Chapter 85 Are we together?

Normally, seeing Geng Hongzhe smiling at her like this, Jia Yongbi would definitely feel moved, but at this moment, she only felt a chill on her back, and in a short moment, her back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

Geng Hongzhe came over and smiled again. Seeing that Jia Yongbi didn't react and looked dazed, he felt a little strange and asked with a frown, "Yongbi, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Yongbi came back to her senses, tightened the fingers on her sides slightly, and wanted to say something, but heard a cough from the side.

Qi Nian covered his mouth, coughed and looked at Geng Hongzhe, trying to make himself look more natural.

Fortunately, Jia Yongbi seemed to have noticed his reminder and quickly came to her senses, realizing that now was not the time to question Geng Hongzhe. If it was true as Qi Nian said, that the other party often took private photos of others, if he told it out loud now, those girls who were photographed would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Jia Yongbi immediately demonstrated her professional qualities as an actor and said with a smile that she was fine.

Although Geng Hongzhe felt it was strange, he did not think much about it and managed to fool the man. Jia Yongbi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him leave.

She glanced at Qi Nian with a complicated expression and said sincerely, "Thank you for your reminder."

Qi Nian shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do, Sister Yongbi?"

Jia Yongbi thought for a moment and said, "First, find a way to get his phone."

——

When Jia Yongbi found Geng Hongzhe, she discovered that he was on the phone.

Maybe because they were quite far away from each other, Geng Hongzhe hadn't had time to notice her presence. He was frowning and talking to her in a panic.

But because they were far away, Jia Yongbi could hardly hear what he was saying.

When she came closer, Geng Hongzhe immediately realized that there was someone next to him. He said something to the person on the other end of the phone and quickly hung up.

When Jia Yongbi saw him turn around, she immediately put away the suspicion in her eyes and said with a smile, "Who are you talking to on the phone? You look very anxious."

Geng Hongzhe paused, looked at Jia Yongbi, and asked, "Did you hear it?"

Jia Yongbi shook her head: "It's so far away, how can I hear it?"

Geng Hongzhe relaxed, with a bit of sadness between his brows: "It's nothing, didn't I open a company? There is a problem with the company's funds."

Geng Hongzhe did open a catering company, but he said yesterday that the company had been making profits. How come it had financial problems today?

Although Jia Yongbi had doubts, she did not show it.

She did not continue to ask about the catering company, but Geng Hongzhe took the initiative to bring it up.

Geng Hongzhe seemed to have difficulty speaking, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "Yongbi, I want to ask you a favor."

Jia Yongbi leaned on the railing, looked at the scenery of the sea in the distance, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? You don't want to borrow money, do you?"

Geng Hongzhe: “…”

He didn't say anything. I don't know if he was embarrassed or what.

Jia Yongbi waited for a long time but heard nothing. She turned to look at Geng Hongzhe. Seeing that he looked embarrassed, she was stunned for a moment and was a little surprised: "Are you really borrowing money?"

Geng Hongzhe smiled awkwardly: "Yongbi, you know me well. If I wasn't in a real hurry, I wouldn't ask you for help. Don't worry, I'll return the money to you when I get the money back."

Jia Yongbi glanced at him and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Geng Hongzhe: “…30 million.”

Jia Yongbi frowned: "So many!"

Although it is easy for them to make money as artists, it is also easy for them to spend money as they have a whole team. So it is not easy to take out 30 million at once.

Although Jia Yongbi was not prepared to pay.

Geng Hongzhe was silent for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Did I make things difficult for you?"

Jia Yongbi: “…” You know I’m putting you in a difficult position, so just keep quiet.

Moreover, the other party only said that it was embarrassing for her, but he had no intention of taking back the loan. Jia Yongbi looked at Geng Hongzhe from the perspective of an outsider for the first time, and she found that she had never noticed that Geng Hongzhe was so hypocritical.

Even if the other party did not do such a thing as taking private photos secretly, Jia Yongbi still felt that he was not her right person.

"It's indeed a bit difficult, but since you've asked, you must really have difficulties. I'll think of a solution and give it to you in two days." Who doesn't know how to say nice things? Jia Yongbi felt that based on her personality, she would lend it to the other party, so she might as well comfort the other party first.

