Crisis #050: This is my boyfriend.
Six million?
When Lin Yuelan revealed that Bai Zixuan's entire fortune amounted to only six million, Xiao Yan, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but frown.
Although Feilong Group is not a top-tier large enterprise, given Bai Zixuan's many years of experience in running the company, his pocket money alone must be more than six million.
Liu Yan was even more surprised. Bai Zixuan had a luxury villa, a top-of-the-line sports car, and money to spend on women. How could he only have six million in assets?
Compared to their surprise, Gu Mingxia was clearly not surprised at all by this result. Bai Zixuan was so calculating and stingy with money. When he first started the company, he put all the villas and cars he bought under his mother's name. He didn't even keep his savings in his own account. All of this was to keep an eye on her!
Gu Mingxia was fully aware of the situation, but she simply chose not to argue with him. Little did she know that her forbearance and sacrifices were taken for granted by Bai Zixuan and the Bai family!
What right or capital does a woman abandoned by the Gu family have to flaunt her power and stand tall in her husband's family? In the past, Gu Mingxia was affectionate, and more importantly, Bai Zixuan's smile, like Gu Mingdong's, had the purest and cleanest appearance.
This is also the biggest reason why Gu Mingxia has always tolerated her. But if we remove all the factors and look at Bai Zixuan as a person, in Liu Yan's words, he is just a scumbag. What's the pity about getting rid of him?
After announcing the results, Bai Zixuan left the courtroom without offering any further comment.
"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, we lost the case!"
After seeing the evidence Jiang Linhai presented, Lin Qingge felt utterly disgusted by Bai Zixuan's behavior, yet she had no choice but to work for him. The feeling was truly nauseating.
"It doesn't matter, just consider it as losing six million in a card game!"
Bai Zixuan wore an indifferent smile and patted Lin Qingge's shoulder to show that he really didn't care. Turning her head, Lin Qingge caught a glimpse of Bai Zixuan's arm on her shoulder, and a look of extreme disgust flashed in her eyes, but it vanished without a trace as she turned her head away.
"Xiaxia, what are you going to do with that scumbag's six million?"
Liu Yan saw that the scumbag was patting Lin Qingge on the shoulder not far away. She was a pretty girl, good-looking, knowledgeable and eloquent. Why did she do nothing but work for Bai Zixuan? She was really blind!
"Donated!"
Gu Mingxia spoke expressionlessly, casually putting on sunglasses as she left the courthouse. But as soon as she looked up, a whole bunch of reporters appeared out of nowhere.
"Ms. Gu, what are your thoughts on only receiving six million in the divorce settlement? Are you feeling resentful?"
"Ms. Gu, will you appeal to Mr. Bai to get more alimony and compensation for your lost youth?"
"Miss Gu, you left the Gu family to marry President Bai, and now that you're divorced, are you disappointed with men and love?"
...
...
One question after another came at her. Gu Mingxia pushed up her sunglasses and felt that she would be letting herself down if she didn't say something today.
Reaching out to pull back Liu Yan, who was about to explode in anger, Gu Mingxia took off her sunglasses and smiled at the reporters.
With just a simple white dress and a bright, radiant smile, Gu Mingxia looked more beautiful than any flower, her smile even more radiant than the sunshine.
"Regarding the divorce, I will only say it once, and I hope that everyone will not ask me about these things again when we meet in the future. Demanding that Mr. Bai leave with nothing in the divorce is simply to prove to everyone that Gu Mingxia is not a promiscuous woman who cheated on her husband. During the duration of our marriage, I absolutely fulfilled the duties of a wife. Marriage requires the maintenance of both people, and I tried my best. I am very sorry that I failed to maintain the marriage well enough to show everyone the happy ending that love should have!"
Gu Mingxia paused here, looked up and saw Xiao Yan waiting for her by the car in the distance, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.
"As for whether I've lost faith in men and love, I can't answer your questions at this stage, but I believe that God will arrange every stage of everyone's journey! As for the six million in assets I received in the divorce, I will donate it all to an orphanage. Thank you."
"Ms. Gu, what would you like to say about your seven years of marriage?"
Liu Yan stepped forward, blocking Gu Mingxia's path, and proudly raised her head as she looked at the group of gossip reporters who were like wolves.
"What's there to say after a divorce? There's only one thing to say: just consider it as sleeping with a free gigolo for seven years. The quality wasn't great, but it was free, and I even made millions when I didn't want to sleep with him anymore!"
Such bold remarks were always in line with Liu Yan's style. She snorted, turned around, put on her sunglasses, got into her car, and sped away.
“Liu Yan is right. Xia Xia, you should think like he does.”
Gu Mingxia smiled and watched Liu Yan's car disappear through the car window before turning around to see Xiao Yan's icy face with a relaxed expression. She leaned back gracefully.
