Chapter 406 - 406 247

Chapter 406: Chapter 247 Chapter 406: Chapter 247 “I’m sorry, Wenyan, I won’t be so hasty next time,” Qin Yulong acknowledged her mistake readily.

She immediately apologized to Wenyan, with a sincere attitude and a very serious tone.

Seeing this, Wenyan immediately went over and hugged her.

“You don’t need to be so formal; I’m not blaming you, I’m just speaking my mind. Actually, I think my second brother felt a bit awkward just now. You haven’t seen each other for many years, so you might not be aware, but he’s a bit stubborn. I suspect his tone just now was to save face and to argue with you. Don’t take it to heart,”

“I won’t,” Qin Yulong shook her head, “I was just being factual, I hope he doesn’t think I was deliberately offending him.”

“Well… why don’t you send him a message to explain, so there’s no unnecessary misunderstanding between you because of me?”

“Okay.” Qin Yulong was always open to reasonable suggestions.

While they spoke, she had already pulled out her phone and brought up Shen Jinghe’s chat.

She said she meant no harm and didn’t want Shen Jinghe to misunderstand.

Shen Jinghe was even more sparing with words than usual.

He just replied with “Hmm.”

However, watching the two of them exchange messages in such a business-like, cold manner, Wenyan actually felt it was alright.

After all, there was still communication between them; other brothers in the family seemed to have absolutely no contact with Qin Yulong.

Just as she thought this, Wenyan realized she had been contradicted.

Because she saw an incoming call on Qin Yulong’s phone.

The screen displayed the name Shen Jingxiu.

He was calling Qin Yulong.

Qin Yulong didn’t delay; she answered the call quickly.

“Hello, big brother. Is there something you need?”

“Yulong, I saw the news online. Do you need the family’s help?”

“No need.”

“Alright, just speak up if you do.”

“Will do. Is there anything else?”

“That’s it.”

“Then I’m hanging up now.”

“Hmm.”

Since Wenyan was standing right beside Qin Yulong, she heard their entire conversation clearly.

One had to say, their exchange was incredibly concise.

Their back and forth probably didn’t even add up to fifty words.

They clearly weren’t close.

But… Wenyan suddenly realized a problem.

Compared to Qin Yulong, she should be considered closer to Shen Jingxiu, right?

So why didn’t he contact her directly instead of calling the somewhat unfamiliar Qin Yulong?

Once this doubt arose in her heart, Wenyan immediately pulled out her own phone.

Her phone wasn’t on silent mode, and there were no missed calls.

But she didn’t think too much about it.

Now that she and Qin Yulong were a team, regarding the online matters, it didn’t matter whether the family contacted her or Qin Yulong.

With that thought, Wenyan put her phone away again.

She continued chatting with Qin Yulong.

“We should talk to the investors about the actor replacement, but it seems a little late today.”

“Yes, I have arranged to meet with them tomorrow morning. Sit for a while; I’ll find Gu Xiran’s agent.”

“Are you going to find him now? You’re not going to wait until after you’ve talked to the investors tomorrow?”

“It’s fine; I just want to chat with his agent. Maybe he isn’t available, in which case we’d have to consider other options. If he is available, it’ll also give them a heads up so they don’t take on other work.”

Wenyan nodded and settled back into the couch, “Then you go ahead.”

Qin Yulong hummed an acknowledgment and quickly walked to her desk.

With no one speaking, Wenyan pulled out her phone again.

Her WeChat had accumulated several red dots, but most of them were unimportant group messages and public account updates.

But scrolling down, she suddenly noticed an oversight.

It was Shen Jingxiu!

Opening it, she realized that during the past month and a half, Shen Jingxiu had been sending her messages intermittently.

Somehow, Shen Jingxiu’s account had been set to mute by her.

“Damn!” Seeing the mute symbol, Wenyan couldn’t help but curse softly.

“When did I mute him?”

She had no recollection of doing such a thing.

Was it an accidental slip?

No wonder, she thought it strange that Shen Jingxiu preferred to call the unacquainted Qin Yulong.

It turned out that she hadn’t responded to any of his messages for over a month.

Wenyan quickly scrolled back.

She noticed that almost every time there was bad press about her online, Shen Jingxiu had sent her a message.
