Chapter 322

Gu Xichen furrowed his brows and walked over in a few strides. As he was very tall, the large shadow he brought with him almost blocked out all the light in front of Tang Lu’s eyes. His words and actions carried a strong sense of oppression “Tang Lu, did I say something to you when I was drunk last night? ”

Tang Lu could not help but step back in her ten-centimeter high heels. Her Gaze darted around a few times before finally stopping on Gu Xichen’s sexy Adam’s apple. “No! You didn’t say anything. ”

“speaking of which, I do like to spoil women. I can’t deny that you’re one of the smarter ones I’ve seen in the past few years. But sometimes, one’s cleverness is often mistaken by one’s cleverness… ”

As he said this, Gu Xichen’s low and hoarse voice, which was filled with alcohol, paused. When he spoke again, there was a hint of laziness, cynicism, and a Yuppie tone “If you want me to continue flattering you, you’d better behave yourself. I guarantee that you’ll be even more popular than Qin Xi. ”

After saying that, Gu Xichen reached out his hand to caress Tang Lu’s fair face lovingly before striding out of the washroom.

Tang Lu had been acting like she didn’t know anything from the beginning to the end. It was purely a misunderstanding. After the man’s figure disappeared from her line of sight, her hands that were hanging by her side unconsciously clenched into fists.

The two names that Gu Xichen kept muttering after he got drunk last night kept echoing in her mind. “Qiao Man… Ji Han… ”

Her nails sank deep into her flesh due to the force exerted, and this sharp pain made her instantly regain her rationality.

She turned around and faced the mirror in the sink. She tidied up her clothes and hair until she was no longer in such a sorry state. Only then did she walk out of the bathroom in her high heels. She returned to her usual pure, charming, indifferent, and elegant appearance She had no desires or desires.

…

Three days later, it was night time.

In a high-end office building in Lin City, Ji Han was wearing a capable OL wind dress. She was sitting in her office, hand-painting the evening gown that the female celebrities who would be attending the starlight ceremony in two days would be wearing.

Ji Han majored in art design at university, but because she especially liked fashion design, she had privately studied a lot of homework on fashion design. Later, she returned to China after studying abroad. Because she was looking for her parents, she broke up with Ji Yunshen After being depressed for a long time, she did not look for a job. She did not even think about a job.

She really began to have a career plan. It was at the wedding ceremony where Gu Xichen was present in front of all the political, business, and celebrities of Lin city. She held flowers in her hands and wore a pure white and elegant wedding dress. She stood on the high platform and looked at the audience, either mocking or mocking At that moment, she really felt like a fool.

It was not enough to be dumped by a man she had loved for ten years. She had to be dumped by another man in public.

Now, when the upper class mentioned Ji Han’s name, other than saying that she was the adopted daughter of the JI family, the other person would probably say that she was a joke that Gu Xichen broke off the engagement on the spot.

Ji Han’s assistant was called he Xin. She had been working overtime with Ji Han for half a month. Except for the night of her birthday, when the two of them got off work, most of the time, they spent overtime.

In the past few years, she had been with her. She had almost no private life, much less any private love life. She was completely like a machine, a machine that was always operating at a high speed.

Many times, she would ask Ji Han why she was still working so hard when she already had the halo of being born into a prestigious family?

However, Ji Han would be silent for a few seconds each time before slowly answering, “yes, so that when others mention me again, they won’t put anything in front of my name because I am who I am, and I only want to be myself. ”

In this studio that was privately owned by Gao Ding, even though she was the boss, he xin felt that she was just an employee who worked for herself.

As she stood outside the door for a few seconds, many images flashed through her mind. He Xin raised the watch on her left hand and looked at the time on it. Then, she knocked on the transparent glass door. When she heard the woman inside say, “please come in. ” She pushed the door open and walked in in her high heels.

“Han ‘er, it’s almost 10 o’clock. I’ll go home from work first. I’ll give you the rest of the design draft tomorrow. My brain isn’t enough right now and I can’t think of anything. I just want to go back and take a hot shower, drink some red wine, and then have a good sleep. ”

“okay, then drive carefully on the road. ”

Ji Han was still buried in the design draft, and she didn’t even lift her head the whole time.

He Xin really wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Han ‘er, you should go back early and take a shower as well. Have a good sleep. You don’t have to make yourself so tired. ”

“Okay, okay, I got it! ”

Ji Han was still in the same state as before, and her tone of reply was full of perfunctory.

He Xin didn’t try to persuade her any further. Instead, she shook her head and walked out of Ji Han’s office.

The sound of high heels hitting the marble floor was particularly clear in the middle of the night. It was not until the sound had completely disappeared from her ears that the woman, who had her head buried in her desk, looked up at the office area outside the transparent glass wall.

