Chapter 86 The rivalry between lovers continues
Night Hotel
Everyone arrived at the designated hotel, which is an asset of the Aoki Group.
Yi Jiu went to the restroom first. When he came out to wash his hands, he met Luo Mingshu. The water from the faucet was flowing, and the two looked at each other in the mirror.
Luo Mingshu had just put on makeup, and her cold face was expressionless as she washed her hands in another sink next to Yi Jiu. She tilted her head and stared at Yi Jiu's scarf. She asked, "You brought the scarf with you when you got to the hotel. She knitted it for you."
Yi Jiu hummed perfunctorily.
She then turned off the water from the tap.
"Covering up a hickey?"
Yi Jiu didn't want to hide the truth from Luo Mingshu, so he nodded again.
"Hickey?" Luo Mingshu said in a shocking tone, "Sister, is she the one who hurt you?"
The first "sister" was for Yi Jiu, and the second "sister" naturally referred to Yi Jiu's beloved sister, He Jingxin.
In private, Luo Mingshu likes to call Yi Jiu "sister".
It is true that Luo Mingshu is a few months younger than Yi Jiu, so there is nothing wrong with calling her sister.
Yi Jiu remembered that she had never talked about her personal relationship problems with Luo Mingshu, especially she had never mentioned the three words "He Jingxin".
Luo Mingshu explained to her: "You said that when we first met in the bar. Does your promise to me still count?"
This reminded Yi Jiu of her first meeting with Luo Mingshu. She thought of the promise again, a promise that would never be fulfilled, and she felt a little irritated.
She nodded casually.
She took out a tissue from the side and wiped her fingers, her voice as gentle as water: "My promise counts, but I have a girlfriend. I don't want to break up with her right now. You don't have to waste your youth on me."
"You were the one who provoked me first. You were the one who held my hand first in the bar." Luo Mingshu stood in front of Yi Jiu. She was wearing high heels and happened to look Yi Jiu in the eye. Yi Jiu was speechless.
Because of the trouble she caused Luo Mingshu, Yi Jiu never went to the bar again. Even if she went, she would not drink a drop of alcohol.
Luo Mingshu asked again: "She doesn't know about our relationship."
"I don't know, and I don't plan to tell her."
"Then I'll go talk to her." Luo Mingshu said seriously. Yi Jiu held her arm. Luo Mingshu joked, "Are you scared? Are you afraid that she'll be jealous? Afraid that she'll be sad?"
"We haven't done anything wrong. Why should I be afraid of her?" Yi Jiu looked at her silently and advised her earnestly, "I'm afraid you'll get hurt. You signed a movie and variety show contract with me. What if she bullies you and makes you cry? What if she gives me a bad face from tomorrow onwards? What if the media writes nonsense about you and my fans quarrel with your fans?"
Yi Jiu left after she finished speaking, and she walked all the way.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I felt. Would Luo Mingshu have a seizure on the spot?
Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu arrived at the main table one after another, and the main table was reserved for her, He Jingxin, and Luo Mingshu.
The director said a few words, thanking Chengjiang Group and Qingmu Group for inviting teachers Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu to join us, and finally thanking us for making a good start this time.
For the seafood buffet, He Jingxin had already asked the chef to prepare shark fin soup specially for Yi Jiu. As for Luo Mingshu and others, she prepared bird's nests.
Bird's nest has the effect of beautifying the skin and is in line with the tastes of the general public.
The waiter brought another pot of large crabs, one for each person. Yi Jiu opened a large crab and looked at the thick crab roe and plump meat. Crabs are cold in nature, and Yi Jiu also observed that He Jingxin was taking care of herself recently, but crabs were her favorite food.
"Are you trying to get pregnant recently?" Yi Jiu asked bluntly. He Jingxin was caught off guard by this question and her face turned half red. "You are so annoying."
"You should drink oatmeal milk and folic acid tablets every day." Yi Jiu patiently picked out the crab meat, put it on a plate and pushed it in front of He Jingxin, saying flatteringly, "I don't understand, that's why I'm asking you."
"There are some things you don't have to ask. Just watch." He Jingxin glared at Yi Jiu coquettishly. As soon as she started talking about preparing for pregnancy, it was as if she was rushing to marry her and would not marry anyone else.
She put the peeled mantis shrimp into Yi Jiu's mouth. Yi Jiu ate it with gusto and bit her finger, "I won't."
The interaction between the two of them was particularly glaring to Luo Mingshu, but they were in a relationship. Luo Mingshu drank a glass of red wine, and the smell of the wine irritated her throat, causing her to cough a few times.
Suddenly, two people came over with wine glasses, a man and a woman. The man said happily, "I knew it was Mingshu and Xiaojiu."
Mingshu and Xiaojiu are acquaintances.
Judging from the accents of these two people, they tend to be Beijing accents.
"Why are you two sitting so far away? Everyone in the university knows your relationship. Yi Jiu is popular in the whole school, and only our little princess Ming Shu can be with him." The male classmate was careless, and there was some exaggeration in his words, "We were still talking about who could make Yi Jiu lose her virginity?"
