Chapter 105: Is there a thief at home?
Chu Jingyan and Meng Qingyi stood at the door of Huo Rao's house, and Meng Qingyi rang the doorbell.

"Yiyi." Huo Rao pushed open the door and called out, "Mr. Chu."

"Come in and sit down."

"No, you should go to bed early." Chu Jingyan said.

Then Chu Jingyan looked at Meng Qingyi again and curled his lips, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Meng Qingyi thought that he was busy every day, so she refused and said, "No, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Jingyan immediately asked, "What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning?"

Meng Qingyi pursed her lips, "It's all right."

After Chu Jingyan said goodbye to the two of them, he walked away confidently.

Huo Rao pulled up a teasing smile and bumped Meng Qingyi's shoulder, "I didn't expect that the movie emperor is also a good boyfriend."

Meng Qingyi smiled shyly, "How could that be?"

When the two walked into the living room, Zhang Jie was constantly on the phone and looked very unhappy.

She saw Meng Qingyi, forced a smile, and covered the receiver of the phone, "Doctor Meng."

Meng Qingyi smiled and nodded.

Meng Qingyi sat on the sofa, drinking water. She glanced around and pouted, "Where's Gu Nanjue?"

Huo Rao paused, picked up the cup guiltily, took a sip of water, and hesitantly said, "He had an emergency and went on a business trip."

Meng Qingyi frowned, obviously unhappy, "You are like this now, how can he still be in the mood to go on a business trip?"

Huo Rao felt upset for a moment and laughed dryly, "I'm used to it. Besides, who hasn't been scolded in our line of work? It's normal."

"It just implicates you."

Meng Qingyi pursed her lips, "This time it's different. The netizens' insults are very harsh. This is a bottom line issue."

"Don't worry about it. At worst, you can just quit the circle."

"Anyway, I've made enough money in the past few years. It's time to take a break."

Huo Rao said it easily, but Meng Qingyi didn't sound so relaxed. "But hasn't it always been your dream to become a "three gold" actress?"

Huo Rao's hand holding the cup suddenly froze. After a few seconds, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "That was when I was a child. Now my dream is to have enough food and drink."

Meng Qingyi wanted to say something, but Zhang Jie came over after finishing her phone call and said, "I'm so pissed off."

"These advertisers haven't figured out the situation yet, and they're starting to terminate our contracts."

Zhang Jie placed her cell phone heavily on the coffee table.

Huo Rao secretly clenched her fists and smiled, "It's okay, we won't lose anything anyway."

"You... Don't worry, it's better not to have a partner like this who makes things worse."

Meng Qingyi tilted her head to glance at Huo Rao, and seeing that she looked normal, she sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated. It was a video sent by Chu Jingyan. She clicked it and took a look.

Meng Qingyi's eyes lit up, she was surprised and excited, "Raorao."

"look."

Huo Rao came closer and was equally surprised. The smile on her lips was not just a perfunctory one, but a sincere smile.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jie was puzzled. She also came over, took a few glances, and slapped her thigh. "Oh, that's good. The current dilemma is solved."

"Doctor Meng, can you send me a copy of this video?"

"I'll have someone send it out." Zhang Jie no longer had the same urgency as before.

Meng Qingyi nodded and sent the video.

Zhang Jie was about to arrange for someone to send it out when Huo Rao said, "Wait a moment."

Zhang Jie glanced at her, slightly puzzled.

"Let's send it tomorrow morning."

Zhang Jie and Huo Rao looked at each other, understood, and smiled, "Okay." Just as they were happy, Chu Jingyan called.

"Second brother."

“Did you receive the video?”

Meng Qingyi said "hmm", "Where did you find it?"

Chu Jingyan just returned home and glanced at the empty room. "A paparazzi sneaked in last night. He wanted to take some pictures of the wealthy family's gossip, but he didn't expect to capture the process of your quarrel."

"He originally wanted to use this video to threaten Su Zilian, but Su Zilian ignored him. Jiang Lin found him, so he handed it over."

"I see. Thank you, brother."

Chu Jingyan smiled and said, "I missed you."

Hearing this, Meng Qingyi's face flushed. She looked up at Huo Rao and Zhang Jie, who were staring at her intently. She coughed twice and cleared her throat, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Meng Qingyi quickly hung up the phone and smiled bitterly.

Huo Rao and Zhang Jie's eyes were filled with ridicule, but they said nothing.

Chu Jingyan on the other side looked at the hung up phone and sighed. What should he do in the future if he is so thin-skinned?
"Now that the matter has been resolved, I will leave first."

"You guys should go to bed early." Zhang Jie stood up and picked up her bag.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang."

"What's there to talk about thanking each other? Besides, this is all thanks to Dr. Meng. I'm leaving now."

"See you next time, Doctor Meng."

"Bye-Bye."

After Zhang Jie left, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Please help me thank Mr. Chu. I will treat you to dinner some other day." Meng Qingyi was washing up in the bathroom, and Huo Rao was standing at the door.

"Then I'm going to slaughter you." Meng Qingyi said vaguely, holding her mouth with water.

"I have plenty of money, you can eat as much as you want."

Yayun Manor
Gu Nanjue sat on the sofa, and his face became darker with every minute that passed.

It was almost dawn, but Huo Rao still hadn't shown up.

Gu Nanjue was filled with rage. He picked up his phone and after more than ten seconds, he suppressed his anger and said, "Secretary Zhang."

Secretary Zhang was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. He looked unhappy and asked, "Who is it? It's so late at night! Aren't you sleeping?"
He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID. He was suddenly awakened from his doze. He stood up suddenly and cleared his throat, "Mr. Gu."

"Where's Huo Rao?"

Secretary Zhang frowned and his eyes became round. "Miss Huo? Didn't she come?"

Secretary Zhang paused, "Miss Huo, do you need me to call someone?"

"No need." Gu Nanjue said sternly and hung up the phone abruptly.

When the phone was hung up, Secretary Zhang pursed his lips slightly. The other person was the boss, what could he say?

Gu Nanjue's eyes were blazing as he stared outside. After a moment, he took a deep breath, picked up his coat, started the car and left.

Meng Qingyi and Huo Rao chatted until about twelve o'clock in the morning. If Meng Qingyi hadn't had to go to work the next day, the two could have chatted all night.

Meng Qingyi had been working hard all night and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Huo Rao felt a little thirsty, so she tiptoed out of bed, put on a coat, and walked out of the bedroom, not forgetting to close the bedroom door.

She was afraid that turning on the light would disturb Meng Qingyi, so she went to the kitchen in the dark and filled a cup with warm water.

Huo Rao had just raised the cup to her lips and hadn't drunk it when she noticed someone opened the door and walked in.

Her expression changed and her heart started beating fast. Could there be a thief?

Huo Rao touched her wildly beating heart, took a deep breath, and picked up a kitchen knife.

She hunched over and tiptoed towards the entrance with a serious expression on her face.
