Chapter 10 Meeting the Rival
Jiang Wanning clenched her palms.
When has Qin Huifang ever been as unreasonable as she is today?
Although Shi Wang was cold at that time, he was still on her side in the end.
I have never said such harsh words to her as I did now.
So when he kept saying that he had changed, he never realized that the person who had truly changed was not himself?
"Alas, it's not good to be old now. People look down on me wherever I go."
"Even if the kids don't say anything, they might be suspicious of you behind your back..."
Next to me was the sound of a woman still chattering.
At this time, Shi Wang seemed to finally realize that what he had just said was a bit harsh, and he couldn't help but frowned.
"Okay, Mom, just stop talking."
"Hey, who am I doing this for? It's all for you, isn't it?"
"And she hasn't apologized to me yet...!"
Qin Huifang's noisy voice finally died down under Shi Wang's cold gaze.
At the same time, the man looked at Jiang Wanning wearily: "Since the bracelet is lost, I will compensate you with a new one someday."
"So Wan Ning, just be obedient and stop making trouble, okay?"
That was the bracelet her grandmother gave her. Even if Shi Wang gave her another one, it would not be exactly the same.
So Jiang Wanning wanted to look for it again. Maybe the bracelet was accidentally dropped somewhere in the room when it was moved today and was ignored.
But just at this moment, Xu Moli stepped forward to act as a peacemaker: "Yes, it's so late."
"Shi Wang has been busy all day and is exhausted. Just think of it as you feel sorry for him and take a step back and stop arguing."
After she finished speaking, she winked at Shi Wang playfully: "Shi Wang, don't you love the fermented rice balls I make the most? I'll make them for you later, okay?"
Jiang Wanning froze when she heard that.
Inexplicably, I remembered the contents of a page in the diary that I had accidentally seen before.
At that time, I wrote down my taste preferences and specially noted that I hate eating anything sweet.
Although I would occasionally taste it at her request, most of the time I would avoid it, let alone like it.
But now the man hesitated for only a moment before his frown relaxed and he said "Okay" in a happy voice that he himself hadn't noticed.
It turns out that those preferences that Jiang Wanning once thought she could show off are so insignificant to others.
…
Jiang Wanning still tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep.
It was only when it was almost time to go to bed that they remembered that there were not enough rooms in the apartment.
Qin Huifang was originally going to go home after shopping in the mall, but after this commotion, she decided to stay in the study.
She and Xu Moli each occupied a room, leaving Shi Wang's room as the only one left in the apartment.
In response, Jiang Wanning decisively stated: "I'll sleep in the living room."
Shi Wang's expression was confused for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal: "Whatever you say."
The man left with a cold face, thus completely ending today's farce.
The sofa in the living room was a cheap item that Shi Wang and Jiang Wanning bought to save money, and Jiang Wanning could only barely squeeze into it.
She slept stiffly all night and felt her body getting hot again during the night.
Until a cool hand gently touched her forehead.
"Jiang Wanning, you have a fever."
In the silent night, the man seemed to sigh.
Then water mixed with a bitter pill was put into her mouth, soothing the coldness in her body.
The next morning, Jiang Wanning woke up from her sleep, as if she had had an absurd dream. Only the empty water cup on the coffee table revealed the truth of everything that happened last night.
She couldn't help but pick up her phone, open the calendar, and put a big cross on the most recent time.
Time flies.
There are only nineteen days left before she leaves.
Just as Jiang Wanning was about to close her phone, she received another message from the crew.
The content was concise and to the point, but she was still asked to be a stand-in again.
If she disagrees, she will have to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract, which Jiang Wanning cannot afford at the moment.
But fortunately, this time the scenes are far less torturous than last time.
Because Xu Moli couldn't come due to something, she was just used to shoot a street scene without showing her face.
Can't go because of something?
Jiang Wanning glanced at the closed door of her bedroom indifferently. It was obvious that she just didn't want to get up early in the winter morning.
But she didn't say much. When she closed her phone and prepared to go out, she unexpectedly met Shi Wang at F who was also going to work.
"Where are you going so early?"
"Do I need to report to you?"
The man was obviously choked, but thought she was just venting her anger and said nothing more.
He has a colder personality, so the latter is usually more proactive when they get along with each other. Even if they have something unpleasant, Jiang Wanning will quickly coax herself and then turn around to apologize to him.
So he subconsciously thought that it would be the same this time.
Although Jiang Wanning looked angrier than before, she had no one to rely on in Shenzhen and would eventually return to her side.
It was not until the two of them went downstairs one after another and Shi Wang went to the garage to get the car that he returned to the gate of the community, only to see Jiang Wanning getting into another man's car.
The man in the car made him furious. It was his former mortal enemy, Xie Yanchuan.
A surge of jealousy almost overwhelmed Shi Wang. He thought in disbelief, did Jiang Wanning really betray me?
Meanwhile, Xie Yanchuan, on the other side, lowered his brows slightly after seeing Shi Wang's car, and met Jiang Wanning's obviously surprised expression: "What a coincidence, Senior Jiang, you live here too?"
"Uh, yeah, what a coincidence."
"I'm just about to go out. Are you going somewhere? I can give you a ride."
Jiang Wanning subconsciously reported the location of the crew. Just when she felt something was wrong and wanted to take it back, the man opposite had already locked the car.
"It's not far away, let's get in the car."
It was indeed difficult to get a taxi in winter, and the crew was really pressing, so Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment before agreeing to take Xie Yanchuan's car.
When she arrived at the crew, it was already busy.
As a new stand-in with no acting experience at all, Jiang Wanning finally passed the director's approval after countless NGs.
It was already noon, and she was so tired that she almost collapsed on the ground when someone touched her shoulder: "Wan Ning, do me a favor. Sister Jasmine is here. Please go and take this health tea to her room."
Jiang Wanning did as she was told, but when she arrived at Xu Moli's room, she didn't see her.
Seeing this, she put down her things and was about to leave, but she caught a glimpse of a white light on the other person's dressing table out of the corner of her eye.
It seemed to be the Hetian jade bracelet she lost yesterday!
