Chapter 216: Return To The Imperial Capital

“Can’t let them die so easily.” Just when the two were about to die, Gu Xiqiao raised her hand, recalling the Seal of Inheritance.

Then she tossed it toward Wanqi Jue who was in a berserk mode. The red in Wanqi Jue’s eyes had yet to take over fully, was immediately pierced through by the Seal of Inheritance.

Two days later, under Gu Xiqiao’s guidance, Wanqi Jue successfully managed to integrate the Seal of Inheritance in him.

Gu Xiqiao didn’t let the leader and Wanqi Yun die a swift death, but made it so that they couldn’t move, but their minds were clear and they could see everything happening but not say a word. They would watch every single step that the Wanqi family took as they ascended to the leading position in the power world of England.

At the same time, the news of Wanqi Jue being accepted by the Seal of Inheritance swept through England like wildfire.

Even the details of what had happened in the Wanqi family couldn’t be concealed from the eyes and ears of those people in the power world, and there were also some things that the Wanqi family had leaked out to others. They knew that a mysterious figure had appeared in the Wanqi family that day. Not only was this mysterious figure powerful, they were also able to control the Seal of Inheritance!

This piece of news had thrown the power world into a panic.

***Today was the banquet celebration as Wanqi Jue ascended into his position.

Wanqi Jun and the former leader were seated in front of a window as usual, and they were in clear view of Wanqi Jue taking his place, as well as the Seal of Inheritance that he held. Their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and anger as they watched the proceedings.

“What rotten luck, on the day the new leader takes his place, it’s our turn to watch these two!” The guard who was on duty to watch the two stared out and down at the proceedings with admiration in his eyes, and shot cold looks at the two who were seated in the room.

The former leader stared at the two guards in disbelief. He knew these two guards, they had once been stationed at the doors at his place, and they had always bowed and shown respect to him previously. When did people start treating him like this? He glared at them angrily, “How dare you speak to me that way?”

“Not only do we dare to talk to you this way, we also dare to do this!” A guard kicked the chair that the former leader was sitting on, making him fall to the ground and poured a bottle of wine over the former leader’s head. “F*ck your leader position, our family hasn’t had a single good day when you were sitting on your high horse. Now that we have a new leader, not only do we have a chance to become level five masters, but we also have money to receive. You pile of dog sh*t!”

He then stepped on the man’s face with his feet, the voice oozing with hate as he said, “Now that you’re out of the position, we can even laugh while we wake from our sleep!”

After England’s supernatural world had been taken over by this former leader, the changes had been too great, and they even lost a great ally which was the ancient martial arts world in China and this move had greatly weakened them. Now that this person had been stripped of his position, Wanqi Jue had implemented a lot of exercises ever since he had ascended, and everyone had the opportunity to cultivate to the state of a level five master.

And possibly they would be able to once again ally with China’s ancient martial arts world.According to rumors, there were some people from the ancient martial arts world in attendance of the procession today too.

“Hurry and go attend the ceremony, the leader has said that there is no need to watch these two trash.” A soldier pushed the door open as he said this, then hurried away once he had said his piece without a backward glance.

The two guards happily went down once they heard. As for the former leader and Wanqi Yun in the room, who cared about them?

Gu Xiqiao had done something to the former leader, making his entire person basically a vegetable. He lay in the same position on the bed, the wine already mixing into his hair. His eyes were fixed on Wanqi Yun below him, the resentment and hatred burning brightly in his eyes.

Suddenly, a pale figure stood out from the crowd. The former leader’s eyes widened when he caught sight of the figure.

He naturally recognized who it was, it was the person who had played with the Seal of Inheritance the other day.

An inexplicable sense of fear swelled up in his heart when he recalled the day.

He immediately turned his gaze away, bitterly saying, “Wanqi Jue, you’re such a lucky dog, how can you be this lucky!”

Having said that, he returned to his state of helplessness. He was trying to think, what had he done to offend her? To be treated so cruelly, being forced to watch Wanqi Jue ascend into that position, while he would be stepped on for the remainder of his life. He could neither live nor die.

What a joke, this sentence had been initially used to describe Wanqi Jue, but now it had been used on him instead.

“Yeah, who would have known?” Wanqi Yun sat motionless on the chair, his eyes on the plainly clothed girl. If that person didn’t exist, then Wanqi Jue wouldn’t have been able to go against them, let alone inherit the position of leader.

His eyes were full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness, as well as a trace of regret and jealousy.

