Xia Wanyuan had a large number of fans, and Su Yueran was not bad either. Regarding who had won the Best Actress award, the netizens discussed animatedly, each holding a word.

Because Su Yueran was favored by Director Charon, more viewers thought that Su Yueran could win the Best Actress Award.

[Actually, Xia Wanyuan is also very amazing. I think she acted quite well.]

[Hehe, it’s just a presentable movie. How dare she compete with others for the Best Actress?]

[ The person in front, shut up. The Best Actress evaluation doesn’t look at quantity, but quality. So what if it’s one? As long as your acting skills are good enough, it doesn’t matter even if there’s only one. ]

The fans were arguing non-stop. In the production team, Xia Wanyuan had just finished a scene and sat down to rest when Su Yueran, who had not appeared for a long time, came.

“Miss Xia.” Su Yueran had a smile on her face, looking gentle and elegant.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly.

“I came to see you act. Your acting skills are good, so I should learn more from you.” Su Yueran sat on the chair beside Xia Wanyuan. “Actually, I think the winner of the Best Actress nomination will definitely be you. Your acting skills are

Luo Anning looked at the crazy crowd and her footsteps paused for a moment. Rong Yan held her waist tightly with one hand to prevent her from being knocked. Seeing her hesitation, he lowered his head and moved closer to her ear, “Aren’t you very interested? Let’s give it a try.”

Looking at the crowd that was getting crazier and crazier, Luo Anning bit her lip and shook her head,”… I don’t think so.”

Didn’t he not like to be crowded with others?

There were so many people. Even if he wouldn’t be bumped, there would inevitably be physical contact at such a close distance. Could he bear it?

After considering all these, Luo Anning was a little disappointed and decided to return to the villa. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, her waist suddenly tightened and the man used force to hold her.

“Don’t worry, no one will bump into you. I’m here.”The man’s deep and magnetic voice was like a treasured vintage wine. It was so mellow and seductive.

It was a little sexy and a little seductive.

Especially that sentence, with me here, it was worth a thousand words.

”… But you don’t like to be crowded…”Luo Anning hadn’t finished her troubled words when her lips were blocked by a slender index finger.

In the man’s deep and phoenix-like eyes was a deep smile and… doting?

Before she could ask again, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Not long after, Xu Zhiyuan and the bodyguard immediately appeared behind the two of them.

“Young Master Rong, Young Madam, Good evening!”They greeted in unison.

Their voices were not low, but they were still drowned out by the cheers and cheers of the crowd.

Luo Anning turned around to look at the person who had just arrived. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Xu Zhiyuan and his bodyguards were all wearing ordinary casual clothes. The black and strict black suit that they wore during the day had long disappeared.

As for the bodyguards in black, they had changed out of their heavy black suits and put on ordinary clothes that were no different from ordinary people. The frightening sense of strictness had been greatly reduced!

Luo Anning could not help but sigh. “People really rely on their clothes and horses… different clothes make people have different temperaments.”

Xu Zhiyuan coughed. Young madam, are you praising or belittling me?

“All of you follow me. Just don’t let anyone get close.”After giving the order, Rong Yan held his wife and walked into the crowd.

The bodyguard led the way, and Xu Zhiyuan followed closely behind the two of them.

With the strong body of the man in black leading the way, it was indeed much smoother. The two of them came to the long table filled with beer. At this time, the host gave the order and announced the official start of the beer competition.

rents to Beijing five years ago, she had been doing all sorts of odd jobs every day and knew the route to this city very well.

Along the way, Liu Ling rode a bike to a basement.

At the entrance of the basement, a middle-aged woman was washing clothes. Beside her lay a man smoking. Not far away, a little boy was playing with the toy plane in his hand.

This was her family.

Liu Ling walked forward. “Dad, Mom.”

The middle-aged woman looked up at her with disgust in her eyes. “Why are you back? Have you forgotten what I said? Get lost.”

“Mom, I can earn money now.” Liu Ling walked towards her parents.

However, the middle-aged man stood up, picked up the stool under his butt, and threw it at Liu Ling. “What a prodigal thing. We raised you for nothing.”

Liu Ling was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind. “Dad, Mom, listen to my explanation.”

