Chapter 225 What is it like to be caught pretending to be fake?
Bulgari basement level.
The dark Bentley stopped at the elevator entrance, the engine making a low roar.
“Da-da-da-” The high heels stepped on the ground, creating a rhythmic echo in the basement.
Lin Muxue, who sent Zhao Yaqian to the elevator, twisted her waist and walked back.
She did not get in the car immediately, but first leaned against the car and took a selfie. Then she sat contentedly in the back right seat and enjoyed her own private car.
Open your phone and enter the WeChat group chat.
There are only 4 people in this group. Apart from her, the other 3 are college classmates who are developing in Shanghai.
One of her roommates is Cao Jingsi, but she has not been in contact with her for a long time, and all her WeChat friends have deleted each other.
In fact, the four of them do not have a good relationship with each other, and it is thanks to Xiaoxue that they can get together.
We all want to see if she is really developed.
Looking at the chat records inside, she smiled in a low voice.
He said in a kind voice: "Master, send me to the Shamei Building on Didu East Road. I drank a little too much at night. Could you please go around the Bund so I can get some air and fresh air?"
"Okay Ms. Lin!" the driver responded immediately.
The Bentley Flying Spur started smoothly.
The high-end fragrance spread in the car. Lin Muxue crossed her legs and leaned on the leather seat. The smile on her lips could not be suppressed.
Li Xinyi and the others had just finished dinner on the Bund and were walking along the Bund towards the bistro in the Samei Building.
This is a good time for her to appear as the protagonist.
The vehicle drove out of the basement.
Listen to the soft pure music in your ears.
Open the tablet in front of you, connect your phone to it, open Cloud Music, and search for the "Appearance" playlist.
As the protagonist tonight, her appearance naturally needs BGM, so as to set off the style of "Emperor Mu Xue".
Click the play button.
“Deng-deng-deng-deng-deng-” The explosive entrance music sounded.
The professionally trained driver in the front row tightened his fingers and felt his blood boiling.
Good guy, why did the BGM of the God of Gamblers suddenly appear? It made him want to step on the gas pedal.
Lin Muxue awkwardly clicked the pause button and began to lower her head and continue rummaging.
The car crossed the Suzhou River and continued forward.
The city lights flickered into the carriage.
Lin Muxue finally chose an elegant English song.
Soft melodies linger in the car through Naim high-end speakers.
Lin Muxue looked at the night outside the window with a slightly drunken look on her face.
I wonder what Tang and Song’s surprise is tonight?
Bag? cosmetic? Fashion? jewelry?
Although it was given to Qianqian, she also wanted to be addicted to it.
With the music playing, the car slowly drove into Didu East Road.
Lin Muxue sat up straight, put her right hand on the armrest of the window, looked out the window, and saw several familiar figures on the roadside from a distance.
College classmates Li Xinyi, Cao Jingsi, and Wang Mei.
“Master, drive slower, I met a few friends, let me say hello.”
Then, the speed of the car slowed down.
Lin Muxue picked up her cell phone and dialed Li Xinyi’s number.
…
On the sidewalk.
Cao Jingsi said angrily: "Tsk, we haven't seen each other for so long, Lin Muxue is still so good at pretending. What about participating in Hermès private? event, I think it’s too expensive to eat at the Roosevelt Mansion and I can’t bear to come.”
“Haha, there are actually quite a lot of people like this. They are just vain and want to create a good persona.”
“I think that’s the case. Moments have been blocking us because they are afraid that we will expose her bad past.” Cao Jingsi curled her lips disdainfully.
As a roommate for three years, she has a very deep understanding of Lin Muxue.
My family background is very poor. I worked as a part-time model in college and went to an interview event. I was laughed at in public by an interviewer for wearing tacky clothes and having no taste.
This matter spread widely in the small circle, but she was indeed very beautiful, and many classmates often made fun of her about it.
Later I bought a pair of A-grade imitations, and was exposed and slapped in the face by a rich girl while attending an event.
After being depressed for a while, I became particularly pretentious.
After graduation, I heard that I joined some financial company and was very good at it.
