Chapter 73: Soft Rice Eater? (Please Collect and Recommend)

Turning his head, it was indeed Li Caihua.

She wore an exquisite red long dress, her hair curled into big waves.

Pity, the waves weren't big; though very pretty, they weren't enough to make anyone excited.

Before Qi Hui could speak, Jing Tian took the initiative.

She lightly linked her arm with Qi Hui's, instantly switching to a cutesy voice, and coquettishly asked, "Senior Brother, who is she?"

"I've never seen this sister before?"

Li Caihua's momentum stalled; she had come to find Qi Hui with the intention of confronting him.

This fellow left without a word, slipping away the very day filming ended; how outrageous!

But now that Jing Tian had spoken, her confrontation suddenly couldn't proceed.

Good junior sister... Qi Hui clenched his fist, coughed lightly, and explained with a calm expression, "This is the Hong Kong actress Li Caihua; we collaborated when I was filming a while back."

"Oh~ Sister Caihua!" Jing Tian looked delighted: "Senior Brother told me about you, said you're very good at swimming, and also said your acting is excellent."

Li Caihua's face instantly stiffened; acting is excellent... I played the mistress; what does this woman mean by saying my acting is excellent?

With the two of them playing off each other, Li Caihua found she didn't know what to do.

She hadn't even said a single word yet!

On the other side, Zhang Ruoyun, who had been chatting aimlessly with Tang Yixin, suddenly brightened, rose excitedly, and quietly approached Qi Hui's position.

Just as Qi Hui had predicted, once these two got together, they quickly took a liking to each other.

"Wha... what's wrong?" Tang Yixin, puzzled, instinctively followed Zhang Ruoyun's steps.

"Hehe... look." Little Zhang pointed toward Qi Hui's direction: "There's a situation over there."

"Uh..." Tang Yixin glanced over, not quite understanding.

Isn't it just two women and one man?

Little Zhang patiently explained, "That's my senior brother; as far as I know, both those women have feelings for him; let's go over and watch the show."

"Really?" Tang Yixin's eyes lit up; if you say that, I'm not sleepy anymore!

"Let's go... let's be careful and hide among the crowd." She excitedly suggested.

"Hehehe... let's go, let's listen to what they're saying." Little Zhang rubbed his hands together.

I thought you had romantic luck; never in a million years did I expect you to have a romantic calamity!

However, before these two could get close, Li Caihua and Jing Tian exchanged a couple of words, and Li Caihua left directly.

Leaving Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin somewhat deeply disappointed.

Damn, didn't get to eat the melon!

"Oh no, we're late..." Tang Yixin couldn't help but mutter softly.

Not seeing the gossip, she felt a bit disappointed.

"I took a picture." Little Zhang grinned, holding up his phone and shaking it.

Very nice photo; we can pull it out and chat about it when we're bored later.

"Hey, Ruoyun, what's the situation with those three?" Tang Yixin couldn't help but press further, her eyes burning with the fire of gossip.

Curious, want to hear!

"This story is a long one." Zhang Ruoyun recalled and said, "It started with my senior brother saving a beauty..."

"Let's go, let's change location." Tang Yixin grabbed Zhang Ruoyun and walked off: "Let's discuss it in detail elsewhere."

"I have a friend who wants to hear it."

On the other side, looking at Li Caihua, Qi Hui, and Jing Tian, Lei Jiayin suddenly understood: "Now I know why that kid wasn't interested in Li Caihua at all."

"Turns out he has such a beautiful girlfriend by his side..."

"Is this the one you said the woman was chasing?" Beside him, Zhai Xufei looked excited and asked in a low voice.

There's gossip; I like it!

"Yes..."

"Then tell me what's going on."

"Didn't I tell you many times already..." Lei Jiayin was speechless.

"Isn't there new information now?"

On the other side.

Li Caihua's departure was simple; she couldn't do anything about Jing Tian.

After chatting for a couple of sentences, she quickly realized she couldn't carry on a conversation with either Qi Hui or Jing Tian, so she had to leave.

Otherwise, was she supposed to stand there awkwardly?

She didn't have the shamelessness of Ellie, nor did she have Ellie's lack of shame.

She still had her own pride.

Watching Li Caihua leave, Jing Tian smiled lightly, with a hint of triumph.

"Senior Brother, won't Sister Caihua be angry?" Jing Tian's eyes darted, and she instinctively asked.

