Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Next day:

Yang Chu had only been asleep for a short while when Xu Li and Gan Jing packed up and left.

When Yang Chu slept until a little after 3 p.m., Li Jiaqing packed up some food and said to Yang Chu, "Sir, after you've finished eating, go back to your room and rest for a while. Just leave the dishes and chopsticks there, I'll wash them when I get back."

Yang Chu looked at Li Jiaqing with some confusion and asked, "Are you going out?"

Li Jiaqing nodded and said, "We need to go out and buy some things. Miss Xu and Miss Gan stayed here last night, so we need to buy some things."

Yang Chu understood what Li Jiaqing meant. Xu Li and Gan Jing had stayed here last night, and this morning they didn't even have toothbrushes to brush their teeth. They simply washed up and left.

After finishing the food on the table in a few bites, Yang Chu said, "Let's go, let's go out and buy some together! It'll be faster that way."

Just as Li Jiaqing was about to say no, she saw that Yang Chu had already changed his shoes.

Li Jiaqing had no choice but to go out shopping with Yang Chu.

Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing bought a lot of daily necessities, each carrying two large bags of things.

When I got back to Ode to Joy, I ran into Andy, who was waiting for the elevator.

After nodding to each other, the two entered the elevator one after the other.

Just as the elevator reached the first floor, they suddenly heard Qu Xiaoxiao's voice.

"The neighbor who called the police the day before yesterday drives a Porsche 911 and lives here. There must be something wrong with her. So I asked my friend to check, and sure enough, the car wasn't registered in her name. It belongs to a business tycoon. ... Under what circumstances would a man lend his car to a woman? So, I can conclude that she's a mistress."

Just as Qu Xiaoxiao was speaking animatedly, the elevator doors slowly opened, and the atmosphere became deathly quiet.

Talking badly about someone behind their back has turned into talking badly about them to their face, and even Qu Xiaoxiao, who has the thickest skin, feels embarrassed.

Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Jiaqing smiled and hugged Yang Chu's arm, whispering, "If I were her, I would definitely want to crawl into a hole in the ground."

Yang Chu flicked Li Jiaqing's nose and said, "That's because you're so shy, you just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into."

When Fan Shengmei saw Andy, Yang Chu, and Li Jiaqing in the elevator, she quickly thought about what they had said earlier.

He quickly went through all the words in his mind and realized that they hadn't said anything. So he gave Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer a wink and walked into the elevator.

Qu Xiaoxiao was the only one left outside the elevator. Although she was so embarrassed that she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her feet, she couldn't lose her pride as a rich second-generation, so she gritted her teeth and stepped into the elevator.

Just as Yang Chu and Li Jiaqing were enjoying the show, Yang Chu suddenly thought of a question.

It seems there's something wrong with this elevator. In the original story, there were only five people, and the elevator didn't slip. But now there are seven people, and the weight is completely different, so there's a high chance the elevator will slip.

Yang Chu glanced at the elevator. It was only on the second floor, and he wanted to get out of the elevator as soon as possible. Just as Yang Chu was about to press the elevator button...

Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly said to Andy, "You heard what I just said, right?"

Andy glanced at it indifferently, smiled, and said nothing.

Qu Xiaoxiao thought Andy had backed down, so she became even more demanding.

"Hey! You're quite self-righteous, aren't you? Too bad, nothing stays hidden forever. You think that just because some people are hiding you here, no one will know your background? You know Tan Zongming, right?"

When Andy heard Qu Xiaoxiao mention Tan Zongming, she asked with some surprise, "You know Old Tan?"

"What do you think? I hate mistresses the most...!"

Halfway through her sentence, Qu Xiaoxiao noticed Yang Chu's furrowed brow.

This made Qu Xiaoxiao somewhat wary. A couple of days ago, when Yang Chu and Qu's mother were arguing, Yang Chu said that Qu's mother was a mistress. Qu Xiaoxiao thought that Yang Chu knew about their family's background, so she didn't dare to be so presumptuous now.

Qu Xiaoxiao restrained herself a bit, but Li Jiaqing burst out laughing.

Hearing Li Jiaqing's laughter, Qu Xiaoxiao said fiercely, "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Yang Chu originally wanted to press the elevator button, but when he saw Qu Xiaoxiao diverting the conflict to them, he was about to step in and fight back.

Li Jiaqing looked at Qu Xiaoxiao with a smile and said, "To call you an idiot, a hobbit, is an insult to idiots."

When Qu Xiaoxiao heard Li Jiaqing cursing at her again, she said angrily, "Don't you have any manners? You start cursing at people right away. Do you really think I won't dare to cause you trouble? Don't think that just because you own a courtyard house and two apartments in Shanghai you're rich. In my eyes, you're just poor bastards."

Li Jiaqing was also a little angry when she heard what Qu Xiaoxiao said.

"Calling you an idiot is an insult to idiots, and that's no exaggeration. The things you found were only shown to you by others. Do you really think they didn't want you to see them? You idiot!"

After saying that, he looked at Andy and said, "Andy, of Chinese descent, a Wall Street executive..."

Li Jiaqing was halfway through her sentence when Yang Chu frowned and said, "Shut up! Why are you so nosy about other people's business!"

Upon hearing Yang Chu's reprimand, Li Jiaqing quickly lowered her head and said, "Jiaqing knows she was wrong, please punish me, sir!"

Yang Chu glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy, then said to Li Jiaqing, "We'll talk about it when we get back!"

Yang Chu's scolding of Li Jiaqing wasn't out of reproach, but rather because the elevator was likely about to malfunction, and they didn't know if there was still time.

Just as Yang Chu was about to press the elevator button again.

Andy suddenly looked at Yang Chu in a cold voice and said, "You investigated me?"

Yang Chu had no choice but to stop what he was doing and looked at Andy, saying, "I've seen your profile in a financial magazine."

Andy didn't seem to believe Yang Chu and kept staring at him, as if demanding an explanation.

Yang Chu, the original owner of this body, had indeed seen that financial magazine, which did contain Andy's biography.

So Yang Chu closed his eyes and began to speak: "On XX month XX day, issue 6, page 12, upper half, Andy, Chinese, 27 years old, Wall Street elite executive, annual salary of two million..."

Yang Chu quickly recited the introduction and looked at Andy, saying, "Should I also go over the profile of the people featured in that issue of the financial magazine?"

Seeing Yang Chu's confident demeanor, Andy said, "You can also have a photographic memory?"

Yang Chu glanced at Andy again and said, "I've given you the explanation you wanted. Now..."

Yang Chu had only spoken halfway when the elevator slammed shut with a bang, and then the lights inside went out.