Luo Mingshu was shocked by the boy's words, "Class monitor, this is a public place, what you say will cause harm to us."
Lose virginity?
Luo Mingshu stared at the glass of wine in the monitor's hand, her eyes fell on the monitor's face, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, and cursed in her heart, what a crap! If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, she would have wanted to splash water on the monitor's face to let him know how dangerous society is.
He Jingxin's mood was interrupted by this, and she began to focus her attention on Luo Mingshu. She knew that she couldn't believe everything said at the dinner table, but she could not help but believe it, as there were many exaggerations.
Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu were actually college classmates and they were in a relationship.
But she had clearly seen that Luo Mingshu's university was in Beijing, and Yi Jiu's university was abroad.
"Don't talk nonsense." Yi Jiu reminded.
She really dislikes this monitor because he has no sense of boundaries when speaking.
Relying on his family background, he acts as the boss in Beijing and has a group of younger brothers.
"Who is talking nonsense? Haven't you held Luo Mingshu in your arms?" The monitor burped. He was afraid that Yi Jiu didn't remember. He got excited and took out the photo. He showed it to He Jingxin and Luo Mingshu in a grand manner. He wanted to let everyone in the room see it clearly: "Look how cool you were at that time. The way you held Mingshu in your arms. You held Mingshu in your arms like a little princess. Look at how amazing the look in your eyes was."
The photo was taken on the set. Yi Jiu picked up Luo Mingshu, and Luo Mingshu put her arms around Yi Jiu's neck. The two wore the uniforms of Beijing University, and they looked very well matched and very pleasing to the eye. Behind them was the dust from the explosion.
He Jingxin took another look at the photo. It was indeed amazing! Fortunately, the confidentiality here was very good, and no one at other tables heard it.
He Jingxin commented: "It's quite amazing."
Yi Jiu's hand was holding He Jingxin all the time, and He Jingxin wanted to let go. However, Yi Jiu's legs clamped He Jingxin's legs, as if to say, don't listen to their nonsense.
The monitor saw He Jingxin next to Yi Jiu. He still had some impression of her and knew that she was an investor. He sat next to her, smelling the unique scent of this omega and He Jingxin's cool and mature temperament.
The monitor said flatteringly, "Sister investor, the movie will definitely hype up the couple. This photo is enough to hype up the couple of Mingshu and Xiaojiu."
It turned out to be a business talk.
He Jingxin took a sip of wine. She felt the same as the other two people. She didn't like this guy. This guy was blind and didn't see the seating arrangement between Yi Jiu and Luo Mingshu.
She looked at him coldly, "What do you want?"
"I just want to name my product. Is that okay with you?" The squad leader felt a chill down his spine. He was so frightened by He Jingxin's gaze that he dared not say too much. Once this photo was released, it was bound to become a hot topic.
"Not interested." He Jingxin refused coldly.
"Xiao Jiu, tell me something. We are college classmates. You should help us with small favors." The monitor looked at Yi Jiu. Yi Jiu took a sip of the juice and said coldly, "Who is your college classmate?"
This made the arrogant squad leader unhappy.
"Hey, Yijiu, you've become a big star, and you don't recognize your college classmates anymore. Don't say you're from Peking University when you go out."
"I'm not from Peking University. I was just an exchange student for a few months." Yi Jiu replied coldly. She stood up, snatched the phone handsomely, and deleted the photos on it.
The atmosphere on both sides was tense.
Another girl quickly said, "Mingshu, Xiaojiu, we are classmates. Don't be offended if he is drunk."
After saying that, the girl took the boy away.
Spicy Maru
Luo Mingshu even suspected that these two people were her enemies who came to discredit her, and whether Yi Jiu would think that these two people were sent by her.
Acting as her wingman, he deliberately talked about their past. This was to force her to have conflicts with He Jingxin.
With Yi Jiu's promise, she is not afraid of missing opportunities.
It was only the first day of filming and she seemed to have made their relationship so awkward that she was almost mad to death.
She picked up the wine glass and poured herself a glass of red wine. She stood up and said, "Mr. He, I want to apologize on behalf of my classmates."
I drank two glasses of red wine in a row.
Luo Mingshu felt dizzy and could hear two women talking in her ears. Then she saw the door opening and closing.
"Help her and check her pocket to see which floor she lives on?" Yi Jiu said to He Jingxin. He Jingxin took out a room card from her pocket and pressed the elevator button.
"Miss Luo looks cold, but she's drunk. She's quite cute." He Jingxin said to the half-asleep Luo Mingshu with a faint smile on her face: "She drank so fast just now, I think she was about to cry. Yi Jiu, you really know how to hurt people."
"You let Luo Zhifei or her agent take care of her."
"Okay, I will take good care of your sister Mingshu."
This smile was full of sarcasm in Luo Mingshu's drunken eyes. Luo Mingshu was dazzled by the light in the elevator. She closed her eyes. The two of them walked out of the elevator and were about to reach the door of the room.
