Su Tutu’s face was soaked with a blissful smile.
Qiao Xi: "..."
Do we really have to go there with the dog-killing?
...
That evening, Sheng Chao and Shen Dang were attending a social gathering.
The last piece of land Shen Dang had won at auction, he planned to turn it into the largest children’s amusent park in Hai City or even the whole country.
Seeing there was money to be made, Sheng Chao also wanted a piece of the pie.
Shen Dang had scheduled a eting with several construction material suppliers and property developers to discuss a partnership.
When Su Tutu called, Sheng Chao was in the middle of clinking glasses with soone.
His phone was on the table.
The suddenly lit-up screen caught Shen Dang’s eye, "Your wife’s calling."
"And why isn’t your wife calling you?" Sheng Chao shot back with a retort.
Shen Dang: "..."
Good point, he’d like to know that himself.
Shen Dang pulled a face and reached out to hang up the call for him, but Sheng Chao was quicker and grabbed the phone first.
Such character!
"You guys catch up, I’ll take a call."
Sheng Chao snorted with laughter and stood up to walk toward the balcony.
Shen Dang sneered at his retreating figure.
Showing off like he’s the only one with a wife or sothing.
And then, his own phone rang.
Looking down, Shen Dang saw it was Tang Honghe calling, and his interest instantly waned, his expression listless to the extre.
But he still picked up, speaking indifferently, "Speak."
"Brother Dang, are you busy?"
"Cut the crap."
Shen Dang clicked his tongue, sowhat impatient.
"Sister-in-law’s movie have you watched it? It premiered today, gosh, my date cried her eyes out. I have to say, sister-in-law’s acting is truly remarkable. Brother Dang, if you have ti, you might want to see it at the cinema."
"Beep——"
Before he could finish, the call was cut off.
Tang Honghe: "..."
Psh, so cold and heartless!
And to think he was promptly delivering news to him, is this the thanks he gets?
Shen Dang went online to look up Qiao Xi’s new movie and saw her and Zhou Junqi’s cover poster.
The imagery was quite beautiful.
They looked like a good match.
No online resources for the movie yet, only available in cinemas.
Shen Dang let out a cold laugh and exited the search page.
What’s so good about it?
He wouldn’t watch it.
That heartless woman.
Sheng Chao returned after finishing his call, beaming from ear to ear.
His wife had taken the initiative to ask him to visit her on set, how could he not be happy?
Leaning back on the sofa, Sheng Chao boasted lightly, "My wife wants to go to Jiang City tomorrow, you coming?"
Shen Dang idly twirled his phone, eyelids droopy, "Not going. Why would I go to Jiang City?"
Got nothing better to do?
Or looking for rejection?
"That’s true." Sheng Chao nodded, "After all, I’m going to see my wife, and you don’t have a wife to see."
Shen Dang: "..."
So they think he’s a mute if he doesn’t talk, huh?
Shen Dang scoffed.
The few business executives nearby didn’t dare to interrupt their conversation, or even ask, quietly sipping their drinks.
The phone vibrated a few tis, and Shen Dang opened it to check.
Tang Honghe had sent several photos over, all taken while he was watching the movie.
Shen Dang squinted at the photos, then imdiately blocked Tang Honghe.
Annoying!
Tang Honghe tried to send a ssage, only to have it be rejected, marked by a conspicuous red exclamation mark.
Tang Honghe: "..."
Do you have to be that heartless?
Did he misrelay the news about his sister-in-law this ti?
In his indignation, Tang Honghe complained to Sheng Chao: [Brother Chao, Brother Dang blocked .]
Sheng Chao glanced casually at the man beside him and replied: [What did you do to your Brother Dang?]
[Tang Honghe: Nothing much, I just sent him a few photos of sister-in-law, what’s wrong?]
[Sheng Chao: Then you had it coming.]
People are already divorced, and you have to rub salt into your Brother Dang’s wounds, huh?
Tang Honghe: "???"
How does that serve him right?
[Tang Honghe: Give so hint, bro.]
Sheng Chao put down his phone, a thin smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, "You also blocked Xiao Tang."
Shen Dang hung his head, lazing around and muttered an "Mhm":" Loose lips."
Sheng Chao found it unjust on Xiao Tang’s behalf, "He doesn’t know you and Xixi are divorced."
Shen Dang shot him a glance, "Shut it!"
Divorce, divorce, always on his lips, isn’t it annoying?
Sheng Chao raised both arms in surrender, suppressing his laughter.
Jiang City.
After finishing their late-night snack, Qiao Xi and her friends returned to the hotel.
After showering, Qiao Xi went online to read the critics’ reviews of "Ti and Space Lovers."
The movie had scored a high 7.8 on a certain site.
[A city romance that can be watched in just over two hours, surprisingly good to watch. From campus to city, there’s a broad storyline, and the actors’ performances are progressive and apparent throughout, with the finale particularly moving. Worth a watch.]
[Why recomnd a film that, at first glance, is full of clichés? On the one hand, the acting of the female lead is indeed impressive. She’s brave and fearless in her youth, weighs pros and cons upon entering society, and clearly knows what she’s after. This is indeed a breath of fresh air in dostic romance dramas, drawing the audience in.]
[I don’t regret the ending. The naïve campus love passed, and they split up in the end, which is reality. Hence, I think this is why everyone in the cinema was crying, because it resonates.]
Qiao Xi read through so comnts and then posted a blog entry on Weibo.
[Youth fears not the length of years, forever twenty at dawn and dusk, farewell, Lin Ling.]
The accompanying image was of the movie ticket for "Ti and Space Lovers" and a selfie with Su Tutu at the cinema.
Lin Ling was the character Qiao Xi played.
Not long after she posted, the hashtag #QiaoXiFarewellsLinLing# stord up the trending searches.
Director Ye comnted beneath her Weibo post: [Let’s look forward to Li Zhi in "Blossoms Old Dreams."]
Qiao Xi replied to this comnt: [Looking forward to it together [heart]]
Su Tutu also replied to Director Ye: [Hehe, Xu Jiajia is looking forward to it too.]
A netizen accused Su Tutu of riding on the coattails of the trend.
Su Tutu responded to that netizen: [Yeah, yeah, I’m just here for the trend, what’s it to you?]
However, the real trend-rider was Zhou Junqi.
Seeing Qiao Xi on the trending list, Zhou Junqi also made a Weibo post.
[Zhou Junqi V: After watching the movie, it reminded of filming with @QiaoXiV Teacher Qiao, who is really a very dedicated actress. I truly hope we get another chance to work together.]
Zhou Junqi still harbored complaints towards Qiao Xi for not being cast together in "Detective in the Republic."
He hoped "Detective in the Republic" would flop completely!
Su Tutu sent a screenshot to Qiao Xi: [This disgusting creature is at it again.]
[Qiao Xi: Just ignore him.]
Ignoring an unpleasant person is the best strategy.
Yet her disregard couldn’t stop the external rumors about her and Zhou Junqi.
Zhou Junqi was like a fly, revolting and repulsive.
Qiao Xi had Chen Jiayan investigate Zhou Junqi’s dirt.
Chen Jiayan took the opportunity to ntion another matter.
Qiao Zhenbin had already found the second plot of land, and his real estate project was about to start.
Qiao Xi had previously guessed right and wasn’t surprised.
A few days later, Qiao Xi received an email from Chen Jiayan.
