Xiang Xiaoyuan looked a little lost.

Because of Lin Siqing’s news, she realized that things were more complicated than she had imagined. However, this kind of thing didn’t have much to do with her. She would let Lu Wanggui know after he got off work.

Lin Siqing said softly, “Mrs. Lu, the production team is still waiting for me to film. I may not have much time to explain to you in detail. If you don’t mind, can you leave me your contact information? I will continue to get people to track down the person who spread the news. I will inform you as soon as I find out.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan certainly would not refuse.

Having another celebrity in her Wechat contacts was also very beneficial to her. They might even have the opportunity to work together in the future. Xiang Xiaoyuan had a good impression of Lin Siqing. The scandal that had happened a while ago had allowed her to understand Lin Siqing’s experience in her path to becoming famous. She was a clear-headed and very capable actress.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had seen countless people, so she was quite confident when it came to judging people. If she was wrong and Lin Siqing was just really good at acting, then she’d accept that.

But now, her impression of Lin Siqing was not bad.

Lin Siqing must have had her own selfish motives for what had happened back then. After all, the rumor of her and Lu Wanggui had helped her get out of a difficult situation and helped her career. Now that her career was on the rise, as long as she still had her brain, she’d know that being involved with a married man would be detrimental to her career.

If Xiang Xiaoyuan was Lin Siqing, she would definitely get rid of any rumors about her relationship with Lu Wanggui. No matter how powerful Lu Wanggui was or how much money he had, once an actress was branded as a mistress, her acting career would be ruined.

After the two of them became friends on Wechat, Lin Siqing once again apologized sincerely, “Mrs. Lu, I’m really sorry. No matter who was behind it and what their motives were, it was my cousin and I who did the wrong thing back then. That’s why CEO Lu was misunderstood.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled slightly but did not respond.

She was not Lu Wanggui. There was no reason for her to forgive her on behalf of Lu Wanggui.

Before Lin Siqing left, she seemed to have thought of something and went to the shelves to get some snacks. When she was checking out, she smelled the Oden and packed a few portions. She explained, “When I came out, I told the production team that I was hungry and wanted to buy something.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded to show her understanding. Only a fool would reject such an opportunity to increase sales.

After Lin Siqing left, Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that she didn’t take a photo of Lin Siqing just now! If Lin Siqing’s visit to their convenience store was used as a marketing point, it might attract new customers.

Xu Xiyao was tidying up the table. When he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan’s annoyed expression, he couldn’t help but smile.

Xiang Xiaoyuan self-reflected. Why did she pay attention to those unimportant things? No matter who the mastermind was, it had nothing to do with her. She just needed to seize the opportunity to quickly make money.

She actually missed an opportunity to promote the convenience store. It was a mistake on her part as the boss!

Men, as expected, affected her money-making plans!

It didn’t matter if Lin Siqing and Lu Wanggui had any relationship, she only cared about making money!

Xu Xiyao saw the annoyance on her face, so he quietly turned around and made her a cup of iced coffee, hoping that it would cool her mood.

When Xu Xiyao gave her the coffee, she was still sitting on the chair and sighing. Xu Xiyao shook his head helplessly, picked up the marker on the table, and drew a smiley face on the cup and handed it to her.

Xiang Xiaoyuan rested her chin on one hand. There was no use crying over spilled milk. She might as well think about the future of the convenience store. Now, with the customers around the villa area, she could guarantee that the convenience store would not lose money. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not want to stop here. She wanted to open a branch and become the owner of a chain store!

Just as she was deep in thought, a hand appeared in front of her eyes. Then, a cup of iced coffee appeared on her table.

Xiang Xiaoyuan turned her head to look at Xu Xiyao. The staff in the convenience store wore a uniform. The cheap uniform did not affect his delicate appearance.

He said in a low voice, “Try it?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded and took a sip of the iced coffee. It was bitter, and the coolness made her sober up quite a bit.

“Thank you.”

Xu Xiyao smiled. “You’re welcome.”

At seven o’clock in the evening, the sun slowly set, dyeing the land orange..
