Chapter 51
"Stop pretending." Qiao Yujing looked at him for a while, then turned and took a half step back, keeping some distance from him. "You haven't thought about canceling the marriage, have you, Fang Zhuiqi? You may not know that I know you better than you think."
He analyzed: "You deliberately promised me to appease me. When I agreed to you, you would still arrange a marriage. How would you convince me then? You would lower my bottom line step by step and keep testing me?"
"Or keep me in the dark. How long do you think you can deceive me? A month? A year? Or even longer... Or do you have the confidence to keep it a secret from me forever?"
"You didn't expect that I would actually leave you, because you are used to my existence, used to my being there whenever you call, used to me not rejecting you. This is not love, but your unwillingness to give up."
Chi Qi in the bushes was angered by the same feeling.
[Ahhh, this is so infuriating. Qiao Yujing, why don’t you slap him in the face, just for my sake. 】
Qiao Yujing watched the color on Fang Zhuiqi's face fade away bit by bit, "I've wanted to say this for a long time, Fang Zhuiqi, you are really childish."
Childish is already a relatively euphemistic word. In fact, what Fang Zhuiqi did was much more excessive.
It was at this moment that Qiao Yujing finally understood that parting ways in peace was just his own luxury. Their beginning was not glorious, and their ending would naturally not be decent either.
In this relationship of support, I will never have and will never have the initiative from the beginning to the end.
A feeling of exhaustion surged in his heart, and he looked a little haggard.
Fang Zhuiqi opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he couldn't start because what he said was all true. He suddenly felt like a failure. "Things are not what you think. Listen to me."
Qiao Yujing didn't want to hear his explanation, but he also knew that the other party would not let him leave easily, "You talk, I listen."
"I don't want to marry her." Fang Zhuiqi carefully observed Qiao Yujing's expression, repeating over and over again that he had no choice. "I have no choice. I have mentioned it to my family, but I really can't cancel it..."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I'm married or not. I won't touch her, and I don't like her at all. She's just a name." He swallowed, "I really miss you. I've dreamed about you many times."
The Qiao Yujing in the dream would smile at him and look at him tenderly with eyes full of love, which was completely different from the cold Qiao Yujing standing in front of him now.
Fang Zhuiqi felt wronged when he thought of this. He made excuses all over the place, "I know that you didn't want to embarrass me in the past, and you accommodated me a lot, even changing your eating habits."
"Just bear with it for me. You should be used to it after all these years... After a few years, when I get the shares, I will divorce her. I will do what I promised you. Do you believe me?"
Are you used to it anyway?
...Even if you are a straight-forward person, you can't just use your mouth to do it.
Chi Sulu whispered, "What kind of bandit logic is this? I'm about to have a myocardial infarction."
In the final analysis, Qiao Yujing still has to make concessions. Not only that, but he has to make concessions willingly.
Chi Qi was also very angry, "I think people like Fang Zhuiqi will only behave themselves if they are hung on the wall."
Qiao Yujing knew that Fang Zhuiqi was a bad person. When he agreed to be with him, he was prepared to be stabbed and covered in blood. After experiencing all these things, he thought he would not care, but when he heard these bad words with his own ears, he was still deeply hurt and felt sad.
Because he is not stone, he also has a heart.
Qiao Yujing clenched his fists. For the first time, he lost his patience and, following his innermost thoughts, he slammed Fang Zhuiqi's face hard, venting his pent-up anger.
There was a dull sound when the fist hit the flesh.
"Wow!" Chi Qi was so excited that he even wanted to help. "He hit me, he really hit me!"
Fang Zhuiqi's cheek felt a burning pain after being punched for no reason. He stood there for a while in a gloomy mood, unable to control his anger. When he raised his hand in the air and was about to let it fall, he was stunned.
Qiao Yujing looked at him with hatred, his eyes full of indifference and callousness, as if he was looking at someone he hated extremely.
It shouldn't be this kind of look, and it can't be this kind of look.
How can that be? How could he see himself like that?
Fang Zhuiqi was deeply hurt. He was inexplicably flustered and wanted to keep her.
However, it was too late. Qiao Yujing was determined to leave. He first walked quickly, then ran, leaving only a determined back.
Good run, great run!
Chi Qi rubbed his hands excitedly.
【finally! The stupid wife-abusing plot is finally over! See you next time at the crematorium! 】
[I declare that from now on! Fang Zhuiqi was sentenced to lifelong loneliness by love! 】
*
After Fang Zhuiqi left, Chi Qi stood up. His legs were numb from squatting for so long. He shook off the leaves on his clothes and asked, "Sister, do you still want to eat?"
