My ex-girlfriend's best friends are getting restless right after the breakup.

Chapter 17 Plastic Sisters

"First of all, thank you for your concern and kindness, Weiwei." Chen Bo smiled at Bei Weiwei, "However, it's really inconvenient for me to move right now. Firstly, the song is almost finished, and moving it around would be too much trouble; secondly..."

He looked at Zhou Lingyan: "Lingyan really helped me, I can't just leave like that. At least, I have to wait until the competition is over."

These words were perfectly worded, neither offending Bei Weiwei nor embarrassing Zhou Lingyan.

Bei Weiwei bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly cheered up: "Alright then, since you've decided, I won't force you. But Chen Bo, remember, if you need help anytime, just let me know."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite dessert box from the paper bag, opened it, and inside were six beautifully shaped mini cakes.

"Try this, it's their signature dish." She picked up a piece with her fork and naturally offered it to Chen Bo's mouth.

This gesture is a bit too intimate.

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, but still opened his mouth and caught it.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Beiwei looked at him expectantly.

"Hmm, not bad." Chen Bo nodded.

Bei Weiwei smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, and took out a thermos from another paper bag: "And this, I had the housekeeper stew some bird's nest for you. Drink some while it's hot to nourish your body."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately asked the housekeeper to cook it, and after arranging her work, she rushed over.

The aunt would cook the stew and then deliver it to her at the entrance of Yunding Mountain Villa.

As Zhou Lingyan watched from the side, the sour feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

She originally just wanted to use Chen Bo to anger Xu Yueqing, but now it seems she has created trouble for herself.

This man is so charming that even my best friend is vying for him after just one day.

And judging from Bei Weiwei's demeanor, she's serious.

Zhou Lingyan suddenly felt a little irritated. She stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm going to get some water."

She walked into the kitchen, leaned against the counter, and looked at the two people in the living room.

Bei Weiwei was sitting next to Chen Bo, whispering something to him. Chen Bo listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

The scene was actually... somewhat... well-matched.

Zhou Lingyan bit her lip, her inexplicable irritation growing stronger.

What's wrong with her? Is she jealous?

Impossible. She doesn't like Chen Bo; she's just using him.

But... why does she feel uncomfortable seeing Bei Weiwei being so nice to him?

Just as I was lost in thought, my phone rang.

It's Xu Yueqing.

Zhou Lingyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately answered the call, deliberately feigning a cheerful tone: "Hey, Yueqing, what made you think of calling me?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yueqing's voice sounded a little hoarse, filled with suppressed anger: "Zhou Lingyan, is Chen Bo with you?"

"Yes, what's up?" Zhou Lingyan said. "But he's busy right now and can't answer the phone."

"What are you busy with?" Xu Yueqing asked.

Zhou Lingyan's eyes darted around, and she deliberately said, "I was chatting with Weiwei when, oh, isn't it a coincidence? Weiwei didn't go to work today and came to see Chen Bo. She even brought bird's nest and desserts. She's so good to him."

The breathing on the other end of the phone was noticeably heavier.

A few seconds later, Xu Yueqing gritted her teeth and said, "Let Chen Bo answer the phone."

"I already told you he's busy," Zhou Lingyan said. "Why don't you call later? Or... why don't you just come over? It's just across the street, only a few steps away."

These words were practically dancing on Xu Yueqing's minefield.

"Zhou Lingyan!" Xu Yueqing's voice turned completely cold. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"What do you mean by 'deliberately'?" Zhou Lingyan asked innocently. "I was just trying to be helpful by reminding you that Chen Bo isn't your boyfriend anymore. You can't control who he chats with or gets close to. Besides, what's wrong with Weiwei being nice to him? She's just showing concern for a friend. Unlike you, who tries to blackmail him with resources after the breakup."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long silence, Xu Yueqing finally spoke, her voice weary: "Zhou Lingyan, can we please not drag Chen Bo into our feud? He's already having a hard time enough."

"Difficult?" Zhou Lingyan laughed. "I think he's doing quite well. He lives in a big villa, uses top-of-the-line equipment, and has beautiful women showering him with attention. What's difficult about that? Yueqing, you're not regretting it, are you? Too bad, it's too late."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

She turned around and found that Bei Weiwei and Chen Bo were both looking at her.

"Is that Yueqing on the phone?" Bei Weiwei asked.

"Hmm." Zhou Lingyan walked back to the living room and sat down again on the single sofa. "Here to check up on you."

Bei Weiwei frowned: "What else does she want? Didn't we break up?"

"Who knows?" Zhou Lingyan shrugged. "Maybe she still sees Chen Bo as her possession."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Bo and said, "Teacher Chen, what do you think? Your ex-girlfriend is still concerned about your whereabouts."

Chen Bo put down his cake fork and wiped his mouth: "I have nothing to do with her anymore."

These words were spoken crisply and decisively, and Bei Weiwei's eyes visibly brightened upon hearing them.

Zhou Lingyan felt a little uneasy.

She suddenly realized a problem: if Chen Bo really had no feelings for Xu Yueqing anymore, then what could she do to spite Xu Yueqing?

Moreover, judging from Bei Weiwei's posture, she clearly intends to take advantage of the situation.

What about her?

What is she in this play?

Just then, Bei Weiwei spoke up again: "Chen Bo, when is your competition? Do you need an audience? I can come and cheer you on."

"Nine Days Later," Chen Bo said. "I'm not a big star like Xu Yueqing or Ling Yan, so I probably can't bring an audience."

"Then I'll cheer you on in front of the TV when it airs," Bei Weiwei said with a smile. "By the way, what's the name of your song? Can you sing it for me first?"

Chen Bo glanced at Zhou Lingyan.

Zhou Lingyan raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me? Just sing if you want to."

Chen Bo thought for a moment, then picked up his guitar: "Okay, then I'll sing a verse."

He tuned his instrument, cleared his throat, and began to play and sing.

It's the song he prepared for the challenge match.

Bevy sat beside him, staring at him intently.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on Chen Bo, who was mesmerized.

The way he bent over to play the guitar was focused and captivating, and his singing voice was deep and gentle, carrying an indescribable sense of story.

Bei Weiwei's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

She had always known that Chen Bo was good-looking, but he used to be a bit dull and reserved, unlike now, who is confident, relaxed, and has a touch of roguish charm.

That aura is absolutely captivating.

After the song ended, Bei Weiwei was still in a daze.

Zhou Lingyan clapped first: "Not bad, not bad, Teacher Chen, with your level, the show can be canceled after just one round."

Chen Bo put down his guitar: "I hope we can go through a few more rounds."

"It definitely will!" Bei Weiwei exclaimed immediately. "Chen Bo, you sang so well! This song is sure to be a hit!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I know a few people in charge of music platforms. After you finish recording the show, I can help you get your song featured on the recommendation list."

"Thank you in advance," Chen Bo said with a smile.

Bei Weiwei blushed slightly: "Why are you being so polite with me?"

As Zhou Lingyan watched the two interact, that feeling of irritation rose in her heart again.

She suddenly stood up: "Alright, you guys chat, I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without waiting for the two of them to react.

Watching her retreating figure, Bei Weiwei whispered to Chen Bo, "Is Lingyan unhappy?"
