Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 119, The Sickly Beauty Becomes the Darling of the Entertainment Circle Jiang Xun sat down across from him. As her dewy spirited eyes stayed on his face, Jian Si Yue could hear his heartbeat pounding. "Have you waited for a long time?" Jiang Xun asked. Jian Si Yue quickly shook his head, "No, I just arrived." Jiang Xun smiled lightly, "Did you drive here?" "En, what's the matter?" "I didn't bring my outfits and props. This time I plan to shoot in the historical style, so there are a lot of things. Can you come with me to get them?" Jiang Xun said. "It’s like that, then why didn't you say it earlier? Just tell me the location and I can just go get it." When Jian Si Yue smiled, it made him appear extremely gentlemanly. "I saw the requirements written on your Weibo, it said you only decided to accept the appointment after meeting face-to-face, so… …" Before Jiang Xun could finish, Jian Si Yue couldn’t help but feel awkward. He did set that requirement, after all, there were too many catfishes. He had encountered it several times before where the person’s photos were much better looking than the actual person and didn't look like the same person at all. That’s why he added such a condition. However, after seeing Jiang Xun’s photo, he fell in love at first sight. He never thought the photo might be photoshopped. Now when he returned to his senses, he also felt he was too impulsive, but Jiang Xun’s visuals didn't disappoint him at all. On the contrary, it tugged at his heartstrings more than he thought it would. Jian Si Yue didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Jiang Xun didn't put him in a dilemma. She shifted the topic by asking him some questions about photography and the atmosphere soon became harmonious. "How long will it take to produce the finished product after the shooting?" Jiang Xun asked. Jian Si Yue answered, "Depending on how many photos you take, it could take half a month at the earliest for a set." Jiang Xun didn't quite understand this aspect and asked confused, "How many photos are in a set?" "The number of photos depends on the situation, a refined set is fifteen photos, mainly because the editing period will be longer." Jian Si Yue replied seriously. Jiang Xun nodded. She thought for a moment and then asked, "How long does it take to shoot a set?" "Two hours. The photos I shoot all use film, so I have to wait until the photos are developed to view them. This will also take a few days." Jiang Xun blinked, "I see, can we start this afternoon?" Jian Si Yue glanced at the sunlight outside, "Yes, today's lighting is pretty good. Plus, I know there is a place to take pictures with the afterglows of the sunset that’ll be beautiful." Jiang Xun smiled, "Okay, let's go then." "Wait… … wait a minute." Jian Si Yue Yue suddenly spoke. "What's the matter?" Jiang Xun turned around and looked back at him, creating an unforgettable scene. "You still haven't told me, your name." "Jiang Xun, Jiang Zi Ya’s Jiang, the Xun in seeking." Jiang Xun smiled brilliantly and her faint eyebrows seemed vividly tender. With the sun shining on her side profile, her skin was covered in a haze that glowed like a pearl. Jian Si Yue was dumbfounded after seeing this. For a while, he grinned like he was waking up from a dream and then repeated those two words silently in his mouth. ... Jian Si Yue drove Jiang Xun back to the community where she lived, but Jiang Xun didn’t let him in. She had him park the car outside the community, while she went in and fetched things by herself. Fortunately, the building she lived in wasn’t far from the gate of the community. It was only five or six minutes on foot away. Yet Jiang Xun still overestimated the frailty of this body. Although her soul strength was high and her physical fitness improved after entering this body, she only carried her outfits and pipa for a few hundred meters before she started panting and her footsteps became heavy. Since she was already halfway there, there was no need to let Jian Si Yue in again. Plus, the guard probably wouldn’t let him in without her leading the way. Jiang Xun could only grit her teeth and continue walking forward. After walking for a while, she suddenly caught a dazzling light from the corner of her eyes. That was the light of the superb-quality son of Heaven which she was extremely familiar with. She paused. Just when she wanted to take a closer look, the light disappeared. Jiang Xun put down the things in her hand out of confusion and rubbed her eyes. Yet she didn't see it again. It couldn't be her hallucination, her sensitivity to the superb sons of Heaven is quite accurate. Furrowing her brows, she picked up her things and walked a few steps in that direction, only to see a champagne-colored Porsche driving out and then zoomed out of Jiang Xun's sight. Jiang Xun's instinct told her that that superb son of the Heaven was in the car, but with the car driving that fast, it’s not