Huo XIwen looked at him. Although she did not agree with his theory, she knew in her heart that his words were not without reason.
"But even so, she can"t choose to cover up for that bad guy when we stand up for her right? Why would she want to do that to us?" Huo XIwen frowned.
"So there is an old saying?" Poor people must have something to hate, and that"s how it came about. Your friend"s plight, though pathetic, is not worth our sympathy. Maybe she doesn"t need our sympathy either. A woman who can endure humiliation like this, I believe that in her heart, she is very powerful. Perhaps in the near future, she will also become a strong person. " Chen Zi Chen said.
"I think if she continues like this, she won"t become an expert. There will only be more people bullying her." Huo Xi Wen said.
Chen Zicheng smiled and stopped arguing with her.
"Oh right, speaking of which, you seem to know a lot about the entertainment industry. You"ve had contact with people in this circle before? " Huo XIwen suddenly asked.
"This …" Chen Zi Chen coughed lightly as he heard this, dodging the question.
Seeing his strange expression, Huo Xi Wen could not help but say: "Could it be …" Have you dated anyone in this circle? "
"That... It"s just that when I was young, I was just messing around. " Chen Zi Chen said as he tried to cover it up.
"When young? "Mr. Chen, may I ask how old you are this year?" Huo XIwen nearly burst out laughing as he asked.
"Aiya, it"s a long time ago anyway. It"s all in the past now. Ever since I met you, you"re the only one in my heart. " Chen Zicheng took the opportunity to express his loyalty.
Huo XIwen was afraid that he would continue, so he hurriedly made a "stop" gesture, "Alright, let"s not talk about this anymore. "Um, let me ask you. Tell me, when your Mommy saw us at the venue today, did she misunderstand our relations.h.i.+p just like everyone else?"
"What is it? Are you afraid she"ll misunderstand? " Chen Zi Chen asked.
"Of course, she is an elder. I understand the thoughts of the elders too well. If she really thinks that there is something between us and doesn"t explain it clearly in time, when the misunderstanding gets deeper and deeper, explaining later will only hurt their feelings. " As someone who had gone through many things, Huo XIwen had a profound experience after his marriage to Su Chen Hao.
Back then when she and Su Chen had divorced, Mrs. Huo had been so heartbroken that she hadn"t eaten for days. In the end, she had even fainted and was sent to the hospital. It was clear how much of a blow that incident had dealt her.
"Don"t worry, my mommy is an understanding person. Even if she misunderstands our relations.h.i.+p, before I personally admit it, she won"t take it for granted that there must be something between us." Chen Zi Chen comforted her.
Hearing this, Huo XIwen felt rea.s.sured. "That"s good. I think Aunt is an enlightened person, and should be more open-minded than my Mommy."
While the two of them were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The butler went over to open the door and said to them: "Mr. Chen, Miss Huo. There is a Miss Jiang who is looking for you two."
"Surnamed Jiang?" "Jiang Zhixin?" Huo XIwen could only think of her, and then he raised his head to look at Chen Zichen. "What else has she come here for?"
"I think I"m here to explain things to you." Chen Zicheng said to the butler, "Invite her in."
"Yes." The butler turned around and walked to the door. A moment later, Jiang Zhixin was standing in front of them.
"Miss Huo, Mr. Chen." Her head drooped slightly, her expression was a little awkward, and her voice was soft.
"Did you have business with us?" In the end, she was Luo Qingyun"s friend. Although Huo Xiwen could not accept her earlier actions, she could not bring herself to care about them so she asked.
Jiang Zhixin stood on the spot, appearing very cautious.
Seeing the situation, Chen said to the butler, "Bring Miss Jiang a cup of hot tea."
He then turned to Jiang Zhixin and said, "Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, please sit down first."
She slowly sat down on the sofa behind her, raised her head, and looked apologetically at Huo XIwen, "Miss Huo, I"m sorry. You"ve troubled you with what happened tonight."
"Don"t say it like that, aren"t we still unable to help Miss Jiang?" Huo XIwen said in a slightly mocking tone.
Jiang Zhixin was not a fool. It was impossible for her to not hear the mockery in Huo XIwen"s words. However, she understood even more clearly that she had truly been wrong tonight.
"I know that you two must despise me greatly in your hearts. You think that I have no principles and am weak at the same time. But I am still very grateful to the two of you for coming forward at this crucial time and speaking a few words of justice for me. " Jiang Zhixin"s voice was very soft and gentle, just like how she looked on the surface. It was soft and without any hint of aggression, harmless to man or beast.
"No, I don"t understand. Isn"t he just a lousy director? Why are you so afraid of him? If you expose his true face, will he be able to eat you? "Besides, why wouldn"t you dare to do that with me and Chen Zicheng backing you up?" Huo XIwen couldn"t hold back his temper any longer, and asked in the end.
"No, I"m not afraid of him." Jiang Zhixin shook her head and denied it.
"Then why are you not afraid of him? "He did that to you, and you still want to protect him? What are you after?" Huo Xiwen asked.
"You might laugh at me if you say it, but since you"ve helped me, I have to give you an explanation. "Miss Huo, do you remember when I was chatting with Qingyun before, I mentioned that Zhou Yi?" Jiang Zhixin asked.
"Of course I do. Isn"t he at the resort tonight?"
"Yes. The Director Zheng you saw tonight was recommended to me by him. " Jiang Zhi thought.
"What?" You and that Zhou Yi, didn"t you... "Why would he introduce you to such a lowly director?" Huo XIwen didn"t understand.
"Although Director Zheng"s character is bad, he still has the talent to be a director. He was one of the more famous commercial directors. Zhou Yi wanted me to be the female lead in his new movie, but he also knew that with my current strength, wanting to take over this role was almost impossible. Moreover, his fiancee, Luo Jing, has been trying to interfere in my plans and doesn"t want me to succeed. I just wanted to prove it to them. I could, and even if they got in my way, I could still win. This is a very good opportunity for me to get on the big screen. As long as this movie succeeds, I will have the chance to go from a third-rate commercial actress to a movie star. So no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I still have to go. " When Jiang Zhixin said these words, her tone was surprisingly calm, as if she was telling the story of someone else. Only when she reached the end of her story, her hands tightly clenched into fists, as if she was cheering herself on.
