Lu Qinshang pretended not to hear her and suddenly asked, “You have that girl’s phone number, right?”
Sister Chan was stunned. “Who?”
“It’s the girl who put on makeup for Ren Guangxi. She used to put on makeup for me too.”
“Suisui?” Sister Chan reacted. “I have her cell phone number. What’s wrong?” “Give it to me.” Lu Qinshang asked for it without another word.
As Sister Chan took out her cell phone to look for Suisui’s number, she looked at him disdainfully. “Why are you asking for Suisui’s cell phone?”
“I have business with her. Don’t worry about it!” Lu Qinshang said proudly.
“I’m warning you. Although you’re the boss of the company now, you have many endorsements on you. Some of them clearly state that you’re not allowed to fall in love!” Sister Chan handed the phone to him. As a manager, she couldn’t forget to remind him not to get involved in scandals!
Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes at her. “Just take care of Ren Guangxi. I know what to do.”
He took out his phone and recorded Yan Sui’s cell phone number.
Sister Chan: “By the way, Director Zheng wants to ask you to film a movie recently. I saw that the script is not bad. I’ll send it to you later to take a look. If it’s fine, we’ll take it. This is also a good opportunity for you to switch from the small screens to the big screens.”
Lu Qinshang listened absentmindedly. “Got it. I’ll go back and take a look.”
When Sister Chan saw his unmotivated appearance, she wished she could smack his head. He did not have the self-awareness of a celebrity just because his family was rich.
No, she still had to bring two more artists along. She could not count on this pig.
Lu Qinshang called Suisui, but no one picked up. He then added her on
WeChat…
Very good, it did not pass the verification!
Lu Qinshang threw his phone on the desk angrily. “What is the meaning of this? You don’t recognize me after having fun?”
After a moment, he wondered worriedly, “Could she be very badly hurt?”
However, he did not know where she lived. He did not know where to look for her.
Lin Qingqian did not mind at all that Jiang Yunshen was moving into Begonia Courtyard for a few days.
She knew that Jiang Yanshen was worried that Jiang Yunshen would live alone in the Jiang Residence or go to Jiang Chongjing’s house. If he often thought of the past, he might be depressed.
After moving into Begonia Courtyard, at least there would still be people whom he could talk to after work every day. He would forget those unhappy things faster.
Seeing that she didn’t mind, Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curved. “Thank you, Madam Jiang. ”
Lin Qingqian curved her lips and only smiled without saying anything.
Jiang Yunshen couldn’t help but roll his eyes. ‘Why do I feel that you asked me to move over to eat dog food?”
Jiang Yanshen put down his coffee cup and said calmly, “You’re not young anymore. You can consider starting a family.”
“I’m only 23 years old. Besides, aren’t you still single at the age of 23?” Jiang Yunshen retorted indignantly.
Jiang Yanshen: “Someone chased after me when I was 23 years old. Do you have
Lin Qingqian:
Can you not use me as an example to educate your brother?
Jiang Yunshen: “I have someone chasing me. Sister-in-law saw it last time. I’m a handsome man in Lan City after all!” Lin Qingqian: “Then have you married her?”
Jiang Yunshen: “…”
Damn it! The husband and wife teamed up to bully me!
“I’m not eating anymore. I’m going to work!” Jiang Yunshen threw his cutlery and stood up to leave.
Jiang Yanshen did not mind his temper and continued drinking his coffee.
Lin Qingqian turned to look at him. “You’re not allowed to say that I chased after you in the future.”
Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly. ‘Why?”
“At that time, I was laughed at by them for a long time. Everyone said that I overestimated myself.” Recalling that memory was simply a dark history. “Who laughed at you? I’ll deal with them.”
Clearly, he did not know about these things, and he did not think that this was a stain on her reputation. At that time, she was like a sheep that had accidentally entered the forest. She was not afraid even when she encountered lions. Her courage was commendable.
“Forget it, it’s all in the past.”
Today was the day of Chairman Liang’s burial. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen were both dressed in black to send Chairman Liang off for the last time.
Madam Liang had visibly lost weight, but her expression didn’t show much. She could even smile when she talked to others.
Lin Qingqian knew that she was pretending to be strong. How could she not be sad when her husband, who had accompanied her for decades, left? How could she be fine?
She just didn’t want her family to worry.
After Chairman Liang was buried, Madam Liang was about to set off for Yu Mountain. Originally, President Liang and his wife were against it. After all, she was old and they were worried about letting her go so far alone.
Later on, it was only when Liang Lan volunteered to accompany her that President Liang reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Before Madam Liang got into the car, she looked at Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen’s hands, her ancient eyes revealing a hint of relief.
Lin Qingqian’s lips curled up slightly as she nodded slightly to reassure her.
On the way back to the company, Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw a long line on the horizon outside the car window, like a small tail left behind by a plane.
Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her head. “What are you thinking about?” Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at him. “I’m thinking if I can be as strong as Madam Liang in a few decades.”
