Chapter 23: I love to pretend

The next day, Lu Yanbei went to the company early in the morning, and Ji Xingchen was not idle either.

She called Qi Yue and asked her to make an appointment with Gu Yao, the daughter of the Gu family.

Lu's new Holiday Hot Spring Hotel opened to the public today, and Ji Xingchen decided to locate it here.

It took three generations of the Gu family to give birth to such a girl. She was not only doted on by the old lady, but also by everyone in the Gu family.

Gu Yao's arrogance is not much different from Ji Xingchen's.

Therefore, the two of them are always at odds with each other. Whether it is a show or a dinner, whenever they meet, they always say a few words to each other.

It's just that Ji Xingchen still takes advantage of the Lu family and always has the upper hand. This is also the reason why Ji Xingchen asked Qi Yue to make an appointment with Gu Yao. The main reason is to call him himself, and the other party may not answer the phone at all.

Qi Yue naturally knew Ji Xingchen's purpose. She came today not only to bring sandwich biscuits but also to play the role of peacemaker.

The first place she arrived was looking around at the door of the hotel. The first person to arrive was Ji Xingchen.

Ji Xingchen took off his sunglasses, "Gu Yao isn't here yet?"

Just as Qi Yue was about to speak, a delicate voice came from behind her.

"Qi Yue, you didn't tell me that there was someone else. If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come." Gu Yao was dressed in pink Chanel, with a raised chin.

In fact, she had arrived a long time ago, and her car was parked far away. She waited until Ji Xingchen's car arrived before asking the driver to drive over.

She absolutely, absolutely cannot arrive earlier than Ji Xingchen! This is related to her Gu Yao's face.

Ji Xingchen was too lazy to argue with her today, and kept looking at Gu Yao repeatedly.

Ji Xingchen's uncharacteristic behavior and vaguely appreciative eyes made Gu Yao feel a little hairy. She took two steps back, frowning and guarding her face.

"You look pretty good today." Ji Xingchen finally spoke up. He had no choice but to praise Gu Yao, which was more uncomfortable for her than eating shit. She had to do enough mental construction.

Gu Yao seemed to have seen a ghost. She pursed her lips and looked at Qi Yue: "Is she crazy?"

Ji Xingchen: "..." Sure enough, there are reasons why some people can become mortal enemies.

Qi Yue pulled Gu Yao over and said, "Yao Yao, you look really good today. Is it the high-end dress that just came out in the spring? I didn't even decide on it before."

Only then did Gu Yao smile again, with a proud look on her face: "I still have a few sets at home. If you like them, go and pick out a few from me."

After saying that, she glanced at Ji Xingchen and coughed dryly, "You look good today."

Ji Xingchen showed a standard smile: "Thank you."

The three of them went to the soup pool together, with the waiter leading the way and Ji Xingchen walking at the front, wearing sunglasses. Qi Yue and Gu Yao were on the left and right, looking like her bodyguards.

Gu Yao soon realized something was wrong. She straightened her back and squeezed to Ji Xingchen's side, forcing her to walk side by side.

When they arrived at the place, Ji Xingchen and Qi Yue sat on wicker chairs, waiting for Gu Yao to change clothes.

Qi Yue opened the coconut juice, inserted a straw and handed it to Ji Xingchen: "Do you think Gu Yao is reliable? Based on your relationship, can she speak for your Lu Yanbei?"

Ji Xingchen had a calm look on his face: "Gu Yao is a simple-minded person who also likes to chase stars. It's easy to get rid of her."

Qi Yue: "It's not difficult to deal with Gu Yao. The question is, even if Gu Yao goes back to Gu's house to speak for Lu Yanbei, will Gu Ting definitely give the project to Lu?"

She remembered that the Tang family was also eyeing Nanwan this time.

The Tang family specializes in real estate development and has a greater advantage than the Lu family.

Ji Xingchen took a sip of coconut juice: "The Tang family only has such an advantage, but the Lu family has strong financial resources, and the Tang family's main development is not in Beicheng. They will not invest too much money in this project. Now the project is too late."

