Chapter 5: Kicked Out of the Chat

ut the door.Qiao Ruo Xing pursed her lips, she completely had reason to believe this was Gu Jing Yan's deliberate revenge.I hung up the phone this morning and locked her card at night. So vicious, an...Just sent it, and the next second she was kicked out of the group chat.

……

"What are you daydreaming about"

Two taps sounded on the table in front of them. A handsome man with good looks leaned on the bar, his elbows propped up, and lifted his chin slightly, a smirk playing on his lips, "Is getting paid supposed to be your excuse for daydreaming"

This man is Shen Qingchuan, the boss next door and also Ling Yu's boss.

The front desk knew Shen Qingchuan's temper very well and wasn't afraid of him at all, "The boss himself isn't always around."

Hey, you sharp-tongued fellow!

Shen Qingchuan was just about to flirt with the front desk girl when an untimely cough came from behind him. He stopped his movements, instantly withdrawing his playful expression, and said in a serious tone, "Where's Guo Wei Tell him to come down here."

"Mr. Guo is giving the actors another voice test."

"Trying it out" Shen Qingchuan was startled. "Is Ri Mu Fan Xing here"

The front desk nodded.

Shen Qingchuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then he turned to see Gu Jingyan's tightly pursed face. He instantly suppressed the joy and said seriously, "Call him, I want to ask him something."

The phone call connected after a short while. Shen Qingchuan pressed the speakerphone, "Lao Guo, how's the sound test going If it's not working, I have an actor here whose voice is pretty good."

"No need, I've tried that. The contract is already signed."

With no contract drawn up, Guo Wei obviously understood his implication. Shen Qingchuan's heart settled back into place. He feigned indignation and said, "To sign such a big deal without even discussing it with me Who is the real boss here"

The other party hung up directly. Shen Qingchuan cursed, "This Guo Wei is getting more and more disrespectful to me!" He turned his head helplessly and said to Gu Jingyan, "You heard it too, the contract has been signed. We'll wait for the next update. We'll arrange a suitable role for her then."

Gu Jingyan's gaze swept over his face, "I'll pay her double the breach of contract fee to make her give up this role. For the Beiwantan project, I'll let you have three points."

Shen Qingchuan put away his previous smiling expression, stared at him for a few seconds, and asked, "Are you serious"

Gu Jingyan said nothing, his eyes spoke volumes.

"Every time I gave her resources, I started to wonder if what people said online was true."

Gu Jingyan only cared about the result, "Does it work or not"

"I'll consider it."

Gu Jingyan was about to say something when the elevator doors opened. Their eyes met, and the familiar face made him freeze.

While Qiao Joxing's movement hesitated for only half a second, she avoided eye contact and stepped out of the elevator.

She politely nodded to Shen Qingchuan and walked straight towards the door.

Shen Qingchuan hesitated, "Didn't your wife see you"

Gu Jingyan's face was dark and he ignored Shen Qingchuan, striding after him.

When he came chasing after her, Qiao Ruoxing was standing by the roadside waiting for a car.

She had her hair tied in a gentle low ponytail, her figure thin and slender from behind. She lowered her head slightly to look at her phone, not noticing the person walking up to her at all.

"How are you here"

The questioning voice held a chillingly impersonal coldness.

She had run into him early in the morning, and Qiao Ruo Xing's mood instantly soured. Her tone was strained.

"If you can be here, why can't I be here"

Gu Jingyan let out a light snort. "Aren't you tired of this stalking act yet"

Qiao Ruo's star eyebrows twitched, who gave him the confidence

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Gu Jingyan became even more certain of his guess and his mood inexplicably improved by a few points. He just kept his tone cold, "If you want to know my schedule, just call me directly. There's no need to go through so many twists and turns."

Jiaojiao Xing endured it again and again, but she couldn't take it anymore. "Gu Jingyan, hasn't anyone ever told you that your face is thick Who was following you Did I follow you from the elevator Did I say a word to you Then who followed up"

"Pfft—" Shen Qingchuan, who was eavesdropping in the shadows, couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Jingyan's face darkened, a sharp glance shot out like a blade, and the other party vanished in an instant.

He asked, his face set in a grim line, "Then why are you here"

Jo Ruo Xing gave him a cold glance and replied, her tone even more cutting than his, "What does it have to do with you"

Gu Jingyan's eyelids twitched violently. If he continued, they were going to start arguing again. He suppressed his anger and said stiffly, "Jingyang is back. Mom asked us to go over for dinner tomorrow."

"Oh." Qiao Ruoxing said nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with me We're getting divorced soon. I don't need to go along with your family's act of a happy couple, a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law anymore, right"

“Acting” Gu Jingyan’s suppressed anger flared up instantly. He sneered, “You’re quite the actress. Come on, what do you want this time Clothes Bags Jewelry Or are you trying to get projects for your Qiao family again First it's a threat of divorce, then running away from home...you're putting on such a good show, just how big is Qiao Xusheng’s appetite Even greed has its limits.”

Qiao Ruo's heart trembled, her hands clenching and trembling slightly.

The diamond bracelet on her wrist was a gift from Gu Jingyan on her birthday the year they got married, no, to be precise, it was something she had insisted he buy for her.

For Valentine's Day, anniversaries, her birthday... she always asked for gifts in a coquettish way, hoping he would remember these special days.

These past memories, which seemed sweet to her, turned out in his eyes to be her insatiable greed time and time again.

qiao Qiao's face was a little pale, and her lowered eyelids concealed her emotions. When Gu Jingyan wanted to investigate, those eyes looked up, leaving only shattered ice behind.

She lowered her head and took off the bracelet, saying softly, "After you get divorced, you won't have to worry about this anymore. Whether you cooperate with the Qiao family or cut ties with them has nothing to do with me."

As soon as the words left her lips, the bracelet slipped into Gu Jingyan's suit pocket.

The ride-hailing car pulled up in front of them. Qiao Ruo Xing took two steps then stopped, turning back to look at him with a sudden smile. She chuckled wryly, "What could I possibly expect from you"

After saying that, he got into the car.

Gu Jingyan stared fixedly at the direction the car had left in, his eyes seeming to blaze with fury.

"Is Qiao Joxing going to divorce you"

Behind him came the gossip of Shen Qingchuan.

Gu Jingyan gave him a cold glance. "Never seen a couple argue Mind your own business!"

Shen Qingchuan: "..."id he has a girlfriend! Who is she"Gu Jingyan's stomach was churning, and he really had no mood to pay her any mind. He snapped back, "How would I know"Aren't you his best friend How could you not kno...
