Chapter 1435: Calm on the Surface
"Has the release date of Director Leng's film been set?"
"Yes, it will be next week. I will ask Lianyi later to see if she minds."
Director Leng said with a smile.
Then the three of them gathered together and talked quietly.
At this time, Ruan Jihong was accompanied by Keiko Aono to the hospital for a check-up. He said that his knee pain was so severe that he couldn't bear it anymore and insisted on going to the hospital for a check-up.
Keiko Aono also looked worried and accompanied Ruan Jihong to the largest hospital in the city.
The Ruan family knew about the movements of the mother and son. It was obvious that the two were trying to make up for themselves. After all, the Ruan family did not invite them at such an important moment. People who were well-informed knew that Ruan Jihong was already an abandoned child. The only reason they didn't completely break up was because of the blood of the Ruan family in him.
What the mother and son did now was just to find an excuse for not attending the banquet, not that they really didn't want to attend. If the Ruan family valued them, they would have taken them over even if they were pushed in a wheelchair.
Lianyi knew that these two people did this just to provide her with a perfect alibi. If something really happened to the Ruan family, they would be the first suspects. Even if they knew it was related to them, they would not be able to do anything to them.
In fact, since the Ruan family opened the door to welcome guests, someone had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the inner courtyard of the Ruan family, but before the other party could do anything, they were held down by the National Security.
Until Lianyi officially appeared, the National Security and the Ruan family had dealt with five or six people and did not let these people succeed.
Heiye and Tanhua have been following Lianyi and Mrs. Ruan not far away, keeping an eye on all directions and paying attention to the surrounding situation at any time.
After a while, Heiye came to Lianyi and whispered two words in her ear:
"We caught six people, and they didn't have any lethal weapons on them. They claimed that they sneaked in to get exclusive information, and some people just came in to make trouble."
Lianyi nodded to show that she knew it. From the corner of her eye, she saw several people chatting with her adoptive parents, obviously wanting to follow her adoptive parents' path.
"You and Tanhua follow my adoptive parents. Their safety is very important. I have the ability to protect myself."
Heiye glanced at Lianyi and did not refuse. After all, their companion codenamed Philosophy was still lying on the hospital bed with a plaster cast, and his broken ribs were only a few centimeters away from piercing his lungs. He absolutely believed that Lianyi had the ability to protect himself.
"I understand. If necessary, you can call Shanque for support."
After saying this, Heiye retreated to Tanhua's side. Then the two of them came to Feng's parents without making a sound, and focused all their attention on the two of them.
There were indeed people here who brought their own juniors to introduce to the two of them. After all, the two were the adoptive parents recognized by the Ruan family. The two of them must have a say in Lianyi's marriage, so they all smiled and began to promote their own talents.
Feng's father and mother were not ignorant people. After coming to the Ruan family these two days, Lianyi talked to them a lot. They knew the complicated situation of the Ruan family, so the two of them just smiled to deal with the people who surrounded them and praised their children. When it came to the topic of Lianyi's marriage, they would explain tacitly:
"Lianyi just came back and has a lot of things to do. As for her marriage, Mrs. Ruan has arranged it. She is Lianyi's elder and must consider the problem more carefully than us. We will listen to Mrs. Ruan."
"Oh! Lianyi was raised by you. You must have the right to advise on the child's marriage. For the sake of the child, you can't listen to the Ruan family in everything!"
Immediately someone started to instigate.
Feng's parents just smiled and didn't say much, and even changed the topic directly.
Lianyi accompanied Mrs. Ruan for a walk, met many bigwigs, and sent Mrs. Ruan to rest.
Mrs. Ruan officially withdrew from the banquet on the grounds that she had the habit of going to bed early. The rest was left to the Ruan family and Lianyi. The old people were going to officially unload their burdens.
After sending Mrs. Ruan back to the backyard to rest, Lianyi returned to the banquet hall and first met the Ruan family members of the same generation as her, and then began to greet the people who took the initiative to come forward.
Although Lianyi was smiling and talking properly, she did not relax at all. When she was sure that the intruders from outside did not bring any lethal weapons, she knew that these people should be used to confuse the audience, or to divert attention.
Ruan Jihong has lived in the Ruan family for more than 20 years. He must have his own back-up plan and will not just lie down like this.
After Lianyi turned around, Liu Ziying, An Wen, and An Li pulled her to a corner to talk.
The three of them were happy for Lian Yi. After clinking their glasses to celebrate, they lowered their voices and said:
"You are now the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. Will you continue to pursue acting in the future?"
Lian Yi shook her glass and said:
"It depends! Although I have signed the contract, Mr. Zhou may not dare to let me fulfill it. I will join the head office of the Ruan Group in the future. I guess I will be busy for a long time and I will not be able to take care of my acting career."
"That's great. When you have time, you can set up an acting company and take me with you."
Liu Ziying has already begun to imagine the future.
"Your suggestion is good. I can consider it."
Lian Yi said seriously. Even if she is an actor, it is better to be the master of her own house.
After the three congratulated Lian Yi, they did not keep dragging her to let her go and busy. The three of them went to eat buffet together.
Mr. Zhou, Director Leng and Tang Ni then came to Lian Yi and smiled and congratulated her on her return to the Ruan family.
Mr. Zhou took the initiative to say:
"Miss Ruan, you just returned to the Ruan family, I'm afraid you have a lot of things to do. You don't have to worry about the contract. Take care of the family affairs first, and I'll let Donny take care of the rest."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Lianyi raised her glass, as if she accepted his favor.
"Miss Ruan, "Kunlun Heroes" will be released next week. Are there any changes on your side?"
Director Leng was much more straightforward and asked directly.
"This film is the hard work of Director Leng. I think my performance is also good. There is no problem with the release on time, but I guess I can't go to promote it."
Lianyi said regretfully.
"It doesn't matter. You can promote it for us without showing up."
Director Leng said with a smile.
"That's good. At least it can boost the box office."
Donny on the side just listened with his ears perked up, and didn't mean to interrupt.
Lianyi turned to look at Tangni and invited him:
"Mr. Tang, are you interested in working in Ruan's legal department? The salary is excellent."
Tangni obviously didn't expect Lianyi to poach people in front of Mr. Zhou, and his eyes looked at Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou coughed and said:
"Miss Ruan, you are a bit unkind! Why are you poaching people in front of me!"
"Mr. Zhou, I just think that Tangni has limited room to play in Xinghui, so it's better to fight hard while he is young. I am very optimistic about him."
"Thank you Miss Ruan for your appreciation. My contract with Xinghui has not expired yet. If Miss Ruan is still willing to use me after the expiration, I will definitely consider it carefully."
Of course, Tangni can't be too eager, otherwise his old boss will be embarrassed, and Lianyi may not use him, so this answer is the best. (End of this chapter)
