In the car, Xue Ziqi looked out the window and asked worriedly: "Mr. Gu, if Miss Wen regrets and wants to continue the competition, I can withdraw without hurting your relationship."
"I have nothing to do with her." Gu Jinmo's voice was extremely cold, "Since she quit the race on her own, let's help her and drive."
The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. The assistant stepped on the accelerator and the car slowly drove away.
Gu Jinmo pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Inside the car, the light was dim. Xue Ziqi glanced out of the window with her peripheral vision and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
…
NY City, Huacheng Community.
As soon as Wen Yan got out of the elevator, he saw a person squatting at the door.
Seeing Wen Yan, Nangong Ye quickly raised his head and stood up with surprise on his face: "You're here, I'm waiting for you..."
Nangong Ye's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the person behind Wen Yan.
"Ms. Wen, is this here?" The man from the moving company asked, holding the suitcase and luggage bag, pointing to the door behind Nangong Ye.
Wen Yan nodded.
Nangong Ye said quickly: "Don't move yet."
He said to the people from the moving company: "Sorry, please wait for me for five minutes."
After speaking, he walked to Wen Yan, his face full of begging: "Can you give me five minutes? I have something to ask you for help."
Wen Yan was silent for a few seconds. Seeing him standing at a loss what to do, Wen Yan finally nodded: "Go and talk in the room."
The two entered the house without closing the door to avoid suspicion.
Nangong Ye stood in the living room and asked anxiously: "Did you voluntarily withdraw from that game?"
Wen Yan shook his head: "I didn't quit the competition."
"Then you..." Nangong Ye suddenly realized something as he thought of something, "It was Gu Jinmo who forced you to retreat?"
In everyone's opinion, Xue Ziqi's chance of winning is indeed much higher than Wen Yan. After all, Xue Ziqi has experience, while Wen Yan is just a newcomer.
Although I'm not sure if it's Gu Jinmo, judging from his attitude...
Wen Yan smiled bitterly.
She had already broken up with Gu Jinmo that day, and it was reasonable for Gu Jinmo not to want her to participate in the competition.
As for the matter of giving it to Xue Ziqi in a blink of an eye, it is intriguing.
Thinking of Gu Jinmo's indifferent attitude, Wen Yan clenched his hands: "He also has his own considerations..."
"That Xue Ziqi originally represented our company in the competition, but later she withdrew because she felt unwell. Unexpectedly, she went to Gu Jinmo's place in a blink of an eye..." Nangong Ye paused, "I guess Xue Ziqi wanted to withdraw from the competition from the beginning to go to Gu Jinmo.
Our company is participating in this competition for my grandma. She likes jewelry design, and when she found out about this, she became so angry that she fell ill."
When he thought that this was Xue Ziqi's plan, Wen Yan sneered in his heart.
She also knew that this was Xue Ziqi's plan, but Gu Jinmo might not have known it.
Thinking that nothing could be done to Xue Ziqi now, Wen Yan was so angry that her chest hurt.
"I know you like jewelry design, and you have prepared a lot for this competition. I am here to ask you if you are interested in representing our Nangong family in the competition?" At this point, Nangong Ye quickly added, "We
I don’t care about the ranking, I just want to give my grandma something to look forward to."
Wen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mind suddenly moved.
If Xue Ziqi was allowed to get the ranking like this, she would definitely not be reconciled.
If I want Xue Ziqi to learn a lesson, this competition is also a good opportunity.
"If I competed on behalf of your family, Gu Jinmo would probably be furious." Wen Yan raised the corners of his lips, and his eyebrows were as dazzling as blooming flowers.
Nangong Ye's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth split open, revealing two playful tiger teeth: "Do you care what he thinks?"
"not give a damn about."
He didn't care what she thought, so how could she care about him.
"Okay, I'll take part in this competition." Wen Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly and curled his eyes, "Don't worry, I will work hard to get a good ranking for your family. I don't have to compete for steamed buns, but I have to compete for reputation."
She could imagine that once this incident broke out, it would become a topic of discussion for everyone after dinner.
Fortunately, she has developed a tough and strong heart after being at the forefront of the storm for many days.
"Are you willing?" Nangong Ye stood up in surprise and held her hand excitedly, "Thank you, now I have an explanation for grandma."
Wen Yan broke away from his hand and subconsciously took a step back.
Nangong Ye paused and put his hands on the back of his head in embarrassment, hesitatingly saying: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm too excited."
"It doesn't matter." Wen Yan was also shocked by his reaction.
Perhaps it's a reaction to pregnancy, as she doesn't want the opposite sex to get too close to her.
"By the way, don't move. Didn't you say you want to buy this house? I'll give it to you at a half discount, okay?"
He wanted to directly say that the entire house was payment, but he knew that if he gave it directly to her, she would definitely refuse it again.
Hearing that he was willing to sell it to her at a half discount, Wen Yan hesitated, but finally nodded.
This is better than giving it to her directly.
If she takes advantage, she should repay it with a good ranking.
After Nangong Ye left, an uninvited guest came to the house.
Wen Yan had just finished washing, wearing pajamas and drooping slippers, and walked to the door.
In the cat's eyes, the person wearing a cheongsam and a graceful posture turned out to be Xue Ziqi.
Xue Ziqi heard the footsteps in the door, smiled at the cat's eye and waved hello: "Miss Wen, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I'm here to get something."
Get something?
Wen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, put his hand on the door handle, and twisted it as if nothing had happened.
Outside the door, Xue Ziqi had a big smile on her face: "Miss Wen, you took a box of jewelry from Mr. Gu before. Now that you are no longer qualified to compete, is it time to return these things?"
Xue Ziqi smiled sincerely, her thoughts going back and forth a thousand times, but her face didn't show anything.
She knew the bet made by Wen Yan and Gu Jinmo. Since Wen Yan no longer represented Gu's company in the competition, the jewelry sponsored by Gu Jinmo should be returned.
I didn't expect to come here to get this thing.
Wen Yan curled his lips and smiled, his sparkling eyes like stars under the light: "Did Gu Jinmo ask you to come?"
The voice was cold, like a veil blowing across an ice cellar. It was cold but not disgusting.
Looking into her beautiful eyes, Xue Ziqi's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her eyes drooped, hiding the jealousy inside.
"It's so hard to ask you to pick up things so late."
Wen Yan curled his lips and smiled, charmingly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
She turned around and picked up a box from the coffee table.
Seeing such a big box, Xue Ziqi's eyes lit up.
so much!
According to the information she found, many of the items here are antiques and orphans, the kind that would be snapped up if sold at auction.
Xue Ziqi was very excited.
Just as she stretched out her hand to take it, just when she was about to touch the box, Wen Yan changed her hand and put the box on the shoe cabinet.
"Sorry, my own jewelry was also mixed in." Wen Yan chuckled, a hint of apology flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Why don't you call Gu Jinmo now and ask how many items are in the box?"
"Don't worry, even if he doesn't remember it, the person who purchased it will definitely remember it."
Hearing this, Xue Ziqi's face suddenly turned pale.
Call Gu Jinmo?
Gu Jinmo didn't know about this at all. How could she call?