The middle-aged woman put down her clothes and looked up. “Let me be honest with you. You know that your health isn’t good and you can’t go out to work. We really can’t afford to raise you. You’re already an adult. Just treat it as if you don’t have us as your parents in the future.”

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Ling fiercely. “Aren’t you leaving?!”

Liu Ling’s eyes were filled with tears. Finally, she steeled her heart and turned to leave.

Looking at Liu Ling’s departing figure, the little boy playing with his toys suddenly chased after him. “Sister,” but he was stopped by his parents.

“You’re not allowed to go. We can’t afford to raise her anymore. We can only raise you. She’s not your sister. Don’t go over.” The middle-aged woman pressed down the little boy who had been struggling. “She’s sick. It’s none of her business if she dies in the future. Alright, good baby, stop crying. Mommy will buy you your favorite hamburger, okay?”

Hearing hamburger, the little boy stopped crying and obediently left with the middle-aged woman.

Her parents kept explaining, so Liu Ling could only return to the hotel. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s promise to give her money, she wiped her tears, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write a story seriously.

After completing her scenes with the production team, Xia Wanyuan had just left the production team when she met a large group of reporters.

“What do you think of Miss Su Yueran being nominated for the Best Actress Award like you?”

“How has An Rao been recently? Can you tell us?”

Xia Wanyuan replied simply, “No opinion.” “Pretty good.”

With that, she was about to leave when a reporter reached the microphone to her mouth. “Mrs. Jun, you have a good relationship with An Rao. You must know Bo Xiao, right? What do you think of Bo Xiao’s treason?”

When he said this, the surroundings fell silent. The other reporters were shocked that this colleague was so bold to ask such a sharp question.

As expected, the originally calm Xia Wanyuan suddenly stood tall. The reporters around her could not take it and took a step back.

“Who told you that Bo Xiao betrayed the country?” Xia Wanyuan looked coldly at the male reporter who asked the question.

“Isn’t that so? Otherwise, why would such a high-ranking general be arrested and sent to prison? According to our country’s laws, he must have committed an extremely serious crime to be punished like this.” The reporter braced himself and met Xia Wanyuan’s gaze.

“There will be an official evaluation of the truth. It won’t be you making wild guesses here.” With that, Xia Wanyuan got into the car, leaving the reporters looking at each other.

“Tsk,” the male reporter who asked the question looked disdainful.” She must be guilty and doesn’t dare to admit it. If Bo Xiao didn’t betray the country, how could he be captured? What kind of person is he?”

The others were silent. After all, it involved Bo Xiao’s level, so no one dared to say anything.

However, not talking nonsense did not mean that they did not hint at it while writing news.

To people who played with words, as long as they wrote that meaning, it did not matter if the table expressed their opinion.

Hence, that day, the news of Xia Wanyuan berating the reporter was spread everywhere.

The news hid Xia Wanyuan’s specific answer. The main point was that after Xia Wanyuan heard the reporter ask Bo Xiao a question, she scolded the reporter angrily.

[Um… Is this considered anger stemming from embarrassment?]

[I quite want to know what’s wrong with Bo Xiao. It’s been so long, but the officials haven’t given a specific response.]

[ Xia Wanyuan is so angry. Could Bo Xiao really have betrayed the country? As his wife, An Rao shouldn’t appear in the entertainment industry anymore. She’ll lead the children astray. ]

At the same time, everyone paid attention to the fact that Bo Xiao could be awarded as a chief at such a young age.

After all, to people in the military, it was already very capable to be a company commander in their lives. There were only a few chiefs in the country, let alone someone as young as Bo Xiao.

[ There’s no need to guess. If you ask me, there must be a conspiracy. According to rumors, Bo Xiao is valued by a certain military leader. They originally wanted him to be their son-in-law, so they nurtured him vigorously. In the end, after Bo Xiao became famous, he dumped the leader’s daughter. ]

[… The person in front, is that true?? Bo Xiao doesn’t look like that kind of person.]

[Hehe, why not? Otherwise, how do you explain how Bo Xiao became a chief in his twenties? What a joke. Furthermore, it’s an era of peace and there’s no war. Where would he get the credit?]

These words rendered everyone speechless. Hence, all the major forums, Tieba, and Weibo began to guess Bo Xiao’s identity.

