Chapter 170
"In the future, between you and Chi Xuan, I will stand firmly on your side and try not to have contact with Chi Xuan."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, but I still hope you can keep your word."
The two of them had reconciled, but they both knew that it would be impossible to return to the previous situation without any cracks, and they both made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter again.
For the next week, Chi Muzhen was busy polishing the design draft with Fan Rao, leaving early and coming back late.
It wasn't until Sister Hong called her that she learned that Zhen Yan had not only been terminated by the crew in the past few days, but was also rumored to be being kept by someone on the Internet.
"Mr. Chi, recent events have hit Yan Yan hard, so if you are free, I hope you can come over and comfort her."
After asking for the address of the hotel where Zhen Yan was staying, Chi Muzhen rushed over directly.
Seeing Chi Muzhen, Zhen Yan was surprised, then frowned and said, "Did Sister Hong ask you to come here?"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Don't blame Sister Hong. If I hadn't been too busy during this period and didn't see the scarf, I would have come here long ago."
"I have nothing to do. Sister Hong just likes to make a fuss."
Chi Muzhen did not continue the topic, walked to Zhen Yan and sat down and said, "Okay, why did the crew suddenly terminate your contract?"
Zhen Yan shrugged, "Bai Xuening's boyfriend is the largest investor in this film. He threatened the director to withdraw funding if he didn't replace me. Under pressure, the director agreed."
Before she became famous, she often encountered this kind of thing, but at that time she was a supporting role, so she could be replaced at will.
She didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to her now that she was a first-line artist.
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Then what's the matter with the Internet saying that you are being kept?"
Hearing this, Zhen Yan's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not because of Liang Zixuan, who ran over to see me after hearing that I was injured, and was photographed by a reporter, so he wrote about it on the Internet!"
"But the reporter must have been afraid of Liang Zixuan's revenge, so he mosaicd my and Liang Zixuan's faces, but I was still recognized."
Seeing her angry expression, Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds.
"What did Liang Zixuan say?"
"What else can I say? If he comes forward to explain, it will confirm that the person in the photo is him, and I don't plan to care about this matter. After a while, when the popularity subsides, no one will pay attention to it anymore."
"Well, I was worried about whether you would be sad about it on the way here. Now that I see you are fine, I feel relieved."
Zhen Yan gave a confident smile and said, "You don't even know who I am. I climbed up from the bottom. How can I be knocked down by such a trivial matter?"
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but smile as well, "Well, you are free now, so you can go out and have fun as a holiday. You haven't had a good rest in the past few years."
Zhen Yan shook her head, "My mother said that my brother is going to buy a house and get married soon, and asked me to give him all the money. There happened to be a TV series that was rejected due to the schedule of "Eternal Life". Now that the movie can't be made, I plan to take it. That play.”
Hearing this, Chi Mu Zhen frowned, "Isn't it enough that you send so much money to your family every year?"
Although Zhen Yan is a star, most of the money she earns from filming goes to her family, and she only has about a few hundred thousand left.
"The woman asked to buy it in the capital, and she was interested in a single-family villa with a price of more than [-] million."
"Yan Yan, I think you should stop giving money to your family like this. After you became a movie queen, you basically gave them all the money you earned every year. In the past, your family was just an ordinary family. Not only did they not thank you, Now I am asking you to buy a wedding house for your brother as a matter of course, I don’t treat you as a family member at all, I just treat you as a cash cow.”
Chi Muzhen originally didn't want to say these words to Zhen Yan. After all, she was just an outsider. The most important thing was for Zhen Yan to recognize the reality.
But she didn't expect that Zhen Yan wasn't completely awake yet.
Zhen Yan pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "I have already told them that this is the last time, and I will not take care of anything at home in the future."
Seeing her firm expression, Chi Muzhen wanted to say something, but in the end she just said slowly: "Okay, just think about it clearly."
The two of them did not continue the topic. After comforting Zhen Yan for a while, Chi Muzhen stood up and planned to leave.
As soon as he opened the door to the room, he saw a woman who looked like a servant about to knock on the door.
Seeing Chi Muzhen, surprise flashed in her eyes, "Miss Chi, why are you here?"
"How did you know me?"
The woman smiled and said, "I am the housekeeper of the Liang family. You, Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi came to the Liang family for a party before, and I have met you."
Chi Zhen and Xu Rou had never taken him to a party outside. It seemed that the other party recognized him as Chi Xuan.
"You've got the wrong person. I'm Chi Muzhen. What's wrong with you coming here?"
The only intersection between Zhen Yan and the Liang family is Liang Zixuan. This time the Liang family's housekeeper came here, it is probably related to the photos taken by the reporters.
Realizing that he had recognized the wrong person, the other party apologized, and then slowly said: "My wife wanted to meet Miss Zhen, so I found her at the address. I didn't expect that the person in the room would be Miss Chi."
Chi Muzhen frowned and was about to speak when Zhen Yan in the room spoke.
"I don't know what Mrs. Liang has to do with me. If it's about Mr. Liang, please go back and tell Mrs. Liang. I know my status very well and I won't pester Mr. Liang."
Seeing Chi Muzhen here, the other party didn't want to make things too ugly, so he turned and left.
Chi Muzhen felt something was wrong with Zhen Yan's words. After the other party left, he turned to look at her.
"Have the Liang family looked for you before?"
Zhen Yan nodded, "Not long after Liang Zixuan invested in my last play, Mrs. Liang came to the door and told me not to be sentimental. Liang Zixuan was just playing for fun. The Liang family will never allow an actor to enter."
In fact, what Mrs. Liang said at that time was much more unpleasant, but Zhen Yan was not interested in Liang Zixuan at all at that time and rejected them one by one.
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Does Liang Zixuan know about this?"
"I don't know, but I should know. None of this is important. There was no result between me and him, and I won't like him."
Seeing that there was no expression on her face, Chi Muzhen's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Zhen Yan was not as indifferent to Liang Zixuan as she said.
But it's not easy for her to get involved in emotional matters.
"Well, you have a good rest, I'll go back first."
When she returned to the villa, she saw Huo Yunting sitting on the sofa reading documents, with the food on the table untouched. Only then did Chi Muzhen remember that he called her this morning and told her to have dinner together in the evening.
When he heard the door open, Huo Yunting put down the documents and looked up at her.
"You're back? The food is already cold. I'll heat it up."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, expecting him to ask where she was, but she didn't expect him to ask anything.
For some reason, her heart sank unconsciously.
While eating, Chi Muzhen finally couldn't help but look at him.
"Why don't you ask me why I came back so late?"
