“Oh, you want to send Xiao Qing home? Then you should do that first.” Madam Shen’s voice immediately became softer.
Shen Mubei couldn’t help but laugh. He put away his cell phone, and Xiao Qing pursed her lips.
He tilted his head and said, “My mother really likes you.”
Xiao Qing had long known that Madam Shen liked her because of that child.
However, even after her miscarriage, Madam Shen came to see her many times. It was obvious that she was genuine about her feelings for her.
When they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, Shen Mubei was in a hurry to rush home, so he did not send Xiao Qing upstairs.
She opened the car door and was about to get out when she suddenly turned around. “Shen Mubei, does your mother like me more, or do you like me more?”
“Come closer, then. I’ll tell you.”
Xiao Qing had no choice but to give up getting out of the car and approach him.
Before she could listen carefully, Shen Mubei grabbed her neck and pulled her closer to him. The man’s thin and cold lips pressed against hers.
This time, she finally knew what a loving kiss was like.
However, she still did not know that every time he kissed her in the past, it was also filled with love.
When Xiao Qing returned home, she closed the door, leaned against it, and rubbed her cheek.
Mrs. Xiao walked over quickly. “Qing Qing, you’re finally back. Fortunately, you didn’t marry Shen Mubei. Otherwise, you’d be in trouble now.”
Xiao Qing guessed that her mother must have seen the trending searches.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao flipped open her cell phone and stabbed at the screen. “Look at him! He had a girlfriend at that time! Seriously, I didn’t expect him to be a scumbag.”
“Mom, don’t talk about Mubei like that.”
“Why can’t I…” Mrs. Xiao was stunned. “Don’t tell me you’re with him again? Don’t be so stupid. I think that Zhao woman is right. If he could treat her like that, he could treat you like that too.”
“Mom, it’s not what you think.” Xiao Qing held her mother’s hand. “Don’t blame him.”
Shen Mubei’s response to Zhao Xinshu was very simple.
He turned on his cell phone, clicked on his Weibo account that had only reposted international financial news twice, and typed out a post.
[Zhao Xinshu and I were indeed in a relationship, but we broke up peacefully and I paid her the corresponding compensation for her youth. I got together with Xiao Qing after ending my relationship with Zhao Xinshu. I seek everyone’s understanding. If anyone has any objections, please target me. Xiao
Qing is innocent.]
His Weibo post was straightforward, powerful, and honest.
Hence, a lot of people believed him.
Of course, there were also some people who continued to slander Xiao Qing.
Not long after they posted those comments, they received calls from lawyers.
After being influenced by such a domineering move, no one dared to criticize anyone even if it was just to vent their emotions. They only dared to discuss the matter as it stood.
There was no response from Xiao Qing, but Shen Mubei had already covered for her.
This matter had originally caused a huge commotion, but it did not affect her as much as the last time Zhang Xi slandered her for modifying the scripts.
The thunder was loud, but the rain was small, making this incident a little boring.
Zhao Xinshu was afraid that Shen Mubei would sue her, so she stopped making a fuss on Weibo.
Fortunately, after this commotion, Shen Mubei did not cause trouble for her.
As for Zhang Xi, she kept her promise and signed her under her. Zhang Xi let Zhao Xinshu join the cast and play the third female lead in the TV show that Zhang Xi was in.
On the day Zhao Xinshu went to the set, she dressed up beautifully and was in her best state.
However, when she arrived, she realized that Zhang Xi was not there.
“Miss Zhang didn’t come today. I think you should come another day,” a staff member said casually as he busied himself.
“But Miss Zhang asked me to come over. She said that she’s filming today and asked me to get here early.”
“The production team didn’t receive any notice that a newcomer was coming over.” The staff waved his hand. “Why don’t you go in and ask yourself?”
Zhao Xinshu and her manager walked in.
The staff were filming inside, but after asking around, no one mentioned about receiving a new actor today.
The director’s assistant recognized Zhao Xinshu and said, “Why don’t you go to Miss Zhang’s house to take a look? She hasn’t come to work for two days.”
Zhao Xinshu had no choice but to rush to Zhang Xi’s house with her manager.
“Xinshu, it’s okay. Miss Zhang might have forgotten about it. We’ve already signed the contract. Why should we be afraid that she’ll breach the contract?” “That’s true, but I’m just afraid that something will happen.”
“That won’t happen. Miss Zhang’s family is powerful. Although they can’t compare to Shen Mubei, they’re not people Shen Mubei can control casually.”
The manager’s words made Zhao Xinshu feel much more at ease.
The car finally stopped in front of the Zhang family’s house.
The door was wide open, and the two of them walked straight in.
Before they got close, they heard a commotion from inside. It sounded like a fight was about to break out. The entire roof seemed to be about to be lifted.
Zhao Xinshu and her manager looked at each other.
A person who looked like a nanny sneaked out from the corner of the wall. The manager had seen her before and even given her some money.
The manager immediately called her over to ask about the situation.
“The situation is too complicated. Sir has been keeping two women outside,
and this matter was exposed. What’s worse is that one of these two women brought a son back while the other brought a daughter back. They’re both about the same age as the miss. Everyone is arguing now. Now that the family is about to split the assets, the miss can’t handle it either. After all, the sir only has one son. Everyone seems to be on the young master’s side now…”
The nanny droned on for a while, and Zhao Xinshu’s and her manager’s expressions changed.
Zhang Xi definitely didn’t have time to care about Zhao Xinshu’s matter now.
The nanny said in a low voice, “Don’t tell anyone what I told you. I just want to hide far away so that I won’t cause trouble. If you have something to talk to the miss about, you can come another day. The miss seems to be in a very bad mood now.”
What else could Zhao Xinshu say? At this point, she could only leave for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the matter with Zhang Xi’s family wasn’t resolved for a long time. The entire family’s interests and the company’s situation were constantly declining. Zhao Xinshu could not join the cast, and Zhang Xi could not film on time either. The impact was huge.
Zhao Xinshu could still rely on the check she had asked Shen Mubei for after her mother’s car accident to pay for her expenses. She got her manager to bank in the check at the bank.
However, the manager did not get anything.
This check that could be exchanged for a sum of money every month had been stopped.
“There’s nothing left. You won’t be able to get any money in the future..”