If Wanqi Jue could hear the words of the two, he would probably be proud. He had been abandoned by the gods, they didn’t want him at all. But now Gu Xiqiao was his god, not only did she heal his injury, she also helped him stabilize the Wanqi family, and even placed him into a position that he never dared to even think about.

In the past few days, he had been evolving and growing step by step. His growth was amazing, who could say it wasn’t?

***

Downstairs, Wanqi Jue was being surrounded by a large number of people from the supernatural world. There was nobody from the Krebs family present in that crowd, and the clan leader of Krebs sat alone in the corner, looking at the crowd gathered around Wanqi Jue. Although he wore an indifferent expression on his face, his insides were twisting vehemently with regrets.

He couldn’t believe that victory would be in favor of Wanqi Jue, whom he had never looked favorably upon!

“Clan Leader Krebs, aren’t you going to congratulate our new leader?” The Albert family had always had a bad personal relationship with the Krebs family. In the fight this time, the Krebs family who always had a good relationship with the Wanqi family had left them, whereas the Albert family had stood by their side all the while in secret.

Because of this, the Albert family’s status had also risen with Wanqi Jue’s rise to power, and it was obvious he had come over to proudly show off that fact in front of the Krebs family’s face.

The clan leader of Krebs frowned, his face stiff. He muttered under his breath, congratulate the new leader? It would be more strange if Wanqi Jue didn’t just kill him with a single blow if he saw him, why would he send himself into an early grave by going up to the man?

Seeing that the barb had gotten through, the patriarch of the Albert family returned to his seat with a content smile on his face, and winked at the hot blond woman who was seated beside him.

The blonde woman was Albert’s only daughter, Mandy, who is only twenty-five this year. She was powerful, and was quite well known in the supernatural world. Albert had hoped that Mandy would be able to compete for a bit more fame, being able to be the leader’s wife would be the best. Or if she couldn’t be the leader’s wife, then being in a good relationship with the Wanqi family wouldn’t hurt the Albert family either.

The main point here was that Albert believed in his daughter’s abilities.

Mandy picked up a glass of wine, but she didn’t directly head toward Wanqi Jue’s side. Wanqi Jue was now a big figure in the supernatural world, and there were also a few other beautiful women hanging around him. She wasn’t interested in that position, she had her eyes on someone else.

A woman in plain clothes was sitting in the corner, and she only had one word to describe her—bland.

It looked like she was someone from the East, but her fast was pale and she had a cold, indifferent look on her face. Her hair was not golden like theirs, but dark as ink that shone under the lights. There was a bird perched on her shoulder, its feather red like flames. Her snow-white face was especially distinct.

Such a radiant person like her was just sitting quietly in the corner, as though she was an insignificant person.

Mandy knew that this woman was not as plain nor insignificant as she seemed to be, because she had seen this person before. The last time when she accidentally broke into the backyard of the Wanqi family house, she clearly saw this woman there, and that Wanqi Jue was pouring her a glass of water.

She thought about Wanqi Jue’s expression at that time, there was definitely admiration and courteousness on his face.

Mandy was a scheming woman, and before the other women had begun trying to flirt with Wanqi Jue, she had already found his information. She knew that he liked some oriental women, but it was something that he hid deep within his heart, and it was probably this woman.

Except for being beautiful on the outside, she really didn’t see any other merit in this woman? There was nothing outstanding about her body, and she didn’t look like she had even reached the strength of a level one master?

As she mulled over these thoughts in her mind, Mandy walked toward the woman.

“You’re not from England, are you?” Mandy sat down beside Gu Xiqiao as though she were familiar with the girl, raising her glass as she asked.

The expression on her face was like someone who was asking for a good beating, and Gu Xiqiao glanced at her as she gave her an indifferent hum. She continued to stare at the direction of the doorway of the hall.

Mandy had hit nothing in her first approach, but she didn’t get angry. She studied Gu Xiqiao for a while, before continuing, “I don’t know that ordinary people from China could enter England’s supernatural world.”

“Another glass of wine,” Gu Xiqiao ignored her, calling for another drink.

The bartender who was walking around heard her words, and came up to her immediately.

Mandy lazily spoke, “And for me.”

With two glasses to fill in front of him, one being the daughter of the patriarch of the Albert family who had recently been in the limelight, and another being a girl from China that no one knew, it was obvious who the bartender would attend to first.

