Su Xing never doubted that her strength surpassed her beauty. However, it seemed that the entertainment industry was quite lucrative. No one was willing to turn down money, after all! In this day and age, without money, one could hardly move an inch. Su Xing truly didn’t want to miss out on such a great opportunity.
Mu Beiyao had long seen through this woman. Although she spoke freely, her true feelings leaned towards not wanting Su Xing to stir up trouble for herself. Bao Er, even though you can be your own capital and have a strong mental fortitude, with your looks, if more people really got to see you, you might not have a moment of peace in the future!
In the entertainment circle, there were plenty of people who were supported financially, especially someone like Su Xing. If she entered the industry, she would be a hot commodity in every aspect, from looks to talent!
Not accepting offers? I’m not some naive newcomer; I can handle this much! Mu Beiyao remarked, “You really are fixated on money, aren’t you? You can’t expect to throw all the responsibilities of the company onto me alone. I still have that troublesome group of clients to deal with!”
This title was one only Su Xing could bear; among her regular clients were even the Supreme Lady and the Mother of the Nation. How could they afford to be negligent?
At this point, Su Xing also realized that she had many industries backing her; she wasn’t so free as to delve into a field she knew nothing about. Speaking of the company, she felt a bit puzzled. Did Xiang Yi, the online surfing expert, not see the news this time? How come she hadn’t bombarded me with messages?
Mu Beiyao confidently said, “Haha, she’s probably circling above us right now!”
Su Xing nodded in agreement. Soon after, they indeed received intel that Lu Xiangyi’s assistant Zheng Ying had arranged for a car to pick her up from the airport! Who else could cause Zheng Ying to arrange for a pickup if not Lu Xiangyi herself?
As time went on, Su Xing became increasingly annoyed by the constant harassment from various companies trying to contact her. Among them were calls filled with malice aimed at getting back at Han Ruoxi.
By evening, Su Xing finally surrendered. She decided to send out another message refusing any film offers; she had a proper job and a normal life!
Mu Beiyao shrugged, “Whatever you want; you’re not relying on that income anyway. Just send out a message and once the hype dies down, things will settle!” Now even her mother had learned about Su Xing from social media; if she wanted peace again, it might take a while!
However, just as Su Xing sent out her message, another one from Shen Jingyu caught everyone’s attention: “I won’t let the woman I love seek attention or entertain the public.”
The entire day had passed without any contact, and yet he was still online playing that game! Mu Beiyao, upon seeing this, couldn't help but mock: "Oh, so you finally know which side you should be on!" Although he hadn't clarified his relationship with Han Ruoxi, it was clear he was acknowledging your position!
Mu Beiyao and Su Xing were still sitting on the sofa, having swapped the white wool blanket for a pink one. They munched on snacks and dried fruits while surfing the internet. Beside them was a large bag of snacks that Mu Beiyao had ordered online, meant to be shared with Lu Xiangyi later.
They had no intention of leaving the house today. After all, no one knew if Han Ruoxi had any crazy fans lurking around, waiting to plot against Su Xing.
As for Su Xing's acknowledgment of Shen Jingyu, she found it inconsequential. When things were left unresolved, they often became more chaotic. All she wanted now was some peace of mind! So she blocked Shen Jingyu and switched to a phone number he didn't know. Although he could easily add her back, Su Xing's stance was clear! It would be interesting to see what he would do next.
Currently, Li Li had also scheduled a meeting with her, and Li Zu Mao was still part of the equation. Lawrence might still be watching closely; she had neither the heart nor the time for romance!
However, life often has a way of defying expectations. The two people who were meant to be together seemed destined to collide from the very moment they met.
At half past ten, Lu Xiangyi initiated a group video call. Besides her, Mu Beiyao and Su Xing were also present, along with Qin Bing.
Lu Xiangyi: "I knew you two were together! Sisters! Guess where I am!"
Mu Beiyao: "No guesses!"
She shared a picture of her favorite snacks spread out on a table.
Su Xing: "We're at the Imperial Star; just come over directly."
Qin Bing: "I have a case to handle. How about I join you all next month for Su Xing's birthday?"
Everyone chimed in: "Yeah right! Who knows what case you'll be tangled up in next? With your workaholic schedule, none of us dare to hope!"
Su Xing: "Thanks, Xiao Bingbing! You helped me vent my frustrations while I was drunk yesterday!"
"I'll treat you to your favorite spicy crayfish later!"
Mu Beiyao raised an eyebrow. "Hey, why didn't you thank me? I spent the whole night with Lao Qin last night!"
Su Xing tilted her head to look at her. "But you weren't by my side! I’ll thank you with my fiery looks; feel free to admire me up close!"
Su Xing puffed her cheeks out, as if to give Mu Beiyao a good look.
Lu Xiangyi raised an eyebrow. "Sister Xing, you’re getting bolder! It seems this romance hasn’t affected you much at all! The outdoor horseback riding I arranged for that day was supposed to be a relaxing outing for you. Are we canceling it now?"
Su Xing straightened her lips into a straight line. "Thanks, Xiangyi! But from now on, no more thrilling activities for me. I'm getting old, and my heart can't keep up with your pace!"
Lu Xiangyi chuckled. "Tsk tsk, even as an older woman, your love life is still so passionate. I’m envious! We must go horseback riding by the beach and off-roading in the jungle when I get back! I've already made plans! We’ll set off tomorrow morning!"
"I can't believe how dull your lives are without me around. Now that I'm back, just watch out!"
Lu Xiangyi was full of enthusiasm; she was two years younger than Su Xing and seemed perpetually full of energy in their presence.
Su Xing glanced at the time. "Alright, you should rest up now that you're back. I need to meet someone at the bar and will join you later! I'm off!"
Qin Bing smiled throughout but kept her eyes glued to the computer screen. When her assistant came looking for her, she bid farewell as well. "I’m off too!"
The group chat ended. Mu Beiyao frowned at Su Xing, who was getting up. "Maybe you shouldn’t go. My right eyelid is twitching, and I feel uneasy."
"What's there to be afraid of? My self-defense skills are decent. Besides, we live in a law-abiding society; a bunch of unruly fans really can’t disrupt their own lives just to chase after Han Ruoxi!"
Su Xing didn’t believe in such superstitions.
"Just stay home and wait for Xiangyi. Once that girl returns, she’ll definitely brag about what new thrilling activity she learned!"
"See you later."
As Su Xing spoke, she grabbed her car keys and headed out.
Mu Beiyao watched her retreating figure with a sigh that blew lightly against her brows.
"Once a man enters the picture, everything gets chaotic."
Left at home waiting for Lu Xiangyi, Mu Beiyao's mind drifted restlessly.
