I failed again

In the evening, Bai Ci brought Jiang Ruoyuan to the Mingsheng Club.

Most people had arrived in the box, and they were all a little surprised to see Bai Ci bringing someone over.

Is today an auspicious day? Forget about Gu Ruiwen introducing his boyfriend to them. After all, there have been rumors before.

But what about Bai Ci? Why did he bring someone here without making any noise?

Zhao Mingzhe was the first one who couldn't help but ask, "Bai Ci, who is this?"

Bai Ci introduced, "This is my friend, Jiang Ruoyuan. He has been staying at my house lately. I was afraid he would be lonely at the party tonight, so I brought him along."

As he spoke, he introduced Zhao Mingzhe and the others to Jiang Ruoyuan one by one.

Jiang Ruoyuan greeted everyone politely, and then was pulled to a corner by Bai Ci to sit.

Zhao Mingzhe looked at the two of them, nudged Qian Yao next to him with his elbow, and whispered, "Do you think Bai Ci is the kind of person who would let his friends stay at his house and bring people to parties because he's afraid his friends will be lonely?"

Qian Yao rolled his eyes and said, "How is that possible? We've been friends for so many years and you still don't understand him?"

Those childhood friends had rarely even lived in the Bai family, let alone gone there.

"Of course I understand!" Zhao Mingzhe said, "But he just said we're just friends, not boyfriends."

If he really was her boyfriend, Bai Ci would have brought him here, so there would be no need to hide him.

Qian Yao looked at Jiang Ruoyuan who was playing with his phone in the corner, and Bai Ci who was sitting next to him and watching him playing with his phone, and said, "Maybe it's because he hasn't caught up with her yet?"

Zhao Mingzhe followed his gaze and said, "But Bai Ci's eyes don't look like that either."

It was a little softer than usual, but it still didn't look like he was looking at his sweetheart.

"Then I don't know." Qian Yao shrugged.

Zhao Mingzhe wanted to say something when he saw the door of the box was pushed open. He looked over excitedly, but saw Liu Xing walking in. He withdrew his gaze with some lack of interest.

Liu Xing was deeply hurt by his action, "What's wrong, Mingzi, seeing that it's not Ruiwen and his boyfriend but me who have this expression, do you have any opinion about me?"

"Hey, how do you know that I have a lot of complaints about you?" Zhao Mingzhe asked.

Liu Xing pretended to hit Zhao Mingzhe, but Zhao Mingzhe dodged him with a smile.

"Besides, compared to you, we definitely want to meet Ruiwen and his boyfriend more. We want to see who is the person who can win Ruiwen over and even directly announce his fiancée's identity at An Jinghe's birthday party." As he said this, Zhao Mingzhe also asked the people in the box, "Is that so?"

But I didn't reply to him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Liu Xing curled his lips and said as he sat down, "Yes, yes, you are right!"

“By the way, did you know that Ruiwen took people to the Gu family’s old house today?” Liu Xing said.

"Fuck, what's going on? They're bringing him to meet the parents so soon?" Zhao Mingzhe was shocked. "At this rate, do we have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate tomorrow and hold the wedding the day after tomorrow?"

Zhao Mingzhe imagined the scene of Gu Ruiwen coming over and sending wedding invitations to them one by one, and he was shocked.

Liu Xing looked at Zhao Mingzhe in a speechless manner, "What are you thinking? He just went to meet a parent. It really won't develop into what you said."

Zhao Mingzhe wanted to defend himself, but Qian Yao held him down.

"What is the reaction from Patriarch Gu? Is there any news?" Qian Yao asked.

"I don't know what the reaction was. I only know that the three of them had lunch together at noon, and then Ruiwen took his people away." Liu Xing said.

"Then we can't be sure what Patriarch Gu's attitude is towards this person who suddenly appeared." Qian Yao pondered, "If Patriarch Gu objects, then Ruiwen will probably have a hard time being with that person."

"Indeed. Have you found out the identity of that person?" Liu Xing asked. He sent people to investigate, but Ruiwen protected the person very strictly. Not to mention his identity, he didn't even know his name.

However, I saw that person's face in the surveillance video of the An family. He had a cute baby face, which made people feel good about him.

But, for some reason, Liu Xing always felt that the man looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"You can't find it out, so you think we can?" Qian Yao replied. He only knew that the man seemed to appear next to Gu Ruiwen suddenly, but he had no idea when and how he appeared.

Zhao Mingzhe agreed with a few words, and Liu Xing didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Liu Xing looked at Bai Ci who was sitting in the corner watching Jiang Ruoyuan play games and asked, "Where's Bai Ci? Didn't find him either?"

Hey, who is that person next to Bai Ci? Liu Xing was a little confused, he had never seen him before.

Bai Ci looked up at Liu Xing and said nonchalantly, "Won't we know when people come?"

This attitude clearly shows that he knows something but doesn't want to say it.

Liu Xing wanted to say something else when he saw Bai Ci looking at Zhao Mingzhe with a gloating look on his face and said, "Mingzhe, remember to be mentally prepared when you meet someone later."

