Xiao Manjun didn't seem to be too pleased with my reply, but his anger also immediately died down.

He did not dare to go back, nor did he have the face to go back.

"That Shen Jianning, what's going on?" Xiao Man Jun asked hesitantly.

"It's just a coincidence!"

After saying that, I turned back to look at him. Sure enough, I saw a flash of scheming in his eyes, "Xiao Manjun, no matter what happened before, he's now my friend. Don't touch my bottom line!"

Hearing my threat, Xiao Manjun wasn't afraid at all and instead laughed loudly, "Song Yi, isn't your bottom line Xiao Jin Dong? Since when did Shen Jianning appear? It is said that women are sentimental. Looks like it is true.

My face turned sour, and I heard the sound of my head turning back to cut vegetables.

Xiao Man Jun's sarcasm did not stop, "Also, when did you, Song Yi, need a friend? In your eyes, other than Xiao Jin Dong, isn't that the only thing you can use?"

There was a hint of coldness in his words. I stopped what I was doing and looked at the dishes on the chopping board and the sharp blade.

Xiao Manjun heaved a long sigh of relief from behind me, and said as if it was an unintentional sigh, "A cold person should face their cold heart, not to mention using their self-righteous morals to reinforce their buddhist light. That would only make others feel that it's funny. I'm in a good mood today. I'm going out to enjoy myself. See you! "

I turned around and Xiao Manjun waved his hand as he left the room. I walked to the balcony with the kitchen knife in my hand. I stood by the window like a mad woman, and after a while, Shen Jianning and Xiao Manjun walked out side by side. I saw Xiao Manjun holding a cigarette in his hand, and he tilted his head to the side as he said something to Shen Jianning. Because the distance is not far, he can clearly see my shadow, but I can't see the knife in my hand.

I saw him smile at me, beautiful and gentle in the sunset.

My body was trembling as I watched the two of them disappear before my eyes. There was nothing I could do. I don't know how long I stood there, but my legs felt a bit numb. After recovering for a while, I limped back to the kitchen. I cooked myself a bowl of noodles and sat on the sofa to eat in a daze.

Why did Xiao Manjun find Shen Jianning? I didn't know what Shen Jianning would promise Xiao Manjun. I only knew that there were some things that deviated from my plan once again.

While I was hesitating over whether or not I should call her, she called me. Her voice was still cold, no sound of joy or sadness could be heard.

Chen Shuang asked me about the results of my inspection. She also had a copy of my schedule, so she naturally knew what I was doing.

I briefly mentioned the doctor named Xiu. Dai Shuang had clearly become somewhat silent. After a while, he replied, "He, asked me?"

"Yes, between you two?"

"I'll tell you when I have time. By the way, do you know about the New York Film Festival?"

"I was stunned, not sure if she meant to ask me if I knew the story of her achievements or something else." What happened to the festival? "

"Director Gu will be attending with some old rumors. Xiao Jin Dong will be invited by the organizers to be one of the judges!" Duskfrost said.

I was stunned, unable to react. After a moment, he muttered, "You mean, Xiao Jin Dong will be back in New York in a few days?"

"Yes, I will accompany you. When the time comes, we might encounter each other. You should prepare in advance!" The frost was still calm, but my heart was in turmoil.

"Is he all right? Or perhaps, the choice has already been made? " I asked eagerly.

Naked Frost remained silent for a long time. Finally, he directly hung up the phone. I was stunned as I stared blankly at the black screen, unable to recover for a long time.

What did that mean? If it was worse, it would be worse. Why, why didn't he say a word? I couldn't figure out what she meant. I couldn't even see through her motives. Was it really because she wanted to keep on having a dual personality like Xiao Jin Dong?

For the first time I doubted, for the first time I doubted the existence of that double personality.

Xiao Manjun did not return, and he did not appear before me for three days. On the other hand, Shen Jianning came over twice and brought food with him, making me two meals in a very attentive manner.

I asked him if Xiao Manjun had gone to him for help, but he denied it.

"He, as the second young master of the Xiao family, does not think much of my trivial business. However, I have a nagging feeling that his purpose for coming here is not simple. It seems that he has a great secret, but I have yet to investigate it!" Shen Jianning said as he helped me clean up.

I frowned slightly. "Secret?" Why are you so suspicious? "

Shen Jianning stood up and looked at me. He was wearing a pink cartoon apron that made his tall figure look ridiculous. "He's been here with you for so many days, yet you don't know where he has been?"

I shook my head. "He doesn't have money, so he doesn't dare to use his card. Or rather, it would be useless even if he did. "Where else can we go other than to find a way to earn a living?"

Shen Jianning sighed helplessly, "Song Yi, sometimes I really don't know if you're stupid or not! You really aren't concerned about the matters of the Xiao family at all. At the very least, as an outsider, I am aware that Xiao Yue was satisfied with the fact that he forced Xiao Manjun to become homeless only to show that! "

"Appearance?" I remembered the wounds on Xiao Manjun's body when I woke up in the wooden house. I shook my head. "Impossible. He was even worse off than me at that time!"

"Do you understand the trick?" Shen Jianning was no longer feeling helpless. He was already regretting his failure to meet Chen Xiaolian's expectations. The frown between my eyebrows deepened. "I don't understand what you mean?"

Shen Jianning put down the cloth in his hand, "Let me ask you, what is Xiao Man Jun to Xiao Xi?"

"Brother? "Enemy?"

Shen Jianning's face was filled with mockery, "No, I'm an ally!"

"Allies?" I smiled, disagreeing. Shen Jianning continued, "I know you find this unbelievable, but that's the truth. Compared to Xiao Jin Dong, Xiao Man Jun was simply too easy to control. Xiao Xin was currently being attacked from the back, and his reputation had also suffered a huge loss. How could he force his brother to die at this time? Xiao Jianjun was satisfied, but he wasn't that stupid. He wouldn't easily give up someone who was so easily controlled and could bring him benefits. Xiao Manjun's disappearance, Huo Shui Xian's death, the downfall of the Huo Family, all of these were targeted at Xiao Jin Dong and you.

Actually, I've thought about what Shen Jianning said before. However, the conflict between Xiao Manjun and Xiao Yan isn't something an outsider can understand. Shen Jianning may be unassailable when it comes to analyzing business gains and losses, but in other aspects, he isn't any better than me, especially to the people of the Xiao family.
