2.68% Hidden Marriage With Young Master Feng / Chapter 16: 014, There are always treacherous subjects who want to harm me!_1

บท 16: 014, There are always treacherous subjects who want to harm me!_1

The weekend passed smoothly, and aside from visiting Lang Xiyuan, Chu Liangxia picked up a few video editing tasks through different channels. She stayed up for two nights to complete them, finally scraping together enough to cover her recent living expenses.

Lang Lin wasn't one to make fuss. He spent the weekend quietly studying in his room, only leaving the house to visit the hospital with Chu Liangxia, and even then, he would notify her whenever he stepped out.

All Chu Liangxia needed to do was prepare three meals on time, which didn't interfere with her daily habits.

Monday, morning.

Chu Liangxia served breakfast and asked Lang Lin, "What time does the exam start?"

"Nine o'clock," Lang Lin replied.

"How many subjects?"

"Just one."

"I won't be back for lunch, you'll have to take care of it yourself."

"Mm," Lang Lin nodded slightly, not too bothered by it.

Chu Liangxia was used to this question-and-answer routine. After asking what she wanted to know, she got ready to eat.

After the meal, Chu Liangxia gave Lang Lin some living expenses before they both left the house one after the other.

The drive from Shuiyunjian to the TV station took ten minutes. If she still had time to spare, Chu Liangxia preferred to walk to work.

Clearly, she had overslept today. It wasn't very early, so Chu Liangxia took the bus to the TV station.

She arrived right at nine o'clock.

"Liangxia, good morning."

As soon as she entered the editing room, Lun Yi, who was carrying documents and walking out, greeted Chu Liangxia with a radiant smile on her round face.

"Good morning," Chu Liangxia nodded slightly and returned a faint smile.

"I need to deliver these documents first; I'll talk to you about something later." As soon as she finished speaking, Lun Yi hurried off.

Chu Liangxia shook her head slightly and then walked to her own desk.

Her desk was next to Lun Yi's. Both were interns who started at the same time. Lun Yi was naïve and straightforward, and they got along quite well.

"Liangxia," just as she turned on the computer, Director Zhu came over and asked kindly, "How's everything at home?"

Chu Liangxia paused for a moment and after a while, her lips curled into a stiff smile, "It's fine."

"Good," Director Zhu nodded with a hint of concern.

"…"

Chu Liangxia felt a bit ashamed.

The excuse for taking time off was made up on a whim to vent her frustration; she hadn't intended it to affect others.

Upon reflection, she really felt quite childish.

Having dealt with Director Zhu, Chu Liangxia was just about to organize her own video editing work when someone else approached her.

"Liangxia," a nearly ingratiating voice.

Minimizing the open folder, Chu Liangxia looked up at the visitor and asked with a smile, "What can I do for you, Yingying?"

Lou Yingying, 24 years old, had been at the TV station for two years, a year longer than Chu Liangxia. Her work ability was mediocre, but she was pretty; she was not focused on her job, but rather on networking and resources at the TV station, aiming to secure a good script and make an early breakthrough.

"Yingying, could you do me a favor?" Lou Yingying smiled sweetly, without a trace of caution one would expect when asking for help.

Chu Liangxia's gaze shifted as she slightly raised her eyelids and replied with a smile, "I'm a bit busy right now."

"It's fine; you can help when you're done," Lou Yingying said amiably.

"But..."

A flicker of annoyance flashed in her eyes as Lou Yingying cut her off, "It's just a small video, it shouldn't take you more than half an hour."

Chu Liangxia offered a gentle smile, a very amiable expression, "Sister Ying, I'm sorry, but I can't help you. If you really can't do the task, perhaps you could explain the situation to the director and let him assign it to someone else."

Her words successfully left Lou Yingying speechless.

Lou Yingying's work capability was subpar, and her mind was not on her work; she was always asking others for help, and over time this had caused annoyance among the people in their department.

Unlike her, Chu Liangxia was competent, easy to get along with, and although she hadn't been there for long, she wasn't the type to be pushed around easily; she had also helped others quite a bit and was more popular than Lou Yingying.

In the workplace, everyone prefers someone who is capable, intelligent, and reasonable.

However, Chu Liangxia's very existence became a thorn in Lou Yingying's side, a constant irritation.

Chu Liangxia had long anticipated that Lou Yingying would come to her, and of course, it wasn't just a simple "visit"—it was deliberately throwing the task her way with the ulterior motive that if it was well done, Lou Yingying would benefit, but if not, Chu Liangxia would bear the brunt of the failure.

She was content with her current life and had no intention of jumping into a pit.

"Xiaxia, how can you be like this!"

Lou Yingying's voice rose slightly, a whining tone with a hint of reproach, reaching the ears of several people around.

Everyone looked over but said nothing.

It's none of their business; they stayed out of it.

Chu Liangxia's eyes lifted slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Lun Yi suddenly appeared behind her and interrupted, "Sister Ying, our Xiaxia just lost her father; could you please let her have some peace?"

