Chapter 53: Eyes That Can Easily Move People’s Hearts
Others in the entertainment industry didn’t know Jiang Su’s identity, but Shen Xiumo did.
The Jiang family’s power was formidable. Jiang Su could deal with Tang Juanzi with a single word.
Coupled with Tang Juanzi’s previous actions, Shen Xiumo assumed Jiang Su was the one who dealt with her.
“Wait, let me check Weibo.”
Jiang Su opened Weibo and after browsing around, understood what happened to Tang Juanzi.
While Jiang Su was looking at Weibo, Shen Xiumo waited patiently without hanging up.
It was clear that Shen Xiumo was truly anxious.
Jiang Su leisurely replied to Shen Xiumo: “Mr. Shen, you may not fully understand our Jiang family. We Jiang family people value martial virtue and always fight openly. We generally wouldn’t do things like this behind someone’s back.”
“Uh…” Shen Xiumo was not only not relieved but even more uneasy.
He also felt he didn’t know enough about the Jiang family.
“I’m going to sleep, Mr. Shen, good night.”
After hanging up, Jiang Su’s expression softened.
His words weren’t meant to deceive Shen Xiumo.
The Jiang family had its roots in the underworld, valued loyalty and principles, and dealt with people openly and aboveboard.
Of course, when truly provoked, they were capable of anything.
Tang Juanzi’s actions were not enough to make the Jiang family go to such lengths.
As for who actually did it…
Jiang Su had a faint guess in his mind.
…
After Shen Xiumo hung up, he fell into thought.
When the production team contacted Tang Juanzi, they had asked her to behave herself.
Tang Juanzi had indeed been well-behaved lately. With her usual methods, she had no chance to offend any big shots.
It was only this time that she foolishly provoked Jiang Su.
Therefore, the person who bought marketing accounts on Weibo to expose Tang Juanzi’s scandals must be someone connected to Jiang Su.
If it wasn’t the Jiang family, then it could only be someone close to Jiang Su.
The culprit was obvious.
Besides his unusually erratic rival, Huo Qingyan, who else could it be?
Now, things were even more difficult.
Shen Xiumo’s head was pounding, and he immediately drove to Huo Qingyan’s house.
Arriving at Huo Qingyan’s doorstep, he found Huo Qingyan’s villa pitch black.
It was almost eleven o’clock, and he hadn’t come home yet?
He remembered that Huo Qingyan didn’t have a habit of staying out late, rarely even attending social events. Usually, he would go home directly after finishing work at the company.
Shen Xiumo could only call Huo Qingyan.
As soon as the call connected, a mechanical female voice came from the other end: “The number you dialed is currently in use, please try again later…”
So late, who was Huo Qingyan calling?
After waiting for a while, Shen Xiumo called again, and it was still in use.
A sudden realization dawned on him—this wasn’t a call with someone else, he had been blocked by Huo Qingyan!
Blocked, huh?
Huo Qingyan really thought no one could control him, huh?
Heh!
…
Jiang Su opened the door in his pajamas, and his eyes fell on Shen Xiumo, who was smiling like a flower.
Shen Xiumo had driven all the way to Jiang Su’s house at breakneck speed, with the car windows wide open, the night wind blowing his hair into a mess, and a tuft of hair on top of his head standing up.
His imposing image of a powerful entertainment mogul was completely gone.
It was a little funny and a little pathetic.
Jiang Su was stunned for three full seconds: “Mr. Shen?”
Shen Xiumo didn’t care about his appearance at this moment. His peach blossom eyes were smiling, and he called out intimately, “Su Su.”
Jiang Su’s internal alarm bells went off.
Driving over in the middle of the night, calling him “Su Su” so intimately, any normal person would think too much.
Jiang Su reached out to close the door.
Shen Xiumo quickly stopped Jiang Su, “I need a favor!”
Fearing Jiang Su wouldn’t believe him, he straightened his expression, “About Tang Juanzi.”
“Come in.” Jiang Su released the door and walked into the house.
The early spring night was still cold, but the house was warm. Shen Xiumo, who had been in the cold wind all the way, let out an involuntary sigh of comfort.
The sigh was very soft, but Jiang Su still noticed it.
He poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Shen Xiumo.
Shen Xiumo was surprised by Jiang Su’s thoughtfulness, glanced deeply at Jiang Su, and then reached out to take it, “Thank you.”
After taking a sip from the cup, Shen Xiumo felt like he had come back to life.
“I’ve said it before, I didn’t do anything to Tang Juanzi,” Jiang Su sat down opposite Shen Xiumo.
Shen Xiumo placed the cup on the coffee table, “I know it wasn’t you. I think you should have guessed it was Huo Qingyan.”
A short sentence, yet it contained much information.
Shen Xiumo knew it was Huo Qingyan, yet he drove to find him.
He simply wanted Jiang Su to persuade Huo Qingyan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Su’s expression turned cold.
“I can’t help you.” He didn’t want to have anything to do with Huo Qingyan anymore.
Shen Xiumo showed no surprise. He could sense that Jiang Su truly didn’t want to deal with Huo Qingyan.
Shen Xiumo propped his hands on his knees, silent for a moment, before speaking solemnly, “You should know that I’ve been competing with Huo Qingyan, and I’ve lost every time.”
“The initial purpose of this divorce variety show was indeed to upset Huo Qingyan. I didn’t expect the popularity to be so high. I now want to make this show a success. Everyone is looking forward to you and Tang Juanzi clashing on the show. If Tang Juanzi’s scandals aren’t handled, she’ll have to withdraw from the show, and the audience will lose anticipation, which is a huge loss for the show.”
“If you can help me with this, I’ll be eternally grateful.”
After hearing Shen Xiumo’s words, Jiang Su couldn’t help but look at him again.
People from prominent families often have an air of arrogance.
But Shen Xiumo had just admitted that he had lost to Huo Qingyan every time.
He had also frankly stated his desire for Jiang Su and Tang Juanzi to clash on the show.
His honesty made him impossible to dislike.
Although Jiang Su didn’t care about the reason for Huo Qingyan’s sudden attack on Tang Juanzi, he could guess that it was because of him.
What he could think of, Shen Xiumo could naturally think of as well.
But Shen Xiumo hadn’t used this to morally bind Jiang Su, asking him to persuade Huo Qingyan.
Instead, he expressed his sincerity in wanting Jiang Su’s help from a boss’s standpoint.
Having said this much, both emotionally and rationally, he should give Shen Xiumo this favor.
Jiang Su looked at Shen Xiumo, “Okay.”
Shen Xiumo didn’t expect Jiang Su to agree so readily and was momentarily stunned.
The young man in front of him was still wearing pajamas, and when his clean and bright eyes looked over, it was beautiful like a painting, possessing a calming beauty.
It was a gaze that could easily move people’s hearts.
“I’ll change my clothes and leave.” Jiang Su stood up.
Shen Xiumo recovered from his daze and nodded vaguely.
After changing clothes, Jiang Su followed Shen Xiumo downstairs.
At the car, Shen Xiumo even proactively opened the passenger door for Jiang Su.
