Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Don’t Want to Tolerate Anymore

Cheng Bingbing suppressed the bitterness in her heart and turned to Xia Qingtian, saying, "Qingtian sister, let’s go."

She spoke and, taking Xia Qingtian by the arm, quickly walked past Huo Qilin and left.

Until the two had gotten into the car and driven away, Huo Qilin still stood there like a rigid statue.

In the following days, Cheng Bingbing returned to the film crew to continue shooting.

And this time, she was even more diligent and dedicated than before. She only wanted to finish the movie as soon as possible, and then leave the entertainment industry and A City without any lingering attachments.

Xia Qingtian, worried about her, stayed with her on set for a few days.

She found that Cheng Bingbing had just become less cheerful, but there weren’t any other significant changes. Gradually, she put her mind at ease, and then she began to investigate another matter: Mrs. Huo was fine before, so why did she suddenly start to doubt Cheng Bingbing’s identity?

The results of the investigation came out quickly.

She discovered that Shi Qian was definitely involved.

Mrs. Huo had received a call from Shi Qian before she arranged to meet Cheng Bingbing, and had also met with Shi Qian in person.

Shi Qian and Mrs. Huo had no apparent connection, yet right after their meeting, the issue of Cheng Bingbing’s identity exposure happened. Xia Qingtian didn’t believe for a second that Shi Qian hadn’t done anything.

Realizing this, Xia Qingtian was so angry she wanted to knock Shi Qian’s head off.

So much so that when Bo Jingyan invited her to dinner, she was still in a huff.

Bo Jingyan saw her adorable pouty look and couldn’t resist pinching her cheek, asking her, "What’s wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

Xia Qingtian had been holding it in for a long time.

She really wanted someone to join her in cursing Shi Qian. The most suitable person for this would have been Cheng Bingbing, but her mood had been down lately, and she was fully focused on her work. Xia Qingtian didn’t want to disturb her.

Moreover, for Cheng Bingbing, this incident was undoubtedly a sad memory. Talking too much about it would be like rubbing salt in her wounds.

She couldn’t do something so cruel, so now she could only talk to Bo Jingyan.

Xia Qingtian told Bo Jingyan about everything that had happened in the past few days, then went on to curse Shi Qian for half an hour. She felt somewhat relieved, but not completely, because she realized railing against Shi Qian here was pointless.

Let alone Shi Qian not hearing it, even if she did, it wouldn’t bother her. She might even take pride in her clever schemes for having messed up the relationship between Cheng Bingbing and Huo Qilin.

"Ah..." she sighed, her enthusiasm waning, "When can we find out who’s behind Shi Qian and deal with her, so she stops hopping around and making people sick?"

Bo Jingyan first poured her a cup of warm water to soothe her throat, then asked her, "Don’t want to put up with it anymore?"

"Don’t want to!" Xia Qingtian pouted, sounding somewhat resentful, "Even if it’s no use not wanting to, in the end, we’re still unable to do anything about her!"

"Leave the matter to me," Bo Jingyan said.

"Deal with what?" Xia Qingtian snapped back to reality and asked him.

"You’ll know very soon!" Bo Jingyan didn’t answer her question but instead picked up the chopsticks to serve her some food, urging, "Alright, don’t let irrelevant people affect your appetite. Eat first."

Xia Qingtian knew how stubborn he could be. Once he set his mind on not speaking, not even the ten most brutal tortures could pry his mouth open, so she didn’t press him further.

A few days later, the film Cheng Bingbing had been shooting finally wrapped up.

The crew held a wrap party.

As Cheng Bingbing’s boss and also her friend, Xia Qingtian would undoubtedly attend to show her support.

Cheng Bingbing couldn’t drink because of her pregnancy. As the lead actress and the focal point of today’s wrap party, many people came to toast her. Some drinks she could refuse, but for the director who had mentored her and some of the crew who had taken care of her, it would seem ungrateful if she didn’t drink at all.

Even though she had retired from the industry, she couldn’t afford to leave such an impression at the end.

In case she changed her mind in the future and wanted to return to the entertainment circle, any issues now could become stumbling blocks for her comeback. As her friend, Xia Qingtian naturally wanted to prevent that.

So, after the party started, she had Cheng Bingbing closely follow her.

She declined drinks on Cheng Bingbing’s behalf where she could, and where she couldn’t, she drank for Cheng Bingbing.

Despite turning down many offers, there were still just as many people in the crew to whom she had to give face. After making the rounds, she felt a bit woozy, and just as the producer came to clink glasses with Cheng Bingbing, she still took the drink for her.

"Please excuse me, but Bingbing has been feeling a bit unwell recently and can’t drink. I’ll take this drink for her," said Xia Qingtian, ready to toss back the drink.

However, before the glass touched her lips, someone stopped her.

"Stop drinking, you’re already drunk!" A low and pleasant voice sounded in her ear.

Even in her slightly intoxicated state, Xia Qingtian recognized the voice immediately.

Her eyes lit up, and she turned to look in the direction of the voice, indeed seeing a familiar figure—who else but Bo Jingyan?

"How did you get here?" Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan deftly took the glass from her hand, then pulled her close to his side protectively, letting her lean into his embrace, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

After he spoke, he turned to address the producer who had just tried to drink with Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing, "Mr. Li, if you feel like drinking, why not drink with me instead?"

Mr. Li had already recognized Bo Jingyan and knew he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

He quickly let out an ingratiating laugh, saying, "I wouldn’t dare."

Seeing Bo Jingyan’s affectionate actions towards Xia Qingtian, he tactfully added, "The director is looking for me. I won’t disturb you two. I’ll be on my way."

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Bo Jingyan’s reply. He dashed off as if his tail were on fire.

For the rest of the party, Bo Jingyan stayed close to Cheng Bingbing and Xia Qingtian. Those who knew Bo Jingyan dared not provoke him, and those who didn’t recognized the strong aura around him and knew better than to approach.

The wrap party went smoothly thanks to Bo Jingyan’s presence.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t touch a drop of alcohol under the protection of Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan, while Xia Qingtian had drunk quite a bit. Now feeling the effects of the alcohol and with Bo Jingyan by her side, she felt exceptionally secure and peacefully dozed off in his embrace.
