When reporters surrounded Chen Jie's teammates and coaches, trying to get some useful information from them, Chen Jie had already left the arena.
The team's arrangement is to have a night's rest in Cleveland tonight. Otherwise, they would have to fly twice a day and play a game, which would be too physically demanding for the players.
The game against the Milwaukee Bucks will be played every other day, so the team simply arranges to get up early tomorrow morning and then fly back to Chicago.
In other words, Chen Jie will stay in Cleveland tonight.
He originally planned to contact the Times reporter Ruth after returning to Chicago and find out from her whether the woman was Beyoncé.
But being upset all night today, Chen Jie couldn't wait any longer.
So he returned to the locker room, dismissed the media, took a quick shower, changed his clothes and left the arena alone.
Then, he called Ruth and asked her if she was free tonight. He wanted to treat Ruth to a meal.
In fact, Ruth already knew about the relationship between Beyoncé and Chen Jie at this time.
During the competition, Chen Jie's performance was so sluggish that Beyoncé couldn't control her worries. Her mood was completely written on her face.
Ruth had long suspected whether Beyoncé knew Chen Jie. This time, seeing Beyoncé's concern for Chen Jie, Ruth finally couldn't hold back her suspicion, and she began to question Beyoncé.
Beyoncé originally didn’t want to tell Ruth about her relationship with Chen Jie, but soon, many of Beyoncé’s friends knew about Chen Jie’s existence, and these friends all knew Ruth. If Ruth really
Want to know. She has many ways to know.
It's okay if she doesn't become suspicious. Once she becomes suspicious, if she asks people in Durham City, there are really not many people who don't know about the relationship between Beyoncé and Chen Jie.
Beyoncé saw that Ruth kept asking questions, and it was obvious that the decision was almost confirmed. As soon as Beyoncé admitted it, she knew that she couldn't hide it from Ruth.
It might be better to tell Ruth herself. If Ruth found out by herself, Beyoncé was afraid that Ruth would also hate herself.
So, Beyoncé chose to confess.
I heard from Beyoncé that when Chen Jie was playing basketball at Duke University, he actually lived in Beyoncé's house, and the two of them had a very good relationship. Even though Ruth had been mentally prepared for it, she was still surprised.
She really didn't expect that the big star she had a grudge against would actually have such a past with Beyoncé!
This is all such a coincidence.
Immediately, Ruth asked: "Beyoncé, since you and Jayshawn know each other, why have I never heard of you?"
Hearing Ruth's question, Beyoncé showed a trace of resentment on her face: "When I met you, he had already come to Chicago. After that, we never contacted each other again. Now, I don't
Do you know if we are friends?"
Speaking of this, Beyoncé showed a wry smile and shrugged at Ruth.
The meaning is already very obvious, that is, I don’t even know if we are still friends, so why am I telling you what he is doing.
After hearing Beyoncé's words, Ruth had her own understanding in her heart.
She observed the expression on Beyoncé's face when she talked about Chen Jie, as well as the vague things in her tone, and guessed that maybe Beyoncé and Chen Jie were boyfriend and girlfriend before!
Although Beyoncé only emphasized that she and Chen Jie have always been friends, Ruth had her own understanding.
In her opinion, when Beyoncé talked about Chen Jie, her face always had resentment and longing. How could this feeling be felt with a friend?
Furthermore, if they were friends, why did the two of them live together when Chen Jie was at Duke University?
There is only one explanation, and that is that Beyoncé and Chen Jie were once together.
After that, the reason why Beyoncé no longer mentioned Chen Jie to herself was because Chen Jie came to Chicago. After arriving in such a big city, he was attracted by the feasting and entertainment here, and then coupled with his increase in income, he came into contact with
There must be more women. He must have changed his mind and abandoned Beyoncé.
Beyoncé was abandoned and dumped, how could she take the initiative to bring up this sad incident?
The more Ruth thought about it, the more she felt that her analysis was quite correct.
In her heart, she disliked Chen Jie more and more.
A heartless man!
Ruth cursed Chen Jie in her heart.
He must be a playboy, otherwise, why would he seduce himself after seeing his beauty?
Yes, until now, Ruth still didn’t know that the reason why Chen Jie dated her was not that he was interested in her at all, but just wanted to know something about Beyoncé from her mouth. She still had wishful thinking.
Chen Jie just wants to go to bed with him.
Between the previous grudges, the Beyoncé incident, and Chen Jie taking the initiative to hook up with her, it can be said that Ruth already dislikes Chen Jie to the extreme.
