Qi Huan didn’t even know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She hurriedly sent a message back to Ji Xiao.
But after ten minutes of sending the message, there was no response.
She hurriedly got up, washed up, and called Jiang Ruixia again.
“Xia Xia, Ji Xiao returned the money to me, saying that he couldn’t continue with the show.”
“How could this happen?” Jiang Ruixia was obviously shocked too, “Did you send him a message?”
Qi Huan pursed her lips: “I did, but I didn’t get a reply.”
Jiang Ruoxia cursed, “He didn’t reply to my message either, but I’m at work now, so I can’t go to his school to look for him.”
Qi Huan thought for a moment. She was thinking that Ji Xiao’s sudden decision not to act at this point must have something to do with Qu Jianshen, so she had to go and find out.

Qi Huan pressed the lift button, then said, “I’ll go to Ji Xiao’s school first. I won’t bother you with your work. We’ll contact you by text message if there’s anything going on.”
Jiang Ruixia: “Okay.”
***
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Xichuan Film Academy. Qi Huan paid and received a message from Jiang Ruixia.
She said that Ji Xiao should be in class and also gave Qi Huan the address of the class.
She went in and found a random girl and asked for the direction of the teaching building, and soon got the answer.
When Qi Huan arrived at the third floor of the teaching building, it was right at the end of class, and she immediately saw Ji Xiao, who was standing on a crane.
“Ji Xiao!” Qi Huan’s voice was not very loud, but it still attracted the attention of many people.
Her appearance was already exquisite. Even in the film school, she vaguely outshined everyone else, making people look at her sideways.
There were a few other boys beside Ji Xiao, and when they turned around and saw Qi Huan standing there, they all looked curious.
“You’re amazing. All the beauties have come over to you!”
“Who’s this, your girlfriend? Introduce us.”
“You’re hiding very deep!”
Qi Huan walked quickly in front of Ji Xiao, blocking the direction he was trying to escape in. “My messages aren’t returned. Have you forgotten our agreement?”
Oh…
The surrounding area was full of the sounds of people eating melons.
When Ji Xiao saw Qi Huan, he also had a bitter face. “Sister Qi Huan, didn’t you already get your money back? I also said I’m not acting anymore, so don’t come looking for me.”
Qi Huan just wanted to continue talking, but the surrounding students who were eating melons surprisingly didn’t leave. One looked at them with gossipy eyes, as if they were watching a drama.
“Let’s talk somewhere else.” She looked at Ji Xiao and said, with a firm look. She had an appearance that she would not allow him to refuse.
Ji Xiao opened his mouth, but was still subdued by the look on Qi Huan’s face. He obediently followed Qi Huan out.
After leaving the school building, the two of them looked for a corner where no one was around.
Qi Huan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, “Did Qu Jianshen’s side look for you, so you temporarily backtracked?”
Ji Xiao was silent for a while, then spoke: “Sister Qi Huan, I can not afford to offend you both. If I had known the identity of President Qu, I would not have dared..”
“What are you afraid of him for? You have me to back you up!” Qi Huan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. “How much did he pay you? I’ll give you double!”
Ji Xiao sighed, “It’s not a matter of money.”
Qi Huan frowned, “Then what did he promise you?”
“Do you know Director Dong He Zheng?” Ji Xiao spoke up, “He did both Blaze and Severe Winter, both of which were big hits, and his new movie is in the pipeline.”
Qi Huan understood, looked at him, and said, “So Qu Jianshen gave you the opportunity to act in this movie?”
Ji Xiao nodded: “I’m an acting student, and this is a production by director Dong Hezheng. Even if it’s just a small supporting role, hundreds of people will be scrambling for it, so I can’t help but be impressed. Sister Qi Huan, I’m sorry.”
Qi Huan’s mind couldn’t help but think of Qu Jianshen’s winning smile. No wonder he asked for a day’s time. He did it in order to win people’s hearts, in order to catch her off guard.
“I was also surprised when President Qu’s assistant found me.” Ji Xiao continued, “But I’m also just a student. I can’t compete with a group as big as He-Yuan. Not to mention that they offered such an attractive condition.”
