Chapter 356: Sister-in-law, Save Me

Zheng Yun and the other children who had grown up in the heart of power had been protected by all sorts of bodyguards since they were young. After all, their lives were extremely important.

When the red light shone on Zheng Yun’s forehead, many hidden guards appeared from around the villa. All of them had guns on them and surrounded Zheng Yun warily.

However, the red dot on Zheng Yun’s forehead was like a time bomb. No one knew when the other party would shoot, so the people around Zheng Yun did not dare to act rashly.

You?” Zheng Yun was surprised and uncertain. This couldn’t be a setup, right? A small celebrity was used to bait me. One had to know that the villa he lived in was strictly protected. How did the people Xia Wanyuan had brought unknowingly get into this place?! What kind of power was behind her?!

“How much money do you want? I’ll give it to you. Ask your people to withdraw.” Zheng Yun did not know anything about Xia Wanyuan, so he was even more flustered. He had nothing else to ask for now. No matter how much money was spent, it was enough as long as he could keep his life.

Jun Shiling had told Xia Wanyuan that he had sent some people to secretly protect her.

Hence, after realizing that something was wrong with Li Fei, Xia Wanyuan got into the car without worry and pretended to be asleep.

However, she did not expect that the people Jun Shiling had assigned to protect her were all armed. She had seen that red dot on television before. It should be an infrared target.

Xia Wanyuan did not know where the guards were either. She waved her hand tentatively, and the red light on Zheng Yun’s forehead shifted to his shoulder.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to leave directly, but she felt that she couldn’t be set up for nothing. She suddenly had a thought.

“Transfer ten million dollars to this fund and I’ll let you go.” Xia Wanyuan threw a flyer into Zheng Yun’s arms. This was what she had received from the person who was distributing flyers at the entrance of Baili Mall.

Zheng Yun took it and looked at it. The words “Hope Engineering Education Education Fund” stunned him. “Are you sure you’ll let me go if I transfer ten million dollars into this?”

“Yes, transfer it.” Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

Zheng Yun called the bank skeptically. He was a Supreme VIP, so the bank was very efficient. Not long after, the message that the transfer was successful returned.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Zheng Yun transferring ten million dollars without blinking and suddenly regretted it. There were really many rich people in Beijing. If she had known, she would have asked for more.

Zheng Yun showed the information about the successful transfer to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan raised her hand, and the red dot that was aimed at Zheng Yun disappeared.

Seeing that the aim on his body had disappeared, Zheng Yun hurriedly hid behind the bodyguards. After confirming that he was not in danger, he gave the bodyguards a look, signaling them to keep Xia Wanyuan.

Just as the guards were about to make a move, countless red dots appeared out of nowhere. Every one of them was aiming at the corresponding person. The guards’ hearts trembled and they did not dare to act rashly.

“Send me back.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the chauffeur who had brought her here.

]Zheng Yun was already frightened. In Beijing, how dare someone be so arrogant in front of the Zheng family?! And she actually controlled this place without anyone knowing! He nodded at the chauffeur and agreed to let the chauffeur send her back.

Xia Wanyuan got into the car. Zheng Yun watched in trepidation as the car gradually drove away from the villa. The infrared light spots that fell on them gradually disappeared.

“Go and investigate!!” Zheng Yun hid in the house and raged at his subordinate.

——

With a call from Xia Wanyuan, she terminated the cooperation meeting between Tang Yin and the rest. After returning from Lin Xi City, Xia Wanyuan had always wanted to go to the company and settle the Moon Bay project.

Xia Wanyuan had just driven off when an unfamiliar number called. Xia Wanyuan picked it up. It was actually Bo Xiao.

“Sister-in-law, save me!!”

Chapter 357: Jun Shiling’s Malice

“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

“Sister-in-law, come over quickly. He’s at 89 Li Xin Road. I can’t persuade him.” Bo Xiao seemed to be very anxious.

“What happened?” Xia Wanyuan asked, but Bo Xiao hung up the phone.

….

Xia Wanyuan could only call Shen Qian and change the meeting time. Then she drove to the address Bo Xiao had given her.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of a very strict building in the suburbs. A tight iron fence surrounded the entire building.

Xia Wanyuan saw the car Jun Shiling had taken in the morning and was parked in the courtyard. The people Bo Xiao had left behind saw Xia Wanyuan coming and brought her in.

——

“Jun Shiling, what do you mean?” Zheng Yun looked at Jun Shiling, who was standing in front of him like an Asura, with fear in his eyes.

After Xia Wanyuan left, before he could get someone to investigate Xia Wanyuan, a group of people suddenly barged in and took him away.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already brought to this prison-like place and Jun Shiling, who looked like an Asura.

