I Am Rich

43

It was the first time for Guan Zhiyi to take care of a drunk person. Fortunately, Qi Chengyan was still able to walk, and the car was not far away.

She helped Qi Chengyan to sit in the passenger seat and then got into the driver's seat.

"Put on your seat belt." Guan Zhiyi said.

No one answered.

Guan Zhiyi turned her head, and saw Qi Chengyan lazily leaning against the car window, staring at her motionlessly. The lights in the car are dim, his eyes look like it is filled with drunkenness, light and faint, seeming to blend in the dim light of night.

She had never seen Qi Chengyan like this, so she didn't dare to look more. She felt that the more she looked at him, the more flustered she became.

"Put on your seat belt, do you hear me?" Guan Zhiyi said stiffly while holding the steering wheel.

"Hmm... I heard it." Qi Chengyan answered, then slowly pulled the seat belt and fastened it.

"Then I'm driving home. I'll drive very slowly. You can sleep first."

Qi Chengyan supported his head with his hand, "I'm watching you, don't panic."

Guan Zhiyi started the car, muttering in a low voice, "If you watch me, I'll be more panicked......"

"What."

"It's nothing, I said you don't need to direct me if you are drunk. I still preferably believe in myself."

Qi Chengyan laughed lightly, "Oh, then you pay attention to safety."

"I know."

Because of the slow speed, it took her forty minutes to drive the original twenty-minute journey. After entering the neighborhood, she turned off the car in front of Qi Chengyan's house, then went around to the passenger side and opened the door.

"We're home."

Qi Cheng Yan said 'Oh', unfastened his seat belt, then extended his hand to her,"Come here."

Guan Zhiyi glanced at the two hands that he handed over, a little confused,"What?"

"Bend down…."

Guan Zhiyi realized that he wanted her to help him, so she bent down and got closer, but as soon as she got closer her whole shoulder was taken over by his arms.

"Ah--"

She couldn't even stand steadily in this position. After her shoulders were hooked over, her entire body followed suit and fell on top of him!

She fell into a practically embracing position.

 

Guan Zhiyi felt like her breath was about to stop, she was surrounded with his breath all around her, it's warm and heart-throbbing that it made her flustered.

"You, you, you, don't pull me! I'll call someone to help!"

Even though he was pretending to be drunk, Qi Chengyan had never thought about bringing her over to his embrace like this. He didn't expect the little girl to be so weak, she couldn't stand steadily even when he was barely exerting much strength on her.

At this moment, he can smell a good fragrance at the tip of his nose, her hair fluttering over, causing a wave of ripples. He was somewhat reluctant to let go, said in a subdued voice,"It's late at night, don't yell. We can't disturb Grandpa."

"Then let go first..."

Qi Chengyan hummed, let go and got up. But soon, he put his arm around her shoulders again, almost half of his body weight was placed on her

Guan Zhiyi: "..."

Qi Chengyan: "Let's go back quietly."

Guan Zhiyi was so pressed that she almost fell over,"But, but you are very heavy!"

Qi Chengyan hugged her, his mouth overflowing with a smile, "Well, I believe you can."

Guan Zhiyi: "..."

You can, my ass!

Qi Chengyan wouldn't let her go, and she also couldn't just shout at the door, which would disturb Elder Qi. Hence she collected her energy, and dragged Qi Chengyan in.

When the two of them were about to go upstairs, the aunt in the family found them, "Aiya, what's wrong, he's drunk?"

Because Guan Zhiyi has been exerting her strength, her face became red,"Yes, auntie."

"I'll do it, Miss Guan, leave him to me."

Guan Zhiyi hummed, reached out to pull down Qi Chengyan's arm, but she had tried to pull it down twice and still couldn't get it off her!

"...... Forget it, auntie, you hold his other side, let's carry him up together."

"Eh ah, alright." Auntie held the other side of Qi Chengyan, while going upstairs she said,"How much did he drink ah, this young master can drink quite well, he actually able to get drunk today…."

"He probably drank a little too much."

After they finished helping Qi Chengyan back to his room, the aunt hastily said,"I'll go downstairs to pour some hot water."

"Okay."

Guan Zhiyi didn't manage to take Qi Chengyan's coat off, so she directly pulled the quilt to cover him,"Hoo...I'm exhausted."

"Xiao Wu."

"Yes?" Guan Zhiyi saw Qi Chengyan staring at her with slightly open eyes, "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

Qi Chengyan looked at her for a moment and slowly said, "I'll come to you tomorrow after dinner, we'll drive for a few more laps."

"No need, you all—"

"I'm going to sleep, brother's head felt very dizzy."

