Chapter 53 Your relationship is too complicated; I'm afraid I'll get myself involved.
After finishing her phone call with Chen Bo, Bei Weiwei learned that Zhou Lingyan had indeed gone to pressure Chen Bo.
But after Chen Bo retorted, she felt both relieved and somewhat uneasy.
Zhou Lingyan's reaction was more intense and unreasonable than she had imagined.
"No, I can't let her keep using her position as the landlord to control my boyfriend."
Bei Weiwei dialed a number: "Manager Wang, it's me, Bei Weiwei. Yes, I wanted to ask if there are any villas still for sale in Yunding Villa, preferably closer to... closer to Building 11, are there any ready-built ones? Fully furnished... That would be great! I'm... too busy right now, I'll go see the house tomorrow, yes, tomorrow!"
Thousands of miles away.
Xu Yueqing finished an online magazine interview and was wearing an expensive face mask and a silk robe in the living room of her hotel suite, drinking bird's nest soup and flipping through a script.
The phone chimed.
She glanced at it and saw it was a WeChat message from Zhao Lulu.
"Yueqing! Shocking gossip! You didn't know?!" This was followed by a string of explosion and gossip-loving emojis.
Xu Yueqing lazily picked up her phone, thinking it was probably just another celebrity scandal or some trouble caused by one of Zhao Lulu's invested internet celebrities.
She typed slowly and deliberately: "What gossip? Which richest man has been exposed for having a bunch of illegitimate children?"
Zhao Lulu replied: "Ten thousand times more explosive than that! It's about Chen Bo!"
Xu Yueqing's face under the face mask was slightly taut.
"What's wrong with Chen Bo?" she asked.
Zhao Lulu: "Weiwei got him! They've officially announced it! They're now a legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend! Didn't you see her WeChat Moments?!"
"Clatter—"
The bird's nest spoon in Xu Yueqing's hand fell into the porcelain bowl.
She paused for two seconds, not caring that the face mask absorbing the essence on her face would wrinkle, and quickly exited the chat window and opened her Moments.
After scrolling through more than a dozen posts, I finally saw the one posted by Bei Weiwei.
A carefully posed breakfast photo—plain congee, soft-boiled fried egg, and a few side dishes—with perfect composition and soft lighting.
The caption reads: "Breakfast made for my boyfriend(´▽｀)ノ♪"
No names were mentioned, but...
Xu Yueqing stared at the photo, her face gradually losing color beneath the face mask.
Seemingly unaware that she was rubbing salt into someone else's wounds, Zhao Lulu's message popped up again: "See? See? I almost spat my coffee out of the screen when I saw it. Weiwei, that girl, doesn't keep quiet until she strikes, and she's really quick!"
Xu Yueqing forced herself to calm down and quickly replied, "Does Lingyan know?"
Zhao Lulu boasted, "How could I not know? I tipped her off! You didn't hear the tone of her voice on the phone, she was practically exploding! She called Weiwei and had a huge fight with her, and I heard she even threatened Chen Bo that he couldn't be with Weiwei anymore. Chen Bo shut her down, and she even said she'd move out! Now Lingyan and Weiwei have really fallen out. Sigh, what a waste of years of sisterhood!"
Xu Yueqing stared at the string of words, her mind buzzing.
Have Zhou Lingyan and Bei Weiwei fallen out?
For Bei Weiwei's sake, Chen Bo did not hesitate to confront Zhou Lingyan, and even wanted to move out of the auspicious place he had just moved into a few days ago.
"Lulu," Xu Yueqing's fingers trembled slightly, "Weiwei and Chen Bo are really dating, you're not kidding?"
Zhao Lulu sent a "Are you kidding me?" emoji: "Of course it's true! Weiwei told me herself! Last night, Chen Bo accepted her confession, and they kissed! Kissed! According to Weiwei's coy revelation, they were completely naked, they'd gone all the way, and Chen Bo only stopped abruptly when he found out she was a virgin... My god, Yueqing, what kind of weirdo is your ex-boyfriend? He slept with your ex-girlfriend without hesitation, but he's all gentlemanly when it comes to his current girlfriend's virginity?"
Xu Yueqing's face turned completely pale as she read these words.
It wasn't anger, it was panic.
Bevy is about to be hooked by that hook.
Moreover, Chen Bo seems to treat Bei Weiwei differently.
It was vengeful towards her, a merciless display of flowers blooming in all four seasons, year after year.
But for Bei Weiwei, they cherished her with utmost care.
This contrast, like a fine needle, pierced the most hidden and vain part of Xu Yueqing's heart.
She was the moon that Chen Bo cherished and held in his palm for three years, but after the breakup, Chen Bo's attitude towards her turned into plunder and punishment.
But Bei Weiwei, her best friend who had always stood silently behind her, received Chen Bo's gentleness and respect.
"Lulu," Xu Yueqing ripped off her face mask, revealing a face that was breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup, but now her complexion was frighteningly pale, "Does Weiwei like Chen Bo a lot?"
Zhao Lulu: "It's not just liking, it's practically being bewitched! She's had a crush on him for three years, sister! Three years! This girl really hid it well! Now that she's finally won him over, judging by her attitude, she's going to treat Chen Bo like the apple of her eye. You didn't see the tone of her posts on WeChat Moments, it was sickeningly sweet! I reckon if she really experienced what it's like to be leaning against the wall like you..."
Zhao Lulu sent a mischievous smiley face: "She might be even more devoted than you. By then, forget about letting go, you probably won't even be able to pry it open with a crowbar!"
Xu Yueqing had mixed feelings of love and hate towards this best friend; all of them were so beautiful that they had no friends.
So even though she and Zhou Lingyan were at odds in the past, they never broke off relations, not only because of the relationship between their fathers and grandfathers.
They don't want to fit into other circles of wealthy and beautiful women.
Different road non-phase plan.
Xu Yueqing held her phone, her body ice-cold.
Zhao Lulu's words were like a bucket of ice water, waking her up.
Yes, if Bei Weiwei really does have something happen with Chen Bo, given her gentle yet strong-willed and stubborn personality, once she gives herself to him, she will probably be even more resolute than Xu Yueqing.
And what about Xu Yueqing?
She longed for the feeling of flowers blooming in all four seasons, a feeling that made her lean against the wall.
These days, whenever the night is quiet, she can't help but think of Chen Bo, his burning body temperature, his deep, hoarse voice, and the ultimate experience that made her temporarily forget all her troubles and only indulge in happiness.
It was as if there was nothing in the world that could be happier than this.
Work, fame, the screams of fans, Lu Ze's ethereal poems...
All other joys pale in comparison to that most primal and overwhelming pleasure.
She once thought of herself as a lofty flower that needed spiritual resonance, but now she realizes that she may just be an ordinary person who craves worldly pleasures.
The man who brings her ultimate pleasure is now being carefully cherished by her best friend, who may soon allow Bei Weiwei to experience that pleasure in a more deliberate way.
No.
Absolutely not!
A strong sense of crisis gripped Xu Yueqing.
Chen Bo is hers!
"Lulu," Xu Yueqing said calmly, with a do-or-die determination, "do me a favor."
Zhao Lulu: "What kind of help? Let me make this clear first, I don't know how to mediate or break up relationships. Your relationship is too complicated, I'm afraid I'll get myself involved."
