled and said, "Isn't this to express my respect for you? Come, Teacher Wen, let me toast you."

After saying that, she took Wen Sheng's arm and raised her wine glass.

"This……"

"Please give me some face, Teacher Wen~"

"..."

At this moment, apart from Nuolan and Qin Yumo, others had already noticed this scene.

"What is Youyou doing?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked in surprise.

Lu Ziqiao also looked surprised: "A hen?"

"Is she crazy? Or is she betting that Nuolan is blind?"

"A hen!"

On the other side, Moran was also a little surprised and couldn't help but nudge Zhang Wei next to her: "Your friend Wen Sheng... is a couple with Nuolan, right?"

"I..." Zhang Wei felt that his eyes couldn't keep up at this moment. He hated that he couldn't see left with his left eye and right with his right eye, but now he couldn't understand the situation on either side.

From the moment he entered this private room tonight, his mind has been a bit foggy.

At this moment, Wen Sheng, who was being toasted, also had no idea what Tang Youyou was up to.

But when he caught a glimpse of Ms. Nuo walking towards him expressionlessly out of the corner of his eye, he immediately picked up his wine glass, and just as Tang Youyou was about to drink the "cross-cupped wine," he gave his hand a slight jerk—

The wine in their glasses immediately spilled onto their clothes.

"Oops, my hand is shaking!"

Wen Sheng exclaimed in surprise, then immediately pulled away a little distance.

Tang Youyou's clothes were also soaked. Seeing that her "mission had almost failed," she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But when she saw Nuolan walking over, she felt that this performance shouldn't be considered a failure.

However, seeing Wen Sheng's refusal earlier, Tang Youyou knew she still needed to discuss the plan with him.

Previously, I didn't say anything because I felt the plan was too much of a target of Nuolan and I was worried that Wensheng would side with his ex-wife.

But the situation is urgent now, and we have to try to persuade Wen Sheng to help cooperate... at least we should make him feel sorry for Yu Mo, right?

"Excuse me, excuse me, Teacher Wen, shall we go to the restroom to clean up?" Tang Youyou said, trying to pull Wen Sheng up, but then Nuolan's voice came over, "Wen, you can't even hold a wine glass properly. Let me take you to the restroom to clean up."

"..."

Wen Sheng dodged Tang Youyou's hand and stood up next to Ms. Nuo.

Having lived this long, he had never been so clear about his stance when facing two women.

Tang Youyou thought to herself, "Oh no, I don't have a chance to persuade Teacher Wen now." When she heard Nuolan say this, her first instinct was to refuse first and then think about how things would develop.

"Um, there are tissues on the table, I'll just wipe it here..."

"Tissues won't get you clean, and it's uncomfortable to wear wet clothes. There's a hairdryer in the bathroom, let me dry you off for you." Nuolan interrupted Tang Youyou and then grabbed her wrist.

This time, her smile was truly forced and insincere.

“Actually, I was only a little wet…” Wen Sheng frowned, and when he saw Ms. Nuo looking at him coldly, he sighed and shut his mouth.

With her patience wearing thin, Nuolan turned to everyone and forced a smile, saying, "You guys keep eating, I'll take them to the restroom to dry their clothes."

Without waiting for anyone else to react, she took Tang Youyou's arm with one hand and pulled Wen Sheng's hand with the other, and walked out of the private room.

Hmm... Holding Tang Youyou's arm both shows that the two are still very close at this moment, and also prevents the other from running away.

After the three left, the people at the table looked at each other and suddenly felt that the food and wine on the table didn't taste so good anymore.

Hu Yifei, who was the first to react, asked Lü Ziqiao, "Ziqiao, did your aunt eat too much or something?"

"No, Auntie...she sacrificed herself to blow up the bunker." Lu Ziqiao wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of his eye.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei, sensing the seriousness and confusion of the situation, immediately stood up and said, "No, I have to go and see. What if it really is... I have to try to persuade them."

So another person left the private room.

The remaining people lost their appetite even more.

“Zhang Wei… your friends… seem to have a rather complicated relationship,” Moran couldn’t help but comment.

……

Inside the restroom at the end of the corridor outside the private room.

After pulling the two of them in, Nuolan let go of their hands. At this moment, she stopped pretending and just quietly looked at them without saying a word.

"How about we wipe the clothes first?"

Wen Sheng coughed lightly, turned around and pulled a stack of toilet paper from the cardboard box provided in the restroom. He kept a few sheets for himself and stuffed the rest into Tang Youyou's hands, who was staring at him "obsessed".

Wen Sheng's head is throbbing. What on earth is going on?
Just as Tang Youyou took the tissue, Hu Yifei rushed in, and all three of them turned to look at her.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the sink was awkward, she quickly forced a laugh to ease the tension, saying, "I came to use the restroom. Perfect timing, Youyou, let me help you clean up."

"Wait a minute, Yifei," Nuolan finally spoke. "I have something I want to say to Youyou."

"Nolan, don't be angry. Youyou just drank too much. I'll drag her in now and help her sober up." Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Hu Yifei immediately tried to separate them. After saying that, she pulled Tang Youyou and headed into the women's restroom.

"Yifei, wait a minute, I'm not drunk. I also have something I want to say to Nuolan."

Unexpectedly, Tang Youyou broke free from Hu Yifei's hand and looked at Nuolan with a gaze containing complex emotions.

Hu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, while Nuolan raised an eyebrow and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Nolan, thank you for recommending me for the lead role in the TV series, but I'm sorry, there are other more important things and people in my life than this opportunity."

Professional actress Tang Youyou suppressed her heartache and spoke with deep emotion.

Tang's first rule of acting: Don't give the right to speak to your opponent; the show is something you have to fight for!

Her gaze slowly moved from Nuolan's face to Wensheng, then back to Nuolan's face, and she spoke in a more affectionate and resolute tone:

"That's right, I like Teacher Wen. I've kissed him. It's love, and that can't be denied!"
