Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 98

Although the idea was quite good, using the same trick too often would be perceived as cheap. After much hesitation, Song Qingxing decided to ask Yu Zhi to go to the supermarket to buy some fruit for her instead.

“Didn’t you, Sister Song, say you wanted to send a gift? Why aren’t you going yourself?”

“A gift only has meaning if it’s carefully selected.”

Yu Zhi was confused, but not quite understanding the situation, she inquired.

“No, if I went to the supermarket now, Xie Jingcheng might come back and not see me, and her mood would get even worse.”

Having shared a bed for so long, Song Qingxing had a good grasp of the other person’s temper. Xie Jingcheng looked harmless and non-threatening.

In reality, she was quite formidable, and one must never let one’s guard down.

“Alright.”

Yu Zhi planned to take the driver’s car. Just a few steps later, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She opened it and found that Song Qingxing had sent her a large red packet.

My dear Yu Zhi, please help me pick out some sweet fruits.

Yu Zhi: …

She didn’t know when Sister Song had become so greasy and clingy. She used to reply to messages with a cold, haughty ‘Mm,’ like she was better than everyone.

And she never used her own emojis, but now she seemed to accept them quickly and was using them liberally in her messages.

Don’t worry, the task you gave me, I will definitely complete it.

Yu Zhi was still a reliable assistant. After replying, she turned off her phone and urged the driver to go to the nearest large supermarket.

Big supermarkets have high foot traffic, and the fruits are very fresh.

Watching Yu Zhi get into the car, Song Qingxing didn’t idle. Instead, she asked a few staff members and found out the general direction Xie Jingcheng had gone.

Song Qingxing circled around for a bit and finally saw Xie Jingcheng leaning against a railing.

The other person seemed to be in a bad mood, holding her phone and staring at a pool of emerald green water.

“Why are you staring at this stagnant water?”

Song Qingxing looked at the green water, feeling a little scared in her heart, as she had died in a similar pool in her previous life.

“Bad mood.”

Xie Jingcheng answered directly.

Song Qingxing’s eyes widened, a little surprised that an actress who always got whatever she wanted would have such bothersome issues.

So, she half-bent down, reached out, cupped Xie Jingcheng’s cheeks, and gently kneaded the flesh of her cheeks, watching her lips pout.

“Why are you in a bad mood? Do you mind telling me?”

“I was lectured by Uncle An.”

Xie Jingcheng didn’t mind and chose to tell the truth. Perhaps it was because she had been too cold in her handling of An Wenqing, which had invited scolding and questioning.

Uncle An… which Uncle An in this world could lecture the arrogant Xie Jingcheng? Even her own parents were somewhat reserved when facing Xie Jingcheng.

Song Qingxing initially found it strange, but the next moment she realized it must be An Wenqing’s father.

In fact, after being threatened by An Wenqing over the phone, Song Qingxing had carefully investigated An family’s background. Although she was a top-tier actress, the information she knew was certainly more than what was on Baidu, the online encyclopedia.

But not by much.

The An family’s main enterprises are also abroad, and they are mining magnates, extracting countless rare minerals and iron ore every year.

Facing such a powerful corporation, it was no wonder An Wenqing could be so arrogant.

Song Qingxing sometimes wondered if she would be even more arrogant if she had the other person’s status.

The An family and the Xie family are generational friends, so An Wenqing’s father scolding Xie Jingcheng made sense.

“This is clearly his daughter’s fault, how dare he still have the cheek to lecture you!”

Song Qingxing indignantly protested, but because she used too much force, red marks appeared on Xie Jingcheng’s face. She noticed that the other person was a little uncomfortable, so she quickly let go.

“Sorry, I forgot to hold back just now.”

Song Qingxing was a little embarrassed. Even though the pool next to her was very similar to the place where she died in her previous life.

But in order to comfort Xie Jingcheng, who was currently feeling down, Song Qingxing still took a deep breath and sat on the railing beside her.

She temporarily overcame the fear of death.

“There’s no need to dwell on what others say. If you do, you won’t be happy every day.”

Song Qingxing slowly approached Xie Jingcheng and saw the other person smile.

“I’m not that sad. It’s just that it’s the first time I’ve been scolded so harshly by someone, so I’m a little unaccustomed to it.”

“But I’m very happy that you’re comforting me like this.”

Xie Jingcheng had just suddenly received a phone call, and the person on the other end was an elder who gave her a non-stop barrage of scolding. She couldn’t hang up and could only silently endure it.

After finally hanging up the phone, her mind was still filled with some vulgar words, which kept ‘buzzing’ and couldn’t be eliminated.

Xie Jingcheng reached out and held Song Qingxing’s hand.

“Let’s go, my mindset has almost recovered now.”

Xie Jingcheng was not someone who would be affected by external comments. After all, she had entered the entertainment industry. Even if she did well, countless keyboard warriors would still jump out to criticize her.

Therefore, Xie Jingcheng had long learned to indifferently accept those abusive words.

“Really?”

Song Qingxing was still a little unconvinced. After all, thinking empathetically, if she had been scolded for so long, she would surely be angry for a few days and nights and be unable to sleep.

“Really.”

Xie Jingcheng nodded.

She really had no reason to deceive her. Song Qingxing did not question her anymore, but still actively reached out and held the other person’s palm. People often need the warmth provided by their partners when they are vulnerable.

Xie Jingcheng’s heart paused for a moment, and the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. She still slowly tightened her grip on the other person’s fingers.

The two walked through the long corridor.

Xie Jingcheng remembered that she had sensed Song Qingxing’s body tremble for a moment just now, and finally couldn’t help but ask.

“When you first came up to me, you seemed to be afraid of something. Was it because my face was too grumpy?”

She was worthy of being an actress, still paying attention to her image management at this moment. Song Qingxing didn’t want to be misunderstood, so she gently shook her head.

“That’s not the reason.”

“I just felt that the pool water was a bit smelly. It’s a miracle you could talk on the phone next to it for so long.”

Xie Jingcheng: …

Well, she had overthought it.

The two left the set. At that time, the fiery sunset glow hung in the sky. The scenery was quite beautiful, and everyone’s shadow was stretched long by the setting sun.

“Where is your assistant?”

Xie Jingcheng was in a much better mood. She didn’t care that Uncle An scolded her for being ungrateful, not taking care of An Wenqing, only caring about her own happiness, and being selfish.

Because letting go now was the best choice.

If she showed any more kindness, An Wenqing would only treat it as a life-saving straw and continue to cling to her, unable to extricate herself.

So, this time, I’ll be the villain. Wenqing, I hope you don’t hate me.

Song Qingxing heard the question, placed a finger on her lips, and gave a deliberately profound smile.

“It’s a secret, but I can reveal a little bit to you: I’m preparing a surprise for you.”
