Chapter 6

After returning from the civil affairs bureau, Fang Xianxing felt a pent-up frustration in her heart. She continued to work as usual, but her mind would wander from time to time.

She wondered if Xie Zhi was happy now that he hadn’t gotten his family’s consent form signed.

However, in reality, Xie Zhi’s matters had nothing to do with her anymore. What did it matter if he was happy or not?

The ring had been mailed to the company five days ago.

Her parents had called to inquire three days ago.

It seemed that Xie Zhi’s mother and father had personally visited to apologize, taking full responsibility for the last-minute cancellation of the wedding.

The fathers of both families were teachers at the same middle school and had been colleagues for many years. They spoke to each other without hiding anything and also explained Xie Zhi’s willful reasons.

Fang Xianxing’s mother and father were shocked. They didn’t even know that Fang Xianxing had taken Xie Zhi to the civil affairs bureau. Thinking about it this way, Fang Xianxing’s fault naturally seemed greater.

Both families were respectable people. They mutually yielded and turned the big issue into a small one over a family meal, laughing it off, leaving only Fang Xianxing feeling depressed.

This depression did not diminish in the slightest even after several days.

She felt very irritated, with an inexpressible sense of dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

Therefore, when the director of the “Yuan Shun Empress” crew, in which Song Longsha was participating, invited her to dinner, Fang Xianxing accepted.

Even knowing the style of the banquet prepared for investors, Fang Xianxing still went.

As soon as she entered the private room, her eyes lit up. Nearly half the table was filled with handsome male actors. Her younger sister, Song Longsha, was also present, sitting in the corner, secretly making eyes at her.

Ever since learning that Fang Xianxing had accepted the invitation, Song Longsha had sent her several rounds of text message bombardment.

Asking her what she was doing, wasn’t she just married? She couldn’t just carelessly go out and flirt around just because she had a cornerstone at home. Wasn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

Moreover, those seemingly handsome young actors, away from the limelight, were not as dazzling as Xie Zhi.

Anyway, Song Longsha did not agree. Xie Zhi had just become her brother-in-law, and now he had to encounter her sister’s infidelity. How unlucky was that?

What brother-in-law?

Fang Xianxing inwardly sneered, but should she really tell Song Longsha? She remained silent, not sending out a single word.

Even now, Song Longsha’s text messages had not received a single word in response. She could only take the initiative to attend tonight’s banquet, planning to find an opportunity to ask for clarification and incidentally keep an eye on her sister for her new brother-in-law.

Although she had been infatuated with the cold and beautiful type like Xie Zhi when she was young and ignorant, they had little contact after all, leaving only a light trace. Last time, she was suddenly shocked into stupidity upon hearing that Xie Zhi was actually going to marry her sister.

Now that her sister was bleeding heavily to pave the way for her, how could she have a falling out with Fang Xianxing?

Fang Xianxing did not accept her well-intentioned efforts and directly sat down in the seat arranged by the director.

Once she was seated, the banquet began to liven up.

Director Su Mu had just made a name for herself in recent years. She had the ability and ambition to engage in art, and she was not pedantic. She was even very clear that in order to achieve some difficult goals, it was necessary to conform to some rules and take advantage of favorable winds.

Therefore, she took the initiative to invite Fang Xianxing, the investor who had solved her urgent need, and brought people over, prepared to please the investor and get closer to her.

Seeing that a clever young actor had already found a way to sit next to Fang Xianxing, she smiled and pretended not to notice.

Fang Xianxing slightly raised her eyebrows but did not move.

A young man with clear and handsome features and light brown eyes came over with a glass of wine to toast her, stammering for a long time without finishing a sentence.

Timid and clumsy, he evoked pity, but what was written in his eyes was clear at a glance.

She couldn’t help but compare him to Xie Zhi in her heart. Xie Zhi truly took advantage of his looks. Even if his acting skills were average, his eyes could easily mislead people’s attention and make them follow his intentions.

Thinking of Xie Zhi again, could it be that she was unwilling to let go after being discontented once and had to keep that scoundrel in her heart?

Fang Xianxing suddenly felt listless. She threw Xie Zhi to the back of her mind and casually asked, “What role do you play?”

“Director Fang, I play Fu Clan.” The young man’s eyes lit up when he heard her ask about the filming. “There aren’t many scenes, only a few.”
