Xu Ruier listened to the words on the other end, but she didn't know what to say. She agreed and hung up the phone.

She had long known that Xu Ping's pregnancy was a boy after a private examination. The Xu family was overjoyed and prepared to hold a grand banquet under the pretext of Mrs. Xu's birthday.

No one notified her. When the banquet was about to start, she was invited back for the sake of face. If it weren't for her increased fame this time, there would be no call, right?

When Xu Ping called, Xu Wan was also there. She looked at the other party gently stroking her belly, with a crazy and mysterious smile in her eyes.

It's really interesting. After you praise someone to a high place, if you fall down, you will be half dead if you don't die.

Just thinking about it makes people feel excited and comfortable.

Chapter 45 The National Film Queen Promoted by the Film Emperor (24)

Xu Ruier has been doing very well recently. The movie "Drug Enforcement" has continuously broken box office records. Now, the box office has reached 4.1 billion, becoming the highest-grossing movie this year, and the box office is still rising steadily.

This is a conscientious film, a fine product among domestically produced films, and naturally it has received a lot of protection. The positive energy and patriotism it spreads are all worth praising and spreading, and the social problems exposed are also worth pondering and exploring.

Ji Yang's reputation and fame have always been at a high point. This drama is just icing on the cake for him, but Xu Ruier is different. She started at zero and has a lot of room for improvement, becoming the biggest winner.

Now, Xu Ruier has a higher value. As soon as she returned home, she felt the enthusiasm of the Xu family. The previous things were like turning over a page, and they didn't mention it at all, and they cared about her.

Mrs. Xu's birthday banquet was grand, and everyone the Xu family could invite was invited, which shows that they valued Xu Ping's baby.

Xu Ping also felt proud, holding Xu Ruier's hand and introducing her to others as her daughter, which was something she had never done before.

If in the past, she had only listened to Ji Yang's talk on paper, this time Xu Ruier was really in it. The so-called indulgence and pampering of the Xu family had nothing to do with anything else. As long as she was more valuable than Xu Wan, she had the capital and bargaining chips for negotiation.

"Is Madam Xu pregnant? Her belly is so big."

"Looking at her belly, it's probably a boy."

"Is this child naughty? Boys are naughty, it looks like she's going to give birth to a naughty one."

...

The ladies surrounded Xu Ping and said so with a smile.

Xu Ping's eyes were all smiling, her mouth was upturned, she touched her belly, and looked very loving.

Xu Rui'er was standing next to Xu Ping, but she greatly satisfied her vanity.

A happy life is just like this.

The banquet started, and people came one after another. Xu Rui'er kept smiling, her mouth was a little stiff, holding a glass of fruit wine in her hand, taking a sip from time to time, and finally found an excuse to go to the toilet and went to the backyard to get some fresh air.

The moon in the sky was big and round, and the moonlight was very bright.

Xu Ruier suddenly missed Ji Yang very much. She picked up her phone and called him. The other party answered in seconds. "What's wrong?"

"I just want to hear your voice." Xu Ruier walked on the path with her head down, her voice muffled. "It will probably take a while before I can leave. Otherwise, people will think that I am not as good as Xu Wan and I am not sensible. I still have to save face."

The Xu family did not take the initiative to tear each other's faces, so she just pretended. Anyway, everyone pretended, and she didn't want to put herself at the bottom.

"Take care of yourself." Ji Yang's soft voice came.

"I'm so hungry." Xu Ruier pursed her lips and dragged out the tail sound. "Brother, can you take me to dinner later?"

She had no appetite at Xu's house. Since she came back, she hadn't eaten a bite of rice or cakes. Of course, no one cared whether she had eaten or not.

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Ji Yang asked.

"It's all right. Brother, can you treat me?" Xu Ruier acted coquettishly with him, her voice sweet. When she heard the other end laugh, she laughed too.

"Okay, wait for me."

The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

Xu Ruier returned to the hall, and Xu Wan was entertaining guests. She was wearing a silver lace dress with a backless design, ten centimeters of stilettos, and delicate makeup on her face. She was at ease among men.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. Seeing who was coming, Xu Dong hurriedly walked up to him with a compliment, "Why is Mr. Zhuo here?"

Xu Wan also walked up with a smile. Li Zhuo arrogantly took off his sunglasses, looked around, and his eyes fell on Xu Ruier. A smile of determination appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he casually perfunctorily said a few words to Xu Dong.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality, please don't blame Mr. Zhuo." Xu Dong felt that his son must be a lucky star. The Xu family's good luck was really continuous, and even the Li family members came to honor him.

Li Zhuo waved his hand impatiently, handed the gift to him, chatted with Xu Wan for a few words, and finally went straight to the goal.

"Miss Xu."

Xu Ruier was blocked by Li Zhuo, who handed her a glass of wine, showing a self-proclaimed evil CEO smile, "Would you please have a drink?"

"Thank you, but no thanks." Xu Ruier had no expression on her face, and she hated him very much in her heart. If it weren't for him, her brother would still be in "Operation Turtle". Wasn't it all because the other party was deliberately picking on her brother?

For Ji Yang, she was very protective and would not tolerate others bullying him. If Li Zhuo was hostile to Ji Yang, then she would be like a hedgehog with its thorns erected, full of aggression towards him.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhuo smiled instead of getting angry. He was patient enough for beautiful women and smiled gently, "Has your work been going badly recently? Or have you encountered any problems? You can tell me, your brother is here to protect you."

Xu Ruier's eyes changed slightly when she heard it, but it was fleeting. She forced out a smile and asked, "Mr. Zhuo, how are you and your sister doing recently? Are you okay?"

Since they are here, Li Zhuo must know about her relationship with Xu Wan. I heard that the two of them have been hiding from the limelight, and Li Zhuo was severely scolded by the Li family, but it seems that a dog can't change its eating habits!

When Xu Wan was mentioned, Li Zhuo's face changed first, and then smiled, "Rui'er, are you jealous? Don't worry, there is nothing wrong between your sister and me. It's all a misunderstanding."
