12 – Yan Shimo, His Name is Very Similar to My Good Son
Su Jinxia was shoved out by Tuo Tuo.
Xiao Bei looked worried. “Sister Yan, Su Jinxia is definitely going to make Sister Mei give you a hard time… What should we do?”
Yan Qing looked relaxed, her fox-like eyes, accentuated by makeup, slightly upturned at the corners, giving off the vibe of a powerful female CEO.
“Then fire her first.”
Xiao Bei was stunned: ?
You really dare to fire your agent.
It was important to remember that Yan Qing had signed a harsh contract with Orange Blossom Media, filled with many unfair clauses, which was why she had been held back all this time.
However, Yan Qing didn’t seem to care about any of that.
She lifted the corner of her eye slightly. “Help me find out which lawyer specializes in this kind of dispute. I only want the very best.”
If she wanted to soar freely in this life, she had to break free from this rotten company and her blood-sucking agent.
“A lawyer?”
Xiao Bei thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. “I remember now! There’s a prodigy in the legal world who’s skilled in all kinds of cases and has never lost a single one. His name is Yan Shimo!”
Actually, most people wouldn’t pay attention to such things.
But Yan Shimo was different. His looks were considered the pinnacle of the legal world, and he had become famous even before graduating, so many people outside the industry who cared about appearances knew of him.
“Yan Shimo?” Yan Qing suddenly looked up.
Xiao Bei grinned. “Yes, Sister Yan, and what a coincidence—you share the same surname! Could it be some long-lost older brother trope? Hehehe…”
After all, Sister Yan had never known her origins since childhood. She had been sold to the agency by human traffickers, while the Yan family was a super-rich dynasty at the top of the food chain.
“A biological older brother? Absolutely impossible!”
Yan Qing pondered seriously for a moment. “But this name does sound a bit familiar…”
Shimo.
In the first world she visited in the Quick Transmigration World, the child she raised happened to have the same name.
“Hmm?” Xiao Bei’s eyes sparkled.
She looked at Yan Qing expectantly, only to hear the girl declare confidently, “It’s exactly the same as my dear son’s!”
Xiao Bei: ???
She really shouldn’t have expected anything!
…
July often brought sudden storms and heavy rain.
The weather had been sunny and clear during the red carpet event in the morning, but just as they were preparing to go home after the recording, the weather changed abruptly.
Yan Qing blinked as she gazed at the dense, foggy rain.
“How pitiful.” A mocking voice came from beside her.
Su Jinxia was surrounded by admirers, with an assistant helping her into a coat and holding an umbrella. A car was waiting outside the studio specifically to pick her up.
She sneered, curling her lips. “It seems a certain nobody is only fit to walk home in the rain. But it serves her right if she gets drenched—after all, those who do evil will face retribution!”
“You…” Xiao Bei clenched her fists in anger.
But Yan Qing’s red lips curved into a smile, radiating a fox-like charm. “So you know retribution exists too.”
She gave Su Jinxia a meaningful glance.
“What do you mean?” The little white lotus’s face instantly changed.
She glared at Yan Qing with hostility. “Yan Qing, I advise you not to get too arrogant. I was careless this time, which is why you succeeded. Sooner or later, you’ll find out who the real top star at Orange Blossom is!”
“Oh, whoever wants to be can be.”
Yan Qing replied dismissively, as she didn’t care about a measly little Orange Blossom anyway. “I wonder which unfortunate pile of cow dung will end up with an orange blossom like you stuck in it…”
“Pfft.” Xiao Bei couldn’t help but laugh.
Yan Qing stroked the snow-white fur of the alpaca, her eyes lifting slightly. “Tuo Tuo, what do you think?”Tuo Tuo stared at Su Jinxia, a hint of a domineering, disdainful smile curling at the corner of its mouth: heh—
Su Jinxia immediately shrank behind her assistant in fright.
She hurriedly pulled up her mask, afraid of getting sprayed in the face with alpaca spit again. “Yan Qing! Control your beast!”
Clearly having been spat on too many times, she was now not only fully equipped but also conditioned to flinch reflexively.
“I… I’m leaving first!”
Su Jinxia glared at it warily. “It’s just a beast, always relying on others to act tough! You can all wait together to get drenched to death!”
After all, there was absolutely no way anyone would come to pick them up.
Thinking this, Su Jinxia felt much better. She turned on her high heels and got into the car.
Tuo Tuo spat at the tire. “Ptooey!”
The van had just started and was about to speed away when, for some reason, the tires suddenly skidded. “Screech—”
Su Jinxia, sitting inside, was thrown sideways, her head hitting the window. She gasped in pain.
“That’s one tough alpaca,” Xiao Bei said, giving a thumbs-up.
Tuo Tuo smugly wiggled its little butt, proudly lifting its face to look at Yan Qing, seeking praise.
Yan Qing hugged it and gave it a big kiss.
She took the alpaca’s lead and was about to try hailing a taxi when a cool, pleasant scent of cedar drifted over from behind.
A suit jacket was gently draped over her shoulders.
Yan Qing turned around and met a pair of naturally charming peach-blossom eyes. Jiang Wangyan lowered his gaze slightly, his fingertips lightly pressing as a black umbrella suddenly opened with a “whoosh—”
In that moment, raindrops splashed.
But they were all blocked outside the black umbrella.
The man reached out to adjust the jacket on the girl’s shoulders, hiding the slender waist exposed by her dance costume inside.
His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her waist.
Yan Qing shivered and shrank back, but then she felt the touch of Jiang Wangyan’s lips against the tip of her ear. “Weren’t you quite fierce to your brother before? How did you end up getting bullied by someone else like this?”
Xiao Bei: !!!
She had seen the living Jiang Yandi up close again!
And she had witnessed with her own eyes the usually aloof and detached actor gently brushing his fingertips against her Yan Jie’s waist!
Yan Qing widened her eyes. “You were watching the show just now?”
Hearing this, Jiang Wangyan lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
His voice carried a hint of laughter, his already magnetic tone making her ears tingle. “If your brother had stepped in to help you, wouldn’t that have robbed a certain little fox of her fun?”
If she had said she needed help,
he could have immediately mobilized the Jiang family’s influence to make Orange Blossom Media go bankrupt within two minutes.
But he knew Yan Qing all too well. When this little fox was in a mischievous mood, she didn’t like others interfering.
Rather than stepping in without permission, it was better to praise her for doing well.
“Smart move,” Yan Qing said, quite satisfied.
She had her own ways to deal with Su Jinxia and Bai Mei. After all, in her past life, they were the ones who had caused her miserable death, so they had to be dealt with by her personally. No one else was allowed to interfere!
Jiang Wangyan affectionately ruffled her hair. Her soft strands felt pleasant to the touch. “Shall I take you home?”
Yan Qing certainly wouldn’t refuse such a free and convenient offer.
She stuffed Tuo Tuo into Jiang Wangyan’s top-tier luxury car as well. Xiao Bei, who followed them into the vehicle, looked dazed.
She sat stiffly behind the top-tier actor…
as if her soul had left her body.
Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing?
One moment, they were pitiful souls with no ride, about to get drenched in the rain. The next moment, she had not only witnessed the top-tier actor flirting with her own artist…
but she was also sitting in his car!