This bite of melon already made him feel full.
Thinking of the purpose of bringing Chi Qi out, Chi Sulu said firmly: "Since we are here, we must eat."
She was determined to make her stupid brother understand that there were many handsome men with two legs and he should not be easily fascinated by the "wild man" at home.
Although they were delayed a bit, the two arrived early and the dinner had not yet started. After entering, their outstanding appearance attracted the attention of others.
Chi Sulu was very familiar with this kind of occasion and greeted with a smile several artists she had worked with.
Chi Qi was more confused, because he didn't know anyone around him and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he could only eat. He looked at the super big round table in front of him and asked, "Sister, which table should I sit at?"
[A wise man does not fall in love, and does not follow martial ethics when eating. I just want to eat, eat, eat, eat! 】
“…”
Chi Sulu thought for a moment and pointed to the innermost table, "You go and stay there."
There are young people at that table, and they have a lot of common topics to talk about. They might even fall in love with each other.
"Okay." Chi Qi walked over obediently.
He quickly arrived at the designated table, but was at a loss as to which seat to sit. When he turned around to ask his sister, he couldn't see anyone.
Um? Where are the people?
He stood too conspicuously and several people looked up at him. Feeling a little uncomfortable, Chi Qi found an empty seat and sat down.
As soon as his buttocks touched the bench, all eyes at the round table gathered on him. He also heard a slight inhalation from the opposite side, as if someone was very surprised.
Chi Qi froze for a moment, but didn't know what went wrong.
What's wrong? Can't I sit and eat at this location?
The young actor opposite me kindly reminded me, "The seat you're sitting in is the main seat. People who are not famous enough will be scolded if they sit there."
The entertainment industry attaches great importance to seniority, and there are strict rules for standing in front and behind. Whenever someone appears on stage, they have to compete for a high ranking.
Chi Qi has seen many commentaries from marketing accounts, and fans have posted videos of tearing up the crew because they were dissatisfied with the main character's ranking.
This is an unwritten rule in the circle.
Chi Qi didn't care where he sat. He wouldn't choose one specifically, as long as he could sit anywhere. But since someone had kindly told him so, he might as well follow the rules.
He was about to stand up and say that he would just change his seat, but unexpectedly a sarcastic voice sounded, "Young man, it is better to be down-to-earth. Don't think about evil ways all day long and corrupt the atmosphere in the circle."
A middle-aged man walked slowly towards them. He was about forty years old, thin and of medium build. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had an expressionless face, and was dressed very formally.
Someone smiled and flattered, "Senior Sun is right. Young people nowadays are too impetuous and always want to take shortcuts. There are too few excellent actors like you who work step by step, have a good reputation, good acting skills and are dedicated to your work."
"Let me warn you all." Sun Yuhang spoke in a tone, scanning the entire audience, "In everything, you should think about whether you are worthy of it. Don't deceive yourself, try to cover up your mistakes, and make a huge joke."
Who is this person? Why does he like people so much as his father?
The targeting was too obvious. Even if Chi Qi was slow, he knew that the person was talking about him. He never had a good face towards rude people, so he confronted him head-on, "Life is boring, hama comment on humans."
Sun Yuhang was shocked, "What did you say!?"
Chi Qi continued to scold, "Of course the dog can't understand human language."
Sun Yuhang glared at him, "Say it again? Do you know who I am?"
Chi Qi really didn't know, he raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
He starts nagging right from the start, claiming that love is who it is. It's so annoying.
Sun Yuhang raised his voice, "You don't know me?"
His tone was too inexplicable, as if it was a rare thing not to know who he was.
Chi Qi was puzzled. "You are such a strange person. Not only do you not understand what people say, but you also have no self-awareness. Are you RMB? Why should I know you?"
Sun Yuhang covered his chest in anger. Ever since he became famous, people in the circle have always been respectful to him. How could such a blind person come out to make him angry one after another?
Someone else came out to say something polite, "Senior Sun, calm down and don't bother with the juniors."
The man also winked at Chi Qi, wanting him to apologize quickly and put the matter behind him.
The young man who had reminded him before also spoke up, and tactfully reminded him, "Senior Sun's mind is smaller than the eye of a needle. You'd better lower your head, or he will make things difficult for you."
Celebrities generally have a set persona. On the surface, they appear to be innocent big boys with a good family background and strict family traditions, but behind the scenes, they actually smoke and drink, are disrespectful to the staff they work with, and roll their eyes at the reporters who interview them. These are all common things.
