Accident
In the spacious and bright studio, flash lights are flashing one after another.
It is inevitable that there will be some intimate actions in a photo of two people. Instead of being shy and wasting time, it is better to close your eyes and make up your mind to get it done quickly.
Jiang Xiao and Zhou Wenting both knew this truth very well, so they cooperated with each other very well during the shooting process. No matter how the photographer instructed, they could understand each other's intentions at the first time, and make changes to achieve the desired effect.
While the staff was changing the props, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but look in Paul's direction again.
The group of people was roughly divided into two groups. One group was headed by Paul, who should be the internal staff of Ogami, and the other group should be the people from Zhou Group. One of the men looked familiar. She had met him once in Zhou Group. He was Zhou Qishen’s personal assistant - Chen Lie.
However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see Zhou Qishen.
"Looking for your uncle?"
Suddenly, a male voice interrupted Jiang Xiao's thoughts.
Jiang Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and found Zhou Wenting standing beside her without her noticing. He put one hand in his pocket and looked thoughtfully at the place she had just been looking at.
Zhou Wenting has begun to interfere in the company's affairs, so it is normal for him to know about Ogami's contract with Zhou Corporation. However, Jiang Xiao doesn't like others to guess her thoughts at will, especially those people she doesn't really want to talk to.
After a while, Jiang Xiao withdrew her gaze and replied expressionlessly, "It's none of your business."
Perhaps because her attitude was too cold, Zhou Wenting's eyes flashed with a hint of frustration, but it was quickly replaced by other emotions. He looked at her and continued to speak without giving up: "After the filming is over, let's talk? I think there are many misunderstandings between us."
He thought about it carefully and realized that the beginning of his relationship with Jiang Xiao was a mistake, which led to so many grudges later, even to the point where Jiang Xiao was disgusted by the sight of him.
He asked himself and realized that apart from the matter of Qianyu, he had never offended her in any other way. As a lover, he might have been a little cold to her, but it was neither his fault nor his fault, and it was not a "capital crime".
As long as Jiang Xiao is willing to sit down and have a serious talk with him, and make things clear, he believes that the relationship between them will no longer deteriorate.
Jiang Xiao listened to his words and frowned slightly. The resistance revealed in her face was just short of saying "I don't want to". He wanted to talk to her again? What is there to talk about? Wouldn't it be better if we just didn't disturb each other?
To put it bluntly, if reality did not allow it, she would like to treat Zhou Wenting as "dead" and never interfere with each other again.
But Zhou Wenting is a hidden male chauvinist, and he has the halo of the male protagonist. He will have an inexplicable obsession with anything or anyone that is out of his control, such as the heroine Lin Qianyu who once abandoned him and left, and now he is breaking up with him on his own initiative.
To sum it up in one word: cheap.
He ignores you when you have it, but starts to regret and pester you when you lose it. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao's face became even uglier, but she didn't want to confront Zhou Wenting directly, for fear of making a scene in public and making it look bad.
After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Xiao could only patiently say, "After the filming, I'm going to have dinner with your uncle, so I don't have time to talk to you."
In the current situation, it would be most appropriate to use Zhou Qishen as a shield. According to her understanding of Zhou Wenting, he still had some respect for Zhou Qishen.
Sure enough, after she said this, Zhou Wenting's face darkened and a flash of hostility flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment. Just when Jiang Xiao thought he would end the topic, she never expected his next sentence to be: "Does my uncle know that we were together before?"
Jiang Xiao's beautiful pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked up abruptly. There was a strong edge in Zhou Wenting's cold and determined black eyes.
However, Jiang Xiao did not notice the well-hidden jealousy in it. All that flashed through her mind was a guess as to whether he wanted to use this incident to deal with Zhou Qishen.
"Does it matter? That's all in the past." Jiang Xiao pursed her lips. She caught a glimpse of Lin Qianyu standing in the shadows not far away. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "By the way, does Lin Qianyu know that you lost control after drinking and came to me last time?"
Zhou Wenting's face froze, and his gaze from Jiang Xiao slowly shifted to Lin Qianyu. She had already stood up from her chair and was staring at them, and it was unknown how long she had been staring at them.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao realized something and couldn't help laughing. The arc of her lips raised a hint of undisguised sarcasm: "Does she know that you are still obsessed with my ex?"
"No……"
"Nothing?" Jiang Xiao narrowed her eyes, interrupted him, and continued to sneer: "You are not obsessed with it? Or you haven't told her?"
Zhou Wenting's usually calm and composed face showed signs of cracking. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, not a single word came out from between his lips and teeth.
He felt embarrassed and bitter as if he was seen through, because what Jiang Xiao said was right, and he could not deny either. He clearly did not like Jiang Xiao, but for some reason he just could not let her go.