"......"

Qi Chengyan closed his eyes, not giving her the slightest room to refuse.

Guan Zhiyi's words were blocked, she stayed in the room for a while, before turning around and walking out.

"Miss Guan, are you leaving?" When she walked downstairs, she ran into auntie who came up with hot water.

Guan Zhiyi nodded, "He seems to be very drunk, please watch over him carefully." 

"I will."

Guan Zhiyi went downstairs and left, and the auntie pushed the door of the room with a glass in her hand. But after pushing the door in, she saw that Qi Chengyan, who was originally lying on the bed, was already sitting up. She was taken aback for a moment,"Are you okay?"

Qi Chengyan didn't answer, only asked,"Has Xiaowu left?"

"She already left."

"Um."

"Would you like some sobering soup?"

"No need." Qi Chengyan got up and took the glass from auntie's hand, "I'm okay, you can go out."

Auntie retreated and closed the door for him.

Qi Chengyan took a sip of water and walked towards the window. The window was facing the direction of the front door, he could see the car on the road with its lights on being started.

Qi Chengyan looked at the figure in the driver's seat and smiled faintly.

____

Guan Zhiyi stayed at home for a whole week, during which Qi Chengyan was almost always taking her out to practice driving. In fact, by the third day, she was able to fully get used to it, but Qi Chengyan said that she was still afraid when driving, and needed to train her heart's ability to withstand it.

On Monday a week later, she finally didn’t have to go to practice. Because she has to attend a banquet for a jewelry brand. In the afternoon, she drove away with the car she often practiced in and went straight back to her small apartment.

At four o'clock, Liu Yun came to the door with the makeup artists. Guan Zhiyi changed clothes and put on makeup at home, took the car to the venue of the brand's banquet.

When their group arrived, the red carpet hadn't started yet, so all the artists were waiting backstage. Guan Zhiyi was wearing her dress and sitting on the side playing with her phone in boredom, when suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder,"Zhiyi."

Guan Zhiyi looked back and saw her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time,"Feifei! You're also here today."

"Right." Song Qiaofei said, "I didn't expect you to be here too, I rushed over when I saw you from afar just now."

Song Qiaofei recently filmed an ancient costume drama. It has been three months since she joined the filming. During this period, she has never been back to the apartment, hence the two have not seen each other for a long time.

"Had I known that you were also present, I would have gone to look for you earlier."

Song Qiaofei said, "Why? Do you miss me that much."

Guan Zhiyi pulled her to sit down beside her,"Yeah, how is it, how are you doing in the crew lately?"

"Well….that Ge Siying always finds fault with me everyday. She's not very good at acting, but there's a lot going on. She has people backing her and everyone in the crew offered support for her, so I don't dare to provoke her. Hey, anyway, it’s about to be finished."

Guan Zhiyi frowned.

She has heard Song Qiaofei complaining about her once or twice in WeChat before, Ge Siying was not happy when the director praising Song Qiaofei's acting skills, and was even more unhappy because Qiaofei makeup and hair looked better on camera than her own.....Afterwards, when these little things started to pile up, she always bully Qiaofei in the set.

Song Qiaofei: "Hey, let's not talk about it, it's boring to talk about her. Tell me what you've been doing recently."

Guan Zhiyi naturally became much more famous than Song Qiaofei because of "Dawn and the Wild" popularity. Even so, the two of them have known each other since their debut, they understand each other and sincerely wish each other well, they don't alienate each other just because one of them has become popular. The two talked for a long time before they reluctantly parted when the staff informed them about the start of the red carpet.

The red carpet is not the only itinerary today. After the red carpet, the brand side also arranged a banquet, the banquet is not open for the public, there are no journalists or fans, only the upper-level staff and celebrities were invited.

This kind of banquet is a good time for celebrities to make friends with capital and pull in resources, they will be more attentive about this than to the red carpet.

After coming down from the red carpet, Guan Zhiyi returned to her dressing room.The banquet didn't officially start until later, they still had to wait for about an hour.

"See if you need to touch up your makeup." Liu Yun said.

The makeup artist came up and looked at it,"It's still alright, no need."

"Okay." Liu Yun said, "I will be very busy when the banquet starts. You can just follow me then."

Liu Yun already has a precise target and is ready to socialize. Guan Zhiyi is very familiar with this state of hers and nodded, "There is still about an hour left. I will go next door to find Feifei."

"Okay."

Song Qiaofei and her were in different dressing rooms, and it was boring to wait for an hour by herself, so Guan Zhiyi wanted to go over and chat to her. However, as soon as she entered the door, she found that the atmosphere seemed somewhat strange.