It was already pitch-black outside. Only the light in her office could penetrate a little, and she could barely see the outline of the office desk inside, as well as the layers of design drafts on the desk.

She was lost in her thoughts for a few seconds before she withdrew her gaze. Just as she was about to bury her head in the design drafts on the desk again, her phone on the desk began to vibrate.

She glanced at the caller ID on the screen and frowned slightly. Then, she reached out to pick up the phone and swiped the answer button. “What’s up so late? ”

“You knew Qiao man was back a long time ago, right? ”

“Yes! ”

“Why didn’t you tell me? ”

Ji Han stopped the paintbrush in her right hand and swiped the swivel chair to face the floor-to-ceiling window “The entertainment newspapers. The tabloid news is all about her return and her reinstatement as Mrs. Ji. Do you need me to call you to tell you? ”

“When did the news in the entertainment newspaper and the gossip become a reason for people to believe it? ”

Ji Han’s right hand, which was placed on the table, was fiddling with the paintbrush in her hand. Her words and actions were casual and lazy. “Why? Did you see her? ”

“Or… did you see him spoiling her? ”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. ” The woman’s voice was very sweet in the middle of the night, but if one listened carefully, one could hear a hint of dullness in her voice. “What do you plan to do? ”

“What do you mean by ‘what do I plan to do’ ? ”

The woman smiled gently and Lazily. “Don’t pretend to be a fool for me. Don’t tell me that you’ve really given up on Ji Yunshen. ”

“What does it have to do with you? ” Ji Han also smiled, her smile cold and unhurried. “Also, don’t call me if you have nothing to do in the future. You have your own way of dealing with your feelings, and I have my own way of dealing with my feelings. ”

“Ji Han, what do you mean? ”

“different paths lead to different strategies. I think you should understand what I mean. ”

The woman opposite him was silent for two seconds before she let out a low, husky laugh “Ji Han, isn’t it a little too late for you to burn the bridge after crossing the river? Have you forgotten everything that happened five years ago? Do you think you could have been spoiled by the JI family until today without me giving you advice behind your back? ”

“Advice? ”

A faint smile spread across Ji Han’s lips. It was neither deep nor shallow, but it was just enough to make people feel comfortable “You already said that you gave me advice. I’m at most an accomplice. Moreover, I was only twenty years old five years ago. How could I know so many tricks? It was you who taught me everything. If you feel that I’m burning the bridge after crossing the river, you can go to the police or Ah Shen to report me. I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS! ”

“Ji Han, you’re obviously using me to change your appearance in the fire. All your identity information can not be exposed. Is that why you’re so fearless? ”

The woman shuffled her white cotton slippers and walked to the French window. She looked at the lights in the bustling city and said, “you want to get rid of me before I’m exposed. Do you think that you’re the smartest person in the world and everyone else is an idiot? ”

“To put it bluntly, Ji Yunshen and Fu Qingshan will always believe in you because of the friendship you grew up with. Other than pretending to be pitiful and innocent, what else do you know? ”

Ji Han Hummed, her voice still as faint as ever “then why are you telling me so much now Vent or complain It’s useless. After all, these things are consensual. It doesn’t matter if you borrow my hand or I borrow your hand. Now that it’s time for us to go our separate ways, what more do you want me to do Give you some pointers on the maze of life?”

“although I have faith, I’m afraid my faith won’t be able to save you. ”

“Ji Han, don’t regret it. ”

“I have no regrets. ”

After cutting off the phone call, Ji Han turned the swivel chair and threw the phone in her hand onto the desk. Then, she buried her head and started to draw on the design drafts.

The smile on the corner of her lips never faded, just like a seductive datura flower.

…

On the morning of the fourth day.

The injuries on Qiao Man’s knees and elbows were almost healed, and she began to busy herself with finding a job.

All these years, she had been overseas, and she had always been doing psychological counseling for others. Although the money she earned was limited, she had never dared to throw away her old job.

This time when she returned to China, she did not think that she would stay in China and continue to be entangled with him. However, the current situation was definitely that she could not leave. Moreover, she owed Tian Tian Too much, and she wanted to make up for it.

If she could not get rid of Ji Yunshen for the time being, she could not leave either. She could only think of ways to enrich herself. After all, she could not rely on that man for her entire life.

Moreover, her friends and connections in China were limited. Other than Xie Zhiqian, she could not think of anyone else, so she could only call him.

Xie Zhiqian was currently doing psychological counseling for a well-known director in the production team. It was said that the blockbuster movie “I think I love you very much” last year was produced by this well-known director. After this movie blew up, it was followed by two more movies However, the effects and response were very dull. The majority of Keyboard Warriors, netizens, and fans of novels and movies gave him a new position. To sum it up in four words, he was at the end of his tether.

The more successful he became, the greater the psychological pressure he felt. Over time, he would develop a certain mental illness, which was why he had hired Xie Zhiqian to do psychological counseling for him with a high salary.

