Chi Mo, an old acquaintance of Qiao Yu, frowned with concern: “Mr. Qiao, I know you’re unwilling to give up on what you’ve persisted with for so long, but in this situation, really…”
“Sorry.” Qiao Yu interrupted Chi Mo, his gaze cold and determined. “My decision won’t change, no matter the consequences.”
Chi Mo frowned, about to persuade him, but Qiao Yu spoke again: “I’ve already decided.”
“………” Chi Mo was helpless and could only try to develop a new treatment plan.
The new plan required Jian Ning to perform being deeply in love with Qiao Yu, using love to transform him.
Jian Ning had been listening for a long time. These two were discussing merging personalities, then eliminating them, and now changing the script.
This was no different from actors performing a play, with the director suddenly stopping and unilaterally announcing the script wasn’t good, and then changing the script for a re-performance.
When Qiao Yu made this decision, he didn’t even bother to ask her opinion or even look at her.
Did he really think she would agree to anything he decided?
Jian Ning was angry but understood she was in a weak position. She wasn’t stupid enough to directly show her dissatisfaction. She just raised her hand to interrupt their conversation, indicating she had something to say.
Qiao Yu finally deigned to look at her, his gaze indifferent: “What?”
Jian Ning smiled: “I want to know, with the changed script, will I still be playing Song Hao?”
“You will.” Qiao Yu replied and inexplicably looked away, as if it was obvious. Besides her, who else could play the role?
Thank you for affirming my acting skills.” Jian Ning continued to smile, “But since I’m the one performing, shouldn’t I have some say?”
Qiao Yu felt annoyed inside, restraining himself from lashing out: “What do you want?”
Hey, he’s actually being so cooperative?
Jian Ning was slightly surprised, but this was better, saving her from getting angry.
“You know, I’m an actor.” Jian Ning said: “I hope this time, you can find someone to write a more specific script for me, including the lines Song Hao should say, and then I’ll just act according to the script.”
“Okay.” Qiao Yu quickly nodded, but only he knew in his heart that he agreed reluctantly.
For some reason, he found the words like script, acting, and lines coming from Jian Ning’s mouth particularly grating, hearing them made him irritated and wanting to flip the table.
But he couldn’t do that, and had no reason to do so.
After all, whether he was willing to admit it or not, Jian Ning’s request was reasonable, and Chi Mu was watching from the side, though he didn’t care how Chi Mu saw him, but in front of him, he didn’t want to embarrass Jian Ning…
He was annoyed inside but unwilling to do so.
He couldn’t even explain why.
Maybe it was the emotions of his alternate personality affecting him.
In any case, he himself would never be so considerate.
“Thank you.” Jian Ning smiled, agreeing so quickly, was he in a good mood?
Not necessarily, his expression was cold and heavy, clearly extremely unhappy, just restraining himself from showing it.
But it didn’t matter, it was none of her business.
“Also…” Jian Ning seized the opportunity: “I need a more credible persona. Song Hao is human, and as a human, he must have work. He can’t just be in love and stick to his partner all day. If you want Song Hao’s persona to be more authentic, you must let him go to work. Only then can this persona stand up.”
After a round of nonsense, Jian Ning ignored Qiao Yu’s increasingly furrowed brows and finally said what she most wanted to say: “So, I hope you can let me go act as soon as possible, and moreover, Song Hao’s job is an actor. This way, I can portray him more genuinely.”
Jian Ning took a deep breath, looking at Qiao Yu expectantly.
Staying with Qiao Yu 24 hours a day was suffocating her. Acting was better, not only fun but also with various eye-catching young actors to look at. Unlike now, where all she saw was Qiao Yu and his alternate personality. She was exhausted from watching him all day yesterday.
However, Qiao Yu did not agree.
He withdrew his gaze, with an expression of “No means no, can’t be bothered to explain further”, and said to Chi Mu, who was standing silently and looking like he was enjoying the show: “That’s decided.”
Jian Ning: “………”
Chi Mu nodded with a smile, his eyes flickering, suddenly leaning close to Qiao Yu’s ear and whispering: “She’s really interesting.”
Qiao Yu suddenly changed his expression, looking at him sharply: “Chi Mu!”
Chi Mu’s smile deepened: “I’m just saying, why are you so nervous?”
Qiao Yu: “……… Sorry, I got emotional.”
Qiao Yu’s face looked terrible, it must be the alternate personality’s fault!
Jian Ning’s face also looked bad. She had said so much, just wanting Qiao Yu to compromise and let her act while treating him. But he insisted on her staying by his side all day, ready at any moment. Didn’t he find it annoying?
Angry as she was, Jian Ning still knew what was important. She had originally planned that if Qiao Yu absolutely refused, she would let it go this time and find another opportunity later.
Who knew this profiteer Qiao Yu had already had Chi Mu bring a contract when he made the phone call, and this time it was a three-year contract!
Jian Ning saw the words “three years” and flipped: “I won’t sign.”
Qiao Yu’s face turned cold: “If you don’t…”
Jian Ning was furious, her attitude unusually firm: “Qiao Yu! If you’re like this, then I quit. You can send me wherever you want.”
Qiao Yu reluctantly backed down: “I promise you, within a year I’ll send you to act.”
“Not signing.” Having already lost her temper, Jian Ning didn’t want to hold back anymore. She spoke directly: “I’ll wait at most three days. If you still stop me from going after three days, then there’s nothing more to say.”
“Jian Ning, don’t go too far.”
“I won’t sign, say whatever you want.”
“………”
Qiao Yu was furious, almost calling security to have her taken to a mental hospital, threatening while making the call: “I’ll give you an injection right now and make you an idiot!”
Jian Ning was speechless, almost dying from anger. Remembering the alternate personality choking her before, old and new grievances welled up in her heart. Unable to contain her anger, she grabbed a pillow and hit Qiao Yu.
Beside them, Chi Mu, who had long been stunned: “………”
Silently took several steps back.
Qiao Yu was enraged!
This was the first time his emotions were so intense. Logically, as such a cold person with no principles about not hitting women, he should have hit back hard when Jian Ning pinned him down and hit him with a pillow.
But damn it!
He couldn’t even strike back, and he didn’t dare to dodge!
Qiao Yu was beaten in a sorry state, furiously thinking that this was definitely the alternate personality’s fault!
If not for an alternate personality causing trouble, he couldn’t possibly have been beaten up by a woman like this!
This crazy woman is simply unreasonable!
Jian Ning this time, truly hit so satisfyingly!
Just imagine, from the moment you start working, being constantly exploited, made to do this and that, with a boss who frequently loses temper and doesn’t respect any of your ideas, and then suddenly one day you beat them up hard, and they don’t even dare to fight back.
Isn’t that satisfying?
Totally awesome!
However, looking at Qiao Yu lying on the bed, taking a long time to get up, hair messy, bandage on the forehead askew, mouth corner somehow bitten and bleeding, clothes and pants crumpled like a homeless person, so miserable, so frustrated, Jian Ning suddenly came to her senses and was so scared her face turned pale!
