My ex-girlfriend's best friends are getting restless right after the breakup.

Chapter 103 A Complete Mess

After Xu Yueqing said, "Is that all the firepower you have? It's no match for the firepower Chen Bo is putting me to, you know what I mean!" the group fell into a deathly silence.

This silence was very, very long.

Zhou Lingyan was so shocked that she thought her phone was broken, otherwise why didn't Bei Weiwei and Zhao Lulu react?

It was so long that Bei Weiwei thought the internet was down, otherwise why didn't Zhou Lingyan and Zhao Lulu react?

Zhao Lulu thought she had been kicked out of the group chat, otherwise why didn't Bei Weiwei and Zhou Lingyan react?

Then-

Zhou Lingyan: "????????? (Furious.jpg)"

Bei Weiwei: "!!!!!!!!! (Full of rage.jpg)"

Zhao Lulu: "Xu Yueqing, you!!! (furious.jpg)"

Zhou Lingyan: "What do you mean this firepower isn't enough???"

Bei Weiwei: "What do you mean by 'Chen Bo's firepower'???"

Zhao Lulu: "Are you showing off???"

Zhou Lingyan: "Xu Yueqing, you come out here!!!"

Bei Weiwei: "Come out and explain yourself clearly!!!"

Zhao Lulu: "What do you mean 'we understand'??? We don't understand! We're still innocent little flowers, men's favorites!!"

But Xu Yueqing has disappeared, and the news has vanished without a trace.

Zhou Lingyan was so angry she wanted to eat her phone.

Cause trouble and then run away?

She was spamming the screen.

Zhou Lingyan: "Xu Yueqing, come out here!!!"

Zhou Lingyan: "Explain yourself clearly!!!"

Zhou Lingyan: "Where did your aloofness and reserve go???"

Zhou Lingyan: "Are you bragging about being (indescribably) with my man???"

Zhou Lingyan: "Let me tell you, I'm not envious! Not at all!!!"

Bei Weiwei's inner monologue: That's my man, but never mind, I won't argue with Zhou Lingyan about this for now.

Bei Weiwei: "I'm not envious at all!!!"

Zhao Lulu's inner monologue: I am Chen Bo's woman. You are all fake, just passing through. But never mind, I won't bother with Zhou Lingyan for now.

Zhao Lulu: "I'm not envious at all!!!"

Zhou Lingyan: "Exactly! What's there to envy!"

Bei Weiwei: "Exactly!"

Zhao Lulu: "Exactly! If we want to, we can just take our pants off and have as much firepower as we want!"

Li Man, who was secretly watching the screen: ————

Zhou Lingyan: "————" Zhao Lulu, don't tell anyone I know you!

Bei Weiwei: "————" Zhao Lulu, didn't you say you didn't understand?

Zhou Lingyan: "Lulu, don't drag me down with you when you're wallowing in self-pity!"

Bei Weiwei: "Lulu, I'm not a casual person. Only my boyfriend Chen Bo can undress me, and only he has ever undressed me, appreciating and touching me with an artistic eye—"

Zhao Lulu: "————"

Zhou Lingyan: "————"

Zhao Lulu: "Weiwei, don't bring this up again, we're still sisters!"

Zhou Lingyan: "I want to hit you again, Bei Weiwei!"

The three best friends started giving way to each other again.

For a full fifteen minutes, Xu Yueqing remained silent.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhao Lulu: "Lingyan, why don't you just admit it and stop causing trouble for Yueqing? You haven't lost anything anyway."

Zhou Lingyan: "I didn't suffer any losses? I was called a scumbag by the entire internet and that's not considered suffering any losses?"

Zhao Lulu: "But you really wanted to sleep with Chen Bo, you just didn't manage to."

Zhou Lingyan: "————"

Bei Weiwei: "————"

Zhou Lingyan was tired.

She slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Lulu," she typed weakly, "you're right, maybe I should just give up."

Zhao Lulu: "You've finally figured it out?"

Zhou Lingyan: "I don't understand anything! That bitch Xu Yueqing caused trouble and then ran away, leaving us here to just stand there helplessly!"

Bei Weiwei suddenly interjected, "Wait, Lingyan, what you said online reminded me."

Zhou Lingyan: "What did you say?"

Bei Weiwei: "You said Chen Bo isn't signed with any agency, so you can't find him for commercial performances or anything like that."

Zhou Lingyan: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Bei Weiwei: "Lingyan, aren't you and Yueqing in the same agency? Aren't your fathers the two largest shareholders?"

Zhou Lingyan was taken aback for a moment: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Bei Weiwei: "Then why didn't you consider signing Chen Bo?"

Zhou Lingyan fell silent.

Zhao Lulu fell silent.

Bei Weiwei continued, "One of you is Chen Bo's landlord, and the other is his ex-girlfriend. You're both minor shareholders in the company, so you both have a say. If you just ask, getting Chen Bo signed on is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Zhou Lingyan: "————"

Bei Weiwei: "But what about you two? One of you is busy posting suggestive photos, and the other is busy having affairs. Who's thought about Chen Bo's career?"

Zhou Lingyan: "————"

Zhao Lulu spoke softly, "Weiwei, although you're talking about Lingyan and Yueqing, why do I feel a little pain on my face too?"

Bei Weiwei: "What are you in pain about? You're not even at that company."

Zhao Lulu: "I mean, I never thought about helping Chen Bo set up a studio or anything like that."

Bei Weiwei was taken aback.

Zhao Lulu continued, "I was only focused on lusting after his body, on arguing with you guys, and on sending photos and lace pictures. I never thought about what he needed in his career."

Zhou Lingyan: "————"

Bevy:

"————"

Before Zhou Lingyan and Bei Weiwei could begin their condemnation, Zhao Lulu sent another message: "Aren't we being quite selfish?"

The group fell silent again.

This silence wasn't due to anger or embarrassment, but rather to reflection.

three seconds.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

Zhou Lingyan: "Lulu, you're right, we are indeed quite selfish."

Bei Weiwei: "I was wrong too. I was his girlfriend, but I never asked him what he wanted."

Zhou Lingyan: "I was his landlord and girlfriend, but I only thought about how to keep him by my side, and I never thought about how to help him develop his career."

Zhao Lulu: "I was his client and girlfriend, but I only thought about how to make myself his one and only girlfriend, and I never thought about helping him."

Zhou Lingyan: "So what do we do now?"

Bei Weiwei: "Shall we help him?"

Zhao Lulu: "How can I help?"

Zhou Lingyan thought for a moment: "I can talk to the company and sign Chen Bo. With his current popularity, the board of directors will definitely agree."

Zhao Lulu: "But signing with a company involves contracts, profit sharing, and various restrictions. Chen Bo is currently a free agent; he can write whatever he wants and sing whatever he wants. Would he still be so free after signing with a company?"

Zhou Lingyan fell silent.

She and Xu Yueqing couldn't urinate in the same urinal, cough, the same chamber pot.

Both of them are minor shareholders, so they certainly wouldn't accept the other's arrangements or help Chen Bo.

They were already in complete chaos before he even came in.

If they get in, won't they become a raging torrent?

Bei Weiwei: "Then how about we help him set up his own studio?"

Zhao Lulu's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea!"

Zhou Lingyan: "A studio also needs resources. Without resources, a studio is just an empty shell."
