After finishing the dinner arranged by the local person in charge, Xie Cinian was about to leave with his assistant.
In his early years, Xie Ci Nian had already shifted the Xie family's focus to China.
Although the Xie family's roots are still overseas, Xie Ci Nian has spent more time living in China in recent years.
As Xie Cinian emerged from the private room, he heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
He hadn't heard that voice in ten years.
The first thing Xie Cinian thought when he heard that voice was, "Impossible."
How can someone's voice not have changed after ten years?
Yes, that heartless bastard is probably off somewhere having a good time.
Anyway, Pei Zhi would never wrong herself.
Xie Cinian was simply curious about what this person, whose voice sounded so similar to Pei Zhi's, actually looked like.
He turned around and met Pei Zhi's gaze.
Hu Shih never felt that he was superfluous.
Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi were looking at each other across him.
He stood between Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi, but neither of them seemed to see him.
Xie Cinian stared at Pei Zhi without blinking.
Pei Zhi realized what was happening, forced a smile, and waved to Xie Cinian as a greeting.
Seeing an old flame again can be a little awkward.
Xie Cinian was her ex-husband. They hadn't seen each other for many years, but Xie Cinian was still as glamorous and dazzling as ever, surrounded by admirers.
Pei Zhi felt a little embarrassed that she had fallen so low as to be living off Hu Shi.
It must be said that Hu Shi had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Hu Shi stared intently at Xie Cinian, afraid of missing any of Xie Cinian's emotions.
Xie Cinian didn't approach, but simply nodded to Pei Zhi, then said to the people beside him, "Let's go."
And then, Xie Cinian left.
Hu Shih watched helplessly as Xie Cinian left, and immediately, he stopped smoking.
Hu Shi returned to the private room. "No, Xie Cinian just left like that?"
Pei Zhi picked up a piece of Wagyu beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"Otherwise, what do you think he'll do?"
Hu Shih said incredulously, "I thought that when he saw you, he would be very excited, and then, like me, he would hug you tightly and shed tears."
"Are you alright?" Pei Zhi looked at Hu Shi with a puzzled expression. "Have you been under too much pressure all these years? Has something happened to your brain?"
"Xie Cinian and I are divorced, you know that?"
"Besides, I was the one who dumped him." Pei Zhi pointed to herself. "It was me who dumped him. I was the one who filed for divorce."
"Yes, I cheated on him, twice. The fact that he didn't punish me back then is already a great favor."
"Now, if you see me, just greet me calmly, that's already the best you can do."
Wang, the agent standing next to him, blinked; he felt like he was hallucinating.
No, he shouldn't be here.
What did he hear?
Pei Zhi is actually President Xie's ex-wife?
During her marriage to Xie Cinian, Pei Zhi allegedly cheated on him twice?
And yet, Pei Zhi is still sitting here, lively and energetic, eating barbecue?
Wang Ge's gaze towards Pei Zhi immediately changed; this girl truly had some talent.
Pei Zhi put down her chopsticks, took a sip of juice, and finished eating.
"Alright, I'm going out to wash my hands and have a quick bite. If you want to smoke, you can smoke in the private room."
Hu Shih instructed Pei Zhi, "Don't wander around. Look up when you find a restroom; they all have labels."
Pei Zhi said impatiently, "Alright, I'm not stupid."
She's only been out of touch with the world for ten years, but her intelligence is normal.
Moreover, after ten years away, not much has changed.
As soon as Pei Zhi left, the agent immediately grabbed Hu Shi's arm, "Was what she just said a joke?"
Hu Shih took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed a cigarette to his agent.
"There are some things you'll have to know sooner or later; there's no point in hiding them from you."
"Back then, Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu both left the entertainment industry, you know, because of a woman, right?"
Brother Wang nodded: "There were all sorts of rumors online at the time, saying that the two of them fell in love with the same woman."
"But I was abroad at that time. Later, when I searched online, there were all sorts of things, but I couldn't find any photos of women."
At the time, the matter concerning Pei Zhi's private life caused quite a stir.
Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu both retired from the entertainment industry, and Pei Zhi also disappeared from public view.
According to Hu Shih's understanding, it seems that Xie Cinian, Chi Xiuwen, and Lu Mingxu all contacted people.
They deleted everything about Pei Zhi from the internet.
"You've seen her now, she's Pei Zhi."
"You mean..." Brother Wang covered his mouth, "Wait a minute, didn't she just say she was President Xie's ex-wife?"
"That's why she's so amazing. She's married to Xie Cinian, but she's also having affairs with Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu behind the scenes."
"In the end, she dropped the bombshell. She went all in and dumped all three of them, living a carefree life for almost ten years before finally returning recently."
Brother Wang gasped, "How has she survived until now?"
How can someone who has played with three men still be alive?
Suddenly, Brother Wang remembered something and said, "That's not right. Your relationship with Pei Zhi seems quite close."
"If that's the case, why has Mr. Xie invested in your films all these years?"
"Did President Chi provide you with a good script and a good team?"
"And Mr. Lu, all of your high-end luxury brand endorsements were introduced to you by Mr. Lu."
There's a saying that goes, "When innocent bystanders suffer, innocent bystanders are also affected."
Hu Shih, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said, “I call this ‘love me, love my dog,’ and ‘be kind to those far away and kind to those near.’”
"Although Pei Zhi toyed with their feelings, it's because I have a good relationship with Pei Zhi."
"They still couldn't resist trying to appease and win me over."
Brother Wang slapped his forehead. "That's not right. The way President Xie looked just now didn't seem like he was still hung up on her."
If you really couldn't forget me, why are you so calm after not seeing me for so long?
Hu Shih took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. "Either he's just putting on a good show, or he's really let go."
“If it’s the former, I suggest he change careers; if it’s the latter, I suggest he go to a temple to pray, after all, this is a tragic relationship.”
"Why do you say that?" Brother Wang disagreed. "That girl, Pei Zhi, is so beautiful."
"Hehe..." Hu Shi chuckled, "Beautiful things are all poisonous."
"What's more, it's Pei Zhi, who disappeared for ten years."
Hu Shi flicked his cigarette ash and said, "How many decades does a person have in their lifetime?"
A person's life, except for the first ten or so years when they are confused and ignorant.
In the next ten years or so, he will be old and frail. How many more decades will he have left to make a fuss?
