Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle]

Chapter 70 - either way



70

The first snow in Jiangcheng fell in mid-December.

A piece of silver-covered natural beauty is reflected outside the glass windows, bringing a different artistic conception to the reinforced concrete city.

The heated interior is as warm as spring.

Approaching the new product launch of Jingcong Technology, Li Yichu, who had previously intended to cooperate with Shen Xingzhou, came more frequently.

It would be fine if Li Yichu and his assistant were there. He didn’t know what to think, so he asked Lou Yushu to come over for him.

Shen Xingzhou had just returned from the laboratory when he heard Assistant Zhou say that Lou Yushu was waiting for him in the reception room, and his head suddenly became big.

“What happened to Li Yichu?”

Shen Xingzhou took off his coat and sat down on the office chair, “You haven’t opened Lou Yushu for so long?”

Zhou Tezhu was a few years older than Shen Xingzhou.

He didn’t have a good impression of Li Yichu, so he lowered his head and said, “Mostly, I heard too much rumors outside, thinking that Lou Yushu is with you…”

“Just drive people away.” Shen Xingzhou interrupted Tesuke Zhou impatiently, “By the way, tell Li Yichu, if I see Lou Yushu again in the future, then don’t talk about this cooperation. “

It was Lou Yushu who conspired with others when he was drugged before.

But the bureau that day was organized by Wu Xudong, and it was the waiter in the club who helped Lou Yushu, who was later handled by Wu Xudong.

As for Lou Yushu, he slipped faster than anyone else because the matter was revealed.

Shen Xingzhou didn’t have time to move her, but she rushed to the door again.

The cooperation with the Li family is that Jing Cong has the upper hand.

Li Yichu’s work is still poor, he is not smart enough, and his temper is not much better in private. This time, after being beaten by Shen Xingzhou, Li Yichu himself could find Lou Yushu to settle the account.

Shen Xingzhou enjoyed watching this kind of dog-eat-dog drama.

When Li Yichu’s side is finished, he will find someone to teach Lou Yushu a lesson.

Anyway, she couldn’t stay in Jiangcheng anymore.

“Then Lou Yushu and the Lou family…?” Assistant Zhou asked hesitantly, understanding what Shen Xingzhou meant.

“It’s just a distant relative.”

Shen Xingzhou waved his hand indifferently, “Lou He probably doesn’t remember that there is such a person.”

Special Assistant Zhou then asked about the press conference.

After receiving Shen Xingzhou’s instructions, he turned around and left the office.

After Shen Xingzhou dealt with this, he leaned back in the chair slightly tired.

He squinted slightly, and looked at the phone that he put on the table, a little fascinated.

Pinned contacts are silent.

The news still stayed last night.

He thought it was because she returned to Tongcheng last week for the old man Guoshou who didn’t take her with her, and after returning, he turned to a way to please her.

She also paid the full bill.

As a result, within two days, she returned to her warm and cold appearance.

Shen Xingzhou thought about how much he really ignored her when he was busy with work.

So he increased the speed at hand and took her to Cappadocia after the launch of the new product next week.

She didn’t object, and took the initiative to kiss him.

But the effect is not much different from before.

Hot and cold, hot and cold, repeatedly.

She embarrassed him the most, as if he couldn’t escape his palm.

In the past, Shen Xingzhou would never have imagined that such a day would happen to him.

Just because she frowned, he was about to dedicate his entire world.

Compared with work, Ye Liuying’s attitude made him more tired.

But she was still by his side after all, and he didn’t mind her occasional pettiness.

And the little woman whom Shen Xingzhou remembered was in Chen Mei’s senior ward.

Not that she wanted to come.

She was also a little incredulous when she just received a call from Chen Mei.

You must know that Chen Mei has never come to Ye Liuying on her own initiative in the nearly five months she has been in the sanatorium.

Ye Liuying usually doesn’t come here.

This should be her third time here with Chen Mei.

The nurse in charge of taking care of Chen Mei was impressed by Ye Liuying’s beauty.

She knew that this was Chen Mei’s nominal granddaughter, and she had treated her harshly before, but she never thought that she would be the one who would take care of her in the end.

“Grandma Chen has been in a bad state since she received a call yesterday morning.” The nurse said softly to Ye Liuying, handed a cup of tea and helped Chen Mei out.

