After Song Shi left, Jiang Chen smiled at Yuan Shu gently. Even his eyes were filled with affection.
She was still in a daze. She had been conflicted about what that familiar feeling was. This feeling had been bothering her ever since she finished filming. Why did it slip away every time she tried to remember
Yuan Shu was never someone who forgot things easily. On the contrary, she had a good memory. Back then, when she was in charge of the entire general’s residence, she remembered the names of dozens of servants in the entire residence, as well as the things they had to do.
Even in the military camp, Yuan Shu had an amazing memory. As long as it was an array formation that she had seen before, even if it had been a long time already, she could display it perfectly.
However, she had forgotten about Jiang Chen too many times, as if she was in a dream. Every time she struggled in the dream, she would wake up and the things that she had painstakingly remembered would all slip away.
Jiang Chen called out to her, “Yuan Shu?”
After Yuan Shu came back to her senses, she looked at him in confusion. Jiang Chen was no longer just a mystery to her. Yuan Shu was sure that she must have seen Jiang Chen a long time ago!
Jiang Chen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he asked with a smile, “Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
Yuan Shu didn’t answer and only stared at him. After a long time, she asked, “Who are you?”
Jiang Chen was still smiling, but his tone was very serious. “I’m Mu Zhou, and I’m also Jiang Chen.”
Yuan Shu was still suspicious, and her intention wasn’t to ask about his ident.i.ty at all. What Yuan Shu wanted to know more was how he met her a long time ago.
Zhang Chao had just come from the director’s place, so he didn’t hear Song Shi call Jiang Chen’s name. Naturally, he didn’t know Jiang Chen’s ident.i.ty.
Ever since the filming started, Yuan Shu’s phone had been with Zhang Chao. When Zhang Chao was communicating with the director, her phone kept ringing, so he looked for Yuan Shu the moment he came out.
When he saw Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou standing together from afar, he immediately ran over.
“Madam Shi! Mr. Shi has been calling you. I couldn’t find you anywhere, so I answered the call for you. Mr. Shi said that he wants you to call him back.”
Zhang Chao’s appearance broke the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. Yuan Shu stopped looking at Jiang Chen and took the cell phone to call Shi Xiao.
The call was picked up very quickly. It was obvious that Shi Xiao had been waiting for Yuan Shu to call back.
Yuan Shu asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
Shi Xiao’s tone was calm, and he wasn’t annoyed by the long wait. “It’s nothing.
1 just wanted to ask when you’ll come back from the set?”
The set was a film studio that was located in the suburbs and was very far from downtown, so it wasn’t very convenient to go back. Yuan Shu stayed in the hotel arranged by the production team during the few days when her scenes were more concentrated.
Yuan Shu was curious. She had just left home in the afternoon. Why was he in such a hurry to ask her when she was going back?
She thought about the schedule and said, “I have a lot of scenes these two days, so I might have to wait a few days. Is there something urgent?”
After Shi Xiao thought about it, he decided not to tell her yet, so he replied, “There’s nothing urgent. I’m just asking about your schedule. I plan to pick you up when you come back.”
“Okay, is there anything else?”
“No.”
After hanging up, Shi Xiao tapped his fingers on the desk while making a rhythmic sound.
After he came back to the country, he found out that Yuan Shu borrowed one million yuan from Shi Lu and invested in a new software company.
At first, because he was suspicious of Yuan Shu, he wanted to use this as a trump card to force Yuan Shu to get a divorce.
Later on, he began to admire Yuan Shu and they became allies. Shi Xiao could completely understand why he wanted to invest in a company to earn some money, so he never mentioned this matter.
But today, when he was investigating Yuan An’s situation, he actually saw this company. He vaguely felt that something was wrong and was worried that this company was trying to hack into Yuan An’s system. However, if he took action, this company definitely wouldn’t be able to continue operating. Then Yuan Shu’s money…
However, Shi Xiao thought about it again. It was just a million yuan. If Yuan Shu wanted it, even if it was ten million yuan, Shi Xiao wouldn’t hesitate. Hence, he decided not to tell her about this for the time being..
