Chapter 343 - 343 You’re Free

343 You’re Free

Three minutes later, Fu Xiaofeng called him.

He was a very cautious person. He was afraid that his text messages would be seen and leaked.

After the voice call was connected, Fu Xiaofeng listed four names, and the last was Su Ji.

After saying that, he said, “let’s just keep it to ourselves. The production team hasn’t made an official announcement yet, so don’t tell anyone.”

Si Jingchuan didn’t reply to him first. Instead, he said to Su Ji, “damn, boss, it’s the four of them?”

Fu Xiaofeng: “…”

Mrs. CEO was there too?

What he didn’t know was that Si Jingchuan had turned on the speaker when he carefully mentioned the names of those people.

“Ms. Su, you must…”

Before he could finish, Xu Ni said, “is Nan Miaomiao the one who participated in ‘Hello, Sunday’ with you last time? I think she’s just average!”

“….”

Fu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded!

Just how many people are there?!

“Alright, bye,” Si Jingchuan had no intention of explaining anything to Fu Xiaofeng. After he hung up, he started discussing it with his boss and the little cutie.

The four people that Fu Xiaofeng had just mentioned, other than Nan Miaomiao, were Sonya, Ji Xi, and the last one was a veteran actor, Jiang Cuiqin.

With Ji Xi and Jiang Cuiqin, the two movie queens around, no one paid attention to Sonya.

Xu Ni said, “Ji Xi is going too? She’s super beautiful!”

She was so excited that she wanted to smoke. Su Ji and Si Jingchuan didn’t mind, but they were afraid that Xu Mingzhi would smell the smoke when she came back. The three of them moved from the sofa area to the balcony.

The balcony window opened, and Xu Ni lit a cigarette. She looked at Su Ji with longing eyes. “She said that she liked you on Weibo last time, right?”

“I think so,” Su Ji replied.

Xu Ni replied, “what do you mean you think so? Didn’t you reply to her?”

“Pei Xi helped me reply,” Su Ji replied.

“Oh.”

Si Jingchuan cast a suspicious glance at Xu Ni with his long and narrow eyes. “Why are you so agitated? Do you like her?”

“No man doesn’t like Ji Xi, okay?” Xu Ni said.

She didn’t usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but she did know the female celebrities who were participating in the variety show with Su Ji.

Especially Ji Xi, who was definitely the top one goddess in her middle school!

However, as soon as she said that, the three of them fell silent for a moment, and Xu Ni also realized that something was wrong.

She was still not used to being a girl.

Su Ji smiled. “She is indeed beautiful.”

Su Ji asked about the other person, “Jiang Cuiqin…do you guys know her?”

Xu Ni was obviously surprised. “You don’t know Jiang Cuiqin? She played the leading role in The Past of the East Wind and Daliang Dynasty. She became popular even before I was born!”

Si Jingchuan was also shocked. “Boss, we’re in the entertainment industry. How can you not know Ms. Jiang? Although she’s been in a semi-retirement state after she got married, she’s still active every few years. You have to be careful when you live with them.” He leaned toward them and said the last sentence slowly, “Ms. Jiang is a very difficult person to get along with!”

“Ah?” Xu Ni took a puff of the cigarette, and the thin smoke scattered on the side of his face. “How did you know? ”

Si Jingchuan had worked with her before. “Anyway, even I, who’s liked by many seniors, can’t handle her. I don’t know what she’s thinking at all. I still don’t understand what kind of person she is. I guess all the old seniors are like this…”

Xu Ni began to worry about her Su Ji.

“Why is there such a strong smell of smoke?”

Xu Mingzhi’s voice came from the entrance.

Xu Ni’s hand trembled and she almost dropped the cigarette. It was the same feeling of being caught smoking in school by a parent.

She looked around for a place to put out the cigarette and almost stuffed it into her mouth. Then, Si Jingchuan handed her his can of drink.

The cigarette butt was extinguished.

Xu Mingzhi entered the house and saw them sitting on the balcony. She smiled and said, “you guys are here, I smell some smoke just now…”

At the same time, Xu Ni and Su Ji put some distance between them and Si Jingchuan.

Si Jingchuan didn’t understand at first. Then, he followed Madam Xu’s line of sight and looked at the can in his hand that reeked of smoke. “Uh…”

Xu Mingzhi smiled mysteriously, “you’re a smoker? I didn’t expect that…”

Si Jingchuan: “…”

His sunny boy’s image had collapsed!

Xu Ni took the initiative to help Xu Mingzhi carry her things, and Su Ji also asked if she was busy today.

Xu Mingzhi smiled and praised Xu Ni for being nice. Then, she replied to Su Ji, “I have a dinner party in the afternoon. I didn’t have anything else planned, so I came back to see you.”

Su Ji liked that her mother had friends.

She smiled. “With Aunt Wen?”

Xu Mingzhi nodded. “And Pei Huai’s mother.”

To be more precise, today was Du Meilan’s party. Xu Mingzhi took half a day off to have a good time with her besties.

Xu Mingzhi and Wen Man did not ask about the reason behind Du Meilan’s sudden party, but they had a tacit understanding.

There were suddenly shadows fluttering by the window. Si Jingchuan said, “look, it’s snowing.”

This was probably the last snow of the winter. Everyone in the house looked out of the window when they heard this. Even Aunt Wu looked out of the kitchen window and happened to see Uncle He cleaning the yard next door.

Si Jingchuan was cured by the beautiful scenery and forgot why he was so depressed just now.

With this beautiful scenery, he raised the can in his hand and drank the last mouthful.

Xu Ni, who was looking at him, gasped but he drank it before she could open her mouth.

A second later, Si Jingchuan cursed loudly!

**

The top-floor study of the Pei family’s old mansion was so quiet that only the sound of falling snow could be heard.

Even though they had been married for more than 30 years in name, they were sitting opposite each other.

Du Meilan was like an orchid, elegant as before, but the wine glass in her hand was empty.

The agreement on the coffee table had been signed and stamped.

Having known each other for half their lives, they knew each other too well.

After ten minutes of silence, her ex-husband said, “thank you.”

Du Meilan’s lips curved slightly. “I should be the one thanking you. With this agreement, You are basically leaving the marriage with nothing.”

Her ex-husband didn’t say a word, his arm resting on his knee.

The screen of his phone on the table lit up. There was an incoming call.

Du Meilan raised her wine glass. “You’re free.”

She motioned for him to answer, but he pressed the hang up button.

Du Meilan’s expression did not change as she looked at him.

She heard Pei Shizhan say, “I owe you.”

“And not only this.”
