Chapter 137 She is my woman
After lunch, Shi Xing went back to his residence with Bo Jinran and the others. After all, they had been on a flight for more than ten hours and were quite tired, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
However, Shi Xing rolled around in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.
Without Qi Chenyan holding her, she always felt like something was missing.
She sat up again, hugging the quilt in annoyance, and called Song Lan to tell her that she wanted to take on a role and asked her to see if there were any good scripts that were filming in the capital recently.
"The imperial capital?"
Song Lan was embarrassed: "If it can only be within the imperial capital, then it can only be an urban theme?"
At Shi Xing's current age, there are too few leading roles suitable for her in urban dramas, and the supporting role of Song Lan also seems inappropriate.
Shi Xing didn't think it was a big deal: "Supporting roles are also good. It's a good opportunity to learn from other seniors. As long as the role is good, it's fine."
Song Lan thought for a moment and said, "Well, since I guess the prince won't let you take on any intimate scenes, then the choice is even better. The supporting role is indeed the best option right now."
"Wait a minute, let me take a look. If there's a good script and crew, I'll send it to you."
After Song Lan finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xingxing, have you ever thought about signing with a company? Many people have contacted me and want to sign a contract with you. What do you think?"
Because Shi Xing had not officially entered the circle before, it was just that the Shi family invested in Shi Yue and she followed suit to act, so she had not actually signed a contract with a company and had always been an individual.
The person next to her is Song Lan, her college classmate, friend and so-called agent.
Now that Song Lan asked this, Shi Xing also felt that this issue needed to be carefully considered. Once everything calmed down, she would have more roles to take on in the future and would need a team.
"Well, being signed to a company doesn't give me the freedom. Even if I'm going to film in the future, I won't be as diligent as other actors. So I think we should set up our own team and open our own studio."
"fair enough."
Song Lan also agreed with her idea. Shi Xing is different from other artists. She needs more freedom.
Shi Xing said, "How about this, let's prepare first. Let's look at the studio address and recruitment information. If you need anything, just call me. Don't worry about the funding."
"Okay."
Song Lan had actually been bored to death recently. Shi Xing's words immediately gave her motivation. She said excitedly, "I'll do it right away."
After discussing the matter of opening a studio in more detail, the two hung up the phone.
Shi Xing was dazed for a while. Since he couldn't sleep and was bored, he changed his clothes and went out for a walk.
The Lu family’s house is so big, and she has never visited it before. It feels more interesting than visiting a park.
The bodyguard assigned by Lu Tian followed her closely, not disturbing her, and only pointed the way for her when she didn't know where to go.
Shi Xing sighed as he walked around, saying, "You know what, the Lu family's house is indeed bigger than a park."
There is also an artificial lake, a small bridge and a stone pavilion in the big garden, and there are several swans swimming around in the lake.
But no matter how beautiful she is, she finds it boring to be alone.
Shi Xing was tired from walking, so he squatted by the lake and waved to the swans boredly, "Come here, I'll feed you some biscuits."
Swan ignored her, but another man's voice came coldly, "Who asked you to come out?"
Shi Xing was stunned. Can’t the Lu family just wander around freely?
She turned her head in confusion and saw a face that looked both strange and familiar.
It felt strange because she had never seen him before, but it felt familiar because this man looked somewhat like Lu Li.
The man was wearing a black shirt and trousers, with a straight posture. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Perhaps because he was a few years older than Lu Li and Qi Chenyan, he looked more calm and reserved.
His face was stern and his eyes were cold.
A name instantly popped up in Shi Xing's mind.
Lu Ci!
Lu Li's half-brother will probably be the next heir of the Lu family.
Shi Xing stood up hurriedly, a little confused: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the Lu family can't just wander around?"
Seeing this, the bodyguard who was following her not far away also hurried forward and called out "Ci Shao", explaining: "The head of the family said that the young lady can wander around freely."
Lu Ci was slightly surprised when Shi Xing stood up and looked at him. Now, after listening to what Shi Xing and the bodyguard said, he guessed her identity.
Qi Xiaosan's wife.
Lu Ci said in a deep voice: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
"wrong person?"
Shi Xing was confused and was about to speak again, but Lu Ci had already nodded at her, said "Do as you please", and turned to leave.
"?"
Shi Xing looked at his back in silence for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Qi Chenyan: "I saw your cousin Ci. He's so cold."
Qi Chenyan replied quickly: "Don't be scared by his appearance, he's just a reserved person."
Then another message came: "You guys spoke, what did you say?"
He said……
Shi Xing frowned as soon as he typed two words.
It doesn't feel right.
Who asked you to come out?
Wrong person.