"Thank you, Yongbi. Your help in times of need is the most precious thing. I will never let you down." Geng Hongzhe hugged Jia Yongbi with a touched look on his face, and sweet words came out of his mouth.

When Jia Yongbi heard this, she got goosebumps all over her body and responded vaguely with "OK".

She really wanted to complain now, so she sent a message to Qi Nian while Geng Hongzhe was looking at his phone.

[Jia Yongbi]: He really has the nerve to ask me for a loan!

Qi Nian, who was always fighting on the front line of the melon-eating scene, naturally replied to her immediately.

【Qi Nian】: Huh?! Then you didn’t borrow it?

[Jia Yongbi]: No, he asked for 30 million right away, and it’s impossible for me to come up with so much money at once. I have to calm him down first.

[Qin Nian]: That's good. Sister Yongbi, please be careful. If anything happens, remember to send a secret signal and I will help you to shake it off!

After all, it was still a bit worrying for Jia Yongbi to face Geng Hongzhe alone, so the two of them agreed on a secret code: if Jia Yongbi made a "meow meow" sound, Qi Nian would immediately bring people to rush over to find her.

Ahem, as to why it is “咩咩咩”, it may be because this sentence is not commonly used and it will not be mistaken.

What Jia Yongbi didn't know was that while she was messaging Qi Nian, Geng Hongzhe was also messaging someone else.

[Geng Hongzhe]: Please give me two more days. I will give it to you in two days.

: Tsk tsk, that’s what I said, how could a big star be without money?

Geng Hongzhe turned off his phone in annoyance and looked up. Coincidentally, Jia Yongbi also looked up. They smiled at each other. To those who didn't know, they really looked like a perfect couple.

At night, Jia Yongbi did not go back to her room as before, but followed Geng Hongzhe to each other's room.

Geng Hongzhe was stunned. After all, Jia Yongbi was quite conservative. For so long, the two of them had not done anything more intimate.

Jia Yongbi was already cursing her mother in her heart, but what could she do? Geng Hongzhe never put down his phone, and she had no chance to get close to him at all!

Seeing Geng Hongzhe looking at him in surprise, Jia Yongbi pretended to blush and coughed lightly: "What's wrong? Is it okay for me to come to my boyfriend's room?"

"Of course, no problem." Geng Hongzhe said as he moved closer to Jia Yongbi: "Yongbi, I..."

Jia Yongbi stretched out her hand to push him away, frowned and said, "Go take a shower first."

Geng Hongzhe looked at her and smiled, then nodded: "Okay."

He took some clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom. Jia Yongbi looked at the phone he threw on the sofa and her heart beat a little faster.

Seeing Geng Hongzhe was about to go to the bathroom, Jia Yongbi thought she was about to succeed, but he suddenly stopped and looked at the phone on the sofa: "Eh? I didn't bring my phone."

"You're taking your phone with you in the shower? Who are you trying to protect yourself from? I won't look at your phone." Jia Yongbi said immediately. She picked up Geng Hongzhe's phone from the sofa and handed it to him: "Here, take it if you want."

It must be said that Jia Yongbi's tactic of retreating to advance was indeed effective. Geng Hongzhe glanced at the phone the other party handed over and smiled: "Of course I believe you won't look through the phone, so I won't bring the phone with me."

As he said this, he went into the bathroom.

Jia Yongbi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned on her phone. Fortunately, she was a careful person and had written down Geng Hongzhe's phone password after accidentally noticing it.

As soon as the phone was turned on, a strange contact caught Jia Yongbi's attention. He found the chat records between the other party and Geng Hongzhe, in which the other party was urging Geng Hongzhe to pay back the money.

However, Geng Hongzhe's comment on this person was "xx clerk".

Jia Yongbi sensed something was wrong and quickly clicked on the other person's profile picture. She soon discovered that this person was actually related to the casino.

Jia Yongbi had a bad guess and quickly looked through the chat history between the two.

Geng Hongzhe has the habit of deleting chat records, but fortunately he did not delete the ones from these two days.

