Chapter 659

She rested for about twenty minutes.

She kept wanting to sleep but couldn't.

She had Housekeeper Qin prepare some tea.

While drinking tea, Housekeeper Qin noticed something unusual, "Why does it feel like the old lady has something on her mind?"

Today, the young master and young mistress came over, and the old lady was clearly very happy; there were many people today, and it was lively enough, but why did the old lady start to look troubled after the guests left?

Old Lady Qiao took a sip of tea, frowned, and then spoke: "Today, Ziqi and Jiang Tu came over. Did you notice anything?"

Housekeeper Qin was stunned for a moment.

She reacted immediately.

There were some things the old lady could sense, and she could also see some things herself; after all, having taken care of the old lady for so many years, and having been influenced by her, her eyes were better than many people's.

She could also discern a thing or two about what kind of person someone was and what their intentions were.

"I won't hide it from you, Old Lady, I did notice. Ziqi likes the young master. I didn't think much of it when she was younger, but now that the child has grown up, some of her thoughts haven't been hidden well. You can tell she is jealous of the young mistress, though I think the young mistress must have noticed it too," Housekeeper Qin said.

Old Lady Qiao nodded, "You're right. That girl Xia Xia is intelligent and pure-hearted; such a smart child, how could she not notice? So she must be feeling uncomfortable."

"The young master's behavior was very clear; he keeps his distance from Song Ziqi, so the young mistress shouldn't overthink it. I'm just afraid that Song Ziqi won't see things clearly and will feel aggrieved when she sees the young master distancing himself from her," Housekeeper Qin said, having quietly observed the entire situation earlier.

Old Lady Qiao gave a huff, "That boy has some sense, at least he knows what should and shouldn't be done. If he dares to wrong Xia Xia, I won't spare him. You have someone keep an eye on things. Song Ziqi grew up under my watch; she looks innocent and lively, but in reality, she is very jealous and easily does the wrong thing out of envy. Don't let her hurt Xia Xia."

"Don't worry, Old Lady, I think the young master will handle it well. Besides, the young mistress won't be bullied easily. You can tell from the young mistress's personality: if you treat me with peace, I will certainly greet you with a smile; if you are shameless, she will certainly strike back with heavy Boxing, and she will definitely not suffer a loss," Housekeeper Qin said with a smile to comfort her.

Old Lady Qiao smiled and rolled her eyes at Housekeeper Qin, "Look at how you describe it, but it's actually quite accurate. Xia Xia's personality is to my liking."

"Old Lady, just focus on taking care of your health; as for other matters, the young master and young mistress can solve them themselves," Housekeeper Qin added.

Old Lady Qiao nodded, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."

——

For several days in a row.

Several events that Sheng An had originally scheduled were all cancelled by the organizers for various messy reasons.

These organizers had truly invited Sheng An repeatedly when they first reached out.

Having been an agent in the entertainment industry for so many years, Liu Hang smelled something unusual through the events of these past few days.

"Someone is targeting you and wants to blacklist you," Liu Hang said to Sheng An.

Sheng An was sitting on the office sofa reading a book. He didn't care that his activities had been cancelled for three days, and he could guess who was manipulating things.

Seeing that Sheng An was unconcerned, Liu Hang immediately pressed, "Do you know something?"

"Don't be so nervous. It's not that easy for the person who wants to blacklist me to do so. It just so happens that I've been a bit tired lately, so I might as well take a rest. That person can't touch the events and movies abroad," Sheng An said in a calm tone.

That meant he knew exactly who it was? Liu Hang raised an eyebrow: "Who exactly is it? Tell me. I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, and almost everyone gives me face, but no one dared to disclose this to me, which means the person who wants to blacklist you has the power to cover the sky with one hand in Jing City. Huh..."

"Wait, I think I've guessed who it is. Could it be Huo Jingyan?"

Sheng An gave a faint "mm."

Liu Hang's eyes widened, "It really is him? Why would he blacklist you for no reason? He cheated and Jiang Nannan found out; that's his and Jiang Nannan's business, what does it have to do with you?"

"Originally it had nothing to do with me, but he asked me to fire Jiang Nannan, and I didn't agree," Sheng An said.

Liu Hang cursed, "Damn it. Is he being too overbearing? What does he want to do? Is he trying to force Jiang Nannan to return to his side? I said it before, this marriage of Jiang Nannan's is not easy to end."

"So what now? If he comes forward to blacklist you, you might not be able to survive in the country."

Sheng An said indifferently: "No, I'll take a break for a while first."

"Damn! The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is, right?" Liu Hang was about to explode with anger.

When the two were chatting, they didn't notice Jiang Nannan standing in front of the door at all.

They had forgotten that this was an office in a studio, not their home.
