Chapter 2055: Chapter 2054: Scheming Mind
Jing Xiaocha came out of Jin Yunchang’s office and bumped into Zheng Shirui.
Zheng Shirui, in her ten-inch high heels, looked down at Jing Xiaocha like a queen, saying disdainfully, “Trying to steal my man, Jing Xiaocha? You’re still too naive.”
“If you’re sick, go to the hospital.”
Jing Xiaocha was in a very bad mood and was extremely disgusted with Zheng Shirui standing in front of her.
Saying that coldly, she lifted her foot to leave.
Zheng Shirui, however, exploded in anger, reaching out to grab Jing Xiaocha’s hair, “Jing Xiaocha, how dare you insult me?”
But this time, Jing Xiaocha was on guard and sidestepped, causing Zheng Shirui to lunge into thin air and lose her balance.
She stumbled forward a few steps and eventually, because her ten-inch heels were too thin, she fell embarrassingly to the ground.
The sound of the heavy fall echoed through the silent corridor, accompanied by her low cries of pain.
Jing Xiaocha furrowed her brow, ignoring the barking and biting Zheng Shirui behind her, and left quickly.
Since Little Hui went to Wen Ran’s Home and went straight to school in the afternoon with Ziyi and the others, Jing Xiaocha, back at home, was too lazy to make lunch, so she just made some instant noodles.
Sitting on the sofa, staring at the noodles in front of her, Jing Xiaocha’s mind echoed with what Jin Yunchang said earlier, and her lips tightened unconsciously.
Her heart grew increasingly restless.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Jing Xiaocha got up to the door, looked out through the peephole, and saw it was Shi Tian, with whom she had a blind date a few days ago, standing outside.
Jing Xiaocha frowned, remembering that Shi Tian had called when she was in Jin Yunchang’s office.
She had hung up on him then.
On the way back, it seemed Shi Tian called again, but Jing Xiaocha, in a bad mood, didn’t answer.
Looking now at the man outside, Jing Xiaocha was unwilling to open the door.
She didn’t know how Shi Tian found her home.
She was sure she hadn’t told Shi Tian during their blind date that she lived here.
Even if Shi Tian was smart enough to figure out she lived in this community, he shouldn’t know the apartment number.
The only possibility was that Ou Yihan told him.
She was daydreaming when the phone on the sofa buzzed again.
Jing Xiaocha painfully rubbed her forehead, returned to pick up the phone, and answered it.
“Xiaocha, I’m at your door, let me in.”
“Mr. Shi, I’m sorry, I don’t have the habit of letting strangers into my home.”
Jing Xiaocha’s tone wasn’t good, even faintly conveying a sense of annoyance.
She believed Shi Tian on the other end should understand.
Unfortunately, Shi Tian not only didn’t understand but also laughed, “Xiaocha, we’ve met twice, we’re not strangers but friends! Plus, I gave such a detailed self-introduction that day, you have nothing to fear from me.”
“How did you find my home?”
There was a two-second silence on the phone, then Shi Tian’s voice came, “I asked Yi Han. She was reluctant at first, but after I said a lot of nice things, she told me you live here. Xiaocha, I’m carrying a lot of stuff, open the door for me.”
“Go back, I won’t open the door for you.”
Jing Xiaocha finished speaking and didn’t care what else Shi Tian might say, she directly hung up the phone.
After a moment of quiet, Shi Tian’s voice came through the door, “Xiaocha, I’ve left the stuff at your door.”
Jing Xiaocha didn’t respond or move, she opened the lid of the instant noodles and added the seasoning.
Soon, the entire room was filled with the smell of instant noodles,
She had just taken a bite when her phone rang again, this time it was Wen Jin calling.
Since the day Little Hui registered, and after she and Wen Jin parted on bad terms, Wen Jin hadn’t called her again.
Wasn’t he vacationing with Ou Yihan outside right now?
Why was he calling her?
Jing Xiaocha glanced at it and then tossed the phone back onto the sofa, continuing to eat her noodles.
Meanwhile, in a hotel in some tourist area.
Wen Jin was standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure overlooking the sparkling sea and the happily playing beachgoers.
But he frowned slightly due to his unanswered call.
Just ten minutes ago, Wen Jin received a call from Fan Lu.
She said that the lead role for Jing Xiaocha’s new drama had been decided, and the leading lady would be Jin Zheyu’s girlfriend, Zheng Shirui, a decision made by Jin Yunchang.
Jing Xiaocha opposed it, but Jin Yunchang insisted on using Zheng Shirui, so Xiaocha was in a bad mood.
After receiving Fan Lu’s call, Wen Jin used the room’s computer to search online, finding no news, so he called Jing Xiaocha.
Unanswered call ensued.
Wen Jin couldn’t help worrying, assuming Fan Lu’s words were true, Jin Yunchang might have decided on Zheng Shirui for the leading role but hadn’t announced it yet.
There’s still room for negotiation.
Or perhaps Jin Yunchang was using this to make things difficult for Xiaocha, or something happened while he was away from G City for a few days.
Thinking of this, Wen Jin became even more unsettled.
A knock sounded at the door; it was Ou Yihan.
Wen Jin opened the door to see Ou Yihan smiling at him, “Wen Jin, let’s go to the beach, those people are having so much fun.”
“You go ahead, I’ll pass.”
Wen Jin shook his head with a polite smile.
Ou Yihan’s smile faded a bit as she scrutinized him, “Why not come? You were so good at surfing yesterday, I wanted to see you again.”
“I have some things to deal with, you go ahead.”
“Is there something wrong at the medicine factory?”
Concern fully replaced the smile on Ou Yihan’s face; she knew even though Wen Jin scheduled a vacation, it’s different for him.
Even if he’s on holiday, he still has to handle matters at the medicine factory.
Wen Jin gave a faint smile, not confirming or denying.
Ou Yihan, assuming it involved something confidential, didn’t ask further questions.
She just said regrettably, “Okay, since you’re not going, I’ll play by myself for a bit; you can find me after you’re done.”
“Mhm.”
Wen Jin agreed softly.
After Ou Yihan turned and left, he closed the door, returned to the view at the window, thought for a moment, and dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.
The phone rang twice before Mo Xiuchen’s voice came, “Hey, Ah Jin.”
“Are you with Ranran?”
“Are you looking for me or Ranran?”
Mo Xiuchen teased over the phone, “How’s your vacation with Ou Yihan going, anything developing quickly…”
“Stop being so conniving.”
Wen Jin cursed lightly, returning to the topic, “I heard that the female lead for Xiaocha’s work was internally decided by Jin Yunchang, namely his future daughter-in-law; Xiaocha is in a bad mood because of this. Let Ranran find out if it’s true.”
For a moment, it was quiet over the phone.
When Mo Xiuchen’s voice came again, it held a hint of laughter, “Ah Jin, I’m not getting involved in Jing Xiaocha’s matters. If it’s true, even Ranran can’t help, if you want to help, come back yourself.”