"It's fine; if she wants to be angry, let her be angry." Qi Hui smiled.

Jing Tian paused, coughed lightly, and returned to normal; she wasn't that kind of green tea.

After the minor commotion, the wedding officially began shortly after.

When Lei Jiayin offered a toast, he also introduced Guo Jingfei to Qi Hui.

Like Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei had previously been immersed in theater, preparing to delve deeply into it.

But... just like Lei Jiayin, the pressure of life forced him to give up and instead prepare for acting in movies and TV dramas.

So, Lei Jiayin was using the convenience of the wedding to help Guo Jingfei build some connections.

This also shows that the relationship between these two is anything but ordinary.

Ding~

【Host has contacted actor Guo Jingfei, obtaining one lottery chance. Shall we draw now?】

Qi Hui was surprised; a thought crossed his mind, and he silently commanded the lottery.

【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Acting +20 points.】

Qi Hui raised an eyebrow; he remembered that the last time acting points appeared, it was on Old Ling.

Many guests offered blessings to the bride and groom; after finishing the banquet, they left quickly.

Just upon returning, Qi Hui was about to return the car keys to Jing Tian, but she waved her hand and let Qi Hui drive.

Qi Hui sighed, almost hugging her leg and shouting for her to keep him as a sugar baby.

Rich women are great!

"Don't look at me like that..." Jing Tian hummed, "One day when I go out, you must drive me."

"And, you must be available whenever I call!"

"Ahem... definitely!" Qi Hui promised, knowing Jing Tian was just joking.

This girl must have noticed that he rented a car every time he went out, so she lent him hers.

"That's more like it..." Jing Tian nodded in satisfaction, very pleased with Qi Hui.

She waved her hand and hopped away.

The film crew was already fully ready; only she, the lead actress, was missing, and she needed to prepare to join the crew for filming.

Weibo

Qi Hui posted the photos he took at Lei Jiayin's wedding.

This time it wasn't a sneak shot, but an open one.

In the photos, Yao Chen, arm-in-arm with Cao Yu, was intimately close with her new lover, even bringing her new lover right up to her ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiaosu stood all alone, facing Yao and Cao.

Qi Hui took the photos well; from the pictures, Old Ling's expression was unreadable, but Yao Chen's smile on her face was visible.

Now, public opinion began to quietly shift.

"Damn, that's a bit much!"

"Who exactly cheated? Why doesn't it look like Handsome Ling cheated?"

"Yao Big Mouth did this on purpose, right?"

"They didn't even fight? If it were me, I'd have slapped her long ago!"

"What, only men are allowed to cheat, but women can't find new lovers?"

"Ling Xiaosu is a scumbag; he deserves this!"

"This kind of person isn't worth sympathy."

"Are you blind? Can't you see Yao Big Mouth is being too much?"

"Let me say something fair: neither of these two is good!"

"Poor Handsome Ling, to be treated like this."

"..."

Qi Hui browsed the netizens' comments and nodded slightly; previously, when he played the victim, netizens mostly discussed the matter objectively.

As for sympathy for Old Ling, it wasn't non-existent, just very rare.

But now, the situation was gradually improving.

On the other side, Ling Xiaosu was also reading the comments, instinctively stroking his chin.

"Old Qi is right; playing the victim and staying calm aren't contradictory..." Ling Xiaosu chuckled, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

My junior brother is truly talented!

The situation is visibly getting better!

A few days later, Qi Hui drove Old Ling towards the HD District.

The audition was coming up.

"Yo? Junior brother, you bought a car?" Old Ling touched the Audi A6, somewhat surprised.

He didn't know much about cars, but since he didn't see the FAW logo on it, it must be imported.

An imported Audi wasn't a huge deal for him; Qi Hui hadn't been making waves for long, so it must have been difficult.

"It's not mine," Qi Hui explained. "Jing Tian lent it to me temporarily."

Hearing this, Old Ling winced: "Junior brother, you don't look like the type to live off a woman."

To be honest, he was a bit envious!

"Ahem... I said it's a loan," Qi Hui coughed lightly, sounding a bit lacking in confidence.

"Let's not talk about that; the audition is next," Qi Hui changed the subject. "Senior brother, I'm a bit worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Old Ling looked at Qi Hui, who sat upright, and at his buzz cut.

"You've trained and even cut your hair... you've gone this far; under fair competition, who could possibly beat you?"
