v12 Chapter 20: quarrel

"Ms. Akemi, how do you feel about being the heroine of an Asahi TV series for the first time!"

"That... I'm very glad to have the trust of Director Kimura this time to act as this drama adapted from Mr. Fukuda's manga of the same name. In fact, just before I took the stage, I quietly confirmed with Director Kimura."

"I asked Kimura-sensei:"

"Are you really asking me to be the heroine of this show?"

"Kimura-sensei looked at me with a bewildered expression, and then said to me a little worried."

"You haven't read the script, have you? It's really a headache... It's going to start soon..."

"Ha ha……"

Following Mingmei's slightly sarcastic answer, there was a burst of laughter from the press box below the stage. Takashima Sae quietly stood in the corner of the conference room, secretly satisfied with Akimi's performance.

Nodding intentionally.

When Mingmei cleverly answered the reporter's question. Another reporter threw the question to Ryoma Chiba, the hero of the show. I saw the reporter took the microphone handed over by the staff, and then asked rudely.

"Mr. Chiba, can you respond to the relationship between you and Nana Kobayakawa, the heroine of the last drama?"

"Well... we are very good friends and colleagues. I hope that we can continue to cooperate if there is an opportunity in the future..."

"Someone took a photo of you spending the night at Kobayakawa Nana's house. Excuse me, are you dating?"

"That... we're just normal friends..."

Hearing that someone asked about the scandal between Chiba Ryoma and the popular idol Kobayakawa Nana, the reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands and wanted to ask Chiba Ryoma.

"This is the third time you've had an affair with an actress you've worked with, and someone has photographed you staying overnight at the other party's house. Do you still want to deny it?"

"You won't be living together already!"

...

Seeing that a good press conference was about to be taken crookedly, Kimura Kanako hurriedly turned on the microphone and said to the reporters under the stage.

"Everyone, today is the media meeting of "The Reasoning Is After Dinner", please don't ask irrelevant questions..."

"It's really a headache... The TV station is afraid of bad ratings and unwilling to increase its budget, so it can only find such an artist who is riddled with negative news. I'm really afraid that he will ruin the opportunity that I finally won!"

Kanako muttered to herself in her heart. Then she looked at Mingmei who was sitting beside her. I thought that Mingmei might have the same troubles as myself!

As a result, Kanako's first media meeting as a supervisor came to an abrupt end amid the scandal of Chiba Ryoshin. After saying goodbye to Kanako, Akimi left TV Asahi by car. On the way back, Mingmei took the initiative to call Lin Xiuyi.

"Moses Moses?"

"Is it too much to fix the sauce?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Mingmei expressing her dissatisfaction on the phone, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised?

"N... Nani?"

"It's too much for Xiu-chan to not tell me when she's injured?"

Hearing Mingmei's dissatisfied tone on the phone, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly apologized to the salesperson who was introducing the car to him. He put the phone to his ear and trotted all the way to the outside until he was sure that the sound of the phone was not good. It would disturb the people around, so Lin Xiuyi carefully explained on the phone.

"Ah... I'm really sorry, this kind of thing would never have happened, but I was careless and accidentally punched, don't worry, I'm fine now. The reason why I didn't tell Akimi-chan is because Because I don't want Akemi-chan to worry about me..."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation, Mingmei was not satisfied. In fact, what really made her feel dissatisfied was not that Lin Xiuyi didn't tell her about her injury.

"Xiujiang, it's all because of that woman that you got hurt! She's been living with you for a long time, why hasn't she moved away from you?"

Mingmei questioned Lin Xiuyi unceremoniously on the phone.

"It's been a long time, but it's only been more than a week, and I have asked you before, and you agreed at the time..."

Lin Xiuyi asked Mingmei on the phone with some confusion.

"But...why is it not me who lives with Xiu Jiang? I'm obviously your real girlfriend!"

Mingmei asked Lin Xiuyi angrily on the phone.

"This... If we do this, Takashima-san will definitely kill me!"

Although what Lin Xiuyi said was true, Mingmei still couldn't accept that Lin Xiuyi got along with a beautiful and outrageous woman every day. That's why she couldn't wait to complain to Lin Xiuyi on the phone after the press conference.

"I don't care, Xiu Jiang has to choose between Ming Mei and that woman!"

"Uh... It seems that you don't have to choose at all, Akimi-chan! I and Sakurako-san are just ordinary friends."

Lin Xiuyi answered on the phone with some embarrassment.

"If that's the case, why not let that woman move out?"

Mingmei still questioned Lin Xiuyi reluctantly.

"This...how can you say such a thing? It's too much to drive out a friend who is in trouble from your own home, isn't it?"

Lin Xiuyi explained to Mingmei in embarrassment on the phone. I don't know why, the more he explained, the more angry Mingmei became, which made Lin Xiu wonder what to do for a while.

...

About ten minutes after the phone call, Yingzi, who had been waiting in the store for Lin Xiuyi's return, ran out a little worried~lightnovelpub.net~ But when she walked to a place not far behind Lin Xiuyi . But he heard Lin Xiuyi explaining something to Mingmei on the phone.

"Don't be like this, Akimi-chan, Miss Sakurako is in need of help right now, how can I not lend a helping hand?"

...

When Yingzi heard Lin Xiuyi's words, she immediately stood in place. Then there was a trace of pain in his heart.

"Mr. Lin... Sure enough, he already has a sweetheart!"

Sakurako secretly took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down. A few minutes later, when the exhausted Lin Xiuyi finally hung up the phone and planned to go back, as soon as he turned around, he saw Yingzi standing not far behind him.

"Miss Sakurako? Uh... how long have you been waiting?"

Lin Xiu asked Yingzi with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.

"Ah... I just came out, Mr. Lin, that... Rena-chan asked if you're sure you want that car?"