“Jun Shiling, let me tell you. If you dare to touch a single hair of mine, my father will definitely not let you off!”

“Zheng family?” Jun Shiling looked at Zheng Yun with cold eyes. “You should be glad that she’s fine. Otherwise, your entire Zheng family would have to die with her.”

Outside the door, Xia Wanyuan was led through layers of checkpoints.

“Sister-in-law, you’re finally here.” Bo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Wanyuan walk over.

“What happened?” Xia Wanyuan stepped forward.

“It’s about the Zheng family. Sister-in-law, Zheng Yun can’t be touched for the time being. Persuade Jun Shiling.”

Bo Xiao had just returned from the northwest and had just gotten off the airport when he rushed over.

After Xia Wanyuan left the Zheng family’s territory safely, the guards reported the matter to Jun Shiling as usual.

Jun Shiling had only instructed him to lock Zheng Yun in, but who would have thought that the guards would find a large number of tools and drugs that Zheng Yun usually used to play with women in his room?

Even the experienced Bo Xiao felt that Zheng Yun was too filthy. He was simply prepared to play Xia Wanyuan to death.

The guards were extremely loyal to Jun Shiling, so they directly delivered a pile of photos to him. Jun Shiling was really angry now and went to Prison Seven himself. Lin Jing could not stop him even if he wanted to.

Bo Xiao also felt that Zheng Yun deserved to die, but that brat was from the Zheng family after all. Bo Xiao was afraid that Jun Shiling would kill him on impulse. There were many things happening in Beijing now. If this matter blew up, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.

Bo Xiao pointed at the innermost room and Xia Wanyuan slowly walked over.

When she pushed open the door, she saw Jun Shiling standing in front of Zheng Yun in the dark room. He had a dark and murderous aura that she had never seen before.

A foot stepped on Zheng Yun’s arm. Zheng Yun was lying on the ground and crying out in pain.

Hearing the door open, Jun Shiling turned around. The moment he saw Xia Wanyuan, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, and he hid his left hand.

However, Xia Wanyuan had long seen that Jun Shiling was holding a small gun in his left hand.

“Why are you here?” The anger in Jun Shiling’s eyes had yet to dissipate. He smiled at Xia Wanyuan, then let go of Zheng Yun’s foot and stuffed the gun into his sleeve before walking towards Xia Wanyuan.

Jun Shiling’s heart sank for a moment. He had never wanted Xia Wanyuan to see his other self because he was afraid that Xia Wanyuan would think that he was not open enough, yet he saw her now.

Xia Wanyuan did not speak and went out the door. Jun Shiling hurriedly followed.

Chapter 358: Yuan Wanxia Sends the Painting Again

Xia Wanyuan did not speak, and Jun Shiling walked beside her without saying a word. Their footsteps echoed in the long corridor, and Jun Shiling’s heart grew heavier.

“I…” Jun Shiling was about to explain to Xia Wanyuan when he felt a jade-like hand holding his.

Jun Shiling subconsciously clenched his fists. He turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan’s cold side profile.

“Do you think I’m very scary?” Jun Shiling asked carefully.

The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up as she looked at Jun Shiling. “No, you’re very good.”

She was not an innocent young lady. She knew that pure light could not reach Jun Shiling’s current position.

It was just like the politics she had experienced in her previous life. Under the brilliance, there were countless political treacherousities, countless open plots, and hidden schemes. Behind the final avenue of flowers, there was an unknown number of mountains of corpses and seas of bones.

She was not so timid that she would deny this person just because she saw Jun Shiling’s dark side.

No matter how much darkness was around Jun Shiling, she knew that he was holding up a light.

Seeing the calmness in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Jun Shiling’s heart warmed and he pulled her into his arms.

Behind Xia Wanyuan, who could not see, Jun Shiling’s eyes flashed with a dark light.

Xia Wanyuan was so nice. Thinking of how Zheng Yun actually wanted to treat her in that way, Jun Shiling’s heart could not help but be filled with intense darkness.

He would not allow anyone to defile Xia Wanyuan, not even the slightest bit.

Xia Wanyuan reached out and patted Jun Shiling’s back comfortingly. “I’ve already punished him. Don’t be too angry, okay?”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling’s gloomy voice came. “Why are there always so many people coveting you?”

Xia Wanyuan laughed. “Aren’t you here? I’ll be fine.”

If Xia Wanyuan had not come just now, Jun Shiling would have really had extreme thoughts. However, after Xia Wanyuan’s few words of comfort, Jun Shiling finally decided to spare Zheng Yun’s life and only placed him under house arrest in Prison Seven.

