Chapter 11 Following Celebrity?

  • The car window slowly closed. After the car’s engine started, the car drove away abruptly.
  • At this moment, Liu Yue could no longer stand firmly on her feet. She was on the verge of collapsing.
  • Bai Liuhua reacted quickly and ran over to hug her in his embrace immediately. The two of them slowly sank into a squat due to Liu Yue’s heavy bodyweight.
  • Liu Yue sat down on the floor giddily with tearless grief. Bai Liuhua kneeled on the ground and supported her with nervousness, “Wifey, wifey, are you alright? Don’t scare me...”
  • Liu Yue complained tearfully, “It’s all Bai Ruoxi, that evil bitch’s fault. She landed our Shanshan in jail and now she harmed Shanshan again...”
  • Bai Ruoxi’s heart was completely empty as she stood rooted at the spot and watched the car that had driven away. Then, she looked at the couple who hated her. She was so emotionally exhausted that she did not felt like speaking anymore.
  • In any case, she was already used to becoming a sinner and being called names without rhyme nor reason.
  • Liu Yue slowly raised her hand and pointed at Bai Ruoxi as she accused her while gnashing her teeth, “None of the original wife’s children are good. At the Bai family, you want to kill our family’s Shanshan. At the Qiao family, that Qiao Xuanshuo wants to kill you, the child of a mistress. Our Shanshan was implicated by you again this time... Boohoo...”
  • Liu Yue threw herself into her husband’s embrace and started crying loudly after she spoke.
  • Bai Ruoxi really wanted to say one sentence to her- you reap what you sow.
  • But when she saw how sorrowful Liu Yue cried, she kept quiet. Where would she find the time to pay attention to others when she could not even manage her emotions well?
  • However, her actions allowed the other innocent children of the first wife to be caught in the crossfire.
  • Bai Ruoxi walked away from them wordlessly. She took out a black mask from the side pocket of her backpack while walking and wore it.
  • After her mother became embroiled in trouble, she applied for a month’s leave from her company. Half of the time has gone now. She did not dare to let her guard down, and she could not fully trust Qian Xuanshuo either.
  • -
  • Qiao Film Studio.
  • The giant stone lion at the entrance became Bai Ruoxi’s waiting spot.
  • She leaned against the side of the stone lion quietly with her black mask on.
  • She discovered two servants had disappeared without any traces after investigating for a day.
  • She placed the focus on Tang Lide now.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo’s order did not impose any restraints on her. She was not a soldier, nor his subordinate, and certainly not his blood-related sister after all.
  • Reporters, fans, passersby were everywhere outside the film studio that was bustling with people.
  • “Wow! The idol came out...” A fan screamed and the crowd squeezed forward.
  • Bai Ruoxi glanced at the front out of curiosity. A young idol dressed fashionably with individuality was being escorted out by a few bodyguards dressed impeccably in suits.
  • A man in his young twenties did not have any attractiveness to a woman like Bai Ruoxi who had lived for 25 years.
  • Her sharp eyes saw Tang Lide who was behind the bodyguards and squeezed out by the fans.
  • She immediately stepped forward.
  • After the young idol entered a commercial vehicle, Tang Lide followed in after a while.
  • A famous celebrity going out with a director from the film company was a very common sight.
  • Hence, all the fans waved down cabs to chase after them.
  • Bai Ruoxi waved down a taxi. When she sat down in the front, two girls squeezed into the backseats.
  • “Hurry and start the car, chase after our idol,” The girls shouted excitedly and slapped the seat.
  • Bai Ruoxi turned around and glanced at the girls who sat behind. She pulled down her black mask and angrily said, “Excuse me, please get off the car,”
  • The girl pouted, “Fellow student, we can save more money by carpooling. Since we are all idol fans, we should be kind to each other like a family. Don’t be so petty. If we don’t hurry now, we won’t catch up to them...”
  • Student?
  • Bai Ruoxi wrinkled her eyebrows. Does she look like a high school student? However, the matter would only get worse later due to these girls’ shamelessness.
  • She could only signal the driver to start driving after being left with no choice.
