Gu Cai stood in the middle of the bar. All the colored lights were turned off, leaving only the incandescent lights. Several waiters were busy around her. He Yi's group was small, but their destructive power was damn strong. In just half an hour, the entire bar was turned into a "ruin". Many guests were frightened and scattered. The broken glass on the ground was shining coldly. Gu Cai exhaled, and the waiter said, "Madam boss, we are cleaning up. Can you go back first?"
Although it is New Year's Eve today, the bar is still open. Everyone was prepared to work all night, but now it has been ruined by a few scumbags. Gu Cai heard the waiter's voice and waved his hand: "It's okay, let's clean up together, and you will have a day off tomorrow."
Several waiters didn't look happy but worriedly said, "Madam Boss, I just went to ask around, the one causing the trouble is the boss of Chuangshi Entertainment, he's always aggressive, we sent them back like that..."
Gu Cai waved his hand: "It's okay."
She didn't believe that even after Ji Yunxin showed up, he still couldn't calm He Yi down. He was just drunk and not sober tonight, otherwise the person who came to pick him up would not have left a check but a warning.
The waiters still looked troubled, as if they were worried about the future of the bar. Gu Cai was already in a bad mood and saw their bitter faces and said angrily, "Forget it, forget it, you guys go back, I'll clean up here."
"That won't work!" said the waiter, "Let us do it."
Gu Cai's face fell: "I am the boss, are you the boss?"
The girl who was scolded by her was startled and said hurriedly: "Boss, don't be angry, we will leave first."
Gu Cai didn't mean to get angry. Who doesn't want to be in a good mood during the New Year? She nodded and said calmly, "Go back."
Several waiters looked at each other, and finally left the bar with their bags. As they walked out the door, they bumped into someone. Jian Yan lowered her head and pushed open the door of the bar. Gu Cai said, "Sorry, we..."
After seeing who was coming, she changed her words: "Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Jian Yan didn't reply as usual. She went straight to the bathroom. Gu Cai thought she was in a hurry to use the bathroom and didn't pay attention. She walked to the door, locked it, and drew the curtain. The whole bar had been cleaned up, and the waiters had taken away the garbage, so it didn't look that dirty. Gu Cai stood by the booth and rested for more than ten minutes. She didn't see Jian Yan coming back. She called out curiously, "Yan Yan?"
This place is not far from the bathroom, and there is no one here. Her shouting will echo. In theory, Jian Yan should be able to hear it. Why is there no response at all? Gu Cai felt something was wrong. She stood up and walked to the bathroom door and knocked: "Yan Yan?"
Still no response.
Gu Cai panicked. Jian Yan had anemia and had fainted before after not eating for two days. She didn't want to see her collapse in the toilet. She turned around and prepared to get the spare key. The toilet door behind her suddenly opened, and Jian Yan walked out with an unusually pale face and said, "Gu Cai."
Gu Cai turned around immediately after hearing the voice and saw Jian Yan's distraught look. She had obviously been crying, her eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale, and her lips were bitten, but the scar had not yet healed. Her body was still shaking slightly. Gu Cai couldn't help but said distressedly: "What's wrong? What happened? Were you bullied at the Ji family? Don't worry, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was hugged by someone. Jian Yan used all her strength to hug Gu Cai tightly. She had never done this before. When she married Ji Yunxin, she was extremely excited and hugged her gently to show her feelings. She didn't do this when they divorced. Gu Cai was a little confused for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Jian Yan sniffed and tried to laugh, but tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Nothing, I have nowhere to sleep tonight, is it convenient for me to share a room with you?"
Gu Cai was worried: "Yan Yan, tell me what's going on. I'm scared when you do this."
Jian Yan coughed twice: "It's nothing, I just missed my parents and felt bad."
Although Gu Cai could tell she was being perfunctory, he couldn't pry her open and ask, so she nodded: "Okay, then let's go back directly. We'll clean up the bar tomorrow, it's okay."
Jian Yan bit her lip: "Yeah."
Gu Cai led her out of the bar through a small door. After they walked out, they were greeted by a gust of cold wind. Gu Cai pulled her clothes tightly together and turned around to see Jian Yan with a dazed look on her face. She called out, "Yan Yan?"
Jian Yan came back to her senses: "Hmm?"