"As you wished, I'm divorced. How about that, are you happy?"
What could be happier than your beloved getting divorced? Xiao Yan wanted to answer, "Of course." But when he met Gu Mingxia's teasing gaze, he sat up straight and coughed.
"Xiaxia, if you're happy and fulfilled after your marriage, I'll naturally wish you well. But Bai Zixuan... uh, he's not even a piece of trash, he's just a piece of trash! Being with a man like that is an insult, an insult, you understand?"
Xiao Yan's tone was extremely serious. Gu Mingxia smiled and said nothing, leaning back there with a relaxed expression, calculating in her mind how much money she had in her Swiss bank account, whether it was enough for her to buy a villa!
Damn, she pretended to be poor for seven years during her seven-year marriage. Now that she's divorced, she's determined to pick up all the high-class life she lost over the past seven years!
"Come with me to the film studio!"
Xiao Yan didn't give Gu Mingxia time to refuse and drove straight to the film studio.
Upon arriving at the film studio, Xiao Yan easily learned about Zi Xi's situation by asking around.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling too lonely lately and want to find a celebrity to relieve your loneliness?"
Wearing sunglasses, Gu Mingxia flirted with Xiao Yan as she walked, but the aloof god only glanced at her with a sharp look and ignored her, continuing to walk towards the Sixth Factory where Zi Xi was.
"But seriously, Zi Xi and you two are quite a good match. You both have such icy expressions all the time, like the whole world owes you money. Yes, yes, that's the look in your eyes. Sigh, you two seem like a perfect match no matter how you look at it!"
Receiving Xiao Yan's chilling gaze, Gu Mingxia smiled and spoke. Suddenly, Xiao Yan stopped and turned to look intently at his smiling beloved.
"Xiaxia, do you believe I'll...sleep with you right here and now!"
Xiao Yan's words were extremely ambiguous, and Gu Mingxia hugged his shoulders and jumped back a few steps.
"Mr. Xiao, calm down. You need to consider your aloof image, right?"
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to Gu Mingxia and made a clicking sound. Then he continued walking forward.
When they arrived at Studio Six, it happened to be during their break from filming. The entire set was deserted. Xiao Yan and Gu Mingxia looked around, and just when Gu Mingxia thought Xiao Yan would leave, he unexpectedly found a chair and sat down.
"Hey, you don't actually have a crush on Zi Xi, do you?"
Gu Mingxia looked at him ambiguously, and Xiao Yan reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Why are you jealous?"
"Hmph, you talk like you're some kind of treasure, but who cares? Let whoever wants to have their eye on you go!"
Gu Mingxia pouted and said nonchalantly, but a tiny bit of disappointment welled up in her heart, really just a tiny bit!
"The director at L'Oréal felt that the model in the ads we shot for them didn't fit the product's message, and specifically requested Zixi. So, I came here in person to talk to Zixi and see if there's a possibility of collaboration?"
Xiao Yan calmly stated his purpose in coming to find Zi Xi. Upon hearing this, Gu Mingxia's slightest sense of loss vanished without a trace.
"That *** director Xu Ruixuan? I've seen his profile. Industry reviews of him... well, he's ruthless and incredibly capable. Almost every ad he's in charge of becomes a hit! Zi Xi being chosen by him... she's lucky. She'll be popular for another three years!"
L'Oréal advertisements typically run for three years. If Zixi knows how to seize opportunities, taking on this advertisement would be an excellent choice.
"Hey, show some respect! I'm here to film a TV series, not to sell smiles!"
A cold, impatient voice came from a closed room inside.
"Oh, stop pretending to be innocent! Who do you think you are worth? I'm investing hundreds of millions in this film to promote you, that's your honor!"
Vulgar, and with the narcissism of a nouveau riche, Gu Mingxia frowned involuntarily.
"If you're not satisfied, you can find someone else to play the role, but... please show me some respect and don't lay a hand on me! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The cold voice carried an air of unapproachability, which piqued Gu Mingxia's interest in this celebrity named Zi Xi.
"You think you can take advantage of me? Let me tell you, I invested so much money in your show just so I could sleep with you. Whether you like it or not, I'm going to sleep with you today!"
Soon, a commotion erupted from the room, accompanied by the sound of slaps. Gu Mingxia glanced at Xiao Yan, her meaning clear: she wanted him to intervene.
"I'm telling you, if you don't stop, even if you succeed, I will report you for rape!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stood up, strode over, and kicked open the locked door.
Zi Xi's costume was torn to shreds, barely enough to cover her shame, and a short, fat man with a thick, gleaming gold chain around his neck was about to pounce on her.
"Zi Xi!"
"Why are you so late?" Zi Xi ran over and took Xiao Yan's arm, her gaze icy as she looked at the short, fat man. "This is my boyfriend, Li Jin. I'm going to sue you for attempted rape!"
