"Forget it, it's all very normal. Xinran knows this. It's not worth it to worry about these small things," Shi Jin advised her.
"Uh-huh. Xinran is off the scene." The manager hurried over and brought her water and a towel.
Shi Jin could smell the alcohol on her breath. "What happened?"
"I-I was acting in a drinking scene. I drank a little to get into character, but after filming a dozen times, I accidentally drank a little too much."
Shi Jin held out a hand to steady her. "Drank a little too much? That's more than a little, isn't it?"
"It's fine, it's fine, we're done for the day. I'm going to remove my makeup and change."
When she returned after changing, Shi Jin saw that she was still a little drunk and said, "I'll get Eldest Brother to pick you up."
"No need. He's been very busy recently." Liang Xinran shook her head.
The manager said, "I know, right? He didn't show his face for more than ten days. In my opinion, a man really shouldn't be spoiled. He doesn't know how to cherish what he has."
"Stop it," Liang Xinran stopped her.
Shi Jin sensed an issue and said, "I'll go back with you."
On the way, Liang Xinran did not say much. It did not match her usual talkative personality.
When they reached her apartment, Shi Jin helped her in and poured her a glass of plain water before asking, "What's my brother busy with?"
"Who knows? He's always busy." Liang Xinran drank water mouthful by mouthful.
Shi Jin pressed her hand. "Is there something even I can't know?"
Liang Xinran put down her cup and said after a long time, "Yue Xiu always has a lot of things to do and always calls him along. He didn't go at first, but slowly, he began to go all the time. Now, he often forgets that I still need him. Shi Jin, do you think men are all like this? Do they really not cherish what they have?"
"Eldest Brother probably has his own affairs, it's probably work-related," Shi Jin assured her. "He wouldn't leave you alone."
"How many days has it been since the official announcement? Everyone outside is still giving me their blessing. Tell me, am I being too optimistic about relationships?"
"Xinran." Shi Jin did not know how to comfort her. She could only hug her and give her a shoulder to lean on, even though this shoulder was not what she wanted.
After Liang Xinran fell asleep, Shi Jin left.
She planned to go home directly, but somehow drove to Gu Jingyuan's company.
The street lamps illuminated the street brightly. The door under the light opened, and Gu Jingyuan and Yue Xiu walked out chatting and laughing.
She frowned slightly and watched as Gu Jingyuan and
Yue Xiu got into the car.
When she returned to Orchid Pavilion, Fu Xiuyuan saw that her expression was not right.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. I just thought it was a little strange. Eldest Brother suddenly got very close to Yue Xiu. I don't know what he was busy with."
Fu Xiuyuan frowned slightly. "The Yue family has already arranged for many people to be in your brother's company. He should be prepared."
"Yes, he definitely won't have anything to do with Yue Xiu emotionally. If he did, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? But the situation is unclear now. I'm afraid Old Madam Yue and the others will harm him." Shi Jin pinched her brow.
"Call Eldest Brother and ask him out for a chat."
Shi Jin immediately picked up the phone and called Gu Jingyuan.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
Gu Jingyuan's voice sounded a little indifferent. "Right now?"
"When are you free? I'd like to see you as soon as possible."
