755 Don’t Talk Nonsense! (1/2)
Seeing Su Manman's smile fade, Xie Jingqian leisurely leaned against the back of the sofa, a smile in her mellow voice. ”Perhaps this might have already made it on the news!”
The well-informed Fang Yan had received news of this a few days ago. She guessed that the gentle and beautiful lady was probably the female lead in Shi Hanchu's current movie!
”Nope!” Xu Wanwan had already swiftly started searching for such news on her phone.
How swiftly Xu Wanwan had acted!
”Aiyah! It's true!” Xu Wanwan found the news and was reading out the headline loudly. ”Astonishing news! Best Actor Shi and the female lead quietly left the celebratory function after the opening ceremony! Suspected of heading to Best Actor Shi's condo! Affectionate lovers?”
Su Manman's smile dimmed, and she grabbed her shoulder bag. ”Nuan Nuan, I'll get going first! I'll come back again tomorrow!”
Xu Wanwan covered her mouth with her hand, realizing that she probably shot her mouth off by reading out the headline.
”Miss Fu, please see yourself out, I won't be sending you off!” Xie Jingqian flashed a victorious smile.
Lin Nuan glared at Xie Jingqian, to which Xie Jingqian shrugged her shoulders and feigned innocence. ”I merely told the truth! I didn't make anything up…”
Seeing Su Manman leaving angrily, Lin Nuan felt mentally tired as she walked Su Manman downstairs. ”Those headlines are designed to grab attention!”
”I know!” Su Manman pulled open the car door to her sports car and was about to get into it when she was held back by the wrist by Lin Nuan.
”You drank! I'll get the chauffeur to send you!”
By then, You Nainai had already asked a servant to look for Uncle Hu to send Su Manman.
But of course, Su Manman didn't have the patience to wait for the chauffeur. She pried away Lin Nuan's hand and got into her car, closing the car door right after she did. She looked up at Lin Nuan and said, ”That woman is different, Nuan Nuan. If I lose to that woman, Shi Hanchu and I will miss each other for good in this lifetime! Help me thank Xie Qingqian, that woman!”
She then left in her sports car.
”Manman!” Lin Nuan shouted after her but didn't manage to stop her. She turned around and said to You Nainai, ”Get someone to follow her and make sure she doesn't get into an accident!”
You Nainai instructed the bodyguards to follow Su Manman's car, then turned back to see the frowning Lin Nuan standing at the door. She handed Lin Nuan a jacket, then sighed and said, ”It must be tiring for you to have two energetic friends who, on top of that, can't get along with each other!”
Lin Nuan nodded in agreement, while inevitably worried for Su Manman at the same time.
The new residence was undoubtedly bustling with life the night before the wedding.
The kitchen was busy preparing their supper. As the elders, Liang Mulan, Aunt Blessing, and Uncle Blessing didn't wish to intrude on the youngsters' time together, so they retired to their rooms early to rest.
Ji Zibai was in poor health to begin with, so Xie Jingqian accompanied Ji Zibai back to their room to rest. Lin Ran was keeping Ji Yun company and didn't wish to head downstairs. As for Fu Tianci, he had long fallen asleep with Tuan Tuan and Little Candy. Everyone else was merrily chattering as they ate supper, with the servants constantly refilling the alcohol, fruit juice, and tea.
Gu Qingcheng bit a cigarette at the corner of his lips, and the smoke was blurring his sturdy facial features, making it impossible for others to read his emotions.
No one could tell that Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting there smiling and with a cigarette in his mouth, was injured…
Yun Liuli sat next to Gu Qingcheng, obediently eating some cake with her head lowered. There was nearly zero interaction between the two of them, but the atmosphere was, for some reason, very… harmonious.
Lin Nuan instructed the servants to be more mindful of Gu Qingcheng's cup, making sure the water in it was kept warm by constant refills. She also got them to serve Yun Liuli some puddings, having noticed that she seemed fond of them.
