The atmosphere in the office was frighteningly depressing, and Youran lowered his gaze slightly. But she didn't dare to lower her head completely. She had to observe the changes in the expression on Ji Guanxin's face in order to react accordingly in a timely manner.
Ji Guanxin's silence didn't last long, and his thin lips opened. He said aloud: "Look at Guan Wan's recent dates and schedule. Arrange a time for me. I want to meet with her."
Hearing this, You Ran immediately said: "Okay boss."
The words just fell. Ji Guanxin's cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, frowned slightly, and then said: "You go out first."
You Ran turned around and exited the president's office, leaving Ji Guanxin alone in the room. Wait until the door is closed. Only then did he get through: "Hello, Mengyi."
Zhou Mengyi's voice came out from the mobile phone, which was completely hoarse. He said in a low voice: "I'm going back to Night City. Let's meet up when you are free."
Ji Guanxin frowned and said, "Where are you?"
Zhou Mengyi was in a villa in Night City. Ji Guanxin left the company and ditched the reporters who followed him, and came to Zhou Mengyi's residence.
Zhou Mengyi has been living in Hong Kong since she started talking about marriage with Chen Youlun, and rarely comes back to Night City. If it hadn't been for this incident, I'm afraid she wouldn't have come back.
Ji Guanxin parked the car at the door of the villa, got out of the car and walked to the door to press the doorbell. The servant opened the door and Ji Guanxin stepped in. He thought it was just Zhou Mengyi who was at home, but he didn't expect that Zhou's mother was also there.
Ji Guanxin called out: "Auntie, when did you come back?"
With unconcealed tiredness and helplessness on her face, Zhou's mother sighed, and then said: "Guan Xin, I'm really sorry that this incident has caused trouble to you. I just came back from Singapore, and your uncle is still there. Something happened, I’ll be back tomorrow at the latest.”
Ji Guanxin said: "Auntie, it depends on what you say, whether it will implicate or not."
Zhou's mother suddenly felt a sore throat, and her eyes instantly turned red. She looked away, suppressing her sadness, and whispered: "We, Meng Yi, are not in good luck. We are about to get married. What happened to us?"
Ji Guanxin reached out and patted Mother Zhou's arm, and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't be like this. It's all my fault. I didn't stop the news."
Mother Zhou shook her head, then took a deep breath, held back her tears, looked up at Ji Guanxin and said, "Mengyi said she has something to discuss with you. She is upstairs. Go up and find her."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll go up first."
Ji Guanxin stepped up to the second floor. Zhou Mengyi's bedroom door was ajar. He didn't knock on the door, just opened the door and walked in.
The room was covered with curtains and the light was very dim. Zhou Mengyi was sitting on the bed in a small black dress, staring at a certain place in a daze. It had been a long time since Ji Guanxin came in, and then she raised her head and looked at him with red and swollen eyes. Say: "You are here."
The black skirt made her face even more pale. Ji Guanxin walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The sunshine outside shone in, and Zhou Mengyi instinctively looked away, like a vampire who was afraid of the light.
Ji Guanxin looked at her and said, "When did you come back?"
Zhou Mengyi lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "This morning."
Ji Guanxin said: "Before I came here, my aunt cried. Don't be like this. Now that something has happened, just find a way to solve it. If you lock yourself in the room, your uncle and aunt will worry about you. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." I’ll give you justice.”
Zhou Mengyi clenched her fists tightly, enduring to the extreme, but her tears fell uncontrollably.
Ji Guanxin felt uncomfortable seeing her like this. He took the tissue box and walked up to her, handed it to her and said, "Don't cry. Didn't we agree last time that you were willing to give Chen Youlun a chance and pretend this never happened."
Zhou Mengyi took out a tissue and wiped her tears. After a while, she suppressed the soreness in her throat. She said, "He confessed to me before the incident broke out. I thought about forgiving him, but now that the whole city is in trouble, even if I can forgive him." , my parents can’t, and neither can the people around me. There is no way out for the two of us.”
What Ji Guanxin had been worried about happened. Originally, the matter was handled in a low-key manner, and the two of them still had room for change. But now that the matter has become the focus of public opinion, no one can say that they don't care about the outside world at all, not to mention that the Zhou family also has to take into account the family's face.
My mood suddenly became extremely anxious. It felt like watching my friend and sister whom I had grown up playing with fall into the river. He was clearly standing on the shore, but he couldn't help her, so he could only watch helplessly. She sank to the bottom.
Powerless, a really overwhelming feeling of powerlessness.
His heartache and apology for Zhou Mengyi turned into anger towards Tian Cheng and the Jian family brothers and sisters almost instantly. Ji Guanxin's face sank and his teeth clenched.
Zhou Mengyi came to Ji Guanxin this time not to complain to him, nor to vent her bitterness to him. Wiping away her tears, she raised her eyes and looked at him and said, "Find a time in the next two days and ask the people below you to do an exclusive interview for me."
Ji Guanwen said, standing beside the bed, looking at her and saying: "Why are you visiting?"