A dressing room is shared by about two or three artists, and this dressing room is shared by Song Qiaofei and Ge Siying. At this moment, she saw Song Qiaofei standing in front of Ge Siying, she didn't know what was being said, and Song Qiaofei was putting her head down, she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The staff at the side are either busy with their own affairs or just watching them, no one had any intention to come forward. Guan Zhiyi remembered that Song Qiaofei was often bullied by this person and walked straight over.

"Qiaofei, what's wrong?" Guan Zhiyi asked.

"Nothing is wrong." Song Qiaofei nudged Guan Zhiyi,"You go out and wait for me, I'll see you when I'm done dealing with this."

"Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it?" Ge Siying coldly snorted and said angrily,"I picked this dress carefully out of thousands other and brought it here, yet you just squandering all my time like that, there will be a banquet later, what do you want me to wear then?"

Guan Zhiyi listened to Ge Siying's words and glanced at her. Today she wore a floor-length white dress, there was a faint red mark at the end of the dress, which seemed to be a trace of lipstick.

But her dress has a lot of pleats, and it's actually invisible if you superficially cover it.

Song Qiaofei obviously did not dare to confront her, she apologized, "I didn't mean to, I accidentally dropped my lipstick, and did not expect you to suddenly walk over, so ......"

"What do you mean by that? You mean I am to blame for my own misfortune?"

Song Qiaofei turned her head and said dullly,"No."

Ge Siying looked at her for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Heh, Song Qiaofei, I think you're doing it on purpose, didn't you? I came to this banquet today, and you went to great lengths to get an invitation to come. I wear a white dress, and you also wear the same style as me. Why, is it because the director praised you more when filming, that you really think you can compare yourself with me? You are really shameless, did you also deliberately drop the lipstick on my dress?"

Many staff nearby were listening attentively, and her friends were also present. Song Qiaofei's self-esteem was gone, and she incredulously defended herself,"I didn't know you were here until I came to this banquet. And I also don't know the color of the dress you're going to wear. As for the lipstick, it was really an accident, I sincerely apologize to you. Or we can think of another way, I see there is only a little red mark, I'll help you apply some white paint on it. Your dress is so big that you won't see--"

"If you say you can't see it, will it be invisible?"Ge Siying was extremely angry, picked up a cup of juice and splashed it over,"Then I can also say, if you're like this, you won't see it too!"

Song Qiaofei was wearing a white dress, so when it was splashed, her dress was immediately obsolete. The juice went down the hem of her dress, dripped onto the floor. At this point, the people in the dressing room could no longer ignore them, they all looked over in amazement.

However, they did not dare to take any other action. Ge Siying was known for her arrogance in private. Since she is deliberately targeting Song Qiaofei, no one would dare to meet her head-on and offend her.

Song Qiaofei looked down at the dress she had managed asked her agent to borrow for her, her eyes turned red, "You--"

She was just about to raise her head to say something, when she saw someone picking up another glass of juice on the makeup table, brushed it, and without hesitation poured it all over Ge Siying.

From the chest to the hem of the skirt, it was instantly stained, even more dramatic than the one on Song Qiaofei's body! 

Song Qiaofei froze, she couldn't care less about how angry she was now, she stiffly turned her head to look at Guan Zhiyi who was still holding the glass in her hand,"!!!"

Not only Song Qiaofei, but everyone else in the room was also frozen.

Naturally, they all knew Guan Zhiyi, who had recently been on fire because of "Dawn and the Wild" and was considered a rising star. However, Ge Siying is not an easy target either, although her acting skills are not there and she doesn't have any representative work, her resources have always been very good. The fact that she has someone backing her was an open secret, only few people in the circle dare to touch her.

They did not expect that Guan Zhiyi would dare to ...... pour juice all over her.

"You ...... you ......" Ge Siying glared at Guan Zhiyi, her blood rushing up, "How dare you to deliberately stain my dress!"

Guan Zhiyi looked at her expressionlessly, put the glass aside, and said coldly,"Aren't you deliberately staining other people's dresses too?"

_____

There are different dressing rooms on different floors at the venue, the dressing room for the guests invited by the brand tonight were on the upper floor.

At this time, in a private room no.502, the host, Song Li, is greeting two close friends while drinking tea.

"Although this is a new jewellery brand, it has been selling well overseas. Today is considered a publicity for the official introduction of this brand. What do you think, Yuanbai? I made you invest in it before, I'm not cheating you, am I?"

Guan Yuanbai took a sip of tea and said lightly, "It's quite okay."