The most popular post was “What’s wrong with our society? What’s wrong with relying on connections to become a high-ranking general? In the end, such a person even colluded with the enemy. What kind of vermin have we raised?”

Many people who did not know the truth were agitated by this pile of posts and were furious.

In the apartment, An Rao lay on the sofa and looked at her phone as usual. Then, she saw the news on Weibo. After casually flipping through it, An Rao threw her phone aside angrily. “What kind of person is this?”

Bo Xiao came over with a plate of sour plums. “What’s wrong?” As he spoke, he was about to pick up An Rao’s phone.

An Rao reacted and shouted, “Don’t touch my phone!”

Bo Xiao was stunned. “Petty. Alright, I won’t move. I’ll give you plums.”

“Mm.” An Rao extended her arm to Bo Xiao. “Come and accompany me.”

Bo Xiao could only sit beside her. However, An Rao, who had been extremely greedy just now, had no appetite.

Bo Xiao was a smart person. He could guess what was wrong with An Rao’s expression. He knocked An Rao’s head. “Don’t think nonsense. I won’t care what others say.”

An Rao carefully looked at Bo Xiao’s expression and pulled his hand to her stomach. “Do you hear it?”

“Hear what?” Bo Xiao laughed.

“Baby said that Daddy is the most amazing hero.” An Rao pursed her lips. She knew that Bo Xiao had a strong mentality, but no matter who it was, how could they not be sad to be questioned and mocked by the people she protected?

“Got it.” Bo Xiao patted the back of An Rao’s hand. “Eat first. I’ll go out and buy something.”

“Yes.”

Bo Xiao left home but did not go to the supermarket. Instead, he walked to the backyard of the neighborhood and sat on the bench.

He took out his phone and swiped it casually. A large amount of news about him surged over.

“What else does Bo Xiao have other than his face?”

“Bo Xiao is ungrateful. He relied on his face to climb up the ranks and even married a female celebrity in the entertainment industry to hype himself up. Shameless.”

“What high-ranking general? He obtained a rank through shady means and actually colluded with the enemy to betray the country. How disgusting.”

…..

The large number of eye-catching comments made Bo Xiao’s expression turn cold.

He was also someone who had seen great storms and climbed out of bullets, but now, he felt that…

Rumors and evil words were sometimes more hurtful than thousands of troops on the battlefield.

Even someone as mentally strong as him would be sad because of these comments.

Bo Xiao took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he thought of An Rao. He put the lighter back and only held the cigarette in his mouth. He looked into the distance quietly, thinking about something.

In a corner that he did not notice, An Rao looked over worriedly as she touched her stomach.

Ever since the production team of “Leisurely Life” announced that Jiang Kui and Zou Man would join the variety show, their fans had increased.

Other than urging the broadcast to start every day, the most important thing for a large number of netizens was to ask the production team if they had invited Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan.

[Wait and wait. Today is also the day I crazily request Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan to appear on the variety show together.]

[Although the hope is slim, I still want to squat here and wait for a miracle to appear.]

In the manor, Xia Wanyuan had just finished her homework with Xiao Bao when she received a call from Chen Yun.

“Wanyuan, you know Jiang Kui and Zou Man, right?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan took a pen and wrote on the paper.

“The two of them are going to participate in a variety show. It’s a little similar to the love variety show you and CEO Jun went to last time. The production team sent an invitation. I just want to ask you if you’re willing to participate.” Chen Yun felt that with Xia Wanyuan’s personality, she probably wouldn’t be willing to participate in such a competition.

However, to his surprise, Xia Wanyuan actually agreed. “Sure, take it.”

“Huh? Oh, okay. Then I’ll reply to the production team.”

“Mm.”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wanyuan wrote on the paper.

Xia Wanyuan knew very well that the Jiang family must be behind the production team’s invitation.

Since the Jiang family wanted to use the power of public opinion to suppress the Jun family, she might as well go with the flow and see who would suppress who in the end.

After so many years of cooperation, the Jiang family and the Jun family had reached the point where only one could stay. Neither could tolerate the other.

When the production team received Chen Yun’s reply, they thought it was fake. The production team’s director waved his hand. “The liars nowadays are too good at seizing every opportunity. They’re quite good at grasping the direction of the wind. They even lied to me. Did the liar say that he wanted the deposit to be sent first?”
