Li Shaonan was about to argue with Ming Shu. But when he heard a scream from behind him, he became extremely angry. His gaze seemed to be a knife pointing at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu still smiled. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Nope!
Li Shaonan had controlled himself well for many years. But now he had run out of self-restraint and wanted to tear up Ming Shu’s smiling face. However, the voice coming from backstage stopped him and he went over quickly.
Ming Shu jumped down from the chair. Jiang Xun subconsciously stretched his hand out to hold her, but Ming Shu moved her body and avoided his help.
Jiang Xun liked the Host. But Ming Shu was not the Host, so it was better to avoid any misunderstandings.
Love…
It’s so complicated!
I’d be better off loving only my snacks.
Jiang Xun’s gaze darkened and he took back his hand, saying,
Why did you infuriate Li Shaonan?
I hit his sweetheart. What’s the matter with that?
How can I get Hatred Points without infuriating him?
Jiang Xun didn’t know what Ming Shu hitting somebody meant. He thought it might just mean a slap or something like that between girls and there was no need to worry.
But Jiang Xun soon realized he was wrong. He was totally wrong.
This was not a small tussle!
Ning Keqing’s whole body was black and blue except for her face. Just because of this, the issue was ambiguous when she was photographed by journalists.
The news headlines seemed to imply something. With the picture, the newspaper was the scene of the crime.
Because Ning Keqing came out with Li Shaonan, the Money Boss, Li Shaonan, was also reported in the news. Journalists were very different and strange. They could turn nothing into something. It seemed those journalists had seen what happened between Li Shaonan and Ning Kqing for them to write such articles.
Ning Keqing was involved in many negative news reports. Even though she was protected by Li Shaonan, she was still scolded by others.
They all censured Ning Keqing. They said she was shameless and did such things at other people’s parties.
But Li Shaonan was not scolded as much.
There was a strange thing in this world. If there was a matter between a man and a woman, the woman must be scolded seriously.
And most of the people who scolded others were women.
Li Shaonan had never been involved in such gossip. He was very frustrated and those surrounding him were frightened and cautious.
Mr. Li, I’m sorry. Some of the journalists and media are from Starlight Entertainment. We can’t suppress the reports,
the assistant said cautiously.
Mr. Li is so scary right now.
Jiang Nian!
Li Shaonan held his pen so tightly that his fingertips became white. There was much anger in his eyes.
Tell them that anybody who provides her with work is against Jinyu Entertainment.
Mr. Li, we could ban her, but Starlight Entertainment would support…
Mr. Li looked at him sharply. The assistant swallowed and bowed to indicate agreement, fleeing from the office quickly.
Mr. Li threw away the pen. The root of the Jiang Family was not in showbiz, so it wouldn’t be difficult for him to suppress Starlight Entertainment.
Jiang Nian, I will see how long you’ll remain arrogant.
Li Shaonan told others to blacklist Ming Shu. After work, he returned to his silent villa. He switched on the lights and found that everything was a mess. He frowned and looked around, but saw nobody. He went upstairs.
Upstairs in the main bedroom, he found Ning Keqing, hair disheveled and appearance sloppy. Her eyes were red because of crying. In rumpled clothes, she sat on the floor, a computer in front of her.
Li Shaonan walked forward and turned off the computer. Ning Keqing looked at him with bloodshot eyes. Tears immediately began to fall.
Mr. Li…
Her voice was full of grievance and stubbornness, which made Li Shaonan distressed. He walked toward her and hugged her, saying,
Don’t worry. I’m here.
Mr. Li, I’m sorry.
Ning Keqing clutched Li Shaonan’s clothes and cried quietly.
Because of me, they scolded you too. I’m sorry.
Li Shaonan felt uncomfortable because of Ning Keqing’s crying. He tried to comfort her, but whatever he said, she still apologized all the time as if she didn’t hear anything.
Li Shaonan had to kiss Ning Keqing to stop her apologies in the end.
Things got out of control. Ning Keqing pretended to refuse, but they soon had sex.
It was funny. In her last life, Ning Keqing had stayed with Li Shaonan for a long time, but Li Shaonan only kissed her at most. Even when she made him extremely angry, he still just fondled her and never slept with her.
Tonight, some people didn’t sleep. Others slept very well.
Such as Ming Shu.
Aileen was still Ming Shu’s agent now. Since others called her to tell her they wanted to terminate their contracts or replace Ming Shu’s roles, she began to call Ming Shu constantly. At first she could get through, but after a while she found that Ming Shu had turned off her cell phone.
Before Ming Shu’s cell phone powered off, a message was sent to Aileen.
I’m going to rest. If there’s anything, tell me tomorrow.
Where is my knife?
Aileen thought.
If she didn’t know that Ming Shu lived with the Jiang family, Aileen would go to see her, shake her, and ask what she had done to make Li Shaonan decide to blacklist her.
Although, just what she had done before was enough to warrant a ban from Li Shaonan.
…
The next day, the headline news was not Ning Keqing. Now it was about Ming Shu getting banned, which was obvious in every newspaper.
Ming Shu held the newspaper and sighed. Why were things so difficult that the female protagonist even made headlines?
Niannian, what happened?
Mother Jiang pointed at the newspaper agitatedly.
Is it Li Shaonan? Does he still care about our Jiang family?
No.
He only cared about Ning Keqing and the high-ranking people in the world. He wouldn’t care about the Jiang family, which was only a stepping stone.
Mother Jiang patted the newspaper and looked at Jiang Xun, who was about to go out.
Xun’er, you just stand by when you sister is bullied?
Mom, Niannian told me she could handle it.
Jiang Xun kept his head down and voice low. He had asked Ming Shu last night, but Ming Shu told him she could handle it fine on her own.
Just because she said no, you won’t help her?
Mother Jiang said,
No wonder you still don’t have a lover. I’m telling you, you must handle this. Our Niannian can’t be bullied by others.
…
Does this have anything to do with lovers?
Besides, Mom, who is it that disagreed with Niannian working in showbiz before?
Before your dad comes back, this matter must be solved.
When he came back, he might argue with Niannian again. Niannian seldom returned home, she couldn’t leave because of her dad. Thinking that, Mother Jiang was extremely worried and smacked the table, saying loudly,
Xun’er, do you understand!
Jiang Xun was speechless, but he didn’t show it on his face. He nodded.
I understand.
Mom…
Ming Shu said lowly.
Don’t say that you don’t need help. We’re a family. You brother is here, Li Shaonan can’t do anything he wants. Don’t be afraid.
Ming Shu smiled and lifted her empty bowl.
Mom, can I eat one more bowl of porridge?
…
