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

Chapter 77 Using a Borrowed Knife to Kill Flames

Come on, smile!

Xu Yueqing didn't laugh; it wasn't Chen Bo's request.

"Click—"

The photo freezes in time.

In the photo, Zhao Lulu smiles brightly, making a cheesy peace sign.

Xu Yueqing leaned against the wall, her face rosy, her eyes showing a satisfied languor.

The background is Zhou Lingyan's living room.

Zhao Lulu looked at the photos with satisfaction, her fingers moving quickly across the screen.

send.

Caption: "Coming to Lingyan's house to talk to Chen Bo about work, and I actually caught a wild Yueqing! It's been so long since the sisters took a photo together!"

Send to the "Five Golden Flowers of Haicheng" group.

Sent successfully.

Thousands of miles away.

On the set of a film crew.

Zhou Lingyan was waiting backstage, idly scrolling through her phone.

A group message notification sounded.

She clicked on it casually.

Then her eyes widened instantly, like copper bells.

In the photo, Xu Yueqing is standing in her living room, leaning against the wall, wearing her clothes, with a rosy complexion and a spring-like look in her eyes.

Leaning against the wall.

Support him.

墙。

Zhou Lingyan's hand holding the phone began to tremble.

She exited the photo and stared intently at Zhao Lulu's caption.

"I came to Lingyan's house to talk to Chen Bo about work, and I actually caught a wild Yueqing! It's been so long since the sisters took a photo together!"

Zhou Lingyan took a deep breath.

He took another deep breath.

Then she started typing.

Zhou Lingyan: "?????????"

Zhou Lingyan: "Zhao Lulu, explain yourself! Why is Xu Yueqing in my house?!"

Zhou Lingyan: "She didn't leave last night?! She stayed overnight at my house?!"

Zhou Lingyan: "@Xu Yueqing, come out here! Who told you to wear my clothes? Did you sleep in Chen Bo's room last night?!"

Zhou Lingyan: "Xu Yueqing, have you no shame?! That's my home! Chen Bo is someone I took in! What right do you have to sleep in my house and sleep with my man?!"

Haicheng.

Headquarters of the Bei Group.

Bevy was in an important quarterly meeting, and her phone was on silent.

But she still secretly glanced at the screen while the presenter was using the PowerPoint presentation.

Then her expression changed visibly.

From white to red, from red to green, from green to... grievance.

She bit her lip, desperately trying to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

The PowerPoint presentation continued, but the presenter's voice sounded as distant as the horizon.

Bei Weiwei gripped her phone so tightly that her fingernails almost dug into the screen.

"Xu Yueqing..."

She silently repeated the name in her heart, her voice as cold as if it had been quenched with ice.

"You promised fair competition, that I could only perform, but you..."

Five Golden Flowers Group.

Holding her phone, Zhao Lulu was so excited by Zhou Lingyan's barrage of questions that she almost jumped up on the spot.

Here it comes!

The flames of war have reignited!

She was about to add fuel to the fire when she suddenly saw a new message from Zhou Lingyan.

Zhou Lingyan: "@Zhao Lulu, dare you say you don't know? You posted the photos on purpose, didn't you? Zhao Lulu, you're really something! You're the best at sowing discord!"

Zhao Lulu replied, looking aggrieved, "I really just went to discuss work, who knew Yueqing was there too..."

Zhou Lingyan: "You're talking nonsense! When have you ever not been one to stir up trouble? Are you satisfied now? Are you happy to see Xu Yueqing spending the night at my house?"

Zhao Lulu felt even more aggrieved: "Lingyan, how could you say that to me? I told you the news as soon as possible..."

Xu Yueqing remained silent.

Bei Weiwei remained silent throughout.

Zhou Lingyan sent out more than a hundred messages on her own, ranging from cursing "Xu Yueqing is shameless" to cursing "Chen Bo has no conscience", from cursing "Zhao Lulu is stirring up trouble" to cursing "Why is this crappy show still running?"

Finally, she sent a message.

Zhou Lingyan: "I'll call the director right now and ask for leave! I'll fly back today!"

Zhao Lulu weakly said, "Lingyan, calm down, you just joined the crew..."

Zhou Lingyan: "Calm down my ass! Our house has been robbed!"

Haicheng.

The living room of Zhou Lingyan's home.

Zhao Lulu put down her phone and looked up at Xu Yueqing.

Xu Yueqing was sitting on the sofa, slowly sipping the coffee that Zhao Lulu had brought, her face calm as if nothing had happened.

"Yueqing," Zhao Lulu leaned closer to her and lowered her voice, "Lingyan said she's going to fly back."

"Mm," Xu Yueqing responded calmly.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xu Yueqing put down her coffee cup and looked at Zhao Lulu.

"What's there to be afraid of?" she said. "It's perfect that she's flying back."

Zhao Lulu blinked.

Xu Yueqing continued, "Doesn't she like posting photos? Intimate photos of herself and Chen Bo, so... could you post a photo of me and her living room? That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Zhao Lulu's mouth dropped open.

So that's what you were waiting for.

She suddenly felt a little sorry for Zhou Lingyan.

My home was stolen, my clothes were worn, my man was slept with, and now I'm being humiliated with photos of myself.

It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit.

Footsteps came from upstairs.

Chen Bo changed his clothes and came down from the second floor.

He saw two people in the living room—one as excited as a cat that had stolen fish, and the other as calm as a sage monk.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Zhao Lulu held up her phone: "I took a picture with Yueqing and posted it in our best friends' group chat. Lingyan said she was going to fly back and beat someone up."

Chen Bo remained silent for two seconds.

Then he looked at Xu Yueqing.

Xu Yueqing calmly continued drinking her coffee.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Chen Bo asked.

Xu Yueqing raised her head and looked at him.

"Yes," she said, "It was intentional."

Chen Bo: "..."

No, this woman wasn't like this before.

What about Xu Yueqing, who was aloof and reserved, and who found it tiring to even look at him?

How did she suddenly transform into this scheming, manipulative, and ruthless goddess who can use others to do her dirty work?

Chen Bo looked at Zhao Lulu.

Zhao Lulu blinked innocently at him.

Chen Bo then looked at Xu Yueqing.

Xu Yueqing remained calm.

He suddenly understood.

This woman responds better to force than gentleness.

And once it gets hard, it's harder than anyone else.

"Alright then." Chen Bo sighed. "You sisters can sort out your own affairs. Lulu, go record your song."

He turned and walked towards the basement.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome!" Zhao Lulu quickly grabbed her bag and followed.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and wink at Xu Yueqing.

Xu Yueqing did not respond to her.

She simply leaned back on the sofa, watching Chen Bo's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

Then she looked down at the group chat with 99+ messages on her phone screen.

Zhou Lingyan was still cursing.

Bevy remained silent.

Li Man was just added back to the group last night. After seeing a screen full of messages, she sent a string of ellipses and then left again.

Zhao Lulu feigned innocence in the group chat, saying, "It was just a coincidence."

Xu Yueqing did not reply to any of the messages.

basement.

Chen Bo turned on his computer and started setting up the equipment.

Zhao Lulu was secretly glancing at him from the side.

"Chen Bo," she couldn't help but ask, "you and Yue Qing... have you gotten back together?"

Chen Bo didn't look up: "No."

"So what about you guys last night...?"

"If it had been you last night, and you had said you wanted to come up and sit for a while, I wouldn't have refused."

Zhao Lulu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Should she sit or sit down?

Is Yueqing so unreserved now?

This man must have cast a spell on Yue Qing, the kind that costs hundreds of millions.
