"Puhahaha. Even though I've already gotten used to your look, why do I always find it so funny seeing you with a poker face but looking extremely aggrieved? Aiai, you're killing me." Luo Yishan laughed, clutching her stomach.
This wasn't the first time she had seen Yuan Meng like this, but every time, seeing a fiery beauty speaking in a soft voice with an aggrieved look, that contrast was really hard for her to resist.
Before Yuan Meng could reply, Luo Yishan finally managed to stop laughing and straightened up. "But, it's okay for you to just hang up the phone and stay out all night?"
Speaking of staying out all night, Luo Yishan couldn't help but think of the last time. The last time she was able to stay out was by using the anniversary of her mother's death as an excuse, and she had rushed back in a hurry the next day. This time, would it be the same?
Yuan Meng seemed to sense Luo Yishan's thoughts and felt a bit helpless. Ling Qianchen was fine. He probably wouldn't care if she stayed out all night or even became a beggar on the street. He might even clap his hands and say she deserved it!
The real problem was her mother - in - law. Alas, she was like a vicious old woman from the 1980s. Her eyes seemed to be on Yuan Meng all the time. Yuan Meng had to be careful about everything she did and couldn't do things freely.
"It's okay. I just need to hold on for another two months. Based on Ling Qianchen's current attitude towards me, I'm sure to win this bet." Yuan Meng shook her head, not wanting to think about her strange mother - in - law anymore.
Anyway, it was just a bet. Her mother - in - law, her husband, once the three - month period was over and she won the bet and got a smooth divorce, it would all end.
Since the topic had come to this, Luo Yishan could only give her best friend a cheering gesture.
They each went back to their rooms. Yuan Meng was about to take a shower and have a good rest when her phone rang again. The ringing was so urgent that it seemed the person on the other end was extremely impatient.
Looking at the name on the phone screen, Yuan Meng snorted disdainfully and with a flick of her delicate finger, hung up the phone.
Ling Qianchen. Probably the butler had already told him that she wasn't going back.
He was really impatient. Was he that eager to get a divorce? Well, sorry. If she got divorced now, she would lose. In order to win, Ling Qianchen, they had to continue living like this for a while.
She picked up her phone, quickly tapped a few times on the screen and sent the message.
The message was for Ling Qianchen. She didn't say much, just told him that she would never agree to a divorce.
Ling Qianchen, who received the message, held his phone and stared fixedly at the screen. Damn it, this little white rabbit's temper had really grown recently.
Come to think of it, it seemed that since she participated in the variety show, she had become much bolder. It was as if she thought having fans gave her the confidence.
Fans, variety shows. It was all Lu Ziyan's fault. If it weren't for him, he would never have thought of pushing that woman into the entertainment industry.
Now, she even dared to hang up his phone. In the past, even if he gave her eight more guts, no, in the past, if she saw him calling, she would probably have been overjoyed.
Although he didn't like her overly obedient self in the past, at least she was docile and wouldn't hang up his phone when he wanted to talk to her.
He picked up his phone again and dialed a number. Hearing the beeping sound on the receiver, it was quickly answered.
"Hey, President Ling is calling me at this time. Do you want to ask me out for a drink?" Lu Ziyan's somewhat unserious voice came through.
Drink? Sure. He was boiling with anger right now, and the culprit still had the mood to drink. As expected, if something didn't happen to oneself, one wouldn't be in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ling Qianchen curled his lips into a cold smile and said in a freezing voice, "No. I think you've been doing well recently, so I want to give you a task."
Lu Ziyan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but shiver. "Ah, a task? What task?"
"You know about the recent project on the network security system, right? I'm very interested in this project, so I'm going to hand this task over to you. Write a proposal for me next week." Ling Qianchen said, "You should know the importance of this project to me, right? Whether you can come up with a proposal that satisfies the other side next week depends on you."
What? Lu Ziyan was completely dumbfounded. "Brother, did I offend you? Isn't it a bit hasty for you to hand this task over to me?"
"You know it yourself. Whether I'm hasty or not is not your concern. What you should think about now is how to come up with a proposal that satisfies me. Got it?" The threat in his tone was obvious.
Tsk, Lu Ziyan felt a toothache and a headache. What was all this about? He knew? Knew what? He had been quite well - behaved recently, hadn't he?
Wait a minute. It seemed that he had indeed done something. Lu Ziyan suddenly remembered the thing about Yuan Meng. Could it be because of this?
He thought that since he had deliberately turned off his phone before and Ling Qianchen hadn't brought it up again, he had managed to avoid it. He didn't expect Ling Qianchen was waiting for him here. Well, since it was his own fault, he accepted it.
"Fine, I know." Lu Ziyan said listlessly, completely losing the excitement he had when he first mentioned going for a drink. "Let me tell you something. There will be a charity gala in three days. Do you remember?"
Ling Qianchen didn't respond. Lu Ziyan knew him well and continued, "Ai Yue will also attend this charity gala as Ji Bai's female companion."
Of course, he had just found out this news. The person who told him was Ji Bai himself.
Although Ji Bai was just a teenager and just a little brother in Yuan Meng's eyes, he came from a big family. He understood some things without being taught.
The reason he told Lu Ziyan this was that he knew Lu Ziyan would definitely pass the news on to Ling Qianchen. This was Ji Bai's purpose. He wasn't blind. He could tell that Ling Qianchen also liked his sister. They were rivals in love.
So, on the one hand, Ji Bai did this to let Ling Qianchen know about it. On the other hand, he also wanted to irritate him.
When Ling Qianchen heard this news, he was really unhappy. His already not - so - good face turned even darker.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Qianchen found Ji Ze on WeChat. He opened the chat box and typed a message.
Keep your brother in line.
Ji Ze, who suddenly received this message, was quite confused. He found Ji Bai, asked him what had happened, and then directly replied, "Fair competition. I won't interfere."
