Chapter 40 Unwilling to Admit
Jiang Rao was distracted for a moment, then stood up again and politely thanked him, "Thank you."
The two people, who had obviously slept together twice, were now pretending to be righteous. One was polite and courteous, while the other responded with a faint smile.
But this superficial peace did not last for a few seconds.
Qi Ze smiled, "When I first came here, everyone in the courtyard was discussing your great achievements."
What "great achievement" was nothing more than saying that she smashed Su Qing'er's head with a hammer.
"Well, it's not a great achievement. I'm just spoiled by the favor I've received."
Jiang Rao told the truth.
"Qi Chen settled it?" Qi Ze sneered, staring at her intently for a few seconds, "You're quite capable. You just hooked up with me, and now you're hooking up with Qi Chen."
Jiang Rao wanted to explain, but Qi Ze walked away, a flash of disgust across his brows, "I hate fickle women the most. You've crossed the line."
"Hey--" Jiang Rao was about to explain, but Qi Ze didn't give him a chance. Jiang Rao was limping on one leg and couldn't catch up. He could only look at his back and sigh.
Jiang Rao didn't understand why Qi Ze's attitude suddenly changed. Qi Ze clearly knew about her interaction with Qi Chen on Jian Tang's birthday party, but he didn't say anything. Why was he so ruthless now?
Jiang Rao couldn't let him really dump her, so when Qi Ze came out, Jiang Rao squatted at the end of the corridor waiting for him.
Seeing Jiang Rao, Qi Ze raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Rao stood up in a hurry, but she stood up too quickly and lost her balance.
Qi Ze didn't even stretch out his hand to help, and Jiang Rao managed to stand steady by holding on to the wall. Although she had a smile on her face, she had cursed Qi Ze a thousand times in her heart.
"Is there something?" Qi Ze asked.
He asked even though he knew the answer.
Jiang Rao held the wall with one hand, and opened her red lips slightly, "If everything is fine, I can't wait for you."
Qi Ze got up and walked away.
Jiang Rao:..........bastard.
She quickly grabbed Qi Ze and said, "Hey, you know that's not what I meant."
"I can't figure out what you mean." Qi Ze looked at his watch with a blank expression, "I'm in a hurry."
What it means is that if she has something to say, she should say it quickly, and if she has to fart, she should fart quickly
"I summoned you just last night, and you came to work today without stopping. Your foot injury prevents you from going on stage. Just use your toes to figure out that you have other intentions."
This 'wine' refers to Qi Chen.
Jiang Rao:
Jiang Rao collected her thoughts and said, "Qi Chen and I are not in the relationship you think."
"I just talked to him, and he said you two are in a relationship."
Qi Ze's words made Jiang Rao's face ferocious for a moment, "He lied."
"Even if he didn't lie, you can't use me to get to the top. Perhaps, you can consider changing your target and get close to Qi Chen. Your wish can be realized faster."
Qi Ze sneered and turned away without mercy, completely missing the tenderness, affection and meaningfulness he had shown her yesterday.
It’s not that he didn’t know what Jiang Rao meant, but he felt disappointed when the woman brought Qi Chen into the conversation.
Jiang Rao stared at Qi Ze hatefully for two seconds. When he turned around, Qi Chen was leaning against the door sill, standing behind him. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Jiang Rao was filled with hatred at this moment. She met Qi Chen's eyes and sneered at him, "Eavesdropping behind my back, what a mean man."
Qi Chen smiled and didn't bother with her, "Dumped Qi Ze?"
Jiang Rao knew what he meant by this. It was obvious that he had seen the whole story between her and Qi Ze.
"On the contrary, your good brother dumped me."
Jiang Rao added with a forced smile, "Even so, I can't be with you. Just give up."
Jiang Rao took two steps with a limp.
Qi Chen's voice came from behind. He didn't appear to be his usual gentle and good-tempered self. He finally bared his fangs at this moment, "Miss Jiang, I don't really need you. I just think you're interesting, so I'm teasing you."
