As soon as Wen Yan opened her eyes, she saw an enlarged handsome face that was unique in heaven and earth.
She nodded: "Yes, I heard from Mrs. Zhang that you have been coming back every night recently. I just happened to have something to do with you, so I just waited in the living room. Who knew that I had to squint for two nights before you came back. It should be very late now." Is it too late?"
As she spoke, Wen Yan touched her cell phone everywhere.
"Here." Shen Jingxiu chuckled and reached out to pick up Wen Yan's cell phone that fell on the carpet.
Wen Yan took the phone and looked at it, her eyes widened.
"Okay, it's already past 12 o'clock now. Brother, it seems like today is not Friday. Tomorrow is a working day. If you work so late, don't you have to go to work the next day?"
Shen Jingxiu's eyebrows were stained with fatigue, but he never complained about work.
He calmly explained to Wen Yan: "We held a cross-country video conference. There is no way we can do it. There is a time difference between us and abroad."
"Alas!" Wen Yan sighed, "It seems that it's not easy to be the president. What about tomorrow? Are there any meetings? Will you work overtime?"
"What?" Hearing Wen Yan say this, Shen Jingxiu suddenly understood, "Has your filming ended this time?"
Wen Yan nodded: "Yes, we just finished today. Unless something unexpected happens, I will stay at home these days. If you don't work overtime tomorrow, come back early. I have something I want to talk to you about. It's very late today, I think you should go to bed early and I won’t disturb you."
The body and brain are a little sleepy, but if it's Wen Yan's matter, Shen Jingxiu can actually handle it now.
But since she's not in a hurry, it's not impossible to leave it until tomorrow.
"Okay, then you should go to bed early. I will be back early tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Wen Yan nodded, thought for a while and asked, "How early can it be? Why don't you just come back and have dinner with me. In such a big house and such a big dining table, sometimes you can eat alone It’s also quite helpless emotionally.”
"Okay. If something happens and I can't come back, I will tell you in advance."
"Perfect! Let's go upstairs."
As she spoke, Wen Yan sat up from the sofa.
Seeing how energetic she looked, Shen Jingxiu suddenly felt that he wasn't that sleepy anymore.
-
After finally resting, Wen Yan wanted to take a long nap, the kind that didn't even get up for lunch.
As a result, she was still woken up by the ringing of the phone at noon.
She didn't even open her eyes when she answered the phone: "Hello, hello, this is Wen Yan. Who are you and what do you want from me?"
When the other party heard Wen Yan's question, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end of the phone asked: "It's already one o'clock in the afternoon, haven't you gotten up yet? Have you not eaten breakfast or lunch?"
Hearing the other party's voice, Wen Yan knew that the call was from Shen Jingxiu.
"It turns out to be the eldest brother. Well, today I want to indulge for a day, and by the way, I can save my stomach for eating delicious food with you tonight. I told Mrs. Zhang yesterday that we will have a big meal together today."
Shen Jingxiu's chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
But his tone soon turned serious.
"Get up quickly and grab something to eat. I originally had a visit in the afternoon, but it was canceled temporarily due to the other party's reasons, so my time is free this afternoon."
Considering that Wen Yan is a person who doesn't like to stay at home, Shen Jingxiu even made a strategy before making this call.
"Didn't you say you had something to discuss with me last night? I'll pick you up when I get home and we'll find a quiet place to chat. The weather is nice today and it's still very warm outside."
Wen Yan's head was indeed a little sore after sleeping for too long, so it was a good choice to go out for a walk.
She sat up immediately: "Okay! But have you decided where to go? I'm afraid it won't be convenient in a crowded place."
Shen Jingxiu has already considered this: "I know. So let's go to Xinghu Park. I heard there is a good cafe there. Today is a working day again, so the privacy is quite good."
"Okay!" Wen Yan doesn't like to bother God. Since Shen Jingxiu has made arrangements, she just needs to help someone.
"But brother, you don't have to come back to pick me up. I just checked on the map on my phone and you're not on your way. I'll ask the driver to take me there."
"That's fine. Let's make an appointment at three o'clock. You can set off around two twenty."
"You have planned this for me! Brother, why are you so nice?!"
