Chapter 1693 1693, I realized that I am not in love with you
Xiao Muyou had lunch and did not work immediately. She did not forget her mother's phone number. She paced back and forth in the office with her mobile phone. In the end, she had no idea what to say to Qiao Muyi.
Just at this time, Qiao Muyi's phone call came. Xiao Muyou hesitated for a moment, wondering if her mother had called Qiao Muyi. After thinking about it, she immediately connected the call.
"Hey, Mu Yi, what's going on?"
"Why, I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"
Qiao Muyi's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone. For a moment, Xiao Muyou didn't know how to answer. It was clearly agreed last night, but Qiao Muyi didn't seem to take her words to heart.
Fortunately, Qiao Muyi spoke again.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business. My mother called me just now. Next week is Aunt Yingxi and Uncle Snian's birthday party. My mother asked me to accompany her there. I just want to ask you,
Can I?"
After hearing this, Xiao Muyou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't his mother calling Qiao Muyi, there was no need to be too nervous. But since it was Aunt Qian's call, it was possible that his mother and Qiao Muyi's mother had already discussed it.
After thinking about it, Xiao Muyou told Qiao Muyi what his mother said on the phone.
"My mother and Aunt Qian may bring up the matter between us. I was just about to call you to discuss how to tell them that we are no longer together, and it must be resolved as soon as possible before returning to Los Angeles."
This time it was Qiao Muyi's turn to be silent on the other end of the phone. Obviously, he was not willing, but Xiao Muyou took the initiative to mention it, so he could only accept it. Even if this fact was uncomfortable, he should have known it long ago.
It's just a play.
"Let me just say that I think we are not suitable and break up peacefully."
Even at this time, Qiao Muyi is still protecting Xiao Muyou.
Xiao Muyou was very moved after hearing this, but she couldn't accept it because she had already felt sorry for Qiao Muyi, so she couldn't let Qiao Muyi take the blame for her now.
"Qiao Muyi, you don't have to help me like this every time. I have already thought about how to say it. It's just that we need to implement the right words to avoid any flaws."
Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"What are you going to say?"
"I just said that I realized that I didn't fall in love with you. It was because I let down your sincerity."
Hearing this, Qiao Muyi didn't know how to respond, and finally said with a wry smile.
"This is really true, Xiao Muyou, I find that you women are quite ruthless sometimes."
Yes, after so many months of companionship and dedication, even a stone should be warmed by it, but with Xiao Muyou, everything seems to be of no use. Not even a corner of that heart has been given to him.
Hearing Qiao Muyi's words, Xiao Muyou didn't know how to respond for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing else he could say except saying sorry. For a while, both parties were silent.
Finally, it was Qiao Muyi who spoke to break the awkwardness between each other. Even through the phone, you could hear his lonely sigh.
"Just do as you say, and I will cooperate."
"Thank you, Qiao Muyi."
"Can you stop saying thank you? Xiao Muyou, I just hope you can be happy. If you really decide to be with Mr. Lei, I think your family will be very sad."
"Qiao Muyi, actually I haven't decided whether to be with him or not. I just don't want to deceive myself."
Xiao Muyou told the truth. She remembered Feng Beichen's words very clearly. Lei Yan and they were not from the same world. The most important thing was that she could not accept a man who ran away from love now because such love was too fragile.
Hearing what Xiao Muyou said, Qiao Muyi felt heartbroken again. Well, it seemed that he had never really been considered by this woman. Then, he changed the topic because he really didn't want to continue this sad topic.
"Can I still go to the birthday party? Otherwise, I can find an excuse to postpone it."
After all, the Xiao family thought that he would be with Xiao Muyou. If they were questioned all the time when they got there, both of them would be very embarrassed.
However, Xiao Muyou is very free and easy. Putting aside her relationship with Qiao Muyi, the Xiao family has a good relationship with the Qiao family and the Liang family.
"It's okay. If you want to come, just come. Don't worry about me."
"Then will we still be friends in the future?"
Qiao Muyi thought of Xiao Muyou saying last night not to meet each other for a while, and now Qiao Muyi asked anxiously.
Xiao Muyou hesitated for a moment and then replied.
"Of course we are friends. We have known each other for so many years and have been friends for a long time, haven't we?"
Qiao Muyi smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he was alone at this moment and no one would see him no matter how ugly his expression was. Yes, they had known each other for many years, but this woman had forgotten about him.
Xiao Muyou felt relieved after hanging up the phone. Qiao Muyi's matter was finally resolved, but now she had to consider when to tell her family that she and Qiao Muyi were not together, so that she could have a few more days of peace.
, Xiao Muyou decided to wait a few days. As for her mother's call, let's deal with it first.
It was another busy afternoon. When it was time to get off work, Xiao Muyou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the documents on the table were no longer piled up like a mountain.
"Mr. Xiao, it's time to get off work, why don't you leave?"
A little after 5:30, Chen Li opened the door and walked in. Seeing Xiao Muyou still reviewing documents, she reminded her that she knew Xiao Muyou would not work overtime unless the documents were urgent.
Xiao Muyou heard the sound, looked at the time, and then closed the document.
