Chapter 8 Jealousy, Women's Pain

Ho Zining's heart sank, and a bad feeling came to her.

To her dismay, Jian An'an looked at her carefully before she opened her mouth and said loudly, "Miss, are you an entertainment reporter? I've seen you before!"

A cold glint flashed through Ho Zining's eyes.

Yes, she used to work as an entertainment reporter for a while in a small entertainment company. It was just a part-time job. She only got paid when she really had those pictures. Several hundred yuan for one picture.

She was sure that she had never met Jian An'an at that time.

So Jian An'an said that obviously to frame her. Moreover, at a feast like this, there were many people from the entertainment industry and the business circle. If there was an entertainment reporter coming in secretly, that person would definitely become the target of many people!

Just because Qiao Nanzhi helped her up, Jian An'an chose to frame her like this.

So, when Jian An'an finished speaking, everyone around them looked at her with sharp eyes.

Ho Zining glanced around and found that even Qiao Nanzhi's eyes were filled with coldness, but Huo Yanshen on the sofa was an exception.

He sat there with his legs crossed, holding a crystal glass in his hand. As he swirled the glass, the red wine in it moved and red was imprinted in his eyes. His originally frozen face looked somewhat evilly charming.

He seemed to be watching a good show.

Ho Zining quickly retracted her gaze, looked at Jian An'an, and said calmly, "Miss Jian, you have the wrong person. I have such a common face. It's not impossible that you mistake me as someone else!"

"Of course not!" Jian An'an said, pointing at Ho Zining's shirt and saying, "I remember that last time at Xingmei Charity Night, you were wearing this shirt!"

Ho Zining's heart sank. She did go to Xingmei Charity Night and she went there really for pictures that could be sold for money.

But Jian An'an didn't go that time. She must have known Jian An'an was there since Jian was such a show-off.

Jian An'an narrowed her eyes. "Miss, I remember it clearly! That day, a photo was leaked out and because of that the movie star, Lu Ou, had to temporarily leave the film and television circle! At that time, I saw you near him! Tell me. If you weren't an entertainment reporter, how could you have appeared on the charity night that day and come here today?"

Because the rest area was originally the focus, and Jian An'an was deliberately speaking loudly, many people were drawn over. Some of them were Lu Ou's friends and at this moment were looking at Ho Zining with coldness and cruelty in their eyes.

Did Jian An'an really go that day? Ho Zining was alarmed. If she kept denying it, this group of people would not let her go.

By then, not only would she lose her job, but her life would be at risk...

She was frightened in her heart, but she still looked calm. "Miss Jian, you have a good memory. I did go that day."

When Ho Zining finished speaking, someone was about to come at her, and a faint smile appeared on Jian An'an's lips.

In the sofa area, Huo Yanshen changed his sitting position and did not look away from Ho Zining for a moment.

Why did he feel that this plain-looking woman gave him a unique sense of familiarity?

However, when he looked upon the old days, he could not find an equally ordinary face that resembled hers.

"I did go there, but I didn't go as an entertainment reporter. I went with pianist Mu Qingge!" Ho Zining said calmly.

"Mu Qingge?!" Jian An'an looked at Ho Zining in front of her suspiciously, "How is it possible that you know him?!"

Ho Zining did know Mu Qingge. One day, it was raining, and Mu Qingge's car broke down on the road. At that time, she happened to be going through. She saw him get out of the car to see the situation and then went back. When he planned to start the engine again, she stopped him out of kindness.

She told him that the engine would be damaged if he started the engine again after the car was flooded. He was surprised to hear that. After googling it, he found that what she said was true, so he asked Ho Zining to leave her contact information.

At that time, Ho Zining intended to refuse since it was such a small help. However, when she heard that the man was actually the famous pianist Mu Qingge, she quickly left her contact information. The reason was that the little guy at home liked the piano, but she never had the chance to let him learn.

After that, she took the little guy to Mu Qingge's studio many times. She had also learned to play the piano before, so if Mu Qingge didn't have time, she would teach the little guy herself.

But on that charity night, she got in on her own. She didn't look for Mu Qingge, and she never mentioned it after that.

However, she had never expected that something would happen today. She had no choice but to use him as her excuse.

"I do know Mr. Mu. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." Ho Zining said.

"No need!" Jian An'an narrowed her eyes. "I heard that Mr. Mu rarely brings his friends to important occasions. And anyone who comes along with him can play the piano. Miss, if you want to prove yourself, you might as well go over and play a song for us all. If you really do, we can trust you once."

Jian An'an thought that this boring woman didn't know how to play the piano.

Moreover, when she had just handed the woman the bag, Jian An'an found that Ho Zining had thin calluses on her hands. So it was obvious that the woman often did manual work! How could she be a pianist?

For some reason, Jian An'an thought this woman was disgusting and wished she could disappear from this world! Luckily, the occasion helped her and she didn't have to get rid of this woman herself.

Playing the piano? Ho Zining's eyes swept over the crowd.

Everyone had the same expression.

This world had always been so cold and no one would like to reach out to pull her, even if, at this moment, she had stepped on the edge of the cliff.

She felt sad and disappointed, but another emotion slowly rose in her blood.

Originally, she knew she shouldn't agree. She was now Lee Xiaofei, the ordinary woman who would be paid no attention even if she was left in the crowd...

However, something was running riot in her heart, and it was already out of control when she was seized with complicated emotions after seeing that familiar man.

Step by step, she walked towards the piano next to the rest area.
