She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

"Sister Wei, what's wrong with Brother Chen?"

Xiaoman, holding a water cup in one hand and an umbrella in the other, asked cautiously.

Yu Wei's expression had been grim ever since she returned last night. Upon hearing this, she gave her a cold glance and said, "You sensed it too, didn't you?"

"......ah?"

“He’s been acting strange ever since the Wu family had their accident. He’s been getting colder and colder towards me these past few days.”

Yu Wei took a deep breath and said, "He's probably resentful towards me. Xiaoman, do you think... he regrets it?"

She didn't say what she regretted, and Xiaoman didn't dare to ask.

The two stood there in the sun, watching the silent RV in the distance.

In the car.

As soon as Song Yuchen went up, he took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator and gulped it down. He only stopped when his whole body and mind had cooled down.

His chin was soaked by the overflowing water, but he casually wiped it away and turned to fall into the sofa behind him.

Why did the employees of Tangong say last night that they had offended their boss's wife?

Since entering the industry, he has been very tactful and has almost never offended anyone. As for those he and Yu Wei have offended together... there are very few.

He really couldn't think of anyone else besides Fang Li.

If the "boss lady" the Tan Palace employees were talking about is Fang Li, then she...

Song Yuchen raised his hand and pressed the back of his hand firmly against his eyes, unwilling to think about that guess.

But the more she tried to suppress it, the more clues surfaced on their own: the man who paid her breach of contract penalty in Hangzhou, and the figure she saw from behind on the expressway...

After a long while, Song Yuchen suddenly sat up, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.

"Come in here."

Not long after the phone call ended, a round, chubby figure ran in from outside.

Tian Chen got into the car, wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked, "Brother Chen, what's up?"

Song Yuchen looked at him and asked, "Have you been in contact with Fang Li recently?"

Tian Chen was taken aback. Hearing the name from his boss again after so long felt a little unfamiliar. He adjusted his glasses and said truthfully, "No, we haven't been in contact with Sister Fang Li since she returned to Haicheng."

"Did you know she's in the capital right now?"

Tian Chen nodded: "I know, I saw the rumors about her a while ago."

Song Yuchen pursed his lips, his eyes flickering slightly unnaturally, and said, "Find an opportunity to ask her what she's doing in the capital and where she's staying now."

"what?"

"What are you 'huh' for! Aren't you going yet!"

Tian Chen hesitated, "Brother Chen, you and Sister Fang Li have already... Everyone knows that you and Sister Wei have taken your fake relationship into real life. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to go to her again?"

"Whether it works or not, you tell me. All I need now is to know why she came to the capital, whether she's single or has found another man!"

Song Yuchen's expression was very bad, and his tone was also very sharp: "You only need to help me find out these things, as for the rest, it's none of your business."

Tian Chen's face darkened, her small eyes behind her glasses drooped, and she timidly replied, "Oh, I understand."

-

studio.

Fang Li had just finished her interview when her phone chimed with a new message.

She clicked on it and was surprised to find it was from Tian Chen, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time.

Being an artist seems like a thing of the past. Although Tian Chen was given the job by Song Yuchen, he was very dedicated to her and took good care of her.

She thought for a moment, then took out Tian Chen's phone and dialed it.

The phone rang for a few seconds before answering quickly: "Hello, Sister Fang Li?"

Tian Chen's slightly surprised voice came through the phone.

Fang Li stood up and stood in front of the French windows, saying, "It's me. What do you need me for?"

Tian Chen glanced at Song Yuchen, who was staring at him with a sharp gaze, and turned his back slightly awkwardly, saying, "It's nothing, I just heard you came to Beijing, so I wanted to see what you've been busy with lately and if you have time to have a meal together."

Fang Li remained silent: "...No need for a meal. I recently opened a studio and have been quite busy lately. I'll treat you when I'm less busy."

"Oh, I see. Then... I won't bother you any longer."

Just as Tian Chen was about to hang up, she received two cold stares. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Sister Fang Li, I saw your scandal online a while ago. Are you really with that man...?"

If Fang Li still couldn't tell something was wrong after talking to him like this, she would have wasted all those years in the industry.

Her voice turned slightly cold: "Who gave you the right to ask, Song Yuchen?"

Tian Chen immediately fell silent.

Fang Li instantly understood: "What does he want to know? If he wants to know, why doesn't he just ask me directly and instead comes to you indirectly? Ha."

She sneered, "When did he become a gossipy woman hiding behind the scenes?"

Tian Chen looked helplessly at Song Yuchen beside her. Seeing his gloomy expression and silent pursed lips, she quickly chuckled twice and said, "Sister Fang Li, you've misunderstood. Brother Chen is still filming. It's not him I wanted to ask you."

"We've worked together for so long, and since we're both in the capital, I thought I'd send my greetings."

"Yeah."

Fang Li didn't expose her or explain further, and said in a calm tone, "I'll contact you when I have time."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the heat on Fang Li's face completely dissipated.

She exhaled a breath of stale air and was about to turn around and sit down when Yu Tian's voice came from the doorway: "Is your ex-boyfriend bothering you again?"

Fang Li paused in pulling out the chair, then sat down and said, "No, it was my former assistant."

Yu Tian leaned against the door: "Your brother told me to keep an eye on you, especially your ex-boyfriend, and to strictly forbid him from appearing within a 500-meter radius of you."

Fang Li chuckled: "Listen to my brother, he's a scumbag himself, yet he has the nerve to criticize others."

Thinking back to the scene before he came, the old man was still holding his cane and scolding Xu Fangye for never being home, Yu Tian raised his lips and said, "Someone at the front desk is looking for you."

"Find me?"

Fang Li was surprised and got up to walk outside.

"Why are you here?"

The tall man turned around, dressed in a white shirt and white pants casual outfit, looking like he had just finished participating in some talent show, looking incredibly refined.

He raised an eyebrow at Fang Li: "I heard your studio is hiring, so of course I'm here for an interview."

Fang Li was speechless. "Is Young Master Lu very free? I don't have any fun to offer you."

"Of course I'm not here to have fun."

Lu Jie, hands in his pockets, took two steps closer to Fang Li, stopping when they were only an arm's length apart: "I just came to ask why a certain woman who promised someone else went back on her word and hung up on me last night?"

Fang Li: "......."

She was packing Han Xi's luggage when he called her out of the blue around 9 pm last night. Han Xi was standing right next to her. How could she answer the phone?

Besides, even if Han Xi wasn't there, she didn't plan to accept the call. She always avoided troublemakers like him.

"I didn't hear it." Fang Li didn't tell the truth and made up a lie on the spot.

Lu Jie looked at her quietly, and clicked his tongue lightly: "Has anyone ever told you that you are not suited to lying?"

He suddenly raised his hand and brushed her eyelashes aside. "Your eyes move so fast, how did you come up with such an excuse?"
