Chapter 59

Su Ning, who was far away in Haicheng, knew a lot about what happened in the Shen family during this period.

Before Shen Mingzheng left, or when he saw the news exposed by Glory fans, the two of them planned and discussed what would happen in the future. However, in a place like the Shen family, in front of the furious old man, and with that group of relatives, "plans" cannot solve everything, and there will always be accidents.

Sometimes Shen Mingzheng would call or video chat with him late at night. He would sit by the window and see the antique eaves of the Shen family's old house in the camera. The pointed eaves seemed to suppress people. The whole environment looked depressing and even the lights looked dim.

"It's okay," Shen Mingzheng looked at him, "Trust me."

Only when he saw Su Ning did he feel like he could breathe smoothly.

"Yes," Su Ning nodded and replied, "There's nothing wrong here in Haicheng, don't worry."

When the time was up and the phone was hung up, Su Ning sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

This was the world of a sadomasochistic novel, and he always remembered it.

It's not like he hasn't been exposed to the darkness in the circle. People can do anything for power, status and money. The situation is even worse in this world. The old man is definitely not so easy to deal with. But precisely because of this, they can't give in even a little bit. This is destined to be a difficult journey, a real thorny road.

Although he was well prepared, everyone could see that Su Ning was restless.

Recently, Liang Xiaoliang came to the company to discuss business and happened to meet and chat with Su Ning. He was surprised to find that he was still distracted.

Su Ning is a man with such strong concentration, but he would actually get distracted when he was working seriously!

Big news!

As he was talking, he suddenly froze while holding the document, with the tip of his pen stopping there. No one knew what he was thinking. Only after Liang Xiaoliang reminded him did he react and sign his name on the document and write the date.

"Oh, the date is wrong. It's yesterday's," Su Ning read it again, put the document in the shredder, and said to the secretary, "Print another copy and bring it in."

After the secretary left, Liang Xiaoliang couldn't help but ask, "Tell me the truth, what are you worried about?"

He had well-informed sources of information and had no doubt about Shen Mingzheng's ability. All the news coming from the Shen family was good.

Su Ning thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't say. Maybe too many things have happened recently."

Because Shen Mingzheng was away, Su Ning was also in charge of the affairs of Shen's Pictures. He was busy all the time and inevitably felt exhausted.

I've never seen you act like this when I was busy before. You just can't stop worrying about someone and you won't admit it.

Liang Xiaoliang muttered to himself but didn't say it out loud. After thinking about it, he changed his way of saying it.

"I think the situation at the Shen family will be settled soon, and nothing will happen in Haicheng. The company is stable, and there are enough people here," Liang Xiaoliang said, "Why don't you go out with Glory's activities and relax."

From the day he met Su Ning, this person seemed to have never rested, not even on the day of their wedding.

Su Ning was thinking seriously about his suggestion.

During this period, Glory has already held two tours. The first premiere was in Zhoushan, and the concert was sold out with tens of thousands of people. The fans gave very good feedback, and the group performed very well on stage. They sang and danced throughout the whole show and maintained their energy and enthusiasm until the very end. The concert also produced candid shots and amazing pictures that received a lot of reposts and likes. The second tour returned to Haicheng, and they directly opened a venue with a capacity of 15,000 people, which was still sold out.

An idol group that can afford a tour with tens of thousands of people already has another solid achievement that stands out.

The third tour show will be in Shenzhen next week, and tickets are now hard to come by. The group has just finished shooting two new commercials and recording the variety show "Heart of the Brave".

The latest event was in Rongcheng, where he went as the main guest of a music festival, and also had two commercials to be shot there. Su Ning had no concept of vacation in his mind, but this trip was very important, and he also thought of Ji Xue.

"Last time she returned to Rongcheng, I don't know if she has made peace with Lu Fei. I heard some gossip that they are breaking up," Su Ning said, "If I have the chance, I will go and take a look."

Liang Xiaoliang: "Okay, that's your fate."

Can't we just go and have fun?

However, on the way from Su Ning to Rongcheng, he received a message from Shen Mingzheng saying that he was coming back. He was very relieved and told him where he was now.

"Why don't you go home and wait for me," Su Ning said, "I'll be back in two days."

Although they couldn't meet right away, he felt that a day or two wouldn't make a difference.

Shen Mingzheng is different from him, he can't wait.

"Chen Tao, please go back to Haicheng and take care of some company matters first. I'll come find you," Shen Mingzheng said, "I have something I want to talk to you in person."

Su Ning nodded: "Okay, I'll send you an address, let me know when you get there."

Everyone could see that after this phone call, Glory's mood was completely different from when he set out.

Li Chu was especially aware of Su Ning's changes, so he sighed heavily and looked a little worried.

...Have you decided it's him?

When he arrived at the music festival, Li Chu still looked a little worried.

This is a music festival that has been held for many years. There was already a band performing in the front and there were a lot of spectators. While putting on makeup, Li Chu couldn't help but say to Su Ning: "In fact, there are still many people in this world."

