Chapter 46
Because of the time difference, Shen Huaixi, who had been scolded and was relaxing abroad, had just gotten up when his agent told him that the movie star was in trouble.
Shen Huaixi had no time to vent his anger after waking up. After hearing how things had unfolded, he could only forcibly suppress all his temper.
It happened too suddenly, and Shen Huaixi was totally unprepared.
He threw the quilt aside and walked back and forth in the room barefoot, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He had just been scolded, and now he was scolded again, which made him very unhappy.
But compared to being scolded, he is more worried about Qin Mingchuan.
If this had happened in the past, Shen Huaixi wouldn't have cared at all.
Because he was very sure that Qin Mingchuan would support him unconditionally.
But things are different now. After Su Xingyao terminated the contract last time, he found that many things were out of his control.
For example, Qin Mingchuan's protection of Su Xingyao has become obvious.
And since that incident, the other party has never contacted me again.
This time the matter has become so serious, Shen Huaixi knows that Qin Mingchuan will definitely investigate.
Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the other party discovered that he had once interfered with the movie star's past to suppress Su Xingyao.
Shen Huaixi didn't know how much Qin Mingchuan knew, so she held her phone and found his number, wondering how to get the other party's opinion.
With something on his mind, Shen Huaixi accidentally knocked over the vase on the table while walking.
The water flowed down the table and onto the floor.
He happened to step on it barefoot, and immediately staggered and fell forward to the ground like a dog eating shit.
Shen Huaixi grimaced in pain, tears welling up in his eyes.
Resisting the urge to curse, he took advantage of this pitiful state to call Qin Mingchuan.
If you cry, the other person will be soft-hearted.
On the other side of the ocean, Qin Mingchuan, who was unable to get through to Su Xingyao on the phone, was already mostly drunk.
As he lay down on the bed and felt the phone vibrating next to his pillow, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Qin Mingchuan almost immediately stood up by supporting himself on the bed with one hand and reached for the phone with the other.
But when he saw the name on the caller ID, the hope in his eyes instantly turned into irritation.
Qin Mingchuan didn’t want to listen to Shen Huaixi’s call at all now.
Don't even want to mention the name.
He didn't know when it started, but he found that these three words, which were extremely important to him, seemed to be becoming gradually blurred.
Especially after he learned about what Shen Huaixi had done to Su Xingyao, he couldn't help but want to make the cold period between them longer.
Qin Mingchuan, knowing that now was not the right time to talk, reached out to hang up the call from Shen Huaixi.
However, his habit of answering the other party's call as soon as possible over the years made him accidentally press the answer button.
Just as Qin Mingchuan was about to hang up, Shen Huaixi’s voice rang out.
"Mingchuan..."
When speaking, Shen Huaixi's voice sounded a little aggrieved, and even brought an obvious crying tone.
Qin Mingchuan frowned. His mood did not change because of Shen Huaixi's crying. He just asked coldly, "What's wrong?"
Hearing the indifference in the other party's tone, Shen Huaixi's heart sank.
This was the first time in all these years that he was treated so coldly by Qin Mingchuan.
Seeing his attitude, Shen Huaixi immediately guessed that the other party already knew everything about the company and was angry with him.
Seeing Qin Mingchuan was unhappy, Shen Huaixi instantly realized that now was not a good time to explain to the other party.
So he rubbed his ankle and said in a half-coquettish and half-crying voice, "I dreamed about you and the first thing I did when I woke up was to call you, but when I was picking up the phone, I accidentally slipped and fell and got hurt."
After lying, Shen Huaixi paused habitually after saying this, waiting for Qin Mingchuan to comfort him.
But after waiting for a long time, Qin Mingchuan's concern did not come.
The phone was extremely quiet and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The action of rubbing his ankle stopped, and a sense of inexplicable grievance came towards Shen Huaixi.
He was indeed hurt from the fall, but his crying just now was fake.
But at this moment, being suddenly ignored and treated coldly by the bootlicker who had cared for her for many years, the huge psychological gap made Shen Huaixi unable to restrain herself and really cried.