After seeing the above content, Jia Yongbi's hands and feet turned cold.

This is still a debt collection chat.

[xx clerk]: Big star, do you know what the consequences will be if you don’t pay us back the money you owe us?

[Geng Hongzhe]: I'm sorry, please give me two more days.

[xx clerk]: Are you taking me for a fool?

[Geng Hongzhe]: Can private photos be used to pay off debts?

【xx clerk】：? Yours?

[Geng Hongzhe]: Other girls.

[xx clerk]: Photos of ordinary women are not worth much money.

[Geng Hongzhe]: What about female celebrities?

Jia Yongbi covered her chest and almost couldn't breathe. Her fingers holding the phone trembled slightly. This Geng Hongzhe was simply a beast!

Fortunately, because that person said that private photos of ordinary girls are not worth much, Geng Hongzhe did not send them to the other party. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine what those girls would face.

Fortunately, Jia Yongbi was very vigilant. Since she had only known Geng Hongzhe for a short time, she had never done anything intimate with him.

Jia Yongbi pursed her lips and opened the album. There were hundreds of photos in it, which was simply shocking.

She let out a breath, and paused before her finger pressed the delete key. If she deleted it like this, would Geng Hongzhe and his family be punished?

Jia Yongbi hesitated for a moment, but decided to keep a proof before deleting it, and then contact those girls to see how they were going to deal with it.

After making sure that all possible places where the photos were stored were deleted, Jia Yongbi breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. Geng Hongzhe looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

The other person no longer had the gentle mask of the past, and his eyes were replaced with a penetrating light.

Jia Yongbi wanted to say something but was suddenly pushed away by Geng Hongzhe. Her shoulder hit the corner of the table and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Geng Hongzhe's eyes were particularly terrifying, as if he was a demon from hell. He walked closer to Jia Yongbi step by step, gritting his teeth and saying, "You bastard, you dare to play tricks on me!"

Jia Yongbi tightened her fingers and looked at the other person with some fear: "What...what are you going to do?"

Geng Hongzhe squatted down, pinched Jia Yongbi's chin hard, and sneered: "Take off your clothes."

He knew very well how to control these women. No matter what they knew, as long as he took a picture of them, these women would be like rabbits with their throats strangled. No matter how happily they jumped before, they would eventually be obedient and let him do whatever he wanted.

Geng Hongzhe had used this trick on many women before, but he originally didn't want to use it on Jia Yongbi. But who made this woman so disobedient?

Thinking of this, Geng Hongzhe smiled, as if he had foreseen that Jia Yongbi would obediently let him do whatever he wanted.

Jia Yongbi looked at Geng Hongzhe's once handsome appearance, and now she only felt extremely disgusted.

This guy only shows off in front of people who are weaker than him. When faced with the threats from debt collectors, he gets scared faster than anyone else. It is indeed the nature of a gambler.

Jia Yongbi closed her eyes in disgust. At this moment, the door was opened from the outside with a bang.

Geng Hongzhe obviously didn't expect someone to come in directly. He was a little panicked at first, then he looked at the person who rushed in with an angry voice and shouted, "Who let you in? Get out!"

After receiving Jia Yongbi's "secret code", Qi Nian did not dare to stop for a moment and rushed in with the hotel staff and others.

Seeing Geng Hongzhe's helpless and furious look, he didn't bother to pay attention. He walked to Jia Yongbi, helped her up, and asked with concern: "Sister Yongbi, are you okay?"

Jia Yongbi was indeed frightened just now. She calmed down and shook her head: "It's okay."

"You guys..." Geng Hongzhe rushed forward and wanted to do something, but before he could touch Jia Yongbi, he was kicked by Song Xiaoming.

Chu Tianheng, who was about to take action to protect his younger brother, turned his head and glanced at Song Xiaoming, who smiled at him ingratiatingly.

Jia Yongbi's assistants also came over. After finding out what happened, they were all terrified. Some even cried. After all, if anything happened to Jia Yongbi, they would have no way to explain.

With such a big incident happening, Jia Yongbi and Geng Hongzhe’s agents arrived quickly.

