Chapter 155

Rong Yu’s film crew was right here in Beicheng.

The next day, Jiang Yourong showed up with the other two in tow, all three of them making a grand appearance.

She probably hadn’t told Rong Yu about it. The first reaction on his face when he saw them was delight, but that delight vanished in an instant, quickly replaced by a faint hint of gritted-teeth irritation.

“Why are you here too?” Rong Yu flicked his gaze toward Jiang Baichuan, who was standing behind them carrying Yun Li’s and Jiang Yourong’s bags.

There was a wealth of meaning in that question, as if he were asking Jiang Baichuan, Why are you an accomplice?

“I’m here to visit the set with my girlfriend.” The moment Jiang Baichuan received Jiang Yourong’s message, he had come without a second thought. As long as it meant accompanying Yun Li, he was willing.

But seeing that Rong Yu’s expression seemed off, he quietly ground his teeth and understood.

Visit the set? Whose set were they visiting?

It definitely wasn’t Rong Yu’s.

“Jiang Yourong.” Jiang Baichuan glanced at Jiang Yourong, who had ducked her head, and called her full name in an ominous tone.

Jiang Yourong linked one arm through Yun Li’s and used her other hand to grab Xia Wanzhi, who was trying to distance herself from the battlefield. Grinning, she said, “Xiao Wanzi and Xiao Lizhi said they’d never seen a filming set before, so I brought them here to broaden their horizons.”

Xia Wanzhi gave a light cough and forced out a smile.

The corner of Yun Li’s mouth twitched. She was blunt. “Rongrong said the second male lead is pretty good-looking, so we came to have a look.”

Rong Yu: “…”

Jiang Baichuan: “…”

Xia Wanzhi said solemnly, “I never thought that, okay? I was dragged here against my will. Don’t tell Xie Qiyan.”

If that petty man Xie Qiyan found out she had come to look at another man, all hell would break loose.

Jiang Baichuan endured it. “…”

Rong Yu gave a chilly snort and interrogated his wife. “The second male lead? Qi Shi? You like him?”

“Mm-hmm.” Jiang Yourong nodded twice, then finally shook her head. “I don’t like him. I like you. I just came to take a look.”

Rong Yu was so mad he nearly laughed. He called someone over and instructed them to bring Qi Shi here.

“Qi Shi?” Xia Wanzhi was the first to react.

When she asked, Yun Li and Jiang Baichuan also remembered him.

Yun Li froze slightly. “Qi Shi?”

Jiang Baichuan sneered. “You came to see Qi Shi?”

Xia Wanzhi was practically stunned. She looked at Jiang Yourong. “Why didn’t you say earlier that you were here to see Qi Shi? What’s there to see about him…”

Jiang Yourong let out an “ah.” “You all know him?”

“It’s a long story.” Xia Wanzhi smiled awkwardly.

Before long, Qi Shi arrived. The moment he looked up and saw Xia Wanzhi and the others standing before him, he nearly turned to stone.

Rong Yu raised a hand. “There. I’ve invited him over. Go on, look.”

Everyone: “…”

Xia Wanzhi sighed inwardly. The weather was nice today, no rain, and yet everyone was quite speechless.

“Pre-Pre-Pre… President Jiang, hello.” Qi Shi lowered his head and bowed in greeting, so nervous he could barely speak straight. He glanced at Xia Wanzhi, hesitated, then called out, “Mrs. Xie.”

Xia Wanzhi’s brow twitched.

Ever since Qi Shi had played a butler for Xie Qiyan, he had received quite a few resources from him. Coupled with good luck and looks that had caught the public’s eye, his career had been steadily rising ever since. Although Jiang Baichuan was the President of Jiang Corporation, the entertainment company under Jiang Corporation was managed by Nan Qiyue, so he had never paid attention to Qi Shi’s later developments.

But judging by the current situation, if he had been chosen by Rong Yu to play the second male lead, his status had probably already risen quite a bit. That also proved he had decent ability.

Both in looks and in skill.

Otherwise, Jiang Yourong wouldn’t have become his fan.

