Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Qiao Nan Appears on Set

And that night passed without incident.

...

The next day.

Qiao Xi had not yet woken up when she first heard Beibei’s talking and her knocking at the door outside.

"Sister Xi, aren’t you up yet?"

"It’s about time."

Shen Dang flung the covers off.

The moment Qiao Xi opened her eyes and saw his movement, she immediately said, "What are you doing?"

Shen Dang’s handsome face held a hint of confusion and impatience, "I’m opening the door for your assistant."

Qiao Xi glared at him, "You’re going to open the door like that?"

Shen Dang’s gaze fell downwards, taking in his current state.

"I’ll go, you stay put, and don’t come out from under the covers."

Qiao Xi opened the door for Beibei, who was leaning on the doorframe, "I’m up, just give me a few minutes."

"Sister Xi, I have something to tell you—"

She unconsciously started to step inside but was blocked by Qiao Xi.

Beibei paused, as if she’d realized something, and whispered quietly, "Is Brother-in-law here?"

Qiao Xi nodded.

Beibei showed a shocked yet delighted expression, she looked at Qiao Xi’s face, and giggled, "Then I won’t come in. I just wanted to tell you—I just saw Qiao Nan."

"Qiao Nan?" Qiao Xi frowned slightly, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

Beibei was certain in her reply, "No mistake, no mistake, definitely not mistaken, it was really her."

Beibei clicked her tongue, "It’s weird that she suddenly appeared here, right? Did she get some role?"

Beibei was actually afraid Qiao Nan was up to some mischief.

She looked like someone who couldn’t sit still.

Maybe she was still holding a grudge over the previous incident.

And bore deep hatred towards Sister Xi.

"It’s likely."

The biggest investor in this play was GK.

Apart from her previous exposure on the internet in "Dream Chasing Camp," Qiao Nan had been blacklisted after terminating her contract with Le Entertainment.

It wasn’t impossible for someone else to stuff her into the cast.

Besides, the play was already half-filmed; the character she played probably wouldn’t affect the play much, so it was easy for her to blend in.

Whatever the reason, her appearance here was somewhat disturbing.

And she was still in cahoots with Chu Xiuyun.

Beibei was somewhat worried, "What should we do?"

"Don’t bother with her."

Qiao Xi gave a cool smile, "I’ll freshen up first, then head over to the set with you to check things out."

"Okay!"

Qiao Xi closed the door and walked back.

Shen Dang, in the room, had heard every single word of their conversation without missing a beat.

The coldness in Shen Dang’s narrowed eyes sharpened, his smoking appeared nonchalant, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"No need."

The play wasn’t solely invested in by GK.

Qiao Nan was just a minor character; there was no need to make a big fuss over her.

Qiao Xi left after she was done freshening up.

Shen Dang couldn’t sleep alone.

He sat up against the headboard, took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the bedside cabinet, and lit one up.

He had already dialed the phone.

"Hello, Boss Shen."

On the other end was Zhou Ge.

Boss Shen’s eyes held a chilling sharpness; his indifference was palpable as he smoked, "Go and check if Chu Xiuyun is here, and keep an eye on the people around Xixi."

Qiao Nan suddenly showing up on the set, there was no guarantee that Chu Xiuyun hadn’t followed.

As luck would have it, Zhou Ge had already seen the person in question.

"No need to check, I’ve seen Chu Xiuyun."

"Where is he now?"

Zhou Ge was Qiao Xi’s bodyguard, but he kept his identity secret, blending in with some of the crew members on normal days.

He just happened to notice Chu Xiuyun’s whereabouts.

"It was still dark, he arrived at the hotel with Qiao Nan, and if you ask the front desk, they should know where he’s staying."

There was only one hotel in town.

Chu Xiuyun came from a wealthy family, so naturally, his accommodation wouldn’t be modest; it was very likely he was staying at the hotel.

Shen Dang gave a mocking smile, "Understood."

On the other side.

Qiao Xi arrived at the set with Beibei.

She didn’t seek out Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan took the initiative to approach her.

"Sister."

Qiao Nan smiled sweetly, "Knowing you are in this crew, I was so happy at the thought of seeing you."

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? I remember you said seeing me was bad luck just last week."

Qiao Nan’s face stiffened for a moment but quickly returned to normal, "How could that be, sister, you must have remembered wrong."

Qiao Xi let out a cold laugh, bluntly stating, "Miss Qiao, I do not have a sister like you, so there’s no need to keep calling me sister."

Qiao Nan clenched her hand, nails digging into her palm, the slight pain preventing her from giving herself away.

"Since you don’t want to acknowledge me as your sister, then forget it. Although I didn’t debut as a girl group member, I will definitely cherish this hard-won role," Qiao Nan said in a pitiful tone.

Qiao Xi laughed at her act, "It’s not that I don’t want to acknowledge you as my sister; it’s that I don’t have the habit of randomly acknowledging sisters."

Qiao Xi, unable to hold back her sarcastic tone while looking at Qiao Nan’s pretense, "Didn’t you forget that I have severed ties with the Qiao Family? My mother only gave birth to one daughter, so where would I get a sister from? You shouldn’t recklessly claim relations."

Qiao Nan gritted her teeth, "Yes! I forgot that sister has already severed father-daughter relations with dad."

Such a cold-hearted and ruthless woman, why hadn’t her fans discovered her true face?

"How can you forget such things at your age?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, seemingly in regret, almost outright saying Qiao Nan was a fool.

Qiao Nan immediately caught the loophole in her words and retorted, "Because I’ve always thought of you as family."

"Sorry." Qiao Xi gave a faint mocking smile, "I can’t pretend to be family with you."

Qiao Nan opened her mouth, wanting to say more, but Qiao Xi had already walked past her and left with an unexpectedly cold demeanor.

The people around pretended not to notice.

Qiao Xi found the director.

"Director Qian."

"Ah, Xixi, you’ve arrived. Take a look at this—"

Qiao Xi interrupted him with a flat tone, "Director Qian, let me ask you something first."

"Ah? Um, go ahead."

Qiao Xi’s voice was quite cold, "What role is Qiao Nan playing?"

"That’s what I wanted to discuss with you."

Director Qian handed her the script, "Qiao Nan was pushed on us by another investor; you know I couldn’t refuse. She isn’t playing any critical role, nothing that would disrupt the balance. I’m aware of the grudge between you and her, but for my sake, I hope you can tolerate it. It’s just a few scenes."

The situation was not far off from what Qiao Xi had expected.

It was just unclear whether Qiao Nan had approached the investor herself, or if Chu Xiuyun had a hand in it.

The director had already taken her on, and Qiao Xi didn’t have the right to cause a conflict with him over Qiao Nan.

However, that didn’t mean she would let Qiao Nan off easily.

Qiao Xi gave a cool, indifferent smile, "I understand, director."

Director Qian appeared relieved, "Good as long as you understand. You’ll be acting with her in a bit."