Ye Liuying frowned slightly, guessing that it was Ye Zhicheng’s call.

I just don’t know what Chen Mei’s filial son said to her.

Xu is asking her for money?

Ye Liuying drank a cup of hot tea in a good mood, feeling that it made her happier than making Shen Xingzhou slumped.

“Let’s talk.” The nurse took Chen Mei to sit down on the single sofa, and said hello to Ye Liuying before leaving the ward.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Ye Liuying smiled politely at her, her pretty face with light makeup gave people a feeling of spring breeze in the cold winter.

Chen Mei’s vision in the other eye is also not very good.

She wore glasses and tried hard to see Ye Liuying’s face, “Do you… hate me?”

Ye Liuying retracted her gaze from Chen Mei, tugged at the corner of her lower lip and said, “I can’t talk about hatred.”

If she really hated Chen Mei, she would have left her to fend for herself.

Why bother putting her in a nursing home?

This also made the relationship between her and Shen Xingzhou even more unclear.

“Your father… called me yesterday.” Chen Mei felt even more ashamed after hearing what Ye Liuying said.

She didn’t know when it started, but she became less and less confident in front of Ye Liuying.

When she recalled the past, it was like a past life.

But she doesn’t regret it.

“I know you’re doing well, so I came to ask you for money?” Ye Liuying asked rhetorically.

Chen Mei didn’t expect her to guess so accurately, so she lowered her head embarrassedly, “Acheng is still very filial to me… If it wasn’t for the company’s mistakes, he wouldn’t have done those things…”

She didn’t know whether she was persuading Ye Liuying or persuading herself.

She kept her mouth shut and did not mention Ye Zhicheng’s unbearable scolding, as if she was going to hit her down the phone line in the next second.

“He just cares about his face.”

Ye Liuying said sharply, “You don’t have any money, do you? He should have scolded you a lot.”

“…” Chen Mei’s withered face turned pale.

She lowered her eyes and didn’t dare to look at Ye Liuying, she was completely acquiescent.

After a while, Ye Liuying heard Chen Mei say: “He was also forced to be helpless, and he had his wife and children by his side, so the burden was not small…”

Ye Zhicheng took away Chen Mei’s pension money on the day he left.

Therefore, the days Chen Mei stayed with Chen Jianmin and his wife were not taken away by them.

Not anymore.

You don’t need to think about it to know that she wants Ye Liuying to be the scapegoat.

“Do you know how much it costs you to live here for a month?”

Ye Liuying was not in a hurry, but instead chatted with Chen Mei very leisurely, “Nurse Xiaoliang is very good, right? She only serves a patient like you, how much do you think her monthly salary is? And what do you eat every day? Those medicines…”

Chen Mei could not refute.

She wanted to say that this is what you owe the Ye family, but she couldn’t say it anyway.

This sanatorium is not for ordinary people to live in, and the old men and women around are more famous than each other.

Some she’s even seen on TV…

“I didn’t mean to settle accounts with you.” Ye Liuying looked at Chen Mei’s thin shoulders, and curled her fingers uncomfortably, “I am willing to give you old age, not to give you a chance to rely on the old and sell the old.”

“Ye Zhicheng tried to sell me several times, but it didn’t work. He ran away with his wife and son, and took away your pension money. Now that he has turned around, he still expects you and me to pay him money? There’s nothing so good about it.”

Ye Liuying’s words were eloquent, and her voice was much colder than usual. The pain that fell on Chen Mei’s ears was indeed endless.

“You really raised a good son.” Ye Liuying said with a light smile.

Chen Mei pursed her lips, as if she could only say one sentence, “He is your father.”

“I don’t have such a father.” Ye Liuying replied quickly.

“If it weren’t for him, you could live to this day?” Chen Mei endured and was able to hold back her accusations against Ye Liuying.

In her bones, she is still the old lady who prioritizes sons over daughters, and thinks her sons and grandchildren are more important than anything else.

Even if Ye Zhicheng had hurt her, she would not give up on him and Ye Chongguang because of his fault this time.

But Ye Liuying was different.

Chen Mei’s words did not have much impact on her.

“Maybe I’ll be better off.” Ye Liuying smiled softly.