But they don’t believe this. They all know the level of Lin Muxue University. Let alone finance, they can’t even do accounting.
While the three people were complaining, the phone rang.
Li Xinyi looked at the call message and made a silent gesture, "It's Lin Muxue."
After answering the call, she said in a kind voice: "Hey, Muxue, where are you? We'll be at Cofo soon. Bistro."
"Oh?" She stopped and turned to look at the road, "Did you see us in the car?"
The other two also stopped when they saw this.
The night falls, neon lights bloom, on the quiet and long street.
A black Bentley drove slowly over, its high-end paint surface shining with a deep luster under the light, blending in with the surrounding night.
The double-winged logo shines brightly on the front of the car, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.
The wheels turned gently across the wet road.
Immediately afterwards, the Bentley stopped beside them.
As the rear window slowly lowered.
The first thing I heard was the sound of high-quality music, and then I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face appear in front of me.
Exquisite earrings, gorgeous gemstone necklaces, high-end fashions, luxurious interiors, the Hermès Birkin bag on her legs...
The dim street lights shone on her through the Bentley window. She looked elegant, refined, and aloof, making her look particularly stylish.
Li Xinyi and the three of them were stunned on the spot.
Cao Jingsi bit her lower lip and said in disbelief: "Lin Muxue!?"
She had not seen Lin Muxue for two years. Apart from her facial features and figure, it was difficult to connect the woman in front of her with the fussy and shrinking roommate in her memory.
Lin Muxue smiled faintly, nodded gently and said: "Long time no see."
Then, she said something to the driver, opened the door and got out of the car.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of some old classmates, she couldn't help it.
This place is only about 100 meters away from Cofo Bistro. You can just walk there and catch up with old classmates.
“Click——” The car door was gently pushed open, Lin Muxue’s beautiful legs wrapped in stockings stepped on the ground, and she stood up gracefully.
The breeze blew her skirt and hair. She raised her beautiful face slightly and glanced at them calmly, "We haven't seen each other for more than two years. You two don't seem to have changed much from before. Jingsi, you are quite nostalgic. The bag you use is still Prada."
As she spoke, she flipped up her wavy hair and put the Hermès Birkin on her forearm.
【Come on! All three of you come together! I'm in a hurry! 】
【Who wants to meet you at the top? I just want you to look up to me at the bottom of the mountain! 】
On the road, a harsh whistle sounded.
Cao Jingsi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every beat was filled with tension and uneasiness.
It felt like I had been attacked by 10,000 points and fell into a state of residual health.
She has a good family background and is now working as a stewardess. Her daily life is colorful and she can occasionally afford luxury goods.
But she is still in the category of normal people. She has never been exposed to top luxury goods such as Hermès and Bentley.
At this moment, looking at Lin Muxue, who was getting out of the luxury car and dressed in luxury, she felt more jealous and inferior.
“Mu Xue, you have changed so much.” Wang Mei swallowed with envy on her face.
“Haha, it’s okay. I’m living pretty well after graduation.” Lin Muxue raised her wrist and looked at it, “Let’s go to the tavern to drink and chat.”
After saying that, she glanced at the three people again and walked towards the entrance of the Samei Building.
Li Xinyi and the three looked at each other, their eyes flickering and their lips pursed tightly.
Judging from today’s posture, Lin Muxue seems to be really prosperous.
…
Walk into Cofo Bistro on the 2nd floor of the Samed Building.
The sound of folk songs lingers in my ears, and the dim light shines through the exquisite glass lampshade.
The decoration is exquisite and the whole bistro is full of relaxation.
There are a lot of people in the store, mostly office workers who come here to relax and chat.
Li Xinyi took a deep breath and led them to a seat by the window.
There is a small balcony (terrace) next to it, where you can intuitively appreciate the architectural style of the fusion of Chinese and Western styles outside the Shamei Building.
After admiring the surrounding environment for a while, I ordered a few bottles of wine and a few dishes.
Li Xinyi pointed to the boy who was singing in the bar, and said with some pride: "That's my friend, Ah Xing, an independent musician, and one of the partners of this store, so he was able to book such a good seat on Saturday night."
