The next day, Lu Xue contacted Pan Yurou and tactfully conveyed Mu Ziyue's intention.
Upon hearing this, Pan Yurou almost immediately agreed.
"No problem at all! It's just a ribbon - cutting ceremony. I can definitely do this little favor! When is their studio opening? Just tell me the time and location, and I'll be there as promised."
Lu Xue didn't expect Pan Yurou to be so straightforward with her.
"After all, you're a well - known movie queen. Shouldn't you inform your agent about this?"
Pan Yurou immediately replied, "Why do I need to go through my agent? This is my private schedule. I have the right to decide and arrange my own life, okay?"
Lu Xue was a bit touched. It was obvious that Pan Yurou wanted to help her, which was why she so readily accepted the invitation.
Pan Yurou added, "By the way, don't forget about the thing I asked you to do! I know you've been taking on a lot of commercial activities recently, but you must prioritize my matter. Can you do that?"
Pan Yurou had recently moved into a new home. In the living room, there was a blank wall reserved specifically for a painting. Pan Yurou had already decided that this painting would be an oil - painted portrait of her own photo.
But she didn't feel at ease entrusting this to anyone else, so she turned to Lu Xue.
Lu Xue also readily agreed to Pan Yurou and added this matter to her work schedule.
...
The next day, Ding Muyun found Mu Ziyue. As soon as they met, she interrogated her aggressively.
"What on earth happened to you yesterday? Didn't I tell you to follow Lu Xue? Why were you inside drinking with them?"
Mu Ziyue didn't really want to deal with Ding Muyun at this moment. She just barely perfunctorily replied, "You don't understand. Things are not what you think! Lu Xue was just having a normal meal and drinks with her female friend. And do you know who that female friend is?"
Ding Muyun didn't care at all who that girl was. She just hurriedly said, "Even so, you should have immediately come out and reported this to me. How could you just stay inside and chat and laugh with them? Don't forget that Lu Xue is our enemy!"
Mu Ziyue waved her hand impatiently.
"I think you have too deep a prejudice against Lu Xue. I talked to Lu Xue yesterday and found that she's a really interesting person, completely different from my group of girlfriends. Later, I suggest we all go out and have fun together. When you get to know what kind of person Lu Xue is, you'll gradually change your opinion of her."
Anger flashed in Ding Muyun's eyes. She really didn't expect Mu Ziyue to switch sides so quickly and start hanging out with Lu Xue in no time.
They had just had a meal together yesterday, and yet she was already speaking up for Lu Xue.
Ding Muyun angrily said, "This was just an accident. I guess Lu Xue must have known that I've been following her recently, so she deliberately put on a show and met with a girl. In fact, she should still be having a lot of ambiguous relationships with other men behind our backs."
Mu Ziyue finally got a bit impatient.
"Why do you always assume the worst about others? She's completely different from what you think!"
After saying this, Mu Ziyue turned around and left without caring about the expression on Ding Muyun's face behind her.
...
A week later, Mu Ziyue's friend's fashion studio opened.
The opening day was very lively. Mu Ziyue even invited all her friends in the fashion industry to come and show their support.
For a while, this studio was the talk of the town. It even attracted the media and became the front - page news chased by many small magazines and newspapers.
Mu Ziyue was very happy that day. She specially set up a T - stage outside and invited many second - and third - tier small - time artists to show their support.
On the stage, the host was giving the opening speech, while below the stage, the flashlights of the media were going off one after another. Mu Ziyue and her girlfriends were warmly entertaining several well - known big names in the industry.
Just then, Lu Xue showed up.
As soon as Mu Ziyue saw Lu Xue, she rushed over in a hurry.
"This is Lu Xue, my good sister. It was she who invited Pan Yurou this time."
Saying this, Mu Ziyue introduced Lu Xue to her girlfriends. Everyone was very excited and sized Lu Xue up and down, as if they had seen something brand - new.
Lu Xue's dressing style was completely different from these people in the circle, but she was extremely beautiful, so she was immediately welcomed by the girls.
Everyone surrounded Lu Xue in the middle and bombarded her with questions about how she knew Pan Yurou and what Pan Yurou was like in private.
While they were chatting away like this, a black RV parked not far away, and a girl quietly got out of it.
Mu Ziyue had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that it was Pan Yurou.
She immediately rushed over to greet Pan Yurou.
When Pan Yurou stepped onto the T - stage to cut the ribbon for the studio, the applause thundered. Many people at the scene were boiling with excitement. The flashlights of the media clicked away, chasing after Pan Yurou and recording this moment that attracted everyone's attention.
