Chapter 4 She dumped Shen Yixiao
After coming out of the house, Cen Wan immediately went to the bathroom, locked herself in the cubicle and started vomiting.
After two glasses of strong liquor, even a man would find it difficult to resist. Her head was already dizzy, and she had to sober herself up in this way.
Feeling better after vomiting, she called Jiang Yuan and asked her to pick her up when she was done. She wasn't sure if she could hold out long enough to get a taxi home.
Jiang Yuan arrived faster than she expected. Cen Wan got on the passenger seat and just fastened her seat belt when Jiang Yuan handed her hangover medicine and mineral water.
"Why did you drink so much? Did they give you a hard time?"
Cen Wan opened the bottle of mineral water, took the medicine, and then shook her head: "No."
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Jiang Yuan did not ask any more questions: "Then you should rest for a while. I will call you when we get home."
"Yeah." Cen Wan leaned back in her chair and tilted her head to look out the window. The city lights flashed by, and she was a little dazed.
Shen Yixiao.
These three words that were deeply engraved in her soul were once uprooted by her, leaving behind blurred flesh and blood. She thought they had scab over and were no longer mentioned, but she didn't expect that they would meet again.
Nancheng is so big, and they met again.
Those past events that she had deliberately avoided and the memories that she had tried hard to forget, suddenly came flooding back like a tide, almost swallowing her up.
Jiang Yuan sent her home, and Cen Wan asked, "Did this delay your work?"
Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly, "What can this delay? What work can be more important than you!"
Cen Wan suddenly reached out and hugged her: "Yuanyuan, thank you."
Jiang Yuan suddenly looked her up and down with a suspicious look in his eyes: "Did you do something to offend me? Otherwise, why are you so proactive all of a sudden?"
Cen Wan: "..."
Jiang Yuan: "Do you have another dog outside?"
Cen Wan: "..."
Jiang Yuan: "No, you can only be with me!"
Cen Wan was helpless: "I just wanted to thank you."
"I wanted to keep you here tonight, but I'm afraid you'll get suspicious. You should go back."
Jiang Yuan lay down on her bed straight away, "I had no intention of going back."
Cen Wan: "You haven't changed into pajamas yet, get up."
Jiang Yuan flipped over and stood up: "Okay, then I'll go take a shower first!"
Then she quickly rushed into the bathroom: "Ah Wan, help me take off my pajamas!"
This is a one-bedroom apartment that Cen Wan rented. Jiang Yuan would occasionally come and stay overnight, so her toiletries were all here.
After washing up, the two sat on the carpet in the living room, and Jiang Yuan ordered a lot of barbecue and beer.
She opened the ring with one hand and took a sip of beer, complaining, "What kind of vision do directors and producers have these days? They keep changing the script, always listening to the actors. There's no logic at all! I want to quit!"
Cen Wan sat cross-legged, leaning against the sofa, and nodded: "Indeed."
Jiang Yuan: "If it weren't for Chairman Mao, I really want to quit!"
"Bow down for a few pieces of silver, that's me..."
Cen Wan: "Your amount is 500,000 dou."
Jiang Yuan immediately stopped pretending to cry: "Okay, I can still do this for another fifty years."
After complaining about work, Jiang Yuan opened a bottle of white peach soda and handed it over: "Did you see anyone tonight?"
Cen Wan reached out to take it and held it in her hand: "I see."
"Not going well?"
"It's probably over."
Jiang Yuan turned to look at her: "Is Qin Yanxiu so difficult to deal with? Did he explicitly reject you?"
Cen Wan didn't know how to start. She took a sip of soda and then slowly said, "I met Shen Yixiao."
Jiang Yuan slapped his thigh excitedly, "Did you see him in person? How was he? Was he more handsome than in the news? Did you take a couple of pictures? It's a shame he didn't make it into the entertainment industry with that face, but he really does look like a certain male protagonist in my book."
Cen Wan turned around, frowning slightly, a little puzzled: "News? Is Shen Yixiao famous?"
???
Jiang Yuan sat up, and the two of them stared at each other: "Don't you know? Then how do you know him?"
After staring at each other for three seconds, Jiang Yuan suddenly burst out with a huge polite expression: "Fuck! Shen Yixiao, Axiao, he can't be your spectacular ex-boyfriend, right?"
Cen Wan pursed her lips and agreed.
