Chapter 148 The stain in life

She didn't want to say it, so Zhou Jingwei didn't force others to do anything.

He just held the hand on the back of her hand a little harder.

Silent all the way, Cheng Weiyue leaned on the passenger seat with her eyes closed, her eyes a faint gray.

On the other side of Jingcheng is Zhou Siheng's residence.

Qiao Jingxue and Chu Manxiao were at each end of the sofa, with identical smiles on their faces.

The new movie has just been building momentum. Because of Chu Manxiao's fame and Qiao Jingxue's traffic, it has received a lot of response. A press conference will be held in a few days to whet the public's appetite.

So at night, the two of them watched movies and chatted for a long time

After all, Qiao Jingxue has been in the entertainment industry for many years. She is very eloquent, speaks nicely, and has the blessing of the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, which makes Chu Manxiao very happy.

"Jingxue, we've been chatting all night. Why haven't you seen your husband come back yet? It's so late. Men stay up all night. As a wife, you should take care of it."

Chu Manxiao's smile did not diminish, but his tone was intriguing and undisguised.

The smile on Qiao Jingxue's face faded a little. She put down her wine glass and rubbed her forehead gracefully before saying, "Director Chu, you don't know that Si Heng is too ambitious and is probably still working overtime at this point.

"

"As a man, it's normal to be career-minded, but you can't live without family, are you right?" Chu Manxiao said slowly.

Qiao Jingxue's nails were embedded in her flesh, but her face was calm and she agreed with a smile: "Director Chu, you are right, this man needs to be taken care of well. I will learn more from you in the future!"

Chu Manxiao waved his hand and smiled: "If you want to know what it means to be so serious about seeking lessons, as someone who has been there, of course I have more or less experience and can tell you."

The atmosphere relaxed slightly.

Qiao Jingxue deliberately brought the topic to movies.

Chu Manxiao didn't ask any more questions and just followed the trend.

Just when the conversation had an unspeakable undercurrent, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Zhou Siheng stood outside the door, looking at the two people sitting in the hall with a dull expression.

Chu Manxiao hesitated to say hello proactively. Qiao Jingxue had already walked over and took Zhou Siheng's arm naturally. Her tone was soft and sweet: "Siheng, this is Director Chu, the director of my new movie. You are still the first."

When we meet again, would you like to sit down and chat?"

The Zhou Group is busy with affairs, and Zhou Siheng has already held a meeting all night for a round of investment in new energy projects.

He raised his hand to show the watch in front of Qiao Jingxue, and said word by word: "Would you like to see for yourself, what time is it now?"

Qiao Jingxue's face turned green and white.

She couldn't lose her composure, she held back her embarrassment, and her smile was still so touching: "Si Heng has been working all night. You really should have a good rest. Can I accompany you up?"

"No need," Zhou Siheng said simply and gently, letting go of her hand with a cold and calm look on his face: "You'd better stay with your guest."

Chu Manxiao is not a fool, how could he not see the fishy and incompatibility between the two of them?

When Zhou Siheng went upstairs, Chu Manxiao's attitude became obviously indifferent.

Although there is still a smile on her face, her eyes are slightly narrowed, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are serious: "Are you and this young master of the Zhou family at odds with each other?"

"No, of course not!" Qiao Jingxue categorically denied it, then sighed and said: "We have been quarreling recently, but how can a couple not quarrel? If they quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed..."

Chu Man smiled and did not respond.

She is actually a very shrewd woman. She could easily believe Qiao Jingxue's words before, just because she really wanted to build connections with the Zhou family.

If you want something too much, you will sometimes lose your judgment.

But at this moment, Chu Manxiao's judgment returned to its fullest.

She took the valuable satchel beside her, stood up and said, "We've been chatting for a long time, Jingxue. I'm old and can't bear it anymore, so I'm going back first."

Qiao Jingxue stood up in a hurry, without having time to take back the shock on her face.

Her lips trembled, and she thought for a long time, searching for various words in her mind, and finally said at a loss: "Director Chu, I will send you off."

"Stay," Chu Manxiao said politely and distantly, his eyes falling on Qiao Jingxue with an indescribable edge: "Jingxue, you have to know, it doesn't matter if the relationship between husband and wife is not good for one or two days, but if

If it’s not good all the time, then that’s another story.”

"Director Chu, Si Heng and I have always had a good relationship before!" Qiao Jingxue panicked and quickly defended.

"Why are you so nervous, kid? Of course I believe you, and I'm willing to wait and see." Chu Manxiao patted Qiao Jingxue's shoulder with scarlet red paint, and her smile was a little bit cold.

Qiao Jingxue's smile froze and froze on her face. She still couldn't control her reaction and was slightly out of control.

Seeing her like this, Chu Manxiao knew that he had guessed correctly.

She felt angry at being deceived and tricked, but the movie campaign had already been created and she could not regret it easily.

Chu Manxiao got into the car holding back her anger and received a call from an unknown address.

She raised the partition of the car, answered the phone, and lowered her voice: "Hello."

"Hello, we have completed your entrustment. Please remit the remaining money to the previous account."

The car drove slowly in the morning light, and the light and shadow on Chu Manxiao's well-maintained face were dim, and not a trace of sunlight from the window could penetrate.

Her eyes became very cloudy, her bright red lips grinned, and she gave a weird smile: "I know, I will give you the money, do a good job."

Well done, the last stain in her life has finally completely disappeared.

No one will ever know that past.

She can always be glamorous, can be in the film industry, and be famous throughout the ages.

The news of Zhong Qing's death was sudden, and even the funeral was also sudden.

Cheng Weiyue and Zhou Jingwei arrived at Xuancheng Central Hospital in the early morning.

The nurse came over with a small form and asked Cheng Weiyue: "Are you a direct blood relative of Zhong Qing?"

"No..." Cheng Weiyue paused and said in a hoarse voice, "She and I are friends."

Seeing that her condition and mood were not good, Zhou Jingwei silently helped her stabilize a little.

The nurse looked at Cheng Weiyue in surprise.

It’s true that I have made many friends over the years, but those who can actually rush over to attend the funeral during the last journey of life are simply rare.

The nurse closed the form, sighed, and said, "She doesn't have any relatives anyway. If you go to the funeral ground in the south now, you can still see her laid to rest."

Cheng Weiyue never thought that a person's death could be so hasty.

She bit her lip to calm herself down, said thank you in a low voice, and walked out with Zhou Jingwei's help.