"Let's go, get off work. Oh, by the way, are there any auditions you want to attend tomorrow?"
"Yes, it's the audition for "Tian Xing Jue". Oh, by the way, the Feng Group also participated in the investment this time and will send representatives there tomorrow."
Chen Li told Xiao Muyou the news he got, and Xiao Muyou was still a little curious. In the past year, Feng Group has participated in the investment of several S-level works by Yaohua Media.
At present, the income seems to be very good, and because of the participation of a well-capitalized group like the Feng Group, the quality of these works has also been greatly improved, and the response to the several currently aired has been very good.
This "Tian Xing Jue" is the IP of Yaohua Cultural Creation. Although Yaohua Cultural Creation is a subsidiary of Yaohua Media, it became financially independent after Xiao Muyou took over, so Yaohua Cultural Creation can also participate in investment.
.
This time "Tianxing Jue" is jointly invested by Yaohua Media, Yaohua Cultural Creation and Feng Group. Because there are many special effects in the later stage, the total investment in this drama is about 250 million.
You must know that this is just a TV series. Normal capital would not dare to make such a large investment, so the casting of this drama is also very cautious. It must have both traffic and acting skills. No, there will be an audition tomorrow.
At the meeting, not only the director, screenwriter and producer came together, but the three investors also sent representatives.
Originally, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries did not need Xiao Muyou to be present in person, but this drama is the largest investment made by Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries in recent years. In addition, Xiao Muyou himself is the author of the novel "Tianxing Jue"
I am a loyal fan, so I decided to go to the audition in person.
At this time, Xiao Muyou heard Chen Li's words and didn't think much about it, but asked.
"Do you know who the Feng Group sent?"
"I don't know, but the last few times it was Director He from the newly established media department of the Feng Group who came forward. I guess he will be the one this time."
Xiao Muyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Only she knew why she had such a reaction.
After that, Xiao Muyou left the office and went downstairs with Chen Li.
"Mr. Xiao, is that Mr. Lei's car?"
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Chen Li pointed at the black car parked outside the building. Xiao Muyou suddenly remembered the text message Lei Yan sent to herself at noon. How could she forget about it? Now enter the elevator
is there time?
Obviously, Lei Yan would not give Xiao Muyou a chance to escape, and Chen Li was also extremely smart at this time. He immediately realized something and made an excuse before the approaching Lei Yan could speak.
"Mr. Xiao, I've made an appointment with someone to have dinner with, so I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Chen Li glanced at Lei Yan, showed a meaningful smile, and then left in a hurry.
Xiao Muyou glanced at Lei Yan and said angrily.
"What are you here for?"
"Didn't I send you a message? I told you to pick you up from get off work tonight and have dinner with you later."
Xiao Muyou frowned and said something.
"Did not notice."
After hearing this, Lei Yan smiled slightly and gave a kind reminder.
"Mu You, but my text message shows that it has been read."
Xiao Muyou was stunned. Well, she forgot that the software had this function. Sure enough, her IQ would drop when she met this man. However, she did not intend to let Lei Yan get his wish, so she refused directly.
"No need, I'll drive myself."
"It's okay. I know you're driving. I'll find a driver for you and ask him to drive back later. Let's go. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook it for you."
With that said, Lei Yan reached out to help Xiao Muyou get her bag, but Xiao Muyou took a step back and said.
"Lei Yan, can't you see that I'm rejecting you? There's no need for you to do this, it's useless."
Lei Yan had long known that this would be the case. He had a slight smile on his face, and his baby face no longer had the sharpness and coldness of the past, but instead was as warm as a spring breeze.
"It's okay, I just want to do this, just treat it as an underground lover trying to please the financial owner, is that okay?"
Xiao Muyou looked stunned and took a step back. She looked at the man in front of her with doubts. Is this the same Lei Yan she knew? Why has he become so... um... shameless? Yes, he is so shameless.
To be able to say such words so calmly, he really gave up his face and everything.
"You are really thick-skinned."
Xiao Muyou knew that talking was useless. When faced with the entanglement of a shameless man, the best way was to simply ignore it. But now it seemed that ignoring it was useless, because she found that Lei Yan had been following her.
"Lei Yan, what do you want?"
Because there were still people coming in and out of the building at this time, Xiao Muyou couldn't yell loudly, so he could only lower his voice and ask, and then he heard Lei Yan say.
"I told you, I'll take you home. Also, give me the car keys. The driver is waiting over there."
As he said that, Lei Yan pointed at a man standing next to his car, wearing the clothes of a chauffeur. Xiao Muyou sighed irritably. She had no choice but to hand the car key to Lei Yan honestly.
.
Lei Yan smiled slightly and said with satisfaction.
"You go to the car and wait for me first, and I will take that person to your car."
After saying that, Lei Yan took two hurried steps, opened the passenger door for Xiao Muyou, and then walked to the driver's side. The two of them walked towards the parking lot. After a while, Lei Yan came back again.
After getting in the car, the two people left the Yaohua Cultural and Creative Building.
"Lei Yan, there is no point in what you are doing. Don't think that I will be tempted."