"Mingchuan, my feet hurt...it really hurts."
Shen Huaixi's aggrieved cry kept coming to his ears, and Qin Mingchuan's knuckles gradually turned white as he held the phone.
But he just listened without saying anything to comfort her.
It was not until a long while had passed, when the other person had almost stopped crying, that he spoke again.
"If your foot is injured, go find a doctor. I can't help you even if you tell me."
Shen Huaixi, who was wiping tears, was instantly choked, the moisture in her eyes condensed in her eye sockets, and she was forced to take it back in anger.
Shen Huaixi felt very embarrassed that his crying and acting like a spoiled child were ignored. He bit his lower lip and his voice trembled a little.
"Qin Mingchuan, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Mingchuan, who was in a very bad mood, gradually lost his patience under Shen Huaixi's questioning.
"What about you?"
He asked Shen Huaixi almost mercilessly, "Why did you make this call?"
Qin Mingchuan asked too bluntly. Shen Huaixi, who had a lot to explain, was so angry at the other party's cold attitude that she didn't want to speak.
But he stubbornly did not hang up the phone, holding his chin high, waiting for Qin Mingchuan to sense his anger and give in to him.
The two of them remained in a stalemate on the phone for several minutes.
In the end, Qin Mingchuan sighed helplessly.
The depression in Shen Huaixi's eyes loosened a little, waiting for the other party to apologize to him.
However, Qin Mingchuan did not coax him as he expected, but instead said something coldly.
"Since you won't tell me, I'll tell you."
Qin Mingchuan took out the lighter from his pocket and opened and closed it from time to time.
"Why do you treat Xingyao like that?"
I heard the click of a lighter.
The sound was like a kite string that had been stretched to the limit and suddenly broke due to being unable to withstand the pressure.
Shen Huaixi felt horrified when he heard this.
He felt that Qin Mingchuan and himself were like a flying kite and a broken string.
The relationship between them is likely to be completely broken because of Su Xingyao's incident.
It’s hard to describe what the feeling is, but Shen Huaixi, who is obviously panicking, still tries to hold the thread tightly.
"Mingchuan, I don't understand what you are saying at all."
Seeing that Shen Huaixi was still playing dumb, Qin Mingchuan suddenly felt that the other party was so strange.
But this scene and tone made him feel very familiar.
Shen Huaixi had been like this many times when "accidents" happened.
It seemed like he knew nothing, but in the end all the bad things fell on Su Xingyao's head.
Do you really understand nothing?
I still know everything, but I do it on purpose...
The flame from the lighter rekindled and burned Qin Mingchuan's fingers.
Coming back to his senses, he opened the WeChat interface and took a screenshot of the other party's words.
"Huai Xi, Liu Huai has explained everything."
Shen Huaixi's breathing stopped for a second.
But reason told him that he couldn't say anything at this time.
So he said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Wait for me to come back and we can talk about it in detail."
Shen Huaixi's attitude made Qin Mingchuan unable to continue talking to him.
He hung up Shen Huaixi’s phone directly.
And the screenshot that had already been sent to the other party was also unsent by him.
Staring at Shen Huaixi's chat page until the screen goes out.
Qin Mingchuan felt that his heart, which was burning and beating for the other person, was dying bit by bit.
The secret love for many years seems like a joke.
The person he loved so much turned out to be like this behind the scenes.
Qin Mingchuan didn't feel sad after realizing this.
On the contrary, when I think of Su Xingyao's departure, my heart feels like it has been cut off by someone, leaving a large empty space.
The feeling of powerlessness in not being able to catch someone made him extremely panic.
Qin Mingchuan sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he had accidentally opened the Moments with his finger which had been on the phone screen.
The interface stays on the latest comments others have left on his Moments.
asduasn: Master Qin is awesome, there is no similar style on the entire internet, is it custom made?
Qin Mingchuan was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to these irrelevant comments and likes.
But what prompted him to read on was the other party’s comments on the Moments.
The picture above is the birthday present he posted on his birthday this year.
A set of mecha models given to him by Su Xingyao.
