Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2005: 2004 Move to the Front Seat

”Brother, is that Miss Ou?”

Wen Ran looked at the woman standing not far away, wearing a white dress.

She seemed to be about the same age as her.

Following her gaze, Jing Xiaocha also saw Ou Yihan standing in the sunlight, with the white dress highlighting her gentle demeanor.

She smiled, ”Sister Wen, that’s Miss Ou.”

”It seems my intuition is still quite accurate.”

After getting out of the car, Wen Ran and Jing Xiaocha walked hand in hand, with Wen Jin leading the way, they approached Ou Yihan.

After a brief introduction, the four of them entered Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion together.

Once seated in a private room, Ou Yihan smiled warmly and said, ”Miss Wen, I heard Gu Kai talking about you this morning. I was wondering when I would get to meet you, and unexpectedly, it happened at noon.”

Wen Ran glanced at her brother sitting across from her, ”Since you know my two brothers, why don’t we drop the formalities? Just call me Ranran, hearing ’Miss Wen’ feels awkward.”

Wen Ran said as she looked at Jing Xiaocha beside her, ”This is Xiaocha, we consider her like a sister.”

By ’we’, Wen Ran meant herself and Wen Jin.

Before Jing Xiaocha went abroad, Wen Jin was very good to her.

However, their relationship now seemed eerily distant.

Ou Yihan readily agreed, ”Alright, then I’ll call you names from now on. Ranran, Xiaocha, don’t be formal with me, just call me by my name.”

Jing Xiaocha looked at the generously smiling Ou Yihan and politely said, ”Miss Ou and Sister Wen are about the same age, so I’ll call you Sister Ou from now on.”

”I’m very happy to have another sister.”

Ou Yihan’s smile was radiant and bright.

She was a straightforward girl, and after deciding on how to address each other in the future, she then asked with concern, ”Wen Jin, did you tell Xiaocha about the video from last night?”

”I told her.”

Wen Jin, seeing them chatting happily, had a faint smile on his lips.

Ou Yihan then said to Jing Xiaocha, ”Xiaocha, that middle-aged man is not a good person. You should be careful and guard against him in the future.”

Jing Xiaocha agreed with a ’sure’ and thanked Ou Yihan.

The meal was quite enjoyable, and midway through, Wen Ran received a call from Mo Xiuchen and went to the corridor to have a long chat.

When there were only three of them left, Jing Xiaocha quietly ate without interrupting Ou Yihan and Wen Jin’s conversation.

Since Ou Yihan drove herself to Yi Pin Xuan and was also driving to work, Wen Jin didn’t need to take her back to the hospital after lunch.

He dropped off Wen Ran at Haochen before taking Jing Xiaocha home.

With only the two of them left in the car, the atmosphere was slightly stiflingly quiet.

Wen Jin glanced through the mirror at Jing Xiaocha sitting in the back seat, slowed down, and parked by the roadside, ”Move to the front and tell me about the specifics.”

Jing Xiaocha was lost in thought looking out the window and was momentarily unresponsive to Wen Jin suddenly stopping the car and his unexpected words.

Her eyes were blank as she looked at Wen Jin, and two seconds later, she nodded slowly, opened the car door, and moved to the front seat.

Once she fastened her seatbelt, Wen Jin started the engine again, ”Let’s start with Li Minxu. What do you think of him?”

”I used to think he was a good person.”

”How did you come to know him?”

Jing Xiaocha hesitated for a moment, ”It was Jin Zheyu who introduced me to him. He said Li Minxu was quite experienced in the industry and was nice to newcomers. When I was abroad, I only communicated with him via voice or video.”

”So you only met him in person after returning to the country?”

Wen Jin frowned slightly, and it came to mind that Li Minxu was introduced to Jing Xiaocha by Jin Zheyu.

And the one who wanted to adapt Jing Xiaocha’s work into film and television was the Jin Family’s Star Summer Film and Television, which also made such demands?

Last week, at Bai Xiaoxiao’s wedding, Jin Fengjiao publicly claimed that Jing Xiaocha was dating Jin Zheyu, and Jin Zheyu lost face that day.

Reports about Jin Zheyu and Jing Xiaocha lasted for two or three days before gradually being overshadowed by other news and eventually faded away.

Jing Xiaocha had been busy writing for the past few days and refrained from going out.

The Jin Family would definitely not be pleased with that scandal. Wen Jin couldn’t help but speculate whether the Jin Family was behind all this.

”Has Jin Zheyu contacted you these days?”

As Wen Jin spoke, he recalled how that afternoon, when he wanted to find Jing Xiaocha, he saw her walking out of her apartment with Jin Zheyu.

Jing Xiaocha shook her head, ”He came to find me later that afternoon, but after we cleared things up, he hasn’t contacted me since.”

Pressing her lips, Jing Xiaocha asked, ”Brother Wen, do you suspect Jin Zheyu? I trust his character. Even if I rejected him, he wouldn’t do something like this.”

Wen Jin’s expression turned slightly cold, and he spoke calmly, ”You seem to really trust Jin Zheyu.”

Jing Xiaocha felt stifled by his words, and for some reason, she always felt Wen Jin didn’t like Jin Zheyu much. Because of Wen Jin’s dislike, she rarely mentioned Jin Zheyu in front of him.

Still, she couldn’t help but defend herself, ”Senior Jin isn’t like that, and besides, he wouldn’t gain anything by doing that.”

”I never said it was your Senior Jin. You don’t need to keep defending him. Last week, your rumors with him surely upset his parents. Even if it wasn’t Jin Zheyu, it doesn’t mean it couldn’t be other members of the Jin Family.”

Judging by the course of events, Wen Jin thought it was reasonable if someone from the Jin Family was behind it.

Jing Xiaocha didn’t dare to argue further, fearing that saying more might anger Wen Jin.

Remembering once being left behind by him midway, Jing Xiaocha didn’t want to experience that again.

Seeing her silence, Wen Jin also fell silent.

When the car stopped outside the apartment where Jing Xiaocha lived, Wen Jin made a call, instructing someone to investigate Li Minxu and the writer Man Tianxue.

Jing Xiaocha sat quietly in the passenger seat until Wen Jin finished his call and said to her, ”Wait these days, I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news.”

”Thank you, Brother Wen.”

”Go up now.”

Wen Jin said calmly, and Jing Xiaocha opened the car door to get out. Before she could close it, Wen Jin called her back.

Jing Xiaocha leaned into the car, one hand on the door, looking at Wen Jin sitting in the driver’s seat, ”Brother Wen, is there anything else?”

Wen Jin looked at her with a steady gaze, ”Did you return the gift I asked you to last time?”

”Wha-what gift?”

His topics jumped too quickly, and Jing Xiaocha couldn’t keep up with his thoughts at all.

Wen Jin furrowed his brows, thinking she must not have returned it, given her recent focus on writing.

He couldn’t be bothered with more words, so he directly took out his wallet, retrieved all the hundred-yuan bills inside, and handed them to Jing Xiaocha, ”Take this money for now.”