Sun Yuhang is such a person. Relying on his age, he likes to put on airs, especially now that he has gained some popularity. He acts like a big shot in private. However, he manages his image well. Even if he has no emotional intelligence and offends others, his fans will only praise him for being honest.
Others are willing to praise him, but Chi Qi won’t. If you mess with me, you’ll be hitting a wall!
He has no plans to make his acting debut, so Sun Yuhang cannot threaten him. More importantly, he has a backer, so he is not afraid at all.
In short, just fight hard and it’s done!
Seeing the boy in front of him was silent, Sun Yuhang thought he was scared and leaned back in his chair, "I won't make things difficult for you, lest rumors spread and make others think that I'm bullying the younger generation."
He glanced around and exerted pressure secretly, which was also a warning to those present.
Sun Yuhang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bone, and shook the food to the ground as if he had Parkinson's disease. He said arrogantly: "Pick up this bone and eat it clean, and I won't bother with you."
It's clearly an insult.
"Okay." Chi Qi stepped forward and said slowly, "You want me to eat it all?"
He picked up the dish and quickly put it on Sun Yuhang's head with his backhand, "I admit that you are a capable person."
The onlookers gasped in surprise, what a brave man!
The soup poured all over Sun Yuhang's head, dripping down his hair onto the ground. He was furious, his face darker than the bottom of the pot, "You're done, just wait to be banned."
He promised that the young man would regret his rudeness today!
Chi Qi followed his heart and said, "I'm so scared."
The movement of his hands did not stop, the plate of food was still on Sun Yuhang's head, rubbing back and forth continuously until all the sauce on the plate was wiped off.
Just as Jian Zhang was about to show off his power, an inappropriate and enthusiastic greeting came.
"Mr. Fu, you're here? Please come in."
Fu Chenglin strode over and saw the scene inside the house clearly. He was shocked, "Are you so excited that you used your head to grab the food?"
“…”
Sun Yuhang gritted his teeth and said, "Look carefully, someone put a plate of food on my head."
Fu Chenglin said exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, such a big thing has happened. Does the United Nations know about it?"
“…”
Seeing Sun Yuhang being humiliated, Fu Chenglin was delighted and did not mind stirring up trouble. "Excuse me, I know this person."
Sun Yuhang's expression changed slightly, "Do you know him?"
Fu Chenglin winked at Chi Qi quietly, "Yes, he is my half-brother. I apologize to you. For my sake, punish him by not letting him eat a second bite of his favorite dish."
Everyone pondered for a few seconds and understood what he meant. He was going to take sides.
Sun Yuhang is a snob who knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. He previously thought that Chi Qi was a newcomer who had just entered the circle and bullied him without any psychological burden. Now that he learned that Chi Qi knew the movie emperor, a new competition began to arise in his heart.
After some hesitation, he chose to swallow his anger temporarily and left the table with a grim face.
The remaining people looked at each other, and then very tactfully made way for an empty seat.
Fu Chenglin pressed Chi Qi's shoulders and asked him to sit down, and then he sat next to him, "Aren't you going to thank me?"
Fu Chenglin is the younger brother of Chi Qi's brother-in-law Fu Boci, and is also a popular movie star. The two had met several times before and quickly became good friends because of their common interests and hobbies (like-minded people).
"Thank you." Meeting an acquaintance, Chi Qi felt safe. He asked, "Brother Chenglin, who is that Wei Daxun?"
"Um?"
"I just gave him a nickname. It smells like sauce. It's so strong and suffocating."
“…”
You are such a genius at giving nicknames.
"Sun Yuhang, he loves to take advantage of his age." Fu Chenglin said meaningfully, his lips curled, "Guess why he's sitting at this table?"
Chi Qi shook his head. It couldn't be that the food on this table tasted better?
Fu Chenglin explained, "Because actors of his age all have big male lead dramas, if he sits at that table, he can only be a foil, so he tries to feel superior among young people."
Oh, how shameless.
Chi Qi went to Baidu to search for Sun Yuhang and took a rough look at his life experience. When he was young, he played the role of a domineering boss and was unknown because his acting skills and appearance were not outstanding. When he got older, he was still playing the role of a domineering boss. Somehow he got lucky and became a favorite among uncles. With the addition of filters, he became a veteran actor with both moral integrity and artistic talent.
He doesn't understand, an actor's acting skills are not like age spots that will appear as he gets older, so how did fans turn criticism of his acting skills into full of praise?
Without the annoying people around, Chi Qi started eating happily. He put down his chopsticks only when he felt full. Seeing the man with superior bone structure sitting next to him, he suddenly had an idea and hooked his finger, "Come here, I'll lend you my shoulder to lean on, and take a picture."