He didn't care much at the time and just took a photo and posted it online.
But I didn't expect that after many days, someone would dig it up and comment on it.
And it was at the time when he regretted the most.
Qin Mingchuan didn't reply, he just threw down his phone and walked to the display cabinet.
Six mecha models of different styles are neatly arranged inside.
It was the birthday gift Su Xingyao gave him in the six years he had known her.
He had never paid serious attention to these models before, thinking that Su Xingyao was just trying to please him by giving him styles that were a little harder to find on the market.
It wasn't until the word "personal customization" tonight that he came to his senses.
These were all custom-made for him by Su Xingyao.
It was a birthday gift made by the other party for himself...
Qin Mingchuan felt that the mecha in his hand suddenly became worth a thousand gold.
He was overwhelmed by the overwhelming wave of regret.
Qin Mingchuan didn't dare touch the birthday gift the other party gave him.
He was totally unworthy of Su Xingyao's sincere devotion to him...
…
The person in charge of the movie star's public relations department, who was so nervous that he didn't dare to leave work all day, finally received instructions from his boss late at night.
However, the message the boss conveyed to them was not to do public relations for the company.
Instead, he tried to find a way to delete the screen recordings and screenshots that were previously leaked by hackers of black fans insulting Su Xingyao.
The person in charge had no idea why President Qin would go and clean up the mess for the person who had caused the company and Shen Huaixi to be scolded so harshly at this time.
But he didn't dare to ask what the reason was.
The working people really don’t understand the games and relationships between the rich.
However, although he couldn't understand what Qin Mingchuan was thinking, he really couldn't help him with this matter.
"Boss Qin, these contents cannot be deleted. Someone has already dealt with them immediately."
Qin Mingchuan was silent for a few seconds. This time he did not ask the other party who deleted it.
This is the second time.
Every time something happened regarding Su Xingyao, he was always one step behind that person.
Thinking of the person who always appeared next to Su Xingyao, the drunk Qin Mingchuan felt his head hurt even more.
Qin Mingchuan, feeling extremely uncomfortable, lay on the bed in a daze, with a scene constantly replaying in his head.
When he first met Su Xingyao, she pestered him so much that he almost wanted to hang around the door of her classroom whenever he had free time.
Seeing him like this, Fu Qingyan deliberately stopped him one day.
"I see you following Su Xingyao around every day. Do you want to be his shadow?"
The sunlight shone on him, and Fu Qingyan deliberately stepped on his shadow.
"They are inseparable every day, as if they are chasing each other..."
Qin Mingchuan closed his eyes in pain.
Too much time has passed...
It was so long that he had actually forgotten the origin of the name Movie Star Entertainment...
Movie star, turned upside down, is star shadow.
The star shadow of Su Xingyao’s shadow…
But in the end, he openly admitted to Fu Qingyan that he was Su Xingyao's shadow and that he founded the company, but he destroyed the other person's dreams and future.
In the darkness, Qin Mingchuan's blood instantly solidified. He clenched his hands into fists and punched the hard wall hard.
*
Su Xingyao herself was unaware of the huge storm of incitement on the Internet.
While everyone was scolding the movie star and Shen Huaixi for defending themselves, Su Xingyao was drawing illustrations and editing the video about Lushui County shot by their group of six.
This project was quite large, and Su Xingyao didn't want to be disturbed while editing, so she turned her phone to silent mode.
It was only after he finished editing today's content that he remembered to check the time on his phone.
Su Xingyao opened her phone and found many new unread messages.
But before he had time to watch it, Lu Jiuxu's video came over.
Su Xingyao was a little surprised, but picked up the phone immediately.
He smiled faintly, "Mr. Lu, did you place a location on me?"
"Meow~"
The other person's screen lit up, but what answered Su Xingyao was a cat's meow.
Coral scratched the screen gently with its little claws a few times, and then immediately meowed twice.
Su Xingyao stretched out her finger and gently poked Coral's little feet through the screen.
"coral."
When the cat heard Su Xingyao calling him, he finally realized that he had found the wrong place and lowered his head.