"What?" Su Ning didn't hear clearly. He looked out the window and nodded. "There are indeed a lot of people."

He could also see fans wearing Glory's iconic sun logo headdresses, which made them stand out among the audience and made people feel good just by looking at them.

"I mean, you have to have better options."

Although he couldn't tell who it was, in Li Chu's mind, the young master was worthy of everyone. At this point, he whispered, "Shen Mingzheng, he..."

He thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a better candidate than Shen Mingzheng. I'm still not famous enough, so I don't know many people!

Li Chu beat his chest and stamped his feet in his heart.

Su Ning smiled: "What are you talking about?"

He reached out to tidy up Li Chu's hair, and when he saw his furrowed brows, he rubbed them: "Don't be so serious. We will finish filming the commercial tomorrow morning, and then you will have a day off. It's really a day off. I have found a tour guide in Rongcheng to take you out to play. Don't you want to go to the amusement park but are afraid of being watched by others? I have booked an amusement park for you tonight, let's go and have fun."

There are too many people during the day, so it is still possible to book a night in Ning as a reward.

Li Chu was coaxed by him again.

At this moment, Su Ning heard the phone ringing. He took out his phone and saw Ji Xue.

Li Chu also saw the name above.

He remembered this one.

The other members hadn't figured out the ins and outs of the recent major events. At most, they felt sorry for their fans who were scammed, and then at home they were filled with indignation and said, "I didn't expect Liao Yuansi to be this kind of person," and took it as a warning. However, Li Chu had experience, and he had already guessed most of it.

Ji Xue should have started planning a long time ago, starting with that endorsement that went beyond the standards from the beginning, but to some extent, this kind of person is indeed very suitable for the entertainment industry.

Light and shadow entertainment has come to this stage. Just a few idols are not enough. This circle is too big and too complicated. Li Chu is very popular, but he still feels that it is not enough. He must continue to accumulate and gather his own strength.

"It must be something urgent, go and answer it," Li Chu said, and then he said firmly, "Don't worry, I will work harder!"

Su Ning didn't know how many thoughts had gone through Li Chu's mind during this short period of time, and how excited he was.

Naturally, he had different feelings towards this artist whom he considered his first artist. He reached out to help Li Chu tidy up his hair, and because he was putting on makeup, he resisted the urge to pinch his chubby face. Then he went out to answer Ji Xue's call.

The call was very short. After Su Ning finished, he looked at the sky and replied, "...Okay."

It was already evening when he received the call. Glory's performance was at night. The place was brightly lit and bustling with people. It must be the most lively place in the whole Rongcheng.

In contrast, at the suburban resort, the gates were closed at night, with only the villa on the top of the mountain having lights on, and no one else was around.

On the winding mountain road, with dim street lights on, Ji Xue, wearing a large scarf, a simple sweater, trousers and flat shoes, walked down alone. It was very cold in Rongcheng in December. She came down from the most luxurious and beautiful place on the top of the mountain. She walked slowly along the way, but she did not stop and did not look back.

It was so quiet that she felt like she had been walking for half an hour, but she still hadn't walked very far, not even halfway up the mountain.

Then she heard a car approaching.

Ji Xue stopped there and then moved to the side of the road.

She cherished her life and was afraid of being hit. Then she saw the car lights approaching from afar, and finally the car stopped beside her. Su Ning, who was sitting in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and looked at her. He only had two words: "Get in the car."

Ji Xue got in the car, smiled slightly, and said, "Boss Su, you really came."

"What if I don't come?" Su Ning said, "Let you walk down there alone? There are no taxis here."

In order to pay for the evidence in other people's hands, Ji Xue even sold her car. When she got off the car, she took nothing with her except the clothes she was wearing and a mobile phone.

Ji Xue smiled: "Boss Su is indeed more soft-hearted than I thought."

Su Ning stopped on a small platform by the roadside and took a coat from the clothing department for her. It could be worn by both men and women. Then he turned around and drove down the mountain. He asked again, "It's late at night, and Lu Fei is letting you get off like this? It's too unsafe."

He felt that no matter how serious the two people's trouble was, they couldn't ignore this.

Ji Xue didn't explain, but her cell phone suddenly rang. She took a look at it, hung up, and then simply turned it off. Then after a while, Su Ning's phone rang.

At this time, the car is parked at the entrance of the resort, and if you go further, you will reach the main road.

Su Ning took a look and saw that it was Lu Fei.

As soon as he answered the phone, the person on the other end asked him bluntly, "Is Ji Xue here with you?"

Su Ning did not hide it and said yes, then said: "Boss Lu, no matter what the matter is, it is very dangerous for Ji Xue to go down the mountain alone tonight. No matter how angry you are, you can't..."

When the other party heard that Ji Xue was in her car, she was relieved at first, but then she became angry and said, "Who let her go down the mountain alone? I just walked away for a while and let her sit down, and then she sent the housekeeper away and ran away!"