“I’ll send you back.”

“Okay.”

From afar, Bo Xiao saw Jun Shiling accompanying Xia Wanyuan with a gentle expression. He knew that with Xia Wanyuan taking action, this matter would be settled.

Jun Shiling looked up and glanced at Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao’s heart turned cold and he forced an ugly smile.

Oh my god, will my Brother not kill Zheng Yun but instead silence me? Bo Xiao looked at Xia Wanyuan pleadingly.

Xia Wanyuan’s little finger hooked on Jun Shiling’s palm. When he met Xia Wanyuan’s smiling eyes, the agitation in Jun Shiling’s heart was calmed.

Bo Xiao watched helplessly as Jun Shiling was pacified by an angry tiger. His admiration for Xia Wanyuan was indescribable.

Tsk, tsk. What does it mean by tempered steel becomes soft? This is it!

Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s expression now, it was as if he was looking at a life-saving talisman. If he provoked Jun Shiling in the future, he would definitely be able to hide from Xia Wanyuan.

——

After returning to the manor, Jun Shiling was still a little worried that his actions just now would make Xia Wanyuan feel conflicted. He was even gentler and more considerate than before. He wished he could not even let Xia Wanyuan walk by herself.

Xia Wanyuan wanted to get up and move around, but Jun Shiling stopped her. “What do you want to take? I’ll help you.”

Xia Wanyuan wanted to laugh. How could she not tell that Jun Shiling was feeling uneasy? She waved at Jun Shiling, and he leaned closer.

“CEO Jun, you underestimate me.” Xia Wanyuan wrapped her arms around Jun Shiling’s neck. “What I like is you. It won’t change because of anything else, so you don’t have to worry so much.”

After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Jun Shiling raised his hand and hugged her tighter. “Repeat the 1236 words you said just now.”

Xia Wanyuan was stunned.

1236?

I like you?

Xia Wanyuan’s face flushed red. She had only wanted to comfort Jun Shiling and had said it in a moment of desperation. She had not thought so much.

“I’m going to draw,” Xia Wanyuan said, about to push Jun Shiling away.

However, Jun Shiling turned around and pressed her down on the sofa. “Be good. Say it once and I’ll let you go up.”

At that moment, the two of them were very close. Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the joy in Jun Shiling’s eyes and the stubborn anger that had not completely subsided.

Xia Wanyuan herself felt that it was incredible. How could Jun Shiling like her so much? She could feel that tangible love surrounding her.

Although Jun Shiling often said that he loved her, Xia Wanyuan was still a little shy. She had never even said that she liked him, but now, looking at the yearning in Jun Shiling’s eyes,

Xia Wanyuan thought to herself*, It’s just a few words. If it can make him happy, what can’t I say?*

“I said, I like you,” Xia Wanyuan looked into Jun Shiling’s eyes and said softly.

Then, she could clearly feel Jun Shiling’s heart racing.

“I like you too.” Jun Shiling’s eyes were shockingly bright. He lowered his head and exchanged a gentle kiss with Xia Wanyuan.

At the entrance not far away, Uncle Wang wanted to bring people in to clean up the place. When he saw the two people on the sofa, his old face flushed.

“Come back later. Leave first.”

Why didn’t I see that my young master was so passionate since he was young? Damn, young people are still so hot-tempered in the middle of the day.

——

Those words were too lethal to Jun Shiling. After hugging and kissing her on the sofa, he still felt that it was not enough. He coaxed Xia Wanyuan into the bedroom and drank the meat soup again.

“I don’t believe you anymore.” Xia Wanyuan glared at Jun Shiling coquettishly.

This man had always said that five minutes was enough. Five minutes was enough. In the end, no matter how many five minutes passed, he still was not done.

“I’ll pack up and go to the company. Go and draw.” After eating and drinking his fill, Jun Shiling kissed Xia Wanyuan’s cheek in satisfaction. “Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll bring it back for you.”

“Hmph.” Xia Wanyuan snorted softly and got off the bed with red ears. Jun Shiling smiled like a satisfied tiger behind her.

——

After Yuan Wanxia posted the painting of the Heavenly Spirit Princess the previous time, she had disappeared. Everyone was calling out to Yuan Wanxia on Weibo hoping that she could post some more works to let everyone see.

It was time to routinely urge them to draw again today. Everyone clicked on Yuan Wanxia’s Weibo to take a look and was surprised to find that Yuan Wanxia had actually posted a new post!

This time, Yuan Wanxia posted two posts. One of them was a teaching video of a conventional painting of the mountains and rivers. Everyone could not help but praise it. It was indeed the work of a master!