The next second, the cat's round, black eyes and big round face entered Su Xingyao's sight.
And on its body, there was a slender and bony hand casually placed.
The cat got the upper hand and he had to hold it up to prevent it from falling. As the man could only barely fit one hand into the frame, he gently rubbed Coral's ear with his index finger.
"I didn't pretend to be the one who positioned me."
Lu Jiuxu smiled faintly, "It's made of coral."
Su Xingyao looked over when she heard the voice. On the screen, which was mostly blocked by the cat, she could only see a few corners of Lu Jiuxu's clothes.
Coral, who hadn't seen Su Xingyao for a few days, was feeling a little restless.
The tip of its claws scratched the screen a few times but didn't touch Su Xingyao herself. It reached out anxiously to save the phone screen.
Lu Jiuxu was afraid that it would fall, so he held it in his arms.
The camera slightly raised up with this movement, and above the cat's furry pointed ears on the screen was the man's open pajama collar and graceful and sexy collarbone.
From this angle, it's a bit too pleasing to the eyes...
Su Xingyao quickly lowered her eyes.
But two seconds later, the other party asked him, "Why do you keep your head down?"
Su Xingyao quickly raised her head again, staring at the shorter cat.
Lu Jiuxu curled his lips, his narrow eyes filled with fragmented light.
"Su Maomao, have you finished recording the show?"
"I've finished recording today and I'm editing the video now."
After saying this without any precautions, Su Xingyao suddenly realized that she had accidentally revealed the program team's information, and quickly covered her mouth and stopped talking.
Fortunately, Lu Jiuxu was a very sensible person and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he pretended not to hear the question and started a new topic.
"When do you plan to be back?"
As Lu Jiuxu spoke, Coral's tail shook, sweeping back and forth across his skin at the collar.
Forced to scratch his itch, Lu Jiuxu had no choice but to move the coral to another position and press its restless tail under its feet.
Su Xingyao stared at the screen and waited until Lu Jiuxu finished doing all this before answering, "The flight is at 3 pm tomorrow."
After saying that, he leaned his head towards the camera and whispered to Coral, "Be good, Coral."
When Coral heard Su Xingyao's voice, she wanted to climb up happily, and her tail was also ready to move.
Seeing this, Lu Jiuxu gently pressed its head.
He lowered his head and glanced at Su Xingyao, who was almost leaning over the phone talking.
Because the distance was so close, his eyes looked especially large.
Resisting the urge to take a screenshot of the other person's cute side, Lu Jiuxu said to him, "I'll pick you up."
Su Xingyao subconsciously wanted to answer the other party with "yes".
But suddenly he remembered the agreement he and Lu Zhiyun made when they were eating hotpot before.
"Zhiyun and I made an appointment before. Tomorrow, June 1st, he will take me to meet his first wife..."
After stroking Coral's head several times with his slender, bony fingers, Lu Jiuxu spoke lazily.
"Okay then."
"Have fun on June 1st."
The video had been playing for a while before the setting sun came over, realizing it belatedly.
Compared to the arrogance of the coral, the sunset is much more reckless.
It raised its little legs and climbed onto the sofa in a few seconds, stepping on Lu Jiuxu's legs, and its little head accidentally moved in front of the screen.
Su Xingyao waved at the puppy, "Hi, Sunset."
Hearing Su Xingyao's voice, Luo Ri instantly became excited and responded to him with "Woo woo woo woo".
Lu Jiuxu, who originally had few screen spots, was now squeezed out of the picture by a cat and a dog.
Su Xingyao played with the cats and dogs for a while through the camera before she heard Lu Jiuxu's voice again.
"I haven't seen you in a few days."
Amid the cute voices of Sunset and Coral, Su Xingyao didn't quite hear what the other person was saying.
He looked up in confusion, "Huh?"
The other party did not repeat what he just said, but paused for a moment before speaking again.
"Sunset and Coral both miss you a little."
Su Xingyao hummed softly, her eyes sweeping across the little bit of pajamas exposed through the gap in the screen.
It was getting late, so Su Xingyao played with the cats and dogs for a while and then let them go to sleep.
