Of course Gu Yuan could see that Nie Yu was being rude to Hu Yuejing, but she didn’t say anything.
If she had been more polite, she would have stopped her son from saying such things to her former good classmate and roommate.
But now, she slowly realized that although Nie Yu seemed to be a person who acted without thinking and spoke without restraint, he would not attack an irrelevant person for no reason.
There must be a reason for him to be so sarcastic.
What was the reason?
Gu Yuan looked at Hu Yuejing and recalled her previous suspicions. Was it because of this?
At this time, Hu Yuejing also looked at Gu Yuan. She saw that Gu Yuan was looking at her with a strange look.
Even though Nie Yu was clearly mocking her, she had no intention of helping her out of this predicament and just watched her being mocked, coldly.
Hu Yuejing was extremely angry. At this most embarrassing moment, she suddenly remembered a lot of things.
Many years ago, her good roommate introduced her to a very talented music teacher in the school, but that music teacher still admired Gu Yuan the most.
She also thought of the opportunity that she had overreached for but which ended up in Gu Yuan’s hands.
She had doubted more than once whether Gu Yuan was really as innocent as she appeared to be, or whether she was actually a scheming person.
Now, she looked at Gu Yuan and suddenly realized that she was the one.
She just watched Nie Yu mock her like this without saying a word? Maybe Nie Yu’s mockery and embarrassment was also the result of her instigation?
But thinking about it, what a brilliant trick it must be to make a young playboy so infatuated with her at the age of 45?
Hu Yuejing gritted her teeth, what a scheming bi*ch, what a clever trick!
After Nie Yu’s sarcasm, Gu Yuan finally spoke up and ended the topic.
After Hu Yuejing left in embarrassment, she felt that she couldn’t even stand steadily and her chest was aching.
When she got the chance to star in “Eternal Love” and became a huge star that attracted everyone’s attention, Gu Yuan was in the hospital with her life in danger. She had come step by step over the years and sacrificed countless things to achieve her current success. But Gu Yuan wanted to surpass her just by hooking up with Nie Yu?
Hu Yuejing sneered. She stared at the backs of Nie Yu and Gu Yuan. Seeing Gu Yuan holding Nie Yu’s arm intimately, she suddenly had an idea. She decided to go all out and went straight to the back room. She knew there was a VIP lounge there and Nie Nanqing should be there.
She pretended to be lost and walked to the VIP lounge. God helped her. After waiting there for a while, she saw Nie Nanqing walking out, talking with someone with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was going to the night party.
And the person who was speaking—seemed to be Ji Zhentian?
Hu Yuejing realized that her chance had come.
She walked forward as if nothing had happened: “Sir, may I please ask, I am looking for Mr. Nie Yu, he——”
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized, “Mr. Nie, is it you?”
Nie Nanqing and Ji Zhentian saw Hu Yuejing and thought she looked familiar. After taking a closer look, they immediately recognized her: “It turned out to be Miss Hu.”
This was an actor under the company and was once a very famous actor. Of course, both of them knew her, especially Nie Nanqing, who shook hands with her enthusiastically.
Ji Zhentian even showed an admiring look towards Hu Yuejing. After all, they were about the same age and came from the same era. Ji Zhentian even thought that if he had the chance, he could get to know Hu Yuejing.
Nie Nanqing was very serious. In his eyes, Hu Yuejing was just an employee of the group. He respected all employees, so he was very polite to Hu Yuejing.
The three of them greeted each other and went to the night party together. Hu Yuejing knew that she didn’t have many opportunities and she had to seize them. She chatted and laughed with the two big guys, and soon turned the topic to Nie Yu, praising how outstanding and excellent Master Nie was.
“He organized this party. I was worried that he was incompetent and couldn’t even do it well, but I didn’t expect he could do it well.” Nie Nanqing severely belittled his son, but when he mentioned this, there was an obvious smile on his face.
In fact, his son was a pretty good person. As long as he worked hard, he could be quite reliable.
As an old friend, Ji Zhentian naturally saw what Nie Nanqing was thinking, so he also praised: “Nie Yu did a great job on this matter. In fact, Nie Yu is a smart kid, smarter than Qisen. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can do anything well.”
Nie Nanqing loved to hear these words!
He also felt that his son was smarter than anyone else, but he was just lazy. As long as he worked hard, most people could not compare to him. Of course, this kind of thinking was probably the common thinking of parents all over the world. After all, no parents thought that their children were not good enough or inferior to others because they were stupid.
Just as the two old friends were praising each other with great satisfaction, Hu Yuejing smiled. She said inconspicuously, “Mr. Nie is indeed very good. Several friends praised the BRAZILLA CHARITY GALA for being well organized. Mr. Nie is really better than his teacher!”
