He has always been a taciturn character. Ningxi has always known that, but she still feels that something is wrong with him now. This kind of silence is not like the usual prudence, it is more like repressing something in the heart, but it is worried about her and does not speak.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to Chang Shigui, and took his hand. His hands were very cold, and the coolness penetrated into Ningxi's heart, and she couldn't help shaking.
"Time to return?"
Chang Shigui walked into the house, closed the door, and looked at Ning Xi with burning eyes, "I went to see someone just now."
"Who?" Ning Xi turned to look at him with a smile on his face.
"Jiang Yuanpeng."
"It turned out to be him..." Ning Xi chuckled, and the laughter echoed in the room, "What is he doing with you, is it for the divorce lawsuit?"
Chang Shigui didn't answer, let go of Ning Xi's hand, and he walked to the window. Although the street lights outside the window were brilliant, there were still too many dark places that could not be illuminated. Ningxi's figure was printed on the window. He looked at the reflection on the window and didn't look back.
The moment he let go of Ning Xi's hand, Ning Xi didn't follow him any more, but just stood there quietly, looking at his back, silently not speaking.
"He came to me not for the divorce lawsuit, but for you."
Ningxi's eyelids trembled slightly, and he walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, clasping his hands on his knees, his voice was a little scary: "What do I have to ask, is it worth him to invite you out?"
After a moment of silence, Changchun went to the edge of the bed, knelt on one knee in front of Ning Xi, looked up into her eyes, Ning Xi turned her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.
"Xixi," Chang Shigui held her hand tightly, "in your heart, what am I? A good man, boyfriend, or someone who can spend a lifetime with you?"
Ningxi's heart trembled, she had never seen Chang Shigui look so unconfident. Ever since the two of them met, Changchun has always been tolerant and gentle to her. He has never been angry with her, and even sunk his face once, as if he would do anything for her as long as she said a good word.
Today was the first time she saw his fragility, sadness, and grief, and she was startled. Even if this man was looked up to by countless people, he didn't have an indestructible body, and he would have times when he was sad.
Ningxi felt like she had been stabbed in the heart, and the pain was unbearable. However, how could she convince him that she did not approach him and stay with him because of revenge on the Jiang family? Even she can't believe such words, how can she say it to win people's trust
"It's time to return," Ning Xi lowered his head and bit his lip, "I'm sorry, I..."
Chang Shigui suddenly stood up, interrupted her, and hurriedly said: "I remember that there are still some things to deal with, you rest first."
Some words cannot be spoken, and once they are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
Ning Xi watched the door close in front of her, stunned, got up and walked to the window, and after a while, she saw the car that Chang Shigui often rides and drove out the door.
Maybe it was because he had slept for too long before, Ning Xi tossed and turned on the bed, and didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. The moonlight outside the window shone into the room through the window screen, and she stared at the moonlight on the ground in a daze.
"Ding Dong." The mobile phone text message sounded, she picked up the phone and glanced at it, the sender was always returning.
Homecoming: Good night.
Ning Xi gently rubbed the edge of the phone until the screen went black, but she didn't think of a suitable reply language.
I always put my mobile phone at hand, and after waiting for a long time, there is no text message from my mobile phone. He sat up from the bed, grabbed the coat at the head of the bed, opened the door and prepared to go back to the villa.
"Time to return?"
The lights in the hallway suddenly turned on, and Changgui squinted his eyes and found his mother standing in the hallway. He frowned, "Mom, why haven't you slept so late?"
"You haven't slept yet?" Tao Huixue asked when she walked to her son and saw that he was wearing only a shirt, the sleeves of the shirt were rolled up and draped, and the bow tie was not tied, so she asked, "You just came back. Are you going out again soon?"
"Mom..." Chang Shigui didn't say that it was because he was worried about Ningxi, so he hurried to go out, which might arouse his mother's dissatisfaction with Ningxi. He put the coat in his hand on his body, "I have something to go out, you go to rest first."
Tao Huixue smiled and said, "Then go back early and drive safely."
Chang Shigui nodded, and as soon as he walked down the stairs, the phone rang. He couldn't wait to take out his phone and unlock the screen.
Sisi: Good night.
With just two words and a period, Chang Changgui stared at it for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.
It turned out that she was not the only one who couldn't sleep.
When Tao Huixue saw her son take a step, she stared at the phone stupidly and coughed twice in a low voice: "When the time comes, don't you want to go out?" She looked up at the large hanging clock hanging on the wall, "It's almost here. It's early morning, and if you don't go out, it will be tomorrow."
Chang Shigui shook his head, replied a text message, and put his phone in his jacket pocket, "If you don't go out, I'll go out tomorrow morning."
Tao Huixue glanced at her son, but she didn't say it all. They were all from here. How could she not see that the young couple were having trouble? But looking at his stupid son like this, he knew that he couldn't let it go at all, and he didn't know if the tossing was for the love between lovers.
Shigui: I can't sleep, I miss you.
Looking at this text message, Ning Xi couldn't help but smile, and gradually fell asleep while holding the phone.
The next morning, she was woken up by Zhang Qingyun's serial killer calls. As soon as she answered the phone, Zhang Qingyun's anxious voice came in.
"Ningxi, someone is smearing you online. It's a little troublesome, is Mr. Chang by your side?"
Ning Xi rolled over and got out of bed and turned on the power of the laptop: "He's not here now, what happened, please tell me slowly."
