"Just accept it, who cares about the cost?" Jiujiu seemed entirely unconcerned.
Eleven: "..."
She seemed to see what Jiujiu would be like in twenty years, a charming ladiesā man.
This kind of rich, handsome man would surely cause quite the stir.
Walking ahead, Ye Fei quietly gave Jiujiu a thumbs-up: "Well done."
Does Feiāer know what Jiujiu has done?
"Hey, hey, hey... who exactly is your mother, Fang Jiujiu! Why does your godmother seem to know everything, but I, as your biological mother, know nothing!"
Ye Fei and Jiujiu turned around and spoke in unison: "You donāt need to know."
"..." Such in tune with each other?
Jiujiu only told her that the bank card was given to him by Ye Mo and Ye Fei agreed that this was the case.
Eleven half-believed them and decided to contact Ye Mo later, no matter how expensive he deemed it, she needed to return this money.
"What did you do when you went in there, how did you get the necklace from the sales clerk in less than a minute? Fang Jiujiu..." Eleven widened her eyes, "You didnāt..."
"I definitely didnāt approach Gu Liancheng, if you donāt believe me, call him yourself."
"..." She wonāt call him.
This question was left unanswered.
...
At night, Eleven checked Weibo again but there were still no news about their divorce. She remembered what Jiujiu had said.
Could it be that, as Jiujiu suggested, he was waiting for her to contact him first?
She ignored her cellphone, deciding to take a bath and call it a day. But as soon as she got off the bed, her phone rang. Seeing it was Lin Qiang, she picked it up immediately.
"...But Sister Qiang, I am off tomorrow."
"Itās not that I donāt want to, itās just that I donāt want to attend."
"...Alright...."
Lin Qiang had called to tell her that Xiao Man was sick and she needed at least one assistant to accompany her, or else it would make her look bad.
Unable to decline, Eleven agreed to go.
In any case, she was just Lin Qiangās assistant ā it was unlikely that she would draw much attention.
As long as...
She stayed away from certain people.
However, what Eleven worried about was that, no matter how low-key she tried to be, Lin Qiang had no intention of being low-key. She planned to steal the limelight at the wedding.
This was the advantage and disadvantage of inviting an actress to an event; although it added glamour, it could potentially distract from the main event.
Before it was even tomorrow, she was already getting a headache.
What could she do...
...
In the neighboring room, two people wearing headphones conspired and shared a laugh.
"That said, darling, eavesdropping on your motherās phone calls like this isnāt very nice, is it?"
"And who thought of it?" He had the nerve to say it wasnāt okay!
"Hey," Ye Fei smirked, "Iām doing this all for Elevenās benefit! Iāve known for a while that Lin Qiang had ulterior motives for promoting Eleven!"
Xiao Man followed her for so many years, yet she repeatedly chose to bring Eleven to important events. She would never believe there wasnāt an ulterior motive!
" Knowing that Jin Xiangbei is Elevenās ex-boyfriend, and they have an entangled relationship, itās obvious that Eleven wants to avoid this, but suddenly Xiao Man gets sick at this crucial time... Could it just be a coincidence?"
"Of course itās not a coincidence." Jiujiu didnāt believe it either.
"What if we do this tomorrow..." Ye Fei leaned in and whispered into Jiujiuās ear.
...
"Darling, put this on!"
Early in the morning, Ye Fei was obsessed with what Eleven should wear. She picked up the necklace from yesterday, the Shimmer, insisting on her to wear it.
Eleven refused, continually pushing back: "Iām going as an assistant, not a guest. Why do I need to dress up?"
