After Giving Up, My Rich Ex-Husband Begged Me to Return CHAPTER 66
Chapter 66 I Never Joke
Shen Xiumo was completely distraught. “Being dumped and being cheated on are not the same thing!”
Huo Qingyan thoughtfully nodded. “Hmm, it sounds like you had it worse.”
Shen Xiumo clenched his fists, glaring at Huo Qingyan.
He wanted to fight…
But he was afraid he couldn’t win.
After all, Huo Qingyan was also trained in martial arts.
“Brother, are you finished?” Shen Man’s voice came from afar. “We need to start recording here.”
Shen Xiumo let out a long sigh of relief and turned to Jiang Su. “Go record the show first.”
Jiang Su originally intended to leave directly.
But seeing Shen Xiumo’s almost dead expression, he kindly said, “Mr. Shen, don’t worry, I won’t mention your matter on the show.”
Shen Xiumo: “Just go record the show!!”
Just let him die already.
Can this matter be over yet?
Jiang Su ignored Huo Qingyan and left directly.
Shen Xiumo had always competed with Huo Qingyan since childhood, always losing.
Therefore, his resilience was quite strong.
He quickly adjusted his emotions.
Shen Xiumo felt like he had been reborn.
The reborn Shen Xiumo launched another verbal attack on Huo Qingyan: “He’s gone, and you’re still watching? What’s the use of acting so affectionate now? Why didn’t you do this earlier?”
Huo Qingyan ignored him and walked in another direction.
That seemed to be the direction of the control room.
What was Huo Qingyan doing?
Wasn’t he going to sabotage the recording?
Damn it! This was a show he worked so hard for!
“Huo Qingyan, stop right there!”
Shen Xiumo chased after him. “Just pretend I farted, okay? Do you have to be so petty?”
He chased to the control room and found that Huo Qingyan was only standing aside watching the monitor.
Shen Xiumo cautiously asked Huo Qingyan, “You… you’re just watching?”
Huo Qingyan responded without much emotion: “Yeah.”
Fame, power, money – he seemed to possess everything that people envied.
But all of this was useless to him now.
Jiang Su wouldn’t look at him twice because of these things.
And he could do nothing, only watch Jiang Su from afar.
Huo Qingyan stood silently behind the director, calmly watching the monitor, his presence commanding respect without needing to speak.
The staff in the control room involuntarily sat up straight, their every move becoming cautious.
Shen Xiumo was unhappy.
He was the boss, wasn’t he?
When he came to inspect the work before, the staff hadn’t been this serious and attentive.
It was as if Huo Qingyan were the boss!
Shen Xiumo snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, imitating Huo Qingyan’s posture and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, stay focused. I’ll treat you all to late-night snacks after work.”
The staff responded enthusiastically, “Thank you, Mr. Shen!”
Shen Xiumo felt a little bit of the presence he should have as the boss, and felt a little happier.
…
Inside the studio.
While the director’s team was adjusting the equipment, Cheng Xishi leaned over and quietly asked Jiang Su, “What did Mr. Shen say to you?”
Jiang Su pursed his lips before saying, “He told me to speak less.”
His tone was a little uneasy.
Cheng Xishi smiled. “I’m not angry with you.”
Last time, Huo Qingyan had secretly intervened, causing his film’s press conference to almost be cancelled, and Jiang Su had blocked his WeChat and phone number.
He guessed that Jiang Su must have been forced by Huo Qingyan, but Jiang Su said it was voluntary.
And when he first entered, when he proactively spoke to Jiang Su, Jiang Su’s reaction was also cold.
He thought Jiang Su really didn’t want to deal with him.
But just now, Jiang Su was angry about Xu Ce kicking him and kicked Xu Ce back.
He understood that Jiang Su didn’t want to ignore him; Jiang Su probably thought he was still angry about the previous incident.
Hearing Cheng Xishi’s words, Jiang Su felt even worse.
Last time, Cheng Xishi was implicated by him, and his new film almost couldn’t be released on schedule. Not only did Cheng Xishi not blame him, but he also kindly advised him.
But at that time, he was like a possessed ghost, completely unable to listen to others, and even thought Cheng Xishi was interfering.
But not long after, he divorced Huo Qingyan.
Cheng Xishi’s purpose in saying those things was for his own good, and what he said was right.
Thinking back now, Jiang Su still felt a little guilty.
Jiang Su lowered his head slightly and said softly, “You should be angry.”
“We’re friends, how can friends be angry about such a small thing?”
Cheng Xishi’s voice was full of laughter, his tone so gentle that Jiang Su felt ashamed.
Cheng Xishi added, “After the recording, remove me from your blacklist.”
Jiang Su nodded, looking up at him. “Let’s go eat late-night snacks after the recording?”
Cheng Xishi smiled and agreed. “Okay.”
Jiang Su also smiled.
Huo Qingyan and Shen Xiumo in the control room saw Jiang Su and Cheng Xishi talking and laughing.
Shen Xiumo’s voice was sour. “Jiang Su and Cheng Xishi have a pretty good relationship.”
Huo Qingyan’s expression was cold, and he didn’t speak.
Shen Xiumo looked at Huo Qingyan incredulously. “You can tolerate this?”
Shen Xiumo, as Cheng Xishi’s boss, naturally knew about Huo Qingyan’s previous actions against Cheng Xishi’s new film, almost preventing its release.
He had been prepared to confront Huo Qingyan, but Huo Qingyan backed down.
It goes without saying that Jiang Su resolved this.
Huo Qingyan asked back, “What else can I do?”
Shen Xiumo: “…” It seemed that there was no other way but to endure.
But Shen Xiumo didn’t give up, he continued to provoke: “When Cheng Xishi and Jiang Su filmed ‘Yesterday’s Funeral’, they lived together for several months, their relationship was unusually close.”
The studio had already started live recording.
Huo Qingyan watched the screen without blinking.
Shen Xiumo gritted his teeth and continued, “Cheng Xishi has such a good personality, so gentle! Let me tell you, both men and women like this kind of gentle personality.”
This time, Huo Qingyan finally reacted.
He turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Xiumo.
Shen Xiumo silently swallowed.
What?
Did he say something too much? Did he finally annoy Huo Qingyan, and Huo Qingyan was going to fight him?
Shen Xiumo began to regret why he was so garrulous.
After a long time, just when Shen Xiumo thought Huo Qingyan was about to make a move, Huo Qingyan said, “I want to be on the show too.”
Shen Xiumo thought he had misheard. “What? Say it again.”
Huo Qingyan, rarely patient, repeated, “I want to be on the show, this ‘After Divorce, Are You Happy?’ show.”
Shen Xiumo looked at Huo Qingyan expressionlessly. “Are you kidding me?”
Huo Qingyan’s face was cold. “I never joke.”
“Uh…” Shen Xiumo’s face also turned cold. “I’m not letting you on.”
Huo Qingyan’s tone was exceptionally serious. “I’m also divorced, why can’t I be on?”
