The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead - Chapter 138
The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 138, The Strategist Within the Tycoon Families
Wen Mu didn’t expect that just when he thought he and the female lead were predestined, the female lead would already be taken, and that was even Luan Qing Xiao!
In terms of family background, the Wen family is inferior to the Luan family. In terms of personal capability, he was still a reserve heir while Luan Qing Xiao already had inherited the family business for two years. Under her leadership, the Luan family has more than doubled.
Against Luan Qing Xiao, Wen Mu knew he had no chance. Therefore, he could only give up the 100 million in reality again and concentrate on enjoying life in the virtual world.
After Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen’er returned to the car with the groceries, they realized that they had bought too much and couldn’t finish it even within a week.
“The produce can’t be kept long, it’s too wasteful to let them rot.” Nie Zhen’er glanced at the green leafy vegetables in pity.
“Then just invite a few more people to come over and destroy them together.” Luan Qing Xiao took out her phone and sent a text, “Last time, I said in the group that I would invite Si Zheng and the others to come to our house for dinner. We can just take this opportunity to honor that promise.”
“Yes, yes.” Nie Zhen’er raised both her hands in agreement. “Since I bought a lot of western food ingredients, I can make steak and pasta tomorrow.”
Luan Qing Xiao sent an invitation to the group.
Entertainment Circle’s Broker (Luan Qing Xiao): Do you all have time tomorrow?
Entertainment Circle’s Film King (Yan Zhou Ming): Definitely
Entertainment Circle’s Song King (You Si Zheng): Qing Xiao, carry me!
Entertainment Circle’s Dance Queen (Qiu Xue Er): Canceling all the itinerary, we got time, we got time
Entertainment Circle’s Film Queen (Nie Zhen’er): Sincerely inviting everyone to come to my house for lunch. Tomorrow at 11:30 A.M., let’s meet up at the east gate of Shui Ye Ju Ting. Qing Xiao and I will pick you up there.
Entertainment Circle’s Song King (You Si Zheng): Huh? Zhen’er won’t arrive with us? Are you getting there early?
When Yan Zhou Ming saw this, he stared at the screen nervously.
How would Nie Zhen’er answer? Will she say she’s living with Luan Qing Xiao? Or would she directly reveal her relationship with Luan Qing Xiao?
Entertainment Circle’s Film Queen (Nie Zhen’er): Qing Xiao and I bought houses in Shui Ye Ju Ting on the same floor same building
Yan Zhou Ming was taken aback.
The truth was that simple?
Qiu Xue Er expressed her envy: Wow, the houses in Shui Ye Ju Ting are very expensive!
Immediately, Yan Zhou Ming remembered Nie Zhen’er’s family background wasn’t good, whereas she herself only acted in one film and accepted two endorsements. Where would she get the money to buy a house in Shui Ye Ju Ting?
So there is still a problem!
The next day, Yan Zhou Ming drove to Shui Ye Ju Ting and arrived at the east gate at exactly eleven thirty.
He texted “I’m here” to the group.
Just as he unfastened his seat belt, the car door was knocked.
Looking outside, four familiar faces were reflected on the glass.
Yan Zhou Ming couldn’t help laughing.
He then put on a mask and sunglasses before opening the car door and getting off.
“Big Brother Yan is simply too punctual.” Qiu Xue Er was wearing a long windbreaker, while on her face was the same as Yan Zhou Ming— — mask plus sunglasses.
Luan Qing Xiao said, “I’ve talked to the guard, you guys can just drive your cars inside the community, there are parking spaces inside.”
You Si Zheng came in Qiu Xue Er’s car. Luan Qing Xiao asked Nie Zhen’er to wait in a car of her choice as she walked to the guard and reported the license plates of the two cars. Then, she made her way back to the car Nie Zhen’er picked.
“Big Brother Yan must be bored by himself, so I’ll choose Big Brother Yan’s car.” Nie Zhen’er turned around.
Because Luan Qing Xiao was in Yan Zhou Ming’s car, You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er followed behind Yan Zhou Ming’s car.
Under Luan Qing Xiao’s navigation, Yan Zhou Ming entered the underground garage and parked the car at the designated position. Then, the few individuals got out of the car.
Glancing around, You Zhou Ming noticed the garage was filled with all sorts of luxury cars. From the side, You Si Zheng exclaimed, “There are way too many rich people here, the cars they’re driving are all the cars I want to buy.”
Luan Qing Xiao smiled and said nothing. But Nie Zhen’er explained, “Ummm, Si Zheng.”
You Si Zheng looked over, “What’s the matter?”
