CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 478: A GOOD HORSE DOESN’T EAT THE GRASS BEHIND IT

"The script originally set the ages of the male and female leads to be quite young, starting with newcomers, their fresh faces definitely look more appealing than those actors in their thirties or forties who still cling to youth idol dramas."

Wen Qiao nodded in agreement, "That’s right, and it matches well with me too."

Jiang Yao waved her hand in disdain, "I know you’re young, no need to emphasize it every chance you get."

Wen Qiao chuckled.

She had come back to Jiang City this time to sign the movie contract with Director Zheng. The contract had been drafted two days ago, but due to her busy schedule these past couple of days, she delayed it for two days and then hurried back to Jiang City.

"I’m signing the contract tomorrow, so I’m going out for dinner tonight, that’s okay, right?"

As Wen Qiao was reporting to Jiang Yao, she simultaneously sent a message to Director Zheng.

[Yao Aya: The Female Lead saw the choice for the male lead and expressed great satisfaction and also affirmed your talent in casting.]

Jiang Yao took the tablet to look, then raised her hand to tap on Wen Qiao’s forehead, "Can you tone down your infatuation a bit?"

"Being attracted is human nature. If you’re not looking at faces, then why do you like Ye Shengnan?"

"...."

Jiang Yao defended, "I have a pair of eyes that can see the beauty of the soul. Who said I liked him just for his face?"

"Come off it, why pretend to be such a good girl in front of me?" Wen Qiao bluntly pointed out, "If it wasn’t for his face, would you have placed your discerning eyes on him?"

Jiang Yao: "....."

That did make sense.

She timely changed the topic, "Who are you going out with tonight?"

"Shi Koufan. He said he wanted to treat me and Qi Ming to dinner as an apology for that trending news last time."

Bringing up that incident from the trending news last time, Jiang Yao sighed, "He’s a good kid; it really was a waste during those years at Shengchao."

Wen Qiao looked at her, "What’s with this immensely reflective elder tone, you sound just like my mom."

Jiang Yao glared at her, thought of something, and asked, "Speaking of which, does mom know about you calling off your engagement?"

The day they picked Wen Qiao up from Yujia Garden, Jiang Yao and Xiao Chu implicitly had not asked what exactly happened. A few days later, Wen Qiao suddenly mentioned that she and Fu Jinghen had called off their engagement, but she didn’t know the specific reasons and did not want to ask; she just wanted to inform them so that they wouldn’t bother Fu Jinghen about her matters in the future.

She added that they had dissolved the engagement peacefully, and if they were to unavoidably encounter Fu Jinghen in public in the future, they didn’t need to avoid anything.

Both Jiang Yao and Xiao Chu were her people and had initially badmouthed Fu Jinghen a bit, but had not brought it up again since then. Instead, it was Wen Qiao who would jokingly mention it every now and then. As the jokes increased in frequency, Jiang Yao and Xiao Chu became less cautious about it.

Scars, after all, everyone has them; constantly covering them up only makes them fester and rot—it’s better to expose the wounds to sunlight for faster healing.

If they continued to avoid the topic, it would only constantly remind Wen Qiao of it. Only when they didn’t mind, would Wen Qiao gradually let go.

Wen Qiao’s expression froze for a moment, then she leaned back and closed her eyes, "How should I know if she knows? I’ve talked to her these past few days and she hasn’t shown anything; anyway, Fu Jinghen said he’d take care of the aftermath, why should I worry about it?"

Recalling the two words Fu Jinghen sent her yesterday made Wen Qiao feel stifled again.

Good horses don’t eat the grass behind them, what is he trying to do now?
