I Am Rich

44

Guan Zhiyi and Song Qiaofei went out, while Liu Yun stayed behind to talk with the people on the scene first before she followed out.

Guan Yuanbai patted Song Li's shoulder, "Then I'll go first, you handle the follow-up."

Song Li saw him off, but when he turned around and saw Qi Chengyan still standing in the same place, his face immediately filled with misery again,"Big brother, you should also go and rest first. Don't worry, I will definitely make amends with Zhiyi later, I won't let her be wronged!"

Qi Chengyan snorted coldly and left.

After sending the two big shots away, Song Li breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people present,"You are not allowed to say a word about today's matter. If you let me hear anything outside, all of you don't even think about going back to work!"

The staff in the dressing room said yes one after another.

Song Li: "All right, everyone go out."

The crowd file out, leaving only Ge Siying and her assistant.

Song Li glanced at Ge Siying, her expression extremely bad, "You're really good at giving me trouble!"

Ge Siying who already knew the seriousness of the matter at this time said,"I, I don't know who Guan Zhiyi is, the internet says that she is just an ordinary person…"

"You believe in everything that is said on the Internet? The Internet also said that you are a once in a thousand years genuine natural beauty, yet don't you also know how many times you've got your appearance done?"  

Ge Siying's face turned green, but she didn't dare to lose her temper again.

She usually acted like a spoiled child and willful with Song Li because he was willing to indulge her, however, now that her benefactor is really angry, how can she dare to be capricious.

"I really didn't mean to......"

"You've messed with Guan Zhiyi, someone who you should not. Even I myself don't dare to touch someone from the Guan Family, yet you remunerate me with cursing all those profanity to her?!"Song Li glared at her,"Fuck, I still even have to clean up this mess on your behalf now."

"Song Li ......"

"Don't come to today's banquet, just go home." Song Li frowned, "And while you're at it, pack up your things and move them out of my house."

Ge Siying froze, immediately breaking down,"I don't want to!"

Song Li: "Okay, I'll leave that house for you then. I won't go there from now on.

Let's break up."

"I don't want to break up! That house, I don't want that house either!"

Song Li glanced at her, "You really don't want it?"

Ge Siying looked at Song Li's serious expression, it's evident that he really wanted to break up, she suddenly didn't dare to say resolutely,"I…."

Seeing her hesitation, Song Li sneered in his heart,"If you still want it, I'll let my assistant find you tomorrow, just say what you want to say to him."

After saying that he went out from the dressing room without dragging his feet at all. Anyway, this kind of hypocritical girlfriend is just a display to him.

On the other side, the staff had brought a new dress and told Song Qiaofei to go into the inner room to change.

Guan Zhiyi sat on a chair outside, waiting for her, and standing in front of her was Liu Yun who obviously wanted to say something.

"Okay, I admit that Guan Yuanbai is really my brother. I didn't say it before because it has nothing to do with my job. Besides, I've always been doing everything alone, my brother has never 

helped me, so... "

"So is this the reason why President Qi always treats you differently?"

Guan Zhiyi stiffened before nodding her head,"We've known each other for a long time and we were also neighbors. So yeah, that's why I told you before that we're not in that kind of relationship."

Liu Yun gulped, she suddenly felt the urge to do a brain massage and clear her mind,"Oh God…"

Liu Yun remained silent for a long time. Seeing her like this Guan Zhiyi thought that Liu Yun was trying to conceal her anger, thus she added,"Sister Yun, don't be upset, I think this…"

"I think this thing is simply too inconceivable. How could you, how could you-" Liu Yun pointed at her for a while yet couldn't say anything. She was so surprised that all of her words were eaten by a dog.

Thinking about everything that had happened before, Liu Yun felt that she was practically a moron. She can't believe that she actually used to think that Guan Zhiyi was the same as herself, climbing up from the bottom with difficulty. Ah right, she even used to constantly teach her about what to do as an actress with no background and powerful backer! 