If the approval is delayed, Gu Ting is probably also struggling. When both parties have their own advantages and it is difficult to make a decision, Gu Ting is easily swayed by the fact that his beloved little daughter pesters her to say a few good words."

After Qi Yue listened, she gave Ji Xingchen a thumbs up: "Xingxing, sometimes I think you are quite business-savvy. But aren't you and Lu Yanbei at odds with each other? Why are you helping him so much this time?"

Ji Xingchen bit the straw and said casually: "He said that the Nanwan case was completed, so he asked grandpa to come forward to solve the Ji family's joint venture issue."

If the joint venture is successful, she can divorce him.

What a good thing, of course she should be more active.

When Qi Yue wanted to ask again, Gu Yao twisted her waist and walked over.

Ji Xingchen raised her eyelids. She used to think that Gu Yao was pretty good-looking, but Gu Yao had no clear idea of ​​her own beauty and wore heavy makeup all day long.

Now that I have taken off my makeup, my face is clear, and I look like a pure little beauty.

Ji Xingchen has always liked beauties and usually ignored Gu Yao, but now he was interested in teasing her: "Miss Gu, no makeup is better than makeup."

Gu Yao frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ji Xingchen smiled: "I compliment you on how beautiful you are."

Gu Yao looked blank. Although she doubted the truth of Ji Xingchen's words, what was the reason for her inexplicable joy?

Pretending not to care, she got out of the soup pool and walked to the other side, deliberately keeping a distance from Ji Xingchen.

Ji Xingchen's fox eyes slightly raised, he put his phone aside carelessly, counting down in his mind.

3,2,1…

The phone screen lit up instantly.

Ji Xingchen clicked on his phone and connected to the video call.

A young and handsome face appeared on the screen.

"Sister Chen, are you busy?"

Gu Yao on the side looked cautiously at Ji Xingchen.

Strange, why does she think this voice sounds familiar?

Ji Xingchen did not get into the water. She lay on the wicker chair and waved to the boy on the screen: "I'm not busy. Why did you remember to make a video call to me?"

The person on the other side said quickly: "Next week is ity's concert. I have left you two tickets. Come over with Sister Qi."

Ji Xingchen: "I'm taking a bath in the hot spring right now. I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, sister." The WeChat video was hung up over there.

Ji Xingchen glanced at Gu Yao, who had moved to her side at some point.

Gu Yao endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked: "ity? Is it the one who was recently drafted?"

Damn! This boy’s voice is so naughty, he sounds like her little Momo!

Ji Xingchen pretended to be shocked: "You also know ity?"

Gu Yao nodded wildly, and when talking about her favorite celebrities, she started to ramble: "Of course I know! They are very popular now, especially Qin Mo, who is handsome and has breasts!"

Ji Xingchen: "I also think Qin Mo is handsome."

Gu Yao reiterated: "No, he is handsome and has a lot of breasts!"

Ji Xingchen nodded, with a look of regret on his face: "I have something to do next week, so I don't have the chance to go."

Gu Yao opened her mouth several times, wanting to express the idea that you won't go but I can go, but she couldn't lose face, so she could only insinuate and say: "Look, it's not convenient for you to go, but maybe it's convenient for others to go?"

Nowadays, the ity boy band is booming, and it is hard to get tickets for the concert. She asked her friends to help her get tickets internally, but she didn't get them. She didn't expect Ji Xingchen to know Qin Mo from ity.

Ji Xingchen held his chin, "Yes, you can give it to others, but to whom should I give it?"

Gu Yao was lying on the steps with both hands, her eyes filled with the words "give me, give me, give me!"

After bothering Gu Yao for a while, Ji Xingchen finally spoke condescendingly: "Miss Gu, do you want to go?"

Gu Yao blinked with a pair of deer eyes: "If Miss Ji really can't give this ticket away, you can give it to me."

Qi Yue turned her head and suppressed a smile. This Gu Yao obviously wanted it so much and still pretended to do it. This was really similar to Ji Xingchen.

Ji Xingchen patted the handrail and said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Qin to courier the tickets to Gu's house tomorrow."
