Chapter 28 You were the one who invited me to dinner earlier.
I'd only taken a couple of bites of food when Lao Cai arrived. You couldn't see him unless you stuck your head into the car; he must have done it on purpose.
There's no need to even think about what happened; this woman must have seen him get on the bus, but she dared to speak loudly to him, showing no mercy to his bad behavior. It's clear who asked for his help first.
Chen Wenbo didn't stop eating. "President Cai, I'm eating."
Cai Yinong was furious at Da Baobei's indifferent reply. How could this guy be so arrogant? Just because he has a lot of money doesn't mean he's so great.
"Chen Wenbo, Yi Fei is the female lead in our group. She's supposed to be promoting her drama with Brother Hu. If outsiders see this, it will have a huge impact on our show's publicity."
This woman actually dared to call her "little tiger"! Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but say, "It's alright, President Cai. He's sitting in the back seat; you can't see him from inside or outside the car."
Cai Yinong stepped into the car, scrutinizing Chen Wenbo with her eyes, and then glanced at Liu Xiaoli.
Why is this old woman ignoring her daughter's reputation and instead speaking up for her precious darling?
"Teacher Liu, I'm doing this for Yifei's own good. If outsiders see this and it gets out, a fairy-like beauty and an extra will be in the newspapers tomorrow."
Liu Yifei muttered quietly to herself, afraid that her mother would worry, and told Chen Wenbo to leave, "President Cai, we're just having a normal meal, it should be fine, right?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled faintly, "It's alright, Yifei. If President Cai doesn't say anything, no one will see it, and it won't get out."
Cai Yinong laughed and said, "How could I tell anyone? Chen Wenbo, haven't you finished eating yet?"
"Mr. Cai, the young man had just started eating when you arrived."
Before Chen Wenbo could speak, Liu Dayao chimed in.
Cai Yinong was speechless after being roasted by Liu Xiaoli. What's wrong with this old woman? Is she a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and liking him more and more?
How can I not try to sabotage this? We've only known each other for two days and we've already eaten together. How am I supposed to eat meat in a few days?
"You came to the film set in my car just now, I didn't expect you to be having dinner with Yifei."
Chen Wenbo never expected that Lao Cai would specifically target him for murder; women's jealousy is truly excessive.
"This is just a private matter. I haven't thanked Mr. Cai for giving me a ride on the way."
The older girl was difficult to deal with. Cai Yinong turned to the younger girl and asked, "Why would Yifei invite Chen Wenbo to dinner? You two have only known each other for a couple of days, right?"
"We met while filming the day before yesterday..."
Liu Yifei didn't expect the criticism to fall on her, and stammered for a long time.
Chen Wenbo understood; Old Cai was trying to sow discord in front of the great demon. He was really overthinking it. He said seriously:
"At noon, Teacher Liu Yifei and Teacher Shu Chang made plans to have dinner together in the evening, but Teacher Shu Chang suddenly had to rush to another filming location and couldn't come."
Cai Yinong glanced at Liu Xiaoli, smiled faintly, and turned back, "Yifei and Shuchang made plans to have dinner together, so why are you here?"
Chen Wenbo remained unusually calm. "I invited Teacher Shu Chang to dinner the night before last, but I didn't expect that Teacher Shu Chang would invite Teacher Liu Yifei as well. So the two teachers invited me to dinner today."
"Why did you ask Shu Chang to have dinner with you?"
Liu Xiaoli ended the conversation by saying, "President Cai, isn't it normal for a young man to have some personal matters? Let's not pry too much. Let's eat, the food is getting cold."
Cai Yinong felt a sense of doubt. This woman was not usually like this. She was extremely caring towards her daughter. Why was she like this today?
I glanced at the dishes on the table. Something's wrong!
Nine out of ten points are incorrect!
"Yifei usually eats light meals, why is the food so lavish tonight?"
Liu Xiaoli's heart tightened. This woman was trying to cause trouble. She said calmly, "You finished work so late yesterday, and you still have to rush to finish work tonight. You can't eat bland food every day."
Chen Wenbo felt he couldn't eat anymore. Old Cai wasn't Liu Yifei; if he stayed any longer, he might discover something. There was one of these four people he had to keep in the dark.
"Teacher Liu, Yifei has finished eating. Thank you for the meal. I'll be leaving now."
Liu Yifei looked at Chen Wenbo with a puzzled expression, "Is that all you ate?"
Chen Wenbo glanced at the dazed little girl, then casually took the lunchbox into his hand. "Lunchboxes shouldn't be wasted. I'll eat this one too."
Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything, but a hint of reluctance showed in her eyes. The food she specially made for the little tiger that afternoon hadn't been eaten properly by the tiger.
But with her daughter beside her, she couldn't stop her. This woman was truly disgusting.
Seeing that her darling got out of the car and left, and Liu Yifei didn't show any unusual reaction, Cai Yinong said, "I won't disturb your meal any longer, I'll be going now."
It seems I was overthinking things. We've only known each other for two days; at most, the girl might have a slight liking for her "darling."
"Chen Wenbo, wait a moment."
"Is there anything else, K-sister?"
Cai Yinong stepped forward and took Da Baobei's hand. They hadn't gone more than a few steps, and the car would definitely be able to see them. "Let's go to my car. I have something to tell you."
Chen Wenbo wasn't very interested; Lao Cai's bed was too small. "Sister K, I want to go back and rest early today. We have filming tomorrow, so I need to conserve my energy."
"What's in your pocket?"
Cai Yinong felt a hard object bump her wrist and realized that her darling had something bulging in his pocket, but she didn't know what it was.
Chen Wenbo was startled. "Sister K, let's go to your car. You said you wanted to talk to me about something?"
Liu Xiaoli glanced out of the car window, calmly eating her food, but she was furious inside. Cai Yinong was shameless, holding Little Tiger's hand in broad daylight.
Liu Yifei asked in surprise, "Mom, why did Chen Wenbo leave with Producer Cai? It's already so late, is there something going on between them?"
Liu Xiaoli was furious. "Hmph, I told you long ago that Chen Wenbo is not a good person. We shouldn't have let him have dinner with us."
"Mom, didn't you just ask Chen Wenbo to eat with us?"
Liu Yifei had only prepared a lunchbox for her handsome brother, but she didn't expect her mother to let Chen Wenbo eat with her.
"Isn't it you who invited them to dinner? They're already here, and I'm kicking them out? What will become of your reputation?"
Liu Xiaoli directly shifted the blame onto her daughter, as if she had wasted all those years of her life.
"Mom, look, they didn't even close the car door. They must be talking about something. I knew Chen Wenbo wasn't that kind of person."
Liu Yifei was speechless after being lectured. She looked out of the car and realized that it wasn't as her mother had said, and immediately found a way to turn the tables.
Liu Xiaoli had no way to deal with her daughter. She knew exactly who Chen Wenbo was in the past three days.
"You've already filmed several movies, how can a producer be so concerned about a mere extra? How can there not be a problem? Don't you think about it carefully?"
"No, that's not true. Chen Wenbo told me last time that Producer Cai wants him to sign with the company."
Liu Yifei took a bite of food, glanced out the window, and the two of them were talking openly, so there was no indication that anything was going on.
After getting into the car, Cai Yinong glanced at the slightly flustered Da Baobei in the back. What was this guy hiding in his pocket?
"What's in your pocket? It's making your clothes look all stretched out."