The status of a business class flight attendant determines that she can come into contact with higher-level people.
This Ah Xing is one of them. He is a young singer who has released an album. He took the initiative to ask her for WeChat.
Cao Jingsi and Wang Mei praised a few words.
Lin Muxue leaned on the chair and smiled: "A Xing? I haven't heard of it, but I went to attend the opening ceremony of the Shanghai International Film Festival yesterday, and I met some singers, sitting next to me."
Then, she opened a selfie, which showed her sitting at the Golden Goblet Ceremony, with several familiar faces around her.
Wang Mei covered her mouth and exclaimed two names. They are both third-tier stars and have high reputations.
Li Xinyi and Cao Jingsi’s eyes widened, they didn’t look like P’s.
They naturally know about the Golden Goblet Ceremony. After all, the hot search on the entire Internet yesterday was "Su Yu".
What I didn’t expect was that this college classmate was actually at the scene!
I showed off my experience at the Hermès show again, and the food and wine I ordered were brought to me by the waiter.
The quick-thinking Wang Mei stood up, held the wine bottle, and said in a flattering tone: "Muxue, try this tea plum wine, it's very delicious."
She had no conflicts with Lin Muxue during college. When she saw that this old classmate was no longer what she used to be, the first thing that came to her mind was to make friends.
"Thank you." Lin Muxue nodded lightly, picked up the glass, shook it, and took a sip.
The wine mixed with the aroma of tea and plum ripples in the mouth and tongue. It is sweet and refreshing, and it is indeed delicious.
Seeing the gradually changing attitudes of her old classmates, she took out her mobile phone and took a few photos and shared them in her circle of friends.
Copywriting: "Get together with college classmates in a pub and reminisce about the past."
In the past, in order to prevent others from revealing their identity as fake socialites, her circle of friends would block these old classmates.
This time there are more checked groups, and basically most of your friends can see them.
Putting down her phone, Lin Muxue took a sip of plum wine while asking them about the current situation of other classmates.
In the profession of flight attendant, most of them are girls, and only one-tenth are boys.
Because of some embarrassing and embarrassing experiences in the past, Lin Muxue rarely chatted with these classmates, so she didn’t know much about their situation.
…
Dongjiang Food Stalls.
“Ding~” The beer bottles clinked.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, people raised their heads and drank a bottle of wine with a "gudu gudu" sound.
After experiencing the baptism of [alcohol resistance agent], drinking these beers in the Tang and Song Dynasties basically did not make you drunk, just like drinking drinks.
However, Li Zhixi opposite was obviously a little drunk, his face was red, and he said with a smile: "You may not know that I liked Qiu Yu when I was in school. After all, our hometowns are both from Jiangsu Province. The reason why I was able to switch to her company later was because I kept in touch with her."
Tang Song glanced at him in surprise, "Well... this is the first time I know that you are really boring."
"But they are very ambitious and look down on us, so they gradually gave up."
…
After chatting for a while about the young Mu Ai, Li Zhixi looked at the time, stood up and said, "We've almost eaten. Let's go, I'll take you for a walk on the Bund. It's so beautiful over there right now!"
"Let's go! I haven't been there yet." Tang Song picked up his backpack and followed him along the street.
This place is only a few hundred meters away from the Bund, so it’s a quick walk there.
Passing through two intersections, the humid river breeze blew in our faces.
The sparkling Huangpu River reflects the brilliant lights on both sides of the river, as if countless strips of light are gently swaying, which is so beautiful that it makes people enchanted.
The tall buildings reflected the gloomy sky, looking spectacular.
The two walked along the river. Li Zhixi pointed to the buildings and introduced them to him, "Over there is the Magic City Center Building, the tallest building in China, 632 meters high. That is the World Financial Center..."
Following his words, Tang Song's sight penetrated the Huangpu River, jumping back and forth between tall buildings, feeling the prosperity and charm of the metropolis.
I feel open-minded and full of emotions.
Fireworks in the world and neon lights in the magic city are the most soothing to mortal hearts.
He is just a mortal, he likes to live in luxury, he likes to feast, he likes to enjoy life, and he also likes to stand higher.
