How could Lu Li have 100,000 yuan to compensate this company? She lowered her head aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

“How much does she owe you?” A cold female voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Everyone here knew Xia Wanyuan. Everyone was a little surprised to see her suddenly appear.

Especially the middle-aged supervisor in front of Lu Li. She looked at Xia Wanyuan and then at Lu Li. “Mrs. Jun, do you know Lu Li?”

At that moment, Lu Li turned around. The corners of her eyes were still red. “Sister Xia.”

The supervisor’s expression changed instantly. She retracted her hand from Lu Li’s arm. “I’m sorry, this is all a misunderstanding.”

Everyone knew that Xia Wanyuan was Jun Shiling’s wife. If they offended her, how could they continue living in Beijing? The supervisor’s heart sank and he smiled carefully. “It’s a misunderstanding.”

“She owes you money?” Xia Wanyuan asked again.

“No, no. She gave wrongly. We can return the money to her now. It’s a mistake.” The supervisor hurriedly took the thing from Lu Li’s arms and signaled his subordinate with his eyes. “Aren’t you going to return the money to Miss Lu?!”

Looking at the manager’s instantly changed attitude, Lu Li was stunned. She was clearly very fierce just now. Why did she become like this when Xia Wanyuan arrived?

It was only when she had ten thousand yuan in her hand and the ten thousand yuan the company had compensated her with, and she followed Xia Wanyuan out of the company that Lu Li truly believed that her world had lit up again!

I had gotten my money back! There was even an additional ten thousand yuan. I could stop eating steamed buns!

“Sister Xia, you’re the best. You’re really a fairy, right?” Lu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan with sparkling eyes. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would still be training on an empty stomach.

“They saw that you were innocent and tricked you into training here.” Xia Wanyuan opened the car door and let Lu Li in.

Lu Li nodded. “Sister Xia, I didn’t know at first, but I found out later.”

“Then why didn’t you leave? Why did you let them bully you?”

Lu Li’s big eyes were clean. “But I’ve paid the money. I thought that since the money had already been cheated, it was better to learn something here. I’m not familiar with many things in Beijing. Although they bully me, they will teach me some things.”

Xia Wanyuan’s hand that was holding the steering wheel paused. She looked at Lu Li in surprise. She had thought that Lu Li was innocent, but she did not expect Lu Li to be more transparent than she had imagined.

This young lady was only innocent, but she was not stupid at all.

“You really want a job?” Looking at Lu Li’s innocent eyes, Xia Wanyuan asked.

“Mm.” Lu Li nodded. With a job, she would have money. With money, she could build a new house for her grandparents and they would not have to farm anymore.

“Then be my manager.” Xia Wanyuan started the car.

“Huh?!” Lu Li’s eyes widened as she looked at Xia Wanyuan’s cold side profile in surprise. “How do I do that well? Sister Xia, I can’t take advantage of you.”

Lu Li knew her own capabilities. Although she did not know much about the entertainment industry, she knew how popular Xia Wanyuan was. She was afraid that she would mess things up if such a popular person asked her to be a manager.

“You did well.” Xia Wanyuan looked very confident. “My former manager is married, so I only have one manager by my side now. He can’t handle it, so just treat it as helping me.”

When Xia Wanyuan said this, Lu Li hesitated. “Sister Xia.”

“I believe you can do it well. Don’t you believe in yourself?” Coincidentally, there was a red light. Xia Wanyuan stopped and looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li bit her lip. Xia Wanyuan’s cold eyes had the power to stir one’s heart. Lu Li nodded. “Sister Xia, I definitely won’t let you down.”

Xia Wanyuan sent Lu Li to the entrance of the hotel. Xuan Sheng was standing at the door in a black coat. His hair was a little messy from the wind, and he looked like he had been standing in the cold wind for a long time.

Lu Li glanced at him and turned around. “Sister Xia, I keep feeling that CEO Xuan looks very pitiful.”

There was something else that Lu Li did not dare to say. Furthermore, she felt that Xuan Sheng looked so sad, especially when he looked at Xia Wanyuan. There was a sadness about not being able to get it in it.

Xia Wanyuan stopped the car. “Stay in the car now. I want to talk to him.”

“Okay.” Lu Li nodded obediently.

Xia Wanyuan got out of the car and Xuan Sheng forced a smile at her. He was still flirtatious, but the unruly look he had when she first saw Xuan Sheng had disappeared.

“I thought you were going to leave directly.” After standing at the door for a long time, Xuan Sheng flexed his wrist and touched the prayer beads on it.

“The Xia Corporation will give you the green light,” Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng and said.

According to what she knew, the company Xuan Sheng had established was in a key game with Glory World Corporation. Xuan Sheng’s company needed a lot of investment and market.

The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up slightly. “Tsk, can you not be so good? There’s no reason for me to dislike you like this.”

“It’s cold outside. Go in.” Xia Wanyuan ignored Xuan Sheng’s affectionate gaze. “Lu Li will be living here recently. Please help me take care of her more. She doesn’t understand many things.”

Xuan Sheng smiled. “You’ve already spoken. How can I not take care of her?” With that, Xuan Sheng hooked his finger at the car. “She’s out, little girl.”