"I am still angry? Ask her, have I been angry with her during this period? Did I deliberately restrict her freedom?" Lu Fei's voice became louder and louder. "She offended the Shen family alone. If I don't take her away now, what will the Shen family do to her? Can she stop them from outside?"

"Ji Xue, answer the phone! Why didn't I realize before that you have so many ideas in your head? Who is as brave as you?!"

Ji Xue turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring him.

When Lu Fei got no response, he turned to Su Ning and said, "You too! Why didn't you tell me anything about her before?"

Su Ning: "...You two are an engaged couple. If Ji Xue doesn't want to say anything, what can I say?"

Perhaps the word "engaged couple" comforted Lu Fei to some extent, and he was a little less angry. He muttered, "Yeah, you and Shen Mingzheng got married and got a marriage certificate, but you may not know how ruthless he is."

Su Ning: "...What happened to Shen Mingzheng?"

He only knew that he must have convinced the old man at the Shen family and cleared all the issues concerning him, thus getting away with it unscathed. As for other matters, the other party had not had the time to tell him.

"You don't know what happened to those people in the Shen family," Lu Fei was comforted again, "One was locked up in the hospital, and the other was sent to Hong Kong Island. Tsk, life is worse than death. The Ji Xue incident can be forgotten."

The incident ended with the Shen family clearing their name, which was a way of dealing with the matter. There were no winners in this kind of scandal, but from Lu Fei's point of view, the one who benefited the most was indeed Shen Mingzheng.

Su Ning was sleeping with such a person, he felt that Ji Xue was pretty good, she was fine, and besides, this ending was a good thing for Liao Yuansi.

After hearing the outcome of the matter today, Ji Xue was obviously in a much better mood. The two of them had dinner in the evening. Lu Fei saw her smiling at him and decided to let bygones be bygones. It didn't matter if she lied to him about selling her car and things to get revenge, since it wasn't a big sum of money.

As long as, as long as Ji Xue said a few nice words, he still wanted to be with her.

The Lu family is not the kind of unreasonable family. In fact, he has already talked to his family about this matter and has no plans to cancel the engagement. He is also thinking about whether to move up the wedding.

Then, tonight, Ji Xue ran away.

"...Have you never liked me?" Lu Fei's voice sounded sad, "But you sold so many things, but didn't sell our engagement ring. I thought you were..."

Ji Xue was silent for a while, then told the truth: "I wanted to sell it originally. The girl thought I wanted to destroy the evidence and asked for so much money. Later, when she knew what I wanted to do, she reduced the price a lot and said that it would not cost so much to go abroad."

That was the only reason she left the ring behind, but when she came down the mountain, the ring was left on the bedside table and she didn't take it with her.

Lying is very tiring, and Ji Xue has no intention of lying to Lu Fei again.

She sensed the other party's silence and said bluntly, "Let's separate."

"In fact, before I met you, I had already done some research on what kind of person you are. I know everything about what you like and what you want to do. But Brother Fei, you may never know what kind of person I am."

"We are not suitable for each other, that's all."

Ji Xue hung up the phone. Su Ning heard his phone ring again, but Ji Xue didn't want to answer it. Su Ning could only send him a message to remind him: "Let her calm down for a while."

"She really doesn't want to talk to you right now. It's no use coming to me about your problems."

The other party finally calmed down.

But Lu Fei's last words sounded a little choked, as if he was crying.

Su Ning was not in a position to interfere in other people's love lives, so he restarted the car and drove onto the main road. After a while, he said to Ji Xue, "You really never liked him?"

Ji Xue did not deny it. She lifted her hair and said, "I did like him. He is a good man."

"But like I said before, I don't care."

Not everyone takes liking someone as important, there are always other things that are more important.

Su Ning didn't quite understand matters of the heart; he frowned and looked as if he didn't understand you guys.

Ji Xue seemed to see what he was thinking, and said, "What's there to not understand? Aren't you and Shen Mingzheng the same? We are all the same, why are you blaming me?"

Su Ning: “…”

After a while, he said, "We are working together. I trust him very much. That's all. It has nothing to do with likes or dislikes."

"Ah," Ji Xue looked at him with interest, "So this is how you deceive yourself."

"Do you believe what I said?"

Su Ning didn't know how the topic of other people's love life suddenly turned to his own.

Perhaps it is human nature to gossip. Ji Xue was not going to let him go and continued to ask, "Honestly, Mr. Su, have you never been in love? I think anyone with eyes can see that Mr. Shen has you in his heart. He likes you very, very much."

Su Ning: “…”

He was silent for a long time, then said: "Don't talk nonsense, we are just, just..."

Not only did he stutter a bit, but he also didn't come out for half a day.

This period of time was the first time that he and Shen Mingzheng were separated for such a long time. When they lived together before, he could not feel any changes, but once they were separated for a period of time, it was like being popped like a bubble. Su Ning himself could not completely deny it.
