21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
The two talked until very late. When Chen Bohui's assistant came up and reminded him of something, Chen Bohui slowly suppressed his smile and turned to look at Xu Xinchen with admiration in his eyes.
But as soon as Xu Xinchen turned to look at him, he immediately hid his true feelings and continued to act superior.
"Alright, I understand."
As Chen Bohui spoke, he stood up and said, "Since you've said so, then let him handle this matter himself for now. But if he can't handle it, I will definitely step in."
Xu Xinchen nodded happily: "Of course. I told my uncle about this in the hope that he could lend a helping hand when he can't take it anymore."
Chen Bohui gave a cold snort, his words sounding somewhat sarcastic: "I didn't realize you were so sincere towards that kid."
If it were Xu Xinchen a few hours earlier, she would have been furious to hear Chen Bohui say those words. However, after these few hours of conversation, Xu Xinchen has realized that Chen Bohui is just a rather domineering and old-fashioned father.
Although he had many demands on Chen Ningsheng, he also genuinely loved Chen Ningsheng. In his view, all those demands were for Chen Ningsheng's good, so naturally he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
None of her qualifications were as good as those of the women Chen Bohui had chosen, so she didn't catch his eye.
That's quite normal. When you think about how this is a father's expression of love for his son, you can't keep being angry with this person.
It was rare for Xu Xinchen to remain calm after being lectured by Chen Bohui. She stood up and said softly, "Since Uncle has things to do, I won't disturb your time any longer. Please go ahead."
Chen Bohui still maintained his extremely arrogant demeanor: "I know what I should do without you telling me. Hurry up and go back to keep an eye on that kid."
After speaking, Chen Bohui, accompanied by his assistant, slowly walked out of the coffee shop. Xu Xinchen stood there, helplessly shrugging at their retreating figures.
After taking a closer look at the clock on the wall of the coffee shop, Xu Xinchen realized that it was still very early, so as soon as she left the coffee shop, she asked the driver to take her to Chen Ningsheng's company.
When Xu Xinchen walked out of the coffee shop, two men from another table followed her out. These two men were specially assigned by Chen Ningsheng to protect Xu Xinchen, out of concern for her safety.
Once Xu Xinchen got into the car, the two men followed in a rather ordinary-looking car and slowly drove behind Xu Xinchen's car towards Chen Ningsheng's company.
When Xu Xinchen entered the elevator, there was a completely unfamiliar woman standing there. Elevators in this era were quite rudimentary, but the space was still quite large.
However, after Xu Xinchen entered the elevator, the woman kept staring at Xu Xinchen, which made Xu Xinchen frown involuntarily.
As they approached the top of the stairs, Xu Xinchen couldn't bear the intense gaze any longer. She turned away coldly.
He stared at the woman and asked bluntly.
"Is there something you need? Why are you staring at me like that?"
The woman probably didn't expect Xu Xinchen to suddenly turn around and ask her such a question. She looked a little dazed until Xu Xinchen's undisguised gaze was fixed on her eyes, at which point she finally came to her senses.
"I..." You could see that mouth seemed to want to say something, but after a long while I still couldn't say a word. With a ding, the elevator had arrived at the floor Xu Xinchen wanted to go to.
Seeing that the woman showed no sign of getting out of the elevator, Xu Xinchen frowned deeply. This floor was the highest floor in the building, and it was where Chen Ningsheng's office was located.
Why is this woman not going to get off the elevator yet? Is she waiting for her to get off first so she can follow behind her?
Thinking of this, Xu Xinchen turned around and stared at her coldly: "Do you know that this is the top floor and the elevator can't go any further?"
The woman nodded slightly and spoke, sounding somewhat hesitant: "Of course I know."
"You know?" Xu Xinchen found it even stranger now. If you knew, why were you still in the elevator? "Then why aren't you leaving?"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the row of buttons inside the elevator: "I forgot to press the floor button when I came in. I didn't come to this floor."
Xu Xinchen was taken aback, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Which floor are you going to?"
Just as they were talking, the elevator suddenly swayed and then began to slowly descend again. Xu Xinchen knew that this...
Someone downstairs is pressing the elevator button.
The woman finally spoke: "Someone downstairs pressed the elevator button, aren't you going down first?"
Xu Xinchen gently waved her hand: "It's okay for me, I can just sit there again later."
The woman was clearly used to this situation. She calmly walked around to Xu Xinchen's side and pressed the buttons on the top of the elevator.
Xu Xinchen turned her head and saw that the woman had pressed 3. Instantly, black lines, the kind that often appear in later generations, appeared on her own head.
Upon seeing the woman, Xu Xinchen obediently stood aside and waited after pressing the elevator button. A new wave of questions arose in her mind. This woman had clearly been staring at her the whole time, but why? She didn't recognize the woman.
Unable to suppress her doubts, Xu Xinchen asked again, "Why were you staring at me like that?"
The woman's eyes looked a little strange: "You...you're a little special, yes, a little special."
Xu Xinchen was taken aback, unsure whether the woman was being perfunctory or serious: "What's so special about me?"
The woman gently shook her head and pointed to the top of the elevator: "A very beautiful woman just came to our company to see the president, but now you're here too. I feel like your relationship is a bit strange."
