Chapter 1100 - 1010: The Pitiful Have Their Reasons to Be Hated
Only heaven knows how much he wants to see Xu Jiaojiao right now. But things haven’t ended yet; she needs time to arrange everything and to understand the causes and consequences.Xu Jiaojiao asked Qin Miaomiao to investigate the gossip and rumors. After a few days of silence, she finally found out the results. Indeed, there was someone willing to leak information, and that person was even in the same industry.
"There are so many actors, ones I’ve worked with and ones I haven’t. It’s possible that it’s someone I accidentally offended. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack; I really can’t guess."
Xu Jiaojiao complained in a helpless tone, leaving Qin Miaomiao speechless. She knew that the information she had obtained so far wasn’t enough to hold them accountable, but Xu Jiaojiao was such a good person, so she planned to continue seeking the whistleblower.
"Jiaojiao, once this movie is finished filming, I’ll give you a long vacation, take some time abroad to relax."
"I don’t want a vacation," Xu Jiaojiao said, looking at Qin Miaomiao with gentle eyes, feeling an indescribable helplessness in her heart. No matter how much she thought, she couldn’t be sure about the truth of certain things. So, she smiled and said, "I understand your concern. Rather than taking a vacation, I’d prefer to spend the time making money. You don’t think I’m under any pressure, do you? The house loans have to be paid every month, and my financial burden is quite heavy."
Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s words, Qin Miaomiao felt a weight on her heart.
An assistant knocked on the door and came in, reminding them that the afternoon meeting had been moved up. Xu Jiaojiao stood up to say goodbye and looked at Qin Miaomiao, saying, "Don’t worry about my matters. I’ve heard you’re looking for new scripts lately; you must be even busier than I am. I’m off now."
"We’re both equally busy. You shouldn’t always be so formal with me." Qin Miaomiao said as she walked out with Xu Jiaojiao, and then she saw the staircase and said, "Let me walk you out."
"No need, you should go to the meeting. It’s not good to keep so many people waiting; I really don’t want to be labeled as a diva."
Hearing Xu Jiaojiao joke about herself, her heart finally felt a bit more at ease. Thinking that even though she was in a bad mood, she still knew how to make jokes, showing that she was still coping. She watched as Xu Jiaojiao left the company with her assistant.
"Sister Jiaojiao, do you want to rest first? I can ask for a day off from the crew."
Xu Jiaojiao shook her head, "No need, I don’t want to ask for leave from the crew. The sooner we finish filming, the sooner I can rest, let’s go back."
The assistant, seeing how determined Xu Jiaojiao was, didn’t know what to say. With a helpless sigh, she asked the driver to turn back to the crew.
Halfway there, Xu Jiaojiao received a call from Meng Chengjun. She didn’t plan to respond but didn’t expect Meng Chengjun to direct the conversation towards Jin Jingse and even say that there was something important about him to tell Xu Jiaojiao in person.
"Wait outside, I’ll go in to meet someone."
Xu Jiaojiao arrived at the entrance of the café, peering through the glass window to observe the people inside. She saw the woman with her head down playing with her phone, and with a heavy heart, she opened the glass door and walked in.
Xu Jiaojiao didn’t want to see Meng Chengjun at all; she was clearly aware that seeing her would only remind her of unhappy things. She didn’t want her heart to be battered any further. The current situation was the best. She intended to break up in person, whether he was willing or not, her attitude had already been made clear, and the rest was up to him.
"Miss Xu, thank you so much for coming to see me."
Meng Chengjun put on a pitiful face, exactly the kind that Xu Jiaojiao loathed seeing the most. Jin Jing had been drawn to her because of this same expression right from the start, and he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh on her.
