Shang Jingchi obviously didn't believe Wen Ran's words. He remembered that a girl's menstrual period was seven days, but he had never heard of eight days.
Wen Ran also knew that his reasons were a bit far-fetched, but the words had already been said, so he could only bite the bullet and force an explanation.
"It's been eight days, but... maybe the water quality on set is bad. I've been drinking it a lot lately and my stomach aches, and my period hasn't come yet."
After saying that, Wen Ran lowered his head, not daring to look at Shang Jingchi's expression.
Wen Ran himself found this reason outrageous.
With a crisp "bang", Shang Jingchi put the wine glass back on the bar and reached under Wen Ran's body.
Wen Ran was horrified, wondering if Shang Jingchi was going to...
She quickly reached out to stop him, but saw Shang Jingchi's hand stop on her lower abdomen and asked, "Does it still hurt now?"
Wen Ran was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She pretended to be calm and shook her head.
Shang Jingchi put his hand under Wen Ran's knees, picked her up and put her on the ground.
"Mr. Shang?" Wen Ran was confused.
"Go back to your room and rest."
"Oh~"
Wen Ran responded and quickly fled from here.
After returning to the room, Wen Ran went to the bathroom first and put on a sanitary napkin.
After all, you have to perform a complete act. Thinking about what just happened, Wen Ran is still scared.
She changed into pajamas. Since she didn't come to Xishan Villa very often, she didn't leave many toiletries and clothes here.
Wen Ran washed up and lay down on the bed, but Shang Jingchi still didn't come over.
"Are they still drinking?" Wen Ran was a little worried. He looked towards the door, but finally decided to ignore it.
If Shang Jingchi goes crazy again, she won’t be able to handle it.
"Miss Wen."
There was a knock on the door. Wen Ran recognized Wu Xiumei and replied, "Auntie Wu, come in."
Wu Xiumei pushed open the door and walked in, holding a bowl in her hand. The bowl was so big that Wen Ran felt it was almost as big as a basin.
When he got closer, Wen Ran found that it was a bowl of brown sugar ginger water with red dates and wolfberries floating on it.
Wu Xiumei placed the brown sugar ginger water on the bedside table, her eyes twinkling with a smile, "The young master specially ordered this to be made for Miss Wen. Miss Wen, drink it while it's hot."
Wen Ran looked at the door, but still couldn't see Shang Jingchi, so he asked, "Where is your young master?"
"The young master went to the study to work. The young master told Miss Wen to go to bed early after drinking."
Aunt Wu spoke kindly, and her eyes revealed her love for Wen Ran. She even thoughtfully brought a hot pack for Wen Ran.
After Wen Ran's mother passed away, Wen Ran hadn't tasted the sweetness of being cared for for for a long time.
Looking at the red dates floating in the bowl, which had been carefully pitted and cut into slices, Wen Ran felt very uncomfortable.
She is lying!
The next day, Wen Ran returned to the crew and heard that the crew had installed a large water purifier with heating function.
Wen Ran asked someone carefully and found out that it was arranged by the investor.
There are three investors in the crew, and Wen Ran's intuition tells him that the investor must be Shang Jingchi.
But she didn't dare to think about why Shang Jingchi did this.
Thinking that he had to go to Jiang Group today, Wen Ran went to find the crew coordinator and postponed his role for today.
Then he and Xiao Zhao went to Jiang Group.
This time she met Jiang Zhengting, the chairman of Jiang Corporation, very smoothly.
"Miss Wen, I'm very happy that you're here, but if you want to become the spokesperson for my Jiang's wine, I have a condition."
Jiang Zhengting leaned back against the leather seat, looking dignified, and his slightly furrowed brows made him look particularly serious and solemn.
This made Wen Ran, who was sitting opposite him, nervous.
Wen Ran kept smiling, "Mr. Jiang, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Director Jiang nodded slightly and turned his gaze to a photo frame on the desk.
Only then did Wen Ran notice that the photo in the frame was of Jiang Yiyi.
It was because when she first came in, in order to appear professional and steady, she didn't dare to look around.
The photo frame was a bit old and the picture was slightly yellowed. Jiang Zhengting looked at Jiang Yiyi, who was smiling and eating cake in the photo frame, and his tone became much gentler.
"I have a granddaughter. You and I performed on stage together at the party that day. I know that Yiyi had the courage to go on stage because of you. She is now in college and comes home every Saturday and Sunday. I hope you can spare some time to spend more time with her."
As Jiang Zhengting spoke, his eyes never left the photo frame, and his eyes were full of love for Jiang Yiyi.
After hearing this, Wen Ran relaxed completely.
"Don't worry, Director Jiang. I'll go visit Yiyi as soon as I have time." He even joked, "I'll have to trouble Director Jiang to take care of the meals then. Please don't think I'm annoying."
"Hahaha, Miss Wen, what are you talking about?" Jiang Zhengting smiled and became much more approachable.
Wen Ran talked to him about the endorsement business and felt less restrained.
Jiang Group sells a wide variety of wines, but Jiang Zhengting only wants him to endorse the fruit fermented wine.
Wen Ran had no objection. She was already content to be their spokesperson.
After the matter was settled, the person in charge of Wen Ran's company came forward and completed the contract process in a few days.
Wen Ran also received the endorsement fee. After the company deducted 70%, she was left with only 8 million.
She is still far from her goal of earning 100 million yuan.
On the first Saturday after becoming the spokesperson, Wen Ran had no filming schedule that day, so she asked for Jiang Zhengting's home address and went to Hejingyuan.
Hejingyuan is located in a remote area, more than an hour's drive from the city center.
It was past ten o'clock when Wen Ran arrived. The housekeeper was waiting at the door. Seeing Wen Ran, he actively helped her park the car in the garage.
Wen Ran looked up at the entire villa and instantly thought of the princess castle in the cartoons when he was a child, which was exquisite and luxurious.
The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, like a secret garden.
Unlike Shang Jingchi’s Xishan Villa, Wen Ran always feels that there is no breath of life.
Wen Ran just thought of Shang Jingchi when his cell phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Shang Jingchi.
[Six o'clock in the evening, Xishan Villa.]
Wen Ran stared at the text message for a few seconds. It seemed as if a dark cloud had appeared above her head, making her feel heavy in the stomach.
After hesitating for a while, Wen Ran typed a few words on his phone and clicked send.
[Sorry, Mr. Shang, I have something to do today.]
Wen Ran felt a little panicked and stared at her phone to see how Shang Jingchi would reply to her.
I wonder if Shang Jingchi will be angry?
Will he force her to drink like last time?
After parking the car, the housekeeper saw Wen Ran still standing at the door and hurried over.
"Miss Wen, why haven't you gone in yet? The master and the young lady are already waiting for you inside. The master told Miss Wen not to feel restrained and to just treat it as your own home. Miss Wen, please come in."
The butler led the way as he spoke.
"Okay, thank you." Wen Ran put the phone back into her bag and followed.
Once inside, she quickly forgot about the messages between Shang Jingchi and her.
