Chapter 837 - Two News

When Xia Ning said she was going back to get her stuff, she meant the Mountain Villa. She did not plan to go back to the Qiao house for the time being.

When the car drove out of the city, Zheng Ziming’s call came.

Xia Ning picked up. “What’s wrong? Is there good news?”

“Two news.”

Xia Ning frowned a little. “Huh?”

“The first news was published by a big marketing account who claimed to have a big piece of news. A famous actress broke the hidden rule by sleeping with a big shot in the business world. She had a bad personality and cruel means and was arrogant and shameless. The two are despicable cheaters and stole other people’s money. If you want to know who the actress and the rich businessman are, stay tuned on Wednesday.”

“Ha...” Xia Ning laughed out loud all of a sudden. She raised her eyebrows. “Ziming, you used good vocabulary. Looks like you didn’t forget your language during the years abroad.”

“Asteria, are you still in the mood to joke at this time? Don’t you know who they are talking about?” Zheng Ziming sounded a bit speechless.

Xia Ning heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Could it be me? Someone who can make me break the rules and sleep with hasn’t been born yet! Plus, even though I don’t have a good temper, I think I’m a good actress with a good personality. Tell me, did I get involved with another man this time?”

“Alright, stop joking.” Zheng Ziming sighed. “Isn’t it obvious that it is talking about Qiao Yu and you? As for stealing money, it should be referring to the Shen family. Asteria, I’ve got a clear message. Someone is trying to defame you.”

“No need to guess. It’s probably the Shen family.” Xia Ning chuckled. “Judging from the tone, they must hate me a lot.”

“Yeah, I haven’t found out who it is yet.” Zheng Ziming’s voice was a bit serious. “Give me some time.”

“No need. I think I know who it is,” Xia Ning said calmly. “Tell me the second news.”

The man on the other side went silent for a while and said, “Asteria, Brother Jingcheng called me yesterday.”

In the car, Xia Ning’s hand on the steering wheel tightened. She made a sharp turn and looked ahead coldly. “You don’t have to report this to me.”

“Asteria, Brother Jingcheng asked you to go back to England.”

“I’m not free.” Xia Ning refused without hesitation.

“Asteria, don’t mess with Brother Jingcheng. You know, he...”

Xia Ning sneered. “Ziming, who are you listening to? So what if he’s powerful? Does he dare to kill me?”

On the other side of the phone, a sigh came. “Asteria, even if Brother Jingcheng won’t be mad at you, he won’t just let it go like this. You should tell them about your relationship with Qiao Yu. Even if they don’t agree, at least they won’t be too passive in the future.”

“Well, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Xia Ning said somewhat impatiently. “I need to shoot the MV in the morning. I need to go back to the Mountain Villa to get changed.”

“Asteria, don’t let Qiao Yu know you went to Jin Yan’s place yesterday,” Zheng Ziming said suddenly.

Xia Ning was surprised. She suddenly said with a smile, “Are you afraid that Qiao Yu will get jealous and misunderstand? He...” She was about to say he would not get jealous, but when she thought about the scandal with Jin Yan, he was obviously not happy. She changed her words immediately. “I know.”

“It’s hard for others to understand your feelings for Jin Yan. I’m afraid Qiao Yu will never understand,” Zheng Ziming said in a low voice. “And I know everything, so I won’t misunderstand.”

“Sure,” Xia Ning answered. The two chatted for a bit more before hanging up.

Xia Ning took a look at her phone. When she got home, she needed to see the so-called “Stay tuned on Wednesday”.

But when the car reached the Mountain Villa, she saw a black Bentley parked at the entrance.
