When Ma Yiyi saw Du Jiran coming, a glint of joy flashed across her eyes. After being helped up, she started to speak with a wronged look.
"Miss Du, it's her. She's been giving me a hard time. It was clearly my private trip, but she used me to get on the hot search."
"I'm going to be scolded to death by the company now. It's not enough that she used me for the hot search. She even incited public opinion to attack me."
As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears.
"The hot search hasn't died down yet. I came here with everyone to go shopping and relax, but she even tried to grab the bag from me."
"Miss Du, she knew I'm your friend. She's been targeting me since the swimming pool. Now she's doing this. She's clearly going against you."
Ma Yiyi looked tearful, completely different from her aggressive self when she was grabbing the bag just now.
Such a low - level way of distorting the truth made Xu Tingyu not even have the desire to argue. She just stared coldly at Ma Yiyi's act.
After Ma Yiyi finished speaking, Du Jiran stepped forward, grabbed Chen Chunyao's hand, and carefully examined it.
Then, she turned to Ma Yiyi, who was still chattering away, and said, "I remember I've already warned you. Why are you still offending people in my name?"
When she wasn't smiling, her cold and charming aura as a mature woman became even more prominent.
Ma Yiyi was stunned.
The reason she dared to complain to Du Jiran was that she thought Du Jiran would surely side with her.
A blocked actress with a lot of negative reviews and an unknown passer - by were not worth Du Jiran's attention, right?
Moreover, the reason she was here was that Du's entertainment company was interested in signing her.
But now, Du Jiran didn't say a single word in her defense. Instead, she said she had warned her before?
When was that warning?
Regarding the incident at the swimming pool, didn't Du Jiran say anything?
Just as she stood there stupidly, not knowing how to defend herself, Du Jiran had already turned to look at Chen Chunyao again.
"Sorry, Miss Chen. I swear, Ma Yiyi's actions were definitely not instructed by me."
"Any offense from her is her personal act. You can handle it as you see fit. I have absolutely no objections."
There was a smile on her face, and her attitude towards Chen Chunyao was completely different from that towards Ma Yiyi.
It was as if Chen Chunyao was her friend.
Chen Chunyao didn't say a word. She just looked at Xu Tingyu.
She had no intention of dealing with the conflict with Ma Yiyi at all. Her mind was fully focused on Qi Shifeng and Xu Tingyu.
Qi Shifeng had lost his memory before, but Qi Ye had always been skeptical.
She had been observing the attitudes of the two of them since just now and hadn't noticed anything strange.
The two of them seemed unfamiliar with each other. In fact, Xu Tingyu hardly even looked at Qi Shifeng.
If she had stared at him all the time or not looked at him at all, it might have been abnormal.
But she was like an outsider, with a calm and ordinary look in her eyes, occasionally pausing on Qi Shifeng and Du Jiran.
And most of the time, her gaze was on Ma Yiyi.
Did she really not remember?
As for Qi Shifeng, his eyes were deep and he had no expression, making it hard to detect any abnormalities.
Chen Chunyao couldn't find any clues, but she didn't dare to stay any longer.
These two must not have too much contact. Otherwise, what if Xu Tingyu remembered?
The doctor said that there was still a possibility for her to remember, especially those things that had left a deep impression on her.
So the best thing was to prevent the two of them from having too much contact.
Chen Chunyao didn't care what was going on between these two. She only knew that she didn't want to be a scapegoat in this matter.
So in response to Du Jiran's words, she didn't get entangled.
Instead, she said in a hurry, "Forget it. I'll handle this through legal channels. Miss Du, you don't need to say more."
After saying that, she went to pull Xu Tingyu.
"Tingyu, let's go back. Buy some afternoon tea and take it back for Mr. Qi."
With Qi Shifeng around, Qi Ye became Mr. Qi.
Seeing that Chen Chunyao didn't care about it, Xu Tingyu didn't say much either. She just said to the salesgirl, "Please wrap this up for me."
Since she had promised to buy it, she would definitely buy it.
The salesgirl quickly responded. Just as she was about to reach for Xu Tingyu's card, Du Jiran suddenly blocked her hand.
"Let me pay for this. It's my apology to Miss Xu."
This bag cost nearly 100,000 yuan. With such a generous gesture, she said it was an apology to Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu didn't think she was worthy of such treatment.
So she firmly handed over her card and said to Du Jiran at the same time, "No need. This has nothing to do with Miss Du. You don't have to."
Perhaps the aloofness and indifference in her eyes were too obvious. Du Jiran didn't say anything more. She just smiled at her.
While the salesgirl was going to check out, Xu Tingyu looked at Chen Chunyao's hand again.
There was a thin cut on it from the metal part.
"Miss Ma, first the leg, then the hand. We'll submit all this to the lawyer. You'd better find a lawyer soon too."
She endured and endured, but still couldn't help but speak to Ma Yiyi with a cold face.
She didn't care what conflict there was between the two before. Anyway, blatantly pestering Chen Chunyao again and again in front of her was also an insult to her.
Ma Yiyi's already pale face turned even uglier. But in order to save some face in front of so many people, she still let out a cold snort.
"You still claim you're not a bully. You didn't dare to say anything before Miss Du came."
"Now that you see Miss Du is giving some face, you think you can do whatever you want, right?"
"Fine. Go find a lawyer then. I'm not afraid of you guys!"
She thought Du Jiran was giving Chen Chunyao face, so now her target was no longer Chen Chunyao but Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu just gave her a casual glance and then smiled. "Miss Ma is really good at judging others by herself."
A bully?
Who was the real bully here?
Just as Ma Yiyi was about to say something else, she heard Chen Chunyao suddenly say, "Ma Yiyi, do you know who she is?"
"She's going to be this General Manager Qi's future sister - in - law. Do you think she needs to curry favor with others?"
As soon as these words were out, not only did Ma Yiyi's face change, but Du Jiran also turned to look at Xu Tingyu.
Qi Shifeng's face darkened slightly. He frowned and gave Chen Chunyao a glance.
Revealing the relationship between him and Xu Tingyu in front of so many people was obviously to observe their reactions.
But to Chen Chunyao's disappointment, neither of them showed any waves.
In fact, Xu Tingyu made a gesture to Chen Chunyao. "Yaoyao, stop talking. Let's go. It's getting late."
She seemed not to want to have any connection with Qi Shifeng at all.
But Du Jiran's gaze shifted back and forth between her and Qi Shifeng several times. Finally, she still smiled and introduced herself.
"So you're Shifeng's future sister - in - law. I introduced myself to you before. My name is Du Jiran."
"However, I didn't introduce my relationship with Shifeng before. So let me formally introduce it now. I'm Shifeng's girlfriend."
"That is to say, if nothing goes wrong, we'll become sisters - in - law in the future."
