Jiang Zhao was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Tomorrow is the day to go home so he is distraught and sleepless now.
In fact, he can also find an excuse to dodge this meeting, and he will find an opportunity in the future to coax Mrs. Xu well.
But what he was most worried about was what Han Tingfeng would say to his parents. With the characters of Mrs. Xu and Old Jiang, if they were really moved by Han Tingfeng’s fake face, they might try to match him and Han Tingfeng in the future.
Jiang Zhao pinched the bridge of his nose and clicked his tongue unhappily.
Besides, there was another thing that gave him a headache—about Xiao Siye.
He hadn’t contacted Xiao Siye for a few days, he was going to cool down his brain, which was hit by the adrenaline that day, and think about Xiao Siye. Xiao Siye didn’t rush him, but sent him one or two messages every day.
Jiang Zhao originally wanted to ignore it, but Xiao Siye sent a photo of his cat.
Snow white, cute and lovely.
…So Jiang Zhao shamelessly downloaded the original image and saved it.
In the endless irritability, Jiang Zhao found the only friend on the WeChat list who could chat with him: “I have a friend, and I have a very tangled matter.”
He put down his phone and prepared to wait for Qin Youyou to see the news the next day. Who knew Qin Youyou replied in seconds: “What’s the matter? Have melons[1] to eat? Let me be healthy?”
Jiang Zhao: “…”
He glanced at the game record, and sure enough, Qin Youyou was still in the canyon two minutes ago. Kill the Quartet, and even get five kills.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Zhao’s living room.
The can of Coke in Qin Youyou’s hand almost fell to the ground: “You said that your friend is going to get together with his rival?”
Jiang Zhao is going to get together with Xiao Siye? ! What did she miss out on? !
Jiang Zhao: “…not to be together. But now there is indeed an opportunity for me…my friend and him can benefit from each other.”
He thought about it a lot these days, and finally came to the conclusion that the only way to cut off Han Tingfeng is to end his singleness.
But catching a passerby at random will definitely not meet Jiang Zhaoi’s standard for his boyfriend, and he will never touch the ducklings in those clubs.
Jiang Zhao thought about a lot of candidates, and finally picked out Xiao Siye who barely passed the passing line.
And Xiao Siye happened to be interested in him… the kind of meaning that he wanted to be wrapped up by him.
He was not greedy for Xiao Siye’s body, he just wanted to have Xiao Siye act with him after signing an agreement. There is no need to say much about the acting skills of the actor, and what Xiao Siye needs are resources and money. He has never lacked these things in his hands. From the point of view of interests, he and Xiao Siye can also use each other and cooperate for a win-win situation.
Qin Youyou was already stunned by the news: “Well, it looks like this, if you take care of … if your friend takes care of the guy from the other family, it will do a lot of good.”
She took a sip of Coke to suppress her shock: “But after all the acting, will your friend’s former suitor really believe it?”
Jiang Zhao tossed the coin in his hand and frowned: “I don’t know either. But there is no other way at the moment, my friend is really annoyed with him.”
Qin Youyou thought for a moment, then nodded: “Then do it.”
Jiang Zhao looked at her.
“You also said that there is no other better way now,” Qin Youyou analyzed with him, “First of all, that suitor sounds like a character with no bottom line. If your friend tolerates it, it will definitely make him go ahead, and he will never get rid of him in the future. I know what’s going to happen.”
“Secondly, although your friend and your other friend have had differences before, but according to your description… the attitude of your friend toward your friend has been pretty good recently, and your friend’s senses toward him are still good. Okay, if it is two people who know each other well, it can also reduce an unnecessary running-in period.”
After Jiang Zhao listened to her words, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, “Then I will contact him tomorrow and take a look at his mean.”
He paused, then added: “I mean, contact that friend of mine.”
Qin Youyou: “…Well, your friend.”
It’s a classic “I have a friend” series.
She drank the Coke in one go and burped a carbonated bubble, feeling that she still couldn’t digest this huge melon.
An actor in the entertainment industry actually wants to support another actor – please, this is too exciting, right?!
–
The next morning.
Jiang Zhao stood at the door of the house for a while, calmed down, and pushed open the garden door.
He hesitated for a long time this morning, but he still didn’t call Xiao Siye.
No matter what, the phrase “I agree” was like a spell, lingering on his lips, but he couldn’t say it.
He had to bite the bullet and go home first, praying that the idiot Han Tingfeng hadn’t come yet.
However, as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Han Tingfeng who was helping Mrs. Xu water the flowers. Mrs. Xu also shouted to him happily: “Son, come and say hello to Xiao Han!”
Jiang Zhao’s lips twitched slightly, and he could only look at Han Tingfeng with a smile that was not smiling: “Long time no see.”
Han Tingfeng looked gentle, “haven’t you had breakfast yet? I made your favorite food, and it’s on the dining table.”
Jiang Zhao snorted and walked into the house. Mrs. Xu said angrily: “This kid, why don’t you even say thank you.”
Han Tingfeng comforted: “Xiao Zhao has always been this kind of character, I’m used to it.”
