The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 374: Divorce Agreement 2

When she moved her foot, she discovered she was actually wearing socks???

Sheng Yi looked up at Liu Ru.

Liu Ru didn’t understand what was being asked: "What’s wrong?"

Sheng Yi scratched her head in confusion and said, "I remember... I wasn’t wearing socks when I went to bed last night. Did you put them on me?"

"Me? I don’t have time for that. You know, I left yesterday afternoon and didn’t come back until now. I even brought you some steamed wontons. Hurry up and go to the bathroom, then come back and eat them; they’re not as tasty cold." Liu Ru obviously had no idea what was going on.

Sheng Yi felt it was a bit surreal.

But she couldn’t recall if she was mistaken.

She very well might have gone to sleep with socks on last night.

But when she tried to remember, her mind was full of the scene where Dao An carried her to the bathroom, and then... she forgot whether she had socks on or not.

She uncovered the quilt, got out of bed, and slowly shuffled to the bathroom.

She moved better today than last night, and with Liu Ru supporting her, it wasn’t much of an issue.

After coming out of the bathroom, Sheng Yi was about to sit down when she noticed a bag on the bedside cabinet. She picked it up and took a look inside, and found a brand-new pair of socks.

Sheng Yi was bewildered: ???

Who on earth bought her these socks?

Could it be that her assistant came by again and, not wanting her feet to get cold, put the socks on her before leaving?

The assistant was always very attentive, and when working as Sheng Yi’s assistant, their care was meticulous. Buying socks and putting them on was not out of the question.

With that thought, the mystery seemed to make sense.

Sheng Yi took her phone, opened WeChat, and prepared to message her assistant to say the socks were warm and she loved them.

While Sheng Yi was typing, Liu Ru’s phone rang again.

Liu Ru glanced at the caller ID on the screen; it was the director from the film crew calling. Honestly, with the current situation, Liu Ru was a bit scared to answer calls from the director. Since they had signed a contract, the crew couldn’t easily terminate it, especially since the movie was in the final stages of filming.

But there was nothing Liu Ru could do immediately to solve the director’s urgent dilemma since Sheng Yi’s foot injury meant she couldn’t return to the crew right away.

"Well..." Liu Ru said helplessly, "I managed to console them for a bit last night, but with the crew filming today and you not being there, things have gone back to square one. I bet there’s already been a temper tantrum on set, and now, here comes the director’s repeated fatal calls."

Given Sheng Yi’s status, no matter how upset the director was, he wouldn’t call her directly during this time; he’d only call Liu Ru.

Sheng Yi said, "Should I take it?"

"Just eat; you don’t need to worry about this." Liu Ru went to the window to answer the phone.

Sheng Yi continued to message her assistant on WeChat.

After sending a line of text, Sheng Yi waited for a while without receiving a reply. She guessed the assistant probably didn’t have time to check their phone, with a bunch of family matters to deal with.

She put down her phone and picked up the steamed wontons, which weren’t too hot or too cold—just the right temperature.

Sheng Yi ate several, stuffing her mouth full. Liu Ru came back from her call in a great mood, beaming with joy. Seeing Sheng Yi looking like a hamster with her cheeks stuffed, she poured a glass of water for Sheng Yi and placed it in front of her, smiling as she said, "I thought after I left last night, you’d really not contact President Gu. But this time you weren’t that stubborn. It eases my mind, truly eases my mind."

Sheng Yi had a head full of question marks: ???

She naturally didn’t understand what Liu Ru meant, so she asked: "Sister Ru, you seem in a great mood. What did the director say?"

Liu Ru raised an eyebrow: "You’re being vague with me."

"Hmm?"

Sheng Yi genuinely didn’t know what Liu Ru was implying. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she said: "Did the crew successfully rearrange my scenes? But since the film is in the intense final stage of filming, my situation will definitely cause delays, and at this time, no investors would be willing to add funds for extra shooting. To put it frankly, the director would probably have to pay out of pocket, and they most likely wouldn’t have enough, so it’s no wonder they’d be upset."

Liu Ru was shrewd enough to catch the confusion in Sheng Yi’s words.

Liu Ru said, "Now there’s no need for the director to pay out of pocket. The crew has already received a significant additional investment. The call just now was indeed from the director. He said for you to rest and recover, and his tone was so pleasant it was as if he was ready to grin at you in person."

After Sheng Yi heard that: "..."

The crew received additional investment, which meant that some other investor had splurged again to fill the void for the movie.
