CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 576: FEMALE COMPANION

Wen Qiao, tongue-tied, opened her mouth slightly, "He never talked to me about these things, not even a single mention."

"He did say my brother is a bit reserved. If you don’t figure it out yourself, he’ll never bring it up," Lin Ruochun spread her hands. "Him not saying anything doesn’t mean he isn’t protective of you."

"My brother always acts more than he speaks because he thinks promises made by mouth are the most useless thing."

After summarizing her statement, Lin Ruochun felt something was off, stayed silent for a while, and then realized she had strayed off-topic. She waved her hand, "I’ve strayed off-topic, strayed off-topic, I’m not trying to speak well for my brother, I wanted to prove, he’s really quite petty."

"Actually, to say that, isn’t quite right either," Lin Ruochun pondered and scratched her chin. "It seems like men, when facing the woman they like, are all petty. Don’t think that because my brother is five or six years older than you and looks mature and like a social elite, he doesn’t possess the common flaws men have when facing someone they like. One shouldn’t judge by appearances."

Wen Qiao pursed her lips and then laughed, "What’s done is done, it’s too late to go back now, let him be."

Lin Ruochun looked at Wen Qiao’s profile and silently clicked her tongue twice in her mind.

She felt Wen Qiao was still biased towards her brother.

Otherwise, why would she say, "Let him be," with such indulgence? That was basically letting Fu Jinghen deal with it however he wished.

Indeed, men and women in love, their minds really do twist and turn.

After the group photo, Wen Qiao took a few more individual photos with other staff members.

After finishing with a script supervisor, Wen Qiao saw her phone light up on a table nearby. She picked it up and saw a message from Huo Mutian.

[Huo Mutian: Did you receive the flowers?]

[Qiaoqiao’s not full: Received them, thank you.]

[Huo Mutian: You’re welcome.]

[Huo Mutian: When will you be back in Jiang City?]

Wen Qiao gave him the same answer she had given Fu Jinghen, tomorrow.

[Huo Mutian: That’s perfect. There’s a gala the day after tomorrow, I need a female companion. I wonder if the female star would do me the honor of attending with me?]

Due to the boost from the variety show, Wen Qiao’s popularity and commercial value had increased quite a bit lately, so Jiang Yao, knowing her care for her own reputation, had been very selective with the jobs coming her way.

After the shooting of "Red Makeup" was completed, Jiang Yao had given her three days off to rest and readjust. Wen Qiao, thinking she didn’t have anything else planned, accepted Huo Mutian’s invitation.

Just as she put down her phone, Wen Qiao saw Wen Shu walking towards her with a phone in hand.

"Qiaoqiao, want to take a photo together?"

For various reasons and relying on a woman’s intuition, Wen Qiao really couldn’t come to like Wen Shu, but since they did not have any deep animosity and still had to cooperate in several promotional activities for "Red Makeup," it wouldn’t be good to burn bridges.

The creativity and attention to detail of netizens should not be underestimated; if they noticed that she had taken photos with other cast members but not with Wen Shu, it would surely lead to speculation.

Though she didn’t care about those things, she also didn’t want to trouble herself.

Wen Qiao smiled and nodded, "Sure."

Another staff member took Wen Shu’s phone to snap a couple of pictures of them together, then handed the phone back to Wen Shu.

Wen Shu scrolled through the photos and said, "I’ll send these to you later."
