Strong Female Side Character Awakens

Chapter 156: Her Way to Becoming A Matchmaker

When Grandfather Dongfang heard Dongfang Yu’s words, he nodded his head in satisfaction.

His son was not a qualified successor, but fortunately, the son he gave birth to was very promising. Whether it was his IQ, personality, or the way he handled people, this grandson of his was very outstanding.

These years, he had placed all his hopes on him, and had nurtured him meticulously. He would never allow him to be ruined by a woman.

He would not care if a man was fooling around with a woman.

However, he could not be serious. The engagement ceremony with Zixia was imperative.

Under the instructions of Grandfather Dongfang, Dongfang Yu decided to look for Zixia the next day. If they were really going to hold an engagement ceremony, their relationship could not be as tense as it was now.

Even if it was not too good, it should look fine on the surface.

Dongfang Yu went to Zixia’s house the next day. In the end, Zixia’s parents informed him that she had went to the film studio and would only be back at night.

Film studio?

Zixia did not want to enter the entertainment industry. He remembered that Zixia opened a design studio to enter the fashion industry.

Then why did she go to the film studio?

Zixia went to the film studio to meet Song Ye with Ye Qingran.

The small-budget movie that Lin Shu’er had invested in was already in preparation. It would start shooting next march.

Song Ye read the script and agreed to take the male lead position. As for the matter of costumes, Lin Shu’er wanted him make some references.

And the studio that they were looking for this time was Zixia’s studio.

Although her studio was mainly for high-order gowns, she would also take orders for normal clothing and movie costumes.

Zixia scrolled through her phone and looked at the rumors about Mu Qingxue. She kept complaining to Ye Qingran.

“She looks so pure, but she actually cheated on so many men, and even managed to hide it. She’s really amazing. Which hero posted this post? He should be given a medal.”

“Dongfang Yu, that idiot, probably got played. He deserves it. However, I will never sympathize with him and will never marry him. Thinking that he slept with Mu Qingxue while Mu Qingxue was sleeping with so many men, I really feel disgusted.”

“Ah, thinking about this makes me annoyed. When will I be able to get married?”

Ye Qingran poured her a cup of tea, she placed it in front of her and said, “After all, it is something arranged by the elders. They definitely won’t let you explain easily. However, as long as you are ruthless and let them know that Dongfang Yu doesn’t like you and won’t treat you well, they probably won’t force it.”

Zixia shook her head. Her face was filled with negativity as she said gloomily, “That’s impossible.”

Ye Qingran said, “I feel that uncle and auntie love you very much. They definitely won’t disregard your happiness for the sake of benefits.”

Zixia said, “The main point isn’t my parents, but my grandfather. This engagement was set up between him and Dongfang Yu’s grandfather. He has already said that when our family was in trouble, Dongfang Yu’s grandfather helped us and even set up this engagement. Now that our family is better than Dongfang Yu’s family, we’re going to break off the engagement. He said this is called being ungrateful, so he’s determined to not break the engagement.”

Ye Qingran said, “I can understand your grandfather. The elders are all very worldly, let alone a good friend who helped him when he was in trouble. However, your grandfather doesn’t want your family to break off the engagement, but if it was the Dongfang family who broke off the engagement, your grandfather should have no reason to disagree.”

Zixia said, “If it was the Dongfang family who broke off the engagement, then it’s definitely possible.”

Ye Qingran said, “Previously, when Dongfang Yu and Mu Qingxue were together, didn’t he say that he would go home the next day to talk to his father about breaking off the engagement?”

Zixia laughed coldly. “Do you think that with the scale of our company and our position in the business world, his father would agree if he went back and said that he was breaking off the engagement? Even if his father agreed, his grandfather wouldn’t agree.”

Ye Qingran pondered. Dongfang Yu would definitely not agree. Working with the Zixia family would only bring endless benefits to their family.

Furthermore, Zixia’s parents only had one daughter. When they got married in the future, then Zixia’s family’s company would also belong to Dongfang Yu.

Breaking off the engagement was indeed a very troublesome matter. They had to plan carefully.

The door to the private room was pushed open. The person they had been waiting for had arrived.

Zixia had seen Song Ye in a television drama before. His face was like jade and his temperament was gentle.

She had thought that it was the temperament of the character he was playing. When she saw him in person, she realized that he was like a landscape painting that had been meticulously painted, it was both elegant and meaningful.

When she saw Song Ye, Ye Qingran immediately waved at him. “Second brother.”

When Song Ye pushed the door open and entered, he already saw Ye Qingran.

He shifted his gaze slightly and saw Zixia beside him, and he was slightly stunned. His eyes under the sunglasses instantly widened and were filled with surprise.

When he heard Ye Qingran’s voice, he returned to normal and walked over to sit down.

Ye Qingran smiled and said, “Second Brother, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, Zixia. I’ll leave the movie costumes to her. I came here today to show you the design scheme. If you’re not satisfied, you can change it.”

After a pause, she added, “Oh right, the classmate I mentioned last time is also her.”

Song Ye took off his sunglasses and nodded at Zixia. “Hello, you’ve worked hard.”

“No, no, no…” Zixia quickly waved her hand, it was embarrassing to hear others say that. She quickly said, “I already received the money, so this is just what I should be doing.”

Ye Qingran’s gaze alternated between them.

She could not tell if there was a connection between the two of them.

But she could tell that the two of them had a good impression of each other. It might be a business meeting, but it was actually also a blind date.

She looked at Zixia, who had her gaze fixed on Song Ye. It did not just seem like they had a good impression, it might be that they had a connection.

At this moment, she heard Zixia suddenly ask, “Second Brother Ye, have we met somewhere before?”

Song Ye tightened his grip on the cup and smiled elegantly, “I’m an actor. You should have seen me in a TV series in the past.”

Zixia had seen Song Ye’s TV series while dressed in ancient era costumes.

However, she felt that this familiarity had nothing to do with those dramas.

Song Ye’s gaze landed on Ye Qingran. “Your fourth girlfriend?”

His tone was slightly cold, so Ye Qingran heard it as if he was saying, “The girl you were going to introduce me to is actually your fourth girlfriend.”.

Ye Qingran quickly explained, “That’s fake. I’m pretending to be her boyfriend and helping her to cancel her marriage engagement. Her fiancé is too much of a jerk.”

Song Ye asked, “Then was it cancelled?”

Ye Qingran and Zixia shook their heads at the same time.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s talk about the design.” Zixia handed the album to Song Ye and smiled at him.

She really felt that she had seen Song Ye before.

But she could not remember where she had seen him before.