Lu Li got out of the car and waved at Xia Wanyuan, then followed Xuan Sheng in.

Xia Wanyuan got into the car and remembered that she had been busy with Lu Li and had forgotten to reply to Jun Shiling.

She took her phone and saw that there were indeed two missed calls from Jun Shiling.

Xia Wanyuan called and Jun Shiling only said, “I’ll wait for you at home.”

“Okay.”

When they returned to the manor, Shen Xiu was also there. Jun Shiling’s expression looked a little unnatural.

Xia Wanyuan walked over. “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan over. “No, I remember that we haven’t had a physical examination in a long time. I called Shen Xiu over for a checkup today.”

Xia Wanyuan knew Jun Shiling too well. One look at his expression and she knew that it was definitely not that simple. However, Xia Wanyuan did not ask further. She nodded and was very cooperative.

Shen Xiu drew their blood and left the manor.

At this moment, Xia Wanyuan poked Jun Shiling’s arm. “Tell me, tell me honestly. Why did you ask Shen Xiu to come and check?”

Jun Shiling pursed his thin lips and was silent for a moment. “I wanted to get Shen Xiu to investigate why we haven’t gotten pregnant again after so long.”

As soon as Jun Shiling finished speaking, a smile appeared in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. Seeing Xia Wanyuan smile, Jun Shiling was a little angry. He covered Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “You’re not allowed to smile.”

Although her eyes were covered, the dimples on her face could not be covered. “CEO Jun, who said that he didn’t want a second child last time?”

Jun Shiling reached out and carried Xia Wanyuan upstairs. “I can have a second child, but I don’t want a son.”

Xia Wanyuan chuckled. “If Xiao Bao hears you, he’ll definitely mess with you.”

“I’ve already sent him to Grandpa’s house. He can’t hear me,” Jun Shiling said calmly, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun Shiling’s neck. “Bad Daddy.”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her deeply.

Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, my good daughter.” Jun Shiling continued walking leisurely, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before reacting. She pinched Jun Shiling angrily. “You’re getting more and more indecent.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling smiled and accepted Xia Wanyuan’s evaluation very calmly.

——

The night gradually darkened. A video suddenly appeared on Weibo, which had been quiet for the entire day. Then, the entire Internet surged.

The video came from a small entertainment website.

In the video, Director Charon looked disdainful. “Is Xia Wanyuan worthy of acting in my movie? I can never let Xia Wanyuan appear in my movie.”

[ Uh… The trending topic of Xia Wanyuan’s Chinese Light has yet to be released from the trending list. This slap to the face came too quickly. It’s so awkward. What should I do? I feel awkward for Xia Wanyuan. ]

[So, Xia Wanyuan wasn’t chosen for Director Charon’s new movie at all? Then why have you been bragging so enthusiastically these few days? You make it sound like it’s real. I thought she was chosen.]

[ Are you crazy? Xia Wanyuan’s studio has long clarified that you were the ones who gave her a lot of titles here and praised her. Now, why are you scolding Xia Wanyuan? ]

The argument about the video was not over. Soon, Director Charon posted a message on his official Weibo account in China.

@ Charon: “Welcome, Little Angel of the East @ Su Yueran, to my new movie, ‘God of the Universe’. I look forward to our cooperation colliding with different sparks.”

[How awkward. So Su Yueran was chosen? Congratulations, Su Yueran. As expected of the Best Actress. She’s indeed amazing.]

[Wow, she deserves it. Su Yueran is indeed the leader of the Chinese entertainment industry. She really worked hard for us this time.]

With Xia Wanyuan attracting a large wave of firepower in front, now that the real candidate had been announced, everyone was not as agitated as before. The comments were mostly filled with praise and encouragement.

Looking at the scene on the Internet, the corners of Zou Man’s lips curled up. “Xia Wanyuan? I really want to see her fall from grace.”

After closing Weibo, Zou Man stood up and touched her stomach. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her exquisite makeup. After confirming that there was no mistake, she picked up her bag and walked out the door.

Today was the day Jiang Kui cut the ribbon for the new building developed by the Jiang Corporation. Not only were there heavyweight leaders present, but all the major media reporters in the country had also gathered.

On the high platform, Jiang Kui was wearing a suit and giving a speech. “Welcome, everyone.”

However, before he could finish speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “Aiya, what’s wrong with this person?!”

The ribbon-cutting was interrupted. Jiang Kui looked at the crowd unhappily, but he saw a familiar figure.

Zou Man was lying on the ground holding her stomach with a painful expression.

“Call an ambulance!” The person beside him called the hospital in panic.

At this moment, a man in a white coat ran over from not far away. “Everyone, don’t panic. Give us some space first. I’m a doctor from the central hospital who came here for a volunteer consultation. Don’t worry, I’ll check the situation first. Calm down.”

With that, the man squatted down and looked at Zou Man’s pupils before taking her pulse.

Jiang Kui had a bad feeling.

The next second, the doctor looked up and patiently comforted Zou Man in front of everyone. “Relax, the child in your stomach is still safe. Take a deep breath and stay calm. Lay your legs flat and wait for the ambulance. It’ll be fine.”