As the words fell, the surrounding looks immediately became strange.

Judging by Lun Yi's explanation, Lou Yingying truly seemed to be inconsiderate.

Thus, with her face turning red and then white, Lou Yingying was completely unable to continue speaking.

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

Managing to squeeze out those words, Lou Yingying turned and left quickly.

Chu Liangxia looked up and saw Lun Yi's sly smile, "We take care of our own things; don't mind her."

Knowing that Lun Yi was trying to comfort her, Chu Liangxia smiled and didn't say any more.

"By the way, Qin Yajun is coming to record a show later, to promote her new movie 'Eclipse of the Heart.' I'm planning to get her autograph during lunch. I remember you also like her movies, do you want to come along?" Lun Yi pulled up a chair next to Chu Liangxia, asked as soon as he sat down.

Qin Yajun, 30 years old, caught the eye of a well-known director at 18 due to her fresh appearance and temperament, rocketed into fame with a leading movie role, and had been popular ever since with a continuous stream of excellent work.

Chu Liangxia did indeed quite like her work.

But—

She had a mother who was even more famous than Qin Yajun.

Entertainment industry matters can't always be taken at face value, and Qin Yajun's character was nothing like her amiable on-screen persona.

Chu Liangxia appreciated her high-quality work but that did not mean she liked someone whom she had never even met.

"No need, I expect to be quite busy today," Chu Liangxia politely declined.

Their editing room was responsible for cutting "Goddess's Secret," and with a new episode taped over the weekend, the editing room was once again in a state of frenzy, busily watching videos on the computer, looking for parts to edit.

These one or two days each week were the busiest, with overtime being inevitable, and staying until one or two in the morning was the norm.

Chu Liangxia was in charge of editing Gongsun Shiqi's footage, a significant task ensuring she often worked overtime. Unlike Lun Yi and Lou Yingying, whose assigned tasks were much lighter.

"That makes sense..." Coming to a realization, Lun Yi then asked, "Do you want me to bring lunch for you?"

"It's fine," Chu Liangxia smiled, "that's the only time I have to walk around."

Seeing her response, Lun Yi nodded in understanding.

However, what Chu Liangxia did not know was that it wasn't just Qin Yajun coming this time, but also two other acquaintances.

Lou Yingying was like a bad omen, destined to ensure that Chu Liangxia wouldn't encounter anything good all day long.


บท 17: 015, There are always treacherous subjects watching me!_1

Noon, 12 p.m.

Chu Liangxia, who had been studying videos, was forcefully dragged by Lun Yi to the cafeteria to replenish her energy.

Her eyes were sore from the research, and it was indeed a good time to catch her breath.

The station's food had always been excellent, and even someone as picky as Chu Liangxia had nothing to say about the cafeteria uncle.

Lun Yi learned halfway through that Qin Yajun had finished recording her program, so she decisively ditched Chu Liangxia to go find her. Helplessly, Chu Liangxia had to get two servings of food.

Arriving a bit late, the cafeteria was already packed. Chu Liangxia found two more secluded spots, only to realize that Lou Yingying and her good friend were sitting at the next table.

No sooner had she sat down than she heard them gossiping.

And they were gossiping about an acquaintance.

"The second female lead in 'Eclipse of the Heart' is that Du Wenyin, right? I saw her today, she was recording a program with Sister Qin."

"I've heard of her. It's said she graduated from the arts college, debuted in her senior year, and for two years she's been on the fringes of the 18th tier. But she must have a strong background. She got famous from the 'Eclipse of the Heart' promotion."

"Pfft, the original second female lead for 'Eclipse of the Heart' was supposed to be the popular Zizhuo Xi. Although Zizhuo Xi is quite an acquired taste, her acting is solid and she has lots of fans. Now the role has been snatched away by Du Wenyin, who doesn't have any works to her name... hehe, the onlookers are all waiting to see her acting skills."

Lou Yingying chuckled lightly, adding meaningfully, "Who can blame her when she's willing to go all out? For the sake of a role, she can do anything."

Hearing this, Chu Liangxia paused in her meal, the corner of her eye sweeping over Lou Yingying's delicate face.

Sour grapes, eh...

This must be the scene they're talking about.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with her, and Chu Liangxia leisurely looked away, intending to continue her meal, but unexpectedly caught sight of a figure approaching from that direction.

The person in question was the center of the next table's topic, Du Wenyin.

Du Wenyin had a good foundation; her appearance might not stand out in the industry, but it was above average. She had an aura cultivated from a privileged environment, and even a simple knitted sweater worn on her stood out in the cafeteria.

Seeing her carrying her tray of food closer, the people at the next table silently closed their mouths.

After all, they were only bold enough to speak behind her back, not to her face.

Du Wenyin walked over slowly, after casting a cold glance at the next table, she headed straight for Chu Liangxia and approached the empty seat in front of her.

"This seat is taken."

