Chapter 40: Zhou Peeling

After Zhou Jingru left, Xia Rui remembered that she forgot to ask for leave from school.

But what kind of reason should she find for taking such a long leave?

Just when she was feeling embarrassed, Wei Xuan called and asked her what had happened and why she had taken such a long leave.

Leave?

Xia Rui thought that someone must have gone to school to help her ask for leave, but as for who it was, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"I'm fine, it's just a personal matter. After saying that, she hung up, she didn't tell him about her injury, she just hoped that he would stop getting involved in her affairs.

Qiao Rui and Qiao Zhen are not fuel-efficient lamps, and she doesn't want him to be injured by mistake.

The phone rang again, she thought it was Wei Xuan calling, and as soon as she connected it, she said, "It's all a private matter, can you leave it alone......"

"Private matter, what kind of private matter makes you not even answer a single call from me......" I didn't expect it to be Qiao Zhen.

She was stunned for half a second and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I thought it was the friend from before." It's not that I don't want to answer the phone, it's that I'm ......."

She was a little embarrassed, how to say this.

"Where are you, I'll come over right away!" Qiao Zhen's tone was unquestionable.

Xia Rui knew that she was not easy to refuse this time, so she said the place, and her voice immediately raised, "What, you're in the hospital! Are you sick?"

It can be heard that Qiao Zhen still cares about her.

"Come over here and I'll tell you again. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xia Rui felt a headache. How to explain all this to Qiao Zhen? Qiao Rui had ordered her not to see Qiao Zhen before, but she was not allowed to tell him the truth. Didn't he embarrass her?

It seems that now, she can only say that she took the initiative to enter the showbiz.

Qiao Zhen came over quickly, and was very surprised to hear Xia Rui's words. In his opinion, Xia Rui doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is full of dreams of being an artist. can see that Xia Rui is serious, and it doesn't seem to be lying.

"Then why didn't you tell me about this earlier, otherwise I could have asked my brother to help you......" He paused for a moment and asked again, "Then how did you know that my brother runs an entertainment company......"

Xia Rui smiled, "Actually, I also accompanied a friend to the audition, so I just stumbled into it by mistake." ”

Naturally, she didn't dare to say anything about what Qiao Rui forced her.

Qiao Zhen looked at her legs and frowned, "You are really, it's good to go to filming, why did you go to be a human flesh pad for others......?"

She smiled and said nothing.

"How long has it been?" Qiao Zhen glanced at her legs again.

"The doctor said 6-8 weeks. ”

Qiao Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter, he threw a bouquet of roses in his hand into her arms, and said, "I still have something to do, you can rest first, I'll ...... go."

Xia Rui said, "Okay. ”

Xia Rui wished he was leaving. She was worried that if Qiao Rui came suddenly, wouldn't it be a goof?

However, seeing that Qiao Zhen didn't seem to care too much about her injuries, she was even more sure that this man didn't love her as much as he said.

But it doesn't matter, she has seen his coldness in her previous life, so she can't hurt her. She was even more convinced that revenge on him was the right thing to do.

People are like this, and at critical moments, it is easier to see his essence.

Xia Rui glanced at the red rose in her hand, which was bright. She sneered and threw it on the bedside table.

Only then did I notice that there was still a card in the lily given by Xiao Jian.

She picked it up casually and saw that the words on it were strong and powerful, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced: I wish the benefactor girl a speedy recovery!

Signed: Xiao Jian.

Benefactor girl?Xia Rui smiled when she saw this strange title. This Xiao Jian is quite funny.

"Oh, it looks like you're recovering well, you can actually laugh......" A deep voice rang out.

She looked up and saw Qiao Rui walking in, followed by Assistant Zhang.

"Mr. Qiao. She called out respectfully.

Qiao Rui was very tall, and she felt very oppressed when she lay on the bed and looked at him.

saw him glance at the card in her hand, and pursed his lips, "Qiao Zhen sent it?"

She was stunned for a moment, and quickly denied it, "No." ”

Worried that he wouldn't believe it, she added, "It's Xiao Jian." ”

He was visibly stunned for a few seconds, his mouth moving but not speaking. Xia Rui actually guessed that he wanted to ridicule himself again, but he couldn't help it when he saw Assistant Zhang on the side.

Sure enough, he looked around, and finally couldn't help it, "Oh, all these flowers were sent by Xiao Jian?"

"Hmm. She nodded.