“It’s fine, don’t be nervous. We’re just here to visit you on set.” Jiang Yourong was used to moving in fandom circles, and her feelings toward the men in the entertainment industry were purely appreciative. As she spoke, she took out her phone and stuffed it into Jiang Baichuan’s hands, then turned to Qi Shi with a smile. “Well, let me introduce myself. I’m your Director Rong’s wife. Kid, your acting is pretty good. I’ve got my eye on you. Can we take a group photo together?”
Qi Shi’s knees nearly gave out on the spot.

Jiang Baichuan showing up together with Yun Li and Xia Wanzhi was frightening enough.

And now the director’s wife was here too…

Qi Shi felt as if his doomsday had arrived.

To prove that she hadn’t come just to look at male celebrities, after Jiang Yourong finished taking photos, she had Rong Yu take Xia Wanzhi and Yun Li on a tour around the set.

“See? We really did come here to broaden our horizons.” Yun Li tried to tug her hand free from Jiang Baichuan’s grasp and explained helplessly.

Jiang Baichuan nodded. “Mm.”

Yun Li: “…”

Great. Whether he believed her or not, she was definitely getting interrogated when they got back.

Aside from the actors, there were plenty of crew members on set, and wherever their group went, countless gazes followed them openly.

Jiang Baichuan had once publicly admitted on Weibo that he had a girlfriend. And now, he had appeared on his own brother-in-law’s set, holding someone’s hand.

Anyone with half a brain could guess that she was the legendary Future Wife of Jiang Corporation’s President.

As for Yun Li, Jiang Baichuan’s girlfriend herself was chatting and laughing with Jiang Yourong, giving off the impression that she had long since become part of the family.

When they finished looking around and were about to leave, Rong Yu very thoughtfully called Qi Shi over to see Jiang Yourong and the others off.

Jiang Yourong: “…”

Forget it. If a good thing fell into her lap, she might as well take it.

“You’re not seeing me off?” Jiang Yourong shot her husband a faint, resentful look, then lifted her head to stare at the sky, pretending to be angry.

Rong Yu fought back the corners of his mouth from rising. “I’ll see you off, I’ll see you off. Honestly, how old are you and you’re still acting spoiled?”

The next day, a trending topic about rookie actor Qi Shi climbed onto the entertainment hot searches.

#Qi Shi Visited on Set by Wealthy Big Shot#

There were photos as proof, and everyone was saying Qi Shi had connections to Jiang Corporation.

Aside from that, there was another hot search about Jiang Baichuan-

#President of Jiang Corporation Brings Girlfriend to Visit Rong Yu’s Set#

As everyone knew, Rong Yu was Jiang Baichuan’s brother-in-law. And in the photos the paparazzi had taken, not only were Rong Yu and his wife there together, Xia Wanzhi was there as well.

Judging from the photos, Xia Wanzhi interacted with Jiang Baichuan’s girlfriend often and very naturally.

The internet instantly exploded, with netizens speculating one after another about which wealthy family’s daughter this gentle, beautiful future Madam President of Jiang Corporation was-

[Handsome man, beautiful woman, a match made in heaven… I’m already tired of saying all the pretty compliments. I just want to know if anyone knows this fairy’s name so I can come up with a ship name for my new CP!]

[They even visited Rong Yu’s set together. Bold guess: she must have met the parents already, right? Maybe they’re already engaged, ahhhhhh!]

[But speaking of which, doesn’t everyone think Qi Shi looks kind of out of place next to them? What relationship does he have with the Jiang family?]

[No idea what relationship, but there has to be some kind of connection. Setting everything else aside, don’t you guys think Qi Shi is actually really handsome?]

[Qi Shi is handsome. Standing next to Xia Wanzhi, the two of them look so good together, hahaha. I want to ask if Xia Wanzhi would consider entering the entertainment industry. With that face, she’d definitely make waves in the industry!]

…

Normally, Xie Qiyan wouldn’t have joined in on this sort of excitement. Unfortunately, by sheer coincidence, he saw the comments where people were brainlessly shipping his wife with another man.

Xia Wanzhi: “…”

Danger!
