Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Not Dating

Sheng Yan’s lips lightly pursed as he allowed a faint smile to cross his face, the first since Mrs. Sheng had misunderstood him. Coincidentally, it was seen by Zhang Ming, who was sitting opposite him.

Zhang Ming frowned, his expression becoming serious as he studied Sheng Yan intently, while Sheng Yan remained oblivious.

In the WeChat group, Sheng Yan asked indifferently, "Do you still want to see the video of me walking the runway?"

He Jinxia: "Aren’t you already at home?"

Sheng Yan: "But I have that outfit."

He Jinxia understood what Sheng Yan meant, and with a smile curving her eyes, she rolled around on the soft bed and said, "Then send it over to have a look."

Sheng Yan: "Okay."

After the two had ended the call, Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. He were still somewhat confused. It was a group voice call, after all, and the departure of one member didn’t affect the others, so they were still on the call.

Mrs. Sheng: "Did they overlook something, like, the opinions of us two old folks?"

Mrs. He covered her mouth to stifle a giggle: "The young people are really in love. Let’s have them video call later, I won’t interfere. The store is quite busy with customers tonight."

Mrs. Sheng, thinking quickly, added: "I’m also busy, so I’ll stay out of it later."

Therefore, when Sheng Yan dressed in the "Overlord" outfit, inspired by the ancient Hua Country Overlord, Xiang Yu, and opened the group video call, the only viewer was He Jinxia.

After chatting for over ten minutes, Sheng Yan noticed that He Jinxia was getting sleepy and decided to end the video call, reminding her to go to sleep early. He then went to the dressing room to change out of his clothes and into regular home wear.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by his agent’s expectant expression.

Zhang Ming looked at him and said sternly, "Sheng Yan, have you fallen in love?"

Sheng Yan glanced at him and proceeded to walk forward: "No."

Zhang Ming asked skeptically, "Tell me truthfully, do you swear it’s not true?"

Sheng Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth, "No."

Zhang Ming immediately felt a sense of relief, "Alright, I’ll take your word for it for now. If you’re in a relationship, you must tell me. A top star dating can cause an earthquake in the entertainment circle, and if not handled well, your acting career could be ruined."

Sheng Yan sat down in a chair, picked up a finance magazine, and said nonchalantly, "First, the media can’t touch me; second, I’m really not dating."

His eyes darkened slightly, his long fingers gently tapping on the tabletop. Hmm, was he still... pursuing?

In his ears, Zhang Ming’s notably more relaxed speech carried over, "That’s good to hear. Rest up these days; you have a few more shows to attend."

The next day, He Jinxia began shooting indoor scenes after getting married on the set.

The indoor scenes were primarily set in the Ciming Family’s mansion, occasionally moving back to shoot at the Su Mansion.

In the TV drama, by the time Su Qingwan marries into the Ciming family, the plot of "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" is already halfway through. As the story progresses, Su Qingwan’s scenes become fewer, but she remains integral to the entire series until its end.

This is why He Jinxia was willing to take on the role of Su Qingwan. The character had strong development, from beginning to end, constantly in the viewers’ sight. As long as the performance was good, the impact would not be inferior to that of the second female lead.

While having her makeup done, He Jinxia closed her eyes to rest and reflected on the scenes depicting Su Qingwan’s life within the Ciming family.

After coming to the Ciming family, Su Qingwan began to lead a tough life.

Although she wasn’t pampered like a treasured pearl in the Su Mansion, she had everything a legitimate daughter should have, and the Family Head and Matriarch of the Su Mansion also showed her a lot of affection.

Once she had married, everything had changed. She had to serve her in-laws well and build good relationships with the maids and servants to conveniently gather information.

At first, Su Qingwan thought the best way to connect with the servants was by treating them sincerely, not as servants but with a genuine heart; but ultimately, she realized how naive her original thoughts were.

The most effective method in this world was just two words: "silver."

Next, they were going to shoot the scene where Su Qingwan decided to use silver to bribe the servants to help her gather information about Jiayou in Ciming.

The scene went smoothly, and He Jinxia’s control of her emotions was excellent, which relieved the executive director. At least until He Jinxia left the crew for the holiday, he wouldn’t have to worry too much.

Worry about what?

Worry about the actors not being strong enough and delaying the plot!

But now, there weren’t many days left until the New Year... Thinking of this, the executive director’s heart, which had just settled, began to feel uneasy again.

After the scene was shot in the evening, Luo Sifang specifically came over to invite her to dinner, saying it was just the two of them and using the pretext of discussing the scenes.

He Jinxia pulled out an excuse she had already thought of, saying she needed to go to the hospital later to check on her health.

Hearing her say this, the smile on Luo Sifang’s face faltered, and after talking a bit more, she left.

Once He Jinxia had changed out of her elaborate ancient costume, she was approached by Yang Xiaoqing.

Yang Xiaoqing had also finished for the day, and changed out of her costume, wearing very modern attire, she smiled and asked, "Jinxia, want to go out for some fun?"

He Jinxia shook her head, apologizing, "I’m sorry, I was supposed to go to the hospital last time and didn’t make it. Tonight, I want to go check on that, as I’ve been feeling quite unwell lately."

To Yang Xiaoqing, health was of utmost importance. Hearing this, she did not insist further and advised He Jinxia to take good care of herself, then turned and left.

Cheng Xiaohua quietly observed everything and only when the two had departed in their cars to rest at the hotel, did she dare to ask, "Could it be that Luo Sifang and Yang Xiaoqing are at odds again?"

He Jinxia was routinely scrolling through updates on Weibo on her phone and replied indifferently, "Possibly, but it’s none of our business. Just focus on what we need to do. I won’t get involved, and you should be careful not to get dragged down too."

There is a world among stars, just as there are battles among assistants.

Although an issue with an assistant may not reflect directly on the star, as everyone is an adult and make their own choices, one important aspect is that assistants are there to serve the stars.

If an assistant encounters an issue, people often think first of whether the star they’re serving has problems too.

On this note, Cheng Xiaohua confidently said, "Don’t worry, their issues absolutely won’t involve me. Their assistants had been saying they needed to see me on the set, and I declined them all.

I’m not foolish. If you’re not picking sides, I definitely won’t either. There’s no benefit in choosing sides, so why bother looking for trouble?"