"Right, anyway, we just have to wait and receive the money now."Song Li said to another person, "Cheng Yan, are you interested to join us too? In the future, granted that the three of us cooperate with this brand, I can let out ten percent of the shares for you to buy. You also know that in terms of advertising and marketing, your side has always been doing better."

Qi Chengyan did not directly refuse, he actually came today to understand about it in person, "Explain the details."

"Okay, it's—"

They discuss it in a serious manner.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, Song Li stopped talking, turned his head and said, "Come in."

After getting permission, a staff member pushed the door and walked in, nodded slightly to the three people present, then walked to Song Li's side,"Mr. Song, there is some trouble with Miss Ge and she is angry."

Song Li said, "What's wrong with her again?"

"Miss Ge had a conflict with someone in the dressing room. The dress that you gave to her was splashed with juice." The staff said, "Miss Ge is making a fuss now and asked me to call you over."

Song Li was a bit surprised, "Splashing juice on her in my turf? This person seems to have a lot of guts, you wait, I will go over immediately."

"Okay."

Qi Chengyan saw Song Li hurriedly put on his coat while smiling,"Miss Ge? Who?"

"My girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?" Qi Chengyan thought, "Last time when I ate with you, didn't you say that the one sitting next to Jiang Suizhou was your girlfriend?"

"That ah, I'm just talking nonsense, afraid that Guan Xi will think Jiang Suizhou has something going on with her."

"So what does Jiang Suizhou really have with her?" Guan Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and asked.

"How is it possible, you don't know your sister's temper?" Song Li muttered, "Even if Jiang Suizhou really had someone, he would never blatantly bring them around, unless he wants to shut down and blow up his own company."

Guan Yuanbai: "That makes sense."

"Well, I'll go downstairs and take care of it, you guys sit down first."

"Hmm."

Song Li got up and asked the staff member just now as he walked towards the door,"What's going on, who the hell has the guts to mess with my girlfriend."

"It's Miss Guan, Guan Zhiyi."

Song Li's footsteps stalled timidly, he turned his head to look at the staff in dismay,"Who did you say?"

"Guan Zhiyi, Yixing Entertainment's artist."

There was a sudden chill on Song Li's back, Guan Zhiyi? ?

He digested it slowly, and turned his head to look at the two people sitting inside…,those two had obviously already heard it, and are now looking at him with a cold and ...... horrible expression.

Song Li: "............"

The staff didn’t know what suddenly happened to their boss, and asked, “Mr. Song, are you still going?”

"Go! Of course go!" Song Li exclaimed, "I'd like to see who is -- so heroic, dare to provoke that shrew."

Staff: "????"

On the other side, inside the dressing room.

Liu Yun got the news and hurriedly came. When she came in, Guan Zhiyi and Song Qiaofei were standing on the side, while Ge Siying was making a fuss, cosmetics were scattered all over the floor.

Liu Yun was shocked, she hurriedly pulled Guan Zhiyi over,"How dare you--"

Song Qiaofei quickly said, "Sister Yun, Zhiyi can't hold her anger because of me. Don't blame her."

Song Qiaofei was also an artist from Yixing, just with another agent, but her agent has many artists under her hand that she can't follow Qiaofei at the banquet today.

Liu Yun has heard the whole story, seeing this scene at this moment, her brain began to hurt, she lowered her voice,"Guan Zhiyi, do you know what kind of person Ge Siying is? Mr.Song from today's brand is her boyfriend, and he spoiled her very much. It is estimated that this brand's spokesperson will be given to her. We still have to work with their side in the future. You, what did you do!"

Guan Zhiyi: "Sister Yun, you didn't see how she treated Qiao Fei just now."

"Even so, you can't just directly lay your hand on her." 

"But……"

"Let's do it this way, you come with me to apologize, then immediately leave when you're done. Leave the rest to me, I'll take care of it."Liu Yun pulled Guan Zhiyi to go over Ge Siying side. But before she could even move, a man entered the dressing room.

"Song Li--" Ge Siying walked past them while sobbing after seeing the man, her expression changed, she would definitely win the Best Actress Award if only she acted like this during filming.

Seeing this, the staff next to them felt sympathy for Guan Zhiyi. Everyone knew that Ge Siying has a very capable financial backer, one could not afford to offend her.

"Song Li, look, I can't even wear my dress out." Ge Siying tearfully pulled his arm, "It's all because of her, I just said a few words to her friend, and she just directly laid her hand on me! I couldn't even dodge---"

Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Song Li's eyes.

Ge Siying: "Why are you glaring at me, can't you see how I look right now!"