“…Nie barrier!” Chen Mei’s disguise collapsed at this moment.

She pointed at Ye Liuying, her liver hurting with anger, “You are forcing us to die! Why are you so cruel? Don’t remember any old feelings?”

Ye Liuying smiled and looked at Chen Mei with a heavy gaze.

Her light brown round cat eyes glowed with a cold light, which was actually a bit colder than the snow outside the window.

“You live your life by yourself, no one is forcing you.”

Ye Liuying sneered, “Even if I’m cruel, I can’t compare to you. As for the old relationship? I’m sorry it doesn’t exist.”

Chen Mei was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

She was emotional, and her bullying chest was particularly conspicuous on her thin frame.

Maybe she was scolding her as a white-eyed wolf.

Ye Liuying retracted her gaze and got up from the sofa unhurriedly, “With all that said, I have nothing to say to you.”

She picked up her coat and scarf, and gave Chen Mei one last look.

“Don’t call me for this kind of thing next time.”

“It’s useless.”

Ye Liuying’s indifferent voice was blown in by the cold wind outside the door, and Chen Mei couldn’t help shivering.

There is no sunshine in winter, and the gloomy sky is like Ye Liuying’s mood.

Every time she came out from Chen Mei, she was in a bad mood, especially today.

The Ye family was as thick-skinned as ever.

At this point, I’m afraid I don’t want to **** her blood and eat her flesh.

Ye Liuying turned around and left the nursing home.

Uncle Wang saw her from a distance and took the initiative to get out of the car and open the door for her.

Just as she was about to get into the car, she was stopped by Wu Xudong behind her.

“Why are you free today, sister-in-law?”

It has been more than two months since Wu Xudong was transferred to the sanatorium. He wore a white oversized coat and stood very handsome in the snow.

“A little thing.”

Ye Liuying turned back and smiled at Wu Xudong, “Don’t go make small reports again, he has been very busy recently.”

“Then I’m not that free.” Wu Xudong scratched his head embarrassedly.

He knew that what Ye Liuying was talking about was what he revealed to Shen Xingzhou when she came here last time.

It was originally something he mentioned casually, but who would have known that Shen Xingzhou was really here, and the speed made him astounded.

“Is my sister-in-law busy today?”

Wu Xudong rolled his eyes and said without warning, “Would you like to have a cup of coffee at my place?”

Ye Liuying didn’t know why Wu Xudong was suddenly so enthusiastic.

But she still has something to do at the moment, so she can only decline his kindness, “No, I want to see him.”

“I understand, I understand.” Wu Xudong took a mouthful of dog food, raised his hand in frustration, and took two steps back.

Ye Liuying couldn’t help but laugh.

She said hello to Wu Xudong, and got into the car with a short body.

Uncle Wang closed the car door and politely nodded to Wu Xudong.

Wu Xudong stood there and watched the black Bentley go away, feeling a little melancholy for no reason.

He chased after Xu Lu a while ago, and soon broke up again, which made him give up the idea of ​​looking for a girlfriend again. But the family was so tight, since he took over the nursing home, he had arranged a lot of blind dates for him.

Wu Xudong always had no idea about those young ladies from aristocratic families, but looking at Ye Liuying, he was looking forward to the so-called love and marriage.

Gee.

Finding the right one is really important.

If Ye Liuying knew what Wu Xudong was thinking, he might not be able to resist sending him a few words of poisonous chicken soup.

After all, the current relationship between her and Shen Xingzhou was not as loving and harmonious as it appeared on the surface.

Lou Yushu stopped harassing her after posting the photos and audio. Even the circle of friends and Weibo are much more obscure than before.

Although Ye Liuying didn’t want to be involved in Lou Yushu’s alienation scheme, but Shen Xingzhou had been out early and returned late recently, and her attitude towards him could not be warmed up because of the filming.

Ye Liuying was not happy to see such a state.

So she came out of the sanatorium and went to buy the coffee and sugar-free coarse grain biscuits that Shen Xingzhou likes to drink.

The location of Jingcong Technology is very good.

Ye Liuying didn’t come here frequently, the only two times she was brought here by Shen Xingzhou, today was her first time appearing here voluntarily.

She didn’t expect that just as she was about to enter the door, she was stopped by a young woman who suddenly stepped forward, “Miss Ye.”

