The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife
Chapter 131: Who is she coming for?

Chapter 131: 131: Who is she coming for?

"How could that be? With someone as beautiful as Miss Xu, what man would have the heart to make things difficult for you?" Ha! Just because you are pretty, you think that stops me from being angry?

This feeling is like when you clearly don’t want to eat anymore, but someone forcibly stuffs a piece of fatty meat into your mouth, making you feel stifled.

If he doesn’t vent this frustration, he won’t feel comfortable inside.

Xu Ruoxuan smiled, with a somewhat ambiguous tone and said, "Whether they have the heart or not, I don’t know. But I am like a pair of ’big feet’, no matter how small the shoes are, once they’re on my feet, they can only become big shoes."

"Indeed, who could compare to a lady like Miss Xu, clinging onto such a big and sturdy support? Even if others want to make things difficult for you, they have to think twice. Otherwise, they might find themselves unable to stay in this circle, without even knowing why..." Mu Nan had already determined that she was a beautiful yet cunning woman.

She looks like a fairy, but she’s actually a snake spirit in disguise, with deadly poison, the kind that can cost lives if you’re not careful.

The smile on Xu Ruoxuan’s face became even more elegant. She did not answer Mu Nan’s words, but instead turned her gaze toward Jiang Nuo, who stood silently beside her.

"Brother Jiang, I’m really sorry. Talking with the director, I almost forgot about you. You are a world-renowned international superstar, and I’m your fan too. I wonder when it would be convenient to take a photo with you?"

If this woman’s gaze carried even a little warmth, perhaps Jiang Nuo would have believed her words.

Unfortunately, although she hid it well, the expression she wore the moment she saw him was like seeing an ant, carrying an unexplainable disdain and arrogance that couldn’t be mistaken.

Moreover, Jiang Nuo is a film emperor, so interpreting others’ micro-expressions is not difficult at all.

He just couldn’t understand, if she didn’t like him, why did she pretend to be his fan? Could it be that he had something she wanted?

"My wife isn’t here right now. How about we wait until she arrives this afternoon, and my wife and I can take a photo with you together." Although his wife isn’t the type to get jealous, it’s better to be safe than sorry, right?

"Just as they say, Brother Jiang really loves your wife." Xu Ruoxuan smiled, but whether she was pleased or displeased was indiscernible.

The day’s filming soon began. Because of Wei Manman’s story, they had stopped for a while, and considering the role of Bai Suzhen was significant, changing the actress mid-film would negatively affect the movie’s impact to some extent.

Therefore, Mu Nan considered whether the scenes involving Bai Suzhen needed to be reshot.

Ultimately, it depended on Xu Ruoxuan’s acting skills. If she was only a pretty face, then he wouldn’t spare her — he would drastically cut Bai Suzhen’s scenes. After all, the lead of this movie was Fa Hai, not the female lead and Xu Xian.

Meanwhile, where was the always inseparable Mu Qiuniang from Jiang Nuo?

It turned out she had promised to see Zhan Jingshu, and Zhan Jingwen had already informed his parents, Zhan Zhengxiao and Fu Chunxue, who were abroad. They booked immediate flights back upon receiving the news.

When they received the call, they had just been rejected by a temperamental master who refused to come down from the mountain, no matter what was said.

They were desperate, calling every connection they had, trying to find someone who could persuade the master - making lofty promises just to ’save’ their youngest son.

However, they knew it was a faint hope. Before they even came, they had used numerous connections, trying every possible means to learn about the master and even brought lavish gifts.

But unfortunately, they weren’t even granted a meeting; multiple attempts to visit ended in being shown the door.

If they were not asking for others’ help, someone like Zhan Zhengxiao, who was in a high position, would have left long ago. But for his youngest son, he could only endure, calming his anxious, desperate wife, and thinking of solutions.

When they were at their wit’s end, they received a call from their eldest son, Zhan Jingwen, saying that his younger brother’s illness could be treated by an enigmatic master. Zhan Jingshu merely stayed with her for a few days, and the mysterious ailment was stabilized.

Unfortunately, because the master was too young, he didn’t believe it at first, offending the master. It wasn’t until Elder Zeng checked Zhan Jingshu’s condition and confirmed the master’s genuine ability, that he realized how close he was to missing the opportunity.

To prevent his parents from thinking he was acting out, Zhan Jingwen didn’t dare to directly mention Mu Qiuniang’s age and gender, fearing they wouldn’t believe him and refuse to return.

In any case, he first coaxed his parents to return, willing to face any consequences himself.

"Jingwen, how many times have I told you, not to judge people by their appearances, yet you don’t listen?" Zhan Zhengxiao said anxiously over the phone, "Many truly skilled masters are unassuming in appearance; the more skilled they are, the more ordinary they seem. Look at you, your brother’s illness is finally seeing improvement, and instead of thanking the person, you complain about their meddling. How could they not be offended? Quickly bring lavish gifts and personally apologize."

"Yes, yes, definitely bring lavish gifts, personally apologize, and earn the master’s forgiveness," Fu Chunxue, equally anxious upon hearing this, added, "This concerns your brother’s entire future. It’s vital, and no matter how important your pride is, it is not more important than your brother’s life, understand?"

Over the phone, Zhan Jingwen expressed his deep regret, admitting he had personally visited to apologize. The other party has agreed, but...

"But what? What’s difficult to say? As long as he can save your brother’s life, no matter what conditions he proposes, you must agree to them," Fu Chunxue insisted.

"Yes, you must agree. Jingwen, listen to me, money is an external thing. No amount of money is more important than family. If the money runs out, you can earn more, but if a family member is gone, they’re truly gone. There’s no cure for regret in this world..." Zhan Zhengxiao recounted their experience of trying to persuade the master to leave the mountain.

Normally sitting high above, for the sake of getting the master to treat Zhan Jingshu, they had gone through pains, even discarding their pride, kneeling just to make the master leave the mountain.

"Jingwen, in this world, money isn’t everything. Our Zhan Family may seem almighty to some, but to others, we’re like ants beneath the ground. If they choose to ignore you, they will, even if you kneel before them; they’d just see you as an eyesore..."

Zhan Jingwen’s grip on the phone tightened. Could it be that his parents really knelt in front of someone to ask for help?

His heart felt a bit sour. Besides his younger brother’s illness, let alone kneeling, he had never seen his parents in any difficulty, not even a hint of discomfort.

He knew well how challenging it was to treat his brother’s illness but never imagined his parents would one day have to kneel before someone, asking for help! How much does one need to care for family, to cast aside their pride and kneel?

Yet ironically, it didn’t seem to matter to them.

As their son, he couldn’t relieve his parents’ worries; as an elder brother, he couldn’t guide his second brother like a beacon nor potentially resolve his youngest brother’s ailments. He felt utterly useless!

Zhan Jingwen had never felt so useless in his life.
