She was here too?
Could it be that Xu Yanchuan was really going to cooperate with her, and the two had already started?
Heh. She had some nerve.
First, she stole her man, and now she was coming for her only male best friend. Did this woman have an addiction to stealing men!
Gong Beibei was displeased but still walked in with a smile.
She had originally come to share good news with Xu Yanchuan, but now she had other plans.
“What are you two doing? Discussing work? Sorry, I might have come at an inconvenient time.”
“It’s nothing, I was just bored and came to find Achuan. Since you’re busy, I’ll come another day. You guys continue your chat.”
After speaking, she placed her wine on the table and turned to leave the studio.
Leaving the studio, Gong Beibei did not go home. Instead, she drove her car to wait on the opposite side of the road, staring at the studio and waiting patiently.
An hour, two hours, three hours passed, and Jiang Nanfang finally came out of the studio with Xu Yanchuan.
As they walked, they were still discussing something intensely, seemingly not having had enough.
Gong Beibei quickly took out her phone and started taking pictures frantically.
Then, she drove her car, following Xu Yanchuan all the way to a restaurant.
Jiang Nanfang and Xu Yanchuan chose a table by the window, sitting opposite each other. She took pictures of every single action and movement they made during the meal.
Xu Yanchuan respected Jiang Nanfang’s comics greatly, and many of her ideas coincided with his.
Therefore, they had a very pleasant discussion about the script adaptation. They even managed to outline the basic framework in just one day.
In the evening, Xu Yanchuan said Jiang Nanfang had worked hard and insisted on treating her to a meal, which is why they came for hot pot.
After the meal, Xu Yanchuan once again enthusiastically offered to drive Jiang Nanfang back, but Jiang Nanfang declined.
“I don’t live far from here, and it’s good to walk back after eating. You go ahead. I’ll be at the studio on time tomorrow.”
In short, the two had resolved their previous misunderstandings and spent the day happily together.
Xu Yanchuan waved goodbye to her and drove back to the studio.
Seeing that they had parted ways, Gong Beibei quickly drove back to Xu Yanchuan’s studio.
The wine from noon had not been used; now was the time.
On the way, she ordered a large amount of delicious takeout. Upon arriving at the studio, she used the excuse of being in a bad mood to drag Xu Yanchuan out for drinks and conversation.
Xu Yanchuan was still very happy after sorting out the script matters.
They ate and chatted freely. After three bottles of wine, by ten o’clock in the evening, he was finally drunk.
Before he lost consciousness, Gong Beibei helped him to bed, took off his clothes, then used his finger to unlock his phone and sent a message to Jiang Nanfang.
“I think I ate something bad, my stomach really hurts. I can’t drive myself, can you come and take me to the hospital?”
Her partner, who had spent the entire day with her, was sick. Jiang Nanfang would surely be very worried.
She was confident that she would come.
As expected, when Jiang Nanfang came out after showering and saw the message, she immediately started changing clothes and called Xu Yanchuan back.
“What’s wrong? Is it serious? Do you need me to call 120 for you?”
Xu Yanchuan was sleeping like a log, so naturally, he couldn’t answer her.
Gong Beibei could only hold the phone to his lips and subtly pinch his back.
Xu Yanchuan whimpered in pain in his daze.
Seeing him in this state, Jiang Nanfang became even more anxious.
“Okay, okay, wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
The door was open, and Gong Beibei waited at the corner of the hallway. Soon, Jiang Nanfang arrived.
Seeing her enter the room with her own eyes, Gong Beibei finally left the studio.
Zhan Beijue was very angry. He had been angry all day.
His mother had secretly conspired with other women to force him into marriage!
Now, all the media were reporting that he was about to get engaged.
Moreover, his mother had publicly declared to the media that she recognized Beibei as her daughter-in-law, so even issuing a statement to clarify would be useless.
It was really annoying.
His relationship with Jiang Nanfang had only just started to improve. How would she think of him after seeing the news?
After the event, the leaders of Nanda organized a dinner for the guests, attended by all the reputable industry insiders. Zhan Beijue could not refuse and had to attend.
However, he was distracted the entire time, constantly checking his phone. He wanted to see if Jiang Nanfang had contacted him.
He had even thought about how to explain things to her and how to fall out with his mother.
The meal lasted from 11:20 AM to 2:00 PM.
However, Jiang Nanfang had not sent him a single questioning message.
This woman, was she pretending not to see it, or was she really so busy that she hadn’t seen the news?
Or perhaps she had seen it, didn’t care about anything, and didn’t even ask for an explanation?
What did she mean by this?
Zhan Beijue was tormented, but he couldn’t lower his pride to send her a message to explain.
Since she didn’t ask and didn’t care, he wouldn’t bother to say anything!
After the meal, his mother told Zhan Beijue not to go to the company today and to come home with her to discuss the engagement properly.
Zhan Beijue’s mood was terrible. He didn’t say a word to his mother and drove away from the restaurant directly.
He didn’t feel like going to the company, but he had nowhere else to go, so he called Lu Mingzhe and asked him to meet at a bar.
It was Lu Mingzhe and Lu Qingxu who saw the news and asked him about it with gossip.
Zhan Beijue replied irritably, “It’s exactly what you see. I didn’t propose. She can get engaged to whoever she wants.”
Seeing his low mood, the two dared not ask further and could only accompany him, drinking glass after glass.
The three of them drank from the afternoon until past seven in the evening. Even with a good tolerance for alcohol, they were all tipsy.
Zhan Beijue started swearing frequently and complained about Jiang Nanfang again and again.
Seeing that he was about to get drunk and cause trouble, Lu Mingzhe, afraid of an incident, quickly pulled him out.
“Let’s go, let’s go, stop drinking. If you drink any more, something will happen tonight. Come on, I’ll take you to a hotel.”
The two brothers, pulling and dragging him, sent him to the Peninsula International and booked a room.
He was thrown onto the bed, and Zhan Beijue fell into a deep sleep in less than two seconds.
He thought the night would pass without any further incidents, but he woke up around ten o’clock at night, feeling dry and thirsty.
Half-sober, he went downstairs to pour himself some water.
After drinking the water, he checked his phone. It was empty. Jiang Nanfang still hadn’t sent him a message.
He wished he could smash his phone.
Damn Jiang Nanfang, what exactly is on your mind all day?
Speaking of Jiang Nanfang, he suddenly remembered that she was also staying at this hotel.
Zhan Beijue called the front desk and asked for her room number.
Mr. Zhan was one of the hotel shareholders, so he could easily get a room number.
Soon, the front desk checked and informed him.
Zhan Beijue immediately ordered someone to move his room to be opposite Jiang Nanfang’s, planning to have a chance encounter.
However, before his room could be changed, the front desk called to inform him.
“Miss Jiang just went out. She seemed flustered and ran very fast, as if something had happened.”
At this late hour, what could have happened to her alone?
Zhan Beijue hurriedly followed her out.
