Chapter 1408: Why Did You Work for a Newcomer
They then looked at the two cameramen who had followed Shi Hanchu and Su Manman earlier. Seeing that the two cameramen were still pale and unable to recover from the shock, they felt that getting any answers from Shi Hanchu was probably impossible!
They wanted to ask Su Manman, but she still looked pale, and there were still tears in her eyes. Who could bear to do that?
Yang Weiyi, who had just finished touching up Su Manman’s makeup, secretly went to look for Shi Hanchu, saying that he had something to say to Shi Hanchu.
Shi Hanchu gave Yang Weiyi face and agreed before walking with her to a place where there were fewer people. After all, Yang Weiyi used to be Jiang Mingzhu’s personal makeup artist, and the two of them were on very good terms.
Before Yang Weiyi could speak, Shi Hanchu asked, “Back then, you weren’t willing to be my makeup artist. Why are you working for a newcomer now?”
“I needed money because my mother was hospitalized. Su Manman offered me a very high salary; three times my original salary, so I decided to work for her!” Yang Weiyi lowered her head and fiddled with the tassels on her sweater, appearing a little embarrassed. “You can say I followed her for money!”
Shi Hanchu nodded.
Not wanting to let Shi Hanchu think too much about her mother’s hospitalization, Yang Weiyi hurriedly got to the main point. “Brother Hanchu, I’m here to tell you that Su Manman seems to know a lot about Sister Mingzhu. From what I see, she acts very similarly to Sister Mingzhu. I think she’s imitating her to get close to you. Brother Hanchu, please be careful!”
“I know!” Shi Hanchu nodded and said, “You’d better come to my side. I won’t offer you a low salary…”
It was even more than Su Manman.
Yang Weiyi smiled and shook her head. “I don’t have much of a relationship with Su Manman. She’s a fool and is willing to hire me for such a high price, so I don’t have a problem charging her three times more than the usual rate. I can’t cheat someone I know, especially you, Brother Hanchu. You’re Sister Mingzhu’s best friend!”
Shi Hanchu’s deep and dark eyes were unfathomable. “She took care of you when she was alive. Now that she’s gone, I’ll take care of you…”
Tears welled up in Yang Weiyi’s eyes, and she shook her head. “I have a feeling that Su Manman has ulterior motives in imitating Sister Mingzhu. So, I’d better stay by her side to monitor her movements and grasp what she’s up to!”
Shi Hanchu wanted to persuade her again, but Yang Weiyi said firmly to Shi Hanchu, “In this life, the people I care the most are my mother and Sister Mingzhu. Although Sister Mingzhu is no longer around, I’ll do my best to protect her name.”
Shi Hanchu couldn’t say anything else. He calmly nodded and told Yang Weiyi to look for him if she faced any difficulties.
“You have my number!”
Yang Weiyi clenched the corner of her shirt and nodded.
After the conversation ended, Yang Weiyi returned to Su Manman uneasily, unable to hide the wariness in her eyes.
“Ah… ah… ah… ah… ah… Choto mate, sumimasen… ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah… Sumimasen!”
“Ahhh… Don’t come over! Don’t come over! Help!”
A hysterical scream came from inside the Haunted House, and for some reason, it sent chills down one’s spine. It made them feel cold that some of them silently zipped up their jackets.
It only took Shi Hanchu and Su Manman 15 minutes to come out. However, Ji Jiarou and her companion had been inside for 40 minutes and had yet to come out. The people outside could only hear a series of uncontrollable screams.
Su Manman pursed her lips and restrained her smile as she looked towards Shi Hanchu. Shi Hanchu seemed to sense something and looked towards Su Manman as well. She gently blinked at Shi Hanchu, like a child who had succeeded in her prank.
Shi Hanchu pursed his thin lips as Yang Weiyi’s words filled his mind.
“It’s too cold! Let me treat everyone to a hot drink!”
Li Mao, the male singer who also took part in the show, couldn’t bear to listen to the series of hysterical shouts anymore. He said he was going away for a bit to buy a beverage with his assistant.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Mao, who had gone to buy drinks, returned. However, Ji Jiarou and her partner were still inside. He was just about to ask why they hadn’t come out yet when he heard Ji Jiarou’s crazy “sumimasen” and “choto mate“.
Li Mao, who was overwhelmed by fear, forced a smile as he distributed the drinks to everyone. He very thoughtfully bought drinks for all the staff…
In this kind of environment, where one’s back could still be cold even when they wore down jackets, hot beverages could bring a little warmth.
Li Mao had casually bought the drinks, and Su Manman got a cup of whisky cake milk tea.
What a coincidence! It was actually Shi Hanchu’s favorite whiskey cake milk tea.
Su Manman looked in Shi Hanchu’s direction and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the label on Shi Hanchu’s cup…
It was red date chestnut tea!
Su Manman’s heart tightened. Shi Hanchu was allergic to nuts.
Shi Hanchu didn’t notice. He picked up his cup and was about to drink…
“God Shi!” Su Manman called out to Shi Hanchu nervously. Seeing Shi Hanchu turn around, she hurriedly smiled and handed the milk tea to Shi Hanchu. “Can I exchange it with you? Red dates chestnut tea looks delicious!”
Upon hearing Su Manman’s words, Little Song hurriedly walked over to look at the hot beverage cup in Shi Hanchu’s hand. The characters were written in Japanese, so he didn’t recognize it. “This is red date chestnut tea? Manman, do you know Japanese?”
Su Manman nodded…
“Oh my god!” Little Song hurriedly passed the hot beverage in Shi Hanchu’s hands to Su Manman. He was about to tell Su Manman that Shi Hanchu was allergic to nuts when he swallowed the words. Shi Hanchu wouldn’t allow anyone to talk about this.
“Of course you can have it, Manman! Just nice… God Shi doesn’t like red dates!” Little Song found an excuse.
Su Manman took the red date tea and thanked Shi Hanchu with a smile. “Thanks, God Shi!”
Shi Hanchu took the milk tea that Su Manman had just given him and looked at Su Manman suspiciously…
Just now, his lips were about to touch the cup. Even if Su Manman really wanted to drink it, she had asked for it at such perfect timing.
Shi Hanchu had a feeling that Su Manman knew about his allergy to nuts.
However, this idea was a little ridiculous. There were only a handful of people who knew about Shi Hanchu’s allergy. Could it be that Little Song told Su Manman?
Shi Hanchu shifted his gaze to Little Song.
After working with Shi Hanchu for so many years, although Little Song was sometimes muddle-headed, he knew very well what Shi Hanchu was trying to ask. He hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he hadn’t told Su Manman about Shi Hanchu’s allergic reaction.
Shi Hanchu stroked the paper milk teacup in his hand…
“Brother Hanchu, I’m here to tell you that Su Manman seems to know a lot about Sister Mingzhu. From what I see, she acts very similarly to Sister Mingzhu. I think she’s imitating her to get close to you. Brother Hanchu, please be careful!”
Yang Weiyi’s voice kept ringing in Shi Hanchu’s mind. He closed his eyes and placed the milk tea aside. In the end, Shi Hanchu didn’t even touch the cup of milk tea until it had cooled down.