“Click——” Li Zhixi pulled him and took a group photo by the river.
Then he opened another photo and handed it to Tang Song, "This is Zhang Xi, the girl from the sales department of our company."
Tang Song looked down at the screen of his phone.
Above is a girl with a low ponytail, she looks like she is in her early 20s, tall and thin, with a clean and elegant appearance.
At first glance, she looks like a very lively and cheerful girl.
"How about Brother Song? Isn't she very beautiful?" Li Zhixi smiled and said: "I think she is no worse than Qiu Yu."
In college, the most outstanding girl in their major was Qiu Yu.
So Li Zhixi subconsciously compared her.
Tang Song nodded, "Well, she looks pretty good. Take it now. Don't forget to send me an invitation when we get married."
To be fair, this girl is indeed pretty good, and she is quite popular in universities.
Li Zhixi put away her mobile phone and looked at the luxury cars passing by on the road behind her, and then at the high-rise buildings opposite.
With a look of emotion on his face, he said: "This is a place that many people have worked hard for, and how many can really settle here? I have asked Zhang Xi tactfully before, whether she wants to live in Shanghai or Suzhou in the future. In other words, if I want to have a future with others, I have to be prepared to buy a house in Suzhou. It’s hard to prepare!”
“Come on, Zhixi, if you work so hard, maybe you can stay in the Magic City in the future?” Tang Song patted him on the shoulder. He would definitely have a lot of industries in the Magic City in the future, and he would just give this old classmate a hand.
It may be easy for him, but for Li Zhixi, it can directly change his destiny.
"Haha, borrow the good words from Brother Song!" Li Zhixi then added: "I also wish you all the best in your entrepreneurial journey! Find a beautiful girlfriend then, and your life will be happy!"
"Um..." Tang Song wanted to tell him that he already had several girlfriends, but in order not to irritate this old classmate, he endured it.
Lest you end up like Lu Kai, your eyes will turn green when you look at them.
Then, Li Zhixi took him out of the Bund and walked along the street under the city lights.
“Over there is Imperial Capital East Road, one of the 64 roads in the capital that will never be widened, retaining many historical buildings...”
……
Cofo Bistro.
"Hello, good evening, all beauties, I am Xinyi's friend He Xing. You can just call me A Xing. Welcome to our tavern."
He was wearing a loose cotton printed shirt and a pair of washed jeans, which looked very fashionable.
Wang Mei gave a thumbs up and praised: "Axing, the ballad you just sang is so nice!"
Li Xinyi smiled and said: "That's for sure, after all, she is a professional singer."
"Don't be rude to me, I'm just a street singer." Ah Xing said a few polite words and sat down directly next to Li Xinyi. He looked at Lin Muxue opposite and said, "Who is this beauty?"
He has very good eyesight and can tell a lot from the other person's dress.
This is definitely a boss who is not short of money, and his stature is much better than the other three flight attendants. The most important thing is his temperament, cold and intellectual.
It instantly aroused his great interest.
Seeing Ah Xing’s expression, Li Xinyi instantly felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and said with an unnatural expression: “My college classmate, Lin Muxue, came to Shanghai to participate in an event, so I came here to get together.”
"Oh? Lin Muxue, that's a nice name." Ah Xing moved his seat and was about to continue teasing her.
A very magnetic male voice suddenly sounded: "Good evening, Xiaoxue, do you mind if we have a drink?"
Everyone looked up and saw a boy wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap.
“Xu An?” Lin Muxue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised on her face.
Xu An took off the sunglasses on his face with a smile and winked at her, "It's a coincidence. I happened to be eating with my friends nearby, and I came over when I saw the Moments you posted."
Li Xinyi's eyes moved slightly and she said with a smile: "Mu Xue, is this your friend? Then sit down and drink together."
"Then sit down and have a drink." Lin Muxue nodded calmly, but she couldn't help but want to pretend again.
After seeing Xu An sit down, she picked up the wine glass and asked: "Aren't you filming recently?"