The other dynamic was a modern hand-drawn painting that Xia Wanyuan had practiced.

This time, it was not the Heavenly Spirit Princess, but a woman from the Republic of China who was wearing a cheongsam and walking in the smoke.

Chapter 359: The Princess Enters the Group, Mu Feng’s Manipulation

Recently, Xia Wanyuan had been idling at home. Not only had she reviewed the script’s lines, but she had also found the original “Moon As Frost” and read it once.

She felt that Yang Jiu’s novel was indeed not bad. As she read, she had the thought of painting.

This painting was the role of Qin Manyue that she had understood herself.

The woman in the gorgeous cheongsam had a haughty expression and her eyes were filled with confusion and intoxication. Behind her was the flames of war that filled the entire sky. The people beside her running or escaping seemed to have nothing to do with this person.

Most people did not pay attention to the filming situation of “Moon As Frost”. Hence, when everyone praised the painting for being beautiful, there were also people who were curious about who the painting was.

[ The last time, I could comfort myself by saying that it was a coincidence. This time, I can’t comfort myself anymore. Master is probably really a fan of Xia Wanyuan, right? ]

[ This is the role of the female lead in Xia Wanyuan’s new drama “Moon As Frost”. ]

[ Let’s talk about it. Master’s paintings are so beautiful no matter what. Of course, Xia Wanyuan is also good-looking. ]

[ What charm does Xia Wanyuan have? I heard that the crown prince of Glory World Corporation is also a fan of hers. She’s amazing too. ]

Yuan Wanxia’s painting was beautiful. Even people who did not know Xia Wanyuan knew about the drama “Moon As Frost” because of this painting.

Hence, the production team of “Moon As Frost” had just started filming. Before they could even find a publicity team, they had already become famous with Yuan Wanxia’s painting.

Overseas’ Wansia _ Yuan ‘account also updated the painting, causing netizens to be curious and looking forward to “Moon As Frost”.

——

The topic of Xia Wanyuan being unprofessional and not joining the production team on time had been continuing online. However, the memories of people on the Internet were always relatively short. Soon, their anger was led away by new things.

At this moment, Wan Shi Studio finally sent a clarification statement.

Wan Shi Studio: “Thank you very much for everyone’s attention to Xia Wanyuan all this time. Regarding the recent rumors online that Xia Wanyuan did not enter the production team on time and acted like a big shot, we will clarify here. Because Xia Wanyuan’s leg is injured, she could not enter the production team in time to film. She has already informed the production team in advance and adjusted her scenes, guaranteeing that it will not affect the production team’s progress. Recently, her injuries have improved, and she will enter the production team as soon as possible. Thank you for everyone’s support and love.”

The accompanying picture was a medical report from the hospital and a wound that could be seen even with mosaic.

[ Hiss, it looks so painful. ]

[ My heart aches. That’s why everyone shouldn’t keep following the trend and scolding people. Her leg is already so injured, yet she’s not allowed to take leave. ]

[ You should rest for a few more days since you’re so injured. It takes a hundred days to heal your bones and muscles… What did you do? Why are you in this state? ]

Although there were still many comments that felt that Xia Wanyuan’s injury was a burden on the production team’s progress, most people were still shocked by this extremely terrifying wound. Their criticism of Xia Wanyuan was not as severe as before.

The production team of “Moon As Frost” had also seen Wan Shi Studio’s Weibo. They had thought that Xia Wanyuan would take two to three months to come to the production team to film after taking a leave. Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan would appear on the production team the next day?

“Xiao Xia, are you okay?” Li Heng looked at Xia Wanyuan worriedly.

“It’s nothing. We can film intense fighting scenes later. As long as we don’t film them now, there won’t be a problem.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll arrange it immediately.” It was also a good thing for the production team that Xia Wanyuan could start filming early. Li Heng immediately got someone to prepare the costumes and props.

“Are you okay?” Yan Ci walked towards Xia Wanyuan. He had just finished filming a scene. He was wearing a black windbreaker and a hat, looking a little like an elite young master from Shanghai Beach.

“I’m almost recovered. Thank you for your concern.” In the original owner’s memory, she had once had a scandal with Yan Ci. Furthermore, it was the original owner of the body who had unilaterally given herself to him. Xia Wanyuan felt a little awkward, so she tried not to have any private contact with Yan Ci and her attitude was more distant.

“You’re welcome.” Yan Ci sensed Xia Wanyuan’s alienation and rubbed his nose helplessly. Am I that annoying?

