Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend - Chapter 669
Chapter 669: Chapter 669 Jiang Xu: What, you don’t trust my character?
Zhou Qingyue, who opened the door, did not expect to see Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo standing outside instead of Jiang Xiaoyan.
The two of them were also taken aback for a moment.
Jiang Xu asked, “What are you doing here?”
Zhou Qingyue quickly came back to her senses, stepped to the side, and said, “Come in first, I’m now developing here.”
The two of them dragged their suitcases in.
After sitting down, Zhou Qingyue briefly started to talk about her situation.
She had been in Bear Country for almost two months now.
She had worked with local directors and actors and made two movies.
One of them had already been released, and it performed quite well, even helping her accumulate a bit of a fan base.
Jiang Xu was stunned.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyue radiated the aura of a strong independent woman, drastically different from before.
Now Jiang Xu truly believed that she had completely let go of him and was focusing on her career.
Whether it’s a man or a woman, as long as one is dedicated to doing something, they will emit a strong personal charm.
“Speaking of which, why have you two come here?” Zhou Qingyue asked while pouring tea for them.
She was no longer an employee under Jiang Xu’s company, so she spoke much more freely.
Although she wasn’t as wealthy as Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo, she no longer needed to seek help from others.
With nothing to ask for, she naturally felt more confident.
Zhou Qingyue couldn’t help feeling that this version of herself was the real her.
“Zhou is making movies here?” An Nuonuo asked with some curiosity, “Can I watch them online?”
She was truly happy for Zhou Qingyue.
At the very least, everyone could get along peacefully without having to play games with each other.
She didn’t like that, nor was she good at it.
“Sure,” Zhou Qingyue nodded slightly, “The market here in Bear Country is different from back home.
Here, movies are released in cinemas, online, and on television at the same time, and it’s about thirty percent more expensive to watch online or on TV compared to cinemas.
After all, buying it online once could mean many people watching together.”
An Nuonuo had a sudden realization.
So that’s how it was.
Zhou Qingyue, seeing her interest, got her laptop, searched for her films, and then they began watching them together.
It wasn’t long before Jiang Xiaoyan returned.
“Ah, Nuonuo, I’ve missed you so much.”
Then, like a gust of wind, Jiang Xiaoyan swooped in and hugged An Nuonuo, nestling her head in her arms.
She was extremely enthusiastic.
This left An Nuonuo somewhat dumbfounded.
Even Jiang Xu couldn’t quite understand what was happening.
When did this woman get so close to Nuonuo?
In the past, even though they appeared to maintain a peaceful relationship when they met,
Jiang Xiaoyan always seemed to harbor some hidden hostility towards An Nuonuo.
But today?
Little did they know, Jiang Xiaoyan wasn’t actually that fond of An Nuonuo or that enthusiastic about her.
The reason was…
An Nuonuo carried Jiang Xu’s scent on her.
At the moment, when holding An Nuonuo, Jiang Xiaoyan sniffed vigorously.
That, by rounding up, was practically the same as embracing Jiang Xu, right?
One can only say that Jiang Xiaoyan’s thought process was invincible, something the average person would never think of.
It took Nuonuo a while to extricate herself from Jiang Xiaoyan, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Jiang Xu asked Zhou Qingyue, “Are you staying here now?”
“I’m staying here temporarily for a couple of days,” Zhou Qingyue smiled lightly, “But I have to go to the crew to shoot a film tomorrow.”
In fact, she wasn’t planning to leave for a few more days.
But now that Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo were here, she certainly wasn’t going to stay on.
That would be purely making herself uncomfortable.
Now that her love-struck mind was gone, all she had was a pure career mind.
Jiang Xiaoyan knew this well but didn’t say much more.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhou Qingyue stood up and said, “I’ve got something to do, so I’ll be going first. Have fun.”
Jiang Xiaoyan stood up to see her off.
“She… she left because we are here, didn’t she?” An Nuonuo asked timidly.
“After all, she was showering here just now, and us being here might not be so nice, right?
How about we stay somewhere else?”
Jiang Xu noticed it too.
He hadn’t expected Zhou Qingyue to be here, so he had hurried over.
The situation now was indeed a bit awkward.
He nodded, “All right, we’ll stay somewhere else later.”
He didn’t want to do something that would make both parties uncomfortable.
When Jiang Xiaoyan came back, Jiang Xu immediately suggested, “Let’s stay outside later.”
“You dare!” Jiang Xiaoyan placed her hands on her hips and said in a threatening yet cute manner, “If you dare leave, I’ll turn you into bacon!”
Jiang Xu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
With her saying that, leaving was out of the question.
There was another flat outside Jiang Xiaoyan’s villa for the bodyguards to live in.
Once everything was settled, Jiang Xiaoyan said nonchalantly, “Forget about Zhou, tonight we’re not going home until we’re drunk.”
Jiang Xu replied, “I don’t think so.”
Jiang Xiaoyan glared at him, “Why not?”
Jiang Xu said, “Because you can’t hold your liquor.”
Angered, Jiang Xiaoyan rolled up her sleeves, “That’s slander, pure and simple slander. I’m going to give you a dose of ‘green damp chill’!”
Jiang Xu chuckled.
All of Jiang Xiaoyan’s friends knew about her tolerance for alcohol.
Unconvinced, Jiang Xiaoyan turned to An Nuonuo, “Nuonuo, what do you think of my drinking ability?”
“Um…” said An Nuonuo with slight hesitation, “It’s okay… I guess.”
“Hahaha!” Jiang Xu burst into laughter, “Jiang Xiaoyan, don’t make Nuonuo uncomfortable, she can’t lie.”
Jiang Xiaoyan: “!!!”
After this brief interlude, the three sat together.
The table was filled with various barbecues and beer.
They only wore shirts in the room with the heater on.
“Come on, try this beer. It’s really authentic.”
“And this barbecue, it’s all made with lamb, super delicious.”
Jiang Xiaoyan kept urging Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo to drink and eat meat.
Her eyes twinkled with mischievous light.
Jiang Xu could tell from her expression what this little tsundere was planning.
She definitely wanted to get him drunk and then…
He wouldn’t let her succeed.
Raising his glass, Jiang Xu said to Jiang Xiaoyan, “Come on, I’ll toast to you, bottoms up.”
“Okay, bottoms up.”
Jiang Xu drank his beer in one gulp.
Then while Jiang Xiaoyan wasn’t looking, he sneaked a pill into a piece of the barbecue and swallowed it.
It was an anti-drinking medication.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xu would never dream of drinking it.
But since Jiang Xiaoyan’s mind was completely focused on how to bring him down, he had to be cautious.
He was ready for her tricks.
Jiang Xiaoyan, oblivious, continued to challenge Jiang Xu to drink.
Before long, she herself slumped over the table, unconscious.
Jiang Xu shook his head, carried her back to her bedroom.
Then he and An Nuonuo went to wash up.
Feeling a bit scared, An Nuonuo said, “Why don’t you wash first? What if Sister Xiao Yan suddenly wakes up…”
Jiang Xu reassured her, “It’s okay, she’s out cold. She won’t wake up till tomorrow.”
An Nuonuo hesitated, “But…”
Jiang Xu asked, “What, don’t you trust me?”
