Dressed as a wealthy stepmother, the queen became popular in baby circle

Chapter 41
Jiang Lai shook his head and smiled jokingly: "No, I can't get enough of a handsome man like you."

Si Jin's brows twitched, and he withdrew his gaze, ignoring Jiang Lai, and was about to go upstairs, but was stopped.

"It's Xiao Zhao's birthday soon, I plan to hold a birthday party for Xiao Zhao, what do you think?"

Si Jin's body froze, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something, and he stared at Jiang Lai thoughtfully.

"You can figure it out." After finishing speaking, he turned and went upstairs.

Jiang Lai shook his head helplessly, Xiao Zhao didn’t care about his birthday because he was his own, and Xiao Zhao’s grandparents were also weird, they only cared about themselves selfishly, they didn’t even know how to care about Xiao Zhao’s birthday.

If it weren't for the original owner's good memory, Xiao Zhao's birthday this year might be celebrated alone again.

Jiang Lai began to arrange a birthday party.

She didn't plan to invite Zhou Shuyu this time. If the hero and heroine in the original book met, wouldn't that be one step closer to her death.

She's not that stupid.

Three days later, Xiao Zhao's birthday party was held at a seven-star hotel in the city center.

Jiang Lai was relentless in spending money, and when he led Xiao Zhao to the banquet, Xiao Zhao was surprised by the luxurious layout of the hall.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Lai, his eyes were reddish.

This woman wouldn't spend all her money to hold a birthday party for him.

His nose suddenly felt a little sour.

Xiao Zhao's grandparents also came to the hall, and An Rou was also there. They saw Jiang Lai with different eyes.

Although Si Mu smiled, the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"You really have a heart for Xiao Zhao's birthday party." Xu Shu stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Zhao, but Xiao Zhao avoided it, her expression was a little unsightly.

This is her own grandson, who turned to an outsider, and this person is Jiang Lai!
"Xiao Zhao, come to grandma, grandma will take you to greet other elders."

Only then did Xiao Zhao reluctantly walk to Si Mu's side, Si Mu pulled Xiao Zhao away, Xiao Zhao looked back at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai smiled softly at Xiao Zhao, expressing that there is no need to worry and let him have fun.

The invited guests were almost relatives of the Si family, or business partners of the Si family.

She didn't do it herself, but left it to Si Jin. After all, it was Xiao Zhao's birthday, and Si Jin couldn't just do nothing.

Jiang Lai was happy to be at leisure, and found a corner to sit, drinking red wine and eating snacks, but he was also at ease.

Not long after, there was an extra figure in front of him blocking the light in front of him.

"Is it convenient for me to sit here?" An Rou smiled at Jiang Lai friendly.

Jiang Lai leaned back slightly on the sofa with a half-smile, and raised his lips: "It's up to you."

An Rou took the initiative to approach her, but she didn't know what was on An Rou's mind.

"Jiang Lai, you know you don't like me, Si Jin and I are just friends, don't worry..."

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on An Rou's face, An Rou was stared at by her and swallowed the words inexplicably.

It's strange to say that facing Jiang Lai these few times, she always felt that Jiang Lai couldn't see through, and she even felt a little afraid of Jiang Lai's gaze.

An Rou tightly gripped the skirt with her fingers, and gritted her teeth to calm herself down.

How could she be afraid of Jiang Lai, there must be something wrong, Jiang Lai is just a mindless vase.

After comforting herself in this way, An Rou felt a lot better.

"You came to me to talk about this? If you have nothing else, please leave."

Jiang Lai chased them away without mercy, An Rou gritted her teeth and got up to walk away.

Someone watched this scene from the side, and whispers sounded.

"Isn't that An Rou? When did she come back? Now there is a good show to watch. Back then, An Rou almost married Si Jin."

"Jiang Lai really doesn't deserve his boss Jin, and Si Jin doesn't know what to look for. Could it be that he married Jiang Lai on purpose to anger An Rou?"

"It's very possible that the Si family's favorite is An Rou. Although her family background is a bit poor, she is good and capable. She and Si Jin can be regarded as good-looking."

Jiang Lai rubbed his temples, can't these people gossip farther away?Didn't you see her here?

Jiang Lai coldly glanced at those who spoke, and they immediately shut up and walked away with embarrassing expressions.

Suddenly, Jiang Lai saw a familiar face.

The soft white light of the crystal lamp fell on a man in a white suit. The man was tall and straight, and his handsome face seemed to be carefully carved. Just standing there could attract people's attention at a glance.

Many women stared at the man, their eyes gleaming.

"Actor Zhou! It's really him, I actually saw a real person!"

"He should have been invited by the Si family, right? Is the relationship between Zhou Yingdi and the Si family so good, or is there a cooperation between Zhou Yingdi and the Si family?"

"So handsome, the real person is much more handsome than the movie!"

Many people surrounded Zhou Shuyu, clamoring for autographs or group photos.

Jiang Lai stared blankly at the surrounded Zhou Shuyu, unable to turn his head around.

She didn't send an invitation letter to Zhou Shuyu, so how did he come here?
No way, could it be that she deliberately didn't follow the plot in the book, and the plot would automatically develop according to the plot?
If that's the case, wouldn't she still die?

Jiang Lai's face was livid, his mind was in a mess, and he cursed the original book hundreds of times in his heart.

What to wear is not good, you have to wear books, now it's all right, you can only count the time and wait for death.

Jiang Lai was engrossed in thinking about something, when Xiao Zhao's soft voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her train of thought.

"Are you OK."

Xiao Zhao saw that Jiang Lai's complexion was not very good, and his eyes were worried.

Jiang Lai smiled, and asked softly, "Why are you here, where are your grandma and grandpa?"

Xiao Zhao pouted, sat down beside Jiang Lai, picked up a piece of fruit and ate it.

"It's not fun for them, so I ran over with the excuse of going to the toilet."

Jiang Lai was speechless, Xiao Zhao was much more courageous than before, and dared to deceive grandparents face to face.

"Then stay here with me for a while."

Although she really wanted to know why Zhou Shuyu appeared here, she thought that even if she intervened in the subsequent development, it would not change, so she simply didn't do anything well.

But she still didn't want to die, so she had to study how to save her life.

Jiang Lai picked up the red wine and took a sip, Jiang Lai's beautiful facial features were reflected on the bottom of the dark red cup, staring at Zhou Shuyu's direction.

Zhou Shuyu was worthy of being the film king, and his every move was unmistakable, as if he had acted out countless times.

Suddenly, Zhou Shuyu looked in Jiang Lai's direction, and Jiang Lai's gaze caught off guard.

Jiang Lai's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to look away, the other party showed her a gentle smile.

Jiang Lai rolled his eyes in his heart, why did Zhou Shuyu suddenly smile at her?
It stands to reason that Jiang Lai and Zhou Shuyu are not familiar at all, and the only time they met was because she and Zhou Shuyu co-starred in a movie.

But at that time, she was just a small supporting role in the [-]th line, Zhou Yingdi was the male number one, and there was only one line of dialogue between them.
