Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 265 Theme Competition: The President's Sunny Day (5)

The next day, Xia Qingtian neither went to work nor asked for leave; no one knew where she had gone.

Shi Qi originally planned to dismiss her, but she came back the next day, saying that she was not feeling well yesterday and did not have time to ask for leave.

Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi enjoyed a few peaceful days when they received a call from Fu Yunxiang's mother, who said she wanted to discuss a marriage alliance with the Gong family.

Wait a minute—wasn't he always at home kissing, hugging, and lifting Anzhi up high? How come he's getting married to someone else in the blink of an eye?

Gu Shijiu couldn't understand: "Gong Ye agreed?"

"What could he possibly disagree with? You've been engaged for so long, and Gong Ye's parents have been urging you on," Fu's mother said impatiently.

"Oh." Gu Shijiu was experienced; this meant a new plot was about to unfold.

Sure enough, she had just hung up the phone when she received a call from Gong Ye: "Fu Yunxiang—"

Gu Shijiu rolled her eyes, unusually speaking to her so calmly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gong Ye wasn't angry: "Fu Yunxiang, I think our marriage can be postponed."

"Oh, I don't care," Gu Shijiu said, playing with her fingers while a grape that Shi Qi had given her was dangling from her mouth.

Gong Ye was silent for a while, then assured him, "I will definitely marry you, but I'm not ready yet."

"Didn't I already agree? Let's just call off the engagement." Gu Shijiu said nonchalantly.

Gong Ye felt she was just saying things out of anger, but since he needed her help, he could only coax her: "Then can you tell your family that you want to get married later?"

"Why?" Gu Shijiu covered the phone's microphone with her hand and looked at Shi Qi.

"Because he can't go against his parents, he wants you to take the blame. Just let him do as he pleases and don't bother you," Shi Qi whispered her analysis.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shijiu's hand wasn't tight enough, and her voice drifted over to Gong Ye's side.

"Fu Yunxiang, who's next to you? What nonsense is he spouting?" Gong Ye gritted his teeth in anger.

"Oh, you heard everything." Gu Shijiu wasn't embarrassed at all. "Then that's settled. Do whatever you want, you don't need to tell me."

"Fu Yunxiang, don't forget whose fiancée you are, and who the man next to you is. Tell me honestly!" Gong Ye became angrier and angrier, looking like he had been cuckolded.

"I'm not telling you." Gu Shijiu stuck out her tongue, but unfortunately the video wasn't on, so the other person couldn't see it.

Gong Ye grew increasingly furious: "I'm going to tell your parents that this marriage is off!"

"It doesn't matter." Gu Shijiu hung up the phone.

Gong Ye was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged when he heard the dial tone coming from the receiver.

In the end, the wedding date was set according to the wishes of both sets of parents.

When the wedding arrangements were being discussed, apart from a few elders, neither Gong Ye nor Gu Shijiu attended, saying they were too busy with work.

Gong Ye manages several shopping malls, so it's understandable that he's busy with work. But Gu Shijiu doesn't have any work at all, and yet she says she's busy, which is a bit unreasonable.

Only then did the Fu family realize that Gu Shijiu had actually gone to another city and stayed there for quite some time, having a great time and forgetting all about home.

Fu's mother called Gu Shijiu again: "Didn't you like Gong Ye before? Why is he never around now?"

I've heard he has a close relationship with that adopted daughter of his. If you leave like this, aren't you just handing him over to someone else?

"Oh, so you all knew." Gu Shijiu thought the Fu family didn't know.

"Sigh, that's just how men are. No matter how much they play around outside, they're fine as long as they come home. Gong Ye is a very good catch, so don't be too demanding..."

Mother Fu rambled on and on, all in a way that Gu Shijiu couldn't understand.

"That's all I have to say. Mom is doing this for your own good. It's settled then. Come back as soon as possible."

......

"Uncle, Aunt Fu says she likes you, but she's secretly keeping a gigolo. That's really going too far. Why don't you not marry her?" On the other side, An Zhi hugged Gong Ye's waist and acted coquettishly.

Gong Ye really wanted to do it, but he knew that such a reason would never convince his family.

It was originally a political and business marriage, and there are many couples like them who have no emotional foundation. It's not uncommon for them to go their separate ways after marriage, and they don't stop getting married because of this.

Gong Ye wanted to say that he didn't want an arranged marriage and wanted to marry the person he liked, but he could never leave the Gong family. Like Fu Yunxiang, he was just a pawn in the cooperation between the two families.

The businesses he currently manages are all allocated to him by the Gong family. Once his family stops supporting him, he won't actually have much to hold onto.

The reason he was planning to establish a clothing brand for his family was to increase his influence; he needed to achieve some results first.

To endure this to the point of sacrificing marriage for the sake of the future, marrying a woman I don't love, and now this woman is seeing other men—it's so painful, so humiliating!

Thinking of An Zhi's father, Gong Ye felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Why was God making things so difficult for him?

Why did he fall in love with An Zhi? It's truly a cruel twist of fate.

While Gong Ye was struggling with this dilemma, Shi Qi had already found An Zhi's mother and settled her in.

An's mother had a very difficult life before. After her husband died, she was constantly being hunted down and was forced to leave the country. She didn't even have time to take her daughter with her.

Even knowing that Gong Ye had taken An Zhi away, there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, Gong Ye couldn't let An Zhi die if he wanted the An family's brand, otherwise other members of the An family would definitely try to take it.

Having thought all this through, An's mother decided to lie low abroad and plan her move slowly.

She always thought that Gong Ye would treat An Zhi well for the sake of the brand, but she didn't expect that he would treat her well, except that he almost treated her well in bed.

Mother An held up photos taken by a private investigator, all of which showed Gong Ye and An Zhi together at convention centers, amusement parks, and upscale restaurants... The pink bubbles were practically overflowing.

That's all. Shi Qi also sent a video over.

In the scene, An Zhi hugs Gong Ye and cries sadly: "Uncle, why do you have to get married? Can't you not marry Aunt Fu?"

Gong Ye patted her on the back: "This is a marriage alliance between two families."

"But you don't like her at all," An Zhi cried, her sobs growing more heartbroken. "What will I do if you get married?"

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Gong Ye hugged her back. "She's just for show, you don't need to care about her—"

An Zhi raised her head and kissed Gong Ye's lips: "Uncle, I like you, take me."

Gong Ye looked shocked: "How old are you? Where did you learn all this? What are you thinking about all day at such a young age!"

After saying that, he pushed An Zhi away and fled in panic.

Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi watched with a grin: "Hahaha, what cheesy lines! What are these? How can anyone say them?"

Take me... take me... take me...

After seeing the video, An's mother was devastated. She had only thought that her daughter would live under someone else's roof, but she never expected that Gong Ye would be such a beast.

"She's only sixteen!!" Mother An was filled with grief and indignation, her eyes red as if about to bleed. She agreed to Shi Qi's cooperation plan. "What do you need me to do?"