After he had filled her glass, there was nothing left in the bottle. The bartender leaned over to Gu Xiqiao apologetically. “I’m sorry miss, I’ll get a new bottle right away.”

“No need.” It wasn’t like Gu Xiqiao wanted to drink wine, she just wanted to drown out Mandy’s talking.

“Thank you, miss.” The bartender wiped away the cold sweat that threatened to drip down his face, favorable feelings toward this unknown girl growing inside.

Mandy swirled her own grape wine in her hand, glancing at Gu Xiqiao with a contemptuous look in her eyes before turning toward Wanqi Jue’s direction, not bothered with her anymore.

Gu Xiqiao held the empty glass in her hand, reaching up to pat Xixi, who looked like it was threatening to breathe fire. It immediately stopped and settled down, glaring at Mandy with its beady eyes instead.

Mandy was dressed in a slender off-shoulder dress, and she suddenly felt a chill behind her. She touched her back, doubts surfacing in her heart.

The lively feast that was full of chatter went silent suddenly, and it was an uneasy and tense kind of silence that descended. Everyone was subconsciously looking at the direction of the doors.

There, two figures were slowly walking in. The one in the lead was an elderly man with a white beard who was nearly one hundred years old. He looked like those ancient old men in fairytales, and beside him was a man that was miles more eye-catching than him.

His eyes swept through the room and then it paused in a specific direction before he turned away, continuing his walk steadily.

Wanqi Jue and the other senior members of the supernatural world immediately came forward to greet the two figures.

He was obviously from the East, and there was an aura radiating from him that was hard to ignore. Everyone knew that this person was from the ancient martial arts world.

The whispers started up all of a sudden, an uncontrollable excitement running through the crows. It had just been a rumor up to this point, but they didn’t expect that England’s supernatural world to have really managed to once again strike up a friendship with the ancient martial arts world, how could they not be excited?

Mandy was also excited, and she stood up with a ‘thump’, not bothered with the wine glass in her hand. The glass of grape wine was spilled onto Gu Xiqiao just like that.

If it was like any other usual day, Gu Xiqiao would easily be able to avoid it, but today… She was also in a state of disbelief, she hadn’t been able to react because of the surprise at seeing Jiang Shuxuan in person, and so the wine was spilled on her.

It was a big patch of wine and a light color, and Gu Xiqiao looked at Mandy without much expression on her face.

Mandy was in a hurry to hear the news, how could she be bothered with a nobody like Gu Xiqiao? She raised her hand to wave for a waiter, and threw a, “I’ll get the Albert family to reimburse you for the clothes.”

This small incident naturally failed to attract anyone else’s attention, but Wanqi Jue, who had been keeping an eye on Gu Xiqiao, naturally saw it. In his heart, though Jiang Shuxuan was important, these people didn’t hold a candle to Gu Xiqiao (Goddess Gu), and so after exchanging a few words with Jiang Shuxuan, he strode over to her.

“Miss Albert, is this your etiquette?” There was anger in his tone, as well as mockery. He called for one of his subordinates to bring Gu Xiqiao down to get a change of clothes.

The subordinate of his naturally knew who Gu Xiqiao was, and paid her the proper respect before leading her away. His attitude was no different than how Wanqi Jue had treated her.

Gu Xiqiao felt slightly guilty, immediately pressing Xixi’s head down as she followed the man’s subordinate downstairs to change.

Mandy hadn’t been able to offer a word of explanation as she was stunned by Wanqi Jue’s words, her brain repeated his words to process it. She didn’t react for a long time, her mind in turmoil.

It was just a glass of wine, why was Wanqi Jue looking at her with that expression?

When she regained her senses, she was met with the face of her father, the patriarch of the Albert family, whose face displayed indescribable anger. “What have you done? The leader had retracted all the resources that he had allocated to us, and even the ones that he was planning to give us! Do you know how people were looking at me just now?!”

Albert looked at Mandy, the veins on his face visible from his anger. Initially, he had been relying on that grace that he had gotten from the Wanqi family for the support he had given them, and was respected in the recent days by everyone around him. But who would have known just a while ago, that Wanqi Jue would pull back everything given to them in front of everyone, which caused him to be looked at by those mocking eyes! He had completely lost all face that he had!

What had she done?

Mandy was still in a daze, it had just been a glass of wine. Although she had also belittled the girl, she didn’t expect in a million years that Wanqi Jue would react this way.

Albert looked at his daughter, who was still in a daze. His face was still red with anger and he turned and walked away from her.

