After Divorcing, She Became An Absolute Beauty - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Smarter

In reality, Brother Yang only wanted to sign the contract for a year first. Unfortunately, Luoluo really liked Du Jiuyuan and insisted on a three-year contract, so he could only listen to her. This time, he didn’t immediately respond to Du Jiuyuan’s question. He looked at Luoluo decisively and still let her make the decision.

“Okay! But you must renew the contract with me.” Although Luoluo was a little capricious, she knew the general situation. She understood that Du Jiuyuan was giving her a chance.

Three years was too long. Too many things could happen in between, thus it was not a good idea to keep the contract too long.

“Of course, let’s have a good collaboration ahead!” Du Jiuyuan took out the contract that she had prepared. The contract had a term of one year, and the price had been filled in long ago. It was neither high nor low, just right at the current market price.

Luoluo signed her name in disappointment. She dragged Du Jiuyuan out for western food before reluctantly leaving.

…

After Gu Xingchen was done with his work, he saw the group chat, and his first reaction was to leave the group. After all, the group’s name was way too stupid. He saw Ji Jingchen who was still in the group, so he changed his mind. instead, he changed the group name— Hong Kong City’s 3rd Crime Squad.

Then, he clicked on Ji Jingchen’s profile and added him as a friend on WeChat. Ji Jingchen only accepted Gu Xingchen’s friend request at night. The two of them did not say a word in tacit understanding. However, the sneaky Lu Ziang changed the group’s name back and even altered the settings so that only the group owner could change the group name.

…

Ji Jingchen’s wardrobe was full of new men’s clothing from the current season. There would be a new batch now and then, so there was no need to rent any new clothing. The most annoying thing was that Du Jiuyuan needed to go to the Ji family’s house to help him with the matching. Because of that, she would meet people that she didn’t want to see again.

Although there were only two people in the studio now, Du Jiuyuan still made plans. He Lili was mainly responsible for Lu Ziang’s makeup and hair. Lu Ziang would tell her in advance what activities he would participate in, and Du Jiuyuan would help with the matching of the clothing. The rest would be left to He Lili while Du Jiuyuan would take on all the remaining tasks.

That day, she went to consult her Master. Yin Hua said that she would help her keep an eye out and told her not to worry.

Peter contacted Du Jiuyuan. When he found out that she was in the studio, he drove to pick her up.

It was just past noon when Du Jiuyuan arrived at the Ji family home. The sun shone on the Ji family, which had a rich sense of age. The Ji family appeared particularly solemn.

The servants respectfully invited Du Jiuyuan into the Ji family home. Du Jiuyuan looked at the unfamiliar faces of these servants. It seemed that Ji Jingchen had replaced most of them.

Du Jiuyuan was extremely familiar with this place. She had just walked to the stairs when an ear-piercing voice came from behind her. “What are you doing here, b*tch?”

It was not that Du Jiuyuan was afraid, but it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, she was here today to give Ji Jingchen a makeover. It had nothing to do with Tang Yingxue.

“Didn’t you hear what I said to you? Du Jiuyuan, you are not welcome here. Get out!” Tang Yingxue was already furious because of Luoluo’s actions last time, so she could only stay at home this month and not go out to show off.

Now that she saw Du Jiuyuan, she was so angry and vented her anger.

“Since when did the Tang family have the right to call the shots in the Ji family?” Du Jiuyuan turned around, looked at her quietly, and asked in return. The implication was that Tang Yingxue was not a member of the Ji family. She was just an outsider.

“How am I not a member of the Ji family? I’m Aunty’s adopted goddaughter. Naturally, I can chase you away,” Tang Yingxue said through gritted teeth. Every word she said seemed to be squeezed out.

Du Jiuyuan did not reply. Since there was such a huge commotion downstairs, people upstairs should have heard it by now. However, she did not know if Grandmother Ji was staying in the Ji family now. If she was not there, Du Jiuyuan needed to make sure to visit her later.

“Du Jiuyuan, you are such a sl*t. You are still pestering Brother Jingchen after your divorce.” Tang Yingxue saw that Du Jiuyuan did not reply and thought that she was being cowardly, so she pushed her luck even further.

Du Jiuyuan looked at Tang Yingxue like she was looking at a fool. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she leaned against the handrail of the stairs.

She was not the only one who was being delayed. It was mainly the person upstairs. Ji Jingchen had a press conference in the afternoon. Initially, Du Jiuyuan did not want to come here, but Jiang Cheng was right. Ji Jingchen’s wardrobe was more complete than the ones available on the market. The main thing was to reduce the cost of renting clothes. It was worth it.

“What are you laughing at?” Tang Yingxue had already been played by Du Jiuyuan before. Now she was finally a little smarter. Just a little smarter.

Du Jiuyuan couldn’t be bothered with her. She still didn’t go upstairs. Instead, she stood in place and waited for Ji Jingchen.
