Chapter 37: Xuanbao Wants to See Where Mommy Works!

Chapter 37

Although Wu Yufei was not particularly impressive, it had to be said that people like her, who lacked any real integrity, were exactly the type who could thrive in the entertainment industry. If she were groomed a little in the future, it was not impossible for her to achieve something. Arthur Chen was just starting to gain momentum and needed allies. Therefore, Feng Kuzi giving Wu Yufei an opportunity was, indirectly, a way to cultivate strength for Arthur Chen.

Upon hearing Feng Kuzi’s words, Wu Yufei’s eyes brightened, and a hint of malice flickered in her gaze. "Director Feng, I definitely won't let you down!"

In Wu Yufei's eyes, Yang Mi had long been a thorn in her side, an eyesore she wanted to remove! Even without Feng Kuzi’s prompting, she had already made up her mind to get rid of Yang Mi. As long as Yang Mi remained in the entertainment industry, she would always feel threatened.

Feng Kuzi raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "Hmm. Later, you and Arthur can contact Director Li; he will fill you in on the production details."

Wu Yufei nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Director Feng!"

Arthur Chen was equally grateful. "Uncle Feng, thanks."

Feng Kuzi looked at Arthur Chen meaningfully and said in a raspy voice, "Your father has high expectations for you. Don't let him down. If you two are busy, go ahead and get to work."

After exchanging a few polite words with Feng Kuzi, Arthur Chen took Wu Yufei and left the villa.

...

Meanwhile, at the Tomson Riviera residential complex, Yang Mi had finished breakfast and was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through the news on her phone. Beside her, He Baibai’s eyes sparkled, her face full of joy.

"Haha! Sister Mi, you’ve hit the jackpot this time! Wu Yufei is completely finished!" He Baibai exclaimed. "Her scandals are all over the internet; her public image has totally collapsed. She surely won't have the face to stay in the entertainment industry anymore!"

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Yang Mi’s lips. Seeing an old rival fail, she couldn't help but feel happy. Perhaps the road ahead would be smoother now.

After the brief moment of joy, Yang Mi calmed down. "Although this matter is resolved, we still don't know who truly helped us."

Truth be told, Yang Mi had been harboring doubts. She believed that Jiaxing Media alone could not have quelled the public opinion so thoroughly. After all, Liu Yanbin had no personal connection to her; he wouldn't help her for no reason. There might be something else hidden behind this. But who exactly was this person? Yang Mi couldn't guess.

He Baibai sipped her coffee and laughed, "You’re still thinking about that? I told you already, Xuanbao said her daddy was helping you. It must be that Li Qing told Xuanbao he would help, just to coax her. What does a little kid know?"

Yang Mi shook her head and said, "I didn't say it was Li Qing... Even if it isn't him, there must still be someone behind the scenes helping us. But we don't know who it is, and I really don't like this feeling of being kept in the dark."

He Baibai did not deny it. The fact that the public outcry had been silenced so cleanly meant a great deal must have been spent. Therefore, it definitely wasn't just Jiaxing Media involved.

"Sigh, how would we even find out?" He Baibai said. "Sister Mi, we should still go and thank Chairman Liu properly. After all, he really did help us. Not abandoning us at such a critical moment is already a great favor."

Yang Mi nodded, then looked at the pile of gifts in the living room—the items previously brought by William, the chairman of Estée Lauder. "Let’s head to Jiaxing now to thank Chairman Liu properly. Let’s take some of these gifts—those high-end supplements and a few bottles of fine wine—let's bring them along."

Yang Mi wasn't very experienced in choosing gifts, so she decided to just use the ones William had brought; their value was appropriate.

He Baibai nodded. "Alright, Sister Mi. I’ll go tidy up, and we’ll head out in a bit."

...

Meanwhile, at the Huazhou Junting Villa, Xuanbao was wearing a new outfit, standing at the courtyard gate, looking at Li Qing with anticipation. "Daddy, where are we going to play?"

Over the past few days, Xuanbao had become familiar with the villa and often wanted to go out for a stroll. So, after a hearty breakfast, Li Qing prepared to take her out. In the past few years, Xuanbao had never really been out to play.

Li Qing gently picked her up and smiled. "Where does Xuanbao want to go?"

After placing Xuanbao in her safety seat, Li Qing sat beside her and said tenderly, "Wherever you want to go, that’s where we’ll go."

Xuanbao’s eyes widened, and she said happily, "Xuanbao wants to... wants to see the big buildings!"

Li Qing was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but laugh. "See the big buildings? There are plenty of those outside."

Xuanbao shook her head and said with some effort, "No... not those big buildings. I want to go to the place where Mommy works. Mommy said she works in a big building. Can Daddy take me to see it?"

Li Qing smiled. Xuanbao missed her mother. It was only natural; the child was only three years old and had always been with Yang Mi. Now that she was suddenly with him, she was bound to miss her mom.

Li Qing smiled indulgently. "Alright, Daddy will take you there right now. But when we see Mommy..."

Before Li Qing could finish, Xuanbao chimed in, "Xuanbao knows! We have to pretend we don't know each other when we're outside. Mommy taught me that before."

As she spoke, Xuanbao looked a bit disappointed, her little mouth pouting. "But why can't I call her Mommy outside... other kids can."

Li Qing smiled slightly. "If you see Mommy, you can call her if you want to."

Although this might lead to Yang Mi being exposed, it didn't matter to Li Qing at all. For Xuanbao’s sake, he didn't mind giving Yang Mi a little push to make her a top-tier figure in the entertainment industry.

However, Xuanbao seemed much more sensible than he had imagined. She shook her head firmly. "I have to listen to Mommy; I can't cause her any trouble. Daddy, let's go!"

Li Qing smiled. "Alright. Wang Mian, head to Jiaxing Media."

Wang Mian, sitting in the driver’s seat, chuckled, "Brother Qing, should I give Liu Yanbin a heads-up? If you drop in for a surprise inspection, I don't want to give him a heart attack."

Li Qing said indifferently, "It’s not that serious. Just drive. I’m just taking Xuanbao out for a look; he should just go about his business."

The car set off, and an hour later, it pulled up slowly in front of the Jiaxing Media building.
