Bigshot Gets Loved By All After Transmigrating Into A Book - Chapter 752

Chapter 752 Can You Help Me Keep This Secret

Yu Zhengchu covered his face. He lowered his head and turned his face away. His expression could not be seen.

Ye Jie was stunned. “Sister…Sister Jing…”

They were inexperienced in such matters and did not know how to handle them.

However, in the next second, Yu Zhengchu turned his head and grabbed Liu Jiejing’s hand as if nothing had happened. He coaxed her, “Since you’ve already lashed out, can you please calm down?”

Liu Jiejing’s expression became slightly better.

She crossed her arms and turned around, saying, “Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you anymore.”

Jiang Xingyi looked at the scene without raising his eyebrows. How could the people present not see that Liu Jiejing was just using the topic as an excuse to make a scene? It was Yu Zhengchu who had given her a way out, so she just happened to follow suit and covered up what had happened just now.

Everyone sighed in their hearts. Yu Zhengchu and Liu Jiejing probably did not have an easy time together. If she did not respect Yu Zhengchu outside, then at home…there was no need to second guess it.

The directors looked at each other. This was a live broadcast! Liu Jiejing had hit someone in public. Even though it was her husband, it seemed to be a family matter. However, everyone knew that Jiang Xingyi and Liu Jiejing had a conflict first, and Yu Zhengchu had become cannon fodder. After this segment was broadcasted, the response toward Liu Jiejing would not be favorable.

[I, I, I…I didn’t see it wrongly, right? The Movie Queen hit someone?]

(The Movie Queen is too ruthless!]

[Previously, there were people who bragged about how the Movie Queen was a generous and noble person. This is quite noble. She’s the Empress Dowager! She’s quite generous. She gave her husband a slap!]

[It’s just a small family dispute. To paraphrase what our Sister Jing said, don’t go overboard. How do you know that this isn’t the normal way of a married couple? Brother-in-law hasn’t said anything yet. Why are you guys in such a hurry?]

On the screen.

Yu Zhengchu stood up.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

When Jiang Yu came out of the bathroom, she happened to meet Yu Zhengchu by the sink. He turned on the tap and splashed cold water onto his face. Jiang Yu glanced at him and saw the red marks on his face. She raised her eyebrows but did not say anything. After washing her hands, she was ready to leave.

However, Yu Zhengchu stopped her. “Sister Yu, let’s go back together.”

There were no segregated bathrooms in the cafe. Everyone went to the backyard and shared one bathroom. However, as the cafe was a scenic spot, it was cleaned every few hours, so it was not dirty. If they were to go back, they would have to pass through a corridor.

Jiang Yu did not refuse. “OK.”

The two of them walked side by side.

Jiang Yu wasn’t prepared to care about other people’s personal matters, but Yu Zhengchu took the initiative to ask, “Sister Yu, is the mark on my face obvious?”

Jiang Yu: “It’s all right.”

Yu Zhengchu said softly, “It’s a palm print.”

Jiang Yu acknowledged him.

Yu Zhengchu looked at Jiang Yu.

She was simply too calm. She had obviously noticed it early on, yet she pretended not to have seen it. If he had not taken the initiative to mention it, Jiang Yu probably would not have asked anything until they returned to the table. This made Yu Zhengchu feel like an insignificant stranger in front of her, even though the truth was that she was.

Yu Zhengchu continued, “It was Jiejing.”

Jiang Yu finally stopped in her tracks. She looked up at Yu Zhengchu and asked expressionlessly, “So, why are you putting this information in my head? Are you trying to emphasize something to me?” Yu Zhengchu let out a breath and said apologetically, “I’m sorry.

“It’s just that both of us have taken off our microphones so our voices won’t be heard. That’s why I suddenly feel like confiding.

“Maybe it’s because…you’re far away from the entertainment industry and you’re clean. I can’t help it…I feel like confiding. I’m really sorry. I’ve been suppressing myself for too long and I couldn’t help it. Can you forgive me and help me keep this a secret?”

Jiang Yu’s pitch-black pupils were still emotionless. She sized up Yu Zhengchu. He was well-dressed and had a red palm print on his face. Because he had just washed his face, there were even droplets of water on his eyebrows. His face was handsome and refined. Although he was old, time had not left much of a mark on his face. His gentle eyes were apologetic, causing his originally slightly disheveled face to be tainted with the aura of a scholar.

A strange thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Yu’s mind. If she was an inexperienced girl, would she feel sympathy for a man like Yu Zhengchu, who had gone through some hardships but was still elegant and polite, and who seemed to be oppressed by his wife? For example, if she had thought that he was worthy of someone who treated him better, how could Liu Jiejing treat him like this. But, she was a woman who could only be seduced by a certain male fox. She did not have any interest in an uncle like Yu Zhengchu.

Jiang Yu continued expressionlessly, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”

Yu Zhengchu was a smart person. He knew what was going on. He knew that Jiang Yu did not want to get involved in their private matters.

He did not say anything else. “Thank you.”

He stretched out his hand and said, “You can go first. Otherwise, people will misunderstand.”

Jiang Yu did not say a word as she walked in front.

Yu Zhengchu placed his hands behind his back as he strolled behind her.

He looked at Jiang Yu’s back and thought to himself, such a clean and beautiful young lady.

He really wanted to hide her away.

After Jiang Yu returned to her seat, she immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right. However, when she thought about what Yu Zhengchu had said to her and the conflict between Yu Zhengchu and Liu Jiejing, she disregarded it.

After resting, the group left the cafe. After strolling around the Red Factory, they were ready to go for dinner. As soon as Deng Bochao thought about Liu Jiejing’s arrogant attitude back at the cafe, he felt that if they had dinner together, they would have a conflict because of their different values. In the end, they would not get along too well. After all, everyone’s money was their own and they had their own plans. There was no need to accommodate others and change their plans. There was also no need to stop what was going to happen and let it happen. In short, he did not want Liu Jiejing to be picky at the dinner table.

Deng Bochao first suggested, “Why don’t we still eat separately tonight? Everyone has different appetites, so there’s no need to specially gather together.”

Ye Jie was hesitant. “But…if we split the food, it would be a lot more cost-effective…”

Nie Kaifeng casually said, “I can do either. You guys decide. I’m an easy person to satisfy.”

Chi Yixuan said, “Actually, we can eat together. Although we have different tastes, the difference shouldn’t be too big. We can just pick a random restaurant and that should solve the problem…”