Song Li took a deep breath, ignored her, and walked straight towards Guan Zhiyi. He stood in front of her, looked her up and down,"Is everything okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"............"

There was silence in the dressing room.

The corner of Liu Yun's mouth twitched slightly, she glanced at Guan Zhiyi. Guan Zhiyi herself froze for a moment, she didn't expect Ge Siying's boyfriend to be Song Li.

"I'm fine." 

"That's good, that's good." Song Li breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Qiaofei, "Then your friend...oh my goodness, her dress is all stained ah."

Song Li scratched his hair and turned his head to a staff member next to him,"Xiao Liu! You immediately go and get a set of dresses for this lady to change."

"Eh eh, okay."

"Song Li!" Ge Siying stared at her boyfriend's attitude towards Guan Zhiyi in disbelief, "What's the matter with you, don't you see how I look right now, why did you still care about others?"

"Shut up!"

"You, do you like her?" Ge Siying was watched by so many people, and she almost lost her face,"Explain to me."

Song Li's face turned black for a moment,"Ge Siying! I told you to shut up, do you hear me?"

Song Li and Ge Siying have been together for a while now, and he had been spoiling her only because she was so good at pleasing him. He knew how capricious and arrogant she was in front of outsiders, but he didn't care, and even sometimes when she came to him to throw a tantrum and bad mouth someone, he would casually help her out.

He did not expect that this kind of approach has deceived her to forget who she is.

Song Li had a headache.

It's already bad for her to cause problems today, and she actually provoked Guan Zhiyi on top of that.

Other people might not know how many people are standing behind this girl, but he knew very well!

Song Li :"Quick apologize to Miss Guan!"

"She hasn't apologized to me yet." Ge Siying was about to cry as she spoke, "Song Li, are you having an affair with her! What kind of seduction trick has she done to you!"

"Miss Ge's remark was rather offensive to hear."Just then, the crowd saw two more men enter the door.

Ge Siying heard the voice and turned her head to look.

As Song Li's girlfriend, although she is not familiar with the two people who just came in, she had met them when she went out with Song Li in the past. One is Guan Yuanbai and the other is Qi Chengyan. After the previous meeting, she went back and showed off with the people in the circle, saying that she was hooked up with the wealthy circle of the imperial capital…

But why are they here today, and what does Qi Chengyan mean by that?

Ge Siying was a little confused, while Song Li, who was fully aware, felt like his head could explode when he saw the two coming in.

"Why did you guys come down ah."

Guan Yuanbai pulled his lips and slowly said, "Your girlfriend is so angry, I'm afraid my sister can't withstand it."

Huh?

Huh?!

Guan Yuanbai's light-hearted remark was like a bomb dropping on this dressing room, and with a loud bang everyone was completely stunned.

There were not many people present here, they were either the core staff of the artist or the internal staff of today's banquet. Naturally, they all recognized Guan Yuanbai, and knew exactly who this man was. He was a figure who they couldn't bear to provoke even more than Song Li.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to digest this amazing news for a while.

Actress Guan Zhiyi is actually the sister of Guan Yuanbai from the Guan family?

What kind of big gossip is this! ! !

Liu Yun and Song Qiaofei were also dumbfounded. In the end Liu Yun thought maybe she's not aware of it because she didn't care about Zhiyi before, and it probably similar to...god brother sort of stuff.

However, what Guan Yuanbai said afterwards broke her illusion, "Oh, right, do you still have any work left after the banquet? If not, go straight home with me."

Although Guan Zhiyi had no intention to deliberately distinguish her relationship with Guan Yuanbai, she didn't expect Guan Yuanbai to say such a thing all of sudden. She subconsciously looked at Liu Yun, and Guan Yuanbai also followed her line of sight,"Miss Liu, can my sister come home with me after the banquet is over?"

Liu Yun's breath caught in her throat, only after a while did she say, "She can ......"

"Okay, thanks."

Ge Siying's face stiffened, she really did not think she had kicked a hot iron plate. It's no wonder that even Song Li wouldn't dare to help her!

Ge Siying: "Song Li ......"

"Shouldn't Miss Ge apologize after saying those words to her?" Qi Chengyan's complexion had been bad since the moment he came in. His expression made everyone feel cautious when they saw it.

Ge Siying couldn't stand it anymore, "I, I..."

"You don't need to apologize to me. I also splashed juice all over you, anyway." Guan Zhiyi said, "I just want to tell you, Qiaofei is not someone that you can treat as you pleased!"

Song Qiaofei was moved and held her hand, "Zhiyi ......"

"Come on, let's go change first, you can't keep looking like this."

"Okay ......"
