CHAPTER 124: UNWARRANTED SOLICITUDE

"Sister Jiang?"

On the other end, Jiang Xinxin’s gentle and pleasant voice came through, even with a hint of concern.

"Tian Tian, I heard from Haiyang that you were sick. Are you feeling better?"

Gu Tiantian thought it’d be better if Jiang Xinxin talked to her like she used to.

Neither cold nor warm, bossy.

She couldn’t quite handle this gentle, concerned voice right now.

"I’m much better now, Sister Jiang. Don’t worry, I’ll be able to be hospitalized in a few days. I’m really sorry for delaying your work!"

On the other end came Jiang Xinxin’s gentle laughter, even a little coquettish.

"Oh, Tian Tian, what are you saying?"

"I know I wasn’t quite nice to you before, but that’s all in the past. Let’s not dwell on it, alright?"

Gu Tiantian thought, if she said no, it would be quite unreasonable.

They say not to hit a smiling face, and besides, she had slapped her in a way she found very satisfying!

"Sister Jiang is right, it’s all in the past!"

"Yes, it’s all in the past. Tian Tian, I’m going to Han City to shoot a film in a few days. We’ve not seen each other for so long. Tell me which hospital you’re in, and I’ll come see you."

No!

As the saying goes, having Buddha is easy, sending Buddha away is hard!

She understood this principle!

Plus, Jiang Xinxin suddenly acting all attentive surely wasn’t for any good reason.

Although she was a newbie in the entertainment industry, she’d learned quite a lot just by observing.

"Thanks for the offer, Sister Jiang. You’re so busy, no need to make the trip. Once I’m better and out of the hospital, I’ll go to Han City to see you right away."

Sister Jiang’s voice suddenly dropped on the other end, sounding a bit dejected.

"Tian Tian, you just said everything from the past has passed. I thought you were being truthful. Didn’t expect you were lying to me."

Oh, crap!

How on earth did Jiang Xinxin turn thirty-something and enter menopause early, usually appearing graceful and composed, yet throwing a tantrum on the phone with her, a newbie? Utterly unable to accept.

Covering her heart with her hand, Gu Tiantian’s mouth twitched.

It took a while before she adjusted her nerves, stimulated by Jiang Xinxin’s voice.

"Sister Jiang, I’m speaking the truth. Believe it if you will, if not, there’s nothing I can do!"

Jiang Xinxin clearly didn’t expect Gu Tiantian to respond like this, so the other end suddenly went silent.

Gu Tiantian thought it’s the perfect time to end the call.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinxin spoke again, her voice gentle and with a touch of fondness.

"Alright, alright, Tian Tian, this little thing isn’t worth getting upset with Sister Jiang about, right? I just wanted to see you. After this incident, I’ve realized I’ve done many wrong things in the past, and I want to see you because I feel guilty."

Is this a roundabout way of apologizing for previous matters?

Gu Tiantian held her forehead, realizing for the first time that the old Jiang Xinxin wasn’t so bad after all.

At least she definitely wouldn’t use this current tone and voice to provoke her fragile little heart.

"Sister Jiang, didn’t we say it’s all in the past? Why bring it up again?"

Not waiting for Jiang Xinxin to speak, Gu Tiantian quickly added.

"Congratulations, Sister Jiang, for being the leading actress in the movie ’A Lifetime of Peace.’ Surely, with your talent, you’ll present us with an unforgettable ’A Lifetime of Peace.’

"The doctor’s here, I have to go. Bye-bye, Sister Jiang!"

With a click, Gu Tiantian quickly hung up the phone.

As for how Jiang Xinxin was on the other end, why should she care!