Gu Cai straightened her collar and said, "Aren't you cold? You don't even wear a mask. What if you get recognized?"
Jian Yan then pulled up her collar, lowered her head, and buried half of her face in her collar. The cold wind penetrated into her clothes, but she seemed not to feel anything at all. Gu Cai shivered as he hailed a taxi and pulled her in. It was difficult to ask any questions in the car, as the driver was quite outgoing. Seeing the two girls outside in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but show some concern. Gu Cai replied to the driver while looking at Jian Yan with concern.
After arriving at the apartment, Jian Yan sat on the sofa. Gu Cai asked, "Do you want to eat something?"
"Have you had dinner?"
She didn't know what happened to Jian Yan, or what the Ji family did to her, so she could only worry. Seeing her like this, Jian Yan moistened her lips and said, "Whatever."
She didn't really want to eat, but she could clearly feel hungry. This natural body reaction was getting worse and worse, and details that she had never thought of before were gradually emerging. Jian Yan couldn't resist, but she didn't want to surrender either.
When Gu Cai heard what she said, she turned around and went into the kitchen. She didn't know how to cook, so she just made some dumplings. There was the sound of firecrackers outside the window. There was a special place for setting off fireworks in the city center. New Year's Eve was such an important day, so people must party all night long. Jian Yan slowly stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the gorgeous fireworks outside and closed her eyes.
"Okay." Gu Cai walked to the sofa with two bowls of glutinous rice balls. She placed the bowls on the coffee table and turned to look at Jian Yan: "Yan Yan?"
Jian Yan took off her coat after entering the house, revealing a sweater and jeans. She leaned against the window, her slender figure looking lonely. This feeling was really strange. Gu Cai had never felt this way about her. She called out, "Yan Yan?"
"Here we go." Jian Yan reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned around and asked, "Are you done?"
Gu Cai handed her a pair of chopsticks and said, "Just put some glutinous rice balls in. If you want to eat something else, there's more inside."
"Stop working." Jian Yan sat on the sofa and picked up the glutinous rice balls with chopsticks: "Just eat it like this."
The white glutinous rice balls exuded the aroma of sesame when she picked them up with her chopsticks. The smell of food lingered in Jian Yan's nose. She lowered her head and took a bite. The warmth flowed into her chest. Seeing this, Gu Cai also took a bite and said seriously, "What's wrong with you? Don't try to lie to me. We have known each other for so many years. I don't know who you are."
Jian Yan lowered her head to eat the glutinous rice balls and said in a low voice: "It's really nothing."
Gu Cai still didn't believe it: "Hey, are you..."
Jian Yan said indifferently: "I don't want to talk about it now."
Gu Cai choked back her words. She gritted her teeth and asked the last question: "Is it related to Ji Yunxin?"
Jian Yan raised her eyes to look at her. The redness around her eyes had not faded away but had become even heavier. She hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: "Yeah."
"I knew it!" Gu Cai muttered a lot, but Jian Yan didn't hear a word he said. She sat on the sofa and ate a bowl of dumplings, then went to find pajamas to take a shower. She had some clothes that she hadn't taken with her when she lived here before, and now she could use them. She took off all her clothes when taking a shower, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her belly was still flat, without any bulge. Her fingertips fell on the skin of her belly, and her eyes darkened.
After taking a shower, Gu Cai had already tidied the living room. She was holding the remote control and watching TV. The programs were still playing the Spring Festival Gala, and Jingyi's TV station was also replaying their previous gala. When Gu Cai saw her coming out, he handed her the remote control and said casually, "Look, I'm going to take a shower. I'm exhausted tonight."
Jian Yan casually placed the remote control on the sofa, and waited until Gu Cai went into the bathroom before she took out her mobile phone to search. She struggled to type the word "pregnancy" in the search bar, and what came into her sight was popular science about pregnancy. She scrolled down and saw various articles, various precautions, and - various abortion advertisements.
She hesitated which one to click, and finally lowered her eyes and clicked on the hospital's abortion advertisement. The advertisement showed a woman, one with a bulging belly and the other with a flat abdomen. The advertisement said the procedure would be painless and would take fifteen minutes. She gritted her teeth and turned off her phone.
The Spring Festival Gala was still playing on TV. The lively and cheerful scene formed a sharp contrast with the silence in the room. Jian Yan leaned back on the sofa, raised her head, and thought deeply.
