Jing Xi could not stop her tears even during the filming process because it reminded her of Little Apple.
The filming for that day ended, and Jing Xi was about to return when Lan Ling’er came to meet her.
Lan Ling’er was also working on a new drama at the headquarters. When she heard that Jing Xi was also there filming her new movie, she came to greet her.
Lan Ling’er was no longer the arrogant princess she used to be. Now, she was trying to live her life as an actress to the fullest.
They went to a café nearby and sat down. Jing Xi was willing to befriend Lan Ling’er after everything that had happened.
“I saw that scene you shot just now! It was so touching!” Lan Ling’er plimented.
“You could do that too,” Jing Xi smiled. “How have you been doing lately? Do you need any help?”
“No, I’m perfectly fine. I’m here to tell you something.
“What’s that?”
“Lady White Tea, my aunt, has contacted me.”
“What? Do you know where she is?” Jing Xi asked excitedly, almost jumping up from her seat.
“Jing Xi, calm down and listen to what I have to say first.”
Lan Ling’er told Jing Xi that Lady White Tea finally came out from hiding and contacted her after going missing for a few months.
Lady White Tea was trying to get to Jing Xi through Lan Ling’er and bring harm to her family.
“She’s trying to take her revenge through me, but there’s no way I want to see you or your family getting hurt after all that you’ve done for me,” Lan Ling’er said. “I just want to warn you. You should be extra careful.”
“Thank you. So this means that you have no way to contact her or find out where she is?”
“Yes. She called me with a prepaid card. When I tried to call back after that, the phone was shut off.”
Switching contact methods was one of the basic rules in spying. With what Lady White Tea was doing, there was no way they could track her.
“Ling’er, can you help me?” Jing Xi asked after thinking for some time. “I need you to pretend to work with her so that we can lure her out.”
“Of course! Anything you need!”
Jing Xi had Lan Ling’er’s plete trust. If Lan Ling’er were to choose, she would rather stand with Jing Xi and not with her aunt.
“Just agree to whatever she asks you to do first. That way, we can learn what she’s planning,” Jing Xi said.
“Sure thing. I’ll contact you if I learn anything.”
After they came to an agreement, they left the café. Jing Xi went back home while Lan Ling’er returned to the studio.
…
With her job on the way, Jing Xi would always e back and forth from her home and the studio.
Little Grape also grew in the loving arms of the adults. Since he had a weak body, he would get sick almost once every month.
It meant that Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi had to take extra effort to take care of their son.
Their lives began to stabilize as their friends were also leading happy lives one after another.
Yet the fortable life did not soothe Jing Xi’s worries. It felt like the calm before the storm to her.
