Chapter 393 - Come Across an Old Friend

Chapter 393 Come Across an Old Friend“The one I have confidence in will definitely meet with success. Wait a second.” Speaking of this, Xia Yu started to grope for something in her bag.

“What are you doing?” Cai Yanyan was confused.

“I’m looking for my pen and paper. I want to collect your signature before you become a famous superstar. Then I can sell them to make a living without doing anything else when you are very famous.” Xia Yu said in a serious tone and then smiled after finishing her words.

Cai Yanyan smiled, too. She recalled what she said to Xia Yu when Xia Yu was Li Yan’s interpreter. She let Xia Yu ask for Li Yan’s signature as payments instead of money.

Li Yan was a famous star. How could Cai Yanyan compare to him? “Zeng Mina and I had roles in Director Feng’s film originally. She was the leading actress, but she is injured now. I guess the film will be suspended for now, and I will lose the opportunity.”

“Alas, Zeng Mina is really very miserable this time.” Xia Yu disliked her in the past indeed, and even now she didn’t change her attitude towards her. However, seeing her lying in bed pitiably, she felt sorry for her indeed.

“Young Master Mo is really so callous?” How could she live through if she was dumped by her fiancé right after her father’s death?

“I don’t know much about their privacy. You also know Young Master Mo. I feel that it’s weird if he deliberately avoids meeting her. People all call him Director Cold, which strongly proves that he is a man not good at expressing his feelings. Do you think so?”

“We once worked with him, so we all know that he didn’t show off their love in the past. After Miss Zeng had the accident, Young Master Mo just does his own business as usual. However, some people who don’t know about him speak ill of Young Master Mo. Does he feel sad about it?” Cai Yanyan thought about it carefully and found it was true that Shen Mo just did as his own business as usual after Zeng Mina had the accident.

“I think so. Standing in his shoes, everyone will feel sad if they have to face the assailing of so much news after such a big accident. Young Master Mo is a human, not a superman. Right?” Xia Yu said while shaking her head.

“Young Master Mo is miserable indeed. Well! Leave it alone. Let’s talk about you. Did you have fun in your hometown on a holiday?” Cai Yanyan changed the topic and strolled in the market, holding Xia Yu’s arm.

“Not bad. I haven’t come back for several years. It has changed a lot.” Xia Yu answered while putting some seasoning into the shopping cart.

They strolled around and checked out before they parted.

After she went home, Xia Yu started to prepare the hotpot. She made a call to Shen Yan when everything was almost ready. He told her that he was just on the way home and would arrive soon.

“It smells so good. My wife cooks so well.” Shen Yan used the chopsticks to pick a piece into his mouth and enjoyed it very much.

“If you like it so much, you can eat it up today.” Xia Yu put the dishes in front of him and then took her phone to view some videos, wondering if there was any news.

“Leave it alone. Your conversation with Cai Yanyan in the market has been posted online, and over 30,000 people have viewed it. The number is still increasing. Netizens begin to give some positive comments on my brother. Thank you, Xia Yu.” Xia Yu took advantage of the peeping habit of paparazzi and pretended to come across someone to make a conversation, which was very useful.

Now many netizens began to compare Shen Mo’s attitude towards Zeng Mina in the past with his current attitude, finding that there was really no difference. So, his criticism ceased a little, and more people felt sympathy for him. When some people kept saying that Shen Family was self-conceited and First Madame shouldn’t have vented her anger on Zhou Jiamin, others reversely turned to support Shen Family.

After all, Zeng Mina would be Shen Family’s daughter-in-law in the future. It was understandable that her mother-in-law was in a bad mood after she was injured. Her emotional words were expectable. What was more, Zhou Jiamin didn’t show much politeness to her.

Of course, someone claimed that a mother-in-law was different from her natural mother. But some people quickly retorted that Zhou Jiamin was not her natural mother. She was her step-mother.

“I’m entrusted by your First Aunt. I hope that things can go on well until President Zhang takes over it.” Xia Yu said with a smile.

“Of course! You know well about Zhang Hanyu. He can get used to it in a minute.” Shen Yan smiled, and then he sent a piece of beef to Xia Yu’s mouth. “Wife, let me feed you.”

Xia Yu ate it, and she also fed Shen Yan a piece in return. The couple enjoyed the meal very much.

In the old house of Shen Family, Old Madame and First Madame watched the video, too. Old Madame kept nodding with satisfaction. Xia Yu accomplished a great task with little effort by clever maneuvers. A few casual words just offset the deluge of the assailing criticism.

She had to admit that Xia Yu was a genius. First Madame recalled what Old Madame said when Shen Mo prepared to get engaged to Zeng Mina at the beginning. “How could Zeng Mina match my grandson? Are you kidding?”

First Madame was also aware that she was right, but she had no other choice. Frankly speaking, Old Madame did have a better foresight than her in judging people. At the beginning when Shen Yan dated Xia Yu, she was gleeful on the side, thinking that if Shen Yan married Xia Yu, she could gain more advantages over them. But now, she realized that Xia Yu was a good helper for Shen Yan.

“Do you plan to assign Shen Yan to Xizang when the Spring Festival is over? What if he refuses?”

“He will go. Don’t regard him as a very callous person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used his social relation to release Zhang Hanyu to help Little Mo.”

“Are you so sure that it is he who released Zhang Hanyu?” First Madame curled up her lip. Even if it was him, Old Madame didn’t have to be so grateful to him. “If he really has a conscience, he should stop competing with his brother.”

Old Madame ignored her complaint directly when First Madame said these words.

Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci also watched the news. Li Tianci even made an investigation into it deliberately and found it was shot by a network reporter who followed Xia Yu secretly.

