Chapter 885: Threats and Blackmail

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She had thought that it was about herself, before she lost her memory. Therein started a hilarious life reversal. She went from a pitiful girl to becoming the number one female boss in the school.

Ke Ai’ai had a Prince Charming whom she liked. He was the school’s major top scholar. He was handsome, aloof, and ranked first in the cohort. His name was Le Yu, and he was the school hunk.

Before she had lost her memory, she had not dared to talk to others. After she lost her memory, she became the alpha female instantly. Her guts grew as well. Adhering to the principle that she wasn’t afraid of anyone as the school top dog, she started to tease the straight-A Prince Charming in various ways, and many ridiculous stories happened.

Later, when she had regained her memory and after she got together with her male idol, she found out that actually, her male idol had always liked her. The notebook had also been stuffed into her bag by her male idol. It was a happy ending! It was a relaxing and hilarious comedy. The key was that it matched the current audience’s preferences—sweet and loving!

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyin smiled lovingly. “It’s good to be young. Are you acting as Ke Ai’ai?”

Ling Sheng said, “This is Sister Mei’s mission for me. I have to act in it. In the first half of this year, I will be relying on this drama to get through. It’s just an online drama. I’ll film it in a month. It’s simple.”

Actually, it was not as simple as she had mentioned. The simpler a character was, the more difficult it was to portray it. The Ke Ai’ai she was going to act as was a high school student. Frankly, it was not difficult for her to act out the liveliness, adorableness and unpretentiousness of a high school student.

However, due to policy reasons, the two of them had not revealed their relationship in high school. It was considered an ambiguous period, and they had only officially gotten together in university.

“Then, who’s the male lead? Has it been confirmed?” Su Xiyin was very interested. As long as it was a role played by her obedient granddaughter, everything was good.

“Yes,” Ling Sheng nodded. “It’s Si Chengluo. He’s the little brother of our company. His temperament and looks match Le Yu’s.”

This drama was really a mission. The company had issued a mission to increase her exposure during her preparation for the college entrance examination in the first half of the year. They wanted her to create conversation so that she would not be forgotten.

Secondly, it was to increase Si Chengluo’s exposure. After all, the proportion of people who watched talent shows in China was only so small. He had to keep increasing his exposure level and raise his level of national recognition to maintain his popularity.

This drama was just a normal drama. Even if the filming didn’t stand out, it would not be a failure. It could make one laugh and smile knowingly. It also had a sweet romance that could hit a young girl’s heart. Even if it did not explode in popularity, there would definitely be many people watching the drama nevertheless.

Of course, Su Xiyin knew about Si Chengluo too. He was an artist signed by her son’s company. She had seen him before, so she nodded in agreement. “That child is quite aloof. He’s only 18 years old though, right? He’s so much younger than you. So it’s a romance between an older woman and a younger guy.”

Ling Sheng cupped her egg-shaped face and tilted her head to look at her grandma, blinking her big eyes. In a sweet and beautiful voice, she asked, “Grandma, Grandma, how old do you think I am?”

Su Xiyin was amused by her. Her dear granddaughter had a younger-looking face, so people would believe it even if she said she was an underage high school student. “You’re 18 years old, all right? You’ll always be 18.”

Ling Sheng hugged and kissed her in satisfaction. “Grandma, you too. You’re forever young and pretty forever.”

Su Xiyin shook her head lovingly, but she was also a little worried. “Last time, the media spread rumors about you and this child Si Chengluo. Will someone raise the issues again with the two of you filming together?”

Ling Sheng sighed and spread her hands open. “There’s nothing we can do about that. Grandma, there’s a kind of collaborative relationship now called a promotional period couple. Everyone knows what’s going on.”

Su Xiyin was still worried. However, how could there be no rumors in a place like the entertainment circle? No matter what she did, she would be watched by the media. She could only tell her to be more careful when they worked together.

“Grandma, why are you looking for me?” Ling Sheng did not want to chase her away but she wanted to continue reading the script!

This drama would be filmed in a hurry. It was said that it would start filming on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and it would only take one and a half months. It would be released somewhere in April or April.

Then, her college entrance examination would be in June. After the college entrance examination, the screening for “My Wife” would be released as well, so it would take over nicely. There would not be a blank period in between.

She herself knew that getting her to film a drama with Si Chengluo was for the sake of creating topics and hype. They were taking advantage of each other for popularity. This was the only thing in the entertainment circle, and everyone was well-aware of it.