Is this good? Shen Jingxiu curled his lips slightly: "It's just a matter of taking one more look."
Since they were going to meet soon anyway, the two said nothing more.
Wen Yan asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for herself, then packed up and went out.
-
She and Shen Jingxiu both came early.
Shen Jingxiu was even ten minutes ahead of her.
After the two people reunited smoothly, they abandoned the car and walked.
Xinghu Park is a park around the lake. It is very large and has a quiet environment.
But Shen Jingxiu had already planned the route before coming.
Wen Yan didn't have to worry about anything, she just had to follow him. There would be water to drink when she was thirsty.
While walking, Wen Yan told Shen Jingxiu about Jiang Wanwan.
After hearing this, Shen Jingxiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "So you waited for me until twelve o'clock because of other people's matters. Do you two have a good relationship?"
"Yes, she is the first good friend of the same sex I have made after I kicked Qiao Kexin away! But I have no intention of asking you to help her. The Shen family, the Fu family, and even now she is added to the Jiang family I’m not too sure about the matter, it all depends on your own considerations, brother.”
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I understand. I have no friendship with her. Even if we cooperate, it is for your sake. Naturally, the interests of our Shen family come first."
"Yeah!" Wen Yan nodded and asked with a smile, "So what's your answer now, brother?"
Shen Jingxiu was about to speak, but Wen Yan's cell phone suddenly rang.
He changed his tune: "You answer the phone first."
"Okay," Wen Yan immediately took out her phone from her pocket. She glanced at the screen and found that it was an unfamiliar number.
However, she had often received calls from unknown numbers before, and the caller was probably a director or producer she had not interacted with before.
So Wen Yan did not slack off.
She answered the phone politely.
But as she listened, she frowned, and the frown became tighter and tighter.
Shen Jingxiu had no intention of snooping on Wen Yan's private phone call. He even stood aside while Wen Yan was talking on the phone.
But the change in expression on Wen Yan's face was too obvious.
She didn't speak at first, but later she obviously couldn't hold back her temper.
"Wen Chengcai, considering your age and saving my life, I called you uncle before. But you seem a bit outrageous, right? Didn't Shen Jingchuan just give you one hundred thousand yuan, and you actually gave him ten thousand yuan so quickly? Ten thousand yuan was spent.
"Also, do you think I'm deaf? I heard the people next to you talking about gambling, and you actually lied to me and said it was your mother who was sick and needed surgery.
"No matter how much you make excuses, you can't tell such lies about your mother. Stop calling me. I can't give you money."
Wen Yan was very angry, hung up the phone and blocked the number.
Shen Jingxiu had already gotten the general idea: "So that person is coming to you now to ask for money? Didn't Jingchuan say that he has deleted your number? You have also blocked him."
"Yes, I have indeed blocked him a long time ago. But it is obvious that this person is a liar. He deceived the fourth brother. He must have saved it somewhere else or recorded my number. He called me just now It's not the same number as before.
The most disgusting thing is that he actually thought I was a fool. I could hear people playing mahjong and other people shouting and gambling around him, but he actually told me that he was in the hospital at this moment! If he dares to change his number and call me in the future, I will block every one I see! "
Although Wen Yan was a little unhappy about Wen Chengcai's extortion of favors, she felt refreshed after blocking the person.
She turned around and continued the topic: "By the way, you haven't given me an answer yet, brother."
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I agree. I will ask my assistant to check my schedule later, and then I can make an appointment with your friend."
Shen Jingxiu is a busy man, and Wen Yan knows that his time is difficult to arrange.
Similarly, Jiang Wanwan's time may not be easy to arrange.
She should have many announcements next.
However, it was only completed in these two days, so she should also rest for a few days.
"I think it's better to choose a different date than to make another appointment. I'll ask her what she's doing now. If she's not busy, just send her the location and ask her to come find us. Do you agree, brother?"
"good."
Just do it, Wen Yan immediately contacted Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan happened to be free this afternoon, and an hour later she arrived at the cafe on the east bank of Xinghu Park.
At this time, Wen Yan and Shen Jingxiu happened to be walking to the cafe, and they quickly bumped into each other.
Shen Jingxiu said it right. This cafe located in Qingyou Park is indeed good.
