Maybe it was because Jingxiu's voice was too peaceful, or maybe it was because her appearance full of fireworks was too moving, Ji Youyan was a little dazed for a while.
As if they had never experienced such a long separation, now it is just like before, after she came back from running around, Jingxiu washed her hands and made soup as usual.
The warmth of the past made her yearn to rise, and Jingxiu's cares today also made her courageous. Ji Yuyan licked her lips, her heart beating like a drum.
She walked towards Jingxiu with small steps, so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. She wanted to gently hug Jingxiu from behind, which made her heart hurt a little.
Suddenly, Jingxiu turned to look at Ji Youyan.
Ji Youyan froze for a moment, and subconsciously squeezed out a pure smile.
There was a flash of humor in Jingxiu's eyes, but Ji Youyan didn't catch it.
"As a reward for the cake you gave me in the morning," she explained emotionally.
Ji Youyan flashed her long eyelashes twice, and the arrogant joy slowly dissipated from her eyes. Is it just a return gift
"Do you want to eat?" Jingxiu turned around and didn't look at her, the five fingers holding the spatula were a little hard.
Ji Youyan suppressed her disappointment and comforted herself. It was a great surprise that Jingxiu was willing to cook for her, how could she always be so greedy
"Eat." She replied in a lighter tone, "I don't know if it's too cold, it's easy to consume energy, and the food on the plane seems to have been digested? I just heard my stomach growling when I took a shower. already."
Jingxiu's red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but held back. She quickened her movements a little, skillfully brought the steak out of the pan, poured the sauce over it, covered it with a layer of aluminum foil and set it aside.
"Do you still want pasta?" she asked Ji Yuyan.
Ji Youyan was very satisfied: "No need."
Jingxiu was not polite to her either. Hearing her words, he put the pot in the sink and took off his apron.
"Then eat like this." She washed her hands and turned to go out.
Is this gone
Ji Youyan looked at Jingxiu's figure in astonishment, and his smile collapsed. The temperature in the restaurant seemed to be taken away with Jingxiu's departure. Ji Youyan let out a sigh of relief, her whole body shivering from the cold.
She consciously brought the steak to the table, lifted the aluminum foil, and the aroma of the steak filled her nostrils. Obviously it should be satisfied, but the bitterness that should not be there still emerges disobediently.
Ji Youyan cheered up, grabbed the knife and fork and started eating steak.
The steak has a mellow taste in the mouth, and the bite is tender and sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Ji Youyan moved her index finger in an instant, unintentionally saddened by spring and autumn.
In the light of the knife and fork, Ji Youyan heard the sound of wheels rolling across the floor gradually approaching. She turned her head to look at the door strangely, and saw Jingxiu go back and forth, pushing an electric heater in.
Ji Youyan was stunned for a while, and the next second he was stunned.
She stood up, unable to hold back her rising tone, and said softly, "Axiu, I'm not cold, I'm too troublesome for you." As she said that, she diligently helped push the electric heater to the socket and connected it to the power supply.
"I'm cold." Jingxiu said indifferently. She pulled out the chair beside Ji Yuyan and sat down calmly.
Ji Youyan's hand when he turned on the heater suddenly shook, a little embarrassed.
She forcibly restrained her self-indulgent shame, returned to the table, and changed the subject: "Mr. Tao is back? Is Ning Wei okay? Come with her tonight?"
Jingxiu replied one by one, "I didn't go back. Ning Wei is fine. I'll be with Tao tonight and go back tomorrow."
Ji Youyan frowned when she heard her calling Tao Xingruo "Tao". She suppressed her doubts and focused on the key points first: "Ning Wei will follow you back tomorrow?"
"Well, she retired."
"Isn't it okay? Why did you retire." Ji Youyan stopped cutting the steak.
Jingxiu calmly said: "One is that her current situation is not suitable for the competition, and the other is that Tao let her participate in this competition mainly to find out the reason why she cannot participate in the play, and now that she has found it, the result of the competition is not important. "
"Have you found the reason?" Ji Youyan frowned.
"Yeah. The specific reason is because of Ning Wei's privacy. It is inconvenient for me to say more."
Ji Youyan didn't mean to dig people's privacy. She breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and cut the steak: "It's fine." She seemed to think of something and said with emotion, "It's a blessing in disguise."
But after thinking about it carefully, Ji Youyan was still a little angry: "Lu Min is so unmannered. I was very optimistic about him before and thought he had a lot to do. If he has such a temper, hehe... "
Jingxiu got up and went to the refrigerator to get milk and poured a glass into the glass.
"Lu Min did it on purpose." She said softly as she took the pot and filled it with hot water.
Ji Youyan looked at Jingxiu, waiting for her next sentence.
Jingxiu put the glass into the basin to warm the milk, and explained, "Tao and Lu Min made a deal. After they were eliminated, Tao signed him into the company, and he helped Tao stimulate Ning Wei, so that Tao and I would be in chaos in Ning Wei. It's time to ask her what's on her mind."
"..." Ji Youyan didn't know how to evaluate their method of dying and living. Although the result was good, it was too cruel to Ruan Ningwei.
But this is also Ruan Ningwei and Tao Xingruo's own business, Ji Youyan declined to comment. She put down her worries about Ruan Ningwei, and turned her thoughts to the "Tao" that Jingxiu was close to.
The heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
She stared at Jingxiu with burning eyes, clenched the knife and fork in her hand and asked, "Axiu, are you... Are you familiar with Mr. Tao?"
Jingxiu looked at her, turned her back, took out the glass, and refilled the basin with hot water. The water was rushing, but Jingxiu's heart slowly calmed down.