Who did you admit to being wrong?
At that moment, Shi Xing felt inexplicably uneasy, and some bad thoughts popped up in his mind.
She thought of someone she had almost forgotten.
She hurriedly asked Qi Chenyan: "Did Brother Lu Li send An Ran to the Lu family?"
I had put An Ran under temporary custody because I was afraid she might cause trouble, and I had almost forgotten about her these days.
Qi Chenyan: "Well, I was afraid that something might happen to An Ran at his place, so I asked him to send An Ran to the Lu family."
Shi Xing's heart skipped a beat.
It’s over. An Ran was fine with Lu Li, so she won’t get into trouble with Lu Ci, right?
Qi Chenyan: "What's wrong?"
Shi Xing: "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of her."
Shi Xing didn't want to bother him with something that was still uncertain, after all, he was very busy now.
So Shi Xing briefly spoke to him and then called Lu Li himself.
Lu Li was still nonchalant, "Sister, you called me after only being apart for a few hours, aren't you afraid that Qi Xiaosan will be jealous?"
Shi Xing didn't want to listen to his nonsense. She asked, "Brother Lu Li, are you at the Lu family now?"
"No, what for?"
Lu Li rarely lived in the Lu family and rarely came back after returning to the imperial capital. Shi Xing was conflicted: "How about you come back and take me to see An Ran?"
If Shi Xing hadn't said anything, Lu Li would have almost forgotten about that person. "Why would you want to see her?"
"Come back first, you'll know when you see her."
She didn't dare to say anything until she was sure.
Lu Li was silent for a moment, helpless: "Alright, alright, you women are really troublesome."
He hung up the phone and Shi Xing curled his lips.
If you think women are troublesome and still want to fall in love, who would want to date you?
Lu Li returned very quickly, arriving in just over an hour. As soon as he saw Shi Xing, he complained, "Why are you thinking about meeting that woman? Qi Xiaosan told you to stop messing around."
"I'm not messing around."
Shi Xing was dissatisfied and too lazy to explain. She just asked him, "Where did you keep her?"
Lu Li sighed, "Put it at my brother's place. After all, we've all been out these days, and my brother's the only one at home. If she leaves it at my brother's place, he'll be able to keep an eye on her."
Shi Xing: “…”
So, maybe she was overthinking it?
Maybe Lu Ci was helping them keep an eye on An Ran, and when he saw her he thought he saw An Ran, so he asked that question?
However, she still pulled Lu Li and said, "Go see her first. Now that we are back, An Ran doesn't have to stay at your brother's place anymore. Bring her here first."
Besides, An Mingyi is already dead, so keeping An Ran locked up like this is not a solution.
She had to leave.
At that time, she will discuss with Qi Chenyan to figure out what to do next.
Anyway, An Ran, she will not let her go.
But she couldn't kill someone without a reason. The best way was to wait for An Ran to make a move. Shi Xing knew very well that as long as An Ran left, she would never be at peace.
Lu Li couldn't do anything with her, so he took her to where Lu Ci lived.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ci's bodyguards were all at home in the afternoon. When they saw Lu Li and Shi Xing, especially Shi Xing, the bodyguards all looked at him strangely, which made Shi Xing feel extremely uncomfortable.
She tugged at Lu Li's sleeve and whispered, "Ask them where An Ran is?"
Lu Li frowned and asked the bodyguards, "Where's my brother? He's not at the company in broad daylight. What is he doing at home?"
For some reason, when he contacted Shi Xing, he inexplicably wanted to find An Ran, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
The bodyguard said, "Master Li, the boss is taking a break today."
Lu Li was even more confused: "Isn't he a workaholic? Today is Wednesday, why is he taking a break?"
He said as he went inside: "I'm going to find him."
Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. Li, the boss is not convenient now!"
Lu Li sank. Inconvenient in broad daylight?
He gritted his teeth and kicked the person who was trying to stop him, "Get out of here!"
Seeing this, Shi Xing quickly winked at the bodyguards following her, asking them to come and help Lu Li.
The bodyguards were all assigned to Shi Xing by Lu Tian, so they naturally listened to Shi Xing's words and stepped forward without hesitation to help Lu Li stop the men.
Shi Xing and Lu Li took advantage of the chaos to sneak in.
Lu Li knew where Lu Ci lived, so he entered the living room and pressed the elevator to go to the second floor. By the time the bodyguards caught up with him, the two of them had already gotten on the elevator.
The bodyguard could only run up the stairs to chase them.
The elevator opened, and Lu Li pulled Shi Xing towards Lu Ci's room. Lu Ci's bedroom was at the very edge of the second floor. However, before they reached Lu Ci's bedroom, as soon as they got out of the elevator, they suddenly heard extremely ambiguous voices from a man and a woman in a room not far from the elevator.
