Unprepared for being exposed, Jiang Ci panicked for a moment, but then she thought, this was not a bad thing, and she could say it openly.

“I saw it yesterday, and this is the second time.” Avoiding Lu Xingxue’s sight, Jiang Ci said calmly.

Lu Xing‌xue: “Yesterday, was that when you watched a movie with Xiao Wen‌?”

Jiang Ci: “Yes.”

Lu Xingxue nodded lightly, without asking any more.

…Is that all? Jiang Ci faced the screen, sat upright, and glanced at Lu Xingxue quietly. Lu Xingue looked on as usual.

Okay, this is really fine. It’s just a normal second watch.

But the movie scenes received by the eyes are delayed and cannot be transmitted to the brain. Because of this episode, Jiang Ci, while appearing calm on the surface, underneath her emotions were surging. She began to peel the chocolate candies, and Lu Xingxue’s attention came again when she unpacked the sugar paper. Lu Xingxue looked down, thinking that she wanted to eat too, Jiang Ci simply handed her the chocolate candy that had been taken apart.

“No.” Lu Xingxue retracted her eyes. In the movie, the cold dagger cut through the soldier’s throat, and the blood surged.

Lu Xingxue: “…”

Jiang Ci was stuffing chocolate candy into her mouth, so she hadn’t had time to warn her.

Lu Xingxue supported herself, lashes trembling. After silently enduring for a moment, she said to Jiang Ci: “I’ll wait outside for you.”

“Don’t you want to watch it?” Jiang Ci put away the remaining chocolate candies: “…Then I will go with you.”

‌Lu Xingxue: “Don’t worry, you can come out after watching it.”

Jiang Ci: “I’ve seen it all, I don’t need to see it.”

Lu Xingxue was getting up, and turned her head to the side.

Jiang Ci’s head is empty.

This film is worth the second brush, I’ve seen it all, and it’s okay if you don’t watch it…

Lu Xingxue was getting up, and turned her head to the side.

These are all contradictory remarks. Is the starting point for her to watch the movie to be with Lu Xingxue? Lu Xingxue invited her to come, and Lu Xingxue left without looking at her?

Lest Lu Xingxue think strangely of her, Jiang Ci first explained: “My intention is that I don’t want to waste your time. There will be more than an hour before it ends.”

Lu Xingxue didn’t know what to think after listening to it, but just smiled: “Let’s go together then.”

The two drove away from the mall, and the street lights were intertwined with neon lights. The wind was blowing, and the yellow sycamore leaves rose up. Jiang Ci was still embarrassed and wanted to lower the window, but as she lowered the slit, the cold wind swizzled in. She hurriedly closed the window.

Lu Xingxue turned on the air conditioner: “The temperature has cooled down, and it may snow after some time.”

“Really?” Jiang Ci checked the weather for the next few days on her mobile phone ‌, and she saw the snowing icon. City G has a warm climate, and it rarely snows in winter, even if it does, the amount of snow is small. This year, it will be snowing a long time ago, and Jiang Ci is quite interested: “I don’t know if it will actually fall.”

Lu Xingxue: “Maybe.”

The inside of the car is warm and quiet, and the head wind becomes more and more bleak. Indus leaf wiped the front windshield and floated by, Lu Xingxue said: “That was Huo Zhenzhen’s previous partner in the elevator before?”

Jiang Ci: “Yes, his name is Gu Xiaowei.”

Gu Xiaowei and Huo Zhenzhen have been in love for two years. Jiang Ci realized that not only did she not introduce Lu Xingxue to him, but she did not even mention him in front of Lu Xingxue.

Of course, looking at it now, Gu Xiaowei is not worthy of her.

Lu Xingxue: “He is very concerned about Huo Zhenzhen.”

Lu Xingxue didn’t understand the inside story, Jiang Ci put down her phone: “He cheated when he was dating Zhenzhen and the other party became pregnant. Zhenzhen broke up with him. He now has a wife, and will soon be a father.”

