Chapter 422: Harmonious Family (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the next few days, the couple was busy at work. They left the house early and returned late. Xi Xiaye replaced Li Si as Mu Yuchen’s personal assistant for the whole week, so they were always together.

In contrast to their harmonious lives, the show business scene in City Z was not as peaceful.

First off, when Chenye Movies and Television was announced, many higher management staff from Yueying Culture Media Company moved over. All the major stakeholders shifted over to Chenye Movies and Television as well as some of the popular artistes under Glory World.

Many artistes under Caitlyn’s lead announced their joining Chenye Movies and Television and most of Yueying’s resources were brought over as well. Consequently, Yueying now faced a crisis. Their funds were siphoned empty and the ongoing big projects were halted. Needless to say, the downfall of Yueying shocked the whole industry!

Xi Xiaye had not paid much attention to the news lately, and she hardly followed the entertainment news. Because she fully immersed herself in her job, she only found out what happened to Yueying a week after it happened.

Mu Yuchen had been right beside her for the past few days, but he covered the news up from her. He did not want her to be affected by these negative news which was why he constantly kept her by his side.

In the evening, inside Mu Yuchen’s office at Glory World Corporation.

Mu Yuchen was standing beside the tall bookshelf as he was reading a book. The evening breeze blew past the half-opened window and lifted the curtains slightly.

Li Si stood before the office table and called out to him politely, “Master!”

His voice was soft as he was worried that he might be bothering Mu Yuchen. However, his timid voice was heard rather clearly in the quiet office.

Mu Yuchen raised his head from the book and glanced at him. Then, he flipped a page and asked, “How’s it going?”

“Master, the new company has now settled down. The filmings we arranged beforehand have now started rolling and there are two new movies under discussion. We’re planning to have a new artiste to become the female lead while Caitlyn is willing to be the female co-lead,” Li Si reported.

Mu Yuchen nodded. “Get Vice President Liu to take care of things over there now. When everything is on track, find someone to take over the management. Make sure to get this done before the end of next month.”

“Yes, no worries, Master!”

Li Si then continued, “By the way, Yueying… I don’t think they’ll be able to survive much longer. All of their partners have left. If they still can’t solve their funding issue, then they’ll need to declare bankruptcy. Deng Wenwen came here several times saying that she wants to meet Missus, but the guards stopped her and said both you and Missus have gone abroad.”

“Did Qi Kai do anything?” Mu Yuchen closed the book and put it back on the shelf before he walked toward the large window and looked out at the vast evening sky outside. His expression was calm.

“They don’t seem to have taken any actions yet, Master. The newspapers are saying that Missus is taking revenge and destroying Yueying without any consideration. Should we do something about this news?” Li Si looked at Mu Yuchen hesitantly. “They said something along the lines of ‘daughters from different mothers act against each other’. I’m worried that it will affect you and Missus. Also, I heard Elder Yue went to complain to Mayor Xi, so…”

“Daughters from different mothers act against each other?” Mu Yuchen mumbled to himself as a cold smile appeared on his face. “What else can the media do aside from degrading others?”

He never had a good impression of the media and entertainment industry, especially regarding his aunt, Mu Zi. Li Si knew about this very well, so he did not say anything else.

“So, what should we do now?” Li Si asked for further instructions.

“It’s time to release the news about Yue Lingsi.” Mu Yuchen sat down on his chair and pinched between his eyebrows tiredly. “The Yue family has been getting on my nerves lately. Vice President Zhang Lan went over to Qi Kai for business yesterday and the second brother from the Yue family gave her some trouble. I’m very upset with that.”

“Qi Qiming already thinks of us as a threat. If it weren’t for the Elder Chairman’s orders to avoid conflict, I’m sure there’d already be chaos by now. Please be careful, Master.” Li Si looked at Mu Yuchen with concern.

Mu Yuchen did not reply, so Li Si went on after a short pause, “Master, Lawyer Wang has announced Elder Xi’s will to Deng Wenwen and the others a few days ago. I heard Deng Wenwen got so angry that her blood pressure skyrocketed up and she was sent to the hospital. I guess she’ll keep coming to see Missus.”

“Let her be. If she comes, ask the security guards to send her away. Also, get someone to keep an eye on Qi Kai,” Mu Yuchen said coldly.

“Yes, Master! By the way, should we let Missus know about Chenye Movies and Television? Things are already settled on this end. Yesterday, Caitlyn said she wanted to congratulate Missus, but I stopped her. The popularity of our news is on the rise, so it’s just a matter of time before Missus finds out…”

Before Li Si could finish, Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing. He looked to see that it was Shen Wenna!

Mu Yuchen frowned and quickly answered the call.

…

Xi Xiaye never expected to bump into Deng Wenwen in Hospital T.

She had taken some time off to accompany Shen Wenna for her checkup at the hospital. Unexpectedly, just as she helped Shen Wenna into the car, she heard Deng Wenwen calling out to her from behind.

Inside a coffee shop near Hospital T.

Xi Xiaye and Deng Wenwen sat opposite each other. The waiter soon served the coffee they ordered.

Deng Wenwen looked exhausted and her appearance seemed as if she was almost a decade older. She was watching Xi Xiaye flip through the newspapers and magazines with a complicated expression on her face.

After reading through the news, Xi Xiaye was surprised at first, but towards the end, she stopped revealing her emotions and calmed herself down.

She put the newspapers and magazines down and looked at Deng Wenwen with a cold smile. Then, she gave Deng Wenwen the newspapers and magazines back. “So? You’re just here today to show me this news? I didn’t know it caused such a big ruckus, but this is really amazing news to me.”