She really didn't expect that she would have a child that night.
How ridiculous, how funny. When she got married, she dreamed of having a child with Ji Yunxin. Even if that man didn't come home, she would be satisfied looking at the child every day. But she didn't have that child at that time. Now she finally figured it out, moved on, and no longer lingered on the past, but she had a child in her belly
Jian Yan laughed until tears came out. She placed one hand on her forehead, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't sob or make a sound, just let the tears roll down silently. Gu Cai came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe and didn't see Jian Yan. She called out, "Yan Yan?"
The balcony door was open, and Jian Yan was standing there in her pajamas. The cold wind was blowing wildly, and the chill penetrated into her bones. Gu Cai's hair stood up all over his body. He walked to Jian Yan and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jian Yan turned around and said calmly, "It's okay, I'll just take a look."
"Come in."
As she spoke, she returned to the living room first. Gu Cai followed her and wanted to ask questions. Jian Yan said, "I'll call Sister Su."
"Oh." Gu Cai replied hesitantly, scratching his head, and watching Jian Yan's back disappear at the door.
Jian Yan walked into the room and found Su Ziqi's cell phone number. In the afternoon, she smiled and told herself that she would work harder after the new year, and that there would be a lot of resources, so they wouldn't have to be so embarrassed anymore. When she retired from the film industry, Su Ziqi was implicated and had to change companies. He is still carrying the infamy on the Internet. Now she has made a comeback, and she and Su Ziqi have finally gotten through the most difficult period. They have finally started to get some improvement, but something like this happened to her again. Jian Yan had a splitting headache. She looked at Su Ziqi's cell phone number over and over again, but in the end she didn't call it.
The heater was on in the room and Jian Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed. She had made several decisions in her mind, but all of them were rejected. Ten minutes later, she took out her cell phone and called Su Ziqi.
The phone rang, Jian Yan looked down and saw that it was Su Ziqi calling. Her hands trembled and she immediately picked up the phone: "Sister Su."
Su Ziqi said quickly: "Did you meet Yu Yue in the evening?"
Jian Yan frowned: "In the evening?"
"In a bar."
Jian Yan reacted immediately and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Su Ziqi sighed: "Someone caught me."
"What are you doing in the bar?"
Jian Yan's heart beat faster. She quickly told Su Ziqi about her meeting with Yu Yue and what they did. Su Ziqi hesitated and asked, "Then you two hug each other..."
"No." Jian Yan was already confused, and now her mind was even more confused. She said, "Yu Yue mentioned you, so..."
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Sorry, Sister Su."
"It's okay." Su Ziqi quickly instructed: "Don't respond online for the time being. I will contact the public relations department to handle it."
She was about to hang up when Jian Yan called out, "Sister Su!"
Su Ziqi asked doubtfully, "Hmm?"
"Anything else?"
"Anything else you want to add?"
She asked seriously and solemnly. Jian Yan paused and said, "It's okay. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Su Ziqi replied: "Let's talk about it after we finish dealing with it."
Jian Yan hummed softly, and after hanging up the phone, she fiddled with her phone. Someone knocked on the door, and Gu Cai called out, "Yan Yan?"
"Come in."
Gu Cai tiptoed in, still holding her phone in her hand. She hesitated and asked, "Have you been online?"
Jian Yan turned around: "What's wrong?"
Gu Cai handed her the phone and said, "You and Yu Yue were photographed."
Still close-up shots, in several photos, she and Yu Yue were standing and talking together, the two of them entered the same box, and the remaining photos were her and Yu Yue hugging each other. From the photos, the two of them did have some ambiguous postures.
"That damn man!" Gu Cai said, "The one who said he was in the wrong box, he did it on purpose!"
The paparazzi would use all sorts of excuses and methods to take pictures, but Jian Yan was not as angry as she was. She took a quick look and saw that there was indeed a huge uproar on the internet.
Many of her fans came for Luo Jing before her comeback, and there were also many CP fans. Even though there are some of her fans later, compared with the CP fans, they are still far from enough. Now it is suddenly revealed that she and Yu Yue are having an affair, and the CP fans are naturally relentless, and all kinds of unpleasant words follow:
—What the hell? I saw big news on New Year’s Eve! Yu Yue was having a secret meeting with Jian Yan
—Wait, aren’t these two sworn enemies? Didn’t someone say before that Jian Yan was banned by Yu Yue
—That’s right. Didn’t they say before that the two of them disliked each other
—Jian Yan is very good at playing both sides. She came back and tried her best to hype up her relationship with Luo Shen. What does she mean now? She is hooking up with Yu Yue
—Our Luo Shen is wronged! Fuck him, if you don’t look good, you’ll get beaten!
