Above the High Tower

After Shen Xiyi fled her marriage, Liang Juancheng pursued her thousands of miles to bring her back.

Rumor had it that the ruthless and cunning playboy loved Shen Xiyi to his core.

Howe...

Chapter 198 Do You Know Why He Sends You Away?

When they went to the airport in the afternoon, Liang Junchen actually came back to see her off in person.

Shen Xiyi had nothing to say, so Liang Junchen still coaxed her for a long time. Lu Xue, who was standing by, held the suitcase and watched the scene quietly.

"Forget it, go ahead." Liang Junchen saw that no matter how he coaxed Shen Xiyi, there was no change. He felt a little disappointed and didn't waste any more time.

Shen Xiyi hummed and turned to leave. Liang Junchen gave Lu Xue a look. Lu Xue nodded slightly and quickly followed Shen Xiyi's footsteps.

After arriving in Dongcheng, Sheng Yi came to pick me up, and Gao Xin also came.

When Sheng Yi saw Lu Xue, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. Liang Junchen really watched Shen Xiyi very closely.

Liang Junchen arranged a hotel in Dongcheng early in the morning. Sheng Yi knew about it, so she didn't dare to rashly arrange accommodation for Shen Xiyi.

If Liang Junchen finds out, we'll be in trouble.

Arriving in the new city, Shen Xiyi felt that the air was much fresher. He kept looking at the scenery outside the car window, like a curious baby.

"It seems like you haven't left South City since you arrived."

To be precise, she never left Liang Junchen's sight. Although Nancheng was big, it was also a golden cage that imprisoned her.

Shen Xiyi looked at Lu Xue who was sitting in front of him and hummed softly.

Then her attention was drawn to Sheng Yi, and she looked at Sheng Yi for a long time.

"Between you and Mr. Gao..."

"We are in a marriage by agreement. I need an identity to protect myself, and he needs a wife."

Shen Xiyi probably understood what it meant. She had not had much contact with Gao Xin and mostly heard about it from Li Shuhe.

According to what Li Shuhe said, Gao Xin should like Sheng Yi.

"I heard that Wen Zhu didn't even want to manage the business in South City anymore and insisted on staying in East City."

Liang Junchen would occasionally let her know about this kind of gossip. Wen Zhu was a man who could weigh the pros and cons, but now he could go crazy for a woman.

If you look at it from Sheng Yi's perspective, it's really cool.

When mentioning Wen Zhu, Sheng Yi's face turned a little colder and she didn't want to talk about him.

"He wanted to give up on his own initiative. It has nothing to do with me. He deserves what he has become now."

Shen Xiyi nodded without comment: "What you said makes some sense. He deserves it. He doesn't love you when he should, and goes crazy when he shouldn't."

It wasn't a long way from the airport to the hotel. Sheng Yi and Shen Xiyi were reunited after a long separation and had endless things to talk about.

After arriving at the hotel, Sheng Yi discovered that Liang Junchen had actually arranged for Lu Xue and Shen Xiyi to share a room.

Although it was a luxurious suite, the bodyguards were so close to me that I had no privacy at all.

"Madam, I'd better get another room for myself." Lu Xue didn't expect that she herself felt that this was inappropriate.

"No need. He's also concerned about my safety. If anything goes wrong for me, you will be blamed."

I don’t know when Liang Junchen understood her character so thoroughly.

She had arranged Lu Xue, a person who had climbed up from the bottom, to be by her side. If she disappeared in Dongcheng, Lu Xue would definitely be punished, and she would have implicated the innocent Lu Xue.

This was not what she wanted. Lu Xue didn't owe her anything and shouldn't be implicated by her.

Liang Junchen did this because he caught her thoughts.

He is such a scheming and hateful man.

Lu Xue opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing. Shen Xiyi was telling the truth, and she really couldn't bear Liang Junchen's wrath.

Sheng Yi originally wanted to get Lu Xue away, but now it was impossible.

"Gao Xin has booked a restaurant tonight, and Shu He will come over after he finishes his work. We'll have dinner together."

Shen Xiyi nodded: "Okay."

Sheng Yi couldn't say anything in private, so she had to leave first.

Lu Xue began to pack her luggage. Shen Xiyi sat on the sofa and watched the busy Lu Xue quietly, feeling depressed.

So sometimes people's shackles are imposed by themselves.

"I won't be leaving until dinner time, so you can relax."