Geng Hongzhe's agent still held on to unrealistic fantasies and wanted to resolve the issue privately with Jia Yongbi, but Jia Yongbi obviously would not agree.

It is impossible to resolve the issue privately, so she will contact the victimized girls. If they are unwilling to come forward, then that's fine. But if they are willing, she will join those girls in suing Geng Hongzhe.

Geng Hongzhe had used private photos to threaten and blackmail other girls before. If he were to be prosecuted, it would definitely be enough to make the other party drink a bottle of wine.

At this point, Geng Hongzhe is still making a fuss. A grown man, crying and begging Jia Yongbi to let him go.

Geng Hongzhe: "Yongbi, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I was not clear-headed before and I hurt you in a moment of confusion. But I didn't do anything bad to you, so will you let me go? Are you willing to watch my career go to waste?"

Jia Yongbi simply laughed: "Are you kidding me? Do you only need to prove that you didn't hurt me to clear yourself of your crime? Or do you think I'm as selfish as you, and as long as I'm fine, I don't care about other people's lives?"

Geng Hongzhe indeed had not had the time to do anything to hurt her, but those girls had already experienced it. Why were those girls threatened by him for so long, like frightened birds, while Geng Hongzhe only needed to cry and apologize to make others forgive him?

Seeing that Jia Yongbi was not going to take the soft approach, Geng Hongzhe started to use force. He was originally crying, but suddenly his expression turned fierce, as if he had become a different person. If you didn't know him well, you would think he was mentally ill.

He looked at Jia Yongbi coldly: "Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to be so cruel?"

Geng Hongzhe said: "Well, if you have the guts, kill me this time, otherwise, I will not let you off easily! Hahahaha, Jia Yongbi, if you destroy me, I will drag you to hell with you!"

It was impossible for Jia Yongbi to remain calm in the face of such a threat, but after being frightened, she quickly calmed down, glanced at Geng Hongzhe, and was too lazy to say more to him.

Qi Nian frowned and glanced at the ferocious-looking Geng Hongzhe, then looked at Jia Yongbi with some worry: "Sister Yongbi, are you okay?"

Jia Yongbi shook her head: "It's okay. If I don't sue her this time, I will never feel at peace for the rest of my life."

As she spoke, she showed Qi Nian the chat records between Geng Hongzhe and the debt collector that she had saved.

After reading it, Qi Nian felt that Geng Hongzhe was really disgusting. This guy deserved to die.

It would be painful to think if this guy was not punished and instead continued to be a big star as before, and even used his celebrity status to deceive those girls.

Jia Yongbi looked at Qi Nian and said solemnly, "Thank you. If you hadn't reminded me, I might have been one of the people threatened by him."

In fact, because she is a public figure, her private photos are more valuable. Geng Hongzhe will sell her photos to debt collectors, and she will be threatened by them.

This was not just her imagination. Just based on Geng Hongzhe's chat records, it could be seen that this possibility was very high.

Thinking of this, Jia Yongbi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She felt scared just by imagining it, let alone those girls who were actually threatened by Geng Hongzhe?

Therefore, Geng Hongzhe has decided to sue! Thinking of this, Jia Yongbi's expression became much more resolute.

——

Qi Nian paid special attention to the developments on Weibo.

Sure enough, not long after, several girls came together to attack Geng Hongzhe, which soon caused an uproar. After all, Geng Hongzhe's ancient idol drama had just been aired and was very popular recently.

At first, Geng Hongzhe's fans were still resisting, but when Jia Yongbi left, the truth of the matter was confirmed.

For a while, Weibo was filled with the scene of a large number of people losing their followers.

After this incident, apart from other things, the variety show must be re-recorded. There is no other way, after all, Geng Hongzhe is one of the four mentors and has a lot of shots.

As for the previous few episodes, well... the program team could only stay up late and work overtime to edit the videos.

Qi Nian ran into several program staff members, and heard people cursing Geng Hongzhe everywhere.

"Why do I always encounter things like this!" Zhou Jing's screams were heard from afar, and one could imagine how devastated he was.

