In a private apartment, Ruan Shengyu turned off the television and said to the middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa, "Do you know that saying this could lead A Yan to misunderstand and get angry?"
Xu Lin took a deep breath, stood up, and patted Ruan Shengyu on the shoulder. "Ruan Shengyu, look, even Mr. Jin hasn't said anything yet, right? He cares about you and is considering your future."
"But he said he has someone he’s going to marry!" Ruan Shengyu exclaimed, her voice rising in panic. She was afraid he might really marry someone else.
"How do you know that the person he’s talking about isn’t you?" Xu Lin reassured Ruan Shengyu. "There’s a major film project looking for a leading lady right now. I’ve already submitted your resume and photos. If everything goes well and you land the role, your value will definitely increase next year."
Ruan Shengyu closed her eyes, her mind swirling with images of Jin Chengyan and the Best Actress title. Then she opened her eyes.
"Okay, I understand. After I take a few days off, help me arrange some work."
"That’s all I needed to hear!" Xu Lin sighed in relief.
Meanwhile, Qiao Nuo stood outside Ying Shi Law Firm, wondering what Jin Chengyan was planning and how he knew she was here.
Before she could think further, a black Bentley pulled up in front of her.
Qiao Nuo stepped back two paces as A Shan emerged from the passenger seat. He nodded politely at Qiao Nuo. A Shan had a fierce expression, and seeing him bow made Qiao Nuo feel uneasy.
A Shan immediately opened the back door, revealing Jin Chengyan inside.
Jin Chengyan got out instead of inviting Qiao Nuo into the car. What was he planning to do?
“Is there something you need from me? If it’s about what you mentioned before, then don’t bother. I…”
“Come with me.” Jin Chengyan interrupted Qiao Nuo with a commanding tone that left her no choice but to comply.
Reluctantly, she followed Jin Chengyan into the elevator.
This building housed not only Ying Shi Law Firm but also several other well-known law firms. However, those top lawyers rarely took on cases from ordinary people, let alone someone like Qiao Nuo, who was now bankrupt.
But when Jin Chengyan entered the elevator, Qiao Nuo noticed A Shan pressed the button for the 17th floor. She recalled that the most famous marriage lawyer, Zheng Lawyer, was located on that floor.
“Why are you taking me to see Zheng Lawyer?”
“We need a lawyer present for our marriage, don’t we?”
He always brought up marriage in every conversation.
“I’m not going. I’ve already said I don’t want to get married…” Qiao Nuo knew A Shan wasn’t exactly a stranger, which allowed her to speak so openly.
A Shan dutifully played the role of a human shield.
Jin Chengyan turned to look at Qiao Nuo. After so many days apart, she still wore that stubborn expression. No matter how he approached her—softly or forcefully—she remained unmoved.
But why wouldn’t he consider trying someone else?
He instinctively dismissed the thought. He had always been someone who wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal; how could he possibly switch tactics midway?
“Qiao Nuo, I announced on television that I want to get married. I don’t want to be someone who goes back on their word.”
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me," Qiao Nuo retorted, as it was he who was being stubborn.
"Will it really hurt you to listen to me just this once? It won't!"
"..." It seemed that a pleasant conversation was not going to happen.
As the human backdrop, A Shan also seemed unable to enjoy the exchange. He said, "Miss Qiao, the young master went to the Law Firm to help deal with your brother's matters."
"Who told you to speak?" Before Qiao Nuo could respond, Jin Chengyan shot a glare at A Shan. This kid was becoming more and more unruly!
A Shan lowered his head, acknowledging his mistake.
Qiao Nuo watched the back-and-forth between the master and servant and realized that she had been played by Jin Chengyan again.
She felt... so angry.