The door of the room was not closed tightly, leaving a gap. This was Lu Ci's study!
Lu Li's heart sank completely.
Shi Xing also frowned.
It’s over.
Lu Li took a deep breath, not knowing whether to comfort himself or Shi Xing: "It's okay, maybe my brother is watching a movie!"
Shi Xing: “…”
Judging from your tone, do you believe it yourself?
As soon as he opened his mouth, the noise in the study stopped.
The bodyguard also caught up at this time. Seeing this, he didn't dare to speak loudly, and only lowered his voice: "Mr. Li, please don't embarrass us, go down first."
Lu Li glanced at them coldly and suddenly sneered: "What are you going down there for? I want to see what shameful things my brother is doing!"
He stared coldly at the half-open study door and said, "Brother, I'll count to three. If you don't come out of the study, I'll come in."
After saying that, he counted with gritted teeth: "One!"
Pause for a few seconds, then count again: "Two!"
He clenched his teeth even tighter.
Shi Xing bit her lip, feeling annoyed.
If it were Anran...
"three!"
Lu Li said this angrily and kicked the door. At that moment, the door was opened.
The man's voice was cold: "What's the fuss?"
The man Shi Xing had seen by the artificial lake before appeared in front of the door.
At this moment, he was only casually wearing a black nightgown, with red marks from fingernails clearly visible on his slightly open chest.
Shi Xing's pupils shrank slightly.
Following the door he opened, she looked into the study. She was standing diagonally across from the desk in the study.
I could clearly see a woman sitting on the desk, slowly pulling up the straps of her suspender skirt and looking over here with her head tilted.
It’s really Enron.
At that moment, Shi Xing's heart plummeted to the bottom.
An Ran met Shi Xing's gaze, raised her eyebrows slightly, and curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
"Am I making trouble?"
Lu Li naturally saw An Ran as well, and at that moment he almost collapsed. He said angrily, "Lu Ci, do you know what you are doing? Are you so hungry?"
Lu Ci's already cold expression became even colder, "Lu Li, be careful with your words!"
"What sense of propriety!"
Lu Li took two steps forward and grabbed his robe. "You know your limits, you know your limits, you sleep with any woman you want?"
Lu Ci glanced at the bodyguard next to him, and the bodyguard hurried forward to pull Lu Li away.
Lu Ci straightened his nightgown, looked away from Lu Li, and looked at Shi Xing. He paused, "Are you Qi Xiaosan's wife?"
Shi Xing frowned and nodded: "My name is Shi Xing."
"Ah."
He retracted his gaze and turned around: "Take Li Shao and Miss Shi downstairs to sit for a while, I will be down soon."
After saying that, the study door closed again.
Lu Li struggled to break free from the two bodyguards who were holding him and kicked the door angrily.
Shi Xing pulled him back: "Go wait downstairs."
Lu Li's face was extremely ugly, but he still followed her downstairs with a stern face. When he turned around, he kicked the bodyguard who had just pulled him back: "You are quite strong in pulling me back. You didn't even bother to pull me back when he did something like this? You guys are all idiots!"
bodyguard:"……"
No, do they dare to do such a thing?
When they arrived at the living room downstairs, Shi Xing and Lu Li were sitting on the sofa, looking at each other in annoyance.
Lu Li really regrets his decision now. Why did he bring that woman to the imperial capital in the first place?
Now that she is entangled with Lu Ci, what should I do?
Lu Ci came down very quickly. In just over ten minutes, he had dressed neatly and gone downstairs.
Lu Li suppressed his impulse at this moment, raised his eyes and stared at him coldly.
Lu Ci ignored them and sat down on the sofa opposite them with a calm expression, crossing his legs. "Come to see me, what's going on?"
He looked at Shi Xing as he spoke.
Shi Xing lowered her eyes, then looked up at him and said seriously, "I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see An Ran."
Lu Ci curved his lips slightly, "What do you want to do with her?"
Shi Xing's eyes were calm, "I want to take her away."
Lu Ci smiled: "Who is Miss Shi to her? What is her relationship with her? What reason do you have to take her away?"
Shi Xing frowned, but before he could say anything, Lu Li sneered, "She's my woman. I slept with her before you did. What reason do you have for us to take her away?"
The smile on Lu Ci's face faded, and he looked at Lu Li: "Have you slept with her?"
"Yes, I have slept with her more than once. Don't you know?"
Lu Li laughed sarcastically: "You fucking slept with your own brother's woman, you're not a human, you're a beast!"
