Chapter 033
The noise here attracted the attention of the two people. The man gently pinched Ning Qingzhuo's arm and said, "Stop making trouble." Then the man smiled, let go of his hand and stood up straight.
He seemed to have just remembered that there was someone else in the room, and looked over with a look of realization: "Xu Jingning, let me introduce you, this is my brother, Lu Zexi."
Then, he turned to the man and said, "You know Xu Jingning, right? You invested a lot of money in the performance."
Lu Zexi raised his head, his eyes indifferent, and replied "Yeah" without any emotion.
Xu Jingning took a deep breath and immediately stood up and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Hello," Lu Zexi's tone was unexpectedly very easygoing, "Qingzhuo treats you as a friend, there's no need to be so reserved."
At this point, Xu Jingning roughly realized the identity of the person in front of him.
When Ning Qingzhuo debuted, he came directly from his own company. Because of the natural attention he received, netizens jokingly said that he brought the popularity from the financial sector to the entertainment sector.
That company was Lu's attempt to formally enter the entertainment industry, and the result was that it quickly became one of the top companies in just a few years.
Ning Qingzhuo often mentioned "brother" before. At first, Xu Jingning thought it was a close relative, but now it seems that Ning Qingzhuo was just teasing him on purpose.
"Do I need a ride back home?"
Lu Zexi's politeness was just enough, and Xu Jingning quickly refused: "No, no, I have someone to pick me up."
As soon as he finished speaking, this "someone" appeared at the door.
"Good evening, everyone."
Yan Xun's eyes passed over a few people and finally stopped at Xu Jingning: "Shall we leave now?"
So, under Ning Qingzhuo's teasing gaze, Xu Jingning gritted her teeth and walked to Yan Xun's side.
It seemed that Young Master Ning still gave him some face and did not directly expose his "lies".
The four of them left together and said goodbye at the door. During this time, Ning Qingzhuo and Xu Jingning exchanged contact information. It was not until they got in the car that Yan Xun found time to ask, "What happened when I went to see your sister today?"
"Well, I haven't found a new place to live yet, so I sent you a message on impulse." Xu Jingning said apologetically, "Sorry for the trouble, if it's inconvenient..."
"I thought we were at least friends?" Yan Xun interrupted him with a smile, "And I told you at the beginning that I would let you stay at my place for a while."
Xu Jingning slowly loosened his tightly clenched hands.
He didn't even notice it, but he felt a slight relief.
After just two sentences, the driver turned an intersection, and Yan Xun took out the tablet, performed a few simple operations, and then handed it to Xu Jingning.
The latter looked at what was in front of him and was slightly stunned.
What was displayed on the tablet was actually the candid photo that Zhong Yue had pressed with great difficulty.
"I guessed that you were worried about moving, but it should be more than that." Yan Xun said softly, "Xu Jingning, has anyone ever told you that your expression is too obvious when you are worried."
Because I usually love to laugh, once I have a blank expression on my face it's as if I'm troubled by something.
Xu Jingning paused his hand next to the tablet. He did not reply, but quickly transferred the information to his mobile phone via Bluetooth.
After a long while, just when Yan Xun thought he was going to avoid the topic, a muffled but serious voice came from the dark car: "Thank you."
He did not ask where the information came from, and Yan Xun also pointed out that he should be restrained for this purpose.
They both remained silent, waiting to go home.
Fortunately, the journey was not far and it only took about ten minutes to reach the community. The two entered the house one after another and turned on the lights. The instantly bright light shone warmly on them, filling the last bit of security.
The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened just now. Yan Xun asked in a nonchalant tone: "It's only eight o'clock. What do you want to do tonight?"
"You know about the home theater and the gym, you can go in freely. Remember to put the books in the study back to their original places after reading. If you have any other questions, you can ask me."
"Yeah, okay."
Watching Yan Xun walk towards the study, Xu Jingning planned to go back to the guest room to rest.
At this point in time, if nothing else happened, Xu Xingcheng should have returned home.
It's time to provide some convenience to 2874.
He greeted Xiao An in advance and learned that the funded actor had already left the crew. Then he pretended to be nonchalant and asked Xu Jingning about it: "Sister, are you free?"
Xu Xingcheng was free at the time, so he replied quickly: "What's wrong?"
"How's Xiao An's situation going?" Xu Jingning made up an excuse after careful consideration. "Director Chen said before that he could recommend some hardworking new actors to him. I didn't think about it. If Xiao An leaves the group, you can tell Director Chen about it."
"Ah, so... Actually, it's been resolved." Xu Xingcheng laughed for some reason, "His role has been retained. Thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, Xu Jingning became even more convinced that Xu Xingcheng was definitely hiding something.
She has never been polite to him. What is she hiding from him?
2874 in his mind indicated that he had arrived, so Xu Jingning ended the topic: "Okay, it's still a long time before Director Chen's next film, so we can try to help him out when we have a chance. We've been very busy lately, so remember to rest early."
The person on the other end seemed to be holding back anger, so she quickly responded and quickly exited WeChat. Then, she hesitated and called another person.
Seeing this, 2874 immediately turned on the recording function and connected with Xu Jingning at the same time, allowing him to hear everything happening over there in real time.