Zhou Mengyi's eyes were red, but her tone was calm. She said: "Since the bottom line has been exposed, there is nothing to hide. To be honest, people outside are happy to see the gossip between me and Chen Youlun." , then I will hold an exclusive interview to explain it all at once, saving them from guessing.”
Ji Guanxin didn't even think about it and refused directly: "Just stay at home and don't do any interviews."
She deliberately wanted to expose her scars for everyone to see and prove his innocence by the way. Ji Guanxin doesn't need it.
Zhou Mengyi looked at Ji Guanxin and said with a faint smile: "I am now at the forefront of the limelight. How many media are queuing up to interview me exclusively. For the sake of our friendship over so many years, I will give this exclusive I’ll do it for you, as a favor for taking the blame for me for so many years.”
The more calmly she spoke, the more uncomfortable Ji Guanxin felt.
Zhou Mengyi and Chen Youlun have been in a relationship for almost two years. When they came to the stage of marriage, who would have thought that complications would arise. It’s no wonder Zhou’s mother said that Zhou Mengyi’s life was miserable, as if God had destined her to have a bumpy life on the road to love.
Ji Guanxin was destined not to be able to give her what she once wanted. But now she just wants a simple love, love with another man, but he can't even protect her.
Ji Guanxin had a handsome face and was holding his breath to the extreme that he couldn't say a word.
Zhou Mengyi broke her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach, trying to look like she was okay. Looking at Ji Guanxin, she said: "I have also spoken to Chen Youlun, and he is also willing to accept an exclusive interview with Xinrui. As things are between the two of us now, there is no need to involve you and Xinrui."
After that, without waiting for Ji Guanxin's answer, Zhou Mengyi added: "We are all adults, and we have to solve our own affairs by ourselves. When I was a child, I always loved to pester you, and I always wanted to suppress you, but as long as something happened to me, You will still help me. Now that I have grown up, you really don’t need to think about everything for me anymore. You also let me help you. No, it’s not help. You let me clean up the mess by myself. Don’t let me. I owe you a favor for this kind of thing.”
Tiancheng broke the news on Friday that Chen Youlun and Zhou Mengyi had cheated on each other during their relationship. The news quickly caused an uproar online and in real life. Naturally, Chen Youlun, who bore the brunt of the accusation, was cheating and cheating. The insults from netizens were almost like waves, which can shake people's internal organs violently.
The next most affected and affected ones are naturally Ji Guanxin and Xinrui Entertainment. A large number of trolls on the Internet condemned the affair between Ji Guanxin and Zhou Mengyi, and also criticized Xinrui Entertainment for being a bully and trying to use its strong position in the industry to suppress Tiancheng Entertainment who broke the truth. For a time, Xinrui Entertainment's credibility and the authenticity of the news it reported suffered. unprecedented doubts.
Just when public opinion was almost overwhelmingly in favor of Tiancheng Entertainment, two videos were posted on the Internet on Saturday, titled Zhou Mengyi and Chen Youlun’s exclusive response to the cheating scandal, and dominated the headlines of major websites and Weibo trends at the speed of light. Search, and even appeared in social news pages.
Zhou Mengyi and Chen Youlun separately explained that this incident was purely a matter of emotional dispute between the two of them, and Ji Guanxin only appeared as a friend from beginning to end. Chen Youlun deeply apologized for the cheating during his relationship, saying that he still loved Zhou Mengyi, but admitted that he did not know whether the two could continue their relationship. As for the trouble caused to Ji Guanxin, Chen Youlun even swore that Ji Guanxin and Zhou Mengyi have always been good friends and good brothers and sisters, and they are definitely not what everyone imagined.
Zhou Mengyi even said with tears in the video: "This incident has made a big fuss. Some people say that I am the victim, but I think that it is both Chen Youlun and I's fault that a relationship has reached this stage. We should resolve the conflict as soon as possible." , instead of waiting until things get serious and our good friends are harmed, then we have to come forward to explain. "
"The reason why I accepted the interview is because I really hope that everyone will not misunderstand Ji Guanxin. Everything he did, including everything Xinrui Entertainment did, was done as a good friend and a good brother, and he wanted to protect his sister as much as possible. It’s all wrong. I hope everyone can understand Ji Guanxin’s good intentions and forgive him for having no choice. He just wanted to protect me.”
As soon as this video came out, it once again refreshed netizens' understanding of the unpredictable situation in the entertainment industry. There really is a new drama every day, and every day I hope that I will not be disappointed.
Now both parties involved have come forward to testify on Ji Guanxin's behalf, especially Zhou Mengyi's tearful statement about her brother's protection, which instantly aroused the sympathy of the majority of female netizens. Those who used to criticize Ji Guanxin suddenly became Ji Guanxin's die-hard fans.
Ji Guanxin went from a third party who might interfere with other people's feelings to a good brother who was willing to sacrifice his own reputation and the company's interests to protect his sister. This kind of image positioning has turned the tide almost overnight. The overwhelming comments on the Internet are all very innovative and cutting-edge.