like she couldn't catch up. Jiang Xun sighed ruefully. However, thinking again, she lived in the same community with him anyway, they’ll still have a chance to meet each other. It’s just that people living in this kind of place probably have more than one house. She wasn’t clear whether they lived here or only lived here occasionally. Jian Si Yue was still waiting for her outside the community and that superb son of Heaven was already gone, so it didn't make sense to keep thinking about it. She’ll come back and think about it again after the shooting. The afternoon shooting didn’t end until seven o’clock in the evening. Excluding a few sets of ancient costumes and then another two modern style photos, Jian Si Yue Yue took Jiang Xun to take pictures of the night scene by the lake after the natural light was gone. If it weren’t for Jiang Xun saying she was tired, Jian Si Yue was afraid the more photos he took, the more excited he would get. Because under the camera, Jiang Xun seems to surprise him at any time and could change her emotions in the blink of an eye, which is simply amazing. Most photographers, who love photography, often can get so excited because of a good shooting that they forget the time or their fatigue. This also held true for Jian Si Yue. He was completely fascinated by Jiang Xun. No matter what appearance or expression she had, it was all so beautiful that he couldn’t find any flaws. Just now, he couldn't even find any angle that Jiang Xun didn’t look good in. This simply upended his previous views. After the shooting, Jiang Xun was so tired that she didn’t want to move anymore. While filming the third set, she felt her legs jellify and she hardly could make any expressions. She forced herself to hang on until this point. By now, she just wanted to lie down and have someone give her a massage. Sitting down on the wooden bench, Jiang Xun’s legs trembled. Her brows were furrowed and her tired face was pale as she felt uncomfortable as if she would cry at any time. Jian Si Yue panicked when he saw this, "What happened to you?" Jiang Xun pitifully looked up at him, "I'm so tired, my leg aches and my whole body feels weak." Jian Si Yue exclaimed with remorse, "It’s all my fault for being too engrossed in the shooting and not letting you rest enough." Jiang Xun shook her head without saying anything. Jian Si Yue's heart felt distressed. He couldn’t be more regretful, as if he had done something unforgivable. In the end, he sat there with Jiang Xun for more than an hour. When Jiang Xun had enough rest, he led her to a particularly expensive Japanese restaurant for dinner. Finally, when they were about to pay the bill, before he could speak, Jiang Xun took out a card from her bag and handed it to the waiter, "Swipe my card." Jian Si Yue was taken aback and quickly stopped her, "We already agreed it would be my treat, I’ll pay." The waiter glanced back and forth between the two of them, standing there holding the card. Jiang Xun said, "No need, let me pay. Today I asked you to do a shooting for me, consider it my thanks. Later, I’ll transfer the money for the shooting to you on WeChat." Jiang Xun said with a smile. Jian Si Yue suddenly felt a sense of discouragement and powerlessness. He didn’t like Jiang Xun’s polite appearance of doing business, but he didn’t know what else to say. Therefore, he stood up with a long face and snatched the card in the waiter’s hand to place it on the table before then taking his card from his wallet to hand it to the waiter. Jiang Xun didn't continue insisting. However, after she went back, she used WeChat to transfer the money for the shooting and the meal to Jian Si Yue. On the way home, Jian Si Yue heard the message prompt and guessed it might be a message from Jiang Xun. He drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. When he took out his phone and looked, his face became stiff. On the screen was a transfer message, a generous one at that, directly transferring fifty thousand yuan to him. The fee for his shooting wasn’t high and they only shot for half a day. Thus, the fee was only a few thousand yuan, while the meal was at most a thousand-ish yuan. Yet, she gave fifty thousand yuan. Although fifty thousand is not that big amount of money, it was far more than he deserved. Moreover, he thought dinner was his treat. Jian Si Yue pictured Jiang Xun noticing his budding affection for her, so she uses this method to make him retreat. He replied to Jiang Xun with a dejected expression: [?] After a while, he finally received a reply from Jiang Xun: [Is it not enough? I'll pay you the other half when I receive the photos.] Jian Si Yue's eyebrows moved. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Did he meet a rich young lady? Jian Si Yue’s family is also considered wealthy. He didn’t inherit the family’s company but instead partnered with a friend to start a company. However, he was considered a hands-free shopkeeper. He would usually travel around and take pictures. Because he is a Yan dog, he goes around accepting appointments. He never lacks money and is also very generous to his girlfriends, but he has never met a type like Jiang Xun before. She seemed young, at most twenty, delicate and weak, yet still mysterious, spending several tens of thousands with just a wave of her hand. Jian Si Yue thought about it for a long time before soon making the decision that he wanted to pursue Jiang Xun. He accepted Jiang Xun's transfer, and then said: [It’s enough, no need to pay the other half.] Jiang Xun was just about to want to reply "Oh", but saw Jian Si Yue sending a money transfer. He transferred fifty two thousand yuan to her. [Do you have a boyfriend?] Jiang Xun laughed, dumbfounded. Her raised legs lightly tapped as she replied: [No.] Jian Si Yue nervously took a deep breath: [Can I chase you?] After a long time, Jiang Xun still didn't reply so he thought she wouldn’t reply and was a little disappointed. As he was about to start the car, his phone suddenly dinged. Jiang Xun: [How old are you?] Jian Si Yue paused before truthfully answering: [Twenty-eight] Jiang Xun replied: [Uncle, you’re ten years older than me.] When Jian Si Yue saw this message, his eyes almost popped out. Ten years... … Although he thought Jiang Xun was on the younger side, girls‘ age generally aren’t what they seemed. Therefore, he guessed that she should be at least twenty years old. He didn’t expect her to be only eighteen years old. Jian Si Yue suddenly felt a sense of shame. Jiang Xun was still so young and he actually asked her if she had a boyfriend and even said he wanted to pursue her. Jiang Xun waited for a long time, but still didn't receive a reply. She couldn't help rolling on the sofa, her face flushed with a smile. Really, older men can’t handle teasing. Jiang Xun touched her face and thought: She did indeed attract bees and butterflies, but that’s what made it fun. Since Jian Si Yue didn’t reply to her message, Jiang Xun quickly put his confession aside and began to think about what she should do next. She needed to hurry up, she didn’t expect Jian Si Yue’s film to develop that slowly. She had to think of other ways to pair it with. Otherwise, she had to spend more time if she wanted to naturally become popular on the Internet. She, as a person, was anxious and didn't want to take it slow, but also didn’t want to take advantage of Xue Zhou's popularity. Or else, when she saw the photos of Xue Zhou and her on the web yesterday, she could have directly bought hot searches online to promote herself, but that would be too obvious. Jiang Xun sorted out the original owner’s memories, trying to find out if there was any breakthrough. While it allowed her to think of a few feasible methods, but after a day of tiredness today, she was both exhausted and sleepy. Her upper and lower eyelids were about to fight each other, so she took a shower and went to bed early. The next day, she slept again. Around ten o'clockish, her phone alarm rang for a long time before she finally opened her eyes in a daze. She searched under the pillow for the phone and squinted at it. It was an unknown number. Jiang Xun answered with her brows furrowed, but heard a gentle and pleasant woman's voice. "Hello, is it Miss Jiang?" Jiang Xun immediately sat up, "En, it is yes." Although she appeared sleepy, her voice was sober. "Hello, I am Huo Group’s employee. Tomorrow night is the banquet for the tenth anniversary of the Huo Group. Since you are the new major shareholder of the subsidiary, the president specially asked me to invite you to this banquet." Jiang Xun said thoughtfully, "Oh, it’s like this." "Is it convenient for you to disclose your current address? I will send you the invitation letter from this side." Jiang Xun thought for a while and decided to tell her the address, which the other party repeated after hearing it. Her tone seemed a little surprised, but it wasn’t obvious at all. Jiang Xun thought maybe she might have heard her wrong. "Okay, I won’t disturb you any longer, goodbye." Once Jiang Xun set down the phone, she thought to herself she had just inherited the inheritance, yet the Huo Group already learned of it and even obtained her contact information. They were quite fast, worthy of being the largest family-run business in the country. With this disturbance, she had pretty much woken up. Checking the time on the phone again, it wasn’t early and there were a few unread WeChat messages. Jiang Xun clicked them opened, they were all sent by Jian Si Yue. After she saw the content, she burst out laughing. This person is simply too amusing. The author has something to say: Jiang Xun: Uncle, wanna meet up? Jian Si Yue: Can... … Can we? The Superb Son of Heaven: Wait until I come out to meet up~ Xue Zhou: I only showed my face before you won't let me out again. Am I the male lead or not? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Jiang Zi Ya (姜子牙): a well-known minister in Ancient China.