Qi Huan raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a light expression, “We were supposed to have made a deal. The other party offered a higher price, so you could indeed break the contract and choose the other party. But you shouldn’t have said nothing. It’s not polite of you to not even reply to a text message.”
She sighed lightly and added, “Then I hope you grab this opportunity well, and I wish you great success in the future.”
Qi Huan left after she finished speaking. There was no need for her to dwell on Ji Xiao for too long. The main problem wasn’t with him either.
The corners of her lips pursed as she called Qu Jianshen: “Where are you?”
Qu Jianshen smiled lightly and spoke, “I’m at the company. Today’s lunch is very generous. Do you want to eat it together?”
“You wait for me!” Qi Huan gritted her teeth and said one word at a time.
As soon as she heard this laugh, she couldn’t help but want to tear Qu Jianshen’s mouth apart. It really pissed her off!
***
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Jiang Ruixia went to the stairway and called Qi Huan.
“How’s it going? Have you seen Ji Xiao?” She asked.
Qi Huan had just gotten into her car and was preparing to leave for He-Yuan, so she said, “He’s been bribed by Qu Jianshen.”
Jiang Ruoxia wasn’t even surprised anymore. “Sure enough, was it the high price offered?”
“No.” Qi Huan gritted her teeth and said with a huff, “He directly asked Ji Xiao to play a supporting role in director Dong He Zheng’s new movie.”
“What?” Jiang Ruoxia couldn’t help but blurt out, “Is this the power of capital? If Qu Jianshen wants to promote someone, he can just throw resources at them. That’s too good.”
Qi Huan had a question mark on her face, “I suspect you’re praising Qu Jianshen?”
“No, no, absolutely not.” Jiang Ruixia immediately denied it, “I’m scolding capitalism for not being good! So is Qu Jianshen!”
Qi Huan’s heart felt better and then said, “I’m on my way to find Qu Jianshen. I’m going to fight him today!”
Jiang Ruixia froze, “Can you beat Qu Jianshen?”
“Definitely not, but he definitely won’t fight me, so it’s just me beating him up unilaterally.” Qi Huan clenched her fist, “If I don’t beat him, I won’t be able to get out of this anger!”
Jiang Ruixia couldn’t help but laugh, “Go ahead. Just tell me the results of the battle when you get there.”
Qi Huan said hatefully, “Just wait. I’ll show you Qu Jianshen’s face when the time comes!”
Jiang Ruoxia was not worried at all. She knew that Qu Jianshen would never do anything to Qi Huan, so she went along with Qi Huan without worry.
“Do you not care about Ji Xiao’s side?” She asked again.
Qi Huan sighed and said, “Forget it. Who would give up a good opportunity like this? If we don’t care about him, we won’t have the chance to meet in the future.”
***
He Yuan Group.
After Qi Huan hung up the phone roughly. The corner of Qu Jianshen’s lips lifted slightly and he said to Xu Ling, “When Huanhuan comes over later, no matter what happens, don’t care about it.”
Xu Ling froze, and then nodded his head.
Just as the words left his mouth, a voice came from outside.
“Is that dog Qu Jianshen in there?”
In an instant, the secretary’s office gathered to eat melons, all staring at the aggressive Qi Huan.
Naturally, Qu Jianshen also heard the words. After raising his eyebrows, he asked Xu Ling to open the door.
Qi Huan had already rolled up her sleeves and made a move to fight with Qu Jianshen.
When Xu Ling opened the door, he said respectfully, “Miss Qi Huan, the boss is waiting for you inside.”
Qi Huan grunted, went inside, and then closed the door with a bang.
“Senior Xu, what’s going on with the boss and Miss Qi Huan?”
“Did they have a fight?”
“Miss Qi Huan looks very angry! They’re not going to fight, are they?”
“What’s going on?”
A group of people gathered around Xu Ling and asked. He looked bitter. “I don’t know. You guys, don’t ask about the boss.”
