Chapter 135: Chapter 135: She Couldn’t Guess Who Was Behind it Trying to Take Her Down

Mo Qing straightforwardly said, "Then just change to another room."

He was also afraid that Qiao Xi being affected would delay the filming.

Qiao Xi felt it wasn’t necessary: "Changing rooms is useless, if someone wants to target me, it’s no use wherever I switch."

As a public figure, she couldn’t conceal her itinerary, and those with intentions would always find out.

Sheng Chao said, "I’ll arrange a few bodyguards for you tomorrow."

Qiao Xi gave Sheng Chao a faint smile, "Brother Chao, there’s no need to bother."

Sheng Chao implied with a light snort, "It’s not bothering me, I’m having him arrange it for you."

Qiao Xi of course knew who he referred to by ’him’, but it was even more impossible for Shen Dang to get involved in this matter.

"No need, I’ll be careful next time, it’s nothing."

Qiao Xi didn’t want to get entangled with Shen Dang.

Since she knew that the gift wasn’t from him, she just needed to be more vigilant in the future.

"Xixi, why don’t you stay with me tonight?" Su Tutu’s face showed concern, "I’m not at ease with you being alone."

Sheng Chao: "..."

What about him?

Qiao Xi glanced at Sheng Chao, whose face had already darkened.

Qiao Xi calmly smiled, "I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

President Sheng’s face was full of dissatisfaction, how could she disturb the intimacy of a married couple, that would be too improper.

Qiao Xi curled her lips, a light, shallow smile hung on her beautiful, dust-free face: "You all go back, I’m really fine, maybe that person was targeting our crew, not specifically me."

After all, the industry is full of underhanded tactics.

"Then I’ll stay with you tonight!" Su Tutu couldn’t abandon her sister for a moment’s pleasure.

Sheng Chao: "..."

Was he just abandoned like that?

Bei Bei said, "Otherwise, you can stay with me, it’s just that Sister Xi might be inconvenienced."

"You all stop worrying," Qiao Xi laughed helplessly, "hurry back, I’m tired and need to rest."

Qiao Xi locked the door, slumped on the sofa, exhaustion seeping through her delicate brows and eyes.

She couldn’t guess who was targeting her.

The dead mouse was clearly meant to intimidate her.

A sudden ringtone from the cellphone nearly startled Qiao Xi.

She glanced at the phone and realized it was Shen Dang’s call.

She answered but didn’t speak for a moment.

Shen Dang was also silent.

The surroundings were too quiet, Qiao Xi thought she could even hear the faint sound of an electric current.

This atmosphere made Qiao Xi feel suffocated, she said irritably yet pretending to be calm and indifferent, "If you’re not going to talk, I’m hanging up."

Making a call and not speaking, what’s wrong?

Shen Dang’s voice was low, "How are you now?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes were calm, "The police station has already filed a report."

"Hmm."

Qiao Xi thought of how quickly Sheng Chao and Su Tutu had arrived, "Was it you who called Sheng Chao and the others?"

Shen Dang casually hummed again.

His call had interrupted the couple’s moment.

But Boss Shen didn’t feel any guilt.

He asked faintly, "Can you guess who’s causing the trouble?"

Qiao Xi gave a cold laugh, "There are plenty who dislike me, I really can’t guess for the moment."

"Still able to joke around." Shen Dang’s eyes reflected a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Seems like I don’t need to worry about you that much."

"There was never a need for you to worry."

Qiao Xi replied swiftly.

As soon as she spoke, the silence returned.

Suddenly, Shen Dang chuckled, "Alright."

After he spoke, he hung up the call.

Qiao Xi exhaled gently, her words were rather heartless, weren’t they?

Qiao Xi laughed at herself, feeling helpless.

Her heart was in turmoil for a moment, and her mood wasn’t great either.

All because of Shen Dang.

Now, she and Shen Dang seemed to be in a cold war.

She had no idea how it had come to this.

It was entirely like facing an unsolvable problem.

The next day, Qiao Xi went to the filming site with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.

In contrast, Su Tutu faced her with a complexion that glowed with nourishment.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s dark circles, she said, "I told you to let me accompany you, you couldn’t sleep last night, could you?"

Qiao Xi asked, "Did Sheng Chao go back?"

Su Tutu laughed, "He plans to develop business here, so he won’t be going back so soon."

Developing business my foot, staying with his wife is the real deal, right?

Qiao Xi winked at her suggestively, "Truly worthy of President Sheng, then I really shouldn’t disturb you."

Su Tutu raised her hand, "Sisters before misters."

Qiao Xi brushed off her hand, laughing, "Cut it out."

At lunch, Qiao Xi was eating with the crew when Jiang Yongge suddenly stood up.

"President Shen, why didn’t you say you were visiting the set? I would’ve had someone pick you up!" Jiang Yongge was excited.

Only half a month had passed, and her immediate superior had visited again; clearly, he cared a great deal about him.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi was startled and looked up at Shen Dang.

Shen Dang "hmm" coldly and indifferently, not particularly warm, but it still excited Jiang Yongge.

After all, that’s just the boss’s nature.

But what Shen Dang was thinking about was who had come to visit his set?

Seeing Qiao Xi act as if she intended to ignore him for life, Shen Dang walked straight toward her.

A shadow cast over her, and Qiao Xi’s eyes became slightly dazed.

"Teacher Qiao."

Shen Dang’s deep voice was captivating.

However, it didn’t have quite the same effect on Qiao Xi’s ears.

What is he doing calling her out for?

Weren’t they supposed to tacitly pretend not to know each other?

"President Shen knows Qiao Xi?" Jiang Yongge sensed something odd between the two.

Jiang Yongge’s question was also what the people present wanted to ask; they hadn’t heard that Qiao Xi and Shen Dang knew each other.

"Teacher Qiao helped me out once before, you could say we know each other," Shen Dang’s lips curled up into a mocking smile.

"Oh yes, Teacher Qiao is also from Hai City."

Under many watchful eyes, Qiao Xi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at him and responded calmly, "Hello, Boss Shen."

Shen Dang spoke leisurely, "I didn’t expect you all to be having lunch, well then I’ll just ..."

Mo Qing, eager, said, "If President Shen doesn’t mind, would you like to try our crew’s boxed lunch?"

Before Shen Dang could answer, Qiao Xi interjected with an indifferent tone, "Director, are you not thinking? Boss Shen is who he is, how could he possibly eat a crew’s boxed lunch? It wouldn’t be right to treat Boss Shen like this, would it?"

Mo Qing thought Qiao Xi had a point.

The son of the heavens that was Boss Shen surely didn’t want to experience any common life.

"Well, Teacher Qiao, you are really mistaken. I don’t mind at all," Shen Dang raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, "Director Mo, give me a boxed lunch, I haven’t tried the crew’s boxed lunch yet."

"Quick, bring a boxed lunch for President Shen!" Mo Qing promptly instructed his staff.

Immediately, a staff member brought a boxed lunch for Shen Dang.

Shen Dang opened the boxed lunch and glanced at it; it had meat and vegetables, but truly, it didn’t appeal to his appetite.

Shen Dang’s frown was almost imperceptible.

Qiao Xi snickered at his disdainful look.

Being picky was typical of Boss Shen, expecting him to eat a boxed lunch?

His own cooking tasted excellent, and he was the owner of Tan Garden; why would he ever settle for less?