The reason why the country films in recent years had made people especially disgusted was that the makeup and clothes were especially modern. Although they were under the guise of the country films, they did not restore the flourishing beauty of that era.

This time, when filming “Moon As Frost”, Li Heng specially hired a professional stylist team to restore the most realistic era.

However, Xia Wanyuan’s style was not something these people could design.

Not long after Xia Wanyuan arrived, the loud roar of a sports car sounded at the entrance of the production team. A silver-haired Mu Feng walked towards the production team with a hangover.

The stylists, who were originally unhappy that Xia Wanyuan did not allow them to put on makeup, saw Mu Feng walk beside Xia Wanyuan and gave up their dissatisfaction.

“Morning.” Mu Feng waved at Xia Wanyuan and yawned.

“Morning.”

Mu Feng looked sleepy, but when it was time to pick up the makeup brush, his face was filled with professionalism and seriousness. Not long after, the first scene that Mu Feng had personally edited was completed.

“Okay, Xiao Xia, we’re ready for the first scene after your makeup is done.”

Just as Li Heng finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan walked out. Instantly, the production team fell silent.

Chapter 360: World Music Competition Participation

Initially, Qin Manyue’s character profile was that of the rich lady of Shanghai Beach. She was extremely pampered and was the most famous red rose in the Shanghai celebrity circle.

Her first appearance was at a gathering.

At that moment, Qin Manyue was still an arrogant and noble young missy. Mu Feng’s makeup skills were extremely natural, retaining some of Xia Wanyuan’s original elegance. At the right time, her face shape shrank slightly, bringing with it a hint of cuteness.

The red evening gown made her skin look like white jade. As she walked, she had the arrogance and elegance of the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

They were clearly surrounded by people in modern attire, but when Xia Wanyuan stood there, she made people feel as if she was a beauty who had walked out of a painting.

As the producer, Yang Jiu wanted to clap the table and exclaim in admiration on the spot. This was how he felt about Qin Manyue when he was writing the essay. Xia Wanyuan was even more perfect than he had imagined.

“Okay, let’s start filming. Get ready.” Li Heng was also very satisfied with Xia Wanyuan’s appearance, so he immediately got the production team to prepare for filming.

A melodious music sounded and the extras were in position. Amidst the music, Qin Manyue gradually approached the hall. The camera kept moving forward and backward, taking in every angle of Xia Wanyuan.

After training in “The Long Ballad”, Xia Wanyuan was still very sensitive to the camera. Li Heng had simply found endless inspiration from Xia Wanyuan and filmed with her for the entire day. The sky was almost dark. If not for Xia Wanyuan’s health, Li Heng would have joined the night shift to continue filming.

Yan Ci had already finished filming his scenes, but he did not leave.

He could be considered a person who had become famous at a young age and was very talented in acting, but after he watched Xia Wanyuan’s performance, he felt that Xia Wanyuan’s future achievements would definitely not be inferior to his.

It was already dark. When Xia Wanyuan left the base, Jun Shiling’s car was waiting at the entrance. Xia Wanyuan got into the car. In a corner not far away, the paparazzi, who had been squatting for a day, finally saw a topic of conversation. The sound of the shutter kept pressing.

“Is your leg okay?” Jun Shiling handed the warm water to Xia Wanyuan.

“It’s not a big problem.” After filming for a day, other than wearing high heels in the distant scenes that had to be filmed, she had always worn flat shoes directly. After a day, she did not feel tired.

“Let me massage it for you,” Jun Shiling said as he placed Xia Wanyuan horizontally on his lap and seriously massaged her injured joint. Xia Wanyuan drank the water and looked at Jun Shiling quietly.

In fact, what Xia Wanyuan had never told Jun Shiling was that Jun Shiling looked especially charming when he was serious.

]Just like now, the way Jun Shiling massaged her legs without any distractions made Xia Wanyuan’s heart skip a beat.

Xia Wanyuan put the water bottle aside and leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms, hugging his waist.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiling paused and said with a smile.

“Nothing. I just want to hug.”

“Okay.” Jun Shiling’s eyes were filled with love as he wrapped Xia Wanyuan in his arms.

The two of them did not speak anymore and just stood there quietly. However, both of them felt extremely peaceful.

——

Xia Wanyuan had been too busy recently. It was only when Cai Qin called that Xia Wanyuan recalled that she had forgotten something important.

That was the World Music Competition at the beginning of June.

The preliminary round’s selection was online. Xia Wanyuan only played a song and handed it to Cai Qin. The specific registration details were handled by Cai Qin.

As expected, Xia Wanyuan’s song entered the semi-finals. This meant that Xia Wanyuan had to go to Continent O to participate in the competition.