Qi Nian silently sympathized with Zhou Jing in his heart.

Being bored, and with the good weather these past two days, Qi Nian decided to find a place outside to bask in the sun.

Suddenly, he felt the sun above his head was blocked by a shadow. He waited for a long time, but the shadow did not move away. Finally, he could not help but raise his head: "You...brother?!"

Qi Nian looked up at the handsome face above him and almost thought he was seeing things.

It's impossible to make a mistake. After all, there aren't many people who are somewhat similar to Chu Rongshi. Even though it's a death angle of looking up, the other person is already incredibly handsome.

Chu Rongshi smiled, put his hand on the back of Qi Nian's chair, and leaned down slightly: "Finally you noticed me."

Qi Nian coughed lightly and couldn't help mumbling, "I knew someone was coming, but who would have thought it was you?"

He pursed his lips, looked at Chu Rong who was getting closer, and stammered, "You... why are you here?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and push the person in front of him. Ahhh! Too close... It felt like if the other person lowered his head again, he could kiss him.

"I miss you." Chu Rongshi looked at him and said.

Everyone thought: “?!”

No, why did his brother suddenly become so straightforward?

He widened his eyes, looking at the other person with a little panic.

Chu Rongshi laughed again: "What's wrong with that expression?"

What's wrong? Qi Nian complained in his heart. He tried to make himself feel more relaxed: "I've only been out... for three days!"

"Well, so I came here to ask you when you will be back?" Chu Rongshi said.

Actually, we should have gone back after three days, but there was no other way because the program needed to be re-recorded, so the end time was postponed.

Chu Rongshi probably thought that the recording of the show was about to end, so he came back to take him home.

Seeing that Chu Rongshi's forehead was about to touch him, Qi Nian finally couldn't help it. He glanced at Chu Rongshi and muttered softly: "Speak properly, you're... almost kissing me!"

After saying this, Chu Rongshi smiled again.

Qi Nian's cheeks flushed, and he became angry and said, "What are you laughing at?"

You were so cool before, why do you love to laugh so much now?

Chu Rongshi was about to speak when Qi Nian suddenly pushed him away, stood up, and coughed softly: "Okay, okay, let's go home."

He's pretty bored here anyway...

After Qi Nian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked quickly. Chu Rongshi's voice came from the side: "Not this way."

Everyone thought: "..."

Chu Rongshi tilted his head to the left: "Here."

Qi Nian turned around awkwardly and continued walking pretending to be at ease.

He suddenly felt Chu Rongshi catch up with him, then grabbed his arm, and then held his hand.

Qi Nian's heart trembled, and he looked at Chu Rongshi: "What are you doing? There shouldn't be any naughty kids randomly spawning here, right?"

"It's not because of this." Chu Rongshi said: "I want to hold your hand."

The unexpected straight ball made Qi Nian's mind go blank. He stared at Chu Rongshi blankly, and then let the other party pull him into the car.

Chu Rongshi did not drive, but looked at him.

Qi Nian looked away: "What are you doing?"

Chu Rongshi said: "I was wondering, how long will Nian Nian hide from me?"

Qi Nian subconsciously retorted: "I'm not hiding from you!"

Chu Rongshi: “No?”

Qi Nian affirmed, "No."

Chu Rongshi smiled: "That means there is nothing."

Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what was going on. His brother was really difficult to deal with today!

He could have easily changed the subject before!

Chu Rongshi: "So, what is Nian Nian thinking about?"

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, his face full of question marks: "What are you considering?"

Chu Rongshi looked at him, his narrow eyes filled with seriousness: "Consider when you will be with me."

Qi Nian widened his eyes slightly. No, why does it feel weird?

His head was dizzy, and he heard Chu Rongshi say, "It's been a long time."

Qi Nian thought consciously: "It hasn't been long, has it?"

Chu Rongshi suddenly moved closer to him, held him in his arms with his slender hands, and whispered softly in his ear: "But I can't wait any longer, can you give me an answer quickly? Nian Nian."

It was clearly a familiar name, but at this moment, it brought with it a tingling sensation, as if it tickled my heart, making me want to reach out and touch it.