In her heart, Ruth secretly vowed that this time, she would give Chen Jie a good deal, teach him a lesson, and vent her anger on herself and Beyoncé.
Her idea of framing Chen Jie became more and more intense.
Of course she didn't know that her analysis could certainly explain why Beyoncé was so disappointed when talking about Chen Jie, but Beyoncé's tone and expression actually had another explanation, that is, Beyoncé had been stuck in the relationship with Chen Jie.
Jie is in unrequited love and can't help himself, so he feels sad about it.
Ruth didn't know all this, and Beyoncé didn't say it because she didn't think it was necessary.
Ruth insisted on her analysis and did not know the truth. Her misunderstanding of Chen Jie became deeper and deeper.
After the game, Ruth didn't even go to interview Chen Jie. She attended the press conference and asked Skiles a few questions and LeBron James a few questions. Ruth and Beyoncé prepared together.
Back to the hotel.
At this moment, Chen Jie's call came.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Ruth if she had time tonight.
A sneer appeared on Ruth's face.
Sure enough, the fox's tail is exposed?
At this time, Ruth became more and more convinced of her judgment.
Chen Jie must want to go to bed with him.
Otherwise, why did he call today even though he had promised to go back to Chicago to meet again? Moreover, it was still so late after the game, nearly ten o'clock?
There is only one explanation, and that is that Chen Jie was lonely tonight and wanted to be alone, and then he thought of himself.
At this time, it was obvious that there was nothing else to do except go to the hotel and go to bed.
As Ruth thought this, she hated Chen Jie even more.
The misunderstanding deepened again.
Thinking about her plan, it was of course impossible for Ruth to refuse Chen Jie. She told Chen Jie in a voice as calm and without disgust as possible that she had time tonight and asked Chen Jie what he wanted to do.
Chen Jie didn't think much and directly asked Ruth if she could come out and waited for him at the entrance of the arena.
When Ruth heard Chen Jie's words and heard the anxiety in his tone, she became more firm in her judgment.
"Of course I have time, then just wait for me and I'll be there right away!" After Ruth said this to Chen Jie, she hung up the phone.
The sneer on her face became even stronger.
When many reporters were talking together tonight, they all speculated that Chen Jie's abnormal performance today was due to some relationship problems with Li Ming'er, and then they all decided to support Chen Jie in tomorrow's report.
Ruth was also present at the time, so of course she knew what these reporters were discussing.
In her opinion, if a player performs abnormally, he will basically get bombarded by the media immediately.
But why do the media still support Chen Jie when her performance is sluggish?
Is it because he is afraid that he will settle the score later?
What is this, bowing to power?
Ruth actually didn't support this attitude at the time, but on her own, in front of this group of seniors who had been in the media industry for many years, her words had little weight and she could only accept their opinions.
However, there was a sinister smile on Ruth's face. When my plan is completed tonight, it will be useless no matter how much the media supports you.
The entire United States will attack you after seeing my report. I firmly believe this.
Jayshawn, this time, I will definitely make you unlucky!
I want fans across the United States to know that the reason for your abnormal performance is not for any other bullshit reason, but simply because your mind is not on the arena, but on women!
Beyonce next to her has been paying attention to the changes in Ruth's expression.
She saw Ruth sneering, angry and angry, and couldn't help but wonder who made the call just now.
"What's wrong Ruth?" Beyoncé asked with concern.
Ruth, who was somewhat stunned by Beyoncé's words, glanced at her and thought to herself that Beyoncé still doesn't give up on Chen Jie. If he tells her his plan, she will definitely be soft-hearted and not support him.
.
At that time, she couldn't persuade her, so she might inform Chen Jie.
Then all my plans would be ruined.
Thinking of this, Ruth smiled and said: "A friend asked me to go out tonight. Beyoncé, I won't accompany you back to the hotel. See you at the airport tomorrow!"
"What friend?" Beyoncé was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of the plan that Ruth accidentally mentioned when she was in Chicago that day, and couldn't help but worry: "It can't be Jay? Ruth, please, don't be so right.
Jay. He’s under enough pressure!”
Hearing Beyoncé's words, Ruth smiled in her heart. Sure enough, she would still be soft-hearted.
Ruth, who had already made up her mind, smiled and said: "How is it possible? We agreed to go back to Chicago for dinner. How could it be him? Don't worry, Beyoncé, I didn't know you were friends with him before, so I thought
That's what I did. Now, I already know your relationship, even if I don't give him face, I will give you face!"
Hearing what Ruth said, Beyoncé felt relieved. (To be continued...)