A black square-neck velvet dress wraps around, revealing a large neck and collarbone.

The skirt is long at the knee, and the slender calf is white without fat.

Lou Yushu.

She wears long, wavy hair that appears casually draped over her shoulders, and wears a silver slender linear drop earrings in her ears, with a delicate make-up.

At first glance, it is ready.

Ye Liuying did not expect to meet Lou Yushu here, and she felt cold when she saw her.

“Are you…?” she asked, pretending to be puzzled.

“Didn’t you receive the photo I sent to Miss Ye?” Lou Yushu brushed the broken hair around her ear, and didn’t answer the question.

“Excuse me.”

Ye Liuying suddenly looked at Lou Yushu and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so real…”

This means that the photo is ugly or the person is ugly. “Is it convenient for a chat?” Lou Yushu tried his best to remain calm and smiled just right.

Ye Liuying turned the watch on her hand and said reluctantly, “You can chat for ten minutes.”

“…” Those who didn’t know thought you could earn hundreds of millions in minutes.

Lou Yushu suppressed the restlessness in his heart and responded with a smile.

Ye Liuying was dealing with Lou Yushu for the first time, and she thought that this person is indeed someone who can bear it.

She said that just because she didn’t want to talk to her.

Finally, they went to a cafe near Jingcong Technology.

Ye Liuying looked at the watch from time to time, urging something silently.

Lou Yushu was so angry that he had to pretend he didn’t care and acted seriously.

“I take the liberty to ask, Miss Ye has known Azhou… How long have you known President Shen?”

Seeing that she was having a good time, Ye Liuying responded cooperatively, “It’s not like Miss Lou for a long time anyway.”

“Miss Ye knows me.” The smile on Lou Yushu’s face seemed to be much more sincere, “Actually, I was wrong at the beginning, otherwise Azhou wouldn’t have been blaming me for so long. “

Why don’t you keep calling Mr. Shen?

Ye Liuying reminded calmly, “There are four minutes left.”

Almost as soon as Ye Liuying finished speaking, Lou Yushu grabbed her hand a lot, “Can you… give Azhou to me?”

“Let?” Ye Liuying retracted her hand reflexively, “I thought Miss Lou would prefer to use grab.”

“Of course, if you can’t grab it, it’s another matter.” She curled her lips, and even the sarcasm was clear.

“I know we’ve been interacting a bit more recently, but I… I can’t help it.” Lou Yushu lowered his head, and his eyes began to turn red as he spoke, “You may not know, I have a serious medical condition. Depression has been actively treated for the past few years. If it weren’t for Azhou… I might not be able to get better now.”

“…” She really believed her evil.

Ye Liuying stopped talking, and looked at Lou Yushu’s face so earnestly, wanting to learn from her acting experience.

Lou Yushu didn’t know what Ye Liuying was thinking, and thought she had listened to her words, so he hesitantly raised his eyes to look at Ye Liuying, “Miss Ye… Can you help us?”

“How?” Ye Liuying smiled, “How about you go talk to Shen Xingzhou?”

“Azhou is very good, and I don’t want to hurt Miss Ye.” Lou Yushu waved his hand hurriedly, and said with tears in his eyes, “It’s all my fault… If you’re angry, just throw it on me.”

“Are you serious?” Ye Liuying’s eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that this trip was worth it.

“Well…” Lou Yushu bit the corner of his lips pitifully, “As long as you are willing to let us be together.”

Saying these words really made Ye Liuying feel the urge to throw Shen Xingzhou to her.

Although she knew that Shen Xingzhou was mostly unwilling.

But unable to stop Lou Yushu’s actions really made her sick.

Ye Liuying didn’t say yes, and didn’t say no.

She got up from the seat gracefully, but walked in front of Lou Yushu very quickly.

Before Lou Yushu could react, Ye Liuying slapped her unceremoniously.

A “pop” sounded.

The other customers in the cafe followed suit.

Don’t say it.

It feels good to beat the green tea bitch.

Ye Liuying retracted her hand and touched it distressedly when she saw the red mark on her hand.

“Miss Ye, what does this mean?” Lou Yushu covered her face, with tears in her eyes, looking at Ye Liuying with pitiful eyes.

Unfortunately, she found the wrong person.

