Chapter 247: Chapter 248: Open Your Eyes, Don’t Be Deceived

When the atmosphere turned somewhat gloomy, Zhang Yuanyuan looked around and saw that some actors by Director Li were already getting up to leave. Her eyes brightened, and she leaned in close to He Jinxia:

"Sister Jinxia, are you leaving now? I’ll go with you!"

Hearing her say this, some of the other stars immediately stood up and stated they were leaving too.

He Jinxia nodded slightly, her gaze casually swept toward Director Li, and seeing Sheng Yan still playing with his phone while she hadn’t received any messages from him, she felt a bit disappointed.

The suspicions in her mind seemed about to become reality, and her heart ached faintly. Could it be that Sheng Yan really had a fickle heart?

She denied it inwardly, convinced that Sheng Yan wasn’t that kind of person, but reality was telling her that today, Sheng Yan was very abnormal.

She had long been accustomed to her boyfriend’s occasional sweet messages, but today, although he was right in front of her, he hadn’t sent a single one. Being here was even worse than not being here at all!

"Sister Jinxia?" Zhang Yuanyuan, seeing her distracted, couldn’t help but ask in confusion. Following her gaze to Sheng Yan, she smiled mischievously:

"Sister Jinxia, do you think Brother Sheng Yan is really handsome?"

He Jinxia managed a strained smile, her fists tightening slightly, "Yes, quite handsome."

"What a pity. Who knows what kind of girlfriend Brother Sheng Yan will end up with, and which woman will be so lucky to become his wife."

Zhang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh, somewhat wistful; anyway, it definitely wasn’t going to be her.

As for Sheng Yan, she always regarded him as an unattainable idol, much like a celestial being.

He Jinxia couldn’t help but take another look at Sheng Yan, seeing him still occupied with his phone, a sour feeling washed over her heart, coupled with a tinge of annoyance. She didn’t know who he was chatting with so intently.

In frustration, she hung her head and clenched her fists, murmuring faintly, "Anyway, it won’t be me."

Zhang Yuanyuan let out a laugh, "And it definitely won’t be me either."

With their hands linked, the two of them left.

Outside the hotel, the car to pick up Zhang Yuanyuan hadn’t arrived yet, so He Jinxia stayed with her to wait.

Zhang Ming and Cheng Xiaohua saw her come down and got out of the car to join her.

Cheng Xiaohua was lively and Luo You was composed but not stuffy; they were both quite nice to Zhang Yuanyuan. They could chat well together, and the group didn’t feel the wait was very long as they talked.

When the car arrived to pick up Zhang Yuanyuan, He Jinxia suddenly remembered something, and had Cheng Xiaohua take out two exercise wristbands. She took them and handed them to Zhang Yuanyuan.

She said, "Try these out; they’re quite helpful for exercising. Your mother can use them too if she wants to lose weight through exercise; these bands are pretty useful."

Zhang Yuanyuan was stunned, almost failing to catch the wristbands.

She hurriedly caught them and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Jinxia, this is your stuff, I..."

"It’s fine, I have a bunch of them here, take it," He Jinxia interrupted with a smile, urging her to hurry into the car.

Zhang Yuanyuan was touched, although aware that He Jinxia was doing her a favor, she still felt that Sister Jinxia was really nice. She got into the car with frequent backward glances and even made plans to meet up with He Jinxia for fitness when they had time.

After Zhang Yuanyuan left, Luo You also took He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua and departed.

The night was deep, and everyone had been busy all day. Luo You didn’t dare drive at night under such mental fatigue, so they decided to rest overnight at a hotel near Film City.

In the car, Luo You asked, "Are you and Zhang Yuanyuan close?"

He Jinxia shook her head, "I just met her. I took care of her because she’s still young."

Luo You said, "That’s good. I thought you were going to stay a shut-in and not socialize."

Speaking of this made Luo You quite helpless.

One couldn’t say that He Jinxia was dull; she was actually lively and cheerful in private, but that was only with people she was close to.

To outsiders, she was considered a very reclusive and shy female star.

He had even thought his artist would continue her detached approach to acting until the end of time!

"It won’t be like that," He Jinxia’s crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from inside the car. "I won’t always be a shut-in; making more friends and having more connections makes everything easier in the future."

A trace of relief flashed in Luo You’s eyes as he said earnestly, "Right, you’ve been filming for the past year, practically living on set, and you haven’t gotten to know many people. Even if you do, you don’t have time to hang out with them. That’s my negligence.

For your future schedules, I’ll adjust them to ensure you have a few days each month to go out and have fun. You’re still a young woman, with few encounters and simple thoughts. Going out more to see the world can help you see people more clearly."

He Jinxia was taken aback and furrowed her brows slightly. That comment seemed to carry a double meaning.

Cheng Xiaohua seemed to think of something and chimed in, "Brother Luo is right, Jinxia. You’re young and don’t know many people. You don’t realize some have ill intentions and might approach you on purpose. You need to keep your eyes open and not be easily deceived by anyone’s sweet talk!"

Finally, He Jinxia understood where that strange feeling in the pit of her stomach came from.

Luo You wasn’t explicit, but Cheng Xiaohua’s message was clear—it was about her dating someone.

No wonder, ever since wrapping up at the set yesterday, Brother Luo and Sister Xiao Hua were both behaving oddly; they were concerned about this matter.

He Jinxia’s eyes narrowed slightly, her mind a bit hazy. In her previous life, she had already reached the age to marry. Transferred to this life, she was in a younger body, and Huaxia people generally married later. At her current age, it was the perfect time to date.

Her slender, jade-like fingers tapped gently on her leg, hesitant, unsure whether to reveal her relationship with Sheng Yan.

She had asked Sheng Yan before, and he said that if Luo You inquired, it wouldn’t hurt to tell him, as after all, an agent should be kept in the loop.

If it had been before, He Jinxia would have smoothly broached the subject, but today, she was uncertain.

Today Sheng Yan hadn’t sent her any messages the whole day, nothing in the group chat either. When she went to the wrap party, he was just busy with his phone, not caring about her—she didn’t even know who he was chatting with so intently...

He Jinxia’s eyes dimmed, her heart a little panicked. Had she really misjudged someone?

"Brother Luo, I..."

Luo You’s eyelids twitched, a bad premonition washing over him as he quickly said,

"You’re still young; there’s no need to rush into decisions. Be careful and deliberate, know that even making friends requires caution. If you really feel that guy is good to you and he won’t change, then come talk to Brother Luo. Both Sister Xiao Hua and I will discuss it with you."

Cheng Xiaohua echoed, "Right, Jinxia, you must tell us. Don’t let those lousy men deceive you! So—"

She paused mid-sentence, cautiously asking, "Jinxia, are you seeing someone?"