After the computer was turned on, she clicked on a well-known entertainment news platform. The most conspicuous place on the top was her photo. It was just that she seemed to be kissing a man in the photo, and this man was still very familiar to her. Zhou Zhengchuan.
When she clicked on the entertainment headline titled "On the Internet Rumored that Goddess Ning and Mr. Chang had had a lot of ambiguous boyfriends before dating", she saw a lot of photos posted in it, not only her and several domestic male artists. Photos from a very ambiguous angle, and photos of her with Holt.
The comments under the news are even more unsightly, what is ugly and what is scolded, and the screen is full of hostility.
"Between you and international superstar Holt..." Zhang Qingyun stammered on the other end of the phone. He can be sure that Ningxi has absolutely no ambiguity with these domestic male artists, let alone any intimate actions. The only thing he wasn't sure about was Holt, so he asked specifically.
"He and I are just ordinary friends," Ningxi said coldly, "These photos are just taken on a borrowed position, and they seem specious."
But even though these photos are just enough to make people scold all kinds of ugly words, some people even ridicule Chang Changgui below, saying that no matter how rich a man is, what's the use of it, if you fall in love with a wild horse, you will have a head on it grassland.
Even worse than this kind of words, there are only those that have never been heard, and nothing that is unexpected.
When I opened Weibo, there was a lot of scolding below, and some people deliberately circled the Weibo account of Chang Shigui, to the effect that he could see what kind of woman she was, and that a person like her should not be allowed to marry into the gate of Chang's family. Lost the face of the Chang family.
These people cared more about the Chang family's face than Chang Changgui himself, as if Chang Changgui would become a definite green-hatted man as long as he was with her, and he would lose the face of the men in the world.
Ningxi didn't want to watch any more, so he turned off the computer.
"Boss, something happened."
After eating breakfast with Tao Huixue, he received a call from his assistant. At the same time, the other party sent him a string of Internet addresses, which were full of entertainment reports related to Ningxi.
These media seem to have made an appointment. They all write Ningxi as a woman who provokes men everywhere. She is with Changchun, not because of touching or love, but because Changchun is the richest among these men. Have.
Some of these photos are very blurry, and some are clear, but they do not clearly capture the surrounding environment. The comments below these reports are all endless insults against Ningxi. These people seem to be fighting for him, and they are all filled with righteous indignation.
After reading a few pictures, Chang Shigui didn't read any further, and he called the chief secretary with a sullen face: "I received the latest news that there are great economic hidden dangers within Jiang's company. Our company and Jiang's For the various projects of cooperation, if you can stop cooperation now, stop it immediately, and if you can't stop now, solve it as soon as possible. Before the matter is clarified, Chang will no longer cooperate with Jiang. "
"Okay, boss." After receiving the news, the chief secretary quickly sent this important message to the managers of various departments in the headquarters. When the department managers received the news, they were not surprised at all. Instead, they felt that the day had finally come.
As early as when Tao Minya and Jiang Yuanpeng were getting divorced, the company's executives were thinking about when Chang's cooperation with Jiang's was completely stopped. After waiting for nearly a month, the last boot finally fell to the ground.
When Zhang Qingyun arrived at Ningxi's residence, Ningxi had already changed into his daily clothes, but there was no makeup on his face, and he looked a little haggard.
"The company is already thinking about the public relations strategy, so don't worry." Zhang Qingyun put the purchased breakfast in front of Ningxi, "If you have any ideas now, you can tell me."
Ning Xi took a sip of soy milk and said in a flat tone, "Is the company thinking about a PR strategy, or is it waiting for a response?"
The expression on Zhang Qingyun's face froze. In fact, he also had such doubts in his heart, but as an agent, he couldn't tell Ning Xi like this. He smiled wryly, "I tried to contact some marketing accounts when things first broke out, but the other party didn't let go. Only a few people who have a good relationship with me let me know, saying that it was you this time. You may have offended the nobles, and someone will take care of you."
"Noble?" Ning Xi sneered, "There are many nobles in the imperial capital, but I don't know who the nobleman who wants to deal with me is."
Zhang Qingyun pinched the bridge of his nose. The entertainment industry has always been extremely harsh on female artists. Too beautiful is easy to be scolded as a vase, and too ugly is easy to be laughed at. If romance or relationship between men and women is involved, these onlookers will become Wei Wei. Taoist priests, can't wait for these female artists to meet their high moral standards.
Now to deal with the person behind Ningxi, he saw everyone's harshness towards female entertainers in the entertainment industry, and deliberately posted these specious photos to mislead the public's impression of Ningxi.
In fact, the most important thing is not the public's impression of Ningxi, but... What will Mr. Chang think of Ningxi after seeing these photos
How many men in the world can endure being scolded as a green hat man? He didn't even dare to think about how much influence Mr. Chang would have on Ningxi if he had doubts about Ningxi because of these photos.
These media dared to publish these photos, didn't they just assume that a man like Mr. Chang would definitely not be able to tolerate his girlfriend being ambiguous with other men, wouldn't he deliberately protect Ningxi after the incident got bigger
"I'll write a PR article for you first," Zhang Qingyun gritted his teeth, "Even if other passersby don't believe it, at least keep your fans steady."
He didn't know that he was only halfway through writing the PR when he heard someone knocking on the door.
After opening the door, what he saw was not a person, but countless gorgeous roses.
