136: Chapter 140: Past Fate (8) 136: Chapter 140: Past Fate (8) He never expected to encounter her on this trip to Huaxia Country.
He was there on the orders of a woman known as MISS-YU, to take a look around Huaxia Country, particularly to pay attention to Yu Zexiao.
He did know that Yu Zexiao had been making a name for himself in the Asia-Pacific Region for the past three years, yet originally, he had risen to prominence in the United States!
Ya Jiayi hadn’t told him many details, and he had thought that the company’s investment was primarily aimed at scouting out Yu Zexiao.
Considering his contract with Starlight Entertainment was nearing its end, could it be that the company was planning to heavily promote him next?
Otherwise, why would they ask him to keep an eye on everything about Yu Zexiao, from his preferences to the scandals surrounding him, his strengths and oversights, and even the woman he truly loved…
At that dinner, he saw Jian Anning rush out of the private room.
He could hardly believe it, could this be a divine directive?
Otherwise, how could he have bumped into her on his very first day in Huaxia Country?
Later, he saw a man follow her out.
She seemed to have a close relationship with the man, but because of the angle, he couldn’t see Yu Zexiao’s face as it was turned away from him.
When he saw her leaning into the man’s chest, his mood still fluctuated.
Then Zhao Ziyin’s arrival made him even more certain of Jian Anning’s identity.
Pretending to be drunk, he stood at the door of the private room, listening to their conversation.
He knew that the man was yelling at her with an unpleasant attitude, while she remained silent, seemingly tolerating it quietly.
Zhao Ziyin even felt indignant on her behalf.
He hid to the side, not rushing out, yet his fists slowly clenched.
But, he had never imagined that they would run into each other so quickly!
On the set, when he saw the furious Jiang Xuanqi lunge to chase after and hit Jian Anning, he was stunned.
Nearly without thinking, he stepped forward to stop Jiang Xuanqi, but… he dared not look at her.
Afterward, he was taken on a tour of the set by the enthusiastic Director Li and the crew members.
Originally, he was there for Yu Zexiao, but at that moment, his mind was filled with images of Jian Anning!
Why had she left Canada to come here?
Why was she being scolded by someone like Jiang Xuanqi?
Why didn’t anyone around come to her defense when Jiang Xuanqi lunged to hit her?
Who was that man from last time?
Yet Jian Anning had slipped away, not among these people.
During the tour, he casually asked, “Just now, who was the woman that the female lead was hitting?”
“Oh, you mean Jian Anning?” Director Li said, “She’s Zexiao’s assistant, usually a pretty nice person.
But she doesn’t get along well with Xuanqi.
They probably argued over something trivial just now.”
Just moments earlier, Director Li had also gotten a rough idea of the situation from a crew member.
It was Jiang Xuanqi who picked the fight for no reason, only to be put in her place by Jian Anning.
Although it was Jiang Xuanqi’s fault, considering her fame, if it weren’t for Yu Zexiao valuing Jian Anning, his response to Lu Jiayuan might have placed all the blame on Jian Anning.