Zhao Mingzhe was still a little confused and didn't understand why Bai Ci suddenly said that.

Liu Xing and the others looked at Zhao Mingzhe, all of them confused as to why Bai Ci suddenly said that.

Suddenly, Liu Xing had a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to know why the person in the surveillance video felt familiar.

Isn’t that the waiter who was teased by Zhao Mingzhe and fed him wine in this box a month ago?

I didn't know why she suddenly started crying. Ruiwen tried to comfort her for a long time and finally carried her away.

It's only been a month, right? And it's already gotten to this point?

That waiter is really good at it.

After figuring this out, Liu Xing looked at Zhao Mingzhe, who was still confused, and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.

Poor Mingzi, she doesn’t know what she is about to face.

Liu Xing stopped paying attention to Zhao Mingzhe. He turned his attention to Bai Ci and asked, "Bai Ci, wouldn't you like to introduce the person next to you?"

Before Bai Ci could say anything, Zhao Mingzhe spoke up, "This is a friend of Bai Ci's who has been staying at his house recently. His name is Jiang Ruoyuan. Bai Ci introduced him to us before you came."

Jiang Ruoyuan heard someone introducing him. He looked up at the other person and said hello, "Hello, my name is Jiang Ruoyuan, Bai Ci's friend."

"Hello, my name is Liu Xing." Liu Xing said with a smile, looking at Bai Ci with deep meaning in his eyes.

When Jiang Ruoyuan saw that the other party introduced himself and went to talk to someone else, he lowered his head and continued to play his game.

At this time, the door of the box was opened again, and Gu Ruiwen walked in, followed by An Jingcheng.

The moment he saw An Jingcheng, Zhao Mingzhe was stunned.

Isn't this the waiter I teased that night?

He followed Riven in just to serve wine, right?

Zhao Mingzhe looked behind An Jingcheng without giving up, trying to find another person.

Everyone had a good memory, and almost everyone recognized An Jingcheng when they saw him. For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Zhao Mingzhe.

Gu Ruiwen held An Jingcheng's wrist and took him to sit down. Looking at their reactions, he knew that they must have recognized An Jingcheng.

"My boyfriend, An Jingcheng, you should all have met him." She looked at An Jingcheng and asked softly, "Jingcheng, is there anyone you don't know? Let me introduce you."

Liu Xing and his group of people were complaining in their hearts about Gu Ruiwen's double standards. When he spoke to An Jingcheng, his tone was so soft that it could drip water.

"Except Mr. Zhao, I don't know anyone else." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the box looked at Zhao Mingzhe again.

Zhao Mingzhe: ...Except Mr. Zhao!

He wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

He never thought that Gu Ruiwen’s boyfriend would be the waiter he teased that day!

The teasing took place in this box.

At this time, Zhao Mingzhe understood why Bai Ci had asked him to be mentally prepared. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!

Gu Ruiwen glanced at Zhao Mingzhe, coughed lightly, and then introduced someone to An Jingcheng.

The first person to be introduced was Bai Ci, and An Jingcheng responded quickly, "I also know Mr. Bai. I have met him before."

Gu Ruiwen praised like he was coaxing a child, "Jing Cheng has a really good memory."

"I also know the person next to Mr. Bai. He's Brother Jiang Yuan." An Jingcheng said.

Liu Xing was somewhat surprised and asked, "Isn't it Jiang Ruoyuan? Why did he become Jiang Yuan?"

An Jingcheng looked at Jiang Ruoyuan and said slowly, "I can't remember it wrong. Brother Jiang Yuan and I grew up together, how could I remember it wrong? Did Brother Jiang Yuan change his name later?"

Jiang Ruoyuan thought, oh no, it’s coming for him.

He put down his phone and quickly thought about the explanation in his mind. After making sure it matched what An Jingcheng had said to Gu Ruiwen before, he said, "Yes, after I left the orphanage, I felt that my original name was too rustic, so I changed it to this more elegant name."

"I just didn't expect Jing Cheng still remembered me." Jiang Ruoyuan said.

"Brother Jiang Yuan always protected me from having my food snatched away by others in the orphanage. I am so grateful to Brother Jiang Yuan. How could I forget him?" An Jingcheng said.

Listening to Jiang Ruoyuan's words, An Jingcheng was a little confused. When he said those words, he had already prepared how to explain to Gu Ruiwen.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruoyuan not only did not expose him, but also helped him to make up a story.

What does Jiang Ruoyuan want to do?

Also, I didn't ask him to make a different statement or anything, so how did he know that I told Gu Ruiwen that I came from an orphanage?

He remembered that when he said this to Gu Ruiwen, there were only him and Gu Ruiwen in the car besides the driver.

The driver was blocked by the barrier and couldn't hear what they were saying.

How did Jiang Ruoyuan know that?

Could it be that he had placed a bug on me or Gu Ruiwen at that time?

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in An Jingcheng's eyes.

I need to find an opportunity to be alone with Jiang Ruoyuan so that things can be done more easily.
