Chapter 343: Setting Her Up?

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Setting Her Up?

Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t even had time to close her eyes when she crashed directly into the man’s profound eyes, deep like the sea, as if with a magic pull that drew her in.

The room was silent and still, and she could clearly hear the man’s breathing. The man’s kisses were light, shallow, and gentle.

Song Jinze saw that the woman seemed nervous and a bit shy, his lips curved slightly, and he reluctantly pulled away from her cool, soft lips, his words enigmatic, "Do you want it?"

Ye Zhenzhen breathed softly, her face blushing ever so slightly as she pushed him away again, frowning slightly, "Want what? Go want in your dreams!"

Having said that, Ye Zhenzhen was ready to head outside.

"Why are you getting angry? I’m talking about Xiao Chen wanting a suggestion for a sister."

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and said to the man irritably, "You give birth yourself!"

Song Jinze watched the woman’s retreating figure and chuckled softly, his profound eyes filled with helplessness and fondness...

...

After taking Xiao Chen to kindergarten, Ye Zhenzhen went with Yu Lili to the Little Pink Elephant, arriving at the same time as Liu Rui.

The staff at Little Pink Elephant came out enthusiastically to greet them and show them in.

The whole morning’s shoot went smoothly; Ye Zhenzhen was very experienced in her own right and conducted herself professionally, earning constant praise from the staff.

Liu Rui watched from the side, very pleased.

Truth be told, she had been delighted all night since finding out yesterday that Ye Zhenzhen’s husband was a super handsome guy—it was a feeling even more joyful than winning a lottery herself.

Before, when she saw the negative comments on Weibo, she was quite angry, and Ye Zhenzhen herself also seemed indifferent about those comments. Now, thinking it over, she felt that if she were Ye Zhenzhen, she wouldn’t care either.

She was good-looking and highly skilled in her business, with a handsome and wealthy husband. A powerful person like her couldn’t be hurt by anyone.

The more she thought about it, the more Liu Rui felt that Ye Zhenzhen was truly a treasure, regretting that she hadn’t tried to understand her better before, having missed out on so much time.

The advertisement shooting planned for a whole day ended at three in the afternoon.

The crew was full of admiration for Ye Zhenzhen, coming up to take photos with her, and some who were already her fans asked for autographs.

While Yu Lili was packing things up, Ye Zhenzhen went to the restroom.

Upon coming out of the restroom, she got a call from An Xi. Ye Zhenzhen was somewhat surprised to receive a call from An Xi, not having her number saved in her phone, and puzzled about why An Xi would contact her.

"Zhenzhen, it’s An Xi. Are you busy right now?"

"Not busy, what’s up?"

Ye Zhenzhen walked while talking on the phone, not noticing that she’d taken a wrong turn and had unwittingly wandered to the emergency exit area.

Seeing it was empty around, she decided it was a good spot to finish her call before heading back, since the conversation with An Xi wouldn’t take long anyway.

"Zhenzhen, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have got the role of the second female lead in ’Ren Pingsheng’."

Ye Zhenzhen felt this gratitude was somewhat misplaced and she straightforwardly responded, "If you’re mentioning that, then it really has nothing to do with me. The producer did approach me, but I declined."

"I still need to thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance. Zhenzhen, do you have time? I’d like to take you out to eat!"

When An Xi said this, she simultaneously hoped that Ye Zhenzhen would agree and hoped she wouldn’t...

Ye Zhenzhen made an excuse. "I don’t have time these two days; I’m quite busy this week. But you really don’t need to be so polite, it’s not related to me."

For some reason, An Xi felt a sigh of relief upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s response. She smiled, "Okay, then let’s plan for another time. It doesn’t have to be to thank you. It’s fine to ask you out for a meal and, by the way, to get some advice on how to interact with kids."

"Sure, let’s make plans when we’re free."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhenzhen was about to walk back.

She had just lifted her foot to step when she heard footsteps outside. "Hey, Ye Zhenzhen herself really isn’t bad looking, indeed quite beautiful, and the shooting just now was very professional."

Ye Zhenzhen recognized the voice; it was the photographer’s assistant, a clean-looking young man.

"You only see her beauty, but what’s the use? She married a terrible old man and then uses her beauty to seduce other men everywhere. Haven’t you seen the Weibo posts? She’s seducing Best Actor Xiao one moment and dining with rich men the next, even having them buy her dresses. What’s there to envy about such character!"

Ye Zhenzhen frowned; she did not recognize this man’s voice.

Unexpectedly, she encountered her "haters" in such a place, and a live one at that!

Little assistant: "Those things can’t be trusted, right?"

The hater: "Even if those can’t be trusted, let me tell you..."

He lowered his volume slightly, "It’s said Ye Zhenzhen got close to our Director Ding through underhanded methods. The previous endorsement recommendations for Director Ding didn’t include Ye Zhenzhen. Somehow, Director Ding suddenly changed his mind and chose Ye Zhenzhen.

"And the Weibo post from our company’s official account, that was personally edited by Director Ding himself."

"Really?" The little assistant found it hard to believe.

"Well, that’s what I heard from our department. Ye Zhenzhen is the best at hooking up with men. Maybe our Director Ding fell for her tricks, or maybe they’re having an affair..."

"You can’t just say things like that! There’s nobody here, but after we go out, you better not spread rumors!"

"Tch! I’m not the one spreading rumors. It’s all over Weibo. Let’s go, let’s go..."

Ye Zhenzhen was only separated from the two by a door. Her eyes were cold with anger. To say that Xiao Yi and Song Jinze bought her dresses was one thing—after all, she knew them—but to fabricate rumors that she was involved with Little Pink Elephant’s Director Ding...

That was something she couldn’t tolerate!

Ye Zhenzhen followed them and chased after them to the corridor. Then she called out, "You two, stop right there!"

The two in front stopped in their tracks, glanced at each other, and then turned pale when they saw Ye Zhenzhen approaching.

At the end of the corridor, there was only one emergency exit; Ye Zhenzhen had come out from there, meaning she had heard their entire conversation!

The little assistant was young and inexperienced; seeing Ye Zhenzhen getting closer, his heart started to race, and he felt incredibly guilty.

He had just snuck out with the staff from Little Pink Elephant for a quick smoke and casually chatted about the person in question, not expecting to get caught like this.

The guy next to him, however, stood tall as if he was in the right and not afraid; he even raised his chin and looked disdainfully at Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen saw right through the two of them. She pointed directly at the man next to the little assistant and asked coldly, "You were the one fabricating stories about me just now, right?"