Jiang Yanshen wrapped his long arm around her shoulder and said in a low and seductive voice, “We still have many years. We’ll think about these things in the future. ”
Lin Qingqian smiled and leaned into his arms obediently. “Alright.”
The car stopped by the road in front of the company. Lin Qingqian bade him farewell. As soon as she got out of the car, a group of reporters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.
As they kept taking photos of her, someone raised the microphone and asked,
“Are the rumors online true, President Lin?”
“President Lin, you’ve always created an image of a strong woman for everyone, but don’t you think you’re lying to the public?”
“President Lin, do you hate those people?”
Lin Qingqian looked confused, but when she heard those words, her face gradually lost color, and her fingers slowly clenched into fists.
Seeing this, Jiang Yanshen got out of the car without hesitation. He wrapped his long arm around Lin Qingqian’s shoulder and led her into the company in a protective manner.
Chen Mu and the chauffeur also came out to stop the reporters chasing after them.
The reporters followed relentlessly. Someone even asked Jiang Yanshen fearlessly, “Director Jiang, do you know about President Lin?”
“I heard that President Lin moved into the Jiang family at the age of 18. Then why are you indifferent to her matter?”
Jiang Yanshen escorted Lin Qingqian into the company. After hearing the reporter’s words, his eyebrows suddenly tightened. He turned around, his black eyes as sharp as knives, and his thin lips squeezed out two cold words. “Get lost.”
Han Liubai, Su Ying, and the others also came out when they heard the news and helped stop the reporters from breaking into the company.
Jiang Yanshen helped Lin Qingqian sit on the sofa in the office. His warm palm held her cold hand tightly and he comforted her in a low and hoarse voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Lin Qingqian’s curly and thick eyelashes trembled. She looked at him slowly and shook her head with minimal movements. “I’m fine.”
She reached out to take the cell phone. Jiang Yanshen realized what she wanted to do and held her hand with a firm gaze. Don’t look!
Lin Qingqian pulled her hand out of his palm and secretly took a deep breath. “I’m fine. How will I know how to deal with it if I don’t look?”
“Leave it to me,” Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice.
“This matter is directed at me. If you make a move, you’ll only let others use this matter to say that I’m establishing the image of an independent woman. In the end, it’ll be even worse.”
Although Lin Qingqian’s mind was in a daze before she came in, she had already calmed down and quickly understood the implications.
Now, it had become a topic of social attention, and she was the victim. No matter what, she should not become the target of the netizens.
However, if she did not handle it well, she would easily be criticized. Although there was no actual harm, it was true that it would cause her trouble.
Jiang Yan looked at her with his deep eyes. His low voice seemed to be muttering to himself, “I shouldn’t have agreed to the divorce back then, let alone let you work in a studio.”
If she had always been Madam Jiang, she wouldn’t have had to face so much deception and schemes behind his back.
“Don’t be like this.” Lin Qingqian’s eyes were firm as she said softly, “I don’t regret divorcing you, nor do I regret setting up Shi Guang Studio. This is the life I chose. No matter how many difficulties I encounter, I won’t retreat, let alone regret it.”
Jiang Yanshen knew that as long as she wanted to do something, she would definitely do it. Perhaps this was also part of the reason why she attracted his attention back then.
His warm palm landed on the back of her head. When she pressed her head down, he raised her head and kissed her forehead tenderly.
“I’ll get Lu Yuan to investigate. You deal with the rest yourself. If you can’t resolve it, tell me.”
His warm fingertips gently caressed her cheek, his eyes burning. “Even if the sky falls, I’ll help you hold it up.”
Lin Qingqian’s lips curved. “I understand. Go back to work.”
Jiang Yanshen held her hand reluctantly and finally stood up to walk out of the office.
Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at his back view as he left, and the light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit.
The video exposed on the Internet was not very clear, but one could vaguely see her facial features.
At that time, she had just arrived in Lan City. When she went to the toilet, she was blocked by a few girls.
They took photos of her with their phones. As they took photos, they sneered at the shabby clothes she was wearing. She did not have any branded clothes on her and they splashed paint on her.
Yu Mountain was a simple place. Although there were not many students in the school there, everyone was very harmonious. Such a thing had never happened before.
She was sad, angry, and wanted to resist, but she was afraid of causing trouble for Grandma Jiang, so she had always endured and never resisted.
Seeing that she couldn’t resist, those people became even worse, especially after her results and design drafts were exposed. She suffered more and more bullying.
Because before she came, the top student was Ming Xiao. She came from a remote village and stole the limelight from the daughter of the Ming Corporation. Naturally, her life would not be easy.
Although that memory did not leave a shadow in her heart, it was definitely not a memory she wanted to recall.
Now that she was exposed in the eyes of the public, be it the scoffing or sympathies, it was like a knife cutting down. The only difference was the extent of the wound’s deepness.
Han Liubai walked in with a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to her. “Stop looking..”