Fuck! The person who she thought was Cinderella for a long time was originally a daughter of a well-renowned family in the imperial capital, the Guan Family???

Damn, she was the only person who climbed up from the bottom all along!

"Zhiyi, I'm done." Song Qiaofei came out from the inner rooms, she had changed into a pink and white dress.

Guan Zhiyi got up, facing her, "This one looks good!"

"Of course, this one is much higher in quality than my original dress ......" Song Qiaofei looked at her and said, "That, thank you for today. You have no idea, I was scared to death at that time, afraid that you would be targeted by Ge Siying because of this, but fortunately, it turns out that you…"

Guan Zhiyi said sheepishly, "I also didn't expect my brother to be here today."

"It's okay, I mean, you rarely talk about your family."

"Well... when I first debuted, my family didn't agree with me entering this circle, so I have been living outside by myself."

Song Qiaofei rubbed her chin and said earnestly, "Gee! Don't you think that I'm especially lucky?"

"Huh?"

"My best friend turned out to be a rich woman ah, even the extremely wealthy type at that?!"

Guan Zhiyi: "...Don't make such a fuss."

After the two of them joked around for a while, the banquet started outside.

When Guan Zhiyi, Song Qiaofei and Liu Yun went out together, they happened to come across Qi Chengyan.

He wore a dark suit today, tall and long-legged, his body shape was vividly adorned by the suit. Along the way, even the celebrities who have seen a lot of beautiful men in the entertainment circle can't help but look sideways.

"President Qi." Liu Yun greeted him first as he approached.

Qi Chengyan nodded slightly and looked at Guan Zhiyi, "Is everything all taken care of?"

Guan Zhiyi: "Yeah."

Qi Chengyan nodded, then told Liu Yun,"Song Li's side has something to say regarding a cooperation with this jewelry brand, you go talk to him."

Liu Yun's eyes lit up, "Okay."

After Liu Yun left, Song Qiaofei shot a glance at the two of them before hurriedly said,"Then I'll go over there and talk to my friend. Zhiyi, President Qi, I will go first."

"I'll look for you later."

Song Qiaofei: "Okay."

Guan Zhiyi didn't know what to say to Qi Chengyan, after both of them left. So she glanced behind him and asked casually, "What about my brother?"

"Chatting with other people."

"Oh... then what about you?"

"Looking for you."

Guan Zhiyi gave him an unexpected look, "Why are you looking for me…"

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?" Qi Chengyan asked with a faint smile in his words, "What did you eat tonight?"

"I haven't eaten yet."

Qi Chengyan: "Liu Yun didn't allow you to eat again?"

"You can't eat when you come to this kind of banquet."When Guan Zhiyi finished speaking, her eyes suddenly paused and landed on his tie. She didn't pay attention to it before, but when she closely observed it just now, this tie... seemed a bit familiar.

Qi Chengyan saw her looking straight at his collar, asked while lowering his gaze,"You noticed it?"

"It's the one you gave to me."Qi Chengyan was very casual. As he spoke, he voluntarily pulled out his tie as if he always wanted to give her a confirmation.

"Put, put it back!"Guan Zhiyi didn't expect him to wear the tie that she had given to him on this kind of formal occasion. Although she felt that it was pretty cute, if it was seen by others, it was enough to overthrow Qi Chengyan's image. 

Without saying a word, she started to help stuff it in, "Put it back quickly!"

Qi Chengyan lowered his eyes to look at her flustered face, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked,"Didn't you say that it suits me well, yet I'm not allowed to take it out?"

Guan Zhiyi's ears are a little red,"I'm just saying it casually, you really trust it?"

"I have always believes in your words"

Guan Zhiyi froze and raised her eyes to look at him.

She has always felt that Qi Chengyan's eyes were very beautiful, like a quiet lake in the deep of the night, seemingly calm, but the undercurrent was actually in turmoil. Sometimes when he calmly looked at her, she might even have the urge to jump straight in and just drown in them...

