Chapter 137 - 137: His Ex-girlfriend
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other.
One was sitting in the car downstairs smoking, and the other was hiding behind the balcony in a daze.
It was about three in the morning when the car downstairs showed signs of leaving.
Qi Yan’s eyebrows relaxed. After the car disappeared, she did not get up immediately.
After waiting for a while and confirming that the other party did not turn back again, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Qi Yan moved her stiff limbs after holding her back and standing up, making her grimace in pain.
She hurriedly washed up and climbed into bed.
For some reason, she was no longer sleepy after washing up.
Her mind was filled with the scene of Nan Zhe rolling up the car window and leaving.
She could not tell what she was feeling.
Seeing him leave, she relaxed a little, but there was a place in her heart that was a little empty.
Forget it. She decided not to think about it anymore.
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep quickly.
15 minutes later, Qi Yan sighed and could not fall asleep at all.
Picking up the phone beside her, she scrolled through a few apps in boredom and finally opened Weibo.
She was considered in the entertainment industry, so she had to pay attention to entertainment gossip occasionally.
When she saw the top trending topics, Qi Yan’s drooping eyelids instantly opened.
The nosy parker in her had awakened!
She could not wait to click on it. Then, she saw the top trending topic: [Xiao
Xiao’s relationship has been exposed.]
Xiao Xiao? She was actually an acquaintance.
This was not the end. Immediately after the second trending topic was an even more familiar name: [Nan Zhe is suspected of cheating by dating Xiao Xiao.]
Third trending topic: [A retelling of Nan Zhe and Qi Jia’s relationship.]
A series of three trending topics piled up, making Qi Yan dumbfounded.
Nan Zhe, Xiao Xiao, and Qi Jia.
She recognized all three names when she looked at them separately.
Nan Zhe was her old classmate and good brother.
Xiao Xiao was the artist she had just worked with yesterday. She was a new-generation actress.
Qi Jia had briefly interacted with Qi Yan because of the jewelry incident yesterday, but she was not familiar with her. After all, she was an A-list actress and the leader of the fashion and entertainment circles. Qi Yan had yet to have a chance to collaborate with her.
However, when the three of them were placed together, she was a little confused.
Were the three of them… related in some way?
Why did she suddenly not understand?
After clicking on the first trending topic, she quickly saw the article written by the marketing account. There was a photo of Nan Zhe visiting Xiao Xiao at work. He had embarrassed his ex-girlfriend, Qi Jia, for the sake of Xiao Xiao. The entire article was actually very simple. It was about the set of jewelry yesterday.
In the article, Qi Jia was also berated and accused of doing this on purpose.
She Imew everything about this jewelry. It wasn’t as written in the other party’s article. She was the one who begged Nan Zhe for help. It had nothing to do with Xiao Xiao.
However, Qi Yan’s attention was not on this now.
The article mentioned a key point: [Ex-girlfriend Qi Jia].
What kind of gossip was this?
She clicked on the second and third trending topics and slowly read the comments from various netizens.
[Could it be that Qi Jia used this matter to take revenge on Xiao Xiao because she was dumped by Nan Zhe?]
[Come on, when did Nan Zhe and Qi Jia get together? Did Nan Zhe admit it?
Has he been photographed together? What’s this nonsense here?]
[What do you mean they are not together? Previously, Nan Zhe stood up for Qi
Jia at some award show and threw a fit for his girl! Have you all forgotten?!]
[Regardless of whether Nan Zhe and Qi Jia were together before, it looks like Nan Zhe is really together with Xiao Xiao now.]
As one of the parties involved in yesterday’s incident, Qi Yan was certain that Nan Zhe and Xiao Xiao did not know each other at all.
This was because Nan Zhe did not go down to visit after delivering the jewelry. He did not ask which artist she was working with that day.
But Qi Jia…
Everyone in the comments made sense as if they were not groundless.
Qi Yan became serious and immediately searched for the rumors about Qi Jia and the classic scene of Nan Zhe throwing a fit for his girl.
These things naturally could not be erased from the internet.
Within a few minutes, she saw what she was looking for.
Just as the netizens had said, Qi Jia was an artist at an entertainment company under Nan Zhe’s name. She was also the first artist in this entertainment company. In the first year of the company’s establishment, there was only one artist in this company.
If it were some small workshop, no one would be too surprised.
Although Nan Zhe was not from the industry, he was a known figure. With his status, he could always nurture more than one artist. Therefore, everyone felt that he did not open a company and happened to sign Qi Jia. Instead, people felt he only started his company after finding Qi Jia.
To put it bluntly, Nan Zhe’s little girlfriend wanted to make a name for herself. Nan Zhe started a company to help her with a wave of his hand.
This explanation was quite reasonable. Moreover, many netizens online liked the idea of them dating, so a lot of people bought this idea.
In particular, Qi Jia herself was very hardworking and had endless resources. In addition, her acting skills and looks were excellent. Before long, she became an A-lister using a television drama.
It was also because of this television drama that people in the industry felt Qi Jia deserved an award. Even Qi Jia and Nan Zhe felt the same way.
However, Qi Jia unexpectedly failed to win the award. Later on, Nan Zhe was captured at the award ceremony kicking a huge fuss.
Unfortunately, the complete video clip of this event could no longer be found anywhere. It was probably removed by the organizers.
However, Qi Yan still managed to find some videos taken by others present.
Although the video was blurry, she still recognized Nan Zhe at a glance.
On the screen, the man in a black suit left the ceremony angrily. Immediately after, a woman in a gorgeous evening gown jogged after him.
Although the quality of the footage was blurry, it inexplicably looked like it was processed with a filter. Coupled with some background music, it might even feel like an idol drama.
The video only lasted for more than ten seconds. It stopped at the end and automatically played again.
Qi Yan did not pause the video and watched it carefully more than 20 times.
At first, she admitted that she might have dug out the video purely out of curiosity. Or perhaps she wanted to figure out the entire situation before dealing with today’s trending topic. After all, she had a part to play.
However, after watching it so many times, her mood was slowly changing.
Before the video automatically turned black and was about to start playing again, Qi Yan exited and returned to Weibo.
She wanted to go back and scroll through everyone’s comments to see if there were any other voices.
This was just a short clip, so she was not ready to make a judgment.
At this moment, Qi Yan still did not realize that she was still harboring some kind of hope in her heart.. Although she said that it did not matter, she had always wanted to overthrow something in her heart…
