We've been in a marriage of convenience for three years without sleeping together. Why am I goi

Pei Yi grabbed his hand and squeezed it again, like playing with a pipe cleaner.

Katz—

The sound rang out again, and Xu Zhu let out a pig-like scream, "Ahhh!"

"You don't have to tell me." Pei Yi raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "I have plenty of money to cover your medical expenses."

"I said."

Just as Xu Zhu was about to speak, Pei Yi twisted his arm down again.

"Ah, I already said I'd confess."

Pei Yi lowered his eyes without a trace of apology, his eyelids drooping. "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's the Gu family."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Zhixin felt utterly devastated.

She knew that Gu Yizhi did not like her.

But we were childhood sweethearts, and had a relationship spanning many years. I never expected that I would be tormented like this.

Even if she's called a "wife" in name only, she's nothing special.

Lu Zhi was not giving up and wanted to find another reason, "You just mentioned Dong Cheng."

Xu Zhu: "That wasn't to find someone to take the blame."

Pei Yi frowned slightly. "I'm not in the mood to solve cases. Go to the police station to give a statement. Anyway, the people behind you will bail you out, and the truth will be clear when they investigate."

Even during the recent armed attack, Xu Zhu wasn't that terrified. Now, he was trembling with fear. "I can't go. If I go, I'm finished."

Lu Zhi: "If I don't go, how will I know if you've committed any wrongdoing?"

"I swear, if I break this oath, I will die a horrible death, and I will be the one who spends money on my family."

Pei Yi kicked him and said, "Get lost."

Upon receiving a definite answer, Lu Zhi's heart sank completely, and her eyes darkened.

Can't he even tolerate a marriage contract that's only three years long?

To resort to such vicious methods to destroy oneself, ruin one's reputation, and leave one with no way out.

Pei Yi looked up. "Zhizhi, what do you think?"

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, somewhat hesitant. "I still believe Gu Yizhi has no motive to do anything."

"Gu family."

"It's not just him, for example, Madam Shen Luoyao, a little whispering in her ear is also good."

Pei Yi's casual conversation did indeed bring her new ideas.

It also made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Even though the fog had dissipated and it was a clear, sunny day, Lu Zhi still felt cold.

"Let me think, what are the benefits of you leaving the Chinese entertainment industry?"

"You two are the same type of artist. As for Shen Luoyao, she won't lose any commercial deals or have any source of income. The Gu family can continue to control you..."

"That's enough." Lu Zhi's head was throbbing, and she quickly called for a halt. "I will never give up so easily."

Pei Yi smiled.

He pulled a business card out of his pocket. "This is our entertainment company's contact person."

"You were waiting for me here?"

"Yeah, we originally wanted to poach them directly." Pei Yi raised his eyelids, "Who knew they wouldn't recognize a gem in a bottle."

Lu Zhi: "Stop being so cheeky."

Pei Yi smirked, "Your singing is much better than your speaking."

Ultimately, at Pei Yi's repeated invitation, Lu Zhi went to audition at another company.

He also thoughtfully stayed by my side.

-

The audition results came out quickly. Perhaps because of what had just happened, Lu Zhi was still somewhat incredulous. "You passed already? Did you pull strings?"

Pei Yi said calmly, "If I had used connections, I wouldn't have let you play such a minor role."

Lu Zhi looked up and said, "Investment also requires a rate of return."

"You want me to be a capitalist?" Pei Yi raised an eyebrow and said slyly, "Then Ms. Zhizhi will have to give you more in return emotionally."

"Dream on."

As Lu Zhi was leaving, she bumped into Shen Luoyao.

Thinking of the unexpected incident just now.

It may have been done by someone else.

Her face stiffened, and she tried to pretend she didn't know him and leave.

"Are you here for an audition too?" Shen Luoyao took the initiative to speak, her eyes filled with arrogance, dressed like a nouveau riche, with all sorts of expensive luxury goods.

Lu Zhi: "I don't think I have a reason to tell you."

"Let me tell you, Yizhi recently decided to increase its investment in me. I'm now a partial investor, so you'd better speak properly."

"Maybe I can reward you, a silly beauty, with a role."

Lu Zhi didn't even lift her eyelids, maintaining her composure. "Oh, thank you."

She kept glancing at Shen Luoyao with her eyes, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

On what grounds?

With just a few words, he was ready to kill himself.

My heart is hurting so much I can't breathe.

He had been with him for many years, and even taking back Jingyuan came with conditions, while Shen Luoyao could easily obtain funding for film production.

As Lu Zhixin left the audition location, she slowly sank to the bottom.

-

The sky over Chengyuan was already dark.

When Lu Zhi returned, she saw that the lights on the second floor were still on, and thought to herself that Wang Ma was becoming more and more considerate.

Back indoors, a tall figure stood in the same spot.

It seems we've been waiting for quite some time.

Lu Zhi looked up at Gu Yizhi, "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I have shown up?" The man's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I interrupted your date with your lover."

Lu Zhi: "..."

"No matter how much trouble I cause, I will not bring people home."

"Listen, I don't have time to argue with you about this. Cancel the filming." Gu Yizhi gave the order directly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi felt a surge of grievance.

On what grounds?

He had put in so much effort for the film, and he just dismissed it all with a casual remark.

Lu Zhi looked up: "No."

"I can prevent it from being released; otherwise, filming it would be a waste of time."

"obedient."

Lu Zhi finally couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and raised her head, "Yes, of course you can. Not only can you use this method, you can also find someone to force me on set."

Gu Yizhi was taken aback, clearly not aware of the matter.

"What do you mean by 'forced'?"

"I underestimated you, Gu Yizhi. You've really disappointed me." Lu Zhi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I thought you'd at least be someone who dared to take responsibility for your actions."

"Explain yourself clearly."

Lu Zhi raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Didn't you have Xu Zhu on set find someone to bring me to the sugar daddy?"

"I don't."

He offered a brief explanation, but then fell silent.

Lu Zhi sneered, "They admitted it themselves."

Gu Yizhi “Framed”.

They just wouldn't admit it, no matter what.

Looking at the man's tall figure, Lu Zhi's eyes were filled with disbelief and utter despair. "Never mind."

"Don't splash dirty water on me; you're trying to run off with your lover."

"I don't."

Perhaps annoyed by all this commotion, Gu Yizhi gave an answer: "I will have someone investigate and find out the truth. Don't jump to conclusions."

-

That's how the matter was decided.

Lu Zhi waited for several weeks without any news. She contacted Wang Ma and Xiao Wu.

They all say it's currently being investigated.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself, "After all these years, I still believe such nonsense."

As Wang Ma, who was mopping the floor, passed by, she said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's nothing."

Wang Ma looked up: "Is it about the movie?"

"You know."

"There's no news on the surface, but everyone's talking about it like crazy behind the scenes. You have no idea how terrible this is. I really didn't expect it."
