Chapter 396 Frank confession
Gao Qi opened the chat box with Zhen Zhen, thinking of his mother's disbelief in his words.
He hadn't wanted to explain anything, but suddenly he wanted his mother to know that this time, he was telling the truth.
He wasn't lying; Zhen Zhen really was his girlfriend.
That's true; he and Zhen Zhen had agreed to be boyfriend and girlfriend for three months, and that agreement is still valid.
On a whim, Gao Qi sought advice from Zhen Zhen.
Hello, I'm facing some issues. My family is pressuring me to get married, and I need your help. Is that alright?
Zhenzhen woke up naturally, plugged in her phone to charge, and thought it was time to face everything.
As a public figure, she cannot hide behind the company forever.
Those who like her and support her are still waiting for her explanation.
She should also have a cooperative attitude towards the directors, artists, and brands she collaborates with.
If there's a problem, solve it; if there isn't, explain it clearly.
After eating the food my sisters cooked and getting a nice manicure, I had plenty of sleep and my mind was clear.
She has the courage to face anything and the ability to solve problems.
As a result, when I opened WeChat, I saw my contacts list with red dots lit up.
Gao Qi's friend request.
Gao Qi saved her, so all the previous unpleasantness has been settled.
And since Gao Qi had saved her life, she wanted to treat him to a meal.
I must accept this friend request.
Right now, I'm looking at the message Gao Qi sent me.
She understood that this meant helping each other.
"What do you need me to do?" she asked directly.
Zhen Zhen's straightforwardness was beyond Gao Qi's expectations.
But he understood Zhenzhen's meaning, and the burden in his heart was lifted a little.
I'll just show her a screenshot of your WeChat Moments. My mom isn't nosy. If she says she wants to see you later, I'll just say we've already broken up, so it won't cause you any trouble.
Zhen Zhen: [It's nothing.]
She never posts on WeChat Moments, so there's nothing wrong with screenshots.
Zhen Zhen felt that adults weren't so easily fooled.
After thinking about it, I decided to make a video call.
Gao Qi was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone. Seeing that it was a video sent by Zhen Zhen, he answered it without hesitation.
"How are your ears?" he asked Zhen Zhen.
"No problem, thank you for your concern," Zhen Zhen said politely.
Her politeness made Gao Qi feel the boundaries of social interaction, and he gradually became less resistant.
"I made a video call because I don't have any content on my WeChat Moments that can prove my identity. If she doesn't believe me, you can take a screenshot of our chat now, add the time of the video call, and she should believe me."
"Is it okay if your face is captured?" Gao Qi asked.
Similarly, Gao Qi didn't want to cause trouble for Zhen Zhen by helping him.
Zhen Zhen retorted, "How can you prove you're chatting with me if my face isn't showing?"
Gao Qi: "Then I'll wear a mask, showing my big face and yours with a small frame."
Zhen Zhen thought there was no problem, "Do as you say."
Since he's a doctor boyfriend, she hasn't revealed any personal information about Gao Qi.
Gao Qi wore a mask to cover his face, and had a simple men's buzz cut. In winter, he wore a hat, so no one could recognize him on the street.
This way, even if the photos are leaked, it will be easy to handle.
All we need to do is resolve the issue of Gao Qi's family pressuring him to get married.
After Gao Qi completed the steps, he saved the screenshot. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you." Zhen Zhen smiled. "May I ask why you don't want to get married?"
“It’s troublesome.” Gao Qi didn’t hesitate for a moment. “Marriage will affect my plans, and having another person will bring a lot of inconvenience.”
Zhen Zhen nodded, agreeing with him.
"I think so too. When we were on set, I really liked how calm and smart you were, like nothing could stump you. But after I saw your sharp tongue, I was instantly put down. You're only suited to be alone."
Gao Qi cleared his throat, somewhat embarrassed.
He joked, "It's a good thing you're not blind. Anyway, my mom has seen your TV series and speaks very highly of you."
"Of course, I'm quite self-aware of my acting skills." Zhen Zhen accepted the praise generously. "Thank you again for what happened in the stairwell. When are you free? Let's have a casual meal together."
"In a while, when it's convenient for you."
"OK, I'll contact you again."
"Ah."
The conversation went smoothly and naturally, yet maintained proper boundaries and normal social distancing, leaving both of them feeling relieved.
Zhen Zhen thought that she should face her feelings directly. If she liked someone, she liked them; if she didn't, she could say so.
What's remarkable is that she and Gao Qi share the same views on marriage.
She has no family, so she's suited to living alone.
Although I also envy Xiaoyue's warm and loving family, where everyone loves and protects her.
But even alone, she can live a good life with the company of her friends.
Zhen Zhen pulled herself together and checked the messages on her phone.
She's had her phone off for so long, and no one has contacted her, not even the director or producer.
"strangeness."
Zhen Zhen refreshed her phone's message list again, but still nothing.
Why don't they contact me?
"Sister, what's wrong?" DouDou brought her the washed fruit.
"My post is quite a hot topic, so why hasn't anyone sent me a message or called to scold me?"
Hearing Zhenzhen's cheeky tone, Da Dou realized that this was the Zhenzhen she knew.
DouDou's worries vanished instantly, and only then did she dare to convey the small boss's message to her.
"The boss called Brother Qiang and said he's taken care of everything. Liang Chao personally promised and signed that he won't ask you for money again and won't mention anything about you online. Your work won't be affected in any way. It's just that you'll have to put up with some grievances. The boss plans to release the evidence to clarify things when everyone is criticizing you and the company the most. Everyone needs this wave of attention and a reversal."
Logically speaking, Zhen Zhen should have been so happy upon hearing this good news that she should have jumped for joy.
But she just couldn't feel happy.
They even worried that the small business owner might be manipulated by Liang Chao in order to smooth things over.
"Did the young boss promise to give Liang Chao the money?"
That family were all insatiable.
If the small business owner hadn't offered them even greater incentives, why would they have so easily let her go, this cash cow?
DouDou shook his head. "The small boss dug a big pit for him. He will definitely not succeed."
"What huge pit?"
"Liang Chao thought that 'chopping off his hand' referred to the small business owner, so he called the police, intending to extort a large sum of money from him. Think about it, how could the small business owner be someone he could just mess with as he pleased? Besides, it wasn't the small business owner who chopped off his finger. He called the police, and they only accepted the case, but it's not easy for them to file a formal case. The person who chopped off his finger is probably already living a carefree life in some other country; why would they be waiting to be arrested?"
Zhen Zhen understood; the young boss was trying to cover up everything that was out in the open.
As for what's going on behind the scenes, Liang Chao certainly won't have an easy time.
Liang Chao himself wasn't a good person, and the police weren't stupid either.
Having escaped the parasitic Wang Ying family, Zhen Zhen felt extremely lucky.
Gao Qi sent all the screenshots to his mother, who was overjoyed.
Being a celebrity's daughter-in-law is quite prestigious.
She replied to Gao Qi, "Then Mom can rest assured. As long as you know what's going on, that's fine. You young people should focus on your careers and get married when the time is right."
Upon hearing the voice message, Gao Qi merely smiled easily without saying anything.
Having more friends means having more options, so I still want to thank Zhenzhen.
He knew very well that if it weren't for Zhen Zhen's celebrity status, his mother wouldn't have agreed so quickly.
