Chapter 21 Why break up

Screenwriter?

Zhu Wendong had not thought about this aspect. She started writing because she often couldn't sleep all night, so she found something to do. Later, when she became famous, it was another matter.

However, Zhu Wendong is not very interested in turning writing into a career.

The desire to obtain the adaptation rights for "Xue Yanqi's Secret Love" was entirely due to my obsession with the book, but it disappeared after I learned a certain answer.

Zhu Wendong reached out and shook her hand, then released it at the same time three seconds later: "Writing is just my hobby. I don't have much interest in it at the moment. Thank you."

Sister Tan didn't feel embarrassed after being rejected. She chatted calmly for a few more words, then told Qiao Shizhu some things and left.

Qiao Shizhu's break is over and it's her turn.

Originally, she wanted Zhu Wendong to wait for her in the RV, but she was afraid that she would be too bored there, so she ended up taking her to the set.

Qiao Shizhu was very serious once she entered the working state. Zhu Wendong sat obediently on a stool beside her and watched quietly.

A voice sounded beside her, directed at her.

"Sister, are you here too?"

Zhu Wendong looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhu Jianyi's pretty face. He didn't wait for her to answer.

Zhu Jianyi pulled a stool over and sat down, then leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Zhu Wendong, what did you mean when you told me at the birthday party that the Zhu family begged you to come back? Who begged you to come back?"

When no one is around, Zhu Jianyi prefers to call her by her name rather than sister.

It was as if recognizing her as his sister was also to maintain the dignity of the Zhu family.

Zhu Wendong put it simply: "Literally."

Knowing he wouldn't get an answer, Zhu Jianyi changed the subject: "Let me ask you again, you really don't know Qi Yanxue?"

Zhu Wendong was not very emotional. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you that I know him, but we're not very familiar with him."

"Bullshit!" Zhu Jianyi was immediately furious. "I've asked others, and you two clearly dated before. Now you tell me you're not close, who would believe me?"

Zhu Wendong grasped the key point: "Who did you ask?"

"Don't worry about who it is," Zhu Jianyi was not so easy to get into, so he pressed her, "When did you and Qi Yanxue start dating? When did you break up? How many years did you date? Who pursued who? Why did you break up?"

“…”

You must have worked in the intelligence agency in your previous life, so you ask a series of questions like this.

Zhu Wendong was stunned by the question. After a moment, he asked calmly, "Who do you like, Qi Yanxue or me?"

Zhu Jianyi glanced at her with disdain and raised his voice, "Of course it's Qi Yanxue! I don't like women!"

Zhu Wendong: "Then you should ask Qi Yanxue about these things, not me."

After being rejected by Qi Yanxue, Zhu Jianyi was too timid to even appear in front of him, let alone ask him about these things. She hesitated and said, "Of course, it's more appropriate to ask you, my ex-girlfriend, about this kind of thing."

Zhu Wendong placed his hands on his knees, his back straight, his long flowing hair draped behind him, and spoke at a moderate pace that was convincing.

"If you're concerned about my identity as his ex-girlfriend, then you don't have to worry about me. We've been apart for five years. If you really want to pursue him, instead of learning about his past, you might as well get to know his present."

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Zhu Jianyi suddenly said, "I understand the reason, so why did you break up?"

Zhu Wendong: “…”

It feels like I'm saying nice things to a fool.

"Ask me about this, and I'll tell you."

Qiao Shizhu finished filming a scene and came over to take a break. She happened to hear these words and raised her chin towards Zhu Jianyi.

Zhu Jianyi looked in the direction of the voice and recognized Qiao Shizhu, a well-known face in the circle. "Qiao Shizhu, you know?"

Qiao Shizhu pulled over a stool, sat in front of her, and asked a riddle: "Guess if I know."

Zhu Jianyi pointed his index finger at her, then at Zhu Wendong: "What's the relationship between you two?"

"I want to know why she broke up with Qi Yanxue. What do you think our relationship is?" Qiao Shizhu crossed her arms and asked her, "Who are you to her?"

"I'm her sister." Zhu Jianyi said reluctantly.

"Oh, you are her spoiled and willful sister."

Zhu Wendong nudged her with his elbow, signaling her to be more restrained.

Qiao Shizhu then said seriously: "Don't you want to know why they broke up? I'll tell you."

Zhu Jianyi was just about to refute the words of arrogance and willfulness, but his attention was instantly attracted by this sentence, and he pretended to listen attentively.

Zhu Wendong didn't take it seriously and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Shizhu stood up straight and said seriously, "Because Qi Yanxue likes men."

Zhu Wendong: “?”

I thought you were just fooling around, but I never thought of your reason.

Zhu Jianyi's face was filled with disbelief, her mouth dropped open wide, and she felt as if her entire worldview had been overturned. After a moment, she stiffly raised her thumb and said, "Zhu Wendong, I respect you as a real man."

Zhu Wendong waved his hand: "No need."

There is really no need to make up things that are not true.

The shock on Zhu Jianyi's face had not yet dissipated when he left. After all, he had liked Qi Yanxue for so many years, and hearing this news suddenly required mental preparation.

After the others walked away, Zhu Wendong tilted his head and looked to the side: "What you said is too fake."

Qiao Shizhu didn't think so. She pointed at the figure in the distance and said, "She's already so scared, and you still say I'm lying."

She sighed twice and said, "Your sister is a little silly."

Zhu Wendong said nothing. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated twice. She opened it and took a look.

It was the news that the money she transferred to Qi Yanxue yesterday was automatically returned.

Qi Yanxue didn't receive it, probably because he was too busy and forgot about it.

Zhu Wendong consciously forwarded it to him again, and fearing that he would forget again this time, he also sent a message.

"This is the money for that night, remember to collect it."

Zhu Wendong typed out these words, but then felt something was amiss. Just as he was about to add the word "suit", there was a loud bang from the crew filming a spy movie in the distance, like an explosion.

She was caught off guard and her hand trembled, causing the phone to fall to the ground. When she recovered and picked it up, she saw that the message had already been sent.

Zhu Wendong quickly tried to press and hold to withdraw, but it showed that more than two minutes had passed.

Damn the withdrawal system.

Zhu Wendong frowned, wanting to excuse himself, and just as he was about to say that he had made a mistake—

As a result, the person who was so busy that he had no time to collect the money for 24 hours replied to the message immediately.

Xue: [Please specify which night]

Xue: [You slept with me so many times, and you only give me one night? ]

Xue: [Is this all I'm worth for one night?]

The phone buzzed three times, as if it were a hot potato.

Zhu Wendong: “…”

Isn't he very busy?
