Ariella Ning seemed to be able to see her plan. She could not help smiling. “It just so happens that later on, Manni and I are planning to go say hi to them. If Rorey is also interested, you can join us.”
Rorey’s eyes lit up. “Can I?”
“Of course you can, as long as Senior agrees.”
Ariella Ning smiled and cast her gaze at Yunis to seek his opinion.
Hearing this, Yunis could not help frowning.
Rorey was already three months along. Although her belly had yet to protrude out, he still wished that she would not be thinking about returning to the industry at this point in time.
This was especially true at this moment when the Ji Group was in a mess. He did not have the extra energy to settle her matters.
Yunis did not say anything. Rorey became impatient and pulled his arm. She cooed, “Yunis, just say yes. Tonight’s opportunity is hard to come by, perhaps I might be able to find an opportunity! Besides, you don’t have to worry about me. Ariella is here, the baby and l will be fine.”
“This… All right then. I have some things to take care of later. You be careful.”
Yunis seemed to be unable to resist her soft voice. After thinking in a low hum for a moment, he finally agreed.
He turned around and smiled at Ariella Ning. “Ariella, I’ll have to trouble both of you to take care of Rorey.”
“We’re all friends with each other. No need to be so polite.”
Although that was what she said, her eyes were still filled with a hint of coldness.
She was not dumb. The intimacy that Rorey showed earlier was obviously for her to see as well.
When she thought about this, Ariella Ning’s heart was filled with even more disdain.
A small-time actress like Rorey was dreaming of making connections with the A-list actors and directors at the party? She was basically humiliating herself!
“Then you guys go first. I’ll go say hi to some people I know over there.”
He waved at the three women and wasted no time before turning around and walking toward a middle-aged man not far away.
“Try your best to stay away from those few bitches. They’ll only bring forth doom.”
In a corner of the party, Yayoi was holding on to a plate of pastries, and while stuffing her mouth with food, she nagged Rosiley beside her.
“No problem to stay away from them, as long as they don’t come and make trouble with me.”
Rosiley took a small sip of her juice and glanced at that Rorey bunch lazily.
“Haha, I’m surprised that Rorey and Yunis still have the mood to come attend the annual meeting. I heard that the Ji Group is frantically looking for investors and failing.”
Yayoi pulled Rosiley’s hand and drank a sip of her juice. Her words were filled with gloating.
Rosiley could not help being surprised.
She heard about what had happened to the Ji Group from Lina about half a month ago, but back then, she did not pay much attention to it.
Besides, the Ji Group had a history that went back decades. Although there were rumors in the past that caused the stocks to fluctuate, they were all small cases. Even if something were to happen, given their connections and tricks, they would be able to take care of it quickly.
However, she did not expect them to have still not fixed it after dragging on for half a month.
“Haha, this is called karma. Look at how fatigued and anxious Yunis is. Perhaps the Ji Group is really going bankrupt. By then, Rorey’s dream to marry into a wealthy family will be shattered.”
Yayoi did not show any trace of leniency toward that couple.
However, she was right. The crisis that the Ji Group was facing put them close to bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Yunis’s goal of coming here tonight was to look for investors.
Although the Ji Group was quite influential locally, it felt like they were under a curse recently. No matter how much they lowered their conditions or prices, not a single company wanted to invest in them.