Lu Jiuxu, who had been holding the cat and dog, gently put the two big treasures down. Coral obediently lay down at Lu Jiuxu's feet, but the energetic Sunset tried to climb up again.
“They are still a little reluctant.”
As the man spoke, the camera finally moved up.
First, the graceful chin, and then the heroic and handsome face.
Looking at the slightly raised corners of the other person's eyes through the screen, Su Xingyao met his gaze.
"Mr. Lu..."
He asked, "What about you?"
Without deliberately specifying the question she was asking, Su Xingyao just asked the other party based on her feeling.
The person in the camera also looked at him.
After a moment, he spoke tenderly.
"Yeah, me too."
After saying good night to each other, Su Xingyao did not go to bed immediately.
The video call that Lu Jiuxu sent him, the countless unfamiliar calls on his phone, and the various messages he received from his friends all indicated that something must have happened to him.
Su Xingyao has actually not cared much about outside public opinion in recent times.
But his friends sent him a lot of messages, and it would be rude if he didn't reply.
But if he wanted to go back, he himself didn't know what was going on.
So in the end he still went to check out the trending searches.
But when he searched for information about himself at this time.
The contents of his private messages on Weibo that were posted have been dealt with by Lu Jiuxu.
The rest that remained were almost all entries in which netizens expressed their unanimous sympathy for him, and joined together to curse the movie star and Shen Huaixi.
After a quick look, Su Xingyao understood the whole story.
However, what surprised him was that in the movie star's latest response statement, he actually admitted his mistake very generously and sent an apology letter to himself and netizens.
Looking at the apology letter, the movie star stated that the relevant personnel had been punished, and also promised to cancel the company and never get involved in the entertainment industry again.
Su Xingyao was still a little surprised by Qin Mingchuan's decision.
However, Su Xingyao had no interest in why he made this decision.
After he closed his Weibo account, he replied to messages from his friends who cared about him one by one.
Before going to bed, he found a string of messages in his mailbox from a number that looked familiar.
But after taking a quick look at the text message page, Su Xingyao did not open it.
Not all unread messages need to be opened.
*
The next afternoon, after Su Xingyao got off the plane, she immediately saw the handsome and flamboyant Lu Zhiyun in the crowd.
Lu Zhiyun, dressed in black and black sunglasses, took Su Xingyao through the crowd and took him to the airport garage.
Then he patted his car proudly.
"This is my first wife."
When Lu Zhiyun mentioned his first wife, his face was full of pride.
He drove a supercar today that was even more ostentatious than his outfit.
Compared to the yellow supercar he drove last time, this gorgeous black supercar looks more luxurious and domineering overall.
After enthusiastically inviting Su Xingyao to get in the car, Lu Zhiyun raised his eyebrows at Su Xingyao.
"My wife is so pretty! She is limited to the world."
As he spoke, he made a ten with his fingers towards Su Xingyao.
Su Xingyao is not interested in cars.
So he had no idea what brand of car Lu Zhiyun was driving.
But that didn't stop him from knowing how expensive the car was.
After all, this sports car is limited to ten units worldwide, so Su Xingyao subconsciously moved her foot lighter after placing it there.
"It's so expensive that I don't even dare to sit..."
Lu Zhiyun snapped his fingers at him and said, "What's the big deal? Let my brother take you to a more expensive one next time."
Su Xingyao thought Lu Zhiyun's words were a bit strange, but before he could delve into it, the other party started the car.
"I'm going to take you to a fun place today."
When Lu Zhiyun took Su Xingyao out, Ban Yang also found Qin Mingchuan.
"Boss Qin, how about going out with the guys to relax and have some fun today?"
Qin Mingchuan looked listless and said without even raising his eyelids, "No."
Benjen didn't care about him and pulled him up to the garage. "Come on, come on, we have a rare guest today. I'd like to introduce you to him. He also likes playing with cars."
Qin Mingchuan was very annoyed. He looked up at Ban Yang and asked him impatiently.
"Who is it?"
Ben Yang: "Young Master Lu."