Seeing her father’s disappointed an angry state, she panicked inside, but didn’t know what else she could do in this situation.

***

Gu Xiqiao was taken to a room to change clothes, and she went through the clothes in the cupboard. They were all glamorous evening gowns, and she dismissed them all, pulling out another simple yellow set of clothes from her inventory.

After changing her clothes, she didn’t return to the banquet due to that slight guilt she felt. Instead, she sat on the chair and took out her computer. It had been a long time since she had played.

The people in the game hadn’t seen her for a long time, and immediately started chatting with her when she logged in.

[Guild] [Elder] For A Millenium: Why don’t I recognize everyone’s name anymore?

[Guild] [Leader] Smoke On Water: The system gave us name change cards, everyone has changed names.

[Guild] [Elder] For A Millenium: I see =.=

[Guild] Fallen Underwear Upstairs: Great god, I want to confess to you!

[Guild] Merciless Sky: Pants, your name has never been so shiny, I respect you as a man!

[Guild] I Love Watermelons: Tsk

[Guild] [Elder] Sunshine: Tsk

[Guild] I Love Watermelons: Come to think of it, the ID of the great god is similar to my goddess’ ID（⊙v⊙）

[Guild] Fallen Underwear Upstairs: Ah!

[Guild] [Elder] Sunshine: What happened?

[Guild] Fallen Underwear Upstairs: I was KO-ed by the great god ┭┮﹏┭┮

[Guild] [Elder] For A Millenium: Sorry, my hand slipped ^_^

Everyone: … Looks like she isn’t someone you should provoke.

Gu Xiqiao led the team from the guild into a dungeon raid. Not playing for so long, she took a while before she could get familiar again, like cutting through butter with a hot knife, she started her one-hit KO again. Then they reached the last stage of the dungeon.

Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen came online at the same time, and when they came on, it was a debate of whether the user ‘For A Millennium’ was a man or a woman.

[Guild] [Elder] Sunshine: That technique was sharp and precise, it’s not something a girl can do.

[Guild] Fallen Underwear Upstairs: Being such a cruel and sadistic character, how can he be a girl ~o（＞_＜）o~

[Guild] I Love Watermelons: It’s impossible that she’s my goddess right ╮（╯▽╰）╭

[Guild] Whispering Winds: …

[Guild] [Vice Leader] Brother Wu: …

[Guild] [Leader] Smoke On Water: … Since you’re all so curious, I’ll organize an offline meet in B City. Whoever wants to sign up, I’ll provide both accommodations and meals.

The atmosphere in the guild was immediately joyful, lodging and meals provided, this was indeed only someone rich and wealthy like Smoke On Wind would dare to do!

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin as she read the words that Tang Qingqiu had sent, were these two not dating each other yet? That idiot Tang Qingqiu, could it be that he hadn’t confessed to Xiao Yun yet? What made Gu Xiqiao even more unsure about whether she should laugh or cry was the reply that Wu Hongwen and Xiao Yun sent.

[Guild] Whispering Winds: I don’t have the time

[Guild] [Vice Leader] Brother Wu: +1

[Guild] [Leader] Smoke On Water: ┭┮﹏┭┮

Gu Xiqiao knew that Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen were busy with training, especially Xiao Yun was even more busy, training and filming were both things that she couldn’t drop, but she finally decided to silently pit hear guildmates against each together.

[Guild] [Elder] For A Millenium: I’ll go!

A few seconds later.

[Guild] Whispering Winds: I suddenly find that I have the time actually.

[Guild] [Vice Leader] Brother Wu: +1

[Guild] [Leader] Smoke On Water: …

Tang Qingqiu: If it wasn’t because I know that ‘For A Millennium’ is Gu Xiqiao, if it weren’t for the fact I know that she was together with Jiang Shuxuan, I will definitely feel that this person ‘For A Millennium’ is a bitchy person who specialize in playing around with people’s feelings!

Gu Xiqiao would never know Tang Qingqiu’s sourness in his heart, as she had started a private chat with Xiao Yun.

Whispering Winds: Actually, we met Master Jiang at the training grounds, cough cough. I was shocked at that time, his face was so black and dark, I can’t help but say, Er Qiao, for you to provoke him to this extent, good luck to you, Amen!

For A Millennium: I am sincerely asking you for advice right now.

Whispering Winds: Sigh, let me ask something else first. Have you unblocked Director Cheng yet?

For A Millennium: … Let’s change topics.

Whispering Winds: … Even Zhu Yuan has come to me.

