Ding Heng dismissed him, saying, "Then go upstairs, and remember to call your sister."

"Ah."

Wen Shu pushed open the car door in a hurry.

After closing the car door, she didn't leave immediately, but stood there for a few seconds, as if calming herself down.

Finally, he took a deep breath and rushed into the hotel as if fleeing.

……

A ride-hailing car is driving along Hubin Road toward the hotel.

Wenjing was scrolling through Douyin in the back seat when an old movie, Tsui Hark's version of "Green Snake," suddenly popped up.

The scene showed Green Snake and Xu Xian interacting in a bathtub, surrounded by steam. Maggie Cheung looked breathtakingly beautiful and alluring in the shot.

Wenjing quickly swiped away, but couldn't help pulling back for a quick glance.

When she was a child, she watched "The Legend of the White Snake," first the version starring Zhao Yazhi, and then the version starring Liu Tao.

In her mind, Xiaoqing's image was fixed.

Clever and quick-witted, loyal and devoted, lively and adorable, she is absolutely devoted to her older sister.

She really liked the character Xiaoqing at the time, and thought she was the best little sister in the world.

Then one day, Zhao Yanxi dragged her along to secretly watch Tsui Hark's "Green Snake".

For the young girl at the time, this film was quite explicit, and it shattered Wenjing's worldview.

She still remembers the thoughts that came to her mind after watching it.

WTF! ?

How could Xiaoqing...do that kind of thing...with Xu Xian...?

Therefore, she always felt that Tsui Hark's version was unreliable and too unconventional.

Xiaoqing is such a good younger sister, how could she steal her older sister's man?

The car stopped in front of the hotel, and Wenjing got out.

As she was about to walk towards the lobby, her gaze inadvertently swept over the hotel parking area.

Wen Shu stepped out of an Audi and strode into the hotel.

Sure enough! It was Wen Shu who used her credit card to check into the hotel yesterday.

Wenjing was hesitating whether to chase after her and say hello to her younger sister.

Suddenly, her expression tightened.

Wen Shu got out of that Audi, and it looked somewhat familiar...

Chapter 319: Jokes That Sisters Can't Take

Is that the Audi that Ding Heng drives?

Before Wenjing could figure it out, the Audi had already turned around and slowly glided up in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and Ding Heng leaned out, calling out to Wen Jing, who was in a daze.

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car."

Wenjing was still a little dazed, and she vaguely opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

After fastening her seatbelt, she glanced at Ding Heng out of the corner of her eye and asked a question softly.

How did you find me?

“You’re a grown man standing right there on the side of the road, and I’m not blind.”

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Come find Xiaoshu."

Ding Heng answered crisply and decisively, without the slightest hint of guilt or evasion.

"What do you want with Xiaoshu?"

"Have her call you and explain the situation."

Ding Heng smiled indulgently: "So you won't be left alone in the hotel, overthinking and getting yourself sick."

Wenjing's expression shifted slightly, and the next second her phone rang, the screen displaying the caller ID as "Xiaoshu".

I pressed the answer button, and Wen Shu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sister? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Hangzhou? If my brother-in-law hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were here too."

"I was just asking you that! What brings you to Hangzhou too?"

“I came here with my classmates. Didn’t I already say that I was going on a trip during the May Day holiday and didn’t want to go back to Changsha?”

Wen Shu tried to explain, "Sis, stop overthinking! I was just showing my classmate a five-star hotel experience. We weren't dating, and we didn't spend any money recklessly! The other suite was paid for with your membership points, so it didn't cost much."

Wenjing pondered for a long time before finally replying with only one sentence.

"Okay, I see."

Are you free tomorrow?

Wen Shu's voice became more lively: "Brother-in-law said that Sister Hua Qing has a performance tomorrow, and I want to go see it too. Can you take me with you?"

Wenjing glanced at Ding Heng, who was focused on driving, seemingly unconcerned about the conversation between the two sisters.

"Okay, let's go see it together tomorrow, and I'll contact you then."

"Okay! See you tomorrow!"

Wen Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone before hanging up.

Wenjing put down her phone, her mouth opening and closing, unsure of where to begin.

Her mind was full of questions, but every question that came to her lips was stopped by another thought.

Because she knew that once certain questions were asked, they would uncontrollably turn into interrogation and suspicion of Ding Heng, implying some unfounded possibilities.

Ding Heng saw through the little white rabbit's thoughts and took the initiative to pull over and park the car.

He said seriously, "I just came to check on Xiao Shu for you, and to have her call you to let you know she's safe, so you won't keep worrying about her."

Wenjing didn't respond, but lowered her head and talked about other things.

"Ding Heng, am I being really bad? Is this annoying? I'm putting so much pressure on Xiao Shu. She finally gets a day off to go out and have fun, and she still has to call me to explain and report back."

"Why are you blaming yourself? We're all sisters, let's try to understand each other."

Ding Heng lightly pressed the accelerator, restarted the car, and changed the subject.

"Hangzhou is such a big city, is there anywhere you'd like to go for fun?"

"I don't really know."

"Then let's go back to the hotel to rest? We'll pick up Hua Qing this afternoon."

"it is good."

……

At 4:30 p.m., Ding Heng and Wen Jing came to the theater again to pick up Hua Qing.

Ding Heng turned around and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, today we just went through the whole stage once to make sure there won't be any mistakes tomorrow."

Hua Qing rubbed her shoulders: "What are we having for dinner? I don't want anything too oily, and please, no more West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce, it's really unappetizing!"

"There are plenty of restaurants in Hangzhou that serve light and refreshing dishes. There's a place that makes good Longjing shrimp. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Let's go then, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm starving."

"Go, go, go."

Ding Heng sped up slightly, then suddenly said, "By the way, please prepare an extra ticket for tomorrow."

Hua Qing asked curiously, "For whom? Is Yan hope here too? Or is it for Lin Man?"

"It's Xiao Shu."

"Xiao Shu!?"

Hua Qing's pupils widened slightly, and her expression suddenly became subtle.

He wanted to say something, but felt it wasn't convenient, so he simply swallowed his words and nodded vaguely.

"Okay... I'll just have my agent arrange a private room for me. The front row seats are too crowded and inconvenient."

Ding Heng noticed Hua Qing's reaction in the rearview mirror and realized that the fairy had probably misunderstood. He let out a helpless sigh.

"Xiao Shu happens to be traveling in Hangzhou, and she wants to come and see your performance tomorrow."

"A coincidence? Okay..."

Hua Qing smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

Wenjing sat in the passenger seat and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Back at the hotel that night, Ding Heng, as usual, fell asleep with two women on his left and right.

The next morning, the film crew sent a van to pick up Hua Qing, while Ding Heng and Wen Jing went to the hotel's buffet restaurant.

After choosing their breakfast, the two sat down by the window.

Ding Heng picked up his coffee: "Why don't you call Xiao Shu? The performance doesn't start until tonight. Have her come over and show up during the day."

"now?"

A moment of hesitation flashed across Wenjing's eyes.

Ding Heng saw this and realized that things couldn't continue like this.

He put down his coffee cup, ready to get straight to the point and make things clear.

"Wenjing, I'm sorry."
