After Producer Jiang stormed off, Ji Xiaoli also left the company with Li Songyuan.
As for that director who was so shocked that he seemed to have a "heart attack", just let him recover on his own!
"Do I still need to take you home?" Li Songyuan looked at Ji Xiaoli half-jokingly. "Rich lady?"
The moment Ji Xiaoli met his gaze, all her bravado just now melted away. She gave a helpless smile. "Editor, you're making fun of me too."
"Isn't it the truth?"
Li Songyuan smiled and took out his car keys. "A hundred million! Using it to teach someone a lesson. Was it fun?"
"Well," Ji Xiaoli thought seriously for a moment and then nodded solemnly. "It was! Especially when I saw her looking so annoyed with that 'so what if you're rich' look. It was even more fun!"
Li Songyuan couldn't help laughing. "But then again, where did you get a hundred million? Did you win the lottery again?"
"Where would I be that lucky?"
Li Songyuan nodded.
Indeed, winning the lottery was a rare event. Many people wouldn't experience it even in their whole lives. It was already not easy for Ji Xiaoli to be lucky once. How could she be so lucky again so easily?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Ji Xiaoli say casually, "I was just really bored some time ago, so I went to play with stocks and casually invested a little money."
"… How much did you invest?" Li Songyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Ji Xiaoli thought for a moment. "Not much, just four or five million."
"Did it go up?"
"Yeah. It kept rising. I don't really understand this. Anyway, in the end when I sold it, I got 120 million."
After Ji Xiaoli said this, she had already walked to Li Songyuan's business car. She turned back and saw him standing there stunned.
"Editor? Aren't you coming?"
"… Coming, coming."
Li Songyuan opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Somehow, he looked a bit dejected.
He thought to himself that some people might just be born…
Lucky!!
And at this moment, the voice of the system rang in Ji Xiaoli's mind again.
【Ding~ The player's good luck value has risen to 2,888,883!! Good luck is rolling in!!】
【The player has exceeded the weekly good luck value target. Remember not to overeat~~】
What the hell is "not to overeat"…
Ji Xiaoli laughed speechlessly.
But it was true that the more money she spent, the more she had. However, the system was getting slower and slower.
Take today for example. It took so long for the reminder to sound. Moreover, why did she vaguely feel that the good luck value of the system had increased?
Couldn't 10 good luck points be exchanged for a thousand yuan anymore?
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang.
"Xiaoli, do you still remember the dinner on Saturday?"
Zheng Nanfeng was on the other end of the phone, talking against the wind. His voice was hearty and he sounded very happy.
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "Did something good happen to you? You sound so happy."
How could he not be happy?
Zheng Nanfeng had just called Zhong Canxi and told him not to come. On Saturday, everything would be as Aunt Wei had planned. Once Ji Xiaoli came and Aunt Wei left, it would be just the two of them…
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
"Ahem," Zheng Nanfeng coughed to suppress his excitement. "I've already booked the restaurant. I'll send you the address…"
"Wait."
Ji Xiaoli suddenly frowned and interrupted him.
She slightly covered the receiver and asked Li Songyuan, "Editor, don't we have an interview for actresses on Saturday?"
Li Songyuan: "Yes."
"Okay," Ji Xiaoli put the phone back to her ear. "I have an interview on Saturday, so I won't go for dinner."
Zheng Nanfeng: …
"Aren't you going to see your idol?"
Ji Xiaoli was silent for a moment.
Of course she wanted to have dinner with Zhong Canxi. But after seeing how timid she was today when she couldn't even speak properly in front of him, she didn't know how much more timid she would be during the dinner…
It would be better not to meet or have dinner with him and leave a good impression on him.
"Yeah, I won't see him. Thanks for your arrangement."
Zheng Nanfeng: ??!
Just as Zheng Nanfeng was in a daze, Ji Xiaoli had already hung up the phone.
Zheng Nanfeng looked at his blackened phone screen in almost disbelief.
He… had spent so much effort to get Zhong Canxi back to the country and arranged the dinner with him, but in the end, it ended up with Zhong Canxi going for an interview in her crew?
And he and Wei Yanlan had painstakingly canceled the dinner to create a two - person world for him and Ji Xiaoli. However, now, Ji Xiaoli actually—wasn't coming!
Zheng Nanfeng was completely dejected.
Why on earth did bad luck always follow him…
After Ji Xiaoli declined this dinner, she remained calm.
Idols were better to be admired from afar rather than getting too close.
"Is that your boyfriend?"
Li Songyuan suddenly turned his head and asked.
Ji Xiaoli let out a soft "ah". After realizing what he meant, her face flushed slightly. "No, no. He's just a friend."
Although they had been engaged before, since she had made things clear to him later, he had never mentioned the engagement again.
Somehow, Ji Xiaoli suddenly added, "I… ahem, an old spinster, don't have a boyfriend."
There was a faint smile on Li Songyuan's lips. He slowly turned the steering wheel. "So, do you have someone you like?"
Ji Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat. She stared at Li Songyuan's gentle side profile and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Someone she liked…
"We're here."
Li Songyuan stopped the car.
Ji Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief. With her head down, she almost fled.
She had almost confessed just now!
She was really, really timid today!!
And the timid Ji Xiaoli didn't know that Li Songyuan was now half - leaning against the car door, watching her leave.
The street lamps were dim and the girl's figure was slender and frail.
Li Songyuan watched quietly for a while and then found that his phone had been bombarded with messages.
All the messages in the inbox were from Yuan Yuan—
"Li Songyuan, how do you explain what happened that night?"
"You sleep with me and then act like it never happened? Now you're using breaking up as an excuse. But what about when we were sleeping together? Was that a breakup fuck??"
"Li Songyuan, answer my call and reply to my messages! Face up to what you mean, okay? Don't just hide and keep silent!!!"
"Reply!!!"
…
"I'm pregnant."
Li Songyuan stared at these last four words for a long time.
Then he gently tapped the screen with his long finger—
Block.
