Chapter 33 – “Don’t run around alone.”

Su Jinbei wrapped herself tightly in her blanket and peacefully went back to sleep. It was the ringtone of her phone that later woke her up.

“Hello…”

“What’s going on, why are you still asleep at ten o’clock.”

“Xia Lu?” Su Jinbei opened her eyes, “How do you have the time to call me?”

The person on the other end laughed, “I just finished filming. How are you? Is your body better now?”

“It’s been fine for a while. Don’t worry.”

“Oh, you, you didn’t tell me that you were in a car accident before. When I came back from the mountains, you were already discharged.” Xia Lu said, dissatisfied, “In all seriousness, you’re not allowed to hide things from me next time.”

“I was being considerate since you’re so busy. Besides, it wasn’t that big of a deal. I didn’t want to tire you out making you fly back and forth.”

“I don’t care, you can’t do this in the future. Telling Ah Ying but not telling me, you are so biased.”

Su Jinbei yawned and sat up from the bed, “That’s different, Ah Ying was in the city at that time.”

“Hmph, you don’t need to explain.” Xia Lu said, “Where are you now?”

“In Beijing.”

“What!” Xia Lu was surprised, “You’re in Beijing? I am also in Beijing.”

Su Jinbei smiled, “Yo, what a coincidence, babe, come, let’s meet up.”

“OK, where are you, I’ll come to you.”

“I’m…” Su Jinbei paused, remembering that she was in the Zhou Residence that was not appropriate for seeing friends, so she said, “Let me come to you instead.”

“Okay, I haven’t eaten yet, come and let’s eat together, um… Western food?”

“Hotpot, hotpot is a must for cold weather like this.” Su Jinbei got up and went to the wardrobe to get clothes. “Let’s go to the place we ate the last time we were in Beijing.”

Su Jinbei changed her clothes, packed up and went out.

“Miss Su, where are you going, I will ask the driver to take you there.”

“Okay, sorry to trouble you.”

The butler had a car over and also assigned two bodyguards to Su Jinbei.

Su Jinbei got in the car and also told the butler, “My friend has some troubles. Could you please tell my grandma that I won’t come back for lunch?”

“Ok.”

The car drove away from the Zhou Residence, and the driver drove to the place that Su Jinbei told him. Su Jinbei sat in the car and put on a mask, waiting for Xia Lu’s employee to come over.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The window was knocked.

Su Jinbei rolled down the window, “Xiao Zi.”

Xia Lu’s assistant Xiao Zi was outside the car.

“Jinbei jie, Xia Lu jie booked a private room, I’ll lead you in from the staff passage.”

“OK.” Su Jinbei said and turned around, relaying to the two bodyguards, “You guys wait here for me.”

“Miss Su, let us follow you.”

“No, I’m meeting my friend, it won’t be good if you follow, I will call if something happens.”

“Yes.”

Su Jinbei put on her sunglasses and followed Xiao Zi.

“Xia Lu, darling.” Su Jinbei gave Xia Lu a big hug as soon as she entered the room. The two had not seen each other for a long time because they were busy.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, come, come, I ordered your favorite foods.” Xia Lu pulled the chair and affectionately sat her down.

Su Jinbei looked at the dishes, “Sigh, I’m going to gain weight again. I ate too well at the hospital last time and gained a few pounds.”

Xia Lu rolled her eyes, “Don’t say this, if you’re fat, then what are people like us.”

Su Jinbei glanced at her, “What do you mean people like you. Look at yourself. You lost so much weight filming one movie.”

Xia Lu shrugged, “This… I can’t help it. It was tough there and I stayed there for so long.”

“So you have to make up for it by eating more.” Su Jinbei threw most of the meat into the pot, Since He Di’s not here, let’s feast.”

The two of them sat at the large table full of dishes and happily chatted as they ate.

After eating, Su Jinbei’s shopping addiction reared its ugly head. It is quite true that “when women get together, they either eat or shop”. Speaking of, Su Jinbei hadn’t gone shopping for a long time.

Because the place where the two ate was near a shopping mall with a few well-known brands, at the time they felt they should go there to shop.

Although Xia Lu was an actor, she wasn’t that popular. People on the road would only think she looked familiar if they ran into her. Su Jinbei was different. “Delicious Sunday” was viral these days and coupled with her numerous scandals with various male celebrities, it was impossible for people on the road to not recognise her.

Fortunately, she wore a lowkey outfit today, and she had no makeup on. It was even harder to recognize her since she wore a mask as well. Moreover, because the mall was relatively pricey, there weren’t usually many people shopping there.

Arriving at the shopping mall, Su Jinbei and Xia Lu walked into a bag shop, Xiao Zi accompanied them, and the two bodyguards of the Zhou family were waiting outside the shop.

“Jinbei, is He Di not here, did you hire those two?”

Su Jinbei was happily trying on a shoulder bag, “Ah, He Di, I told her to take a break since it’s the end of the year. As for the two outside… It’s always safer to go out with bodyguards.”

Su Jinbei knew she shouldn’t say too much about the Zhou family to other people. Not that she didn’t trust Xia Lu, but there was really no need to mention that place with cumbersome rules and traditions.

“Buzz.” Just then, Su Jinbei’s cell phone rang.

“Hello.”

“Where are you.” At the end of the phone was Zhou Shiyun’s voice.

Su Jinbei smiled, “What’s wrong, did you miss me?”

“… Don’t run around alone.”

“I’m not alone, I brought people, I am shopping with my friends.”

Zhou Shiyun, “Shopping, you?”

Su Jinbei raised her eyebrows, “Yeah, me.”

Zhou Shiyun paused for a while, and finally hummed, saying, “Stay safe.”

He hung up immediately after. Su Jinbei looked at the dark screen, just like that? She snorted and threw the phone into her bag.