Shen Mo and his men took advantage of it once this video was posted online. His underlings commented below tooth and nail to make the video a hit, gaining fame for Shen Mo.

“Don’t worry. We have another plan.” Zhou Jiamin threw a record of Zeng Mina and Shen Mo’s quarrel onto the desk. “Zeng Mina said clearly in the record that he still liked Wu Shiyu while he just ignored her. If it is made public, it will be useless for Shen Mo to explain anything.”

“Babe, you’re so great.” Li Tianci kissed Zhou Jiamin on the cheek and went out with the record in delight.

Soon, rumors that Shen Mo got engaged to Zeng Mina because he needed Zeng Mina’s father’s support was rife again on the Internet. First Madame was so angry that she smashed several computers.

However, videos of Zeng Mina’s hooking up with someone else were posted online soon, which astonished many netizens.

Xia Yu knew that it was done by Zhang Hanyu, which was really useful. It was natural for Shen Mo to break off their engagement in view of Zeng Mina’s disloyalty.

But must they attack her morality? Zeng Mina’s life was still uncertain.

“Don’t think too much. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Shen Yan held Xia Yu in his arms from her back. “Anyway, we will go to Xizang when we formally go to work tomorrow. Out of sight, out of mind. What do you think?”

“That’s right.” Xia Yu didn’t feel good in her heart, but she didn’t want to be stubborn.

Shen Mo was a man who always pursued perfection in dealing with things, so Shen Yan didn’t need to worry at all. He directly signed the contract after he arrived there. Besides, it was the end of the Spring Festival, and everywhere was in a pleasant atmosphere.

In the past three days after they arrived in Xizang, they had visited quite a few tourist sites. When the contract was signed, Shen Yan just asked for Xia Yu’s advice. “How about we go to Shangri-L?”

They had talked about it before. Xia Yu nodded and agreed. In fact, she also didn’t want to go back so early. She did not want to see that Shen Mo and Zeng Family defamed each other.

The next morning, Xia Yu and Shen Yan went to Shangri-L, which was acclaimed as the nearest place to Heaven. It was Xia Yu’s first time to see such a vast prairie at such a high altitude and meet Zang people.

The sky was blue, and the air was fresh. These two people rode horses, strolling on the prairie. It was Xia Yu’s first time to ride a horse. She was a little scared at first, but her fear faded away as she began to get accustomed to it.

They didn’t visit too many tourist sites, but they enjoyed themselves very much. The next day afternoon, they visited an ancient town to buy some souvenirs. When Xia Yu was bending over and picking a bracelet, a woman beside her uttered a name. She was shocked when hearing the name.

“Wenxuan, come over and pick one for me quickly. Is this bracelet beautiful?”

“Yeah. It’s very nice.”

The man’s voice convinced Xia Yu that it was Chen Wenxuan.

The stall was small. He came over and happened to stand between Xia Yu and the woman. Xia Yu looked up at him. Her heart was still. There was no love or hatred for him.

What a small world! She had thought that they would never meet again.

Xia Yu wanted to turn around and leave, but she forgot that she still had the bracelet in her hand. The owner immediately stopped her. “Girl, you haven’t paid yet.”

The owner’s voice attracted Chen Wenxuan and his companion’s attention, so they all looked in the direction of Xia Yu. Xia Yu could clearly see the sharp contraction of Chen Wenxuan’s pupils, and he became pale and very shocked at once as if he saw a ghost.

However, Xia Yu glanced at him with no expression and took out money from her purse to pay the owner.

“Wenxuan, what’s wrong? I haven’t bought that bracelet yet. Where are you taking me?”

Chen Wenxuan immediately drew the woman to leave the stall after he saw Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn’t pay much attention to that woman just now, but at this moment, she noticed her belly. She was pregnant.

Xia Yu felt shocked in her heart. It must be Chen Wenxuan’s child. Bao Na was still in the hospital, and it was said that she had lost her child. Did he know that? Perhaps he did, and perhaps he did not. Or he didn’t want to know at all.

How could he be like this? Bao Na loved him so much that she could sacrifice everything for him. Even though he left, she had still been looking for him everywhere, hoping that they could get together again.

But now, the man was standing beside another woman. Was his heart made of stone?

“What are you looking at?” It was unknown when Shen Yan came back to her from the gentlemen’s room. He stood beside Xia Yu and asked with curiosity in his tone.

Xia Yu didn’t want to mention him, so she shook her head and withdrew her eyes. She showed the bracelet in her hand to Shen Yan and asked with a smile, “Is it nice?”

“Yeah. It’s very nice.”

He didn’t keep asking. Instead, he tied the bracelet around Xia Yu’s wrist.

They continued to stroll around the ancient town and had supper there. Life was sometimes full of surprise. She had thought that she wouldn’t meet Chen Wenxuan again, but they came across in a restaurant. What was more unexpected was that the waitress arranged for them to sit down near each other.

When Chen Wenxuan met Xia Yu again, he was still in a panic. The glass which had been picked up in his hand dropped on the table with a clank, spilling water on his clothes.

“Wenxuan, what’s wrong with you today? You’re so absent-minded.” The woman asked him with concern and pulled a few paper towels for Chen Wenxuan in a hurry. Then she just handed over the paper towels to Chen Wenxuan.

Wenxuan, Chen Wenxuan?

Shen Yan cast a cold look at Chen Wenxuan and withdrew his eyes quickly after only a glance. He slightly knocked on the menu with his thin and long finger. “Xia Yu, make an order.”

“OK. Fine!”

Xia Yu also withdrew her eyes, but she kept glancing at the woman’s belly with the corner of her eye. The woman was very thin, but her belly was small but obvious. Xia Yu couldn’t help thinking in her mind whether it was her destiny to meet him again to let her tell the woman the truth and prevent her from being cheated.