Luo Mingshu thought it was Yi Jiu who sent her back, and after seeing who it was, she pushed He Jingxin away and asked warily, "Why is it you? Where is Yi Jiu?"
He Jingxin explained harmlessly, "Ms. Luo, I am Yi Jiu's girlfriend. If the paparazzi took photos of the two of you together, it would be very troublesome to handle the PR, and it would cost a lot of money. And I, as your girlfriend, would be jealous, and Yi Jiu would try to coax me, which would be very troublesome. She still has to work, and I can't cause trouble for her. So it's best that I send you here."
What a considerate girlfriend.
Intoxicated by alcohol, Luo Mingshu was about to say, "You own this hotel. Will you let the paparazzi in?" But she was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
"bite."
The door was opened, and Luo Mingshu hurried into the room. At the same time, He Jingxin came in.
"Get out!" Luo Mingshu pointed outside. She seemed like her territory was invaded and ordered everyone to leave.
He Jingxin did not leave. While inserting the room card, he started to make sobering tea for her.
"No! I have to make sobering tea for you. Give me your phone and I'll ask your aunt or agent to come and take care of you." He Jingxin stretched out his hand and asked Luo Mingshu for the phone.
"Don't even think about it!" Luo Mingshu sat on the bed, looking at her in confusion, "...Boss He, what are you doing? Even so, I won't give Yi Jiu to you. You don't like me, do you? I don't like people who are that much older than me."
This was the first time that Luo Mingshu was sent back by her love rival. The love rival helped her call her parents and even made her sobering tea.
The love rival is doing the couple's job. This is not a love rival, but a close friend.
Is this world so crazy? Love has been updated to this version, and she can only watch stupidly.
"Ms. Luo, why are you a little narcissistic?" He Jingxin sighed. "I made you some sobering tea, I don't mean any other reason. I hope you can film well tomorrow instead of delaying everyone's progress. Your pay has been cut in half, ah~~"
He Jingxin could still show some mercy to her.
"?! Then why don't you give the hotel a 10% discount?" Luo Mingshu was angry and annoyed, and blurted out, "Why are you pitying me?"
He Jingxin made a snorting gesture at her.
She called Luo Zhifei, and the moment the call was connected.
He Jingxin said: "Dr. Luo, I am He Jingxin, and Miss Luo drank two glasses of red wine."
Luo Zhifei said, "Please Mr. He, please take care of it while I talk to Mingshu."
Luo Mingshu asked: "......Aunt."
Luo Zhifei said: "Now listen to your sister Jing Xin and wait for me."
Luo Mingshu: ...
She is my love rival, why should she ask me to obey her?
"What's your relationship with Jiujiu? It doesn't matter to me. Besides, you are not my opponent." He Jingxin was busy with the things in his hands and was at least a few meters away from Luo Mingshu, which made Luo Mingshu feel oppressed.
Luo Mingshu pretended to be calm, the red wine blush covering up her nervousness. She said confidently, "I am younger than you, and that is my asset."
"Youth is capital?" He Jingxin repeated. She raised her head. The boiling water cast a layer of white mist on the glass beside her, making He Jingxin's skin look even whiter and tenderer, especially the kiss mark on her neck was more prominent.
"Then your capital must be enough to match your ambition, and your brains, right? I have known her for ten years. I spent the Spring Festival with her at her home."
We have known each other for ten years.
The intoxication from the red wine slowly faded, and Luo Mingshu's face began to turn pale. He Jingxin came over with a cup of hot water, and her footsteps landed on the precious wool blanket without any sound. However, Luo Mingshu's heart tightened, and she took a step back.
He Jingxin stood one step in front of her and looked down at her, "Let me tell you another little secret. We are married. I am preparing for pregnancy recently and will have a baby next year. Jiujiu also said that her nickname is Nian Nian. I am the one she thinks about day and night."
"Marriage? I think you two are divorced. Yi Jiu can't stand you." Luo Mingshu seemed to have found a breakthrough.
There was silence for a moment. He Jingxin secretly sighed. How could she let Luo Mingshu find the flaw? He Jingxin stared at her like a cunning fox, which made Luo Mingshu feel creepy. Then she heard He Jingxin murmur, "You found out all this?"
"What do you want?"
He Jingxin handed her a cup of hot water and said, "As far as I know, she never replies to your WeChat messages and never answers your calls. It's true that we are divorced. But she still likes me."
Luo Mingshu's smug smile vanished. "You did it on purpose! You cunning woman."
"But didn't you see the hickey on my neck? It was left this morning. She wore a scarf today to cover up the hickeys I left on her. There were more than one, four or five."
“Ding Dong.”
The doorbell outside rang and Luo Zhifei's voice was heard.
He Jingxin smiled at her gently, "Ms. Luo, please keep the matter of my marriage and divorce with Yi Jiu a secret. You don't want Yi Jiu to be attacked by the entire Internet, do you?"
After that, He Jingxin opened the door. Luo Zhifei walked in, and He Jingxin nodded to her, "Doctor Luo, I have already prepared sobering tea for Miss Luo, so good night."
"Thank you, Mr. He."
"You are welcome."