“These cars,” Nie Zhen’er waved her slender arm, “all belong to Qing Xiao.”
“???”
“???”
“???”
All three faces were dumbfounded.
Even though Yan Zhou Ming, who had already guessed Luan Qing Xiao’s identity, didn’t expect she would be this wealthy. Having more than a dozen luxury cars valuing up to tens of millions was simply inhumane!
“These are a small hobby of mine, most of which are given to me by my dad. Come on, let’s go to my house.”
The three people, who were shocked by these dozen luxury cars to ignorance, followed Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen’er. Only when they got onto the elevator, entered the house and sat down on the soft sofa with an extra cup of tea in their hands, did they gradually come back to their senses.
You Si Zheng gulped and asked Luan Qing Xiao, “Qing Xiao, how did you get so rich all of a sudden? Aren’t you Brother Luan’s cousin? How come you appear richer than Brother Luan?”
At least from the media reports, none of Luan Fei Yun’s luxury cars were more expensive than Luan Qing Xiao’s.
Luan Qing Xiao smiled, “I am this rich because my dad had set a good foundation.”
Qiu Xue Er didn’t understand, “What foundation did Uncle set well?”
Yan Zhou Ming suddenly spoke up, “I think I’ve guessed Qing Xiao’s identity.”
“What identity? Big Brother Yan, tell us what you think.” You Si Zheng urged anxiously.
Yan Zhou Ming looked at Luan Qing Xiao, “Am I allowed?”
Luan Qing Xiao shrugged, “Of course,” and then continued smiling, “I don’t think there is anything shameful about my identity. I didn’t say anything about it previously because I was afraid to scare you guys.”
Since Yan Zhou Ming was older and had seen more people in the entertainment circle, he naturally knew more things. Moreover, Luan Qing Xiao didn’t purposely try to conceal her identity from them, so she wasn’t surprised at all for him having guessed her identity.
Nie Zhen’er clenched her small fist and waited expectantly to see the surprised expressions of You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er.
“You all know about Hong Ye Film, right?” Yan Zhou Ming asked You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er.
The two nodded.
“Then, did you know Hong Ye Film belongs to Hong Ye Group?”
“Hong Ye Group? That super powerful and loaded Hong Ye Group?”
“I know! The chairman of Hong Ye Group married my goddess Ling Ya!” You Si Zheng stated excitedly.
“Luan Fei Yun is the general manager of Hong Ye Film and Qing Xiao is his cousin. Qing Xiao has more than a dozen luxury cars, while Luan Fei Yun doesn’t. Plus, Qing Xiao’s father had set a good foundation…” Looking at the faces of You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er were still perplexed, Yan Zhou Ming added, “I’ll add one more point. The chairman of Hong Ye Group also has the surname Luan.”
“Ah!” Qiu Xue Er stood up in excitement as she looked at Luan Qing Xiao in disbelief, covering her mouth with her hand before screaming.
You Si Zheng reacted a little slower, muttering, “The chairman of Hong Ye Group is surnamed Luan. Is it possible that Qing Xiao is Chairman Luan’s … daughter?!!!”
You Si Zheng sprang up and pointed at Luan Qing Xiao with wide eyes without speaking for a long time.
Qiu Xue Er and You Si Zheng’s faces had turned red because of them holding their breath and excitement. If you look closely, you can see that their legs were trembling.
This matter is simply too illusory to them!
Luan Qing Xiao! Although they recorded [Returning to the Garden] together for 20 days and could feel her leadership temperament, who would have thought her identity would be so fierce!
So fierce that it almost scared the hearts out of them!
Nie Zhen’er stood on the side and recorded the reactions of the two people with his phone while laughing.
Luan Qing Xiao said helplessly, “Do you two want to change professions to actors? You guys are overreacting.”
“Hehe, Qing Xiao actually saw through us.” You Si Zheng scratched his head and pulled Qiu Xue Er back on the sofa embarrassedly.
Qiu Xue Er was disappointed, “It seems that I don’t have the talent for acting. Qing Xiao can see through me with just one glance.”
What Luan Qing Xiao could see, how could the film queen Nie Zhen’er and the film king Yan Zhou Ming fail to see it? They just wanted to see what tricks You Si Zheng and Qiu Xue Er were pulling.
“However Qing Xiao, are you working at Hong Ye Group now? Isn’t Uncle training you to take over? Wouldn’t your family stop you from participating in [Returning to A Country Life]? I never thought that my goddess Ling Ya would be your mother. Qing Xiao! When will I be able to meet Goddess Ling Ya with my own eyes?”