Just thinking about it, Jiang Ci was angry for Huo Zhenzhen, and puffed her cheeks: “If he cares about Zhenzhen, he wouldn’t cheat. It doesn’t count if he cheats, but he is wronged when she has a new partner.”

At this time, ‌to the left‌, Lu Xingxue turned the steering wheel and stroked the head of the fierce kitten sticker with her fingers.

When she was about to get home, Jiang Ci’s mobile phone‌ received an alert. Huo Zhenzhen had sent a screenshot of the list of real-time hot searches on Weibo.

[Huo Zhenzhen: Take a look.]

Jiang Ci clicked on the screenshot, and two topics that were highlighted in circles came into view:

[Four Seasons Senior Yang Shu was exposed and detained for molesting young children]

[24 Hour Rescue]

Jiang Ci, who was still sitting loosely in the previous second, sat upright and switched to Weibo. Four Seasons executives, still surnamed Yang, was either Mrs. Wen’s eldest brother or her younger brother.

Sure enough, in the comments, Yang’s name, Yang Shu, Mrs. Wen’s eldest brother was exposed.

Lu Xingxue saw Jiang Ci’s expression suddenly turn stern, and asked her: “What happened?”

Jiang Ci: “Yang Shu of Four Seasons was exposed and detained.”

After marrying Jiang Ci, Lu Xingxue had heard about the Four Seasons, and knew about Yang Shu: “Exposed for what?”

Jiang Ci had roughly understood the whole story, and her anger was beyond words: “Molestation of young children.”

Lu Xingxue was also very disgusted, and her eyebrows tightened.

Jiang Ci remembered that Wen Nian said that the company had an accident while watching the movie yesterday. Is this what she meant?

Huo Zhenzhen’s messages filled the screen: “Four Seasons, I almost vomited the overnight meal. You were with Wen Nian yesterday. Did she tell you in advance?”

Jiang Ci clicked in and went back to her: “No .”

[Huo Zhenzhen: ‌She is still on vacation, and it’s normal if she doesn’t know.]

Jiang Ci had no intention of guessing Wen Nian’s thoughts. Wen Nian didn’t mention it, at least it proved that she was not the one who could discuss this kind of thing with her, so she didn’t need to take the initiative to bring it up to her.

They got home and the car stopped, Jiang Ci fumbled to release the safety buckle: “…Lu Xingxue, you said Yang Shu was exposed for this kind of incident, will it affect Four Seasons?”

Lu Xingxue: “It should… Although it is his personal business, the focus of Four Seasons lies in the daily use, and his reputation is very high. However, Yang Shu is surnamed Yang after all, and the ruler of Four Seasons is still the Wen Family.”

Lu Xingxue stopped slightly, and then said: “As for the company, this may be an opportunity for Xiao Wen in general.”

Jiang Ci finally loosened the safety buckle and got out of the car by pushing the door first. Lu Xingxue was still in the driving position. At this time, she glanced at Jiang Ci across the car door.

Huo Zhenzhen’s phone call came, and Jiang Ci answered her call with her collar closed.

“Why is there no sound? Did you read the following topic?” Huo Zhenzhen didn’t say anything, and asked about it.

Jiang Ci: “I didn’t see it.”

She waited until Lu Xingxue got out of the car and walked to the house with her.

Huo Zhenzhen made a strange voice: “Oh~ Why are you waiting? What are you going to watch?”

Jiang Ci said as she walked: “I’m just getting home, wait a while…. Is that the sniper in the movie?”

“Heh.” Huo Zhenzhen simply hung up the phone neatly.

“Huh?” Jiang Ci was baffled by her ‘huh’, re-entered Weibo, and when it was refreshed, the topic of ‘24 Hour Rescue’ had risen a few more places.

[@Winter’s Lemon Essence: #24HourRescue# Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, President Lu Xingxue and her wife! I, I see you! I have a sense of seeing each other! Knocked me into a coma TOT [Eighteenth-Grade Picture]]

“!” Jiang Ci stepped flat in the air, staggering forward.

Lu Xingxue walked behind her, and hurriedly reached out to catch her: “Have you forgotten to use your feet?”

