Chapter 249: Chapter 243: The Deafening Silence Inside the Car
Han Qianyi looked puzzled: “Why would you think Zheng He and I had arranged to et?”
Wan Chen hesitated and then spoke with embarrassnt, “The internet says you’re into him…”
The internet was abuzz with the claim that Han Qianyi was desperately pursuing Zheng He, but the truth of these rumors was unknown.
Now that the program was over and the competitive relationship between them had co to an end, he definitely wanted to save the girl so face.
But if he didn’t cooperate with Han Qianyi, he didn’t know anyone else well enough to collaborate with.
As far as he was concerned, Han Qianyi was a decent person, a bit crafty, and had a sort of determination to strive for the top. Perhaps it was because she ca from the lower ranks of society and didn’t have the kind of backing to bolster her, so her craftiness was only utilized in petty sches that benefited her.
She wouldn’t dare to pull off a grand sche; she didn’t have the guts, because she knew her limits and couldn’t handle the consequences.
To put it bluntly, she was quite self-aware, understanding what she wanted and where her bottom line lay.
Otherwise, given what had just happened with Vice President Wang, she should now be in a room upstairs at the hotel.
That was also why he was willing to propose a collaboration.
After acting, they could both go their separate ways, no need to worry about playacting turning into reality and causing him any trouble.
Han Qianyi had seen so of those rumors online and chuckled, “I’m not that blind. If that day cos, please send straight to the hospital to see an eye specialist.”
Wan Chen let out a light laugh, “You’re quite different off the program from how you are on it.”
Han Qianyi on the show would never say ‘blind’ nor use such a clearly mocking tone.
She would probably explain gently: You’ve misunderstood, Zheng He and I are just good friends, I just think since we’re all on the sa program we should look out for each other, I just can’t bear to see him suffer, I just…
Han Qianyi paused, “…”
Just now, Wan Chen had helped her, and without the caras around, she accidentally broke her persona of being beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, and caring.
Recovering her composure, Han Qianyi returned to her gentle persona, speaking softly, “Um… I’m not usually like this, it was that surna Wang who annoyed today.”
Wan Chen suddenly beca curious, “How did you run out just now?”
Han Qianyi had deliberately omitted the fact that she had struck soone when she explained her earlier encounter.
She could never admit such a thing to anyone, as starting a physical confrontation could easily be twisted by others, potentially turning her from a disadvantaged person into an irrational, violent, and acerbic woman if the cooperation fell through.
Ridiculous rumors often started that way on the internet.
Moreover, at tis like these, it’s the vulnerable people who receive special protection.
She had no influential background or support, only by playing the sympathy card, could she maintain her footing without being at a disadvantage.
Han Qianyi sniffed, her eyes instantly reddening as she maximized the impact of the words ‘vulnerable group.’
Looking at Wan Chen, she said with a grievance, “I escaped when he accidentally fell down. After all, he’s a big man and I couldn’t overpower him…”
Wan Chen wasn’t good at comforting people, especially won. He opened his mouth and slowly nodded, “Yeah, you did the right thing. In these situations, it’s not suitable for girls like you to face n head-on.”
After saying that, he started the car and the headlights imdiately lit up.
The people walking in front of the car were clearly illuminated by the bright headlamps.
Han Qianyi saw that the person passing by the car was Vice President Wang, who was cursing and talking on the phone.
“F*ck! That woman dared to smash with a wine bottle, claid she was my mother, and kicked several tis, the bitch! I swear I’ll destroy her! Sooner or later, I’ll make her kneel on the ground, crying and begging !”
“…”
“…”
At that mont, the silence inside the car was deafening.
Han Qianyi was speechless. At that mont, she should have kicked him a couple more tis to make him lie on the ground a bit longer. That way he would have co out two seconds later and her persona wouldn’t have collapsed.
Ah really… such a miscalculation.
Luckily, Wan Chen didn’t pay much attention to it either. He asked, “Where do you live?”
Han Qianyi gave him her address.
On the way, neither of them talked much. Wan Chen was usually reticent, and Han Qianyi didn’t know what to say either.
When getting out of the car, Wan Chen gave her his contact information and said, “You should go out less at night recently, be careful.”
“Thank you for today, I’ll treat you to a al when I have ti.”
“There’s no need for a al, just rember the promise you made to . Also, don’t overdo it with the shipping of couples. I hope we can be distant partners in the show, and after the show… the sa.”
What Wan Chen actually wanted to say was that after the show, there was no need to contact each other if it wasn’t necessary, but saying it outright might be too harsh. After so thought, he chose a more tactful way to express himself.
After the show, he still had to take that five million ho, slap it in Old Wan’s face, and let Old Wan see how accomplished his son was. He still had passionate entrepreneurship ahead, ready to kick off his grand enterprises!!
He really had no ti for inconsequential people like Han Qianyi, Chen Xixi, Jin Cheng, and Zheng He.
But so knots are harder to cut the more you try.
Just as Wan Chen would never dream that they would beco life-and-death friends in the future.
“I have the sa idea,” Han Qianyi said with a smile. “Maintaining a proper distance, we all remain old acquaintances. That’s quite nice.”
Wan Chen raised his eyebrow; he felt he had indeed not misjudged her.
Returning ho, Han Qianyi hurried into the bathroom to take a shower. Being touched by that slly man made her feel like her shoulders were both dirty and stinky.
After her shower, she lay in her thirty-sothing-square-ter single apartnt, looking at the ceiling and sighing heavily.
Half an hour later, she ca to terms with it.
If she could be on the reality romance show, she would. If not, she would probably have to say goodbye to the entertainnt industry forever, and the dream of being an Oscar-winning actress would remain just a dream.
But no worries, she could still do social dia.
While she was still popular, she could work on her dia presence and sell so products to support herself.
When the hype dies down, she’ll see if there’s a chance to transition into acting.
Actually, it’s all the sa; just a longer detour. When she debuts, she might only be old enough to play the roles of mothers, but who says you can’t win an actress award playing a mother?
Once she polishes her acting skills, whatever role she plays, she will have the opportunity to beco an actress!
…
The guests from the reality show were all busy, and so were Jin Cheng and Zheng He.
Jin Family villa.
Returning to his own ho, Jin Cheng felt ecstatic.
Finally, no need to squeeze in with everyone for sleep. His large room is the best!
It just occasionally felt a little lonely.
Without Zheng He’s jokes to watch, not seeing Chen Xixi’s quick wit dealing with various dilemmas, and Han Qianyi’s constant feigned fragility like a delicate flower, life seed to lack a lot of fun!
As for Wan Chen… not familiar, Wan Chen’s not that interesting.
However, before he could enjoy a few minutes of comfort, his servant had packed up three large suitcases for him and sent them downstairs.
Another servant stood at his bedroom door, shouting, “Young master, the flight to Germany is delayed, hurry up and head out!”
“???” Since when was he going to Germany? How co he didn’t know anything about it??