"What are you doing? I've seen you two whispering from afar." At this moment, someone walked over.

Guan Zhiyi suddenly returned to her senses, turning to the person who was speaking.

That person was Xiao Ran, who she hadn't seen for a while, Guan Zhiyi shook her head, "Nothing…"

Xiao Ran glanced at Qi Chengyan's tie. The tie had not been completely tucked back, so he pulled it out and said, "What's up with this tie?"

Guan Zhiyi: "Wait—"

It was too late, the tie had been completely taken out by Xiao Ran.

The tie dangled on his chest, and a white rabbit at the end of it was lying lazily on his stomach.

"Pfft ...... what is this ah, rabbit?" Xiao Ran looked at Qi Chengyan and scoffed nonchalantly,"My God, Young Master Qi, your taste is too unique, hahahaha how old do you think you are?"

Qi Chengyan calmly said,"Doesn't it look good?"

"Does this look good to you?!"

Qi Chengyan smiled in satisfaction,"I think it's pretty good looking, right Xiaowu?"

Guan Zhiyi glanced at Xiao Ran,"Of course...it looks good."

Xiao Ran squinted his eyes and seized it up again,"Zhiyi, are you serious?"

Guan Zhiyi glared at him,"I bought it! Of course I think it looks good!"

"Oh you bought it...Huh? You bought it?"

Qi Chengyan smiled slyly, slowly and methodically tucked the tie back in, he nonchalantly explained to him, "She bought it for me as a gift when she went abroad, it's the only one in the world."

Xiao Ran was stung by Qi Chengyan's expression, with a sad look on his face he said,"Zhiyi you are too much, Why didn't you think of me when you're buying a gift? I also want one ah."

Guan Zhiyi paused, "No, didn't you just said that it's ugly? Why do I have to bring you one now? You're too good at going back on your words."

"That's different." Xiao Ran said with a smile, "If you're the one who bought it, it will look good either way." 

Guan Zhiyi: "..."

Qi Chengyan's expression darkened.

Xiao Ran turned a blind eye on him, added, "Oh, by the way, Zhiyi, you come with me, I remember that I have something I want to tell you."

It just so happened that Guan Zhiyi also wanted to properly ask Xiao Ran what had gotten into him during this period of time, so she nodded and went over, but before she could even take a step forward, her hand was grabbed.

She turned her head to look at Qi Chengyan who suddenly pulled her back,"Huh?"

There was no reason to let her stay, he just had a fleeting thought that he's not willing to let her go with Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran glanced at Qi Chengyan, then smiled, "Cheng Yan, can you lend your sister to me for a while?"

Qi Chengyan looked at him without saying a word. 

The two looked at each other, the atmosphere was weird.

Guan Zhiyi was puzzled, looked at Xiao Ran and then Qi Chengyan.

Xiao Ran withdrew his gaze from Qi Chengyan and smiled at her, "Let's go."

"Mm." Guan Zhiyi pulled Qi Chengyan's hand away, "I'll go first then."

Qi Chengyan: ".... Xiao Wu."

"I want to say something to him." Guan Zhiyi seemed eager to go with Xiao Ran, she didn't wait for him to say anything, and just followed Xiao Ran directly.

One person was tall and one person was short, they soon walked far away.

Qi Chengyan lowered his eyes, staring at his empty palm, his heart seemed to be tightly entangled in iron wire, he felt cold and suffocated.

He confusedly thought that he used to always win before. No matter what time, the little girl would always be unconditionally inseparable from his side and would not be willing to leave him.

But, he actually started to lose now…

She no longer clung to him, she also no longer coquettishly joked around him. Other people can attract her attention and take her away.

This realization made Qi Chengyan feel a tinge of pain.

And under this kind of agony, he had to admit that he was addicted to the feeling of being around her.

He was so addicted that he didn't want to lose her in any way.
