Chapter 55 Chapter 55 "Do you still like me?"...
Lin Dayong carefully considered his words, finally making up his mind and blurting out, "What exactly happened in Italy? What's the connection between Chu Sheng and you?"
His tone was careful and gentle, afraid to touch a nerve in Xia Nuan and bring back bad memories. "When we went to pick you up, who brought you back? That car seemed to be a limited edition. Was that person also Chu Sheng?"
Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, "Brother Lin, what happened?"
Lin Dayong handed her his phone and opened @楮盛Eustace's Weibo. "The clothes you're wearing in this photo are the same ones you were wearing when we met you."
This photo shows Xia Nuan holding Chu Sheng's hand as they walk into the hotel door. The two of them look very close.
Xia Nuan frowned. She scrolled through the screen and her eyes stopped on a highly-rated answer: "Those shoes cost 30 million!!!"
Xia Nuan looked towards the corner, where the pair of high heels she had casually thrown there were lying all over the place.
Lin Dayong also looked over, and the two of them exchanged glances, "So, you didn't realize these shoes were so valuable."
Lin Dayong coughed. "Let's not talk about that. Xiaoxia, what exactly happened? This Chu Sheng is the head of Keken Capital. Did you know about this? How did you two meet?"
After Lin Dayong started asking her the first question, Xia Nuan's brows had been furrowed. When she heard about Keken Capital, she felt like her brows were about to tie into a knot. "Brother Lin, what is Keken Capital?"
Chu Sheng, isn’t he the leader of the Molegs family? And didn’t he say that he was a photographer who was hunted and forced to wander around the world?
Lin Dayong suddenly felt that Xia Nuan might know about the same thing as he did.
"Brother Lin, has the editor-in-chief of Z Fashion changed now?"
She seemed to vaguely remember that the editor-in-chief and Chu Sheng seemed to be siblings.
Xia Nuan suddenly spoke, startling Lin Dayong. "Z Fashion, wait a minute, let me check."
After a while, Lin Dayong said, "It changed a long time ago. It seems like six or seven years ago, Z Fashion changed its editor-in-chief."
"But, Xiaoxia, why are you asking about Z Fashion? Does it have anything to do with this matter?"
Xia Nuan shook her head and pursed her lips. "I do know Chu Sheng. But nothing really happened between us. He—"
Xia Nuan recounted what had happened in Italy over the past few days, omitting some details that she thought were unnecessary.
"So, this guy is also a mafia boss." Lin Dayong didn't dare to breathe, blinking for a long while before saying, "I really don't know how you got through those few days."
"Okay, I know what to do next." Lin Dayong cheered up, "Luckily that guy is a foreigner, otherwise I would be even more worried if he were around you. This guy seems to be much more cunning."
"Xiao Xia, he said he wanted to compensate you." Lin Dayong pointed at the pair of shoes, "Could it be that one?"
Xia Nuan didn't know either, "Maybe."
Lin Dayong stood up and said, "Xiao Xia, don't worry about other things. I, your brother Lin, can handle this matter. You should rest well at home recently. I will go talk to Langfeng. They are the ones at fault this time."
After seeing Lin Dayong off, Xia Nuan lost her sleepiness.
The comments online seemed to be completely different from those last night. Xia Nuan turned off her phone.
She made herself a cup of tea.
The contract she signed with "Let's Go" clearly stated that the safety of the guests must be guaranteed. Now that this incident has happened, the contract has definitely been breached, and it is uncertain whether the show can be broadcast.
Xia Nuan held the hot tea in her hand, staring at the light brown tea soup in deep thought.
Brother Lin has already negotiated for her, and the contract between her and Lang Feng needs to be renegotiated.
Xia Nuan thought about her personal studio, which was about to be completed. Now the most basic staff had been recruited, but she had not yet started recruiting actors, which was the big deal.
The phone screen suddenly lit up. Xia Nuan picked up the phone and Fang Danyi's voice came from the phone, "Ahhhh, you finally answered the phone. Are you okay now? Are you home? Can I come over to see you?"
Xia Nuan heard a voice crying "Mom" on the other end of the phone.
Xia Nuan smiled and shook her head, "You should spend more time with your child. I haven't seen you for so long, you must miss your mother. I'm fine. Once the studio is officially completed, it will be difficult for you to not see me."
Fang Danyi looked at her little son who was tugging at her clothes and helplessly picked him up. "Alright. Alas, I didn't want to come back so early, but my husband rushed to Italy and brought me home."
Fang Danyi's tone was full of happiness.
The two of them chatted for more than an hour, and Xia Nuan had a faint smile on her face the whole time.
When the call was about to end, Fang Danyi suddenly asked, "By the way, Nuan, do you still think Ji Mian is just a friend to you?"