Nie Nanqing nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Hu Yuejing spoke very nicely, not bad, not bad.
But Hu Yuejing’s next sentence was: “There is also Mr. Nie’s girlfriend. Although she is a little older, she is a really nice person and a good match for Mr. Nie.”
Nie Nanqing: “?”
Ji Zhentian: “?”
Hu Yuejing sensed the puzzled looks from the two bosses and smiled: “Um, you two don’t know?”
Nie Nanqing and Ji Zhentian looked at each other: “Know what?”
Hu Yuejing: “Nothing, she’s Mr. Nie’s girlfriend. She’s a really nice person. We used to be roommates. I just didn’t expect that after so many years, she’s still so young.”
Nie Nanqing remained calm: “Are you talking about Miss Gu?”
Hu Yuejing nodded: “Yes, she and I were roommates before. She is so old, but she still looks so good. It makes me ashamed. People say I am the ageless goddess, but she really doesn’t look old at all.”
Nie Nanqing nodded in agreement: “Miss Gu is well maintained.”
Ji Zhentian also nodded: “Yeah.”
So the topic passed.
The two big guys, Nie and Ji, continued to chat and laugh about other things, and occasionally talked to Hu Yuejing. Soon the elevator reached the lobby on the first floor, and the two big guys went to their seats respectively. Naturally, Hu Yuejing couldn’t be so shameless as to go over.
She had no choice but to leave.
After leaving, Hu Yuejing went to her seat anxiously.
What went wrong? Why didn’t Nie Nanqing care about Gu Yuan’s affairs?
Even if he didn’t care that Gu Yuan was already 45 years old, was he really not interested in Gu Yuan? How could he have no reaction at all after hearing about the intimacy between Gu Yuan and Nie Yu?
And that Ji Zhentian, no matter how unfaithful he was, could he at least give her some reaction?
How come she spent so much time talking to them, but they just acted like they didn’t hear anything?
Hu Yuejing was completely speechless, and she began to wonder if there was something wrong with this world.
What on earth happened?
…
On the other side, Ji Zhentian and Nie Nanqing sat side by side, and they both thought of Hu Yuejing at the same time.
“This Miss Hu, was she once Miss Gu’s roommate?”
“Sounds like that.”
They smiled at each other, with some helplessness on their faces.
They were both old foxes in the business world and could see through the thoughts of their subordinates before they even opened their mouths.
“It seems that Miss Gu’s dormitory relations were not peaceful back then.” Ji Zhentian sighed.
“Yes, Miss Gu… didn’t have an easy life back than!” Nie Nanqing also sighed.
“This Miss Hu also married into a wealthy family. Which family did she marry into?” Ji Zhentian was a romantic man and loved beautiful women. He might have admired Hu Yuejing’s beauty at the beginning, but he just took a look at her and didn’t take it to heart. As for who she married, he naturally didn’t care.
“She is married to the only son of the Lincheng’s Chen family, Chen Heran.” After all, Nie Nanqing was the boss of the entertainment industry, so he must know about this kind of thing.
“He…” Upon hearing this, Ji Zhentian immediately knew that this Chen Heran was a playboy in the past. Even after he got married, he still had affairs with other women. It seemed that he had an absurd affair a few years ago. It was because of this absurd affair that he offended people. In addition, he suffered from his own investment failures, and the family business was on the verge of collapse, and it seemed that it could not be saved.
The reason why Ji Zhentian knew this was that an elder of the Chen family came to him and asked him to give him some help.
But although Ji Zhentian was a playboy, he had a good brain. He certainly won’t do such a thing that would waste money. He was no pushover to have reached his current position.
Ji Zhentian pondered this, tapping his fingers lightly on the shiny tabletop, and said with a smile: “Miss Gu has had a hard time these years. I didn’t expect her to encounter such a thing before her debut. Let me see how to deal with this matter.”
Nie Nanqing said, “Old Ji, we really can’t not do something when Miss Gu encounters this kind of thing, but Miss Hu is from the entertainment industry after all, and this matter was caused by Nie Yu, Old Ji, you don’t have to worry about it, I’ll do it.”
Ji Zhentian: “It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t worry, I’ll do it.”
Nie Nanqing said seriously: “Let me do it.”
Ji Zhentian: “…”
He looked at Nie Nanqing and frowned, then suddenly his eyebrows relaxed and he smiled. While laughing, he patted Nie Nanqing’s shoulder: “Old Nie, I really didn’t expect this, tut…tut…tut…”
Could a thousand-year-old iron tree bloom? That’s not easy!
