Chapter 239: Double Standards
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as the atmosphere in the car started to become quiet and strange, Young Master Huo, who was very observant, silently gave Jian Tan a look.
He moved his body and leaned towards Xia Wei. “The production team has just started filming and suddenly changed the male lead. What dirty things did the former first male lead do? Tell me about it. We’re good friends! I’m dying of curiosity!”
The curiosity on Huo Feng’s face did not seem to be an act. Xia Wei glanced at him and suddenly felt that this Young Master Huo was really interesting. “You want to hear it? I’ll charge you a fee!”
Seeing the glint in Xia Weiwei’s eyes, Huo Feng smiled and replied, “I have plenty of money. Just name your price.”
Xia Wei smiled faintly and deliberately hesitated. “But I have my own professional ethics. Although Lu Man is not a good person, I still have to be responsible for the reputation of our production team. Hence, I can’t reveal this to you for the time being. I’m sorry!”
Actually, Xia Wei did not want to mention that disgusting matter in front of Huo Feng and Jian Tan at all. Firstly, there was no need. Secondly, she did not want Jian Tan to worry about her.
She knew that Jian Tan would definitely find trouble with Lu Man if she found out about this. She did not want these troublesome matters to affect Jian Tan.
Jian Tan also sensed that something was wrong with Xia Wei. He looked at Xia Wei calmly and did not ask anything in the end.
He and Xia Wei were both very smart people. Most of the time, they understood even if they did not say much.
From a certain perspective, Xia Wei and Jian Tan were actually very similar types of people. They were extremely sincere and passionate when they liked someone, but they would not be easily tempted. They were not the kind of people who would say sweet nothings all day long.
Compared to comforting her verbally, Jian Tan preferred to express his attitude and feelings through actions.
Li Wan’s western restaurant was indeed as delicious as Huo Feng had said. Xia Wei finished the exquisite steak in front of her with a good appetite. When she came back to her senses from the shock of the delicious food, the two men opposite her had been staring at her for a long time.
Jian Tan looked at Xia Wei gently and would ask her for her needs from time to time.
Under Lin Yi’s instructions, he did not get the attendant to pour red wine for Xia Wei. Instead, he ordered a black chicken soup to warm her stomach and nourish her qi.
Even though this hot soup was worlds apart from the style of the western restaurant, it still appeared beside Xia Wei’s hand very smoothly and quickly.
As the biggest “obstacle” at the entire dining table, Young Master Huo stared at the empty plate in front of Xia Wei unhappily.
“So the dinner that Jian Tan is treating won’t make you fat, right? However, my treat will delay your weight loss, Great Beauty?” Huo Feng’s tone was pretending to be sarcastic. When Xia Wei heard it, she suddenly felt guilty.
However, Young Master Huo was obviously not that generous. He still remembered that Xia Wei had rejected him just now.
He saw that Xia Wei was holding the soup spoon and obediently drinking the soup that Jian Tan had ordered. He felt a little unbalanced and continued to scold her relentlessly. “Also, 1 wanted to invite you to dinner just now, but you didn’t agree even after 1 talked till my saliva was dry! In the end, you obediently followed Jian Tan into the car as soon as he asked. Why, Great Beauty? Is there a problem with the way 1 speak? I think you have double standards!”
After complaining, Huo Feng finally felt better. He looked at Jian Tan in amusement and then at Xia Wei opposite him.
“Eat your food. There’s so much delicious food, but it can’t shut you up.” Jian Tan glanced at Huo Feng and said calmly, slowly overflowing with a “warning” tone.
Huo Feng was naturally not afraid of Jian Tan’s “warning”. He was Young Master Huo, who wanted the world to be in chaos. Just as he was about to say a few more teasing words, a sweet and soft voice suddenly came from behind Xia Wei.
“Xia Wei? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be filming in the production team?”
Huo Feng instinctively looked up and realized that the woman who spoke was also very beautiful. She was a little similar to Xia Wei in front of him, but her facial features were not as exquisite and beautiful as Xia Wei’s. She was like a top-notch high-quality imitation..
