Chapter 365: Chapter 313: Rising Phase: 149_3
"I can’t be bothered to argue with you, here’s the thing, Yuehai wants to meet with us," Zhou Lan said. "Probably because you won that award, they can’t sit still anymore and want to mend the relationship with us."
Zhou Yun said, "I’m on vacation."
Zhou Lan: "That’s what I told them, but they said they can come to you and have a meal together."
Zhou Yun curled his lips, complaining, "Why now? They didn’t bother before, but now they want to fix the relationship."
"Don’t be stubborn. It’s okay for us to play hard to get, but it’s not wise to completely cut them off forever. No matter what you say, they are a major platform. Unless you’re never going to act in TV dramas again, you can’t really avoid dealing with them," Zhou Lan said sensibly. "How about you set a time, and we can have a meal together and make peace?"
Zhou Yun said, "So annoying."
"There, there," Zhou Lan chuckled. "It’s great, isn’t it? They were the ones who turned their backs on us at first, not us. Now they are the ones coming to us, wanting to make peace."
"It’s only because they realized I’m still so popular," Zhou Yun said in a pretentious tone. "I’m just too popular."
"..." Zhou Lan didn’t even want to talk anymore.
"Enough already."
Zhou Yun giggled.
"Alright, you set the time, and we’ll have the meal here. I really don’t want to go back to Shanghai just for that," Zhou Yun really enjoyed every night spent in the embrace of Song Chi.
Zhou Lan snorted softly, "I think you just can’t move your legs whenever you see Song Chi."
"You’re the one acting all flirty, not me. I’m not that weak," Zhou Yun proudly asserted himself.
"Believe that, and you’ll believe anything. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore, I have to accompany Wang Jing to meet a director," Zhou Lan said.
"Hanging up."
Zhou Yun hung up the phone.
Little did he know, just as he hung up, another call came in almost seamlessly.
This coincidence made her suspicious if these two had planned this together.
The call was from Wei Heyun, whom she hadn’t contacted for a long time.
This grandson of a veteran broadcasting authority, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly popped up today.
"What do you want?" Zhou Yun answered the phone without any pleasantries.
"Are you in Shanghai?" Wei Heyun asked.
"No," Zhou Yun said.
"Then where are you?" Wei Heyun asked.
Zhou Yun said, "In City H."
Wei Heyun asked, "What are you doing there?"
Zhou Yun said, "Why should I tell you?"
Wei Heyun was surprised and said, "You’re quite rude to me now, aren’t you? Being a Movie Queen now makes you talk differently."
Zhou Yun confidently said, "Yes, why didn’t you call me first to congratulate me? You only noticed the change today? Others noticed it long ago."
Wei Heyun scoffed, "Just because I didn’t congratulate you? You don’t have to be so passive-aggressive. I thought of you as a friend, and I even shared my troubles with you."
"Big boy, better not to think of me as a friend anymore; it brings no benefit but only troubles me," Zhou Yun rolled her eyes. "That’s not how friends act. A true friend wouldn’t forget to show up when it’s time to offer congratulations."
As Zhou Yun heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Grounded? Why? What heinous thing did you do to deserve such a punishment?"
"Let’s meet and I’ll tell you, just wait, I’m coming over," Wei Heyun said.
"Wait, wait, wait, what?" Zhou Yun asked. "You’re coming? To City H?"
"Yeah, aren’t you there?" Wei Heyun said. "I’m coming to see you."
Zhou Yun: "Don’t come, we can talk it over the phone."
Wei Heyun: "Can’t explain it well over the phone. What, you don’t want to see me?"
"I don’t want this hard-earned vacation to turn into your trash can," Zhou Yun said bluntly.
Wei Heyun: "You’re on vacation? That’s perfect, I’m free too. We can have some fun together."
"What fun? Just don’t bother me," Zhou Yun complained. "The greatest joy is you not disturbing me."
Wei Heyun: "Hey! It seems I really must come!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Yun was dumbfounded.
What’s going on? Why does he suddenly ’must come’? Is there any logical reason?
She realized that she could never guess what was going on in Wei Heyun’s mind.
Zhou Yun was worried. Wei Heyun wouldn’t really come over, would he?
She really didn’t want to have ’fun’ with this person.
The main point was, she didn’t want to get involved in anything between Wei Heyun and Yu Sitian. Whether Wei Heyun could win over Yu Sitian, or whether Yu Sitian could like Wei Heyun, had nothing to do with her. She didn’t need to muddy the waters or invite trouble for no reason.
She just couldn’t understand why Wei Heyun thought that she could help him solve this.
