Chapter 852: 854-Self-directed and Self-Acting
The Apple of the Ruthless CEO's Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable
Dave looked at his watch impatiently and said coldly, â I told you, Iâm following the instructions of my superior. If I cancel Ning Tongtongâs participation, she wonât be a designer. You can either go backstage and prepare or leave the show together. â
Shu Xinyu wanted to say something, but Dave didnât give her a chance. He turned around and left.
Ning Tongtong was so anxious that she was about to cry. â Mommy, what should we do? Please help me. â
â How could this be? Iâve already established a good relationship! â Shu Xinyu frowned and took out her phone to make a call. Then, she received an apologetic response from the other party. This matter had been passed down by her superiors. Even the people she knew could not do anything about it!
Superior? Why would the higher-ups care about a small designer like Ning Tongtong?
â Mom, it must be Qiao Mu! â Ning Tongtong suddenly said. â Qiao Mu is plotting against me! â
Qiao Mu had Li Yan behind her, so it made sense.
Shu Xinyuâs expression darkened. Who else could it be but Qiao Mu?!
When he thought of Qiao Mu, he thought of another personâ¦
Shu Xinyu reminded her, â Tongtong, have you forgotten that Ji Lan is here? â
Ning Tongtong suddenly reacted and immediately rushed out. At this moment, only Ji Lan could help her!
Ji Lan was Li Yanâs fiancée and was not on good terms with Qiao Mu. As long as Ji Lan spoke, this matter would be resolved!
However, Ning Tongtong found Ji Lan and was about to explain her intentions when she was met with Ji Lanâs disdain. â Why should I help you? â Iâm very busy now and donât have the mood to meddle in other peopleâs business.â
â Miss Ji, as long as you help me, Iâll definitely remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know! â Ning Tongtong grabbed onto her life-saving straw. â Besides, you canât stand Qiao Mu being arrogant, right? Weâre on the same side.â
Although Ji Lan was very interested in Ning Tongtongâs conditions, she could still help if she wanted to!
Originally, she had planned and acted as Li Yanâs fiancée to gain popularity, so it was useless now.
Ning Tongtong was still pleading. Ji Lan thought about it and said calmly,â Iâll tell Li Yan about it, but I canât guarantee that heâll be able to help you resolve this matter. Iâll be responsible for talking to him. â
Ning Tongtong felt like she had seen hope. â Miss Ji, as long as youâre willing to help me pass the message, Iâll be forever grateful to you no matter what the outcome is! â
Ji Lan curled her lips. It would be a waste if she did not want such a favor.
Ji Lan took her phone to the side and dialed a number. Then, she spoke gently into the phone,âYan, I want you to help me resolve somethingâ¦Okay, I miss you too. Goodbye.â
Ning Tongtong looked at Ji Lanâs expression and thought to herself that her real fiancée was indeed different. That Qiao Mu was definitely just a tool for Li Yan to vent his anger!
Ji Lan put down the phone and raised her chin with a smile. â Li Yan has agreed, but itâs just a test. Heâs been very busy recently, so I canât be sure of the results. After all, itâs not my own matter, so itâs inevitable that he wonât be too concerned. â
âThank you, Miss Ji.â
â No need to thank me. Thereâs a chance for you to repay me. I want to be a model for your team. â
Ning Tongtong was stunned. Ji Lanâs figure was far inferior to a modelâs, but since he had asked, she agreed without hesitation. It would not do her any harm to please Li Yanâs fiancée.
If Ning Tongtong knew that everything that happened just now was Ji Lanâs acting, and that the person she was always high and mighty was trying to please was just a woman with no background who relied on selling her body to create a scandal to get to her position, wouldnât she be so angry that she would die of anger?
