Chapter 84 The Gossip Behind the Scenes
"Sister Wei, what happened to Brother Chen?"
Xiaoman asked cautiously, holding a water cup in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
Yu Wei's face had been very bad since she came back last night. Upon hearing this, she glanced at her coldly: "You feel it too, right?"
"......ah?"
"Ever since the incident with the Wu family, something has been wrong with him. He has become increasingly cold towards me these past few days."
Yu Wei took a deep breath and said, "He must be blaming me. Xiaoman, do you think... does he regret it?"
She didn't say what she regretted, and Xiaoman didn't dare to ask.
The two of them just stood in the sun, watching the RV moving silently in the distance.
In the car.
As soon as Song Yuchen went up, he took out a bottle of iced water from the refrigerator and drank it in one gulp. He didn't stop until his whole body and mind had cooled down.
His chin was soaked by the overflowing water. He wiped it off with his hand nonchalantly, then turned around and fell onto the sofa behind him.
Why did the employees of Tan Palace say that they had offended their boss last night?
Ever since he entered the circle, he has been very smooth in everything and has almost never provoked anyone, and the number of people he and Yu Wei have provoked together... is even smaller.
Apart from Fang Li, he really couldn't think of anyone else.
If the boss lady mentioned by the Tan Palace employees is Fang Li, then she...
Song Yuchen raised his hand and pressed his eyes hard with the back of his hand, unwilling to think about that guess.
But the more he tried not to think about it, the more clues started popping up: the man Yu Wei saw in Hangzhou who paid her the penalty, and the figure he saw on the expressway that time...
After a long time, Song Yuchen suddenly turned over and sat up, took out the mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Come in."
Not long after the phone call was hung up, a chubby figure ran in from outside.
Tian Chen got in the car, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
Song Yuchen looked at him and asked, "Have you been in contact with Fang Li recently?"
Tian Chen was stunned. Hearing this name from his boss again after such a long time still felt a bit unfamiliar. He adjusted his glasses and said truthfully, "No, we haven't been in touch since Sister Fang Li returned to Haicheng."
"Do you know that she is in the capital now?"
Tian Chen nodded: "I know, I read the rumors about her some time ago."
Song Yuchen pursed his lips, his eyes flickering slightly unnaturally, and said, "Find a chance to ask her what she is doing in Beijing and where she lives now."
"ah?"
"Ah what?! Why don't you go!"
Tian Chen was embarrassed: "Brother Chen, you and Sister Fang Li have already... Everyone knows that you and Sister Wei are acting out a real relationship. It would be inappropriate for you to go to her again."
"Is it useful for you to tell me? I just want to know why she came to the capital. Is she single now or has she found another man?"
Song Yuchen's face was not good, and his tone was very aggressive: "You just need to help me find out these things, as for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."
Tian Chen's face darkened, and his eyes drooped behind his glasses. He timidly replied, "Oh, I see."
-
studio.
Fang Li had just finished her interview when her phone dinged with a new message.
When she clicked on it, she saw that it was Tian Chen, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time.
Being an artist seemed like a thing of the past life. Although Tian Chen, the assistant, was given by Song Yuchen, he was dedicated to her and took good care of her.
She thought about it, took out Tian Chen's phone number and dialed it.
The busy tone lasted a few seconds before the call was connected: "Hello, Sister Fang Li?"
Tian Chen's voice, slightly surprised, came from the phone.
Fang Li stood up and stood in front of the French window and said, "It's me. What do you want from me?"
Tian Chen glanced at Song Yuchen, who was staring at him with a sinister look, then turned his back slightly unnaturally and said, "Nothing, I just heard you were in Beijing, and wanted to see what you've been busy with recently and whether you have time to have dinner together."
Fang Li was silent: "...No need to eat. I just opened a new studio and have been busy lately. I'll treat you when I'm done with this busy period and have the chance."
"Is that so? Then I...I won't bother you anymore."
Just as Tian Chen was about to hang up, he received two cold gazes. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sister Fang Li, I saw a rumor about you online some time ago. Are you really with that man...?"
Having said that, if Fang Li still couldn't hear something wrong, then all those years in the circle would have been in vain.
Her voice turned slightly colder: "Who told you to ask, Song Yuchen?"
Tian Chen suddenly fell silent.
Fang Li understood instantly: "What does he want to know? If he wants to know, why doesn't he ask me directly but instead ask you in a roundabout way, haha."
She sneered: "When did he become a gossipy woman hiding behind people's backs?"
Tian Chen looked at Song Yuchen beside him helplessly. Seeing that his face was gloomy and he was silent with his lips pursed, he quickly laughed dryly: "Sister Fang Li, you misunderstood. Brother Chen is still filming. It's not him, but you I want to ask."
"After all, we've worked together for so long, and since we're both in the capital, I thought I'd say hello."
"Yeah."
Fang Li didn't expose the truth, nor did she explain further. She said calmly, "I'll contact you when I'm free."
"good."
After the call was hung up, the warmth on Fang Li's face completely dissipated.
She exhaled and was about to turn around and sit down when Yu Tian's voice came from the door: "Is your ex-boyfriend bothering you again?"
Fang Li paused in pulling the chair, then sat down and said, "No, it was my former assistant."
Yu Tian leaned against the door and said, "Your brother told me to keep an eye on you, especially your ex-boyfriend. He is strictly prohibited from appearing within a 500-meter radius of you."
Fang Li chuckled: "Listen to my brother. He's the worst scumbag ever, yet he has the nerve to criticize others."
Thinking about the scene before coming here when the old man raised his cane and scolded Xu Fangye for not coming home all day, Yu Tian raised his lip and said, "Someone at the front desk wants to see you."
"Looking for me?"
Fang Li was surprised and stood up and walked out.
"Why are you here?"
The tall man turned around, dressed in a casual white shirt and pants, looking like he had just participated in a talent show, and was incredibly exquisite.
He raised his lip towards Fang Li and said, "I heard your studio is hiring, so of course I'm here for an interview."
Fang Li was speechless. "Mr. Lu, are you very free? I don't have anything fun to offer you."
"I'm certainly not here for fun."
Lu Jie, his hands in his pockets, took two steps towards Fang Li, stopping when they were only an arm's length apart. "I just came to ask why a woman who promised someone else went back on her word and hung up on me last night."
Fang Li: “….”
When he called her for no apparent reason at around nine o'clock last night, she was packing Han Xi's luggage. Han Xi was standing next to her. How could she answer the phone?
Besides, even if Han Xi wasn't there, she wouldn't take the call. She always tried to avoid troublemakers like him.
"I didn't hear it." Fang Li didn't tell the truth and just made up a lie.
Lu Jie looked at her quietly, his lips twitching slightly: "Has anyone ever told you that you are not good at lying?"
He suddenly raised his hand and flicked her eyelashes. "How could you come up with such an excuse when your eyes are moving so fast?"
