Chapter 294: An Unknown Call

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“How was your conversation with He Shi today? Filming should officially start tomorrow, right?” Jian Tan took a sip of the fruit juice on the table and gently asked Xia Wei about her schedule today.

Xia Wei paused in her actions of handing things to Jian Tan. Then, she replied as if nothing had happened, “There’s still some work to be confirmed over there. It won’t be so soon. 1 can go back to the production team to film tomorrow.”

Jian Tan glanced at Xia Wei when she heard that and did not suspect anything. He nodded and said, “Alright. Director Xu even said today that the two of us filmed this drama like parallel lines. If we didn’t really sign the contract, I would really suspect that we’re two different teams!”

“You’re right. This has nothing to do with you, but you insisted on interfering.” Xia Wei chuckled and complained lightly.

The wind leaked in from the camper van’s window that was not closed tightly, messing up Xia Wei and Jian Tan’s hair. The atmosphere became a little tense.

Jian Tan did not answer Xia Wei. He stretched out his arm and closed the car window.

Seeing that Jian Tan didn’t answer, Xia Wei added, “In the past, 1 only thought that I was a very stubborn person. I didn’t expect you to be the same. We’re quite similar in this aspect.”

Wang Ming and Wu Fan, who were sitting in the front seat of the camper van, seemed to have sensed the strange atmosphere between the two of them. Their teasing voices became louder. “Do you think Zhao Ying has been so worried for the past few days that his hair is about to fall off? The matter of the person who fell into the water has come to an end, but this show is still not allowed to continue recording!”

Wang Ming glanced at his direct little ancestor and helplessly started to make lubricant.

How could Wu Fan not know what Wang Ming meant? He chuckled and continued, “Sigh! It’s all because he’s greedy and wants to harm everything. Xin Xin’s fans are a group of mad dogs. Although there aren’t many of them, their attack power is strong! Heartthrob TA has been at the center of the storm with your Xia Wei. It’s not strange for the higher-ups to notice it this time. Anyway, it’s just a matter of resting for two weeks. It’s not a big deal.”

Wang Ming nodded when he heard that. He thought for a moment before continuing, “But 1 keep feeling that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems. Isn’t Chen Yuan still related to the person above? 1 feel that he ‘worked’ a lot in the middle. Perhaps he’s behind it!”

When Wu Fan heard Wang Ming mention this, he naturally could not help but think too much. The two of them slowly fell silent again.

With two managers conciliating the atmosphere considerately, Xia Wei stopped talking to Jian Tan. She retracted her gaze from the other side and was quickly attracted by the ringing cell phone on the table.

This was not the first time this unknown number had called. Xia Wei frowned suspiciously and picked up the call. “Hello?”

Jian Tan naturally did not miss Xia Wei’s frown. After looking up at her face, his attention was also attracted by her call because the confusion on Xia Wei’s face was very obvious.

“Who are you? Can you talk? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. Please don’t call me so often in the future,” Xia Wei said calmly to the person on the phone.

However, the other party clearly did not care about Xia Wei’s coldness and continued to nag. Jian Tan was far away and did not hear it clearly, but the vigilance and unhappiness in Xia Wei’s eyes had already made him wary.

“Who is it?” he asked Xia Wei.

As if she was impatient with the other party’s nonsensical behavior, Xia Wei heaved a sigh of relief speechlessly and hung up the phone in her hand. She muttered that he was crazy before looking up and meeting Jian Tan’s eyes.

She shook her head very gently and explained softly, “I don’t know who it is either. He didn’t say his name even when I asked him. He only rambled on and said something that others couldn’t understand. Something like ‘We’ve met before’, ‘We’ll meet again soon’, and thank me properly when the time comes. It’s strange!”

After hearing Xia Wei’s words, Jian Tan raised his hand and gestured for Xia Wei to show him her cell phone. He said in a low voice, “Is it a man? Does he call you often?”

He naturally handed the cell phone to Jian Tan. Xia Wei thought for a moment and shook her head. “This number looks unfamiliar. It will call from time to time these few days, but I’ve never picked it up. I just picked it up casually because I was tired of it. Help me block it!”

Without needing Xia Wei’s instructions, Jian Tan quickly blacklisted the other party.

He raised his hand and returned the cell phone to Xia Wei. He reminded her with a serious expression, “Don’t answer calls from strangers in the future.. Blacklist them if you encounter such a situation or let Brother Wang deal with it, understand?”
