Chapter 220
Jiang Qiao never thought of herself as a saint. If it were in the past, she would not have meddled in Song Qingying's unclear attitude.
However, her mood was very complicated now. She inexplicably obtained the protagonist energy belonging to Song Qingying. Seeing Song Qingying staying alone in the ward, she suddenly felt that Song Qingying was quite pitiful.
Even if this misery was not caused by her, even if this misery was brought upon herself by Song Qingying,
Jiang Qiao sighed. This was all she could do. If a person didn't save himself, even gods couldn't help.
After a few more days of observation in the hospital, Jiang Qiao received many messages on her phone. Her disappearance was well under control and not many people knew about it.
Only a few directors who cooperated with the investigation knew about it, and they all sent warm greetings. Their attitudes were much gentler than when they were on the crew, and they were even more cautious.
Are you kidding? During the short few hours that Jiang Qiao was missing, the guy from Guonan was almost going crazy looking for him. Now everyone knows that Lu Xun is the one behind Jiang Qiao.
Director Zhang expressed his concern and said politely: "Before the movie is released, we still need everyone to help promote it. Xiao Jiang, are you feeling well?"
This is a normal process. Jiang Qiao didn’t think much about it and replied directly: [Sure, no problem on my end]
Director Zhang: [That’s good, that’s good…]
After replying this, Jiang Qiao was about to exit the chat interface when he caught a glimpse of a line of small words above: "The other party is typing..."
She waited for a while, but Director Zhang didn't say anything else, so she took the initiative to ask: "Director Zhang, do you have anything else to tell me?"
This time, there was no hesitation and a message came a few seconds later.
Director Zhang: [Originally I shouldn’t be asking this question, but since it involves the release of our film, I thought about it and decided I should ask you, Xiao Jiang, what are your plans for Xiao Wu?]
Zhang Kang knew a little bit about the inside story and knew that Jiang Wu was also involved. He had no relatives with Jiang Wu, but Jiang Wu was the male lead of the movie anyway, so there was no guarantee that he would not be banned by Guonan Group.
The male lead has been banned, how can we promote the film? How can the film be released?
Zhang Kang sighed, vaguely regretting that he had agreed to Jiang Chao, his nephew with whom he had little contact.
The phone rang again. Jiang Qiao went to check and saw another message from Zhang Kang.
[Xiao Jiang, I don't mean anything else, but this is your first movie and it's very important to your acting career. I hope you can give it some thought.]
The director is afraid that something might happen to the cast members, and the actors are afraid that the film might not be released or might not perform well at the box office. If an accident happens to the first film, what will people in the industry think?
Moreover, she has always been at the center of public opinion, with many voices of doubt. It will not do her any good if Jiang and Wu get into trouble now.
In the hotel, Zhang Kang looked at his phone anxiously. Several assistant directors were around him, all staring at his phone nervously.
With a "ding" sound, the phone screen lit up. Zhang Kang opened it hastily to see what was going on, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"Director Zhang, how is it? What did they say over there?"
"Yes, Director Zhang, can this movie still be released?"
Several people were talking at once, and seeing that Zhang Kang didn't say anything, they hurriedly pulled over his phone to look at it. The chat interface had the largest font size for middle-aged and elderly people, so it was very clear.
Jiang Qiao: [Director Zhang, don't worry.]
It was just a short sentence, without any promise, but it made people feel inexplicably relieved. They had only one thought in their minds—Jiang Wu was temporarily saved, and the movie could wait safely for its release.
On the day of discharge, Liu Lin showed up. Seeing the man holding flowers and smiling outside the ward, Lu Xun's face darkened.
Lu Xun has not forgotten that it was because of Liu Lin's talkativeness that he missed Jiang Qiao's waking up and caused Jiang Qiao to misunderstand him.
"Boss Liu, is there something wrong?" Lu Xun stood in front of the ward, blocking the girl's curious sight. His expression was not very friendly.
Liu Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly: "I was busy the past few days. I heard that Miss Jiang was discharged from the hospital, so I came to visit her."
It wasn't that he was busy. In fact, Lu Xun didn't let him get close to the hospital and was just looking for trouble.
It was true that he would destroy the bridge after crossing it. Liu Lin’s face became even gentler, as if she didn’t notice Lu Xun’s “unwelcome” expression at all.
"Mr. Lu won't invite me in?"
“………………………………”
Two equally tall men stood opposite each other, one was handsome and indifferent, the other was gentle and approachable, both were equally outstanding.
After a while, he heard the girl's confused cry and then he slowly turned aside to make way.
Liu Lin nodded politely, walked in slowly, and placed the flowers on the bedside table: "Is Miss Jiang feeling better? Are you feeling any worse?"
Jiang Qiao was a little surprised to see that it was Liu Lin. His eyes subconsciously followed his movements and saw a bunch of uniquely packaged blue enchantresses. He was absent-minded for a moment.
Before she could react, Liu Lin said, "I am so sorry for letting Miss Jiang encounter such a bad thing in Haicheng."
Hearing this apologetic voice, Jiang Qiao came back to her senses and met Liu Lin's bottomless black eyes. She thought of the restaurant and what Liu Lin said to her.
Jiang Qiao subconsciously looked away, his tone somewhat distant: "Boss Liu, you must be joking. We are not related. You don't need to be responsible for my safety. We are going back now. Sorry for bothering you to come here."
The girl's words meant to distance herself from the relationship, indicating that she was not familiar with Liu Lin.
Someone who was packing up her things with a gloomy face looked better. At least she stopped folding her English vocabulary book.
Jiang Qiao retracted her gaze and breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Xun was narrow-minded, so she had to behave better.
Liu Lin took in all the girl's little movements, with an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice still gentle: "Well, I hope Miss Jiang and Mr. Lu have a safe journey."
"Thank you." Jiang Qiao smiled politely.
Liu Lin came without warning and left very quickly without further entanglement, as if he was really just fulfilling his host's courtesy to visit Jiang Qiao.
The bright blue enchantress lying quietly on the table was a sign of his presence.
Lu Xun looked at it for a second and then looked away, his lips pursed tightly into a straight line and his brows furrowed.
There wasn't much stuff, so they packed it up quickly. The weather was already very cold, so Lu Xun took out a coat for the girl to wear, zipped it up to the top, and before leaving, he asked in a tense voice, "Is there anything you forgot to bring?"
Jiang Qiao's face flushed from the heat. He glanced at the ward subconsciously, shook his head and answered honestly, "I don't know. Didn't you clean up everything?"
As long as Lu Xun was around, she never did such a thing, so how could she know that he had forgotten to bring anything.
These words obviously did not touch Lu Xun's heart. He frowned and asked again: "Take a closer look."
Here I come, here I come, Xiao Ming!