“CEO Xie, do you still need people there? ”

“Of course not. But if you, beauty Qiao, want to come, I will consider it, but… ”

Qiao Man Sat on the Sofa in the living room. When she heard the last two words from him, she tightened her grip on her phone. “But what? ”

“But I remember that five years ago, the case of the rich and powerful families caused a sensation in Lin city. You, great beauty Qiao, were the mastermind. You absconded with such a large sum of money and came back after five years. Don’t tell me that you have squandered all that money and then have to rely on your own work to support yourself? ”

“about that… the money is gone, but how exactly is it gone? It’s a long story, and I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Just treat it as the ups and downs that the long years have given me! ”

“It doesn’t make sense! ” Xie Zhiqian had already finished the morning’s psychological counseling and was sitting in the nanny van, blowing on the air conditioner and drinking red wine “How can such a large sum of money be gone just like that And do you know what I’m most curious about It’s the reaction of our dear CEO JI. If a woman dares to take away the huge sum of money in my group’s accounts, even if it’s twenty years later, let alone five years later, I’ll still drag her out… … ..

“Then why didn’t you drag Bai Feifei out? ”

Qiao man’s words suddenly came out of her mouth without thinking at all. At the moment she rushed out, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly wanted to say something to make up for it, but the deep voice of the man opposite her spoke first.

“CEO JI is still different from me. CEO JI’s family is big and his business is big. He can still make a comeback without the Ming Yuan Group. As for me, I still have to go through a tough struggle before I can return to my peak. ”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! ” Qiao man still apologized immediately. “I think Feifei must have encountered some difficulties when she took away your money back then… ”

“I don’t care anymore! ”

Xie Zhiqian’s voice became very faint, so faint that there was no emotion in it “It’s been so long. I don’t care why she dumped me back then and took away all my money. During that year in Syria, I’ve become much more indifferent, including money, fame, and status. Now, I feel that it’s good as long as people are happy. ”

Qiao man knew that it was wrong to say anything at this time, so she didn’t continue the topic. Instead, she asked, “then… when can I come to you? ”

“anytime. ”

“then… Can I do it now? ”

“Of course, I’ve always been very tolerant towards beauties. ”

…

When Qiao man drove over to Xie Zhiqian’s crew, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.

The Sun seemed to have an orange glow in the quaint buildings of the Film Studio Complex. It was like a scene in a movie that had been filtered, making one’s heart waver just by looking at it.

Xie Zhiqian was doing a psychological counseling session for the director in the afternoon. She stayed by the side for a while, then ran to the filming site out of boredom to watch a more important scene in the movie. It was when the female lead discovered that the female lead also secretly liked her husband She also secretly did a lot of things to sow discord between them, which resulted in a confrontation scene.

The female lead was Qin Xi, and the female lead… … Was Tang Lu …

The two little flowers that were currently in the limelight in the entertainment industry could be said to have been built with a lot of money, and they had also spent a lot of money to hire actors. Under heavy pressure, that famous director must have had a psychological barrier.

Both of them had graduated from the film and Television Academy, and their acting skills were solid. They had barely shot a few scenes before they passed.

Because there was a charity banquet organized by the Film and Television Bigwigs Tomorrow, Qin Xi and Tang Lu had both been invited to attend. At the same time, the two of them had also chosen to have their evening gowns custom-made at Ji Han’s Gao Ding studio. They would have a fitting this afternoon, and if anything didn’t fit.. They would work through the night to ensure that nothing went wrong during tomorrow’s starlight gala.

When he xin drove to the film and Television Studio, she was almost twenty minutes late due to traffic jams. Qin Xi still had a scene to shoot and was waiting at the set. Tang Lu had already prepared to return to the hotel because she had no scenes to shoot, but when she saw he xin arrive late.. She couldn’t help but get angry.

“Yo, in all my years as a Debutante, I’ve passed through countless Gao Ding Studios, but I’ve never worn a Gao ding studio with such a casual and perfunctory attitude like yours. To be honest, is it because your boss has too strong a backing that all your employees are so upright that they don’t even know how to apologize? ”

There were quite a few crew members around. Even though they smelled a hint of gossip, everyone was busy with their own work. No one dared to interrupt or interfere.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I didn’t expect to encounter a traffic jam on the road. I’ve called Miss Qin and Miss Tang, but no one picked up… ”

“You mean, we have to keep an eye out for your phone calls during filming? ” Tang Lu’s voice instantly raised a few pitches. Even if the people around wanted to pretend to be indifferent, they couldn’t help but look over “Miss, don’t you think there’s something wrong with what you’re saying? ”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… ”

“You’ve never heard of a classic line. If it’s useful to say sorry, why do you need the police? Take your clothes back. I’m going to sue you for breach of contract. ”