Especially after learning that she was with his uncle, he felt regretful more than once, but what was he regretting?
Do you regret not breaking up with Jiang Xiao completely instead of getting entangled with Lin Qianyu, causing people to gossip about you? Or do you regret breaking up with Jiang Xiao so quickly? Or does he regret that he should not have agreed to be with Jiang Xiao in the first place?
Zhou Wenting could no longer figure out what exactly he regretted, but the reality was that there was no possibility of reconciliation between Jiang Xiao and him.
I don't know how much time had passed. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Xiao was too lazy to wait, so she found an excuse to ask the makeup artist to touch up her makeup in order to distance herself from Zhou Wenting.
When the shooting was over, Liang Cheng went to answer a phone call, and Jiang Xiao followed the staff back to the dressing room. The moment she opened the door, she saw an unexpected person.
The tall man was sitting in the position where she had just put on makeup, with a navy blue suit jacket draped over the backrest. His owner was staring straight ahead in boredom, his fingers tapping the edge of the chair without rhythm, his unfocused eyes slightly dazed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man turned his head as if aware of something. His scattered eyes gradually gathered on Jiang Xiao, and he said lazily, "Is it over?"
Jiang Xiao was a little surprised, and lowered her voice to the person behind her and said, "Wait two minutes, I'll change my clothes and come out."
After that, Jiang Xiao took a few steps forward, closed the open door, and said with a hint of surprise: "Why didn't you come just now?"
Zhou Qishen turned his chair, faced her and said with a smile: "Why should I go to the scene and make myself feel upset?"
Then, he seemed to realize something, and the smile on his lips gradually deepened: "Why, are you looking forward to my going?"
Jiang Xiao rolled her eyes at his self-righteous tone and snorted, "No, I didn't. I just saw Chen Zhu but not you, and I felt it was a little strange... What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you." Zhou Qishen only uttered two simple words, but soon he added: "By the way, I'll check on you."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao glanced at the stack of photo albums in his arms. It was the same photo pose that the staff had shown her just now, and the open state showed that he had already flipped through them.
Perhaps noticing her gaze, Zhou Qishen lowered his eyes in the direction of her gaze and glanced at the photo album in his arms, but did not speak.
In the silence, a slight awkwardness spread in the air.
Soon, Jiang Xiao opened her red lips slightly and broke the silence: "I want to change clothes."
"I'll wait for you, and then we'll go out for dinner together." Zhou Qishen said lightly.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Jiang Xiao's eyelids twitched. She hesitated whether to ask him to leave, but then she thought, she had already seen everything she should have seen, and he just needed to change clothes. There was no need to be on guard against him like a thief.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao no longer had any scruples. She walked to the cabinet where her private clothes were stored and started changing clothes.
But her eyes still unconsciously glanced in Zhou Qishen's direction a few times. He was more honest than she thought. His eyes were straight and he had no intention of peeking.
Not long after, Jiang Xiao changed her clothes. Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Xiao thought it was the staff coming to urge her, so she opened the door without any precautions.
However, behind the door was Zhou Wenting's annoying face.
There was no one else in the corridor except him. The staff was probably sent away by him. Jiang Xiao couldn't understand why he was so persistent. His head was buzzing and he asked unhappily, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Jiang Xiao, I think we still have to..."
Jiang Xiao was about to say something, but the next second——
A fierce fist gust of wind passed by his eyes and landed straight on the left side of Zhou Wenting's face.
Zhou Wenting was caught off guard and was hit hard. His body was unstable and he staggered two steps in embarrassment.
Not long after, before he had recovered from the shock, someone grabbed his collar from the front. A single thought put him at a complete disadvantage and he was beaten unilaterally.
The sandbag-sized fist landed accurately on his left cheek again without any hesitation. The attacker was merciless, punching him hard and one could even hear the sound of bones hitting each other.
The accident happened too fast.
Jiang Xiao was unable to react in time. When she recovered, she immediately tried to pull the two people apart, "Stop! Stop fighting!"
But with her weak and thin body, she was no match for an adult man. There was simply no gap for her to get in.
It was impossible to stop the two grown men physically, so Jiang Xiao could only try to awaken Zhou Qishen's reason by lowering her voice as much as possible: "Zhou Qishen! Stop it!"
Her scolding was effective.
Zhou Qishen followed his instructions, loosened his hand, took half a step back, and then pushed Zhou Wenting away.
A gentle beam of light shone on the side of his face. His features were strong and his expression was solemn. Except for his suit being a little irregular due to being pulled by his limbs, he looked like nothing had happened and he didn't even take a breath.
On the other hand, Zhou Wenting seemed to have suffered a great loss. His clothes were disheveled, his tie was loose, and both sides of his face had varying degrees of injuries, especially the left side, which was red, swollen and blue, with a few horrifying streaks of blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
