Chapter 376: There is no room for lies between you and me



Liu Jiayao took over Qinglan Cosmetics at just twenty-three years old, a company of such scale, and her conversation, demeanor, social skills, and insight were naturally beyond what Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, those two girls, could compare with.

She greeted Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie with a smile, giving Ge Dongxu a meaningful glance, but asked nothing.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ge Dongxu took the initiative and said, "You'll be discussing the script tonight, right? Sister Liu and I won't bother you then. If there's any issue with that foreigner earlier and if there's any blame from above, just let me know."

"Thank you, Brother Dongxu, I'm much more at ease with your words," Director Wu said with a smile.

Ge Dongxu smiled, pointed at Director Wu, and after saying goodbye to Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, he pulled Liu Jiayao away to get some food.

As for the long-haired man—that is, the director of the drama—Ge Dongxu barely paid him any attention.

Although he had spoken softly to Director Wu and was somewhat distant, given his hearing, if he had noticed Jin Yushan and the others, how could he possibly not have heard their conversation?

"Why the rush to draw a line between me and Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie? Don't tell me you have a guilty conscience?" After getting their food and sitting face to face by the window, Liu Jiayao looked at Ge Dongxu and asked with a smile.

"Don't guess wildly, I'm just ordinary friends with them," Ge Dongxu's heart skipped a beat as he quickly explained.

"Enough already, lying doesn't suit us. I can tell by looking in your eyes that while you might just be ordinary friends with them, you're definitely not with that high school senior sister," Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a white-eyed look, a tinge of sadness flickering deep within her beautiful eyes.

No matter what Liu Jiayao had said before, as a woman, when the day actually arrived, there was still that bit of sadness in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Sister Liu! Actually..." Ge Dongxu reached out and grabbed Liu Jiayao's hand, his voice full of guilt.

"You fool, why are you apologizing to me! Haven't I told you before? As long as you feel close to me, that's enough. Besides, with the way you are, I can't handle you by myself anyway!" Seeing the guilt on Ge Dongxu's face, Liu Jiayao's heart ached. She gripped his hand tightly and gave him a playful roll of her eyes.

Originally feeling guilty, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but be shaken by Liu Jiayao's last remark, and he looked at her with a sheepish smile. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

"Smiling? You still smile! Do you think this makes it all right?" Seeing Ge Dongxu smiling at her, Liu Jiayao felt there was a trace of smugness and couldn't help but glare at him irritably.

"No, of course not!" Ge Dongxu quickly appeased her with a grin.

Helpless, despite having a thousand reasons, it was always his fault that Liu Jiayao truly cared for him, yet he had other women in his life.

"I don't care! Even if it's for that reason, you have your justifications, but you still have to restrain yourself for me. Don't really bring me a whole group of 'sisters.' Otherwise, don't expect to ever enter my room again," Liu Jiayao warned him.

After all, no matter how magnanimous she was, she had her limits.

"It won't happen, I promise!" Ge Dongxu assured her earnestly, a definite look on his face.

"Alright, no need to promise anything! Don't I know you well? Just a reminder for you since you're so outstanding. I'm just afraid there will be too many women clinging to you; you have such a kind heart that you can't bear to let one go nor leave another behind," Liu Jiayao said with a glance at Ge Dongxu.

Upon hearing this, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned, realizing that Liu Jiayao indeed understood him well.

Speaking of which, as for his feelings towards Jiang Lili, it was hard to tell whether he had truly fallen for her or simply couldn't bear to hurt her. He probably started off fearing to cause her pain more than anything, and only later did it turn into a romance.

"I will be careful and certainly not easily get entangled in affairs of the heart," Ge Dongxu nodded earnestly after a while.

Since Liu Jiayao had hit the nail on the head regarding his personality, he really needed to pay attention!

This was also a strength of Ge Dongxu; as long as someone was right, he was always willing to take their advice with an open mind.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's serious expression, Liu Jiayao couldn't help but chuckle. She glanced at him and said, "Come on, don't make it so solemn; it's as if I'm a jealous pot."

"How could that be, Sister Liu is the kindest and most tolerant woman in the world," Ge Dongxu knew exactly what to say at that moment and replied at once.

"You and your sweet talk!" Liu Jiayao was clearly pleased with Ge Dongxu's words and poked his forehead with her finger.

"Hehe!" Ge Dongxu laughed proudly.

Liu Jiayao was clearly a smart woman. Since she had decided to let go, she wouldn't nitpick or dwell on it. She casually asked for the name of the high school senior and her current status, but didn't probe any further.

This made Ge Dongxu relax quite a bit; otherwise, had Liu Jiayao kept inquiring about Jiang Lili and his relationship, he would have certainly felt uneasy.

"Director Wu, who exactly was that Brother Xu just now? Is he the son of some leader in our province? But it seems there's no one called Brother Xu among the leaders' sons. And why do I get the feeling he's not just impressive but also a bit mysterious?" Elsewhere, the director asked Wu Longcai curiously, his voice lowered.

"Who he is, you don't need to ask. Just remember to be polite when you see him," Wu Longcai naturally wouldn't tell the director that Ge Dongxu was someone even the second generation of the Feng Family had to personally greet. He replied upon hearing this.

"Is it really that exaggerated? But considering what that Mr. Bravo said and the fact that Director Ni wasn't wrong, when it comes to foreign affairs, there's no small matter. And just now, you also didn't give face to Vice Mayor Lu, who must be pretty angry now. Mr. Bravo was publicly humiliated today, plus he got slapped twice by that Brother Xu. He surely won't let it go easily. If he goes back and misrepresents the situation like he did earlier, making a big fuss, and with Vice Mayor Lu already somewhat angry, if higher-ups speak out, can Brother Xu really cover for you in this matter?" The director expressed his surprise and was still somewhat worried and skeptical upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, the other party is just a foreign businessman, after all, and Spain is on the decline while our country is growing stronger every day. Could it be possible that they'll arrest Brother Xu just because of him?" Wu Longcai said.

"That's not necessarily the case. When it comes to international incidents, issues can quickly escalate to the national level. Even if Brother Xu really is some provincial leader's son, he could still be criticized," the director retorted skeptically.

Wu Longcai just smiled and said nothing further.

Although Huaxia Country has always been polite to foreign guests, there were certainly limits, and at the level of the Feng Family, how could they let a mere businessman from Spain bully them?