Jiang Rao's back stiffened, and Qi Chen continued, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Jiang Rao had never been so angry before. It seemed that she always lacked patience with Qi Chen. Jiang Rao said with a stern face, "Director Qi, don't forget that you are not my only option. Qi Ze is a scumbag, but he is clearly a scumbag. As for you..."
Jiang Rao raised her eyes frivolously, her eyes full of disdain, "Playing dirty tricks behind people's backs is not what a gentleman does."
Jiang Rao was extremely sarcastic. She used to be the daughter of the Jiang family. She had her dignity even when she was down and out. She never bowed her head in front of Qi Ze. In front of Qi Chen, she could endure for a while, but it was not her character to endure all the time.
Qi Chen was surprised. He used to think Jiang Rao was smooth, experienced, and good at using others' strengths to his advantage. But now... this sharp-tongued Jiang Rao, he wanted to overturn his previous perception.
Qi Chen stroked his chin and looked at Jiang Rao. The cheongsam made her look like a beautiful woman living a peaceful life. But when the beauty opened her mouth, the beauty was ruined, like a pungent chili pepper.
Qi Chen: "Do you know how dirty our circle is?"
Jiang Rao looked back and smiled, "I know, you are dirty, Qi Ze is dirty too. And do you know that?"
Jiang Rao's expression was full of mockery. "How many men has your woman Su Qing'er slept with?... When she comes to serve you again, don't you think it's dirty?"
Jiang Rao was mean and said that his lower body was a rotten cucumber.
She added, "What can you do to me? It's just a job. I don't want it anymore."
Jiang Rao is so charming with just a smile that she can bring out all kinds of charms. She does have the capital to be arrogant, but when a woman goes crazy, it will only make men want to break her wings even more.
Qi Chen smiled at Jiang Rao from a distance, "Of course I know, but Miss Jiang, do you know? I saw through Su Qing'er's tricks, but I still let her go. Why?"
Jiang Rao raised her head slightly, but didn't say anything.
Qi Chen cleared up her confusion, "I spend a little money, and she wags her tail and begs for mercy. I like to see her act like a lapdog. To some extent, it's a win-win situation for both parties."
Qi Chen said this coldly and ruthlessly, then asked playfully, "Do you think you are the same way towards Qi Ze?"
Jiang Rao's face turned pale.
Qi Chen had no intention of probing her further, and ended the conversation with a meaningful sentence, "Ms. Jiang, have a good rest at home."
"I will, thank you for your connection." Jiang Rao was really angry and spoke with gritted teeth.
Qi Chen's meaning clearly meant that she could no longer keep her job and should take a few more days off.
Jiang Rao walked slowly dragging her crippled leg. The sun was strong and she felt hot. She loosened the buttons on the neck of her cheongsam, revealing her fair and delicate skin.
Jiang Rao stroked her neck and felt a thin layer of sweat.
This move was ultimately a wrong one.
No one came to see Jiang Rao off when she left the theater.
But when she packed up her things and went out, Ma Qian stood by and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Jiang Rao didn't know whether his colleagues in the theater had heard the rumors, but that was the fact: if you flatter the powerful and praise the weak, people will forget you.
Jiang Rao doesn't have much stuff here, just a set of cosmetics and two sets of casual clothes.
She didn't want the cosmetics. When she was about to leave, Ma Qian called her, "Jiang Rao, you left behind a set of cosmetics."
Jiang Rao lowered her head. Ma Qian held a cosmetic bag in her hand. When Jiang Rao looked at her, Ma Qian's hand shrank.
"This is for you." Jiang Rao said calmly.
Ma Qian immediately held the makeup bag in her hands, her eyes filled with joy, "Thank you."
Jiang Rao waved her hand. She spent a little money but could become her God. She still had use for Ma Qian.
She felt that she was despicable, but she actually understood what Qi Chen meant.
But in essence, she is the same as him.
It's just that she doesn't want to admit it.