Jiang Yuan covered his face and said, "Don't talk to me yet. Let me digest this."
However, Jiang Yuan has always been very adaptable. She quickly accepted this setting and identified the key points.
"So, you dumped Shen Yixiao, unilaterally announced the breakup, and made such a scene?"
Cen Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Yeah."
Although she didn't mean it that way, it was the reality.
Jiang Yuan leaned back and said, "That's it. You can forget about buying the stone you want from Qin Yanxiu."
Cen Wan didn't correct her "stone" and was a little confused: "Are they close?"
Jiang Yuan took out his phone, opened a piece of news and handed it to her: "My dear Wan, you really don't read any news at all."
Cen Wan took the phone, looked down at it, and her slender white fingertips slid across the phone screen.
Jiang Yuan continued to explain to her in a concise manner, "The largest media company in South City right now is Xingchen Media. In just a few years, it has become the industry leader. It has numerous subsidiaries, covering a wide range of fields, including artist packaging, advertising, film and television production, and cultural communication. Let's put it this way, your sisters are all working for him now."
"Qin Yanxiu is the most popular artist under Xingchen Media. He was a dark horse who broke into the entertainment industry and helped Xingchen Media rise to prominence and gradually grow. He is also one of Xingchen Media's shareholders."
Jiang Yuan took a breath and glanced at her: "And your ex-boyfriend is the president and big boss of Xingchen Media."
"Not only that, he is also the second son of the Shen family, a top wealthy family in South City and a century-old prestigious family."
Seeing Cen Wan's stunned and shocked face, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened: "You've been together for a year, and you don't know anything about this?"
Cen Wan shook her head.
Back in school, although Shen Yixiao was a prominent figure in the school, she had never heard of his impressive background. She had always thought he was just an ordinary rich second-generation.
After the breakup, she deliberately avoided thinking about Shen Yixiao, ignored everything about him, and had no habit of paying attention to financial and entertainment news.
In addition, she had been traveling all over the country in the past two years, either in the mountains or in the studio, so she had no idea how popular Shen Yixiao was now.
Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded, then turned around and thought, it seemed to be in line with Cen Wan's style.
"But it's true. Shen Yixiao's identity was only announced to the public after Xingchen Media developed, which was only two years ago. By then, you had already broken up."
"Shen Yixiao is the man that many wealthy ladies in South City want to marry." Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue and asked closer, "Is there really no chance for you two?"
Cen Wan lowered her eyes, her thick, curled eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her eyelids. She bit her lip and whispered, "That's all in the past. We are from two different worlds now."
"Besides, I don't have the energy to think about these things."
Someone like Shen Yixiao would be the focus of the crowd just by standing there. It's no surprise that he was a favored child of heaven and had a noble background.
But, he is such a proud person, he should only feel disgust and hatred towards himself now, how could it be possible?
Seeing Cen Wan's gloomy expression, Jiang Yuan came to his senses after being shocked. This topic was not a pleasant one for Cen Wan. After all, the more passionate their love was, the more embarrassing their separation would be.
What's more, her current situation is very difficult.
Jiang Yuan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."
"What's wrong with Shen Yixiao? What's wrong with him being rich, powerful, and handsome? We don't care!"
"Our Ah Wan is stunningly beautiful and has a good personality. Are you afraid that no man will like her?"
Cen Wan smiled and said, "Thank you, but it didn't comfort me at all."
Jiang Yuan: “…”
"Ah Wan, sometimes speaking too directly can also be a weapon that hurts others."
Cen Wan leaned her head on Jiang Yuan's shoulder: "None of this matters to me right now."
Jiang Yuan also understood what she meant, and then he remembered the key point: "What if you can't get the stone?"
Cen Wan's fingers unconsciously rubbed the soda bottle in her hand: "If I really can't get it, then I can only go into the mountains to look for it myself."
…
They chatted until midnight and Jiang Yuan fell asleep because he couldn't hold on any longer.
Cen Wan lay on the bed, listening to the even and long breathing beside her, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
The reunion with Shen Yixiao was like throwing a stone into the calm water, splashing layers of ripples, and the ripples on the water spread out in circles, just like her restless thoughts.
The alcohol did not numb her nerves, but made her more sober.
In a trance, Cen Wan recalled the scene of her first meeting with Shen Yixiao.
It was also in such a summer, in a space filled with noise and alcohol.
