Oh, that angry tone! Every word expressed his dissatisfaction as a boyfriend.

Liang Liangwei honestly admitted her mistake: "I just didn't want my work to be affected, so I put that aside for now. I'm sorry, boyfriend, I was wrong~"

A few seconds later, the man called back, and she quickly answered.

Yan Zhixu: "Did you really break someone's necklace?"

Xiao Lu's assistant brought over coffee and snacks, which Liang Liangwei accepted and thanked.

She opened the lid of her coffee, took a sip, and then said, "It was indeed damaged, but it wasn't that serious. Her diamond wasn't broken; it was the platinum necklace that was damaged, and necklaces aren't worth much."

Yan Zhixu paused for a moment, then suddenly asked an unrelated question: "What are you eating?"

Liang Liangwei sipped her coffee, then took a bite of bread from the pastry box, and mumbled, "Coffee and croissant."

Yan Zhixu asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

Liang Liangwei: "Yeah, I was too busy at noon and didn't eat much."

Yan Zhixu: "Is your mood still affected?"

Liang Liangwei wanted to say no, but then she remembered what he had said: "Is your boyfriend just for show?" and changed her mind: "Somewhat."

Yan Zhixu looked displeased and asked in a deep voice, "Did that woman call you?"

Liang Liangwei: "Who is it? The person who posted the video?"

Yan Zhixu: "Do you think the person who posted the video and that actress are not the same person?"

Liang Liangwei: "I don't know that, since the person who uploaded it posted it from someone else's perspective."

Yan Zhixu scoffed, "But she called me?"

Liang Liangwei was slightly taken aback: "You mean... Le Peier called you?"

"Ah."

Liang Liangwei hurriedly asked, "What did she say to you?"

Yan Zhixu: "They said you broke her necklace, which was worth tens of millions, more than the penalty she had to pay to Bosch, and they wanted to use it to hedge against the loss."

Liang Liangwei gasped, "That's too insidious! You absolutely can't agree to that!"

This was something she never expected; Le Peier would actually think of using this method to evade the breach of contract penalty with Bosch!

She's dreaming too much!

Even if she and Yan Zhixu are boyfriend and girlfriend, she has no connection with the Bosch Group whatsoever, and Yan Zhixu has no obligation to make such a compromise for her.

Is Le Pei'er out of her mind, desperately trying anything?

Instead of answering, Yan Zhixu asked, "Did you check the diamond back then? Was it really worth that much money?"

Liang Liangwei pouted and said, "Who knows? That's just what she said. She also said that her uncle bought it at a French auction for more than 50 million, and that it came with a certificate and such, but she never showed it to anyone."

Yan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "A French auction?"

Liang Liangwei: "Well, I have been to Europe a few times to attend auctions. There are indeed some legendary jewelry items auctioned there from time to time. Some are worth tens of millions, and I've even seen some worth over a hundred million, so it's hard to tell if what she said is true or false."

Yan Zhixu suddenly chuckled, though it was unclear which of her words she was laughing at.

But that low chuckle carried a magnetic quality that sent electric shocks through Liang Liangwei's ears, making her heart flutter and her heart race.

Is it really necessary to be so alluring?

Yan Zhixu: "What a coincidence, I also saw the jewelry items at the auction over there. Maybe we just passed each other there."

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "How strange that you have the leisure to visit an auction."

Yan Zhixu: "Occasionally I buy interesting and valuable things to give as gifts."

Liang Liangwei: "Oh, you're giving it away? It must be someone very important to you, right?"

Otherwise, who would deliberately go to an auction to buy things as gifts? They may be valuable, but valuable gifts should be given to important people, shouldn't they?

Yan Zhixu lazily responded with an "Mmm," which made her feel uncertain and unconsciously a pang of jealousy rose in her heart.

Could it be... an ex-girlfriend or something?

The claim that they've never been in a relationship is just something that's been kept from them.

That makes sense. After living in such an open-minded country like the US for a long time, surrounded by tall, blonde beauties, how many men can truly stay single?

He's talented, handsome, and rich, so it's not surprising that he's had girlfriends before. It's really not surprising.

But she just couldn't help feeling sour.

Yan Zhixu was unaware that his girlfriend was already jealous. He simply said, "Since she's come to me, I'll handle this. Even if she comes to you later, just push the blame onto me."

Liang Liangwei: "How did this get pushed onto you?"

Yan Zhixu: "Say whatever you want, just tell her to come talk to me."

Liang Liangwei: "But you have to make sure you don't fall for her tricks, otherwise it's not worth it."

Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "I know."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Liangwei pursed her lips and glanced at the screen, still feeling a bit down.

Xiao Lu changed her clothes again, and after resting, the group got busy again.

~

Yan Beian had just signed the project investment contract with Bosch Group and received a call from the company's finance department saying that the first payment had been received. He happily knocked on Yan Zhixu's office door.

Yan Zhixu had just hung up the phone with his girlfriend when he saw him. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is the contract signed?"

Yan Bei'an: "It's signed, and the first payment has arrived. Thank you, Uncle."

Yan Zhixu nodded slightly: "Yes, do a good job, don't disappoint your dad and grandpa."

Yan Bei'an: "My uncle has invested so much money in my game company, shouldn't I make sure I don't let you down?"

Yan Zhixu didn't take it seriously: "It's just a small amount of money. I'm just helping out with a small favor, but if you do this well, it will make you look good in front of those two, which is more meaningful."

Yan Bei'an understood this principle well, and was therefore even more grateful for his help.

"Uncle, if you have time tonight, I'd like to invite you and Weiwei to dinner."

Yan Zhixu: "Another day, I have plans tonight."

Yan Bei'an: "Then tomorrow night?"

Yan Zhixu: "No rush. Let's talk about it after you've finished this busy period and after I get back from abroad."

He said he wanted to explain his relationship with Liang Liangwei to his family before he came back, which meant that they would have dinner together after that.

Yan Beian understood and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll remember that. I'll head back now, Uncle."

Yan Zhixu nodded slightly.

Yan Bei'an then left.

On the way back, I received a call from Xiao Ling.

"Mom, I'm driving, what's up?"

Xiao Ling asked worriedly, "Did you know about Weiwei being posted online?"

Yan Bei'an was slightly surprised: "What? She was exposed online?"

Xiao Ling clicked her tongue and said, "And you call yourself her boyfriend? You didn't even know something like this happened to her!"

Yan Bei'an: "Please briefly explain what happened."

Xiao Ling then recounted the incident involving the video online, and added, "Although the video was quickly taken down, it's a bit strange. Who took the video down? Why is there no follow-up? Weiwei hasn't said anything either. Whether it's true or not, I think some people are still speculating about it."

Yan Bei'an frowned and said, "Mom, don't pay too much attention to these kinds of rumors. Weiwei hasn't said anything either, has she?"

Xiao Ling: "That's why I find it strange. I don't know her current situation, whether she knows or not. It's tens of millions. As her boyfriend, you should find out the truth about this and not leave a girl feeling helpless."

Yan Beian looked at the road conditions, stopped at a traffic light, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He really wanted to tell his mother right now that he and Liang Liangwei had broken up, but he didn't want to argue with her on the phone.

I could only try to speak in a calm tone: "I'm driving. Please wait while I contact her and find out what happened."
