Chapter 1099 - 1009: Can’t Guess It
Only heaven knows how much he wants to see Xu Jiaojiao right now. But things have not yet concluded; she needs time to arrange everything and understand the causes and effects.Xu Jiaojiao entrusted Qin Miaomiao to investigate the gossip scandal. After a few quiet days, they finally received some results. Indeed, there was someone who could reveal the information, and that person was even her peer.
"There are too many actors—those I’ve worked with and those I haven’t. It’s possible that I inadvertently offended someone. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, I can’t guess at all."
Xu Jiaojiao complained with a helpless tone, leaving Qin Miaomiao at a loss for words. She deeply understood that the information she currently had was not sufficient for further investigation, but Xu Jiaojiao was just that kind of good person, so she planned to continue searching for this informant.
"Jiaojiao, once this movie is finished, I’ll give you a long vacation to go abroad and relax a bit."
"I don’t want a vacation," Xu Jiaojiao said, gazing warmly at Qin Miaomiao, with an indescribable feeling of helplessness. No matter how she thought, she couldn’t be sure of some things’ authenticity, so she smiled and said, "I know you’re worried. Rather than a vacation, I’d prefer to spend time making money. You wouldn’t think I have no pressure, right? The mortgage is due every month, and my burdens are still heavy."
Qin Miaomiao heard Xu Jiaojiao’s words, and her mind grew heavier.
An assistant knocked on the door and came in to remind them that the afternoon meeting was moved up. Xu Jiaojiao stood up to say goodbye, looking at Qin Miaomiao and said, "Don’t worry about my affairs. I heard you’re busy looking for new scripts recently, you must be busier than me. I’m heading off."
"We’re both just as busy. Don’t always be so polite with me," Qin Miaomiao said as she walked out with Xu Jiaojiao, then saw the staircase and said, "Let me walk you out."
"No need, you should go to your meeting. It’s not good to keep so many people waiting. I don’t want to be labeled as acting like I’m the big shot."
Upon hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s self-mocking, she could finally relax a bit. Thinking that although Jiaojiao wasn’t in a good mood, she could still joke, which meant she was doing alright for now. She watched as Xu Jiaojiao left the company accompanied by her assistant.
"Sister Jiaojiao, do you want to go back to rest first? I can take a day off from the crew."
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, I don’t want to take leave from the crew. The sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can rest. Let’s head back."
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao stubbornly stick to her decision, the assistant didn’t know what more to say and sighed helplessly, instructing the driver to turn back to the set.
On the way, Xu Jiaojiao received a call from Meng Chengjun. She didn’t plan to pay attention to it, but unexpectedly, she directly pointed at Jin Jingse, saying there was something important related to him to tell Xu Jiaojiao in person.
"Wait outside, I’m going in to see someone."
Xu Jiaojiao arrived at the coffee shop’s entrance, peering through the glass to observe the people inside. She saw a woman with her head down, busy with her phone. With a heavy heart, she opened the glass door and walked in.
She didn’t want to see Meng Chengjun; Xu Jiaojiao knew very well that meeting her would only bring unpleasant memories. She didn’t want her heart to suffer any more blows. The current situation was the best; she planned to break up in person. Whether he agreed or not, her attitude was clear—the rest was up to him.
"Miss Xu, thank you so much for coming to see me."
Meng Chengjun appeared with a pitiful expression, the kind Xu Jiaojiao least wanted to see. Jin Jingse had been captivated by this look from the start, unable to harden his heart towards her.