Qi Huan didn’t know that the people outside were already in a melon eating frenzy. She looked at the relaxed looking Qu Jianshen behind the desk and got angry.
“Qu Jianshen, are you a human being!” She slapped her hand on the desk, so loudly that the crowd of melon eaters eavesdropping outside also shook with her.
Qi Huan originally wanted to question Qu Jianshen in such a handsome manner, but she had used too much force, and now her entire palm was bouncing off this force. It was numb and painful.
Qu Jianshen watched this consistent movement of hers, then smiled and asked, “Does it hurt?”
“Ouch.” Qi Huan hurriedly blew on her right hand. Because of the excessive force, the entire palm of her hand was red at this point.
Qu Jianshen sighed helplessly, then got up to look, “What’s the point of pushing so hard? It’s still you who hurts.”
He walked around the desk and came in front of Qi Huan, holding her hand again and starting to examine it.
The tip of Qi Huan’s heart followed a tremor, and she drew back her fingers almost instantly. Her ears were burning but her tone was strong. “Don’t you change the subject for me. Did you already know that Ji Xiao and I were acting?”
Qu Jianshen nodded, “I know.”
Qi Huan was slightly stunned: “How did you know?”
Suddenly, Qu Jianshen bent down closer. The corners of his smiling lips rose slightly, “Huanhuan, next time don’t lie in front of me. It’s really very easy to be detected.”
Qi Huan:”…..”
She was so angry that she pushed Qu Jianshen away and couldn’t help but question, “If you recognised it, why didn’t you point it out then? Why wait for the next day?”
“I saw that you were having fun acting, and I was a bit tolerant.” Qu Jianshen raised his eyebrows, but then his tone changed and he said in a deep voice, “I also wanted you to see clearly what kind of person you were looking for.”
He had a point?
“You’re just a dog!” Qi Huan searched her mind for cursing words and finally came up with this one. She stepped forward, grabbed Qu Jianshen’s collar, and gritted her teeth. “I really want to beat you up.”
Qu Jianshen let her grab his collar and didn’t even make any move. “Go ahead, if it makes you happy.”
This fearless appearance made Qi Huan even more furious. She clenched her fist, making herself calm, but she couldn’t help but be angry.
Looking at Qu Jianshen’s fresh and clean hair, Qi Huan narrowed her eyes slightly. She retaliated by reaching out her hand and rubbing his hair into a chicken nest.
Qu Jianshen also did not anticipate that Qi Huan would move his hair and helplessly grabbed Qi Huan’s hands, “Are you satisfied?”
“No.” Qi Huan looked at her masterpiece and curled her eyes in a good mood.
Qu Jianshen sighed softly, “Why do you need someone to accompany you in your drama?”
“Don’t you know? It’s for breaking off the engagement.” Qi Huan glared at him, feeling that his question was redundant.
Qu Jianshen’s eyebrows dropped slightly as he stared at her and asked, “What’s wrong with our marriage contract? Why do you want to break it off?”
Qi Huan locked eyes with him and said directly, “I don’t like you, so why can’t we break it off!”
“Is that so?”
Suddenly, Qu Jianshen gripped Qi Huan’s wrist and brought her into his arms. His other hand also clasped her waist. He hung his head close and asked softly in a low voice: “You don’t like me that much?”
The distance became negative and the ambiguity multiplied.
Qi Huan was already in Qu Jianshen’s arms before she even reacted. The scent of pine wood burrowed into the tip of her nose, and she only felt as if her whole body was wrapped in Qu Jianshen’s scent. Gentle, yet aggressive.
Her heart was beating uncontrollably at that moment, as if everything had become abnormal, and from this upwards, her cheeks haloed with redness. She was so hot that Qi Huan woke up with a start.
She quickly shook off Qu Jianshen, then ran towards the door, but did not forget to drop a harsh word, “Wait for me; I’ll get you next time!”
The door opened abruptly and the crowd outside did not react. They watched Qi Huan, whose cheeks were red, leave, while Qu Jianshen in the office had his hair and clothes in a mess.
So it was this kind of fight?
Delivered yourself to him and then ran in denial lol