Fang Danyi sighed deeply. "I'm a married woman now, and I know what love is like. Although I don't know what happened, I can feel that you are very resistant to love."
"Nuan, Ji Mian may not have told you that after you and Le Zhiqi disappeared, that bastard surnamed Li initially didn't allow people to call the police. And for his own sake, he even prevented people from asking the embassy for help. In order to get to the embassy, Ji Mian tied a bed sheet to his body and climbed out of the window in the middle of the night..."
"Although I originally hoped that you and Lou Su would be together, now I feel that Ji Mian is a really good person. Don't you want to find a confidant who can comfort you when you are sad and be with you when you—"
Xia Nuan interrupted her, "You're such a self-conscious married woman! You're already rushing to get married before you're even old enough. Come on, go take care of your baby. I can hear him constantly calling for his mom to stay with him."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Nuan held her face and lay on the sofa, not moving for a long time.
She may have feelings for Ji Mian, but these feelings are not enough to make her want to be with Ji Mian.
Moral kidnapping is not popular these days. Ji Mian has indeed done a lot for her, and she can repay him in other ways, but that does not include giving herself to him.
Xia Nuan couldn't imagine what it would be like for her to fall in love again, let alone get married. It was strange to think about it. Isn't it good to be alone?
Xia Nuan shook her head and put all the thoughts in a small box in her heart.
Xia Nuan steamed two boiled eggs and heated a cup of milk, intending to just fill her stomach.
Xia Nuan was drinking milk when her cell phone rang. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Ji Mian."
Xia Nuan immediately put the milk down. Perhaps because she had just discussed this with Fang Danyi, Xia Nuan suddenly felt a little guilty. "Well, have you eaten yet?"
There seemed to be a faint smile on the other side. "I have eaten. Ah Nuan, can I come to you now?"
Xia Nuan pursed her lips, "Okay, I'm at home. Come over."
Ji Mian: "I'll be there soon."
After Xia Nuan hung up the phone, the doorbell suddenly rang. Could it be Ji Mian? He came quite quickly.
Xia Nuan opened the door and asked, "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Su Yuzhou shook his phone and shrugged. "I called you several times and sent you several WeChat messages, but you didn't answer. I thought something might have happened, so I came to see you."
Xia Nuan invited him in. "It's unfortunate that today I can't entertain you. Ji Mian will be here soon, so why don't you leave first—"
Su Yuzhou unbuttoned the first button on his shirt, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "Are you together?"
"Not really." Xia Nuan said, "Hey, this—big director, let me pour you another cup."
Su Yuzhou handed her the water cup and said, "Why would I leave then? Let my heroine be alone in a room with a man. Tsk, that's scary, it's like dry wood and inflamed fire."
"Hey, Su Yuzhou, be careful with your words."
Su Yuzhou looked up at her, then yawned loudly, "I rushed here from the film set and drove all night. Do you have a place here for me to sleep? I have to rush back at three in the afternoon-"
Xia Nuan rubbed her temples. She knew Su Yuzhou was worried about her. "I'll book a hotel for you. I'll treat you to lunch at noon. You can go there and catch up on some sleep first."
Su Yuzhou gave a bitter smile, but that expression quickly disappeared. "Xia Yinghou, you are so cruel. I am Su Yuzhou, you have offended me by doing this, do you know? The consequences of offending me are-"
The phone rang again, "A Nuan, I'm here."
The doorbell rang again.
Xia Nuan didn't know what she was feeling guilty about. She glared at Su Yuzhou, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
"A Nuan, I brought you some grapes. I saw you were too sleepy yesterday, so I thought of coming to see you again today—"
The smile on Ji Mian's face froze. "Why is Director Su here? Did you take the wrong road?"
Su Yuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ji Mian with a smile.
Xia Nuan pulled Ji Mian in, glared at Su Yuzhou again, and said silently: "Let's go!"
Xia Nuan pinched her eyes. She hadn't done anything, so why did she feel like she'd been caught cheating? She had no relationship with either of these two people, and she had never had any ambiguous relationship with either of them.
Ji Mian didn't ask what happened just now, "Would you like some grapes, Ah Nuan?"
Xia Nuan's expression was a little serious. She wanted to make things clear. She didn't like to be ambiguous. If she liked someone, she liked him. If she didn't like someone, she didn't like him.
Ji Mian washed the grapes and handed them to Xia Nuan. "Whatever you want to say, I'm listening."
Xia Nuan took a deep breath, opened her mouth, looked at Ji Mian, pursed her lips, and then took a grape and put it in her mouth.
The grapes were quite delicious. Xia Nuan ate a few more and felt a little better.
"Do you still like me?" Xia Nuan didn't want to say this, but the words just came out of her mouth.
Ji Mian had no mental preparation at all. After hearing these words, the blush spread from his ears to his cheeks.