“I’m fine,” Jiang Ci just stared at the phone in disbelief: “…Lu Xingxue, look at this.”

Lu Xingxue took the phone from Jiang Ci’s hand‌.

The scenes of interaction between the two in the theater, whether she gave Jiang Ci chocolate candies or Jiang Ci blindfolded her, were all recorded by lens.

The movie was very hot right now, the post was flooded with comments, and the message was originally not eye-catching. But the actress who participated in the show somehow saw it and gave it a thumbs-up.

This actress named Xu Lai made her debut in the draft. She had a beautiful appearance and worrisome acting skills. She had been controversial because of her role in ‘24 Hours Rescue’, a film where the actors were typically of a higher standard. Her praise immediately made this post soar.

Ten minutes later, for some reason, Xu Lai canceled the like, but because of her previous actions, people in the fashion circle who saw this Weibo and Lu Xingxue have reposted it. Some familiar people even ridiculed the trend: “Mrs. Lu! I’m sugar too!”

The hot search exploded directly.

……

‌Lu Xingxue looked at Jiang Ci, and the sudden exposure still appeared in public view in this way. Jiang Ci was red from cheeks to ear tips.

……

“She said she was sorry, and asked me to calm down first. At that time, the theater was all Forest employees. She would find the person who posted it and let the other party remove the message, and the next was—”

“Heaven!” Huo Zhenzhen interrupted Jiang Ci super loudly: “Lu Xingxue’s people are so nice too! Everything starts from your point of view and only considers your feelings. Why is there such a gentle person!?”

Jiang Ci was stupefied by her, and she retorted slowly, “It’s not just for me, she was also photographed herself.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “Isn’t she being photographed very often? She’s used to it. As far as the photos on her birthday were released, I have seen hundreds of social accounts that use those photos as their avatars.”

Jiang Ci: “…”

According to Huo Zhenzhen’s rationale: “This is nothing to Lu Xingxue herself, she doesn’t bother to care about it; for Forest, it’s just a public relations meeting without paying for it. Do you think she’s not doing it all for you?”

Jiang Ci continues: “…”

“And you, you rejected me yesterday, saying you can’t watch this movie again in a short time. Probably because Lu Xingxue can give you a sense of security, didn’t you want to accompany her today? Watch it together?… Maybe your ‘short-term’ means 24 hours.” Huo Zhenzhen sighed deliberately when she started talking about this. When she talked about it, she couldn’t hold herself back and laughed back and forth.

As she was teased by Huo Zhenzhen, Jiang Ci’s impetuous feeling rose again, and she exhaled: “You are annoying.”

Huo Zhenzhen still smiled: “But that Weibo is really deleted? Actually, it was taken very well. You two looked like a good match, so it’s a shame that you deleted it.”

Jiang Ci: “Too lazy to care about you.”

The night is getting darker, and the wind on the window ‌ never stops. Jiang Ci hung up the phone and went to the shower to take a bath. After wiping her hair, she picked up the phone.

[Ah ah ah, ah, ah!]

[Idol script drama, what are these two people? Are they fairies?]

[So sweet! Her eyes are all love!]

[It’s okay. If I were the president of Forest, I had good looks, regardless of men and women, I would definitely look for someone a hundred times more beautiful than her current wife.]

Jiang Ci approached the screen and read this comment verbatim again, a hundred times more beautiful? This is probably quite difficult.

Second, Jiang Ci can get up later. It was only when she was browsing her mobile phone during traffic hours that she saw the news that Wen Nian posted on her social account ‌this morning.

The background of the photo was in the office, sunlight flooding in from the transparent glass windows. Wen Nian had put on make-up, holding a large bouquet of blooming flowers, and bathing in the sun.

Because of the miscarriage, the general manager of the two Wen family cooperation projects was changed to Yang Shu from Wen Nian. Now that Yang Shu has been arrested, the vacancy he left in the company must be taken over. Lu Xingxue said that this is good for Wen Nian. For her, it might be an opportunity, but Wen Nian didn’t know it. There are no words, she uses this way to let everyone know that she has returned to the company.
