Even before auditioning for Director Zhu's play, Su Xi had actually taken a liking to Qiao Xing's script, but because modern dramas were far less interesting to her than ancient dramas.
Su Xi ultimately chose Director Zhu's film.
She was actually quite curious about what the final product would be like.
Once the idea took hold, she took a step forward and said, "Sister Hua, would you be interested in visiting Miss Qiao's film set?"
Hua Qing followed behind, "Going to catch them cheating?"
Su Xi had already started walking forward. "Find the screenwriter."
It's said that the screenwriter was on set with Qiao Xing, and Su Xi went to check things out and ask the screenwriter about revising the script.
The two rushed to the film set where Qiao Xing was. Hua Qing really thought Su Xi was there to catch her cheating, and searched for Qiao Xing's shadow inside and out.
After searching around, they couldn't find Qiao Xing anywhere. They learned from the staff that Qiao Xing had left the crew half an hour earlier.
Hua Qing understood immediately, and muttered under her breath, "Your husband must have taken Qiao Xing to a hotel. Let's go, let's tear this mistress apart."
Just as Hua Jie finished speaking, Su Xi's phone rang.
When I took it out, I was surprised to find that it was Si Nan calling.
"Will your man answer?"
Hua Qing coughed twice. "Turn on the speakerphone."
Su Xi swiped to answer the call, but before she could even turn on the speakerphone, Si Nan's anxious voice came through, "Su Xi, Lin Ye and A Ming are fighting. You'd better come to the bar right away."
...
When Su Xi arrived at the bar, Lin was lying on the ground, and Zhou Jingming's brothers were holding him up. Qiao Xing was also there, clearly frightened, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Lin was also in a sorry state, with bruises on his face. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were sinister.
"Since you haven't changed your playful nature, why are you getting married?"
“I’m telling you, Zhou Jingming, if you can’t give Xi’er happiness, let go and don’t hold her back.”
"She wants to establish herself in the entertainment industry, and you're not the only one who can help her."
Lin Ye is usually mild-mannered and rarely loses his temper, but at this moment, the way he protects Su Xi is both cold and ruthless.
Those present were also intimidated by Lin Ye's imposing presence.
It was as if they were getting to know Lin Ye all over again.
Su Xi stood at the door, completely bewildered by what had happened. Si Nan only said that Lin Ye and Zhou Jingming had fought, without explaining why.
Zhou Jingming may appear roguish on the surface, but he is ruthless and gloomy at heart. Lin Ye is gentle and refined, and is no match for him at all.
Lin Ye pointed at his forehead and scolded him, but Zhou Jingming's tone was undeniably harsh: "If you could help her, why did she come to me?!"
"Zhou Jingming, don't be so arrogant." Lin Ye got up from the ground, his back slightly bent, still wanting to come closer and make a move.
The man standing in front shook off his brother who was holding him, a smile playing on his lips, and his figure flashed past.
With a bang.
The angry punch, brimming with absolute ferocity, slammed down with a whoosh.
"What happens between her and me is none of your business!"
Lin also staggered backward.
Su Xi tried to stop him, but it was too late. Zhou Jingming's punch was too fast, far beyond her expectations.
So far, she has only seen two people with this speed.
One of them is Mr. Jiu.
The other one is Zhou Jingming.
Who exactly is this man?
How can someone have such skills?
Before Su Xi could even think, Zhou Jingming picked up Lin Ye and was about to hit him again when Su Xi pushed through the crowd and stood directly in front of Lin Ye.
"Stop hitting!"
The tense atmosphere immediately eased when Su Xi appeared.
Everyone present was Zhou Jingming's friend, and each of them was quite the ladies' man. Everyone knew that Su Xiqiang had slept with Zhou Jingming, and they were all well aware of the relationship between the three of them.
Two men who grew up together, one became her husband, and the other became her best male friend.
Who Su Xi would protect became the greatest source of amusement in this dispute.
Some people jokingly defended Zhou Jingming, saying, "Sister-in-law, we were sitting and drinking with A-Ming when Lin suddenly rushed out and punched him. It's no wonder A-Ming was angry."
Su Xi looked at Lin Ye, knowing that Lin Ye was definitely not an impulsive person.
Zhou Jingming must have done something outrageous to provoke Lin Ye.
There were too many people present; it wasn't the right time for her to pursue accountability.
Moreover, Lin was also injured.
Su Xi called Si Nan over and took Lin Ye to treat his wounds first.
Before leaving, she turned back and looked at Zhou Jingming with a meaningful gaze, "Honey, don't rush off later, I'll come find you."
She maintained a measured approach, with a faint smile on her face that didn't seem forced.
But only Zhou Jingming knew that she was angry.
Because he hit Lin Ye.
As soon as Su Xi left, one of the brothers teased Zhou Jingming, "Your wife is planning to spread her love evenly among herself. Young Master Zhou, you're in danger."
Danger?
Zhou Jingming raised his head and drank, slamming the glass down on the table with a playful chuckle, "My stamina is better than Lin's, and my Xi'er likes me!"
A group of people burst into laughter.
Everyone knows what Lin does.
Even someone who wields a scalpel every day can't compare to Young Master Zhou, who fights fiercely in bed.
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Xing, who was sitting next to him, took out a tissue and leaned closer. "Young Master Zhou, you're injured. Let me wipe it for you."
Meanwhile, Su Xi had Si Nan fetch the first-aid kit and then personally treated Lin Ye's facial injuries.
Zhou Jingming was really ruthless; Lin's face was almost completely bruised.
As the disinfectant was being used to clean the wound, Lin grimaced in pain.
Su Xi retorted angrily, "Now you know it hurts? Weren't you quite bold when you were being unreasonable?"
"Tell me, what exactly happened that made Dr. Lin resort to violence?"
Lin also stared into Su Xi's eyes and remained silent for a moment.
Su Xi, being impatient, asked again before he could respond, "What did Zhou Jingming do to offend you?"
"He's having an affair with Qiao Xing."
Lin also confessed the whole story.
The reason is this: someone posted a photo on WeChat Moments showing Zhou Jingming and Qiao Xing being intimate in a bar. Lin also felt indignant for Su Xi, so she rushed to the bar.
After hearing this, Su Xi smiled helplessly. It seems that Sister Hua's words have been blessed, and this has been proven true!
"I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it was just this."
"Aren't you angry?"
"What's there to be angry about? You know what kind of person Zhou Jingming is." Su Xi was completely calm, without the slightest bit of anger.
Lin Ye's eyes deepened, revealing an emotion that Su Xi couldn't decipher: "Is it worth sacrificing your happiness for your future?"
Su Xi smiled and said, "Dr. Lin used the word 'sacrifice,' which is an exaggeration."
"I'm going to get married anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry."
"Although Zhou Jingming is a playboy, Aunt Shen is a good person. I am very happy to be with her, much more comfortable than during those years in the Su family."
Lin Ye felt as if her heart had been ripped apart by a hand, the pain almost suffocating her.
Are they all the same?
What if it were him?
Is it true that Su Xi would agree as long as he brings it up?
"Xi'er, I..."
