Capítulo 2066: Chapter 1335: Thank You, Oppa (2)
Jiang Chen got up and went downstairs with Xing Jie, only to be stopped in the lobby.
“Mr. Jiang.”
The familiar mask.
It was Jin Zhuxuan.
As expected of a public figure, she knew how to behave appropriately and didn’t call out oppa in public.
Xing Jie’s expression remained unchanged.
“Mr. Jiang, I’ll head to the car first.”
Tsk.
Few words were said.
But damn, they were all astute people.
Jiang Chen nodded.
“Waiting for ?”
After Xing Jie left, Jiang Chen asked.
With a mask and a baseball cap, Jin Zhuxuan, looking like a spy, imdiately nodded.
“How long have you been waiting?”
“Not, not long.”
“Why didn’t you go up? Forgot the room number?”
Jin Zhuxuan didn’t reply. It definitely wasn’t because she forgot. At worst, she could have called. It was probably because she felt embarrassed or out of so… concern.
Girls being too eager can easily create a negative impression.
“Is there sothing you need from ?”
“Yes, I want to see Xuejing.”
Jiang Chen paused, “What do you an?”
“To protect Xuejing, Mr. Xing and Mr. Xu arranged to have her placed in a safe location, and her phone was changed, so I can’t contact her.”
Jiang Chen suddenly understood.
An avalanche might just be triggered by a single snowflake.
That Li Xuejing was not just an isolated case but a reflection of a filthy and decaying circle.
Such matters can be small or large.
In Shen Zhou terms, although it may seem trivial if not weighed, once it is put on the scales, it becos a thousand pounds.
If this issue were exploited, many significant figures might struggle to find peace.
“Co with .”
Jiang Chen said without explanation and stepped forward.
Jin Zhuxuan followed without hesitation, obediently catching up.
After playing the role of an assistant all afternoon, accompanying Boss Jiang on “official business,” the car stopped at the entrance of a mid-tier apartnt building.
“We developed this apartnt, and now it’s all our people inside.”
Xing Jie explained.
Jin Zhuxuan hesitated, looking at Jiang Chen.
Boss Jiang, understanding as usual, got out of the car nonchalantly, “Let’s go.”
Only then did Jin Zhuxuan quickly follow.
The elevator opened at the top floor.
Jin Zhuxuan sensibly walked ahead and pressed the doorbell.
There weren’t any extra hands arranged in the hallway.
After all, tis have changed.
If there’s any movent, the surveillance in the elevator can see everything clearly.
“Zhuxuan?!”
A few seconds later, the door opened, and upon seeing the person in front of her, Jiang Chen, who had read Jin Zhuxuan’s chat records, regained so recognition. Without makeup, but as an idol artist, her features were much more striking than ordinary people. She covered her mouth, looking at the suddenly appearing Jin Zhuxuan, tears streaming down her face.
Jin Zhuxuan’s eyes trembled, taking a step forward silently hugging her.
With her head resting on her shoulder, Li Xuejing, who was desperate to the point of almost committing suicide, finally couldn’t hold it in, sobbing quietly.
Jin Zhuxuan didn’t speak to comfort her, just gently patted her back.
She had almost fallen into the abyss once too, but fortunately, soone caught her during the fall, so how could she not know the darkness of the abyss.
Half a minute later, Li Xuejing hurriedly lifted her head, pushing her away, her face full of tear stains, anxious and choked, “You shouldn’t have co here.”
“It’s okay.”
Li Xuejing shook her head vigorously, “You’ll get dragged into this.”
Jin Zhuxuan took off her mask, smiling, “At worst, I won’t return to Korea.”
“But what about grandma and them…”
Even in the mud, pure flowers can bloom.
The entertainnt industry isn’t all about fake emotions.
Jin Zhuxuan didn’t respond, stepping aside to reveal Boss Jiang behind her.
“Xuejing, this is Mr. Jiang.”
Only then did Li Xuejing notice there was a man, quickly wiping her teary eyes with the back of her hand, looking at the unfamiliar Boss Jiang, a bit surprised, a bit absent-minded.
“Let’s go in, don’t disturb the neighbors.”
Jiang Chen made a joke.
Li Xuejing looked bewildered but subconsciously stepped aside.
The two entered the house.
Li Xuejing closed the door.
