Chapter 110 Eleven Billion "He was jealous and crazy"

Not long after the Jiyue Band concert ended, the trending searches on Weibo were all about Ling Yao:

#Ling invited to charter a plane back to Dongcheng overnight#

#LingYao's schedule remains a mystery#

#Ling Yao's whereabouts are unknown#

#Jiyue band teammates provide cover#

…

[Holy crap, is Ling Yao crazy? Why charter a plane back home? Life is getting better now, and yet he's so willful.]

So the last segment added to the concert, which only included other members of the Jiyue band, was intended to get Ling Yao to leave first?

"Then why would he go back? There's no urgent schedule in Dongcheng after that."

[Wait a minute... Ling Yao isn't in love, is he?!]

[Don't talk nonsense upstairs. Can't you see Ling Yao's career ambition? Besides, even if they were in a relationship, I would only accept him and Sister Li, the leader of a popular band and his financial backer. Just thinking about it makes me happy!]

I agree! I also want to see Ling Yao and Sister Li, hahahaha. Mainly, I'm curious about what Sister Li looks like. No one has dug up her photos in such a long time, I'm so jealous!

…

On the other side, Chenhong No. 6.

Not long after Jingyun and Xu Zhanyan left, Xin Jingli's yawns echoed in the living room, which seemed empty with the bright light from the ceiling.

The phone vibrated. It was a message from Tan Jingfan.

There's a charity dinner in Dongcheng in two days, hosted by the Tan family. All the prominent families in Dongcheng with a history of donations will be sending representatives to attend. Are you interested?

[One more thing. I've investigated the Zhang family's recent movements. While they haven't actually done anything to you, judging by their manpower deployment, they seem to be deliberately keeping an eye on you.]

After spending a whole day looking at the company's accounting documents and listening to Xi Jiyu and Xi Yahe's work reports, and having to pretend not to know when they were fighting openly and secretly, Xin Jingli rubbed his temples and blinked to drive away the fatigue.

[Well, just come pick me up when the time comes.]

Tan Jingfan: [Okay, I've arranged comprehensive security for the banquet. However, it would be best if Jin Jingfang stayed with you that day, just in case.]

The eight of them were still terrified by what happened to Zhang Shidao last time. Faced with Xin Jingli's safety issue, although they were extremely reluctant, they still chose to cooperate with each other to protect her.

Xin Jingli seemed to be thinking about something, then tapped the side of his phone and replied, "Okay."

On the phone, Tan Jingfan's name was restored to a note, then changed to "input in progress", and it kept flashing for a long time, but still no message was sent.

Xin Jingli snorted softly as he watched, and just waited.

After a while, a message finally came from the other side.

Tan Jingfan: [Long time no see, how have you been lately? ]

It seemed as if Tan Jingfan was right in front of him. Xin Jingli could imagine his shy look in his mind, with his head lowered and the beads tightly clenched in his left hand.

He used to look like the mature and steady young master of the Tan family, but when he talked to her about love, he looked like a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love.

[Very good, everything is going well.] Xin Jingli replied.

Buzz-

When the WeChat video started playing, Xin Jingli raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his beautiful eyes.

Tan Jingfan actually took the initiative to call via video.

Xin Jingli pressed the answer button.

On the screen, Tan Jingfan was still wearing a black new Chinese style suit, with finely crafted bamboo embroidered on his shoulders, just as tall and handsome as he was.

The background opposite was antique wooden furniture, and Xin Jingli seemed to be able to smell the sandalwood scent coming from his side.

Under the light, Tan Jingfan had fair skin, strong facial features, and unusually gentle black and white pupils. The strong contrast burst out of the screen, and Xin Jingli couldn't help but curl his lips.

Sure enough, sexiness can relieve fatigue.

"What's wrong?" She asked softly with a nasal tone unconsciously.

Perhaps because he felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, Tan Jingfan's pupils swayed, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.

"Suddenly I miss you a little bit."

It was his first time saying sweet words and he was not very skilled. As soon as he finished speaking, under the bright light, Tan Jingfan's ears immediately turned red and translucent.

The shy tone, coupled with the low voice, hit Xin Jingli's eardrums, making them tingle and numb.