Lifting her eyelids slightly, Chu Liangxia spoke in a calm tone.

With a small smile on her lips, Du Wenyin directly pushed aside the food on the table and placed her own tray down, then sat opposite her.

"The person isn't here, taking up space is just wasteful."

Meeting Chu Liangxia's cool gaze, Du Wenyin spoke provocatively.

Chu Liangxia looked at her for a moment and then at the meal she had left for Lun Yi. She didn't rise to Du Wenyin's bait and instead quietly continued eating her own meal.

"You've become more and more tolerant, haven't you?"

Leaning back lazily, legs crossed, Du Wenyin speared some vegetables with her chopsticks, her voice laced with obvious scorn.

Chu Liangxia didn't engage, she didn't even look at her.

Du Wenyin, Chu Liangxia's cousin and the daughter of Chu Yunxiao's sister, had grown up together, but their relationship was always poor and strained.

Such an exchange of cold jeers and sneers was not a new experience for Chu Liangxia.

"I heard you're friends with Zizhuo Xi." Regardless of Chu Liangxia's reaction, Du Wenyin continued.

Chu Liangxia paused slightly in her actions.

Zizhuo Xi was indeed her friend, and they were quite close.

Both of them were graduates of the film academy; Zizhuo Xi was a year ahead of her, and they both shared a passion for photography and met at the same photography club. Because they got along well, they subsequently spent a lot of time together. Zizhuo Xi entered the entertainment industry four years ago. With good looks and a strong presence, coupled with solid acting and well-chosen scripts, she rose to fame quickly. Just one year after graduation, she was already being considered for lead actress roles.

"I didn't steal her role," Du Wenyin stated coldly, her gaze fixed on Chu Liangxia.

It seemed like a defense, yet sounded more like an assertion.

"I know," replied Chu Liangxia impassively.

"You know?"

Looking up at her, Chu Liangxia's eyes conveyed a firmer certainty, "The roles she wants, you cannot snatch away."

"Heh," Du Wenyin let out a scoff, anger exploding from the depths of her eyes, "You seem quite pleased to hear them slander me."

"Not pleased, per se," Chu Liangxia lightly curved her lips, yet spoke the blunt truth, "but certainly relieved."

"Well, I have some less comforting news for you," the expression on Du Wenyin's face changed abruptly, her eyes darkened with mockery, "You might not be aware, but your dear stepmother just found out she's pregnant this morning."

"Does that concern me?"

Chu Liangxia tilted her head, seemingly indifferent.

"If you're not coming back to the Chu Family, then indeed it doesn't concern you."

Dropping the statement coldly, Du Wenyin then rose to her feet.

Fed up and uninterested in eating anymore, Du Wenyin left with cold eyes under the watchful gaze of the public.

Chu Liangxia paused for a moment, feeling the curious eyes upon her, but didn't bother to pay them any heed and continued eating with her chopsticks.

Only, for some reason, she had lost her appetite.

Although she had no desire to return to the Chu Family, such matters were not hers to decide.

Since there was one Feng Family, there would be a second; in these families, marriage served only to maintain interests. Chu Yunxiao had not raised her with all this care just to fail to make full use of her.

Especially a pretentious and affected woman like Lou Ruhui, with the new bloodline secured and Chu Yunxiao's long-standing desire for a son, she would undoubtedly become the favorite. When that time came, her word would be law, and naturally, there wouldn't be any good arrangements left for Chu Liangxia.

Chu Liangxia felt a headache coming on.

It seemed she would have to find time to lay out her fortune properly.

The meal felt tasteless, and by the time she finished, Lun Yi still hadn't shown up.

After calling Lun Yi, the reply was that she was still in line for Qin Yajun's autograph and told her not to wait.

Chu Liangxia, who had matters to attend, didn't have any intention of waiting doggedly for Lun Yi's cold meal. She got another portion of food packed up and then carried it towards the office.

But—

On the way, she was intercepted by a person she recognized.

"Miss Chu, what a coincidence."

Makeup artist Jiang Shan approached her, her smile gentle and spring-like.

Chu Liangxia stopped and scrutinized her for a moment.

After a brief pause, Chu Liangxia's lips curled into a smirk, "It doesn't seem very coincidental."

"I was, in fact, waiting for you," Jiang Shan admitted, the smile on her face deepened.

"Is there a matter?" Chu Liangxia asked in a neutral tone, neither warm nor cold.

"Shall we find a place to sit down?" Instead of stating her purpose directly, Jiang Shan proposed.

Chu Liangxia's gaze flickered with a touch of apathy, "I'm quite busy."

"Alright then, I'll be straightforward," Jiang Shan chuckled and then stepped closer to Chu Liangxia. Wearing high heels, she stood a few centimeters taller than Chu Liangxia. She leaned in slightly, locking eyes with Chu Liangxia and asked with deliberate emphasis, "The Weibo account named 'Yunliu's Summer,' it's yours, isn't it?"
