Chapter 620 - Who Is He Exactly?
Yuan Lei could see that there were two empty seats on the right of Mr. Han but he was asking her to go and sit somewhere else? Everyone has taken their seats and only Xie Ming has not arrived yet.
' Is he planning to make her sit beside him?' her expressions turned dark thinking about this possibility.
She looked at the corner where businessmen were sitting in their formal suits while looking at the scene going in the first row. They were the ones who have invested in the movie, even though their contribution was less but they still did. However, among them, a man was sitting with his big build and was in the mid-40s.
All the other businessmen were hovering around him to get his business card or make business relations with him because among all the present businessmen, he was the most wealthy and powerful.
Yuan Lei pursed her lips when she sensed his lewd gaze on her. She took a deep breath and returned his smile. She pursed her lips and wondered why wasn't he sitting beside Mr. Han despite being the biggest investor in the movie.
It was her so-called boyfriend because of whom she got the lead role in the movie. Since he was the lead investor in the movie, she was expecting him to sit in the first row but couldn't understand why he was sitting between the other businessmen.
She frowned and said, " Mr. Han, I apologies to say this, but I think we should let our biggest investor Mr. Do to come here and sit in the first row. It will be only respectable if he comes here and sits beside you."
She tried to look as polite as possible. The people sitting around didn't find it offending in any way. It's right for the biggest investor to sit with the main cast.
Mr. Han raised his head and looked into her direction. He pursed his lips and smirked. He could see what she was trying to do here. Others might not know but he knew what relationship she and Mr. Do have.
Even though Do Lingyuan is a bachelor in his mid-40s, his reputation is nothing less than trash. He uses his money to sleep with young actresses and throw them away after he gets bored with them.
He knew what was going between him and Yuan Lei at the time when he asked him to give her the role of a female lead in exchange for the investment. He couldn't' deny at that time, since he was worried to find a large sum of investment from somewhere else.
It was his first time making a historical movie and since this genre is less popular among the audience, it's hard to get investment for these kinds of movies. Moreover, since it's his first time directing this kind of movie, it's nothing less than an experiment in other people's opinions.
Now she was using Do Lingyuan's name to suppress him and was trying to remember him to not treat her like this since he is her backer. However, now he doesn't care about Do Lingyuan, since he has a bigger investor than him.
He smirked and said, " Yuan Lei, I know better than anyone how to respect my guests. You don't need to worry about it because this empty seat is left for our biggest investor. You can go there and take your seat, the movie is about to start."
Yuan Lei frowned as she failed to understand what he meant. Biggest investor? Isn't Do Lingyuan the biggest investor of the movie? [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces).

Xu Lan who was sitting in the second row came to the front row sensing Mr. Han's signal and sat on the corner seat on Mr. Han's right side which was empty to not let Yuan Lei sit near him.
Yuan Lei: "-_-"
Yuan Lei's expressions turned dark seeing the way Xu Lan took that empty seat. She took a deep breath and tried to control her temper.
In the end, she walked to sit on the corner seat beside Jian Yan. Where she was sitting, it was a far corner and she was not even noticeable.
Just as she was trying to control herself from acting out by taking deep breaths, she heard the place emerged in whispers. She frowned and looked towards the source of the noise.
Her expressions darkened when she saw a slender figure entering the theatre. It was Xie Ming who was wearing a wine-colored off-shoulder gown which had a slit on the side, which was exposing her milky white legs.
The wine color gown contrasted with her skin tone and made her appear fairer and beautiful.
But that was not the main point at this moment. She frowned seeing the manly figure accompanying her to climb down the stairs in the theatre.
The lightning in the hall was dim but when they came near, she could see that the man was not any old and ugly businessman but a handsome, muscular man.
The man was wearing a grey check patterned formal three-piece suit which hung upon his body perfectly.
However, she couldn't recognize the man. He didn't look like an actor or an idol. Then who is he?
She was trying to figure out who is he however, her expressions turned sour when she saw Mr. Han standing up from his seat and going over to the man and Xie Ming.
' Who is he exactly?'
….
Xie Ming was a little perplexed as well seeing everyone staring at her with their envious eyes. Liwei has told her that he came to accompany her to the premiere and said that he is also invited to this event since he is a popular businessman.
He has told her that no one will think much since he is just escorting her and she belongs to Global World, after all, it won't be much of an issue. No one will even talk about it.
And she believed his words stupidly. He didn't tell her the truth until the end.
She pursed her lips, noticing everyone's gazes, especially the actresses, the businessmen, and reporters. She turned to look at him and found him grinning.
"-_-"
He winked at her as if saying, ' Even though I can't announce our marriage yet, I need to show everyone that you're mine.'
