Chapter 11 (2/2)

Jiang Yi suddenly bent over as he got into the car. They quickly moved to gave him room. Zhu Jing and Lin Hao hesitantly followed him inside.After the door closed, Jiang Yi immediately asked: ”Now can you tell me, what's going on?”

Jian Wei didn't get the chance to answer the question when the phone rang. Just as she was about to pick up the call, Jiang Yi's hand was faster as he took the phone away and pressed the speaker on.

Zhou Peipei's familiar voice came through: ”Jian Wei, I've told you not to play this kind of game with me! I dare you to go to the red carpet! I'll really admire you if you have the guts to go! You think you can tell me those words and force me to come back? Keep dreaming!”

”Zhou laos.h.i.+.”Jiang Yi's voice was cold.

Zhou Peipei was surprised for a moment before she let out a laugh: ”Jiang laos.h.i.+, turns out you're also there. Oh, really powerful ah. You don't come forward yourself, but send a little girl to go against me. Good for you!”

Jian Wei: ”I've told you, this thing has nothing to do with him, it's my own decision!”

”If it weren't for him, would you dare to threaten me?! Even if you had ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare!”

Jiang Yi clenched the phone in his hand as he suddenly understood the situation right now.

He stared hard at Jian Wei as he tried hard to understand the girl's thoughts. Was it really just for him that she could do this much?

Zhu Jing took the phone from his hand, ”Peipei, where are you? Are you nearby?!”

She knew that since Jian Wei had made such a threat, Zhou Peipei certainly couldn't let the matter go that easily. She was certainly going to be near the scene and wait to see in the end who was going to throw in the towel first, her or Jian Wei.

The end of the red carpet ceremony was in 10 minutes. They didn't have enough time!

When Zhou Peipei heard her voice, her tone became colder, ”Jing jie, sure enough, you are also in this thing. Good, really good! For Jiang Yi's sake, you really can resort to all means to scheme against me. Hey, don't tell me you guys are really having an affair? I've been curious about this matter for so many years&h.e.l.lip;”

”Zhou Peipei!” Zhu Jing angrily shouted. She had been married for so many years and the relations.h.i.+p between her husband and her was so harmonious. Even if she had ignored the rumor before, hearing the accusation coming out from Zhou Peipei's mouth was unacceptable.

”Don't be so loud. Even if you shout louder, I'm still not coming back,” ridiculed Zhou Peipei.

The phone call was disconnected as silence fell inside the car.

Zhu Jing rubbed her temple in irritation. Lai Xiao Shuang looked more irritated that her. Initially she had wanted to get this matter solved to prove her capability to Zhu Jing. She didn't expect that Zhu Jing and the others would suddenly appear, and Zhou Peipei would be so angry that she simply didn't give her the opportunity to negotiate things. Her plan was completely disrupted!

She had carefully discussed with Jian Wei thousands of lines on the way here, and in the end, she didn't even manage to say a word. Lai Xiao Shuang suddenly felt that she was too naïve; she really didn't have the ability to handle a crisis.

Jian Wei lifted up her hand as if trying to appease everybody, ”Don't worry, don't panic. Give the phone to me. I'll think of a way. There must be a way&h.e.l.lip;”

She suddenly took a sharp breath. Zhu Jing had carelessly dropped the phone in her hand, causing it hit her toes. Jiang Yi bent over to pick up the phone and put it on her palm before he held her hand and said: ”Don't panic.”

His tone was flat, impossible to distinguish whether he was happy or angry. Jian Wei's calm front began to puncture as her expression turned soft. She withdrew her hand from his hold and with her head down, said: ”I'm sorry&h.e.l.lip;”

”Why are you apologizing?” asked Jiang Yi.

”I failed to get her to come back, and also made her became angrier&h.e.l.lip;”

”How is it your fault that she's not coming back?” He paused before he added, ”You concern yourself to take responsibility like this?”

Jian Wei bit her lips, her voice getting lower, ”I feel that we definitely can't just sit still. Since there are other ways that we can try, it's possible to solve this crisis&h.e.l.lip;”

She used the word 'we', very spontaneously a.s.signing herself to his side. After so many years, it was still the same. No matter what kind of negative news he encountered, she would always be the one to break through the enemy lines for him.

Jiang Yi's eyes slightly shook. Jian Wei was looking up at him, her eyes filled with remorse, ”But it seems like I was too naïve. I haven't done anything right and I've made your situation worse. Today, I even offended Zhou laos.h.i.+. Later, she will continue to give you trouble. I'm sorry that I've caused you harm&h.e.l.lip;”

Looking at her, Jiang Yi suddenly remembered the night when they first met. It was also inside the car, when the girl who was obviously trembling, still bravely looked at him and said, ”No matter what you do, I'll always support you. A Yi, as long as you're happy&h.e.l.lip;”

At that time, she had shed tears.

His heartstrings were gently struck, like a flower floating down a lake in March.

Jiang Yi raised his hand, his index finger touching her cheek.Jian Wei's eyes opened wide in shock.

Jiang Yi didn't seem to find that his action was ambiguous as he stared at the fingertip that was on her tear mole, where there were traces of tears being held back, ”You've grown up. This time you didn't cry.”

His words didn't make any sense to Jian Wei as she blankly stared at him. Jiang Yi didn't give her any time to react as he lightly said, ”I think you have misunderstood something.”

After getting the girl's attention, he smiled as he said, ”You didn't think that I am really afraid of Zhou Peipei, right? That if she decides to mess with me, then I can't do anything about it?”

Uh, don't tell me it's not like that? Zhou Peipei's popularity was no joke! Didn't gossip spread easily over a coffee talk in this circle?!

Jiang Yi's smile deepened a bit. From the lips to the eyes, the whole person was glowing with a strange look. Just like when a lamp was turned on, the light through the gla.s.s illuminated to the earth.

He crooked his head and smiled as he said, ”Jing jie, there's something that I didn't tell you. In fact, the first time you mentioned that you wanted her to pretend to be Zhou Peipei, I thought that this idea was the most interesting scenario that I had encountered this year.”

Zhu Jing's brows wrinkled as she gave Lai Xiao Shuang and Lin Hao a glance, unsure of what Jiang Yi was trying to say.

Zhu Jing: ”What do you mean?”

”Previously, I was scared that my little fan would be afraid, that's why I didn't agree. But since the little girl has so much courage, then it doesn't matter anymore.”

Jian Wei looked at him as she suddenly understood his intention, her heart suddenly missing a beat.

Jiang Yi touched her head and said, ”Don't be afraid, we haven't lost.”