The phone rang three times, and then someone picked it up: "Hello? Miss Xu?"
"Teacher Yan! Ning Ning suddenly came to ask me... What should I do? Do you think he will get suspicious?"
Hearing the words "Teacher Yan", both 2874 and Xu Jingning were stunned.
Why is there still matter about Yan Xun?
After Xu Xingcheng finished speaking in a panic, Yan Xun continued to listen and comforted her, "Don't worry, he should just be showing some concern."
Maybe it was because of the phone call, Yan Xun's voice was inexplicably muffled.
"Besides, you didn't do anything wrong, so you're not afraid of him knowing."
Xu Xingcheng walked back and forth in the room, looking very anxious.
Finally, she sighed: "Teacher Yan, you are my senior, I can't make any promises to you. Apart from doing what I promised you, anything more... depends on Ningning's own wishes."
"And you can actually tell him directly without going through me."
Because of the angle, I was unable to hear Yan Xun's answer this time. I only knew that after he finished speaking, Xu Xingcheng felt relaxed.
"Okay, he's my brother, I'll naturally side with him."
At this point, the call ended and there was no more relevant information.
2874 floated back from the doll's body and chatted with Xu Jingning excitedly.
"Did your sister sell you out? Sell you to get investment for her new artist!"
"Put away those messy thoughts in your head." Xu Jingning still looked calm. "Instead of thinking about these nonsense, why not think about how to help me get rid of Zhong Yue's matter."
2874 replied with a listless "Oh", and then waited obediently for instructions.
"Let's delete this recording."
"good."
Knowing that it was of no benefit to him, Xu Jingning destroyed it without hesitation.
"Destroy your control over that dinosaur doll as well."
"Huh?" This time 2874 was a little confused. "Ningning, you spent half a year of your melon-eating energy to shape it. If you destroy the control, it will just be a simple doll... It's such a waste to just do it once and for all."
"She is my biological sister. I can't pry into her private life, can I?" Xu Jingning asked without questioning, "Just treat it as a test."
"Okay, okay."
After transferring 2874 to organize the newly obtained information, Xu Jingning opened the door, feeling a little complicated for a moment.
It was obvious that Yan Xun had reached some agreement with Xu Xingcheng, and he was doing it behind his back even though it was related to him.
And for some reason, Yan Xun's tone seemed a little off.
He wanted to test it out first, so he slowly walked towards the study.
I knocked on the door twice, but no one answered. I pushed it open and walked inside, only to find that no one was there.
Xu Jingning came out again and searched several rooms, but still did not see any trace of Yan Xun.
It’s strange. He had just finished a phone call with Xu Xingcheng and not much time had passed. Where could he have gone?
Thinking of this, Xu Jingning's gaze moved to the last room he had not entered.
That is Yan Xun's bedroom.
"Yan Xun? Are you there?" Xu Jingning knocked on the door, but got no response as before. But at this point, he was a little hesitant about whether to go in.
The door was not locked and it opened with a slight turn of the handle. Xu Jingning first stuck his head in to look inside. Although his vision did not catch anything, his sensitive hearing did detect some sounds.
After walking a few steps inside, you will find that the master bedroom is equipped with a separate bathroom.
The lights were on inside at this moment, and a figure was faintly visible through the frosted glass.
Xu Jingning suddenly didn't dare to move.
It's obvious who is in the bathroom.
He was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to make a sound, but he also knew that his behavior while someone was taking a shower was like that of a Peeping Tom.
Suddenly, any thought of probing disappeared, and Xu Jingning tiptoed back, wanting to leave the master bedroom.
Just as he was about to reach the door and leave the master bedroom, the bathroom door suddenly slammed loudly. Xu Jingning was so frightened that his breathing stopped. In just a moment, the bathroom door was pushed open.
He and Yan Xun were looking at each other.
The ends of her hair were stained with cold moisture, her face was flushed, and the not-so-tight yukata she wore revealed some well-defined muscles. She was stared at by those dark eyes, which made people so obsessed that they couldn't move away.
"Yan... Teacher Yan... Well, I called you but you didn't respond, so I came in without permission." Xu Jingning's breathing stagnated, and he hurriedly found an excuse, "I originally wanted to ask you about your acting skills, but since it's so late, I'd better not disturb you!"
His heart was beating fast, and now Xu Jingning just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
But Yan Xun didn't seem to have any emotion, he just nodded: "Can you help me get something?"
Xu Jingning stood up immediately: "You say!"
"The third room on the left on the first floor, take a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet on the outermost row." Yan Xun raised his hand and rubbed his brows, "Maybe I've been busy recently and haven't rested well."
Drinking a little red wine can help you sleep.
Xu Jingning quickly agreed and turned around to go downstairs to get the red wine.
But when I took it back, Yan Xun was already sitting on the bed.
Looking at the face with deep features illuminated by the bedside lamp, Xu Jingning was stunned.
"Thank you," when the person approached, Yan Xun was about to take the red wine, but the other person dodged him.
When he raised his eyes, Xu Jingning's expression was very serious.
He suddenly asked, "Yan Xun, do you have a fever?"
