The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 117: Rich, Willful, and Well-Connected
It’s true that "Night Return" has entered the competition unit of the TV festival; Sheng Yi’s words carry both a hint of truth and seven parts sarcasm.
Ji Xinyi clutched the hem of her dress tightly, feeling indignant and wanting to retort, but now Sheng Yi’s backer is President Gu, so she didn’t dare, just held it in.
Sheng Yi looked at an enduring Ji Xinyi and felt immensely pleased. She knew that Yuanyuan had called Ji Xinyi over to vent her frustration on her; even without saying or doing anything yet, Ji Xinyi was already on the verge of losing it.
"Ji Xinyi," Gu Yuan suddenly called out.
Ji Xinyi shuddered all over and immediately responded, "I’m here."
Gu Yuan took a step forward, reached out her hand to hold Ji Xinyi’s hand, and pulled her up. At the moment Gu Yuan reached out, Ji Xinyi immediately released the hand clenching her dress.
"President Gu, I..." Ji Xinyi was extremely nervous.
Gu Yuan’s voice was very gentle, "Don’t be nervous, I just feel a connection with you and want to have a few more words with you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, while inwardly speculating whether President Gu saw her potential and intended to promote her?
With this thought, much of the tension on Ji Xinyi’s face faded, and she felt more at ease.
"President Gu, please speak."
Ji Xinyi adopted a posture of bowing her head respectfully and obediently receiving advice.
Gu Yuan’s radiant lips curled up, her smile growing even wider, "Our Sheng Yi has had the same temper since she was a child. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf."
Ji Xinyi: !!!!!!
These words terrified Ji Xinyi.
She couldn’t even imagine that President Gu would apologize to her on behalf of Sheng Yi.
But who knew Gu Yuan’s next words would directly petrify Ji Xinyi—
Gu Yuan said, "At home, her parents indulge her; in the entertainment circle, naturally, I indulge her. Don’t let the smooth appearance of our Sheng Yi fool you; behind the scenes, it’s just as smooth. Even if you envy her, you won’t have it."
Ji Xinyi: "..."
The others around: "..."
President Gu is so protective!!
Probably at this moment, everyone wants to be Sheng Yi, after all, being personally defended by President Gu is something.
Gu Yuan released Ji Xinyi’s hand, her smile remaining as wide as before, "Whether at home or out, in our Sheng Yi’s family, wealth guides her actions, understand?"
A home with wealth, actions guided by will—
This translates to: rich, willful, and with backing.
President Gu really knows how to sting someone.
Ji Xinyi woodenly nodded, still in a stiff, bewildered state.
President Gu didn’t reprimand her, not even a bit, but instead spoke to her in a very approachable and friendly manner, yet every word was piercing.
Indeed, she wouldn’t be easily harmed, but she could be easily left without a place to hide...
Gu Yuan: "Sheng Yi just wished you all your dreams come true, remember to perform well."
After speaking, she patted Ji Xinyi’s arm and then withdrew her hand to take Sheng Yi’s wrist, "Let’s go, we’re heading in."
The group came in grandly, and then entered the studio grandly.
Those who had enough of the spectacle now looked at Ji Xinyi with sympathetic eyes.
Anyone could have been offended, but she just had to offend President Gu’s person. However, starting tonight, everyone knows there’s another person in the entertainment circle who can’t be messed with, and that is—Sheng Yi.
Because standing behind Sheng Yi is a woman named Gu Yuan.
Fu Yao walked over to Ji Xinyi, knowing that saying anything would seem like schadenfreude, just expressed relief for Ji Xinyi, "Luckily, President Gu didn’t really get angry, you should be thankful your family offers incense so well."
