246 Su Ji, the Most Loved Person by the Pei Family
Nan Miaomiao poured her a glass of red wine. “Why are you drinking water? When did we ever not drink when we met up?”
Sonya hesitated for two seconds, but she still rejected it. “No, I have to attend a show tonight.”
Nan Miaomiao pursed her lips and downed the glass of wine. “Fine, how boring.”
Sonya said apologetically, “I’ll make it up to you next time. When I don’t have any jobs, I’ll drink with you to my heart’s content.”
“You promised? You can’t go back on your word!” Nan Miaomiao’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
Sonya looked at her excited look and laughed tiredly. She threw her hat and mask on the coffee table and leaned back on the sofa. “Yes. I’ll ask you out immediately when I’m free.”
She had been in a bad mood ever since the last incident.
She heard Pei Huai call Pei Song with her own ears. She knew that it was over.
Although she missed Xingxing, she did not call Pei Song.
Pei Song would not let her see him anytime soon.
That day, she drunk dialed Ms. Liu. Fortunately, Ms. Liu didn’t pick up, or it would have been too embarrassing.
After that, she got her team to fill up her schedule with work. She went on business trips to other provinces for several weeks without taking a breath.
If Nan Miaomiao didn’t catch her today, she would not even have had the time to chill.
Nan Miaomiao was her best friend in this industry.
She was also the only one except her parents that knew she had a secret marriage and a child.
Nan Miaomiao’s alcohol tolerance was average, but she loved to drink.
Her face was red after just one glass. She suddenly realized something. “Yaya, why do I feel like you’re lying to me? You said you’d ask me out when you’re free, but you’re not letting yourself be free, right?”
Sonya smiled. “I know I can’t fool you.”
Nan Miaomiao poured herself another glass of wine and changed her sitting position. She moved closer to her and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Yaya, you don’t have to pay for child support for Xingxing. Even if you win an Oscar, you might not be as rich as Second Master Pei. Why are you working so hard?”
When Sonya heard this, she suddenly felt emotional. I wish Pei Song would let me pay child support. Now, he doesn’t let me see Xingxing at all, nor does he want me to do anything with Xingxing. It’s as if Xingxing has nothing to do with me!”
“What? He doesn’t let you see your own son?” Nan Miaomiao was filled with righteous indignation, and she raised her voice.
Seeing this, Sonya simply told her about what happened between her and Xingxing that day. Nan Miaomiao was so angry that she stood up from the sofa. “Why? CEO Pei is only thinking about his nephew and didn’t even consider your feelings? Of course your heart ached when you abandoned him!”
Finally, someone was speaking up for her. Sonya held her head in her hands, her nose felt sour.
Nan Miaomiao could not stand her good friend being wronged. Seeing that her eyes were red, she tried to lighten up the atmosphere, “the Berlin Film Festival is over, why are you crying?”
Sonya sniffled and rolled her eyes at her. “Before I returned to China, the news that I attended the Berlin Film Festival was everywhere. It’s only been a few months, and the fans have almost forgotten about me. Being a movie actress is really boring. I should have acted in TV dramas like you back then, which aired every summer and winter break. One drama could last a lifetime, and the fans wouldn’t be able to forget it even if they wanted to.”
“Sigh, both have their drawbacks. Legend of Wu Tian is just too popular. I do hope that someone can break its legend. You see, I have been typecast.”
She leaned her head on Sonya’s shoulder and said coyly, “I want to play the role of a weak woman sometimes.”
Sonya pushed her away in disgust, and her tears turned into a smile. “Gross.”
After Nan Miaomiao finished drooling, she suddenly said in a serious tone, “Yaya, there’s a show that’s really popular recently. Have you watched it?”
“You mean The Billion Stars, right? I don’t have time to watch it.”
Nan Miaomiao observed her expression and started to drink her third glass. “Not only is the drama popular, but the actress who plays Bai Yueguang is even more popular. I think she’s going to catch up to us.”
“Su Ji is beautiful, is a good actress, and has a good family background. Her mother is the CEO of the Xu Group. Just her family’s affairs alone are always trending. Didn’t she recently start a calligraphy class? I think we should just accept our fate. Some time ago, even members of my fan club were talking about her, saying that they like her.”
“Really?” Nan Miaomiao took out her phone and opened Sonya’s fan club. “Let me see.”
The two of them were in each other’s fan club.
“It was some time ago, it’s gone now.”
Later on, her agency made up some rumors about Su Ji being arrogant and disrespectful. As a result, not only did Sonya’s fans no longer like Su Ji, but they also hated her.
However, Sonya had advised them to restrain themselves.
“Your manager complained to me the other day. She said that your fans didn’t like her.”
Sonya frowned. “What did he say to you?”
No wonder Nan Miaomiao insisted on drinking with her today. Her manager must have said something else.
“He told me everything. He said that a few of your clients have already announced that they are prepared to consider Su Ji when the contract is up. They said that Su Ji’s style is similar to yours, but she’s getting more popular…”
“What can I do? She’s loved by everyone in the Pei family now, and touching her is equivalent to going against the Pei family. You don’t know yet, right? Su Ji is CEO Pei’s girlfriend.”
Nan Miaomiao’s expression became complicated.
A few seconds later, she said sarcastically, “so she has CEO Pei backing her? No wonder he gave her a role in the TV series and even had a cameo last week.”
She felt even more indignant. “Yaya, you’ve gotten to where you are today all by yourself. Are you going to admit defeat to someone like her? I feel bad for you!”
As she spoke, the comments section of Sonya’s fan club started to get busy.
“Sonya, what’s going on?”
Sonya came over and saw a fan who posted a screenshot of Su Ji’s calligraphy class and posted it in the group. Many people were talking about it.
She zoomed in on the picture.
The picture was very clear. Behind Su Ji was a painting that looked quite old.
She had no knowledge in this area and only understood after looking at the comments.
[ “My cousin is an appraiser. He confirmed that this painting is a genuine cultural relic from the tomb of the devil concubine!” ]
[ “Really? Can he tell just from the pictures?” ]
[how much does this relic cost? [I’ll really believe it if you say that Su Ji’s family is rich!]
[ “If you’re sure, I’m going to call the police. Money isn’t the important thing. Buying and selling cultural relics is a crime!” ]
[ “I’m already sick of celebrities trying to earn more money by starting a class. I heard that a class costs tens of thousands of yuan, but there are really blind people who would throw away their money!” ]
[ “I think they are in a cult. We should really expose Su Ji’s criminal behavior and destroy their entire nest!” ]
Sonya put her phone aside, feeling a little sour. “The Pei family is so rich. It’s normal for them to buy a relic for Su Ji from the black market.”
“Don’t break my phone,” Nan Miaomiao hurriedly picked it up and squinted her drunken eyes to look at it carefully. Suddenly, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
She could not let her good friend suffer.
Sonya glanced at her. “Miaomiao, don’t mess around. I really can’t afford to offend the Pei family.”
Nan Miaomiao waved her hand. “Aiya, don’t worry.”
Even though she said that, her fingers were quickly typing on the phone.