She actually felt it was a pity. It would be great if Tan Jingfan was around. It had been so long since they last saw each other that she actually missed him a little.

Oh, by the way, there is Ling Yao as well. I haven’t seen Ling Yao for a long time. She has exiled these two to a “very far” corner to carry out missions.

Tan Jingfan and Ling Yao must have known what happened around her during this period, as the eight of them often kept in touch with each other.

I didn't expect that after binding them to be bootlickers, they would be so obedient. Even without her orders, they were still working hard on the tasks at hand.

Although he is a bootlicker, no one works without eating.

Xin Jingli tapped the screen with his finger, half-closed his eyes, and jokingly said, "Aren't we meeting in a couple of days? Then we can dance together. If it's convenient, I'll treat Mr. Tan to dinner. Of course, if Mr. Tan is too busy, then forget it."

Tan Jingfan put his fist in front of his mouth to hide his embarrassed laughter, and immediately continued, "Of course I have time, but Miss Xin, you don't need to worry about dinner. Just show up and I'll arrange everything."

After saying that, the two of them smiled and looked at each other across the screen. If you didn't know, you would think they were long-distance lovers.

"Sister Xin."

This atmosphere didn't last long. The man's long-awaited shout of reunion came from the door, echoing in the living room and shattering Tan Jingfan's smiling face on the screen.

Tan Jingfan's mouth froze, his brows furrowed in deep emotion as he whispered in disbelief, "Is that... Ling Yao looking for you?"

Xin Jingli pretended not to notice Tan Jingfan's abnormality, looked up at Ling Yao and smiled, then asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

He lowered his head again and said to Tan Jingfan as if introducing a friend: "Yes, Ling invited me here."

Tan Jingfan's eyes darkened instantly.

Ling Yao, who walked in from the door, heard Tan Jingfan's voice and guessed that Tan Jingfan must be very unhappy now.

He walked up to Xin Jingli and deliberately raised his voice and said, "I missed you so much that I chose to come here without permission. You won't be angry, right?"

During this period, Ling Yao has been running around outside, but he has endured all the sharing about Xin Jingli in the group, and the men secretly competing with each other, saying who had dinner with her tonight, she touched him again, etc. He endured countless boasting words one by one.

Now that the concert is over, the Jiyue Band needs to take a break for a while, which is a good opportunity for him to come back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I caught Tan Jingfan chatting with Xin Jingli.

Listening to the low, restrained, and resentful breathing of a man coming from the screen, Ling Yao unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.

"Sister Xin, you seem to have lost weight again. What's wrong? Haven't they taken good care of you during this period?" Ling Yao deliberately stretched out his hand. In the picture, he gently tidied up the loose hair around Xin Jingli's ears, and asked with concern.

Xin Jingli shook his head. "It's okay. The company is just busy. Have you eaten yet? Jingyun has gone home, and there's no one to get us food now."

Hearing Xin Jingli's words, Tan Jingfan on the other end of the video grabbed his phone, his knuckles turning white.

On the screen, she raised her head slightly, half-closed her eyes and looked at Ling Yao. Her pretty profile fell into Tan Jingfan's eyes. The scene was more cruel than killing him.

He could see that Xin Jingli was not opposed to Ling Yao's sudden appearance, and perhaps, she was not opposed to Ling Yao staying there tonight.

The eight people had an agreement before that before she made a choice, they would not mention feelings, force her to choose, or make things difficult for her. In the end, the winner would depend on their own abilities.

And now, even though Tan Jingfan was in heartache and unwilling to do so, he still said to Xin Jingli politely, "It's too late. Let's rest first. See you in two days."

After hanging up the video, in the study room filled with the scent of sandalwood, the owner of the study room felt strongly unhappy for the first time.

Tan Jingfan rubbed his solar plexus with one hand and twisted the beads with the other, silently chanting the Heart Clearing Mantra in his heart, trying to calm himself down.

But the more he read, the faster he spoke, and the faster the beads in his hand moved.

The faster the beads in his hand turned, the faster his speech became.

Finally, with a snap, the innocent beads were thrown into the corner by the man, scattered all over the ground, and rolled around with a crackling sound.