—Luo Shen is really wronged. What are Jian Yan and Yu Yue? How did these two secretly do this? Or are those who said they were mortal enemies just smoke bombs
—Jian Yan is great. She has Luo Shen hanging on her left hand and Yu Yue in her right hand. She is a winner in life!
-shameless!
Jian Yan didn't continue watching. She casually returned the phone to Gu Cai. Gu Cai was so angry that he had a verbal fight with netizens before looking at Jian Yan: "Don't take it to heart. There are all kinds of people on the Internet, and there are even more idiots. Besides, you and Luo Shen have never admitted to being in a relationship. What is CP hype? I think these netizens are just meddling in other people's business!"
"How about asking Luo Shen to clarify?"
Jian Yan shook her head: "No."
She had already troubled Luo Jing many times, and she really didn't want to trouble her again and again. Besides, she was already involved in this incident. What would her fans think if she stood up again? Would Luo Jing publicly slap them in the face? Jian Yan already felt very sorry for Luo Jing, and didn't want to owe her anything more.
"What should we do then?" Gu Cai didn't know much about the entertainment industry. She asked, "Are we just going to let them make up rumors?"
Jian Yan opened her lips: "Sister Su will take care of it."
"Oh, yes, you have an agent." Gu Cai nodded and said in confusion, "It's not easy to deal with."
Jian Yan was silent for a moment and said nothing.
It's indeed not easy to handle. Jian Yan has been in the limelight recently. Although she hasn't released any work since her comeback, her name is often on hot searches and trending topics, either with Luo Shen or with the crew of Yi Meng, so she has always been quite popular, and it's not that no one knows her when she is mentioned. What's more, she was the most beautiful woman at Jingyi's party, and netizens were more familiar with her. It was this familiarity that made the news spread so quickly. People had talked about her and Yu Yue's affair a few years ago, and there was never a conclusion. Yu Yue would not talk about her and Jian Yan, so everyone just thought she was disgusting. Jian Yan was just "recuperating" and there was no such person, so netizens took their affairs as true. Yu Yue and Jian Yan were not on good terms, and they were thinking this way, but suddenly they saw news of the two of them having a private meeting, and they even took photos of them. Although Yu Yue's face was not clear in the photos, Jian Yan was seen clearly, even the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was photographed, and the netizens went crazy.
Although Jian Yan's comeback and Luo Shen's relationship are not confirmed, in the hearts of CP fans, they have long been a couple. Luo Jing has stood up for Jian Yan several times and even showed her face for her. Isn't this naked love? Although Jian Yan did not express her attitude, she did not refuse. Isn't this a tacit agreement? So in the hearts of fans, this person is clearly with Luo Shen, but now she is told that she is having an affair with Yu Yue, and CP fans are immediately uncomfortable.
The online CP fans, netizens who were just watching the show, and fans of Jian Yan, Yu Yue, and Luo Jing were all arguing, and no one could convince anyone else.
Jian Yan's fans argue that Jian Yan and Luo Jing were not together and had never made the relationship public, so they were not in a relationship and could not be considered cheating.
Luo Jing’s fans stated that since neither of them had clarified the matter, they must have been having an affair. Luo Shen must have been betrayed now, and Jian Yan deserves to die!
Yu Yue's fans had a harder time. On the one hand, they had long hated Jian Yan and would drag her out to "whip her corpse" every year. On the other hand, they hoped to see her fall in love and be happy. The two groups of fans hadn't even started to argue with other fans yet, but they were already quarreling among themselves. New Year's Eve was the peak time for surfing the Internet, and netizens were spending time with their phones after eating the New Year's Eve dinner. Now that such a big entertainment news had come out, the atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter. Su Ziqi returned to the company's office to find it empty. Although she told Jian Yan not to worry and she would contact the public relations department to handle it, today was New Year's Eve and the public relations department had already let them go. Jian Yan was not the top sister in the company, and it was not realistic to ask her to call those people to come back.
