Chapter 129 Gua Qiaoran sat down and turned around to look...
Qiao Ran sat down, turned to look at Cao Muan, and spoke very politely.
"Please make me a cup of coffee."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Cao Muan nodded, turned and walked out. Qiao Ran looked at the two people who were sitting opposite him.
"Is your brother here to find you and wants to create a goddess image for me? Don't listen to him. He doesn't understand the entertainment industry at all. If he really does this, I will be ridiculed to death."
Qiao Ran reached out and smoothed his hair, then shook his head helplessly. Yi An's idea was too naive. This circle was the most jealous of others' success. Spending money to build up a personal image was useless. Instead, it would make some people jealous and they would even make up something to smear you.
"My brother's idea is a little simple, but he cares about you." Yi He smiled and said some good things to his brother.
"Humph, he only wants to solve the problem with money. I don't think he cares about me that much. Does he think that if he gives me a good image, your parents will accept me? Even if that's the case, I can't pretend all my life. I just like smoking and drinking, and I can't pretend to be a good wife and mother. If I had known your family was so rich, I wouldn't have flirted with him. Now I'm a little entangled."
Qiao Ran sighed, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to smoke it, but after looking at the two of them, he put the cigarette back.
"Can I be curious, how long have you been together and how did you get together?"
Yi He suddenly realized that Qiao Ran was completely different from what he had imagined. No, it should be said that he was completely different from the type he imagined his brother would like.
He always thought that his brother would marry a gentle and virtuous girl who could help him run the household, or a business partner who would be his equal, but definitely not someone like Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran is a little too carefree and seems like he and his brother are from two different worlds.
"We have been together for more than three years. How did we get together? I can't remember it when you suddenly ask me."
Qiao Ran frowned and recalled carefully. It seemed that she was at a banquet and was accompanied by a wealthy businessman who was pursuing her. Yi Anshanshan arrived late and was particularly dazzling in the crowd. Qiao Ran was immediately attracted to her.
Qiao Ran's life was not going smoothly at that time. The false reputation of a movie queen did not bring her any real benefits. Her work was stagnant, she had no income, and her family kept asking her for money.
At that time, she wanted to marry a wealthy businessman while she was still pretty. Everyone in the circle did that anyway, and the ultimate destination for female stars was to be big bosses, so she just followed the crowd.
With that in mind, Qiao Ran began to contact some wealthy businessmen, hoping to find a stable backer for herself. However, as she contacted more and more people, she felt that she did not seem to love money that much, and it was really unbearable for her to choose those people for money.
The moment she saw Yi An, she suddenly had a new choice. Even if she wanted to find a rich man, she had to find someone she liked. So she left her male companion behind and took the initiative to attack Yi An.
The result is predictable, a complete failure.
At that time, Qiao Ran was at her most stubborn. The more Yi An rejected her, the more she wanted to win him over. They were entangled for more than a year. It was not known whether she was annoyed or really moved, but Yi An's attitude suddenly softened, and the two of them started a love affair, and have been together until now.
These two people who are from completely different worlds are surprisingly harmonious when it comes to love. Yi He is too busy to accompany Qiao Ran, and Qiao Ran is busy with his own things. When he is free, they make plans to have dinner or go shopping together, and their relationship becomes deeper.
Originally the two were in love and doing well, but Yi An suddenly brought up the idea of getting married. Qiao Ran had long forgotten her original dream of marrying into a wealthy family, so she became a little conflicted when the topic of marriage suddenly came up.
After being with Yi An for more than two years, she finally understood clearly what kind of person she had flirted with. To use the words in the novel, he was like the crown prince of City A.
When it comes to marriage, the two talked a lot, and this was also the beginning of their conflict.
"Your brother has to package me up to be respectable, but deep down he feels that I am not worthy of him. I have been thinking a lot recently. Love and marriage are different after all. I don't want to be a trapped beast in a wealthy family and be a well-behaved wife of a wealthy family. If that happens, I will not be myself anymore."
Qiao Ran took the coffee handed to him by Cao Muan and took a sip.
