Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 2237

“I’m fine. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay,” Lu Mingjue replied.

Qiao Weiyang’s clothes were already stained with blood. It was too late to change now.

She had no choice but to go to the washroom to wash her hands and wash the blood off her arms.

…

At the event location.

Today’s event was more high-end than the previous few. The presidents of several brands even personally attended the event location.

This was an opportunity for brand publicity and a two-way interaction between brands and potential spokespeople.

It was also a chance for the brands to observe the spokespeople again.

Qiao Jierou held Lin Heng’s arm and entered the venue.

The rest of the crew also dressed up and entered the venue.

Pu Jiacheng was the first to walk toward Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou. He smiled and said, “Welcome, Ah Heng and Jierou.”

“Director Pu, I’m so happy to see you again.” Lin Heng reached out and shook his hand.

“You’re calling me Director Pu? You’re treating me like an outsider. Don’t you usually call me Brother Cheng?” Pu Jiacheng teased with a smile.

“Today’s occasion is more formal. It’s better for me to call you Director Pu.”

Pu Jiacheng also realized this and patted him on the shoulder. “Then I’ll have to call you President Lin.”

After saying that, Pu Jiacheng looked at Qiao Jierou. “Miss Qiao, you’re indeed a stunning beauty. You’re beautiful and generous. You’re even more beautiful today than yesterday. You’re even more charming than your character in the movie.”

“Director Pu, you’re flattering me.” Qiao Jierou smiled gently.

“A generous and decent artiste like you is really a blessing to the entertainment industry. You’re also the most compatible with our Glory brand,” Pu Jiacheng said. “Today, the president of Glory will personally come. When the event is almost over, I’ll bring the two of you to meet him. Even if he’s very picky, I believe he’ll be conquered by Miss Qiao’s charm.”

“Thank you, Director Pu.” Joy appeared on Qiao Jierou’s face.

“I still have to receive the others. You two can go ahead.”

“Go ahead with your work,” Lin Heng said as he watched Pu Jiacheng greet the others.

Qiao Jierou’s face was filled with excitement.

The event had officially begun. Tonight, the stage was in the middle. Everyone sat around the stage, forming a circle that surrounded it.

Several brands’ new products were displayed on the stage.

As the biggest brand tonight, Glory’s latest SUV was already on stage.

At that time, the White Fox cast and crew would be invited to take a photo with the merchandise.

Seeing that almost everyone was here, the emcee was ready to go on stage.

Tao Huan was anxiously making a call.

At the moment, Lu Mingjue had yet to enter the venue.

Qiao Weiyang was still on her way. It was obvious that she would not be able to make it to the event.

As one of the two female leads, people had already asked about Qiao Weiyang several times.

Tao Huan tried her best to explain, but many people were still surprised. Qiao Weiyang was late for such an important event. Did she think that this event was dispensable to her?
Tao Huan’s status was not high enough to explain to more people. She was just a small-time assistant, and many people did not take her existence seriously.

She could only worry.

Qiao Jierou had already taken notice of the situation and said to Lin Heng, “Brother Heng, Lu Mingjue and Sister don’t seem to be here.”

“That’s right.” Lin Heng had noticed it too.

There were already people around discussing it.

Qiao Jierou said, “Could the two of them be…”

At this point, she quickly covered her mouth. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made guesses like that.”

Lin Heng’s face fell slightly. He recalled how Lu Mingjue had been at Qiao Weiyang’s beck and call. It was not something a usually arrogant manager could do.

It was already very unusual for the two of them to sign a contract and work together. Could they really be in that sort of relationship?

“Don’t talk nonsense. Maybe something happened on the way,” Lin Heng said.

Qiao Jierou recalled that Jiang Lin had casually pulled a prank and hid one of Tao Huan’s tickets. She thought to herself that this was probably the reason.

She didn’t expect such a casual prank to really make Qiao Weiyang late.

It seemed that even after signing a top manager, she was still so-so. Her methods to deal with temporary emergencies were not that much better.

Tao Huan was waiting at the door when Jiang Lin came back after washing her hands. When she saw her acting like a cat on a hot tin roof, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Tao Huan, what’s wrong?” Jiang Lin asked in amusement. “Why isn’t your artiste here when it’s such an important occasion?”

Tao Huan rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

Jiang Lin shook her head and smiled. “Sigh, you guys came for nothing. When I passed by just now, I heard the assistant of a brand’s president complaining that you guys are disrespectful. How dare you be late for such an important occasion?”

“It has nothing to do with you!” Tao Huan said angrily. “Mind your own business!”

“Fine, I can’t be bothered with you anymore anyway!” Jiang Lin shrugged. “I’ll just wait to watch the show!”

Yang Qianhui walked over and said to Jiang Lin, “As a manager, do you think you’re in the position to make things difficult for an assistant instead of following your artist?”

As Qiao Jierou’s manager, Jiang Lin was praised everywhere she went. She was a little unhappy after being scolded by Yang Qianhui. “This has nothing to do with you, right? Yang Qianhui, why do you have to curry favor with Tao Huan? Even Qiao Weiyang is wasting her time. Who knows how Tao Huan will be scolded tonight? What benefits can you get from standing up for these two? What a joke.”

“Whether I can get any benefits or not is my own business. It has nothing to do with you.”

“You don’t know how to appreciate kindness.” With that, Jiang Lin turned around and left.

Yang Qianhui comforted Tao Huan. “Huan Huan, don’t worry too much. As long as Weiyang is fine, she can come later.”

“Yes, but I still feel that it’s my responsibility. If I hadn’t left out the admission ticket, I wouldn’t have been separated from Sister Weiyang and Mr. Lu. This wouldn’t have happened.” Tao Huan felt so guilty that she was about to cry.

“Weiyang definitely won’t blame you. Mr. Lu won’t blame you either.” Yang Qianhui comforted her. “Don’t cry. If your makeup is smudged from crying, you’ll have to touch it up yourself later. You won’t be able to care about Weiyang anymore.”

“Okay.” Tao Huan held back her tears. “Sister Qianhui, the event has started. You should hurry up and enter the venue.”

“Okay, then be careful while you’re alone out here.” Yang Qianhui left.

An attendant walked up to Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou and said politely, “President Lin, Miss Qiao, Director Pu invites you into the venue.”

“Okay, thanks.”

Lin Heng brought Qiao Jierou and followed the attendant to where Pu Jiacheng was.