Qin Xi sat in the waiting chair and didn’t say anything. Seeing that he XIN’s eyes were already red, she walked over and tried to smooth things over “Lulu, forget it. It’s not easy for everyone. Her boss is Ji Han. You know how Ji Yunshen dotes on her. In the past, I didn’t believe that the siblings were incestuous, but now I have to believe it. ”

“Is that so? Sigh, in Lin city, when it comes to pretending to be pure, I admire two people. One is Ji Han, and the other is Qiao Man. The two of them are like a white lotus flower in the prime of time. They are high and mighty, and they are untainted by mud. It’s really disgusting to look at. ”

He Xin was Ji Han’s assistant not only because of her outstanding ability, but also because she was one of Ji Han’s few good friends. When she heard Qin Xi and Tang Lu teaming up to criticize Ji Han, she immediately became angry “Miss Qin, Miss Tang, at least you are people who have won the Best Actress Award and the Best Actress Award. I thought that if you acted too much, you would learn some of the essence of an artist. I didn’t expect you to learn the essence of the character you acted. ”

“It’s my fault for being late just now, but you have no right to say that about my boss. ” He Xin stepped forward in her high heels, her voice very soft “perhaps the two of you are so jealous of my boss because you are inferior to her in every aspect. Aren’t you jealous of her? ”

“You… ”

Tang Lu was a little closer to he xin. When she saw the smug and mocking smile on her face, she raised her hand without even thinking. Before she could wave her hand over, she was stopped in midair by someone. Everyone present.. Even Qiao Man, who had been standing behind the Surveillance Camera Watching the commotion, could not help but be slightly stunned.

Because the owner of the hand that stopped Tang Lu’s wave was… … Ji Han …

“Miss Tang, may I ask what my assistant said? Did she need you to be so angry? ”

Tang Lu angrily retracted her hand that was stopped by Ji Han and sneered. “She said that I’m a vase without any strength, and that I’m jealous of you because I’m inferior to you in every aspect. I felt uncomfortable listening to her, so I wanted to hit her. ”

“As far as I know, Miss Tang’s image to the public is pure and lovely. Are you doing this so that your image to the public will collapse? ” Ji Han smiled lightly, her voice was still arrogant and low “Or does Miss Tang think I’m your imaginary love rival? ”

“Ji Han, please understand why I think you’re my imaginary love rival. Do you have a man by your side that I need to snatch? ”

Ji Han nodded, the corners of her lips still curved into a smile. “It’s best if you don’t have one. ”

She reached out to pull he xin. “since Miss Tang and Miss Qin are not satisfied with the high-quality clothes, then I’ll pay the penalty. After all, with your noble identities, it’s still suitable for you to wear higher-quality high-quality clothes. ”

“He Xin, let’s go. ”

There was a two-meter-deep pool next to the shooting scene today. In order to create the effect of falling into the water, the pool had been built temporarily. They stood less than half a meter away from the pool.

Tang Lu was burning with anger, and the man’s low voice kept repeating in her mind. For some reason, she pushed Ji Han. The second before Ji Han was about to fall into the water, he xin seemed to be trying hard to pull her back, but suddenly gravity.. Not only did she not pull Ji Han up, but she was pulled down by Ji Han’s strength instead.

The heavy object fell into the water and splashed far away. The people around who were watching the show could not remain calm and quickly went to get her.

It was April, and the weather in Lin city was not considered warm. If she fell into the water, it would only be bone-chilling.

Qin Xi stood behind Tang Lu and glanced in the direction of the pool, then glanced at Tang Lu. He said “idiot” and turned to leave with a smile.

Ji Han and he xin were quickly pulled out of the water. Because the water was too cold, the crew was afraid that the JI family, or Ji Yunshen, would ask what responsibility they should take, so they quickly sent the two to the hospital.

Because of his whip injury, Fu Qingshan rested in the hospital for about three days before he dared to get off the bed and walk around the room.

Perhaps because the doctors and nurses outside the door were a little noisy, he was bored and opened the door to see what was happening outside. In the end, he saw a familiar figure slowly walking over from the end of his blocked vision.

“Han ‘er, what happened to you? ”

Ji Han suddenly heard a familiar male voice and subconsciously raised her head. That pair of teary eyes was reflected in Fu Qingshan’s eyes. “Why are you all wet? ”

“Have you really recovered your memory? ”

“Yes. Do you need to lie about such things? ”

Ji Han’s nose felt sore. She didn’t know why she was so weak that she didn’t have any strength left. Fu Qingshan’s reaction was faster. He reached out to help her before the person beside him, and she also jumped into his arms.

“Brother Qingshan, I’m so tired. Why am I so tired? ”

Fu Qingshan didn’t hug her back. He just stood there. Before he could think of a better word to comfort her, he heard her say, “brother Qingshan, let’s give it a try together? ”
