Chapter 2106: Side Story (5)

The director was at a loss.

He didn’t want to offend Shen Fanxing. Now that she was Bo Jinchuan’s wife, he had to be wary of her.

Moreover, the little princess of Ping Cheng City, who was well-known back then, was now a rising star in the business circle. Especially Li Tingshen’s wife, who could determine life and death with a glance.

He couldn’t afford to offend either of them.

Lu Weier was indeed blind. She had just stood out and relied on the resources that CP Entertainment had given her to mess with Madam.

Wasn’t he courting death?

“CEO Shen, what do you think…”

He subconsciously asked Shen Fanxing if Lu Weier could still be used.

There was a distant and polite smile in Shen Fanxing’s eyes. “Director Guan, I’m not the one being bullied today.”

The director hurriedly looked at Ye Qingqiu. “Mrs. Li…”

Ye Qingqiu wasn’t pretentious. She asked coldly, “Do I look like a good-tempered person?”

The director understood.

When Lu Weier’s assistant heard how the director addressed Ye Qingqiu, her eyes widened in fear.

However, Ye Qingqiu’s meaning was so obvious that she couldn’t help but panic. “Mrs… Li, the company is counting on Wei’er’s drama to win an award this year. President Li has invested a lot. Not only that, but there are also many people working hard for this drama…”

“Yes, that’s why it’s a pity. Because of Lu Wei’er, everyone’s efforts will be in vain.”

The assistant was in disbelief.

Would such a huge investment go to waste just like that?

In the end, wasn’t that her money?

“Mrs Li, think carefully…”

“What are you thinking about? Forgive her?” Ye Qingqiu brushed her hair behind her shoulders and sneered at the few people in front of her. “It makes me look like I’m the brainless one.”

With that, she adjusted her coat and left.

Shen Fanxing sighed to the director before leaving.

–

She chose to continue filming, but she didn’t use Lu Wei’er. Instead, she used someone else in the drama.

What happened at the scene was not exposed, but it did not stop Li Tingshen from knowing.

On the way back to the company, Lu Weier’s assistant comforted her confidently. It was probably because Li Tingshen had to consider the overall situation and wouldn’t let Ye Qingqiu mess around.

Lu Wei’er thought about it and felt that what her assistant said made sense. There were too many people and matters involved in a movie. As long as she won the Best Female Lead award, her value would definitely rise. If Li Tingshen wanted to ban her, he would have to consider it carefully.

However, when they reached the company, the gazes of everyone on them made them panic again.

It wasn’t until her manager called her to the office and told her to have a good rest that she panicked again.

“What… does that mean?”

“Everyone is promoting the movie now. How can I, the female lead, rest at such a time…”

“There are naturally other arrangements for the publicity. The arrangement for you is to rest.”

The manager’s tone turned cold. He had put on a gentle face, but when he saw her acting dumb, he threw the pen on the table and his face turned cold.

“Lu Wei’er, do you know how many resources I’ve snatched from my colleagues for you? How many people I’ve offended? Do you think that you got the spot to focus on nurturing celebrities because of your strength? What gave you the confidence to be so arrogant outside? It’s a matter of licking blood on the tip of a knife to ride on CEO Li.”

“Do you think that as CEO Li’s wife, she doesn’t know what you’ve done in the past? You’ve endured until today because you’re giving CEO Li face. Lu Wei’er, you’re really courting death. It’s fine if you have ulterior motives, but you even danced in front of Ye Qingqiu. Serves you right for not having a bright future.”

Lu Weier sat on the chair with a pale face.

–

Li Tingshen called Ye Qingqiu a few times, but she didn’t answer.

She stayed at the Bo residence as if nothing had happened.

However, late at night, Li Tingshen appeared in the living room of the Bo family.

Dressed in a well-ironed black suit that was shrouded in the coldness of the night, his tired and handsome face had an obvious coldness. His dark and long eyes were filled with darkness.

Seeing Shen Fanxing coming downstairs with her clothes on, Li Tingshen seemed to understand something.

He asked coldly, “Where is she?”

Shen Fanxing pointed to the guest room on the third floor.

Just as she finished speaking, a cold figure walked past her.

The butler looked at Shen Fanxing worriedly, frightened by Li Tingshen’s murderous aura.

Shen Fanxing smiled at him and said, “It’s alright. Go and rest. Make more breakfast tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

—

Li Tingshen, who had taken three steps at a time, stopped at the door of the guest room on the third floor. He held the door handle with his well-defined hand and stared at the door for a long time before finally pressing the handle.

The moment the door opened, a familiar fragrance entered his nose, causing his tensed body and face to relax.

After entering the inner room, her eyes adapted to the darkness and she could vaguely see a thin bulge on the spacious double bed.