Su Ziqi sat at her desk. She turned on her computer and watched the news spread rapidly online. There were photos of the two of them on the hot lists. She pressed her forehead and called the public relations manager first: "Brother Cheng, it's me."
"Happy New Year, our Yanyan..."
"Okay, okay, eat first and we'll talk after you finish eating."
After hanging up the phone, she took a breath, collected her composure, and called the deputy manager again. She gave the same answer, and the deputy manager said, "I'll ask Xiao Xu to see how to handle this."
"Okay." Su Ziqi responded gratefully. She was sitting alone in the office, looking thin. Although the heating was not on in the office, she did not feel cold at all. She was burning with joy all over. She was thinking not only about the online scandal between Jian Yan and Yu Yue, but also about what Jian Yan had just said.
"Sister Su, we talked about you."
What about her
Yu Yue actually cried.
Su Ziqi put down his cell phone and took a cigarette box from the table. He took out a white cigarette, lit up the lighter, and the flame spread to the end of the cigarette, which soon turned into scarlet red, and a faint smoke floated up.
After two cigarettes, there was no message on Su Ziqi's phone. She exhaled the last puff of cigarette and called the deputy manager. The other end asked in surprise: "Didn't Xiao Xu contact you?"
Su Ziqi knew that he was just being perfunctory and smiled reluctantly, "Not yet."
"I'll give him another call."
"It's troublesome."
After Su Ziqi hung up the phone, she went online to check and found that the hot search had dropped several ranks. She had contacted the Weibo staff before and asked them to slowly remove the hot search. Jian Yan had no way to defend herself on this matter. The photos were out. If they directly denied it, netizens would think they were guilty, but it was even more impossible for them to admit it. So she could only deal with it coldly and wait until this wave of heat died down.
The office was silent. Su Ziqi was waiting for a call from Xiao Xu from the PR department, but she didn't expect to get a call from Ji Yunxin. She rubbed her eyes and answered the phone: "Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yunxin was standing in the yard. Fireworks had just been set off and the yard was still filled with the smell of fireworks. She stood where Jian Yan had stood before and asked, "Why haven't you dealt with the online incident yet?"
Just now Ji Han came back and told her that he had sent Jian Yan to Gu Cai's place. There was no problem on the way and she got off the car normally. She was not that excited. She was relieved a little and turned to surf the Internet to see that something had happened.
Su Ziqi pinched her earlobe. This was the second time Ji Yunxin had asked about Jian Yan's affairs. She said cautiously, "Boss Ji, I've already withdrawn the information."
"What about the PR department? Have you contacted them?" Ji Yunxin's voice didn't sound as cold as before, but rather very calm and gentle. Su Ziqi didn't want to talk about what happened just now, but in order to deal with it as soon as possible, she said, "PR department - haven't contacted them yet."
Ji Yunxin thought for a few seconds and said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll ask the public relations department to contact you."
Su Ziqi didn't dare to object, she nodded and said, "Okay."
"Ms. Su."
Su Ziqi subconsciously sat up straight: "Boss Ji, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Ji Yunxin said in a clear voice: "I hope that you can contact me as soon as possible regarding Jian Yan's affairs in the future. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Su Ziqi blinked and scratched her ears when she heard this. She suspected that she had heard it wrongly. What did Ji Yunxin just say? You can come to her if you have any problems in the future? But isn't she the most recognized person who is impartial and does not show favoritism? She also hates people who use connections to take shortcuts and never use backdoors!
What is this for
A bold hypothesis flashed through Su Ziqi's mind, and she held her breath and said, "Boss Ji, can I ask you a question?"
Ji Yunxin clutched her phone tightly. Her body was tense in the dark, her ears were slightly red, and her eyes were gentle: "Ask."
Su Ziqi asked, "Are you going to hold Jian Yan?"
Ji Yunxin's tense body relaxed, and her voice came through the wind: "Yeah."
Before Su Ziqi could reply, the call suddenly stopped and the caller hung up.
The author has something to say: Everyone knows what happened on the Internet, so everyone remember to wear a mask when going out, try not to go out, wash your hands frequently, and take care of yourself.
Thirty random red envelopes.
Ji Yunxin: Su Ziqi, can't you see that I'm pursuing her
Su Ziqi: It feels like reading a ghost story.
Ji Yunxin: …
