Chapter 140: A Lousy Idea Never Works Out Well
“Mom, why are you wearing a scarf? Is it because they have set the temperature on the air conditioner too low?”
While Qin Xiaobai was sorting out the books on his desk, he looked at the silk scarf on Qin Muxuan’s neck curiously.
“You didn’t sleep in your room last night; did you sleep with dad?”
“Puff!”
When Qin Muxuan heard the question about the scarf, she tried to calm herself by drinking the water. As a result, after Qin Xiaobai had raised the next question, she spat the water she had drunken right away.
“Ah-hem… no one is sleeping with anyone. A child should never talk nonsense like this.”
Qin Muxuan’s face turned deadly read. Perhaps it was because she had been choked by the water.
Kids these days truly knew everything. The TV shows and the Internet had a bad influence on them for sure.
However, Qin Xiaobai looked pretty cool,
“I never talked any nonsense. It’s a normal thing for mom and dad to sleep together!”
“Forget about it. I don’t want to hear you saying anything about people sleeping with each other. You should go to school now!”
Qin Muxuan changed the subject in a hurry without noticing that Qin Xiaobai’s outfit was not the same as usual.
Qin Xiaobai raised his head in shock,
“Mom, don’t you forget that I don’t need to go to school today?”
“What?” Qin Muxuan was surprised to hear that, “Is today Sunday? No, today is Thursday, isn’t it? Why did the kindergarten give you a day-off?”
Qin Xiaobai raised the script, saying,
“I don’t have a day-off, but I have to go to the shooting site this afternoon because the TV play that Miss Yan and I will make is about to start filming.”
“Oh.”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t come back to her sense for a long while, feeling her head about to explode.
She sat down beside Qin Xiaobai and tried to clear her mind.
The teacher in the kindergarten had already granted the holidays to Xiaobai and told Qin Muxuan that Qin Xiaobai didn’t need to go to school after his birthday party. Also, the Gu family also arranged professional tutors for Qin Xiaobai.
Actually, Qin Muxuan didn’t want such a little boy to enter the show business, because she was afraid that Qin Xiaobai would be overly burdened by his job and study.
However, Gu Zijin agreed to let Qin Xiaobai experience more things. Also, Qin Xiaobai was quite talented and had no difficulty in keeping up with the lessons the tutor gave him. The boy himself also wanted to work, claiming that he wanted to earn money for his mother. At last, Qin Muxuan could only set some ground rules first.
As long as Qin Xiaobai was tired or his study and daily life were influenced by his work, he should stop his acting career at once.
Seeing the worried look on Qin Muxuan’s face, Qin Xiaobai got a bit nervous. He waved his chubby hand in front of Qin Muxuan, saying,
“Dabai, what are you thinking about right now? You have been absent-minded the whole morning.”
Qin Muxuan shook her head, not knowing what had happened to her. It seemed that one night with Gu Zijin had not only exhausted her body but also her mind…
“I’m fine. Sorry that I forgot about your arrangement for the shooting.”
Qin Muxuan took a look at the script. The series told a story of a young genius’s life, so Qin Xiaobai had to recite lots of difficult terms.
“How’s your preparation going? A script like this must be very challenging, right?”
“It’s not.” Qin Xiaobai shook his head, “It’s actually very easy for me. Dabai, you have been trying to find an apartment and dealing with your own job lately. Don’t forget to get a rest.”
Qin Muxuan rubbed Qin Xiaobai’s head. She knew that this boy was worrying about her condition today.
She had to deal with too many things lately.
Right now, Qin Xuxuan felt perplexed. Elsewhere, Yan Yuxiao was no better.
Yan Yuxiao wasn’t in no mood to read the script. She pointed to Xiaohuan with her finger in a rage,
“What the hell has happened! Send someone to investigate this immediately! Find out if those people have something to do with Qin Muxuan and were sent here to set me up!”
On the day when Yan Yuxiao ran into Qin Muxuan, she had wanted to buy a villa there.
She did have taken a fancy into a few ones.
Yan Yuxiao never had decidophobia because she believed that only the poor would be troubled by that. Since she liked these villas, she would just buy them all!
The only thing that she was unsatisfied with was a shabby building which hadn’t been demolished in that area. In her view, that building spoilt the whole environment.
The salesperson also knew that this undemolished building would be a huge problem for them to sell other estates.
However, the salesperson could do nothing about this. The only thing he could do was trying to persuade Yan Yuxiao with all kinds of sweet words and preferential policies.
Nonetheless, Yan Yuxiao was not moved by his words and insisted that she would only buy those villas when that building was demolished.
As a matter of fact, Yan Yuxiao was not the only person who had made that statement. The realtor in this area always found that shabby building a pain in the ass. However, according to the rules set by the official entity and Gu Zijin, the realtor could do nothing to that building.
–That was right. That plot of land belonged to the Gu Group.
However, Yan Yuxiao had no idea of this. She really liked those villas, so she kept urging the realtor to drive away those holdouts in order to keep this area safe and the housing price steady.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
She even gave some evil ideas, such as putting some snakes in that building.
This area was covered with vegetation, so Yan Yuxiao suggested that the man should claim that those snakes had entered the building by themselves. It was not like the snakes could talk anyway.
On that day, after Yan Yuxiao had left, the realtor held a staff meeting.
They did have thought of putting snakes in the building, but never had they put that thought into action. After all, the price negotiation with the Gu Group was still proceeding right now. As long as the two parties came to an agreement on the compensation, those holdouts might leave by themselves. Therefore, there was no need to rush into driving them away.
However, after losing several important clients, the real estate sales staff finally started to worry about their jobs.
Especially, they had run into a client like Yan Yuxiao who was willing to purchase several villas resolutely today! They couldn’t afford to lose this client!
Such a chance should never be missed!
The staff realized that now it was time for them to act.
…
As a result, the whole building was in a mess. Some residents called the personnel in relevant departments straightly. This was also why Gu Zijin had been called over to his company early in the morning.
The realtor in that area not only lost his money and job, but also had to be in prison for a few years.
He, utterly frightened, blamed everything on Yan Yuxiao instantly. He claimed that this was all Yan Yuxiao’s idea and she had forced them to do that!
After the paparazzi spread that news, this issue led to a dispute on Weibo. The ones who used to be Yan Yuxiao’s fans or hadn’t known about her now all became her anti-fans and called on banning her forever!
Yan Yuxiao nearly spent all of her savings on deleting all those negative comments. After that, she asked the Public Relations Department in her company to write an article to explain for her and emphasize Qin Xiaobai’s part in the play which they would act in.
After all, Qin Xiaobai had lots of fans who wanted to watch his show. Those fans commented, ‘No matter how disgraceful Yan Yuxiao is, Qin Xiaobai is innocent. We hope that the shooting job of our baby Xiaobai could continue!”
“Poor Xiaobai! Do not get yourself involved with that woman anymore! Anyway, I still want to see him in this play!”
