Chapter 208 Jealousy
what happened?
Wang Yanxi looked shocked.
How did Peng Wenjing manage to say such a calm statement after seeing the trending topic?
He's the main figure in the public opinion, can't he react more strongly like her?
This leaves her to struggle all by herself.
"Did President Peng simply accept being embroiled in public opinion?"
Wang Yanxi looked at him, forcing a smile, "It's fermenting so quickly now, aren't you worried that the Peng family will be affected?"
Upon hearing this, Peng Wenjing met the other person's gaze and smiled, "Are you talking about the statement released this morning?"
"correct."
Wang Yanxi nodded, "We said last night that we wanted to call off the engagement, but now that this has happened, how can we call it off?"
Peng Wenjing waved his hand, "Then I won't refund it."
"..."
Wang Yanxi was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"
What's going on here?
"I don't plan to call off the engagement."
"..."
Wang Yanxi gasped and jumped up. "I agreed on this last night, how could you change your mind? Are you playing me for a fool?!"
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. "Was that statement also written by you?"
"..."
Peng Wenjing did not deny it.
"I didn't have the heart to dampen your spirits last night because I saw you were happy."
"Peng Wenjing!"
Wang Yanxi called him by his name directly, "Are you out of your mind? We've never gotten along since we were kids, how could we possibly get married?"
Either she's gone mad, or he's gone mad.
Although they rarely saw each other after they grew up, they were notorious rivals in their respective families when they were children. Whenever they met, they would either argue or fight, and only when their elders intervened would they calm down.
"What, you're not calling me General Manager Peng anymore?"
Peng Wenjing's smile widened. "It really does sound much better to call someone by their name."
"...You really are..."
Wang Yanxi glared at Peng Wenjing, then left the office and the Peng Group.
She thought Peng Wenjing could help her turn the situation around, but she never expected them to be birds of a feather, wolves in sheep's clothing, and conspiring together!
Fuck off!
Wang Yanxi stormed back to her car and started swearing.
"Get lost! You're still just as annoying as you were when we were kids!"
Her agent looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Did you get into a fight?"
"Arguing? Am I the kind of person who would argue?"
Wang Yanxi chuckled, "I won't argue with people like them, it's a waste of my time!"
quarrel!!
Hehehe...
quarrel?
Wang Yanxi thought about it carefully and realized that she and Peng Wenjing hadn't actually argued just now.
It was just her arguing; the other person remained indifferent.
I rely on!
Thinking this way, Wang Yanxi felt even more unhappy.
Peng Wenjing simply looked down on her and didn't even want to argue with her.
Seeing her like this, the agent offered a few words of comfort before asking, "Where are you going?"
Wang Yanxi drank a glass of water, took a deep breath, and said, "Back to the set."
"But I've already asked the director for leave for you."
"Then cancel it. I love going to work, and my work loves me too..."
"alright."
As long as I don't meet with those annoying people right now, it's fine.
But unfortunately, Peng Wenjing was the one who invested in the drama, and he would often appear on set. Their relationship was the talk of the town, and everyone knew that he was there to see her whenever he showed up.
Every time her assistant rushed over, Michelle Wang knew it was no good news.
"sister!"
Wang Yanxi reached out to stop her from speaking, "Is Peng Wenjing here again?"
She went from being annoyed at first to getting used to it now.
That's it, let's just give up.
She wasn't afraid of people saying she rose to power through resources, because as a daughter of the Wang family, she didn't need to rely on a Peng family project to get promoted.
"Yes, not all."
The assistant shook her head. "Sister Yiran is here too."
"what?"
This was clearly unexpected for Wang Yanxi.
Why is she here?
"Sister Yiran ran into President Peng and they were chatting outside."
"chat?"
Wang Yanxi threw down her script and exclaimed, "Where are we going to chat? Take me there now!"
In Wang Yanxi's mind, their conversation was tantamount to them gossiping about her behind her back.
outside.
Su Yiran was having a great chat with Peng Wenjing when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice!
"Su Yiran!"
Su Yiran felt a little uncomfortable being called by Wang Yanxi's full name.
Wang Yanxi walked over, looking at the two of them warily, and pulled Su Yiran away, saying, "You come to me if you want to, but what are you talking about with him? What's there to talk about?"
"Are you jealous?"
Su Yiran smiled at her, "Don't worry, I have my Mr. Gu, that's enough. I don't want to be two-timing for now. Peng Wenjing has a friend who's interested in the gallery and wanted to introduce me to him. He was just telling me about it when you arrived."
"Who cares what you're talking about?"
Wang Yanxi pouted, "No, me being jealous? What a joke, how could I be jealous? If it weren't for the fact that he's the biggest investor in our drama, I wouldn't even want to see him."
Su Yiran retorted, "If you dislike him so much, why are you still staying?"
"If you run away, you'll have to pay a penalty for breach of contract."
"Are you kidding me? Can't the Wang family even afford this small penalty for breach of contract? Or should I pay it for you?"
"..."
Wang Yanxi bit her lip and held Su Yiran's hand, "Alright, I admit, I don't seem to hate him that much, but!"
She emphasized, "At most, we have a normal working relationship. There's no possibility of anything developing further. Don't ask around."
"Oh……"
Su Yiran deliberately drew out her words, "I know, this is to avoid suspicion. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Su Yiran!"
"I'm here, do you need to shout so loudly? You're deaf."
"Don't talk about him anymore. He comes to the film set two or three times a week now, and I'm getting annoyed by him."
Wang Yanxi said coquettishly, "You don't even comfort me, and you're just poking at my sore spots. I'm going to be sad... By the way, what brings you here today? It can't be just to gossip, right?"
"Um... there is something I need to take care of."
Su Yiran said, "I just wanted to ask you about Lingwu."
"what?"
Wang Yanxi hesitated, "It's not good to talk about people behind their backs."
"I've been asked to talk about others again."
Su Yiran asked, "What is Ling Wu's relationship with her family?"
Wang Yanxi thought about it carefully and said, "It's fine, they're just getting along normally. What's wrong? Why did you suddenly want to ask about their relationship?"
"Well... a while ago, I happened to run into Lingwu and her family. It seemed like they had a quarrel and it wasn't very pleasant. I was just curious, so I came to ask you about it."
Su Yiran recounted everything that happened that day in detail.
Wang Yanxi was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know about that. I've never heard her mention it before... But she hasn't been doing well lately. You two haven't had much contact, so you probably can't tell, but I've known her for so many years, I can still tell. But since she doesn't say anything, I don't want to ask too much. Hearing you say this today, maybe it's because of something that happened with her family."
