Chen Chunyao was almost crazy with joy.
She knew that her suggestion to Qi Ye to make Xu Tingyu lose her memory was a brilliant idea.
At that time, she thought that by making Xu Tingyu forget everything, it would be easier for Qi Ye to build a relationship with her and start anew.
Qi Ye might also spare her for coming up with this idea.
She never expected it to work so well. Xu Tingyu had forgotten, but not completely, which actually worked to her advantage.
Because Xu Tingyu only remembered the time when they were on good terms. She had forgotten all the betrayals and hurts.
Wasn't this a stroke of luck?
When she heard this news, she knew that her chance to turn things around was near.
The Xu Tingyu who had fallen out with her wouldn't show any mercy, but now, this Xu Tingyu only remembered her good deeds.
However, in front of her, she still had to put on an act to avoid arousing suspicion.
"But it would be too much trouble for Young Master Qi. He's your fiancé, and I'm your friend. If you ask him to help me, will he look down on you?"
"I think we'd better not ask him. After all, his business is mainly in the UK, and your relationship has been all over the news before."
"If it drags you two down because of helping me, I'd feel really bad. So, let's just forget it."
She was really a good actress. The expression of grievance and forbearance came naturally to her.
Combined with her haggard appearance recently, it was quite convincing.
Xu Tingyu hesitated for a moment and seemed to be persuaded by her.
"You do have a point. I don't want to trouble him too much. Alas, it's just a pity that I'm not capable enough. If I had my own business, I could support you."
"Too bad I still have to ask others for money and don't have much say."
She rubbed her face, and the distress on her face seemed genuine.
Chen Chunyao was a bit stunned.
She just wanted to make the act more realistic to coax her into fighting for more benefits for her.
She didn't want her to "give up at the sight of difficulties".
Was this woman just playing with her?
Anger flashed through Chen Chunyao's mind, but she quickly dismissed this thought.
It was impossible.
Qi Ye had found the most authoritative and professional team, and they hadn't detected anything wrong with Xu Tingyu. So her memory loss couldn't be fake.
But now, in her mind, they were good friends, and she couldn't just stand by and watch her in trouble.
So when she said this, it could only mean that her damned sense of boundaries was back again.
Back then when she was with Qi Shifeng, she was like this.
She didn't want to get too involved in financial matters with the other person and never took the initiative to ask for money.
Even when the Xu family went bankrupt and she had to beg Qi Shifeng, she was always embarrassed.
Now, she probably applied the same mindset to Qi Ye.
Chen Chunyao rolled her eyes mentally and thought this woman was really crazy.
No, not crazy, but just pretending to be high - minded.
If she didn't like money and power, why did she like Qi Shifeng in the first place?
Moreover, she was more than three months pregnant now, which meant she had already given in to Qi Ye before losing her memory.
Why was she still trying to build an image in front of her? It was really ridiculous.
Chen Chunyao was sure that Xu Tingyu was just pretending to be high - minded and trying to build an image in front of men, but she couldn't say it directly.
She could only lower her eyes and shed a few well - timed tears.
"Alas, Tingyu, don't say such things. If Young Master Qi hears it, he'll be unhappy. He dotes on you so much. He wouldn't want you to think like this."
"Speaking of which, he's really good to you. He's obedient to your every wish. Now that you're having his child, he probably wants to spoil you even more."
As she said these words, resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes.
But since she was wiping her tears, she managed to cover it up well.
Xu Tingyu didn't like to hear such words.
Aunt Tian and the others always said how good Qi Ye was to her. Their attitude was as if she should be extremely grateful and be completely devoted to Qi Ye.
At first, she felt a bit guilty because she had forgotten their relationship.
But after hearing it so many times, she just felt annoyed.
So she interrupted Chen Chunyao in time and said, "Don't talk about this. By the way, I heard him say before that he wanted to invest in a movie. How about I ask him for you?"
The movie thing was true.
She overheard it when she passed by the study.
At that time, Zhang Wan was telling him about the movie's investment promotion plan.
She also mentioned the producer, saying that the other party had strongly invited him to invest, saying that they had found box - office stars and it was sure to be a profitable investment.
Qi Ye wasn't very interested. After Zhang Wan finished speaking, he just said, "Invest as they said. Just consider it as repaying a favor."
Before Zhang Wan could say anything, they noticed Xu Tingyu at the door.
Qi Ye came to open the door for her himself and asked with a smile, "Awake? Did our voices disturb you?"
The study had excellent sound insulation. If the door hadn't been left ajar, even if they had turned on the stereo inside, it wouldn't have been heard outside.
So Xu Tingyu suspected that he might be mocking her, but then she thought she shouldn't think so of him.
So she shook her head. "No, I just woke up and passed by. I'm going to get something to eat now. You guys can continue."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Qi Ye and Zhang Wan didn't continue. Qi Ye followed her downstairs and even accompanied her to eat.
She didn't take this matter to heart at that time.
But now seeing Chen Chunyao's situation, she remembered it again.
Hearing her mention the movie, Chen Chunyao's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Originally, she wanted to decline a bit more, but then she thought that this woman might really take her decline seriously, so she didn't stand on ceremony.
"Although I don't want to trouble Young Master Qi, if there's really such an opportunity, I'll be extremely grateful."
She stopped crying, and her eyes looking at Xu Tingyu were full of smiles.
She had also heard that Qi Ye had recently participated in investing in a movie.
It was a big - budget production with a total investment of over a billion yuan, and it was a Sino - British co - production.
If she could really get in, she was surely not far from turning things around.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to him."
Xu Tingyu agreed.
Just as they were chatting, they heard a commotion not far away.
"Why are you stopping us from going in? Isn't this swimming pool part of the presidential suite? It's supposed to be for the guests in the presidential suite."
"Although we're not staying in the presidential suite, we're friends of Miss Du who's staying in a suite. She allowed us to come here."
"If you keep blocking us here, don't blame us for filing a complaint against you."
A shrill female voice came.
Then came the staff's soothing voice. "Hello, the swimming pool of the presidential suite is over there. This one isn't. I'll have someone lead you over there now."
But those people refused to agree.
"Why isn't this one? We don't care. We want this one. Your presidential suite costs over a hundred thousand yuan a night, and this is your service attitude?"
"Anyway, we want this one. Since you said that one is the right one, then ask the people inside to move over there."
"Right. The environment over there is obviously not as good as this one. How could that one be the right one? Don't try to fool us here."