In broad daylight, but the curtains were tightly drawn, Jiang Chen acted casually and sat on the sofa, leaving space for the two won to talk privately.
They’re both idols.
And friends for many years.
But fate turned out to be quite different.
“Zhuxuan…”
Li Xuejing held her friend’s hand, exceptionally tightly, an unconscious action.
Jin Zhuxuan didn’t react, her voice warm: “Don’t be afraid, no one can hurt you anymore, everything will be fine.”
“Zhuxuan, thank you.”
Li Xuejing’s eyes brimd with mist, once again on the verge of tears.
She was sowhat shorter than Jin Zhuxuan, probably a little over 160cm, her figure should appear fuller, but now she only appeared desolate and withered.
“Why cry, aren’t you supposed to be happy to see ?”
Jin Zhuxuan had a smile from start to finish, contrary to her cold and gorgeous appearance, warm and sunny, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have visited you.”
Li Xuejing tightened her grip, seemingly worried she might leave, shook her head, and finally broke into a smile amid tears.
“I thought I’d never see you again.”
“Cursing , are you?”
Jin Zhuxuan wrinkled her high, straight nose.
Li Xuejing laughed through her tears.
Without ntioning the other’s painful experience, Jin Zhuxuan looked around, “How’s your stay here?”
“It’s fine, everything’s fine.”
Li Xuejing nodded quickly.
“You can’t go out, I hope you can endure for a while.”
“It’s okay. I’m fine on my own.”
Jin Zhuxuan saw this and felt heartache, yet couldn’t show it on her face.
Once lively and cheerful Xuejing, now reduced to this state.
“Mr. Jiang, would you like so water?”
Li Xuejing glanced at the sofa, not forgetting there’s another person in the apartnt.
“You don’t need to worry about .”
Boss Jiang said casually.
Li Xuejing’s gaze involuntarily moved to Jin Zhuxuan.
“Oppa is not an outsider.”
Jin Zhuxuan said.
Li Xuejing remained silent, uncertain if she understood.
“Yesterday, Junxiang oppa went to my house, he was very worried about you. Asked where you were.”
“No, you can’t!”
Li Xuejing suddenly beca agitated again, hurriedly said: “You can’t tell him!”
“I didn’t tell him. I said I didn’t know either.”
Jin Zhuxuan held her hand in return.
“If he finds out, the company will know, the company won’t let go!”
Li Xuejing’s eyes trembled, filled with fear, panic and anxiety.
“Xuejing, you’re not alone now, you don’t have to be afraid. The company doesn’t have the ability to threaten you anymore.”
Li Xuejing just shook her head vigorously.
So shadows, so nightmares, can’t be erased overnight.
Jiang Chen, sitting on the sofa, didn’t interrupt, nor eavesdrop, though so words drifted into his ears on their own, he couldn’t control it.
He noticed the scattered pill bottles on the coffee table.
Korean.
Couldn’t understand.
But Xing Jie ntioned in the car that this Li Xuejing often takes dications like sedatives.
Behind the light there must be darkness.
Behind the glamour there must be filth.
It’s not just in Korea, many places are like this, dazzling actors and artists behind the scenes beco playthings, tools, or even slaves.
As for the outco, it depends on ntal resilience.
If they can withstand the pressure, perhaps they can make it through, but if their ntal resilience is weak, they might tragically commit suicide, or at best beco ntally deranged lunatics.
“Oppa, can you help get so tissues?”
Jin Zhuxuan called out.
Jiang Chen leaned forward, drew a few tissues from the box, got up and walked over.
“Thank you, Oppa.”
Jin Zhuxuan took them and helped her friend wipe away tears.
“Thank you, Oppa.”
Unexpectedly, the tears kept flowing and Li Xuejing followed suit.
Even in such a state, she still rembered to say thank you.
It must be said, the etiquette ingrained in Korean entertainers is truly etched into their bones.
Li Xuejing’s Chinese is definitely not as good as Jin Zhuxuan’s, more awkward, and mixed with sobbing, sounded even more ridiculous, plus caught off guard, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Xuejing, you can’t call him that.”
Jin Zhuxuan quickly said.
Friend or not, it’s not really an all-encompassing relationship.
What if Mr. Jiang gets offended?
Hmm.
Jin Zhuxuan was purely worried about this.
“You guys continue.”
Jiang Chen remained indifferent, turned around and walked back to sit down again.