For A Millennium: Change again!

Whispering Winds: … Mama Tang has also come to me.

For A Millennium: I’m getting off.

Whispering Winds: Actually, I don’t think that Master Jiang is angry with you.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin, wondering if what Xiao Yun said was right. Jiang Shuxuan hadn’t looked angry with her when he saw her just now… if he really was angry, sigh. Gu Xiqiao scratched her head, letting out a sigh.

Whispering Winds: Er Qiao, I’ve never seen you sloppy and twitchy like this. I have to say, so you also have these kinds of days!

Gu Xiqiao: … Is this still considered a friend? Block!

***

The banquet had ended, and Wanqi Jue led Jiang Shuxuan and the elderly man into a meeting room. The three of them spoke quietly about the matter of cooperation, but it was basically only the older man talking about it, while Jiang Shuxuan was obviously distracted, even Wanqi Jue could see it.

When it was coming to an end, Jiang Shuxuan suddenly stood up. His cold eyes on the two in front of him as he said, “Apologies, I have something personal to see to.”

Naturally, no one objected to his words. Wanqi Jue motioned to his subordinates to make sure that no one would disturb Jiang Shuxuan, and his subordinate immediately followed Jiang Shuxuan after receiving the instructions.

Walking out, he headed toward a typical European style building.

Jiang Shuxuan stood in front of the pond for a while, and Wanqi Jue’s subordinate was puzzled at his actions, but he obediently followed behind.

Suddenly, Jiang Shuxuan turned his head, his eyes narrowing as he looked forward.

Behind him, the ornate gate had been opened, and a jade-like figure stood there.

The cold, stiff expression eased immediately, as Jiang Shuxuan looked at the figure unwaveringly.

“Master Jiang, I’m sorry…” As soon as the subordinate saw that it was Gu Xiqiao who had disturbed him, he wanted to explain to Jiang Shuxuan, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shuxuan had suddenly disappeared from in front of him.

His jaw dropped as he looked around in amazement and bewilderment.

Looking at Gu Xiqiao who had her head hung low and her hands pulling the corner of her clothes, Jiang Shuxuan’s anger disappeared instantly. Thinking about the things she had done in England, he sighed. “Have you played enough?”

“Let’s go home, Brother Jiang.” Gu Xiqiao raised her head, smiling at him. It wasn’t as fun as she thought it would be, the Imperial Capital was still a little more fun.

When Wanqi Jue arrived, he saw the scene of the two of them standing together, and he suddenly stopped.

All the doubts and guesses in his mind came together.

Why did Gu Xiqiao suddenly target the leader of the supernatural world of England? She didn’t have other motives, just that she wanted to teach the former leader a lesson on behalf of Jiang Shuxuan. Because the leader of the international mob came out suddenly and went against him, which unexpectedly ended up with Jiang Shuxuan getting injured, she didn’t hesitate to take care of the entire situation without a care for herself.

The reason why Jiang Shuxuan suddenly wanted to play nice with the supernatural world of England, and the display of support in the change of leadership, as well as his support toward Wanqi Jue. Jiang Shuxuan’s words still held a lot of weight, otherwise, Wanqi Jue wouldn’t have had such a smooth takeover.

These two had done so much behind the scenes, yet neither of them came forward to admit it.

After figuring it out, Wanqi Jue smiled suddenly. He looked toward the two figures that were approaching him with slight envy in his eyes.

“You’re leaving tomorrow?” Wanqi Jue’s face was surprised. “I haven’t had the time to properly thank you both.”

Gu XIqiao was about to open her mouth to say it was not needed, when Wanqi Jue suddenly smiled brighter at her. The past few days of managing things had shaved away the sharpness in him, and his smiles were now more gentle, like a peach blossom in the spring breeze. “But it’s alright, I still have a long, long time to repay you after all.”

His voice was deep and low, his gaze like water. When he looked at people, his gaze made you feel like you were the only one in his eyes.

Jiang Shuxuan’s face darkened immediately, his first instinct was to slap the person in front of him to the side, but he held back after thinking about it, pulling Gu Xiqiao out of the place instead. How was this saving a person? It was obvious that she had saved a troublesome fly instead!

They were leaving! Right now!

Gu XIqiao: “…” Dumbfounded.jpg

Wanqi Jue returned to the elderly man, who stroked his beard as he said with an indifferent expression, “This old man will wait for Young Master Jiang’s return, and will go off with him.”