Now that it is winter, they have opened a sunny glass room.
In this weather, it’s so comfortable to sit inside and drink coffee while it’s warm.
The key is that there are very few people today. Apart from the clerk, there are only three of them in this huge coffee shop.
What is more to Wen Yan's liking is that there are two cats and one dog outside the coffee shop. They are very close friends and they are willing to let Wen Yan pet them the first time they meet.
So, while Shen Jingxiu and Jiang Wanwan were talking about how to enjoy the cold weather indoors, Wen Yan was leisurely entertaining cats and dogs outside, having a great time.
But what she didn't know was that the clerk in the cafe was whispering about them in private.
"That man is so handsome, and he is so rich. In fact, there is not much business in our store on weekdays, but he actually paid such a high price to buy it. The boss is really happy today."
"I guess it was to make his girlfriend happy, but who knew he actually brought two girls here. Do they all agree to the date between the three of them?"
"I can't see. It's definitely not a date between boyfriend and girlfriend. It's probably here to talk about something. Didn't you see that one of them walked away and was playing with the dog outside. From this look, he looks like a loser. Heartless."
"Yeah, but I don't know what she looks like with the mask on, but she definitely looks like a beautiful woman. And the one inside, do you think she looks like a female star?"
"Jiang Wanwan, right?"
"Yes, I asked when I was delivering coffee just now, but she said she wasn't. So I'm not sure, maybe it's just that he looks similar. But that man is really handsome, I think he's more handsome than a male star. He's tall and weighs a lot. When will God send me a boyfriend like this? I don't need him to book a room for me, as long as he can drink coffee with me every day."
"Hahaha, go ahead and dream."
at the same time.
In a small town casino.
Wen Chengcai was pinned face down on the mahjong table with his hands cut behind his back by several vicious men.
"You old boy! What did you say when you borrowed the money? You agreed to pay it back today. Where is the money, eh?!"
Wen Chengcai's face was distorted by the pressure, and even his words were slurred.
"Let me try again, I will definitely get the money, and I will definitely return the money to you with interest."
"Try it! Your number has been blocked and you can't get through at all. It's obvious that others don't want to talk to you at all. I think you are bragging. You are the only one who has saved a big star! Look at how stupid you are. !”
"Really, I really didn't lie to you, and I didn't dare. I really saved her, otherwise where would I have gotten the 100,000 yuan to gamble. As long as you don't beat me, I will definitely get the money. I She holds a secret of hers. As long as I expose it, she will have to give me money. Don’t stars like them value face the most? Even if it is to continue to hang out in their circle in the future, she will Will choose to spend money to shut my mouth."
"What secret? Real or fake? Isn't this another excuse you made?"
"No, it's really not this time! Anyway, I can't do it alone. How about if we work together this time, we get 50% of the money we get? You won't lose anything at all."
"Yeah!" The other party nodded, "That's interesting. Let go of him and let me hear what valuable secret it is."
-
Wen Yan has four brothers in the Shen family.
Including Shen Jingxiu today, Jiang Wanwan has already seen three.
She found that every one of Wen Yan's brothers doted on her and treated her well.
Although each of them has a different personality, the look in their eyes when they look at Wen Yan is the same.
The eldest brother in front of him seemed to look at Wen Yan outside the glass wall more often than he intended.
And it was unintentional, I'm afraid even he himself didn't notice it.
But Jiang Wanwan didn't talk much.
She also looked at Wen Yan several times during the conversation.
That guy seems to be especially attracted to small animals, and the prop rabbit that was filming on the set also enjoyed being petted by her.
It is said that kind people are more popular with small animals. It seems that this has been fulfilled in Wen Yan.
Wen Yan was getting a little bored playing with cats and dogs.
Just at this time, her phone rang again.
Just like before, it was still a series of unfamiliar numbers.
This time she didn't say anything after the call was connected, but waited for the other party to speak first.
Sure enough, it was Wen Chengcai's voice again.
Wen Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, put down her phone and was about to hang up and block him.
But Wen Chengcai obviously anticipated her move.
The first sentence he spoke was a critical blow.
"Don't worry, don't you want to know who your real father is?"
