Wen Nian couldn’t tolerate it any longer. She didn’t care that Jiang Chun was beside her; she pinched Shen Jun’s waist.
Shen Jun, without changing his expression, grabbed her tiny hand and playfully remarked, “You’re a beautiful daughter-in-law. Won’t you still have to meet your in-laws someday?”
“Shameless! Who’s your wife?” Wen Nian tugged at her hand forcefully, but Shen Jun stubbornly held on.
Seeing the couple display their affection in front of her, Jiang Chun, though she believed she could endure it, found the scene unbearable. She dejectedly returned to her seat.
And so, the plane eventually touched down in the capital. To Wen Nian’s surprise, Xu Chang had come to pick her up personally.
Observing passersby taking photos and noticing that Xu Chang had only brought an assistant, Wen Nian felt a sense of dread. “Director Xu, why did you come here in person?”
“Because I appreciate you?” Xu Chang rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
He hadn’t expected Wen Nian to arrive so swiftly, and he felt it necessary to welcome her personally. He harbored a genuine fear that Wen Nian might change her mind again.
As the crowd around them grew, Wen Nian hastily pulled her jacket’s hood over her head and briskly wheeled her suitcase to join Xu Chang.
The small group jogged their way to the waiting car, drawing the attention of many onlookers who recognized Wen Nian and Xu Chang.
“Is that Wen Nian?”
“That man is Xu Chang, right? The famous director!”
“Xu Chang personally picking up Wen Nian? Must be a big movie!”
“I’ve never heard of it, and it’s almost the new year,” remarked one passerby.
“I’m so jealous of Wen Nian. She’s still in high school, isn’t she? I heard that the movie made over three billion yuan at the box office.”
“If she had gone straight into the entertainment industry, she’d probably be an A-lister by now, don’t you think?”
As the surrounding people continued their discussions, Jiang Chun’s resentful gaze remained fixed on the spot where Wen Nian and Shen Jun had disappeared from view.
The idea of Wen Nian filming another public service advertisement left Jiang Chun feeling uneasy. She took out her phone, contemplated for a moment, and then decided to call Jiang Ning.
She took out her phone and thought for a moment before calling Jiang Ning.
“Jiang Ning, guess who 1 just saw? Director Xu Chang came to pick up Wen Nian,” Jiang Chun exclaimed.
“Really? I heard she’s in town for filming. Maybe it’s a major production?” Jiang Ning speculated.
“Remember when you mentioned that Huang Yue is also filming in the capital? If it weren’t for that misunderstanding back then, they might have reconciled by now. They could have supported each other in the entertainment industry, just like Wen Nian is doing so well. She’s practically an A-lister now, right? 1 heard Huang Yue hasn’t been getting many offers lately,” Jiang Chun mused.
Jiang Chun said, “My family’s car is here to pick me up. We will catch up later.”
After ending the call with Jiang Ning and hearing her exasperated tone, Jiang Chun began to feel a bit more at ease.
Since her family had forbidden her from taking action, there was little she could do if Wen Nian’s former adversary decided to act independently.
One of Jiang Chun’s strengths lay in her ability to astutely assess the actions of those around her, especially individuals like Jiang Ning and Wei Lai.
As expected, Jiang Ning didn’t disappoint her. He promptly informed Huang Yue about Wen Nian’s trip to the capital for filming.
“What? She’s collaborating with Director Xu again? How come 1 didn’t know about this?” Huang Yue’s tone changed upon hearing the news.
Jiang Ning also said indignantly, “You’re far more beautiful than her, not to mention you’re a member of the Huang family. You should be getting better opportunities than her. Why does she effortlessly secure such good resources? The entertainment industry can be quite murky. I wonder if there’s something more to Director Xu picking her up personally.”
Huang Yue intended to further inquire about the situation, but just then, the man who had been in the bathroom emerged.
“Yue Yue, why don’t you go ahead and take a shower? Or would you prefer to shower later?”
The heavyset man had already settled on top of Huang Yue when she abruptly hung up the phone, fearing that Jiang Ning might overhear something.
“Why? Are you talking to some pretty boy on the phone? Are you afraid that 1’11 hear you?” The man snatched the phone unhappily.
Huang Yue offered a sweet, apologetic smile and playfully wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. “Director Wu, in my heart, there’s no one but you.”
She gently guided the man’s hand to her chest and then tilted her head, flashing a seductive grin. “You’re the only one who matters.”
Director Wu let out a lewd chuckle and began to inappropriately fondle her chest until Huang Yue winced in pain. Only then did he finally release his grip.
Huang Yue suppressed her disgust and continued, “My friend called me just now. She mentioned that Wen Nian and Director Xu are collaborating again, and they’ve already met in the capital today. We used to be close friends, Wen Nian and 1, but misunderstandings got in the way, you know? It’s a shame…” “Wen Nian?” Director Wu’s eyes suddenly sparkled with interest.. “The lead actress from Xu Chang’s hit movie? She’s in the capital? When did she arrive?”
