Life is like a play, and Meng Jiao is an actress by background, so she is very familiar with acting skills.
What's more, the only audience is Zhao Dong. Under the emotion, everything comes easily.
Her acting skills were so perfect that even Zhao Dong almost believed her!
There was a strong gust of wind in her ears. Meng Jiao closed her eyes, as if she was relieved!
After a while, the slap did not fall.
Meng Jiao opened her eyes, "Why don't you hit me? Are you afraid that I will dirty your hands?"
"Forget it, since you already know what kind of woman I am now, can you please stop pestering me in the future?"
"Sorry, please get out of the way!"
Halfway through, Zhao Dong suddenly opened his mouth, "Are you tired?"
Meng Jiao raised her eyebrows, "Are you tired?"
Zhao Dong asked, "Are you tired of acting?"
Meng Jiao turned her head, her expression slightly flustered, "Zhao Dong, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Zhao Dong grabbed her, pulled up her sleeves, and then raised her wrist to his eyes, "Then what is this?"
In front of her eyes was a piece of bracelet, worn on her fair and slender wrist, which looked particularly delicate.
Zhao Dong's memories went back to a few months ago, when he had just received his first salary from Emperor Garden and bought a 925 sterling silver bracelet as a gift.
The price is not expensive, more than 100 yuan.
When I gave it away, I was worried that Meng Jiao wouldn't want it.
The result was unexpected, Meng Jiao accepted it readily.
Unexpectedly, she was still wearing this bracelet after so long.
Meng Jiao explained casually, "I am nostalgic and can't bear to throw it away."
"Since you want to go back, just take it away!"
With that said, she untied the bracelet and threw it directly at Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong looked at her and asked stubbornly, "Why do you have to reject people thousands of miles away?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide, Meng Jiao simply admitted: "Okay, I admit, I have liked you, but so what?"
"Zhao Dong, let me ask you, will you let go of Sophie now for me?"
"If you are willing to break up with her and give me a status, I can forgive you, and I am willing to go with you now!"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Meng Jiao pretended not to care.
But his fists were clenched tightly in one place, and even his heartbeat slowed down!
Zhao Dong did not hesitate at all, shook his head and said: "Impossible!"
"Sophie is my wife, I won't do anything wrong to her!"
Meng Jiao's eyes were aggressive, "Really?"
"Then you are responsible for her because of that piece of paper?"
"Or do you have to be responsible for her because you like her?"
Zhao Dong said silently: "Of course I like her!"
Meng Jiao continued to ask, "Which one do you like?"
Zhao Dong said without hesitation, "For her, I will give everything!"
Meng Jiao sneered, "So, you love her?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "Yes, I love her!"
Meng Jiao took a deep breath. The answer she had expected long ago caused her heart to contract unsatisfactorily.
She stared at Zhao Dong and asked, "Zhao Dong, since you love Sophie, you are reluctant to leave her."
"Then why are you pestering me now?"
"Let me tell you, even though I, Meng Jiao, have fallen into despair, I will never make a fool of myself!"
"Either you give me a status, or you stay away from me!"
Zhao Dong struggled and said, "Can't we be friends?"
"I want to help you as a friend!"
Meng Jiao seemed to have heard a joke, "Do you think we can be friends?"
Zhao Dong asked, "Why not?"
Meng Jiao clenched her fists, feeling an indescribable psychological gap.
She is also an extremely strong woman.
When Zhao Dong had nothing, she could ignore those worldly views.
But now the status between the two has reversed, and she doesn't even have the next month's living expenses. How should she face other people's evaluations, and how can she be friends with Zhao Dong coolly?
Meng Jiao took a deep breath, "Okay, Zhao Dong, since you feel you owe me, then I'll give you the chance to repay."
"Invest in a drama and let me play the leading role. Can you do it?"
Zhao Dong asked: "How much does it cost to invest in a drama?"
Meng Jiao shrugged, "If the cost is small, maybe five million."
Zhao Dong said honestly: "I'm sorry, I can't afford so much money now."
Meng Jiao was not surprised at all, "Can't do it?"
"Then what kind of friendship do you want to talk to me about? Wait until you can do it!"
Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows, "I remember you weren't so utilitarian before."
Meng Jiao laughed at herself: "Have you never heard of a sentence? It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
"Who wants to be treated like a dog if they are used to living a life of superiority to others?"
Zhao Dong didn't hesitate anymore, "Let's go, I'll take you home first."
"I'll help you find a solution regarding the character!"
…
The whole journey was silent.
After parking the car, Zhao Dong sent the man upstairs.
Meng Jiao didn't stop him, even if she knew she couldn't.
Just as he was about to take out the key and open the door, someone suddenly called him from behind, "Meng Jiao from 3301, wait a moment!"
Meng Jiao turned around and her expression changed, "Sister Wang..."
Zhao Dong also turned around to look, and saw a woman in her thirties walking over, with curly hair, a fat figure, and heavy makeup.
Meng Jiao's face looked a little unnatural, "Sister Wang, can we talk later."
The middle-aged woman looked at Zhao Dong and sneered mercilessly: "What's the matter? You have money to have a boyfriend, but you don't have money to pay the rent?"
"You know how to save face now? Why did you go there so early?"
After saying that, the woman looked at Zhao Dong again, looked up and down and said, "Looking at you, you don't look like a poor master. Please help pay the rent."
"I owe you three months. If you don't pay, I will kick you out!"
Meng Jiao was so ashamed that she tried her best to maintain her last bit of self-esteem in front of Zhao Dong.
As a result, she was afraid of what would happen, as if God was deliberately mistreating her.
She must completely tear off her last fig leaf in front of Zhao Dong!
Zhao Dong was afraid that Meng Jiao would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Go in first and pour me a glass of water. I'm a little drunk!"
Meng Jiao returned to the room in despair.
In shame and anger, she clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with flames!
Soon, the door opens.
Zhao Dong said in surprise: "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Meng Jiao returned to normal, "You helped me rent the house?"
Seeing Zhao Dong nod, she sighed: "I'll lend it to you, and I'll pay it back to you later."
Just as he was talking, there was a "creaking" sound from the shaking bed next door.
Because the room is not soundproofed, strange sounds can still be heard vaguely.
The atmosphere is awkward.
Zhao Dong broke the calm and said, "I will rent a place tomorrow if I have time."
“It’s not very convenient to live here.”
Meng Jiao was obviously used to it, "What's the inconvenience?"
“It’s close to the filming crew and easy to commute to. There are snacks and night markets downstairs.”
"Besides, you spend all day here with me, aren't you afraid that Sophie will know?"
Although Zhao Dong didn't know what kind of trouble Meng Jiao had encountered, he could tell that Meng Jiao was extremely sensitive now, so he didn't say much.
He stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, call me!"
Meng Jiao stood at the window until she saw the car lights downstairs disappearing, then she collapsed on the ground in a daze.