After seeing Lu Xue pack her luggage, Shen Xiyi sat quietly aside, neither talking nor playing with her phone.

Lu Xue shook her head slightly: "It's my working time now."

"Lu Xue, Liang Junchen is not in Dongcheng now. I am the only one in front of you. You don't have to be so tense." Shen Xiyi was still very patient. She didn't like the people around her to always be tense in front of her.

Lu Xue didn't say anything, and Shen Xiyi said again: "I don't like anyone doing this in front of me, making me feel like a prisoner."

When she said that, Lu Xue couldn't help but feel nervous. She had always been very cautious, fearing that she would lose this high-paying job that she had worked so hard to get.

So she forced herself to relax.

Seeing Lu Xue's changes, Shen Xiyi finally felt relieved.

Gao Xin sent a car to pick us up at the hotel at six o'clock in the evening.

Li Shuhe was originally smiling, but after seeing Lu Xue beside Shen Xiyi, the smile on her face faded.

Liang Junchen was worried, so he specially arranged a personal bodyguard to follow him.

The topics they talked about afterwards were nothing more than gossip surrounding the current entertainment industry, which was actually harmless.

Later, someone mentioned Jiang Wan, and Shen Xiyi remembered this person.

Jiang Wan has basically disappeared from the circle in South City. Without Liang Jinsheng's resources and support, the Jiang family is getting worse day by day. For an actress like her who has only beauty but no acting skills, life is extremely difficult.

I don't want to play supporting roles, nor am I willing to condescend to act in online dramas, otherwise I will gradually lose my value.

"She couldn't make it in South City, so she came to East City. There are quite a lot of powerful people in the circle here, and she managed to get a connection and a good script."

Sheng Yi almost frowned as she said this. After all, the script that Jiang Wan took on was very similar to the TV series that Li Shuhe had just finished filming.

If this drama is filmed in a hurry, it is very likely to clash with Li Shuhe's drama in the future.

Shen Xiyi gently shook the teacup in his hand, a hint of coldness flashed across the depths of his eyes: "So, she still has the possibility of becoming popular again."

"As long as it's not a crime, it's not uncommon for someone to become popular again," Li Shuhe continued.

Although Shen Xiyi did not target her directly, he still did a lot from the side. He finally made her collapse, how could he watch her rise again?

"Xiyi, why are you so hostile to her?"

No matter how you look at it, Shen Xiyi and Jiang Wan have no conflict of interest, and they don't even have much in common.

The table fell into silence for a short time. After a long time, Shen Xiyi smiled and said, "She and I don't have any hatred, but my aunt was hurt by her."

Sheng Yi knew a little about these things, but not in detail.

She had only seen Chen Si Mian a few times, and few people in the entire South City had seen her. Liang Jinsheng protected her very well. No matter how hard she looked on the Internet, she could not find a single word about Mrs. Liang.

Li Shuhe nodded. It was difficult to judge such personal grudges. No wonder Shen Xiyi had to help her up.

She was lucky enough to meet Shen Xiyi when he was about to deal with Jiang Wan.

"Okay, let's stop talking about unhappy things. Xiyi, come and try this chicken, it's unique to Dongcheng." Sheng Yi turned the turntable and took the opportunity to change the subject.

After the dinner, Shen Xiyi and Lu Xue went back together. Lu Xue could clearly feel that Shen Xiyi was surrounded by a layer of coldness.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I probably ate a little too much last night. Come with me to help digest it later."

"Madam, it's already evening, let's go back to the hotel."

Shen Xiyi turned his head and glanced at her, his tone was indifferent and unquestionable: "Just walk around the hotel."

"Okay." Lu Xue didn't insist anymore.

Shen Xiyi's tough attitude also reflects that she is in a bad mood and cannot be offended.

Later they continued to stroll around the hotel, with Lu Xue following closely beside her.

I thought that no accidents would happen in this place, but as often happens when you think so, accidents happen.

When Wen Jing rushed in front of Shen Xiyi, Lu Xue had already reacted and intercepted Wen Jing's hand that was about to reach out to Shen Xiyi.

But this person finally rushed to the front and was seen by Shen Xiyi.

"Chen Xiyi, do you know why Liang Junchen sent you away from Nancheng at this time?" Wen Jing stared at Shen Xiyi with bloodshot eyes, her emotions out of control.

Lu Xue was about to leave with Wen Jing, but Shen Xiyi stopped her: "Lu Xue, stop. I haven't asked you to drag her away yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