Nie Zhen’er voiced, “Si Zheng, you have too many questions, how can you ask them all in one go?”
You Si Zheng responded, “I’m just so curious. Qing Xiao, did you remember all of that? I can repeat all of them again!”
Luan Qing Xiao waved her hand, “No need, I remember it all.”
“I’m currently working at Hong Ye Group. My dad isn’t currently training me to take over, because I have already taken over. My family didn’t stop me from participating in [Returning to the Garden] either. As for when you’ll be able to meet my mother… …”
Luan Qing Xiao deliberately kept him guessing, making You Si Zheng extremely anxious.
” Maybe this year.”
“Wait!” Before You Si Zheng could get excited, Qiu Xue Er suddenly raised her hand to interrupt.
Qiu Xue Er clasped her hands together and fixed her eyes on Luan Qing Xiao, carefully asking, “Qing Xiao, I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? What do you mean Uncle isn’t currently training you to take over now because you’ve already taken over?”
Luan Qing Xiao nodded, “Yup.”
“What does it mean to have taken over?” Qiu Xue Er’s voice became softer, as if she was afraid of scaring someone.
“To have inherited complete power from her father, so the actual power holder of the Hong Ye Group is Qing Xiao right now.” Yan Zhou Ming answered Qiu Xue Er for Luan Qing Xiao.
“Oh my God! I, I, I, I, I, I must be bursting with luck this year to have met such a bigshot. Ah ah ah ah, I really want to dance now!!!”
“I want to sing!!!” After hearing what Yan Zhou Ming said, You Si Zheng was equally excited and couldn’t help himself.
“I’ll bring you to the entertainment room, you can sing, dance or watch movies there.”
Luan Qing Xiao led Yan Zhou Ming them three to the entertainment room. After showing them how to use it, she returned to the living room to find Nie Zhen’er.
She and Nie Zhen’er still have to prepare lunch for them.
Of course, she was only responsible for assisting her. Nie Zhen’er was the true chef.
…
Luan Qing Xiao saying You Si Zheng being able to Ling Ya this year wasn’t just joking. Because Luan Ze’s health was almost raised back to normal abroad, the two elders suddenly began to worry about Luan Qing Xiao’s emotional life. Not only were they urging her on the phone, they also planned on coming back to nag her about finding her other half in person.
In November, Luan Ze and Ling Ya returned.
Since Nie Zhen’er had already entered the set and started filming 《The Legend of Ming Dynasty》, after Luan Qing Xiao picked up Luan Ze and Ling Ya from the airport, she went straight back to the old house, planning to stay with her parents for a few days.
On this day, when Luan Qing Xiao was about to head to the company, Luan Ze asked, “Aren’t you free today? Where are you going this early?”
Luan Qing Xiao knew that a veteran employee in the company must have betrayed her. Originally, she intended to visit Nie Zhen’er today.
“I suddenly remembered there are still a few important documents that I haven’t read, and planned to work overtime for a day.”
Luan Ze stood up, “No need, just tell me what documents, I’ll work overtime for you. Your task today is to accompany your mother to go shopping, get some beauty treatments and buy clothes.”
Luan Qing Xiao still tried to salvage the situation, “Dad, you haven’t worked in over two years. I’m afraid you won’t be able to adapt to the company’s environment.”
“Your dad, I, have been working for over 20 years. Do you think I will forget my 20 years of experience after only two years?”
At the appropriate timing, Ling Ya appeared with her heartbroken expression, “Does Xiao Xiao not want to go shopping with her mother? I know I’m getting old, nowadays young people don’t want to accompany their parents anymore. Luan Ze, don’t force Xiao Xiao anymore. If she wants to go to the company, let her go.”
Ling Ya was indeed worthy of being a professional actress. Her gestures and tone of voice all involuntarily reflected her sadness. Under this circumstance, Luan Qing Xiao can’t say anything to refuse her.
“Mom, I was wrong. You know that’s not what I meant. I will accompany you wherever you go today.”
“Dad, I can only trouble you to work for me today.”
Only now did Ling Ya break into a beam.
Luan Qing Xiao and Ling Ya set out at nine o’clock. They first went to the beauty salon for maintenance and then went to the mall to buy some clothes.
Ling Ya disliked Luan Qing Xiao wearing formal clothes without no feminine characteristics, so she picked out plenty of skirts for her. Before paying the bill, she asked her to change into her favorite one of the bunch and then nodded in satisfaction as she said to the attendant, “Please wrap up everything I picked just now and send it to xxx.”
Luan Qing Xiao let out a sigh of relief and felt that she could finally rest.
