Chapter 64: I’ve Never Seen Jiang Su Like This
After pausing, the cameras shut off, and Xu Ce angrily approached Jiang Su.
“Jiang Su! What the hell is wrong with you?!” Xu Ce gritted his teeth, reaching for Jiang Su’s collar.
His ferocious expression seemed like he wanted to beat Jiang Su up.
Jiang Su sat still on the sofa, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
The production team wouldn’t let Xu Ce actually hit someone.
As Jiang Su expected, Xu Ce couldn’t get close to him and was stopped.
It was Cheng Xishi who stopped him.
He held Xu Ce’s arm, gently persuading him, “Teacher Xu, this is a recording; so many people are watching; it might cause misunderstandings.”
Cheng Xishi’s career had been booming for the past two years; he had non-stop filming and commercial activities, but ups and downs were common in the entertainment industry.
Xu Ce had also been hugely popular, and didn’t look down on newcomers like Cheng Xishi who lacked background.
Xu Ce sized up Cheng Xishi and snorted disdainfully: “It’s none of your business!”
These newcomers were so out of line; they even dared to interfere with him!
Xu Ce tried to shake off Cheng Xishi’s hand. After a tug, he found Cheng Xishi’s grip tighter and couldn’t shake him off.
He angrily kicked Cheng Xishi: “Let go!”
The kick landed on Cheng Xishi’s shin, causing him to grimace. He usually had good expression control, only tightening his lips and frowning slightly, not showing how much it hurt.
Others thought Xu Ce was going too far, but seeing Cheng Xishi’s face didn’t change much, they assumed it didn’t hurt that much.
Dong Xinyue realized the production team was intentionally letting Xu Ce cause trouble.
If this continued, it wouldn’t work, so she tried to persuade Xu Ce, “Xu Ce, the show still needs to be recorded; let’s take a step back.”
The production team had offered very generous terms when inviting them.
Those who wanted money were given money; those who wanted resources were promised resources.
But the condition was that as long as they were alive, they couldn’t quit the show; otherwise, they’d have to pay a huge penalty.
Persuaded by Dong Xinyue, Xu Ce calmed down.
Xu Ce glanced at Jiang Su, his expression arrogant: “As long as Jiang Su apologizes publicly during the recording and promises not to mention my divorce again, we’re done.”
With Xu Ce willing to compromise, Dong Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to Jiang Su, smiling warmly: “Jiang Su, what do you think?”
Jiang Su remained silent, expressionlessly standing up from the sofa and slowly walking towards Xu Ce.
Xu Ce narrowed his eyes, observing Jiang Su.
Had this kid finally gotten scared?
Was he going to apologize?
The next second…
A scream echoed through the studio.
“Ahh—” Xu Ce hugged his leg, which Jiang Su had just kicked, grimacing in pain and hopping on one foot.
Staff rushed over at the scream.
“What happened?”
Tang Juanzi quickly spoke up: “Jiang Su kicked Teacher Xu.”
Shen Man also arrived: “Where did he kick him?”
Xu Ce painfully squeezed out a word: “Leg…”
Shen Man instructed her assistant: “Call a doctor.”
Then, Shen Man turned to Jiang Su: “Jiang Su, how could you kick someone?”
Jiang Su was composed: “I saw Teacher Xu kick Cheng Xishi’s leg, and he didn’t say anything, so I thought it didn’t hurt, and I tried it on Teacher Xu.”
It turned out Xu Ce screamed like a pig.
“So that’s how it is…” Shen Man had been busy calling Shen XiuMo to report the situation and hadn’t seen Xu Ce kick Cheng Xishi.
Cheng Xishi was an artist under Huangsheng Media, signed by Shen Man.
Xu Ce had dared to kick someone from Huangsheng!
A doctor rushed over: “Who’s injured?”
“My leg…” Xu Ce started, but was interrupted by Shen Man.
Shen Man pointed to Cheng Xishi: “Here, his leg is injured.”
Xu Ce: ??
Damn it, wasn’t the doctor for him?
Cheng Xishi rolled up his pants; his shin was bruised.
Others turned to look at Xu Ce.
Xu Ce’s expression faltered: “Cheng Xishi insisted on holding me! I subconsciously…”
Jiang Su smirked, looking at Xu Ce: “I also subconsciously kicked Teacher Xu; I hope Teacher Xu is magnanimous and won’t mind.”
What a damn subconscious action.
Anyone with eyes could see Jiang Su deliberately walked up to Xu Ce and kicked him.
Jiang Su’s ability to lie with a straight face was something others hadn’t seen before, and even Huo Qingyan, who had just arrived with Shen XiuMo, had never seen it.
He and Jiang Su had known each other for over ten years.
Jiang Su had always been a good boy in front of him.
He rarely saw Jiang Su lose his temper, and had never seen his malicious side.
Shen XiuMo said with interest, “I really didn’t know Jiang Su had such a violent temper.”
Shen XiuMo had just arrived, having bumped into Huo Qingyan who unexpectedly appeared outside, and he heard from the staff that Xu Ce and Jiang Su had fought.
They rushed inside and heard Xu Ce’s pig-like screams at the studio entrance.
Jiang Su was standing there unharmed.
It didn’t look like a fight, so he asked the staff to clarify the situation.
Shen XiuMo put his arm around Huo Qingyan’s: “When Jiang Su was with you, was his temper this bad?”
Huo Qingyan hadn’t seen Jiang Su for a while.
His gaze lingered on Jiang Su almost greedily.
After hearing Shen XiuMo’s question, Huo Qingyan didn’t immediately respond.
Shen XiuMo had just asked casually and didn’t care about Huo Qingyan’s answer.
Served him right for being dumped by Jiang Su.
If it were him, he couldn’t stand Huo Qingyan, someone who couldn’t utter a word without being provoked.
After a long while, Huo Qingyan suddenly said, “No.”
Shen XiuMo was stunned, realizing Huo Qingyan was answering his question.
Shen XiuMo was unenthusiastic: “Oh.”
Huo Qingyan said again, “I’ve never seen Jiang Su like this.”
His voice was almost a whisper; if Shen XiuMo hadn’t been standing next to him, he almost wouldn’t have heard.
Shen XiuMo’s expression gradually became serious.
After a while, he thoughtfully said, “Then Jiang Su was really good to you.”
It was rare for Shen XiuMo not to mock him, so Huo Qingyan looked at him in surprise.
However, Shen XiuMo only kept a serious expression for a moment.
He met Huo Qingyan’s gaze and said gloatingly, “But he’s not yours anymore, hahaha…”