“I would have forgotten if you hadn’t told me. We’ll go to your ancestor’s house tomorrow morning. Get Ah Yan to stay over for the night, lest he goes to the trouble of coming over early in the morning tomorrow.” Su Xiyin had come to talk to her about this.

There was no need to mention how much her father liked Ah Yan. He kept mentioning that he wanted to play chess with him every day and told her that she must bring him over during the holidays.

The moment Su Xiyin left, Ling Sheng called Jun Shiyan and asked him to come over at night. She emphasized that he had to come over before dinner. It was all Grandma’s fault.

It was still quite lively outside. Huo Pei and Huo Xuan’an insisted on finding someone to examine the scene. They could not let go of the evil person behind the scenes. The items had not been moved either.

The person who had come to investigate the scene was Zheng Guo, who was known as the number one national investigator. He took a professional tool and examined it carefully for more than half an hour. Then, he went over and replied, “Old Master Huo, there are no signs of man-made damage. The banister has been worn down by disrepair for a long time and is not sturdy anymore.”

Huo Ci raised his eyebrows coldly and looked at Huo Pei. “Fifth Brother, what else do you want to say?”

Huo Pei’s face darkened. All at once, his heart sank to the bottom because of his words. He was unwilling to believe it. “You didn’t check thoroughly. Was it really not man-made?”

Zheng Guo looked at him. “Ah Pei, how could I lie to you? It’s just that it has been neglected for a long time. The wood is all rotten. You know about wood too. Who knows when it will fail its usefulness? It’s due to years of pressure that caused its structure to be damaged. That’s why she fell.”

Huo Ci’s lips curled into a smile and he tilted his head lazily at Huo Pei, not giving him any face. “Kneel!”

Who cared that he was the older brother? They did not treat him as their younger brother anyway. Why should he give them face and treat them as his biological brothers?

This incident was only the beginning, not the end. He wanted them to know clearly what kind of mistake they had made. They could forget about living peacefully after offending him.

Ling Sheng had received Huo Xuanzhou’s message and ran out to watch the commotion. She stood on the second floor and did not go down. However, she did not have the habit of leaning against the railing. She liked to stand properly and watch ‘shows’. This was also the basic respect she had for the people putting on a show.

The results of the investigation were out, and the people at home had also appeared. Huo Xiao was sitting in the middle, and his expression was very ugly. After all, they were all his sons. How could an elder brother kneel down and apologize to his younger brother?!

Huo Pei did not move or speak. He only looked at the Old Master. His chest was heaving violently due to fury, and his face was ashen.

That was impossible. How could that be? Sixth Brother had obviously tampered with it. Exactly what kind of trick had he used that even Zheng Guo, the number one person in the National Search Department, could not find out?

Everyone was waiting for the Old Master to speak. However, Huo Ci’s phone rang. He only took a look and smiled. “I have something to attend to. I’ll be back soon. Father, think about it carefully first.”

Everyone was in the living room, except for Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi, who were standing on the second floor. Upon seeing Huo Ci leave, Huo Feifei’s fiancé, Prince Edward, alson followed him quietly while no one was paying attention.

Huo Xuanzhou had been paying attention as well. Upon seeing the duo leave, he swept a look and chased after them.

Ling Sheng frowned, not knowing why he had also followed them out. Her eyes were full of uncertainty as she carried Xiaoqi down. After handing Xiaoqi to Su Xiyin, she also followed them while he was not paying attention.

Huo Xuanzhou had already found out that Prince Edward was a swindler and even deliberately deceived Chinese girls who were studying abroad.

He used the title of a prince to specifically cheat people of their money and bodies. Those who had been deceived had been the lovesick idiots of families with some assets and those women who foolishly wanted to marry into the royal family.

However, Huo Xuanzhou had not told anyone else. He did not like Huo Feifei to begin with, and he also knew that her parents, his fourth aunt and uncle, must have started suspecting him too. If the victim’s own close relatives weren’t telling her, why would he care?

Ling Sheng had gone out late, so she could no longer see anyone. It was Huo Xuanzhou who tugged at her before they found the place. It was a small shed at home, where the gardeners’ tools were kept.

Edward looked at Huo Ci and negotiated, “Mr. Huo, I have a video of you damaging the railing. I don’t want much either. Just give me the few mines you bet on a wager with your older brother.. I promise I won’t leak the secret.”