“Lord Elder,” Wanqi Jue started, a smile on his face, “Mr. Jiang has just gone ahead and returned home.”

“…F*ck!”

Watching the old man leave with the smile still on his face, Wanqi Jue suddenly received a text message from Gu Xiqiao: [The Seal of Inheritance has many secrets. I hope that you will use it wisely, if there is anything you don’t understand, I can explain it to you.]

Wanqi Jue shot a reply back: [Why are you helping me?]

[My wish is to have world peace.]

What did that have to do with anything? Wanqi Jue read the sentence over and over, and he asked the same question, but Gu Xiqiao didn’t reply. He tried calling her, but her phone was turned off.

It was likely she was on the plane, which was what Wanqi Jue had thought.

He didn’t know, in this world, there was something else.

It was called a black list.

***

At the same time, in the Imperial Capital, Fu Wei had just finished reading a report and he looked up to Fu Dongyi. “Where’s Jun’er?”

“Miss has recently been at A University most of the time, and there’s no other movement.” Fu Dongyi adjusted his glasses, reporting Fu Xuejun’s recent behavior.

It was nice to have peaceful times, Fu Wei thought as he let out a breath of relief. He was afraid that Fu Xuejun would throw a tantrum, and now that the Fu family had removed her heiress status, it was also an endurance test for her. He hoped that she would learn how to control her temper from this.

“Has Director Cheng replied?” Fu Wei asked, suddenly remembering.

Fu Dongyi knew what Fu Wei wanted to ask. “Director Cheng has, he already has a suitable candidate for the female lead of the movie. No matter how much money we invest, he will not change the idea of his.”

“Is that so, well, you can go on down first.” Fu Wei waved his hand, letting out a small sigh. He recalled the girl that had superb talent in acting, and had thought about pulling some strings for her in the Imperial Capital. He didn’t expect Cheng Zhou to already have a candidate in mind.

He was also aware of Cheng Zhou’s attitude, stubborn to the core, and that was why he didn’t bother pushing the matter.

He’ll just have to find another opportunity.

Fu Wei cheered himself up with the thought, and looked at the contract that Nine Heavens had given him. The more he read through it, the more surprise and shock he was. When he finished reading the contract, he realized that working hours was over.

***

In a cafe, Fu Xuejun played with the diamond necklace in her hand. It was the latest designer design.

“Xuejun, this really matched your skin tone.” Shi Haixuan was looking at Fu Xuejun, a smile on her face.

“Thanks.” Fu Xuejun put away the bracelet, lacking interest. It was just a diamond necklace, she had plenty of more expensive things back home in her cupboard, so it was natural that she wasn’t the least attracted to these. “I need to go home.”

Hearing those words, Shi Haixuan’s eyes lit up. “Are you going back to your cousin’s house?”

“No!” Fu Xuejun lowered her head. How could she go to the Baili house, with all those cold eyes on her? She’s not crazy!

“Oh.” Shi Haixuan’s face stiffened for a moment, before warming up again. “Xuejun, don’t forget what you promised me.”

“I know.” Fu Xuejun was frustrated, she picked up her bag and walked out of the cafe.

Behind her, Shi Haixuan stood in the same place for a long time, before picking up the call from her mother. “… I know mom, I’ll endure it.”

She watched Fu Xuejun’s departure, biting her lips. She had long heard that Fu Xuejun was favored by both the Fu and Baili family. Looking at it now, it didn’t seem that it was so. But Baili Bin would probably listen to Fu Xuejun’s words a little, as long as she maintained a good relationship with the girl, Baili Bin would definitely look at her, right?

Thinking of this, Shi Haixuan’s eyes flickered under the light.

***

Outside the house, Fu Xuejun opened the door of her car and sat in the driver’s seat. She closed her eyes and lowered her head, not opening it for a long time.

Yesterday night, she had overheard a conversation between Fu Wei and Baili Wenxi. The two of them were picking a role for Gu Xiqiao, and Fu Wei wasn’t hesitant in investing a hundred million yuan just to give Gu Xiqiao the role of a female lead!

The jealousy in her heart was threatening to burst out at any second now, and Fu Xuejun took deep breaths to calm herself. If this went on, when they found out Gu Xiqiao’s true identity, then she really would be useless…

No, it couldn’t go on like this!

Didn’t Gu Xiqiao win both her parents’ favor due to her superb acting skills?

With that thought in mind, Fu Xuejun pulled out her phone to make a call. “Dad, I want to be an actress!”
