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...
William was stunned after hearing Xu Yaxin's string of words. He hadn't expected that there was such a thing among these three people, and now he was really interested.
After all, it's true that he has feelings for Xu Xinchen, and Chen Ningsheng is also one of his problems now. If he can join forces with the woman in front of him, then resolving this matter may be just around the corner.
Having thought of this, a hint of interest finally appeared on William's face: "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble this young lady, um..."
William hesitated for a moment, looking at the cramped space in his car. He was the only one in the car now, as the driver had already gone outside to smoke to avoid suspicion. It didn't seem appropriate to ask Xu Yaxin to get in and chat under these circumstances.
After thinking it over, William decided to put the choice to Xu Yaxin: "Miss, would you like to get in the car and talk to me, or would you like to find a place for us to go over there and talk?"
Xu Yaxin turned her head and glanced at the interior of the car. Although it was a luxury car and the space inside could be considered spacious, it wouldn't be appropriate for just the two of them, a man and a woman, to sit inside.
Although she traveled abroad with her parents quite a bit since she was young, she spent most of her time in China growing up with Chen Ningsheng. She received more of her upbringing from her grandfather's generation, so she was more particular about these kinds of taboos.
Therefore, after only a slight hesitation, Xu Yaxin immediately said to William without hesitation, "Please come out for a moment, sir, so we can find a place to talk."
As she spoke, Xu Yaxin pointed to the coffee shop William had just come out of: "I think that coffee shop is quite nice. When I passed by that coffee shop just now, I thought the environment inside was quite nice. I wonder what this gentleman thinks?"
William raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. He had assumed that the woman in front of him had noticed them since they entered the coffee shop, but it turned out she hadn't.
If he had noticed them earlier, he certainly wouldn't have suggested going to the coffee shop now. But since things are as they are, he doesn't care.
The woman in front of me didn't see me hit my brother in the coffee shop, so there's no awkwardness about it.
William readily nodded, opened the car door, got out, and turned to the driver, saying, "Driver, come back inside and sit for a while. I have some things to take care of, or you can just leave and go for a walk outside. I can call you later."
The driver glanced at William, then turned to look at Xu Yaxin with a knowing smile. He nodded to William and said, "I understand, sir. Please go ahead with peace of mind."
Although Xu Yaxin couldn't figure out what the driver was thinking, she instinctively disliked his smile, so she frowned slightly.
William, on the other hand, immediately saw what the driver was thinking. He smiled helplessly at the driver and said, "It's not what you think. We have some business to discuss."
Normally, William wouldn't bother explaining so much to the driver, but things were different now. He needed the driver's help with his plans, so he couldn't let the driver misunderstand.
meeting.
After saying that, without waiting for the driver's response, William turned around and said to Xu Yaxin, "Miss, let's go to that coffee shop over there. I'd really like to hear what your plans are for the future."
Although William already had an idea in mind, he would certainly not refuse if he could have another person help him think about what to do next, since many hands make light work.
Especially since the woman in front of her had designs on Chen Ningsheng, she was an excellent ally. There were many things that she herself couldn't do, so she could just push them onto this woman.
He could hide on the sidelines and play the good guy, occasionally stepping in to clean up the messes this woman made. That way, he might achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Yaxin was clearly unaware that William was plotting to push her out as a scapegoat. She was still preoccupied with how to persuade this man to seduce Xu Xinchen while she was forming an alliance with him.
The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, entered the coffee shop and stayed there for nearly an hour before finally leaving.
When they came out, both of them had smiles on their faces and waved to each other with great pleasure. After saying goodbye to each other, they went their separate ways.
Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng had no idea that while they were thinking about where to go the next day, they had already been targeted by two other cunning individuals.
After discussing where they would go tomorrow, Xu Xinchen suddenly remembered that she had run into William at the women's clothing store earlier that day.
She frowned slightly and told Chen Ningsheng about it: "Ningsheng, I ran into William in the women's clothing store when I was buying a dress today."
Chen Ningsheng was about to reach for the documents on the table when he suddenly heard Xu Xinchen's words, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
He looked up at Xu Xinchen, his eyes filled with deep concern: "Are you alright? Did he harass you because you look like his ex-wife?"
Xu Xinchen gently shook her head and said honestly, "No, that's not true. But her attitude was a little strange. I clearly told her that she didn't need to apologize to me for what happened yesterday, but she still kept apologizing to me..."
As she spoke, Xu Xinchen explained everything about her encounter with William that day to Chen Ningsheng. After they finished talking, they discussed the matter concerning Lyme, and Xu Xinchen's face showed a hint of disappointment.
