The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family - Chapter 70: How Reluctant to let go of Jing Zéqiān

Chapter 70

Jing Zeyou admitted that Shen Huaichu was a formidable person and an excellent business partner. He admired Shen Huaichu’s abilities.

However, as Jing Yi’s brother, he didn’t think Shen Huaichu was suitable for her.

Shen Huaichu’s methods were ruthless, indicating he was a fierce character – someone not easily swayed and cold-hearted.

Add to that his complicated family background…

The more Jing Zeyou thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.

But for now, it seemed the two had only met by chance.

Since he learned that Jing Yi and Shen Huaichu had just encountered each other coincidentally, Jing Zeyou didn’t ask Assistant Chen to investigate further.

“That’s all, you can go now.”

Assistant Chen bowed slightly, “Yes, sir.”

He turned and left the office, closing the door behind him.

…

“Boqi, when can I leave Startrack?”

In a private residence in North River, Jiang Miaomiao lay in a man’s arms.

The man on the sofa wore a white shirt, his tie loosely hanging around his neck, clutched in Jiang Miaomiao’s hand. His shirt cuffs were adorned with sparkling diamond cufflinks.

Hearing Jiang Miaomiao’s question, he tilted his head back leisurely, a pair of thin-framed glasses perched on his nose bridge, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“Didn’t I tell you? After you attend the celebration banquet and finish the task, I’ll take you away.”

Jiang Miaomiao’s hand, gripping the man’s tie, paused slightly.

In a while, Startrack would host a celebration banquet for Jiang Miaomiao to celebrate her Golden Lotus Award.

This award was insignificant in her acting career, but Jiang Miaomiao still had her agent and the company plan such an event.

Why?

Naturally, it was for the task the man had assigned her: to hand Jing Zeqian a glass of wine at the banquet – a glass of wine laced with something.

Seeing her lower her head without speaking, a fleeting darkness passed through the man’s alluring eyes, seemingly concealing an inexplicable danger.

His tone betrayed no displeasure, “What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with Jing Zeqian?”

“No, that’s not it!”

Jiang Miaomiao immediately raised her head to deny, fearing the man would misunderstand.

She just felt that the powder the man had given her might cause too severe consequences.

After all, Jing Zeqian was the one who had led her to her current achievements. She occasionally wondered if she was being too heartless.

The man noticed Jiang Miaomiao’s hesitation, his lips curling into an imperceptible, mocking smile, though his embrace remained gentle.

“Don’t worry, this dosage won’t cause Jing Zeqian much suffering. At most, it will only impact Startrack a bit.”

Seeing Jiang Miaomiao still wavering, displeasure flashed in the man’s eyes, disappearing moments later.

“You know that our family has been secretly vying with the Jing family for status in North River. If I want to marry you, don’t I need to give my family a gift first? This way, my father will have a better impression of you.”

“Besides, with the Jing family’s power, that little thing will at most cause them some trouble.”

On this point, the man wasn’t lying. He never expected that small amount to completely bring down the Jing family. Startrack wasn’t that important in his eyes either.

His ultimate goal was the Hengjing Group, and Jing Zeyou, who would be too preoccupied with saving Jing Zeqian to focus elsewhere.

After learning about the cooperation between Hengjing and Huarui Group, this idea grew stronger in the man’s mind.

He couldn’t let their cooperation succeed!

Therefore, he had Jiang Miaomiao plan this celebration banquet, where she would execute his plan.

Jiang Miaomiao bit her lip lightly, determination flashing in her eyes.

She leaned back into the man’s arms, appearing dependent.

The man’s lips curved slightly. He knew Jiang Miaomiao would definitely complete this task.

After all, she had no other choice now.

The man’s hand gently stroked Jiang Miaomiao’s hair. In an angle she couldn’t see, his dark eyes were filled with bone-chilling indifference.

At this moment, what lay in his arms seemed not to be a warm person, but an obedient pet.

Meanwhile, Wen Qingyan had rarely returned to Startrack to handle some work-related matters.

“Next week there’s only the script reading session, and oh, at the end of the month there’s Jiang Miaomiao’s celebration banquet.”

Wen Qingyan stopped flipping through the script and looked up at his agent in confusion, “Celebration banquet? For that Golden Lotus Award from before?”

Jiang Miaomiao winning the Golden Lotus Award wasn’t a secret, but considering her previous award history, this award was practically worthless.

Suddenly holding a celebration banquet seemed somewhat odd.

The agent nodded. He had also just heard the news after arriving at Startrack today and found it equally strange.

On his way to handle work, he had met Jiang Miaomiao’s agent and heard about the celebration banquet for her.

“A celebration banquet for Sister Miaomiao?”

“Yes, it’s perfect timing as she’s about to finish filming. Let her relax a bit. We’ve already invited Mr. Jing. Remember to inform Wen.”

Jiang Miaomiao’s agent’s tone didn’t sound much like an invitation, more like he had just remembered to mention it after bumping into him.

Wen Qingyan’s agent was used to this.

Although Jiang Miaomiao and Wen Qingyan were both Startrack artists, one an actress and one an actor, seemingly without any competition between them.

But Jiang Miaomiao seemed to have an obsession with always being one step ahead, regardless of who it was. So she wasn’t very friendly towards Wen Qingyan either, at most exchanging pleasantries when they met at the company.

As for Wen Qingyan, he didn’t much like Jiang Miaomiao’s way of dealing with people either.

The industry praised her for her good acting, good personality, and high professional ability, but Wen Qingyan knew how Jiang Miaomiao had acquired her acting skills, so his attitude towards her wasn’t very warm either.

Startrack staff secretly referred to the two as ‘kings who never meet’.

“Are you going? I heard she’s already invited Mr. Jing.”

“I’m not going. I’d rather spend that time discussing good excuses with Little Yin.”

Besides, isn’t this Jiang Miaomiao’s standard operation? What’s so special about it?

The agent looked at him helplessly, “You really are a man of action!”

He felt that the previous dating contingency plan could be taken out and revised. You never know when it might need to be sent out.

The excuse Wen Qingyan mentioned was preparing a reason for a ‘chance encounter’ with Jing Zejun and her group.

Yes, he had already extracted information from the program team about Jing Zejun and her siblings planning a self-driving tour for next week’s recording.

Originally thinking he’d have to wait until the later stages of the program recording to see Jing Zejun, now hearing this news, how could Wen Qingyan patiently wait until later?

He could completely fabricate a chance encounter and join the self-driving tour.

Wen Qingyan looked up at his agent, “Since you’re just standing there bored, help me think of a few excuses.”

The agent couldn’t help but roll his eyes. His big star was always saying he was idle. If he didn’t have to accompany this ancestor to the company, he didn’t know how busy he’d be!

“Why can’t you just say it’s a coincidence?”

“Too deliberate.”

The agent was speechless. He didn’t believe Wen Qingyan could come up with an excuse that wasn’t deliberate.

After all, any excuse would seem somewhat deliberate. Might as well just say it was a coincidence.