He had no grudge against Ling Yao, at least apart from being a love rival, they had never fought head-on.

And just now, Ling Yao was clearly provoking him, deliberately speaking such flirtatious words in front of him.

If he doesn't avenge this, he won't be called Tan.

Tan Jingfan picked up his phone and told the group of seven people who were not invited by Ling about what happened tonight.

Siah: [So Ling Yao's purpose in coming back this time is to piss us off, right?]

Xu Zhanyan: [Yes, he did it on purpose. In the chat logs, he hired his own paparazzi and reported his whereabouts himself, intentionally diverting public opinion towards him and his sister.]

Xu Zhanyan: [He knew I would read his chat history, so he left a message for us.]

Jin Jingfang: [What?]

Xu Zhanyan: [He said that he would not leave this time and asked us to prepare ourselves.]

Qin Qing: [It seems like we really pissed him off. @Xu Zhanyan, didn't you say last time that Ling Yao's personality is the type that will give up if he gets jealous too much?]

Jingyun: [Yeah, we deliberately said so much nonsense in the group, but he didn't seem to give up, and he became even more determined.]

Xi Jiyu: [At this point, we should all be cautious. We were careless tonight. From now on, try to limit Ling Yao's contact with Jing Li. Jing Li is busy every day and doesn't have the time to think about these twists and turns. He can't see through Ling Yao's intentions, so it's understandable to let him stay overnight.]

The group is lively and seems harmonious and working together.

But in another group without Xiayahe, everyone is in a different state:

Xi Jiyu: [I've been able to snatch all of Yahe's contracts recently. Yahe doesn't talk to Jingli very often when she comes to the company, so you can rest assured.]

Xi Jiyu: [Of course, everyone's contributions are indispensable. For example, Young Master Tan, while suppressing the Zhang family, was also able to help keep an eye on Ya He's partners.]

Tan Jingfan: [Mr. Xi, you're too polite. We should have done this anyway.]

Still appearing to be in a friendly manner on the surface.

In another group where Xi Jiyu was not included, everyone sent in screenshots of the chat.

Jingyun: [So, Xi Jiyu took advantage of this opportunity to give himself more opportunities to interact with Jing Li?]

Jin Jingfang: [On the surface, we're focusing all our efforts on dealing with Xi Yahe, but it seems we're also helping Xi Jiyu.]

Siah: [I told you before, my brother is very cunning. I told you not to target me and get him out first, but you still don't believe me.]

Qin Qing: [Sure, from now on, we will suppress Xi Jiyu's cooperation. Young Master Xi, are you willing to help?]

Siah: [Of course.]

They were still friendly and seemed like they were discussing something.

However, after these words ended, in the group without Xi Jiyu and Xi Yahe, another discussion began:

Xu Zhanyan: [Xi Jiyu and Xi Yahe are now at loggerheads. Xi Yahe was severely suppressed before, so he must be very angry now.]

Jin Jingfang: [That's right. Next, we have to help Xi Yahe suppress Xi Jiyu and stir up Xi Jiyu's anger.]

Tan Jingfan: [Well, wait until both sides are angry, then slowly let them regain their power to compete with each other. That way, when Jingli goes to the company, the two of them will quarrel in front of her and lose their dignity, and Jingli will naturally hate them.]

Several people reached an agreement and cheated both sides.

Here, after the discussion was over, Tan Jingfan's anger subsided a lot.

Just as he was about to get up, Ling Yao sent him a message: [Have you ever lived in Chenhong No. 6? ]

Tan Jingfan's anger suddenly soared.

He looked at the line of words, his eyes becoming increasingly darker, as if he wanted to devour the person opposite him whole.

Originally, he just wanted to find a chance to annoy Ling Yao and get his revenge, but now it seems that he is too much of a hindrance and he has to make him disappear completely.

Thinking of something, Tan Jingfan snorted lightly, suppressed his anger, and opened Xin Jingli's WeChat.

[I want Ling Yao to sing a song at the charity dinner in two days. Is that okay?]

After Xin Jingli replied "Yes", Tan Jingfan exited the chat page and clicked on the contact information of the person in charge of the cocktail party that day.

"On that day, no one was allowed to enter any of the rooms on the top floor without my permission."
