Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Once her brother succeeds, Shen Dang will be hers

"Get out!"

Chu Wan bit her lip, feeling wronged, "Then I’ll come visit you another time."

As soon as she turned around, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

This old hag still dared to make her angry; if she wasn’t still of some use, Chu Wan would have turned her back on her long ago.

Chu Wan’s expression darkened as she walked downstairs. Seeing Ran Jing was still there, she pretended nothing was amiss and adjusted her coat to cover the water stains, leaving the Shen Family’s mansion without even a greeting.

Ran Jing sneered, "And she thinks she can replace Xixi? She doesn’t know her own weight!"

It wasn’t that she looked down on Chu Wan, but her way of doing things really irritated Ran Jing.

After getting into the car, Chu Wan couldn’t help but fiercely slam her hand on the steering wheel.

She wanted to confront Chu Xiuyun about what he had done, but thinking of his temper, she immediately dismissed the thought.

With Shen Dang and Qiao Xi getting a divorce, her chances were the highest, especially since she held the trump card of the Old Madam.

Let her brother do whatever he likes.

Once her brother succeeded, Shen Dang would be hers!

After finishing shooting, Qiao Xi saw Chu Xiuyun again, but with several bodyguards around, he didn’t dare to make a move.

Seeing Qiao Xi driving away, Chu Xiuyun followed by car.

"He’s following us, what should we do?"

"Should we ask President Shen?"

"Let’s ask the boss first."

"Alright then."

The bodyguards quickly discussed and came up with a plan.

When Qiao Xi stopped the car, the leading bodyguard stepped forward and asked, "Boss, Young Master Chu has been following us, should we do something?"

Without looking at Chu Xiuyun, Qiao Xi replied, "Ignore him, and if he disturbs me, just give him a beating."

"...Yes."

Truly boss lady style!

Later, the bodyguard relayed her words to Shen Dang.

With a low and lax smile, Shen Dang said, "Just make sure to protect your boss well, if even a single hair is harmed, you’ll answer to me."

A few days later, Qiao Xi suddenly noticed that Chu Xiuyun, who had been following her, had disappeared.

She asked the bodyguard, "He’s not following anymore, right?"

"Young Master Chu has returned to Hai City."

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow.

The bodyguard explained, "President Shen found something for Young Master Chu to do, so he couldn’t keep staying here bothering you."

Qiao Xi nodded and gave a faint smile, "Now that he’s gone, you don’t need to follow me anymore."

"We can’t leave," the bodyguard quickly responded, his face falling into a worried expression. "We’ve received a few months’ salary; if you send us away now, we won’t have money for our retirement or to support our children."

"...That sounds tough."

"Yes, so let us follow you every day, we promise not to disturb you!"

"Well fine then."

The bodyguard instantly smiled, "Boss, I’m Zhou Ge."

Qiao Xi nodded at him.

Back at the hotel, Qiao Xi took the initiative to call Shen Dang.

"I’ll cover the cost for the bodyguards from now on, Zhou Ge is quite good, would you transfer him to me?"

Qiao Xi found these bodyguards to be quite good and didn’t feel like she was being monitored.

Previously, she didn’t think she was big enough to need bodyguards, but after the incident with Jian Yi, she felt it was safer to have one, but it was awkward to let Shen Dang pay their salaries.

It’s better to clearly settle matters between unrelated people.

"Transfer him to you?"

Shen Dang felt a bit displeased, was this the reason she called?

"Mhm, I’m too lazy to look for other bodyguards."

"Aren’t you worried I’ll get jealous?"

"..."

Qiao Xi suddenly stuttered.

What was he talking about?

Shen Dang sighed lightly, "Since you want to keep him, then keep him."

Better someone to protect her.

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me, after all, you’re paying."

Boss Shen returned to his carefree demeanor.

"What did you do to send Chu Xiuyun back to Hai City?"

Qiao Xi felt like she was making small talk, but once the words were out, she couldn’t take them back.

Shen Dang seemed to laugh, "I just openly caused some trouble for the Chu Family."

Shen Dang didn’t go into details; otherwise, it would seem like he was seeking credit from Qiao Xi.

"Oh."

Qiao Xi didn’t ask further.

It must be one of those business matters.

"Don’t worry, if he dares to bother you again, I’ll make sure he loses more than just skin."

His tone was casual, but Qiao Xi could detect a strong sense of murderous intent in it.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips, calmly and straightforwardly, "Before he was wary of my status as Mrs. Shen to not do anything too outrageous, now I’m nothing, what can I do if he really wants to do something?"

Such matters just made her feel tired.

"I’m sorry, this matter..."

Qiao Xi cut him off, her tone neither warm nor fiery, "Shen Dang, to me, no one else matters, just make sure grandfather doesn’t find out, otherwise all our efforts will have been in vain."

It would also be quite ridiculous.

Not waiting for Shen Dang to respond, Qiao Xi exclaimed, "I’m done talking, hanging up."

Shen Dang watched the disconnected call and suddenly scoffed.

With no one else disturbing her, Qiao Xi focused on shooting every day.

Yet somehow, rumors of her and Jiang Yongge having an affair still surfaced online.

Seeing this rumor, Qiao Xi just felt the person who spread this must be seriously ill.

Jiang Yongge was also baffled; he and Qiao Xi clearly had nothing between them, how could there be rumors?

He was more anxious than anyone.

Jiang Yongge approached Qiao Xi, "Qiao Xi, we must clarify this matter!"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Of course."

She carefully examined the photos on Weibo and quickly identified a clue, "Teacher Jiang, judging by the angles these photos were shot from, they seem to have been taken on set. Someone from our crew is selling information to the paparazzi."

Jiang Yongge’s handsome, expressive brows furrowed deeply, "This is intolerable, we must have Director Mo find this person! Just post a Weibo message in cooperation with me later, I’ll go find Director Mo now."

Qiao Xi nodded again.

She could tell Jiang Yongge was in a rush, but that made sense, his wife outside the circle might misunderstand.

However, Qiao Xi didn’t know Jiang Yongge was anxious for another reason.

Even given ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to entangle with the boss lady; this really could kill him!

Decisively, Jiang Yongge posted a Weibo to clear the air, and the second thing was to let Mo Qing find the person.

Everyone in the crew had signed a confidentiality agreement not to leak any filming details, but someone had betrayed them for money.

This was not tolerated in the industry!

Bei Bei continually kept an eye on Weibo updates, "Sister Xi, Movie Emperor Jiang has posted on Weibo."

Qiao Xi also posted a message: [Can’t believe everything you hear, think about it, every time I shoot a film, a rumor starts flying. Aren’t you tired? I surely am. Wise people don’t listen to rumors. Here’s a beautiful photo to end with.]