She put the glass into the basin again, and she bit deep teeth marks on her lower lip. She turned around and affirmed Ji Youyan: "Well. Tao Xingruo, it's my cousin."
She pursed her thin lips into a line and stared at Ji Youyan for a moment, trying to catch all of Ji Youyan's reactions in her eyes.
Ji Youyan's throat tightened, and he asked hard: "So... President Tao signed me, does it have anything to do with you?"
Jingxiu's heart felt bitter when she saw how she seemed unacceptable. She brought the hot milk to Ji Yuyan and asked her desperately, "What if I said yes?"
Ji Youyan stared blankly at the milk pushed by Jingxiu, then raised her head to look at Jingxiu, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
She wanted to ask Jingxiu why she had to help people like her with all her heart and lungs. She even wanted to ask Jingxiu, because of her in the last life, did Tao Xingruo give help in the snow
But she didn't dare to ask, nor did she have the face to ask. Shame and distress choked her throat.
She couldn't forget what she saw at Wang Junchan's door, how dark Jiang Chun's face was and how contemptuous his eyes were.
At that time, Wang Junchan was instructed by high-level officials to induce her to accept the unspoken rules several times, and she completely tore her face. Wang Junchan poked her words on her bleeding wound, and she mocked her: "What kind of entertainment do you enter into the entertainment industry? It's because Jingxiu protects you so well that you have the illusion that you are really climbing on your strengths. Are you going? There are too many powerful people in this circle, and those who know current affairs may not be able to stand out, what do you think you are doing?"
"Will you be awake? If you want to get to where you are now, without Jingxiu, you will definitely have someone else. Sleeping with her is also sleeping, and sleeping with others is also sleeping. What can't you let go?"
"I don't have that kind of relationship with her." Ji Youyan clenched his molars, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"Huh? What's the matter? She has nothing to do with you now, you should recognize the reality and find a good relationship again. I'm here for your own good, do you understand?" Wang Junchan raised her hand and tried to put the room card and bank card into her hands.
"I don't understand." Ji Youyan clenched his fists. "It doesn't matter, I'll start a little later, can't I?"
Why does Jingxiu have power and power, she and Jingxiu together can only become a clinging to power. Why, they can look at her with such eyes
"I was never with her to cling to her power."
"Oh, you said it so loudly, what did you cling to before?" Wang Junchan asked sharply.
Ji You's eyes were splitting, but he was speechless. She never knew that Jingxiu had been taking care of her silently behind her back. She always thought that she was relying on herself. If it all depends on Jingxiu, what's the point of her self-righteous hard work
no. Her head was buzzing.
For her career, she has even lost Jingxiu, she has nothing. Because of Jingxiu's care, can all her efforts be wiped out
"No! No!" She suddenly couldn't control her emotions and shouted angrily. There seemed to be a little person in her mind who kept persuading her not to get angry, not to be impatient, not to be like this. But she still couldn't hold back, her words and deeds were out of her control.
"Without Jingxiu, I can still stand upright, just a little slower, just a little slower..." She is not a vampire, nor is she a flattering villain, she has never coveted Jingxiu's resources. She has always had a relationship with Jingxiu, and never involved interests.
She can rely on her own ability to walk to the place where she is shoulder to shoulder with Jingxiu.
She can.
She didn't know whether she was persuading Wang Junchan or persuading herself. She was afraid that she would show more ugliness, and she wanted to escape this suffocating place by leaving this sentence behind.
But when she opened the door, she saw that Jiang Chun was leaning against the wall opposite the door, frowning at herself.
Ji Yuyan's temple jumped suddenly.
Wang Junchan appeared behind her like a ghost, as if she didn't know that Jiang Chun was outside the door, and repeated it with gusto: "You don't believe that you can't live without Jingxiu, even without Jingxiu, you Ji Youyan can live well. no?"
Ji Youyan murmured, as if her throat was strangled, unable to make a sound.
Jiang Chun looked at her, his face sinking like water. After a long while, she sneered contemptuously, turned around and left with her bag in hand.
After a long time, Ji Youyan knew what Jiang Chun was sneering at. It's not worth it for her to laugh at Jingxiu; to actually like a white-eyed wolf like her in Xiaojingxiu; to be heartbroken by Xiaojingxiu, and she still wants to help her after breaking up.
—Help her, a person who doesn’t know gratitude at all, can’t even see Jingxiu’s contribution.
She didn't know if Jingxiu knew about this, but she knew that Jingxiu really didn't care about her from now on.
From then on, she really understood how whimsical it is in this circle, without background or connections, and willing to sacrifice anything if she wants a chance.
She was still disobedient, and the senior management felt that she was ignorant of praise, and wanted to see how long she could last, so they hid her.
If Tao Xing was Jingxiu's cousin and signed him at the request of Jingxiu, then everything in his previous life would make sense. Why did Tao Xingruo help her terminate the contract regardless of the huge sum of money, and why did she always have a bad face on her after signing the contract with her.
How could Tao Xingruo like a scumbag who hurt her cousin like her.
Her face was so ugly, she had been shaking for so long that Jingxiu's expression gradually sank following her silence.
The hot milk should be cold again, right
Jingxiu's eyes fell on the cup, and his heart became cold.
"You don't have to think too much, she signed you, and it has nothing to do with me." She said calmly.
"She started the entertainment company for Ning Wei, but she also wants to grow and develop, so she can't do without artists. At that time, she asked me to recommend candidates. I thought that you and Dingfeng were just about to fill up their contracts, so I recommended them. You. She recognized your abilities, so she chose you."
"That's all." Jingxiu pulled the corners of his lips, covering up all the pain.