With her long hair scattered across the pillow, Ye Qingqiu lay there quietly.

No matter how dark it was, he could still see.

—

The next morning, Ye Qingqiu opened her eyes and frowned when she felt the arm around her waist and the familiar breath on her neck.

Perhaps sensing that she had woken up, the arms around her waist tightened.

“Li Tingshen, I’m not in the mood to argue with you now. Let go.”

Indifferent.

“Why? Are you trying to strangle me to death so that someone can make room for Mrs Li?”

Li Tingshen was silent for a while before he sat up. His eyes were a little red and his voice was hoarse.

“You know that she’s nothing.”

Ye Qingqiu lowered her eyes and said casually, “Yes, she’s nothing. Just like Liang Xuer, I’m the one who created trouble out of nothing.”

“Actually, it’s not like I can’t guess what Shen Fanxing is thinking. I’m willing to fulfill her wish and fall into her trap.”

“Actually, even if she didn’t do it on purpose, I won’t let her off.”

“Who asked her to be an eyesore to me?”

Li Tingshen watched her calmly as she finished speaking, but his cold eyes gradually relaxed.

Cen Bo’s lips curled into a faint smile as he reached out to pick up Ye Qingqiu’s hand.

“Does it hurt?”

Ye Qingqiu snorted coldly and retracted her hand. “You even hit her.”

With that, she got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.

Downstairs, Li Tingshen sat on the sofa, looking handsome and calm.

“I’ll let bygones be bygones for what happened this time, but please come to me directly if you want anything in the future. I’m afraid Jinchuan will blame me for tiring you again.”

Shen Fanxing smiled faintly and said, “You make it sound like I’ve benefited greatly.”

She paused and changed her position on the sofa. She looked up at Li Tingshen with a smile. “It’s just a small supporting role in a drama. It doesn’t enhance Yaochi much. If she wants better resources, she can choose whatever she wants.”

“If Ah Chuan really blames you for tiring me out, I’m afraid you can only endure it.”

Li Tingshen stared at her for a few seconds with a faint smile on his face.

“As expected of you, Shen Fanxing. You harmed my soldiers and I’m grateful to you.”

Shen Fanxing smiled gently and said, “I haven’t made you lose everything.”

Li Tingshen sneered in a low voice. “After all, the Best Supporting Actress award isn’t cheap, Sister-in-law.”

Shen Fanxing said, “I wish us a happy cooperation in advance.”

Li Tingshen’s lips twitched and he didn’t say anything.

So she was waiting for him here.

The filming had continued the day before and no one other than Shen Fanxing dared to make such an arrangement.

The drama couldn’t be ruined because of Lu Wei’er, provided that Pei Yaochi won the Best Supporting Actress award.

This was the only intersection between the two of them.

Therefore, whether he earned a lot or lost everything, it was all thanks to their “cooperation”.

In that case, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of her in the future.

She must have eaten too much.

Sang Yu, who was sitting far away, was dumbfounded. Although she had vaguely guessed that Sister-in-law might have some plans yesterday, she didn’t expect so many things to be involved…

She looked at Shen Fanxing with admiration.

*

The butler didn’t understand why Mr Li, who was full of killing intent last night, was in a good mood today.

Mrs. Li, who had just come downstairs, didn’t look too good. She even looked angry…

Especially when Li Tingshen saw the gloomy-looking Ye Qingqiu. His usually handsome and indifferent face was now filled with gentleness.

The butler was about to instruct the servants to prepare breakfast for Ye Qingqiu and the children when Shen Fanxing stopped him.

“Let her do it herself.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t see any servants when she entered the dining room. When she entered the kitchen to look at the breakfast prepared for the children, a tall and slender figure stood behind her. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

A clear and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“Stay away from me.”

Afraid of losing his hospitality, the butler couldn’t sit still.

“Why don’t I go and take a look? How can I let the guests do it themselves…”

“The two of them are in love. Are you sure you want to disturb them?”

The butler looked puzzled.

“But Mrs Li seems to be angry with Mr Li…”

Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “It’s because she’s angry.”

“Huh?”

“Ye Qingqiu touched Lu Wei’er to tell Li Tingshen that she was jealous.”

Realization dawned on Sang Yu and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth in surprise.

So that was it.

If a woman stayed by a man’s side and was indifferent to the woman who appeared beside him, what did it prove?

Of course he was happy that Ye Qingqiu was still jealous of him.

Li Tingshen couldn’t ask for more!

PS: We’ll continue tomorrow. There’s a high chance that there will be other couples in the book. Currently, Wen Xuchen vs Yuan Muchun. Shang Qingmo vs Shang Qiqi.