Xu An shrugged, poured a glass of red wine, and said in a relaxed and cheerful voice: "I auditioned for the crew of "Towards a Sunset" today, and I have already got the role. Although Although it is only a supporting role, it is a big production after all. """Going to Sunset""?" Li Xinyi suddenly asked excitedly: "Is it the one Li Chengyang and Song Shiyu are going to film?"
"Yes, that's the movie." Xu An raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face.
"To a Sunset" itself is a bestseller, and Li Chengyang and Song Shiyu are both popular idols.
The preparation for the filming of this movie has been very popular on the Internet recently.
Wang Mei on the side was a little surprised and said: "I said you look familiar, are you an actor?"
"Well, I am playing the second male lead in "The Pear Blossoms First Snow" which is currently being aired."
"I'll go!" Wang Mei stood up and said excitedly: "I've seen the commentary of that drama, you are... Zhang..."
Lin Muxue chuckled and said: "Zhang Chengjun."
"Yes, yes! It's Zhang Chengjun!" Wang Mei clapped her hands, eyes full of excitement.
Hearing that Xu An was really a star artist, Li Xinyi and Cao Jingsi’s eyes completely changed when they looked at Lin Muxue.
This college classmate is really prosperous, and his social circle has become so advanced.
“Ding, ding, ding——” The collision of wine glasses sounded from time to time, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
I looked at my old classmates who had become cramped and nervous, and then looked at the gorgeous night outside the window.
Lin Muxue felt extremely happy. A key issue in her heart was successfully solved, and she felt that her thinking had broadened a lot.
In the tavern, soft music sounded again.
"BGM: It's loneliness, slowly occupying my heart, and it becomes more and more deserted in the long night..."
Slightly tipsy, she stood on the small terrace next to her with a crystal wine glass and Hermès, admiring the beautiful scenery.
The old-school red brick buildings in Qingshui echo the neon lights of high-rise buildings, forming a picture that is both modern and retro.
Footsteps sounded from behind.
Axing carried the tray to the small terrace, "The scenery of this street is indeed beautiful, and drinking here is not bad. Mu Xue, I strongly recommend that you try our grapefruit wine."
As he spoke, he opened a bottle of yellow fruit wine.
Xu An raised his eyebrows and stretched out his wine glass, "I'll try it too."
He came here this time just to gain a good impression.
Lin Muxue is an executive who knows Tang Zong Entertainment. As long as he can get it, his stardom will be guaranteed.
Taking a sip of the cold grapefruit wine, Xu An said softly: "By the way, Xiaoxue, I am also a singer. I will release an album next year. If you want to listen to any song, I can sing it to you in the pub."
"Thank you, no need, the song played now is very nice." Lin Muxue didn't have much expression on her face, and her body was leaning on the black railing at the edge of the terrace.
"BGM: Who secretly stole my heart, can't tell the difference between night and dawn..."
The slim black strapless dress fit her curves perfectly, showing off her graceful figure.
The hem of the skirt swayed gently with the evening breeze, like black flowers in the night wind.
…
Li Zhixi put his hands in his pockets and wandered slowly along the retro streets with Tang and Song.
The dim street lights stretched their shadows very long.
“Some people say that this is one of the most beautiful roads in Shanghai, a blend of history and modernity, leading directly to the Huangpu River on the Bund... This building is the Shamei Building, which was built more than a hundred years ago..."
When he said this, Li Zhixi raised his head and looked at this beautiful Baroque building.
Immediately afterwards, the expression on his face froze for a moment, his face turned red, and he patted Tang Song's shoulder hard.
He said in an excited voice: "Look! There is a beautiful woman standing on the terrace on the second floor. Damn, she is really amazing! She looks like a star."
Hearing the beautiful woman, Tang Song stopped curiously and followed his gaze.
Between the multi-curved and carved buildings, a sexy figure stood behind the railing, holding a goblet with slender fingers and an indifferent expression on her face.
There were two boys standing next to her, one of whom looked particularly familiar.
As if he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye, Lin Muxue also looked down.
When their eyes met, the expression on her face froze instantly, and she stared blankly at Tang Song who suddenly appeared.
What is it like to be caught pretending to be B? It’s a rush to wait online!