  • The commercial vehicle suddenly stopped at a building named Dika after half an hour.
  • The doors of the commercial vehicle opened and Tang Lide got off.
  • Bai Ruoxi immediately undid her seat belt and prepared to get off when the girls from the back patted the driver’s shoulder and seat crazily, “Hurry, hurry… Follow after them. Our idol is going to leave,”
  • “I want to get off the car.”
  • However, Bai Ruoxi’s voice was drowned out by these crazy screams.
  • The driver stepped on the accelerator nervously.
  • At this moment, Bai Ruoxi wanted to cry but no tears came out. She leaned against the seat and touched her forehead in resignation.
  • -
  • The night approached as lights lit up. The city became a bright, bustling scenery.
  • Qiao Family Villa, inside South Manor
  • Qiao Xuanshuo had a busy day before returning home.
  • He walked into the hall.
  • “Xuanshuo,” a candid voice resounded from upstairs.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo moved his head and saw his older brother, Qiao Xuanpu and sister-in-law Yin Yin walking down from upstairs.
  • Qian Xuanshuo gave a slight smile briefly. Qiao Xuanpu hurried down the stairs and the two brothers hugged together with a clang.
  • “Brother.”
  • “It has been a while since we last met. You have become more and more sturdy.” Qiao Xuanpu was the delicate type. He was tall with a gentle and refined demeanor. He looked like a professor with his silver frame spectacles.
  • After loosening the hug, Qiao Xuanshuo turned to greet Yin Yin who was at the back, “Sister-in-law,”
  • “Xuanshuo should stay now after coming back. You can serve the country regardless of whether you are at the military or home.” Yin Yin spoke this sentence while thinking of her sister’s happiness.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo gave a half-smile and did not respond to her words.
  • “Let’s go and have dinner,” Qiao Xuanpu said.
  • “I had my dinner, go ahead without me.”
  • Qiao Xuanpu nodded his head and brought his wife towards the dining room instead.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo also turned around and walked to the stairs.
  • Qiao Yichuan had already been waiting in the living room for a long time.
  • The couple greeted in unison, “Dad,”
  • Qiao Yichuan spoke weakly without strength, “Let’s eat,”
  • Qiao Xuanpu, “Dad, didn’t you say little sister also returned home to live? Where is she? I have not seen her since I came back from my business trip,”
  • Qiao Yichuan, “She went out early in the morning and has not returned yet. I expected this to happen and already had someone trailing her,”
  • Qiao Xuanpu, “Ask her when she is coming back. I have a present for her.”
  • “Okay.” Qiao Yichuan took out his mobile phone and called the bodyguard’s number.
  • The ringtone rang and echoed a burst of splendid music.
  • “Hello, where is she? Is it safe?” Qiao Yichuan asked majestically.
  • The servant served the meal.
  • Suddenly, a chair was pulled by someone. The three people at the dinner table froze and looked up.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo sat down awkwardly, “I want to have a bowl of soup.”
  • Yin Yin knitted her eyebrows.
  • Her reaction was different from Qiao Xuanpu who smiled lightly. He gestured at the servant, “Serve the soup.”
  • Qiao Yichuan’s face darkened after finishing the call.
  • Qiao Xuanpu helped himself to the vegetable while he asked, “Where did little sister go?”
  • Qiao Yichuan was quite astonished as he replied abruptly, “She went to follow after a celebrity named idol,”
  • “Cough...” Suddenly, an urgent fit of choking sound attracted everyone’s attention.
  • Qiao Xuanshuo had his fist to his mouth and he coughed after turning his head to the side.
  • Qiao Yichuan frowned, “Drink slowly. Don’t rush,”
  • “I’m fine,” Qiao Xuanshuo took the napkin and wiped his mouth as his complexion also darkened.
  • It was different from Qiao Xuanpu who teased him while smiling happily, “Xuanshuo, is your reaction from shock or surprise?”
  • Qiao Xuanshuo lowered his eyes. His face was dark and cold. He forced a soundless brief smile stiffly.
  • Qiao Xuanpu elbowed his beloved wife and asked softly, “The company you are managing is in charge of this. Do you know the person?”