"Your brother is old, but he still despises me. I haven't despised him. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. No, I have to find him again. You guys wait for my news. If it works, write to me that Qiao Ran got married into a wealthy family as she wished, and the wedding of the century made others envious. If we break up, write about Qiao Ran's dream of marrying into a wealthy family being shattered and Qiao Ran getting drunk late at night. No matter what, it should be on the hot search for at least half a month, otherwise all these years of my life will have been wasted."
Qiao Ran was about to stand up as he spoke. Yi He felt something was wrong when he heard this. It felt like he was about to break up with his brother, so he quickly stood up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, calm down. How could my brother dislike you? He just has low emotional intelligence and can't speak. He is still a very nice person. Let's have a good chat. I will definitely stand on your side."
His brother is getting old already, and he finally finds someone he wants to marry, so he can't let it go.
"Thank you. Don't worry. I want to talk to him seriously. If he treats me like a little pet and wants to arrange my life casually, then there is no need for me to continue to be entangled with him. Although I went to him with the idea of finding a rich man at the beginning, I found that there are too many things more important than money. When two people are together, the most important thing is respect. If he can't respect my ideas, then I'd better live alone."
Qiao Ran looked at Yi He and smiled. Yi He was probably about the same age as her and should be able to understand her thoughts.
Qiao Ran sometimes tried to convince herself that she just wanted to marry a rich man. At least she liked Yi An, so she should be patient when she should. But she just couldn't do it. She couldn't be obedient and play the role of a good wife and mother to gain the approval of his family and have the possibility of marriage.
I knew what kind of person she was when we were together, but how could I suddenly ask her to become another person?
Yi He opened his mouth but could not utter a word. He had no right to say anything. Matters of the heart were complicated.
"Waiting for your news, I will definitely help you stay on the hot search list."
Xu Qingye said it lightly, and Qiao Ran nodded at him.
"I hope that the next time we meet, it will be good news. I have a new movie coming out, and I'll treat you to a movie then."
Qiao Ran waved and left, and Yi He frowned as he looked at her back.
"Why are you standing there? Call your brother. If you don't call, their trip would have been in vain." Xu Qingye pushed Yi He, and Yi He looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Fool. Do you really think she came to you to chat? Her meaning is very clear. If you don't get married, you'll break up. But the premise of marriage is to maintain her own identity. She wants to continue living her current life instead of becoming a little bird trapped in a wealthy family, so your brother needs to make a choice. She came to you just to ask you to convey her thoughts to your brother and test your brother's attitude. It must be difficult to be yourself in your family. She is betting on whether your brother's love is deep enough and whether he can fight against the family for her, but she is very unconfident, so she came to you. Her purpose of coming to you is similar to your brother's, both want to convince the other party and make the other party accept their lifestyle."
"Is it so complicated? Why don't I understand what you mean at all?"
Yi He scratched his head, wondering how he really got involved.
"Are you really a rich young master? How come you don't have any ulterior motives at all?"
Xu Qingye glanced at Yi He with disdain. Yi He was indeed a young man who was ignorant of the ways of the world and was brought up to be innocent.
"Got it. I'll make the call now."
Yi He walked out of the office, found an empty corner and started calling his brother. He told him what happened today, but the other party just replied coldly, "I know," and hung up.
Yi He listened to the busy tone on the phone and put away his phone in silence. What did all these people think of him?
A few days after Qiao Ran left, she posted a photo on Weibo showing her love for her husband and wife. In the photo, she was wearing a huge diamond ring on her hand and nestled in the man's arms. The man only showed a little bit of his side face, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his handsome features could be seen from his clear jawline. Qiao Ran had a bright smile on her face, and she looked completely immersed in happiness. No one would know that the two of them had quarreled to the point of almost breaking up not long ago.
Qiao Ran: I’m married, congratulations!
Xu Qingye had just given Qiao Ran a thumbs up when he received a message from Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran: I’ll leave the trending searches to you, and you must come to the wedding.
Xu Qingye had just replied with a congratulations when a message popped up on Weibo. He clicked on it to take a look, and the smile on his face instantly faded.