Mrs. Xu smiled like a flower: “Oh, only you are like this. A good friend can tolerate his unethical behavior.”
Jiang Zhao rushed all the way into his bedroom, locked the door with his backhand, and took a deep breath.
He felt that his blood pressure was rising rapidly. After a few seconds, he decisively called Xiao Siye: “Hello, Xiao Siye.”
Xiao Siye seemed to have been waiting for a long time: “Have you thought about the answer?”
“I have thought about it,” Jiang Zhao said without hesitation, “I promise you.”
Xiao Siye suddenly became quiet.
But Jiang Zhao could hear his sudden heavy breathing as if his emotions were out of control.
Jiang Zhao didn’t have time to think about it and said quickly: “Tomorrow I will let Zuo Xiaoqiu draw up an agreement to send to you, and we will talk about the details later in the evening. During the agreement, I need you to use your identity as my boyfriend with me. Acting, of course, you don’t need to be on the bed, you just need to pay attention to cooperate with me. Regarding remuneration and other resources, I can offer whatever you want, and I will do my best to satisfy you.”
“If you agree, our relationship can start now,” Jiang Zhao glanced at the time quickly, “I need you to get to the No. 7 building in the Lido Villa District in the capital as soon as possible. The sooner the better, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.” As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped.
Because he found that Xiao Siye seemed to have lost his voice.
Jiang Zhao couldn’t help but feel a little nervous: “Hey, are you still listening?”
Could it be that his conditions made Xiao Siye hesitate? But he didn’t mention anything excessive and even generously asked Xiao Siye to make an offer.
But if Xiao Siye didn’t agree, then he really had to live through torment today.
Jiang Zhao gritted his teeth: “Or if you have any questions, you can also discuss…”
“I promise.” The man’s voice was low and steady, and he couldn’t hear any emotions.
Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment: “You agreed?”
“Well,” Xiao Siye said, “I agree to all the conditions. Besides, while I am playing your boyfriend, you can do whatever you want to me, and I will do my best to cooperate.”
“Lido Villa Building 7, right?”
Jiang Zhao responded subconsciously.
Xiao Siye: “Okay, wait for me.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhao leaned against the door, his back that had been tense suddenly loosened, and slowly slipped against the door.
He sat on the floor of the room, froze for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.
He made a decision that went against the ancestors of the old Jiang family – he became someone else’s financial master, and the guardian object was his rival.
…what a nonsense way of life.
Jiang Zhao closed his eyes. The deed is done, so don’t think about it anymore. His purpose now is to deal with that idiot Han Tingfeng.
He walked downstairs. Mrs. Xu and Han Tingfeng had returned to the living room and were sitting and chatting on the sofa, while Old Jiang was reading the newspaper beside him.
“Mom,” Jiang Zhao cleared his throat, “I’ll go out and pick up someone later.”
Ms. Xu looked at him: “Who is it?”
Jiang Zhao adjusted his sweater: “My boyfriend.”
Han Tingfeng’s smile suddenly froze.
Ms. Xu’s eyes widened when she heard the words, and the newspaper in Old Jiang’s hand fell directly to the ground.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Siye drove to the gate of Jiang Zhao’s house.
He wears a suit and leather shoes, has wide shoulders and long legs, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a low-key sapphire brooch on his chest. His graceful presence is extravagant and restrained as if he was here to participate in a feast.
Mrs. Xu went to change into a more formal dress, and when she saw him, her whole person had star eyes: “Oh, Xiao Zhao, let me introduce, this is…”
“Hello, uncle and aunt, I’m Xiao Siye, Xiao Zhao’s boyfriend,” Xiao Siye smiled warmly, “Auntie, I haven’t seen you for so many years, how come you are younger and more beautiful.”
Xiao Siye is also worthy of being an actor, the lethality of that face is from the age of eight to eighty he can hit her with a single blow, Mrs. Xu directly covered her heart: “I remember you, you are Xiao Zhao’s senior, right? Have you been to Xiao Zhao’s coming-of-age ceremony?”
Xiao Siye smiled and said, “Auntie still remembers, really It’s flattering.”
When he spoke, his tone was gentle and unhurried, which made it very comfortable to listen to, and just a few words made Mrs. Xu smile. Just when Mrs. Xu greeted Xiao Siyewith surprise and joy, Han Tingfeng said abruptly:
“Mr. Xiao is Xiao Zhao’s boyfriend? When we met two days ago, they said that you and Xiao Zhao are just friends. Did I misunderstand?”
Xiao Siye was also about to answer, but Jiang Zhao took a step ahead of him: “We just got together recently. Don’t you believe it?”
Han Tingfeng didn’t follow the steps at all, staring at him closely: “I don’t believe it.”
Jiang Zhao sneered, a bit of disdain in his eyes.
He turned around suddenly, pulled Xiao Siye’s tie down, and without waiting for the people around him to react, he raised his head and kissed him.

Even Xiao Siye is shocked because of Jiang Zhao’s misunderstanding but he can take this opportunity
