Vengeance: Ex-Husband CEO, Please Love Me-Chapter 69 - The Vinegar Jar had Toppled
Chapter 69: The Vinegar Jar had Toppled
The girls’ screams and shrieks mixed together. For a moment, the originally quiet rest area became lively.
Coincidentally, Jin Wenxi came looking for her at this moment.
Before he could ask what was going on, Xiao Jing grabbed the chance to complain to him first, “Brother Wenxi, what’s wrong with this assistant of yours? She actually hit someone. Look at my hand; it’s all scraped raw…”
She thought that she would receive Jin Wenxi’s concern, but she didn’t expect Jin Wenxi to rush towards Song Wei rather nervously. “Is my male lead’s dragon robe okay?!”
Song Wei glanced at the culprit and said calmly, “She splashed some beverage on it, but it’s not a big problem.”
Jin Wenxi finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s fine. After all, this is my first time being a male lead. It wouldn’t be good if my clothes were damaged.”
Those girls were simply stunned by what they were seeing.
Jin Wenxi really wished that he could print out the two words ‘male lead’ and stick them onto his body.
Song Wei was exasperated and amused at the same time. “You’re just a substitute. Stop showing off.”
“I can act with the best leading actress. Why can’t I show off?” Speaking up to this point, Jin Wenxi seemed to have remembered something. He turned around and looked at Song Wei. “A man called you just now.”
“Ah? What did he say?” Song Wei’s nerves finally tightened a little. There were not many people who would call her on this phone, so there was a very high probability that it was Jiang Mingxu!
“He didn’t say anything. He just said that he was looking for you and even asked who I was.”
“What did you say?”
“I said that I’m your idol, your object of admiration, and your dream lover.”
“…” Sh*t!
Song Wei returned to the actors’ dressing room and grabbed her phone to take a look. The number in the call log belonged to Jiang Mingxu indeed.
D*mn it… She wondered how Jiang Mingxu felt after hearing Jin Wenxi’s words. In any case, Song Wei was feeling a little flustered.
When she called him back, she received a busy signal and was prompted to leave a message.
The gaze she shot at Jin Wenxi was fuming with anger. “Why did you help me answer the phone? And even said such nonsense?”
Jin Wenxi had an innocent look on his face. “You didn’t leave a note either. I thought that it was just a spam call. Anyway, it’s pretty boring to wait for my makeup to be done, too… Don’t you think that my reply to the spam call just now was especially interesting?”
Song Wei could only feel regret in her heart. How blind was she to find such a person to be her springboard?
In her previous life, it was not without reason that he became popular only after three years, despite having acting skills and the looks.
With this mouth of his, he was lucky to not be beaten to death by the staff members around him.
“…” Song Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the thought of killing a certain someone in her heart. She continued to deal with the costume issue.
She wondered if Jiang Mingxu was angry. In any case, she wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible and go back early to explain things clearly.
This matter had blown up, but she wasn’t able to get through to Jiang Mingxu’s phone at all.
The next morning, when both Little Guo and Song Wei couldn’t reach him, she called Uncle Dong who only said that Jiang Mingxu had gone to Europe on a business trip. He might have switched his phone to silent mode during a meeting.
Song Wei hesitated for a moment before asking Uncle Dong, “Has Young Master Jiang been in love before?”
“Probably… yes. Madam, why are you asking this?” Uncle Dong was a little confused by the question. He was afraid that a wrong answer from him would affect the harmony between the husband and wife.
“Is he a very jealous person?”
Uncle Dong replied without hesitation, “I think that Young Master isn’t too generous with regards to his emotions. Previously, we owned a dog at home, but he didn’t have time to get close to it. Therefore, when he came home, the dog chose me over him. After that, he immediately got me to send the dog away.”
“…” Song Wei subconsciously swallowed her saliva. She was a little worried.
After thinking about it, Jiang Mingxu’s lack of generosity had already been reflected in all aspects of their lives actually…
It was just that she had never thought that he was being jealous over her.
Now that she thought about it, during many times in the past when she had thought he was toying with her and teasing her… it was actually because… the vinegar jar had toppled[1]?
In that case, she was likely done for this time!
[1] The Chinese character for ‘vinegar’ is the same as the word ‘jealousy’, so a vinegar jar is used as a metaphor to express romantic jealousy in Chinese.