His gaze fell on the dazzling bouquet of red roses again, and he raised his eyebrows, "This too?"

"Hmm. ”

How dare she say that it was sent by Qiao Zhen, and she is glad that Xiao Jian is still a scapegoat.

It is estimated that because it is a red rose, Qiao Rui took a few more looks, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that he likes you." ”

Yes?

Xia Rui then remembered that the red rose represented love, no wonder he would say that.

However, isn't it funny to say this? Xiao Jian can be regarded as an actor, how can he like her?

"If you climb him well in the future, it may be of some help to your acting career......" Qiao Rui continued to damage her.

Assistant Zhang was used to hearing such hurtful words from him, so his expression was always the same.

"Okay, I got it. Xia Rui thought about it and replied lightly.

Qiao Rui was a little surprised by her calmness, and looked back at her again.

Xia Rui didn't dodge.

After a while, she said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest." Mr. Qiao, I won't delay your precious time......"

Assistant Zhang couldn't hold back this time, and his calm expression finally couldn't help laughing.

Qiao Rui's handsome face twitched fiercely, and said to Xia Rui, "Remember, your hospitalization fee is deducted from your salary......

After saying that, turn around and leave.

Assistant Zhang secretly made a goodbye gesture to her and hurriedly followed.

Xia Rui was dumbfounded.

If you want to deduct it from her salary, why do you have to live in such an expensive room? Isn't this deliberately manipulating her?

Zhou peels.

Hey, you know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

After seeing Qiao Rui, she felt physically and mentally exhausted, so she lay down and wanted to rest. That's when there was a knock on the door.

She was stunned. Who is so polite?

"Come in. ”

The person who came in this time turned out to be Xiao Jian, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged woman, who was probably an agent.

"Sister Wang, please go out and wait for a while. "Xiao Jian is very polite.

Sister Wang went out, and he walked in front of Xia Rui.

Xia Rui was a little panicked, and quickly sat up straight, after all, this was the first time she had met an actor-level artist face-to-face.

Xiao Jian motioned to her to be casual and not to touch the wound.

"Does your wound still hurt?" his voice was calm and comfortable to listen to.

It is said that people who are a little popular in the entertainment industry now love to play big names and are difficult to get along with, but Xiao Jian is obviously an exception, and he is too humble to people.

"It doesn't hurt, it's much better. "In fact, it still hurts, but the attitude of the people is so good, Xia Rui doesn't want people to worry.

"However, you still have to pay more attention to it......" Xiao Jian was suddenly stunned and asked, "Is there no one to take care of you......?"

Xia Rui hurriedly said: "She didn't sleep all night, so I asked her to go home and rest first......

suddenly woke up, fortunately, Qiao Rui didn't find out that Zhou Jingru left just now, otherwise he might have to say that she didn't stick to her post and didn't sign a contract with her.

"Oh, that's right. Then, I'll find Sister Wang to find another person for you to take turns to take care of you......" Xiao Jian was about to go out.

Xia Rui hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao ......" She suddenly realized that it seemed impolite to call her name.

Xiao Jian turned around and smiled, "I'm older than you, so you can call me Brother Xiao in the future." ”

"Brother Xiao, thank you for your kindness. But I'm much better now, and I don't need so many people to accompany me. Besides, if our Mr. Qiao knew about Zhou Jingru's departure, he would definitely blame her. If I really have something, I can call a nurse, right......"

Xiao Jian thought about it and said, "Is it really okay?"

Xia Rui nodded, "No problem." ”

Xiao Jian looked at her for a while and smiled, "I found that you little girl has a good heart and thinks about others......"

After a pause, he added: "That's right, if it weren't for your good heart, how could you risk so much to save me...... This grace, I Xiao Jian will never forget......"

Xia Rui looked at his serious appearance, felt very uncomfortable, and said, "Actually, it's just a gesture, Brother Xiao, don't be too relieved to ......."

Xiao Jianting looked moved, "You are really a good girl, you don't want to repay your kindness, it's really rare!"

Xia Rui was so praised by him that she almost couldn't raise her head.

Xiao Jian took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her, "You are always welcome to call me......

Xia Rui hurriedly took it with both hands.

Xiao Jian chatted with her for a while, and then went out, and when he left, he said that he would definitely help her become popular, and said that he would come to see her in a few days.

Help her get popular?

Xia Rui smiled dumbly.

She didn't want to enter the showbiz at all, okay?
