?Chapter 265: Chapter 266 Who is Your Backing? (1)_1 Chapter 265: Chapter 266 Who is Your Backing? (1)_1 As soon as he hears his phone ring, he instantly glances at the caller ID. Seeing it’s a call from home, he answers it without hesitation.
“Yes?”
Liang Chen’s voice sounds casual and natural.
“Mr. Chen, Miss Jing has been sleeping all morning. I didn’t disturb her, so she hasn’t had breakfast yet.”
Liang Chen frowns, and then hears Nanny Lin continue: “Mr. Chen, Miss Jing received a package today.”
Knowing that the package was sent immediately on his orders, he pretends to be uninformed, asking with some confusion: “What package?”
“It’s the script sent by the crew of a show Miss Jing was filming awhile back. They probably want Miss Jing to act in it…” Nanny Lin pauses briefly before finally getting out the rest: “Perhaps Miss Jing has been feeling down because she hasn’t been out lately. She might feel better after doing some acting.”
Liang Chen pauses on the other end of the call, then dismissively says: “Noted.”, before hanging up.
Watching Jing Haohao become more and more reclusive, he thought of giving her something to do. He knew her stubborn side might prevent her from telling him about the script even after receiving it due to his previous instructions of not leaving the house. Passing it off as a casual delivery and having Nanny Lin inform him about it would give him an out in this situation.
In his entire life, he has never had to put this much thought and consideration into anyone other than Jing Haohao. It’s this constant struggle that leaves him feeling guilty.
Liang Chen glances at his phone for a moment, then finds Jing Haohao’s number and calls her.
After a long wait, Jing Haohao finally answers: “Hello?”
“I heard from Nanny Lin that you just received a script from the production company?”
Seeming surprised that he knew about it so quickly, Jing Haohao paused before saying: “Yes.”
“Are you filming tomorrow?” Liang Chen asked, not waiting for her reply before continuing, “Then rest well today. I’ll have our beautician come over and give you some beauty treatments so the makeup will apply better, and you’ll look more beautiful tomorrow.”
“Huh?” Jing Haohao expresses her surprise, her voice full of disbelief.
Liang Chen laughs lightly at her mixture of shock and delight: “What do you mean ‘huh’? Did you hear everything I said?”
Jing Haohao then sheepishly says into the phone: “I heard.”
“Great, I have work to do later, so I’ll finish here. Tomorrow, I’ll have the chauffeur drop you off at the set.”
With that, Liang Chen ends the call.
Jing Haohao, however, sits in disbelief, holding her phone.
She had always believed that losing Shen Liangnian would be the most painful thing. But when she found herself alone in such a luxurious and extravagant villa, she realized that the taste of losing freedom was indeed like prison. Unlike prisoners, however, who receive education and perform jobs, she had nothing to do, feeling like a useless person.
