Does it matter? Who couldn’t say that?
The next morning.
Su Wan woke up and hesitated for the entire morning. In the end, she still sent Xia Jing a message.
[Xiaxia, are you free these days?]
Before she put down her phone, Xia Jing sent a message.
[I’m currently filming a drama and I don’t have much free time. I’m wondering if I should take on another drama, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to act well. I want you to help me choose!]
Su Wan blinked.
She replied very quickly.
[Don’t take on another drama.]
If an actress acted in two shows at the same time, she would be easily scolded by others for only knowing how to earn money and being disloyal to the characters in the show. Su Wan didn’t want others to criticize her best friend, even if it meant nothing to her.
Speaking of which, the last time she met Xia Jing was three months ago. Xia Jing was her university classmate and had been passionate about acting for many years. Coincidentally, she had gained some popularity and was highly regarded by a director. After being groomed, she had overcome all obstacles and was now a big star!
Her reputation in the entertainment industry was extremely good.
She had a delicate head and a pair of feathery eyebrows. She had a sweet smile and beautiful eyes. Her stunning appearance and her likable personality made her extremely popular.
The two of them had a good relationship in university and had been good friends for many years.
But she didn’t tell Xia Jing about her special relationship with Jing Chen.
Otherwise, with Xia Jing’s temper, she would definitely not agree to their marriage!
“I’ll listen to you. When is your husband not home? I’ll go hang out with you.”
Su Wan was stunned for a moment before she replied with a bitter smile.
[Anytime. I have something to tell you.]
[Woah, did the sun rise from the west? Why hasn’t he been at home recently? What kind of big business is he busy discussing? Will I have a share?]
Xia Jing’s teasing tone made Su Wan smile faintly. She only replied with an emoji and the words ‘I’ll wait for you.’
However, what surprised Su Wan was that Xia Jing came as soon as she said she would. She arrived less than half an hour later.
When Xia Jing saw her, she gave her a big hug!
“How have you been recently? There’s a very nice resort near where I’m filming. Do you want to invite Jing Chen to go together?”
Su Wan shook her head and went straight to the point. “Xiaxia, I’m going to divorce Jing Chen.”
Xia Jing paused, her probing gaze landing on Su Wan. She smiled and interrupted, “Wanwan, don’t joke around like this. You’ve liked Jing Chen for so many years and you finally married him. You’re already a winner in life. Jing Chen still treats you so well. You getting a divorce is more baseless than me getting banned.”
“Xiaxia, I’m serious, but you can’t tell anyone about this. I’m here because I want you to help me look at my work and accommodation and make arrangements in advance so that I won’t end up like a headless fly. I need to think about my future.”

Su Wan smiled faintly, her expression was calm, as if this matter was nothing to her.
However, Xia Jing’s expression changed.
She was silent for a long while, unable to say anything. She stared at Su Wan in disbelief. Even if Su Wan’s expression crumbled slightly, she could still laugh and say, ‘What kind of joke is this?’
However, Su Wan was very calm, and there was no ripple in her eyes.
“Su Wan, what’s going on?!”
She was so anxious that she called out her full name.
Su Wan patted Xia Jing comfortingly and said calmly, “He doesn’t like me. Marrying him is the best way to deal with the elders. The reason why I didn’t tell you is that I am afraid that the matter will be exposed and the Jing Family will be affected. But I have gained so much from the Jing Family and it is only right that I do something to make the elders happy.”
“What do you mean? Wanwan, what are you talking about? You were adopted by the Jing Family and you were very well-loved even when you didn’t marry him. What can you get if you get divorced now? Didn’t Grandpa Jing like you a lot? Why are you so stupid?”
“He treats you so well that even the people in the entertainment industry know about it! Even the entertainment accounts talk about it, and now you’re telling me that it’s fake. How am I supposed to believe that? Why did you guys suddenly get a divorce?”
Xia Jing had always been smart. Su Wan knew that she had to tell her everything if she was going to tell her the truth. Otherwise, it was highly possible that Xia Jing would look for Jing Chen directly!
Since she told Xia Jing, she naturally had the ability to comfort Xia Jing as well.
She sighed and smiled. “Go ahead and scold me, Xiaxia. I can’t help that I like him.”
