On the other side, in the hospital, after Ji Xiaoli sent the message, she also turned off the phone screen.
Staring out of the window at the boundless night, her gaze dimmed.
She had nothing much to say about Li Songyuan. When she first entered the workplace, it was only natural for her to rely on and trust a gentle and polite senior.
As for falling in love...
She couldn't say she had never had feelings for him, nor could she say that those feelings had completely faded. But she, Ji Xiaoli, would never fly into the fire knowing he was a scumbag.
She let out a soft sigh and turned around, ready to leave.
Zheng Nanfeng was lying halfway on the hospital bed. Seeing her about to leave, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hey, it's so late. Why don't you just stay in the hospital tonight?"
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli gave him a sidelong glance and then remembered the system's detection result.
True love... lusting after her body...
The eight - character maxim was really true.
"Come on," Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "I'll drive back."
She had just bought a car and it would come in handy.
But just as she took two steps, she heard the system prompt: [Ding! Congratulations to the player. Your good - luck value has increased by 11,000!!]
11,000?!
Where did the 11,000 come from? She hadn't even left the hospital just now. Where did she spend 110,000?
Wait... could it be from a previous expense?
Ji Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she squinted at Zheng Nanfeng.
At that moment, Zheng Nanfeng was raising his hand, looking at the gold bracelet on his wrist. He murmured to himself, "It would be better if it were a bit bigger. It's a bit tight and uncomfortable now..."
He paused. Suddenly, he realized that Ji Xiaoli hadn't left and was still standing there looking at him. Zheng Nanfeng was confused. "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Xiaoli's gaze grew even more solemn. She asked in disbelief, "You... how much did this bracelet cost?"
"Let me check," Zheng Nanfeng said.
He casually picked up the brocade box beside him, took out the invoice, and looked at it. "110,000." Then he looked up at her teasingly. "What? Do you want me to reimburse you?"
110,000...
Converted into good - luck value, it was exactly 11,000!
Ji Xiaoli gasped. Sure enough, just as she thought.
She shook her head blankly. "I won't ask you for reimbursement. I'll buy you another bracelet. No - I'll buy you a gold store!"
...
The next day, the weather was refreshing, and the crew continued filming as usual.
Li Songyuan was sitting in the shed, looking at Zhong Canxi who was rehearsing through his white - framed glasses.
Under the scorching sun, Zhong Canxi was wearing a thin shirt and running on the street. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was out of breath.
But since Pan Damin didn't call "cut", Zhong Canxi didn't dare to stop for a moment. Running at such a high speed, it seemed as if he would collapse from exhaustion the next moment...
Li Songyuan squinted his eyes as he watched and let out a silent sneer.
Oh, it was obvious that this guy was a very hard - working person. To be honest, he really seemed to have stepped out of Ji Xiaoli's novel.
But...
So what?
He had a bad heart. That woman, Ji Xiaoli, would surely not take a fancy to him.
She should like a clean and mature man.
Just as he was thinking, a head leaned towards him. "Hey, Brother Songyuan, do you think we should add a scene for Zhong Canxi here to show his state of mind after getting rich overnight?"
Li Songyuan sneered and gave this person a sidelong glance.
This person was the third screenwriter besides him and Ji Xiaoli. Or rather, this was the real screenwriter, Jiang Longhan.
Although he was experienced and a veteran in this field, unfortunately, he didn't know how to adapt to the situation. He was an old - fashioned person. How could he make a name for himself?
Just like now. With the awkward relationship between Ji Xiaoli and Zhong Canxi, he actually wanted to add a scene for Zhong Canxi. Wasn't he afraid of offending Ji Xiaoli?
"What do you think?" Li Songyuan pushed his glasses and asked calmly. "Should we discuss it with Xiaoli?"
Ji Xiaoli was still in the hospital accompanying Zheng Nanfeng. No one knew when she would come back.
Jiang Longhan was stunned for a moment. Then he seemed to understand but not really and whispered, "Do you mean that because of the news that Screenwriter Ji kept him as a lover, we should add more scenes for him?"
Kept him as a lover?
Oh!
Li Songyuan's eyes turned cold, and he let out a half - sneer. This was such old news, and this old - fashioned guy still believed it!
"Yeah... but I've also heard that they are a proper boyfriend - girlfriend pair. I'm so confused," Jiang Longhan clicked his tongue, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Ah, whatever! Anyway, the play is the most important thing now, right?"
Just as Jiang Longhan was speaking, the stagehand sister interrupted him sharply. "Oh my God! Brother Jiang, you really don't surf the Internet! Where the news has gone, and you haven't even read it!"
Jiang Longhan was dumbfounded.
The news was serialized?
Li Songyuan knew it well, and the smile on his lips turned colder. Seeing Jiang Longhan's confused look, he kindly explained to him, "Brother Jiang, the latest news - Ji Xiaoli didn't keep Zhong Canxi as a lover, nor is she in a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship with him."
"Ah..." Jiang Longhan was even more confused.
What was going on?
"Really?"
Li Songyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the stagehand sister, about to ask her to confirm his words. But he saw that the stagehand was also looking at him with a sneer.
Li Songyuan's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, the stagehand shook her head with a sneer. "Screenwriter Li, it seems your news is not up - to - date. Our Screenwriter Ji didn't not keep Zhong Canxi as a lover. She just used to."
Li Songyuan was stunned. His face immediately showed the same confused look as Jiang Longhan's.
What did "used to" mean?
"Now Screenwriter Ji doesn't keep Zhong Canxi as a lover anymore. Instead, she has turned to keep the young master of the Zheng Group - Zheng Nanfeng," the stagehand said, raising her eyebrows. "Do you know the young master Zheng? He's the big investor who just came recently!"
The stagehand clicked her tongue twice, and her face immediately showed envy and jealousy. "She got tired of the young hunk and switched to a rich second - generation. You see, this woman really goes bad when she has money..."
Li Songyuan's face turned pale. "Where did you get this news?"
"From Weibo! Screenwriter Li, you don't surf the Internet either? After staying with Brother Jiang for so long, you've also become old - fashioned!"
After mocking with a laugh, the stagehand shook her head and left.
Li Songyuan was still in shock. After taking a deep breath, he clicked on Weibo with a glimmer of hope.
When he saw the trending search, his last bit of hope shattered into pieces -
#Which Woman Doesn't Want to Be Ji Xiaoli#
It was the number one trending search, and the popularity remained high!