Ye Liuying laughed suddenly, “I want you to shut up.”

“You…” Lou Yushuxi lowered her eyes a lot, “It’s normal for you to be angry, I don’t blame you.”

Ye Liuying nodded with satisfaction, and out of the corner of the eye glanced at the waiter who stepped forward to deliver the ice mocha, and decisively picked up the cup and poured it on Lou Yushu’s head.

“That’s it.” She picked up the bag and turned away. “Thank you for the coffee.”

He took the bag and turned to leave the cafe.

Lou Yushu, who stayed in place, was stunned.

Now she knew why Ye Liuying ordered iced coffee.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Why is this person playing cards so irrationally? ! !

The coffee dripped down her hair down her neck, and the top of her hair was sticky with cream.

Lou Yushu wiped the paper indiscriminately.

She stared at Ye Liuying’s back, wishing she could rush over and slap her on the spot.

She has never suffered such grievances!

However, what Lou Yushu didn’t know was that there were even bigger grievances waiting for her.

Ye Liuying slapped Lou Yushu to relieve her anger a lot, but she made another note for Shen Xingzhou in her heart.

Who made him have an attractive face and mess around without knowing it?

She was really bored.

Whether it is the endless Lou Yushu or the Ye family with a big face.

Approaching the new product launch, Jingcong Technology’s top-floor office was busy, and the executives and secretaries who came in and out didn’t seem to be interrupted.

With the help of Special Assistant Zhou, Ye Liuying found a gap and quietly entered Shen Xingzhou’s office.

The rubbing sound of the sole of the high-heeled shoes and the floor was blocked by the third party, the carpet.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Xingzhou was on the phone with his back to her, with a slender waist and narrow hips, his superior body lines were very eye-catching.

Ye Liuying walked over lightly and happened to hear him say—

“Do you want to sign Ah Ying?”

“Dreaming is faster.”

Her heart skipped a beat, vaguely aware of the caller’s identity.

Li Hongchu?

“I don’t really want her to film, especially with you.”

Shen Xingzhou didn’t notice Ye Liuying’s arrival, so he said, “I also recognize stingy.”

Ye Liuying’s face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Without waiting for Shen Xingzhou to continue speaking, she quickly walked out of the office, as if no one had been here in the first place.

Shen Xingzhou seemed to have noticed.

He frowned when he turned his head to see the closed door, but didn’t think much of it.

“do not mean that.”

Shen Xingzhou looked at the snowy scene outside the window, and said to Li Hongchu again, “A Ying wants to sign with Gu Fan’s company. I’ll tell her when I get back.”

Ye Liuying, who was separated by a wall, did not know the words behind Shen Xingzhou.

She originally wanted to keep the things in her hand, but after thinking about it, she could only explain to Zhou Tesuke: “Don’t tell him I’ve been here, okay?”

Zhou Tezhu really wanted to say something bad.

But he looked at Ye Liuying’s face that was about to cry, and it was difficult for him to say no.

“I’ll try my best.” Zhou Tezhu agreed reluctantly.

He didn’t know what was going on, and his gut told him it wasn’t going to end so easily.

I want to say that I can’t hide it from back and explain it again.

“Thank you.” Ye Liuying handed over the bag in her hand, “Then eat this.”

Special Assistant Zhou: ?

This is very hot.

don’t hurt me.

“no, I’m fine.”

Zhou Tezhu quickly refused, “If you don’t drink it yourself, you can warm your hands.”

Ye Liuying did not insist, nodded and left Jingcong Technology.

This was the saddest day since she and Shen Xingzhou were together.

If Chen Mei and Lou Yushu are just appetizers, then Shen Xingzhou’s dinner is the most important reason.

She didn’t dare to think about what Shen Xingzhou was doing behind her back.

It’s one thing to like Shen Xingzhou.

But she won’t give up acting for him.

Ye Liuying was wearing a rust-red wool coat, tall and tall, and her whole body was dressed in a high-class flavor, which made her look particularly eye-catching when she appeared in the crowd.

And she didn’t look sideways, her pale brown eyes were full of daze and loneliness, and the injured appearance made people want to feel sorry for her.

Did she get it wrong in the first place?

In the end, she was the only one who lost herself and lost her heart.

The author has something to say: ah

Finally back to reality
