Chapter 3295 - Sudden Changes (36)

She took out a letter from her bag and pinched the corner of the letter tightly, biting her lip.

…

At night, when the interview ended and Yun Shishi was about to remove her makeup, Mu Xi suddenly walked over and handed her a letter.

Yun Shishi took it from her and lowered her head to take a look. It was a beautifully crafted invitation letter.

She could not help feeling curious. She looked up and asked, "What is this?"

Mu Xi, on the other hand, looked a little awkward as she stammered, "This… This is an invitation to a charity banquet."

"What charity banquet?"

Yun Shishi was baffled.

Mu Xi explained, "Don't you know? This… This is an internationally-renowned charity banquet. Many legendary figures will be attending."

"Oh?"

"Mmm hmm… I heard that many investors and producers will be attending the banquet. Shishi, you must go. Who knows, you might even clinch a good contract!" As Mu Xi said this, there was a complicated look in her eyes.

Yun Shishi kept the invitation. The date indicated on it was the day after tomorrow.

She recalled that she didn't have any jobs lined up for the day after tomorrow.

The venue for the charity banquet was a private cruise ship.

Yun Shishi said, "Actually, I'm not interested in the film contract. Help me reject it."

"Are you really not going?"

An idea suddenly struck Mu Xi and she said, "When you attend the charity banquet, you can use your own items to raise the bid. The money you get from the auction will be given to charity. Perhaps, it can bring Little Yueyao blessings!"

Yun Shishi's heart stirred at her words.

"Doing more good deeds is to accumulate good fortune for yourself and for your family."

Yun Shishi could not help smiling when she heard this. "Is it the day after tomorrow?"

"Uh huh."

"The National Drama Awards is taking place tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow seems fine. I can use my jewelry from the banquet to participate in the auction."

"Are you attending then?"

"I think what you said makes sense. I do hope to accumulate some good karma for Yueyao."

Mu Xi froze. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "Uh huh!"

However, when she turned around and faced the corner of the wall, her brows knitted together. She seemed worried or… guilty!

…

After Yun Shishi left, Mu Xi, who had gone to a quiet corner, took out her phone and cautiously surveyed her surroundings before dialing a number.

After some time, the call was connected.

She said anxiously, "Hello?! You… Hello… I… I've already given her the invitation! Can you let my parents go now?!"

From the other end of the line came a man's voice that had been altered. "How would I know if you've really given her the invitation? What if you didn't? What if you tricked me? Do you think I'll believe you so easily?"

"I really did hand it to her!" Mu Xi's face flushed red with anxiety as tears streamed down her face. "Why would I lie to you?! My parents are in your hands, so how would I dare lie to you? I've done everything according to your instructions! What else do you want from me?!"

"Do you still remember my request to you? You have to deliver Yun Shishi here. Only then is this transaction complete!"

The man paused before continuing, "I'll release your parents when Yun Shishi appears at the banquet!"

Mu Xi was exasperated. "You… you're not keeping to your word!"

"If you keep your promise, I will keep mine. Don't worry, your parents are safe and sound!"
