Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 58

Chi Gu Yuan and Tang Si Li  immediately sent the criminals to the police station overnight to face legal punishment.

There were two criminals in total.

One, surnamed Zhang, was a reporter from Watermelon Station. Her key characteristic was being stubbornly defiant, the kind that couldn’t be pried open with a wrench.

The police officers had seen every kind of scum, from murderers to street pickpockets. Dealing with her was easy work.

They conducted continuous, rotating overnight interrogations, starting under the bright moon and continuing until the rooster crowed the next morning.

This successfully earned Reporter Zhang two large, round dark circles under her eyes.

Reporter Zhang was both tired and hungry. Under sustained mental torment, she broke down in tears and confessed everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

She claimed that she usually had a good relationship with the famous manager Mei Kai Xuan. He often supplied her with top-tier insider secrets from the industry or exclusive scoops about A-list artists like Xiao Li Li.

Just two days ago, he had slipped her a large sum of money, asking her to find a way to sneak into the Half-Mountain Villa’s swimming pool party, specifically mentioning that Yao Xiang Yi, the CEO of Jing Hong Entertainment, would be “rolling in the sheets” with her little lover.

So, she had intended to secretly film in Yao Xiang Yi’s bedroom. Fearing discovery, she had a last-minute idea to hide the camera inside the green radish plant on the balcony.

However, when the police officers reviewed the videos on the camera to search for clues, they found Bai Meng Zhao’s intense reaction suggested she was drugged. They also saw the woman who escorted her into Yao Xiang Yi’s bedroom—an artist under Mei Kai Xuan, surnamed Song.

The police officers immediately took action and arrested Ms. Song, who was nervously pacing at home, bringing her in for questioning.

She was clearly not as stubborn as Reporter Zhang. After only two questions, she confessed everything in detail.

She said her primary task was to drug Bai Meng Zhao.

She and Reporter Zhang had clear divisions of labour, and they were doing all this strictly under Mei Kai Xuan’s instructions.

The confessions of the two criminals both pointed to the same person.

However, this person acted strangely and possessed a devious mind, having prepared his escape route long ago.

When he was invited to the police station for a talk, he was completely calm, stating he would not say a single word until his lawyer arrived.

The police officers wanted to kick the fat bastard away.

When the lawyer arrived, it was even more infuriating. He delivered the three soul-piercing questions:

“Two women said something casually; does that make my client, Mr. Mei, the mastermind?”

“Everything requires evidence. Besides witness testimony, where is the physical evidence?”

“Even if we take a step back and assume there’s no physical evidence, is the witness testimony strong enough?”

The police officers wanted to kick the lawyer away, too.

He was indeed a star lawyer, having thoroughly mastered the essence of “hearsay is not evidence.”

Thus, Mei Kai Xuan successfully escaped prosecution.

When the matter reached Tian Ji Film and Television, there was an uproar. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ji Ping Han promptly sealed off the information, forbidding anyone from discussing the matter further.

She finished a five-hour video conference in her study, closed her laptop, and immediately felt completely drained.

Her steps unsteady, she walked towards the sofa and collapsed onto it, exhausted.

The maid brought in a small bowl of freshly brewed Chinese herbal medicine. It was steaming hot, and the entire study was filled with the bitter aroma.

Ji Ping Han was familiar with the scent and equally disgusted by it. She held her breath and drank the medicine in one gulp.

“Does Miss want a piece of candy?” the maid asked.

Ji Ping Han lay back, lifting her wrist: “No need.”

She was long past the age of needing candy after drinking medicine.

The maid had no choice but to leave with the empty bowl, taking care to lighten her footsteps so as not to disturb her rest.

Ji Ping Han took a short nap, then picked up her phone to instruct her secretary to investigate Mei Kai Xuan and to visit Bai Meng Zhao on her behalf.

💼 Jing Hong Entertainment

Chi Gu Yuan copied the video from the camera and sent it to Yao Xiang Yi.

With the video, Yao Xiang Yi was determined to sign Bai Meng Zhao. She immediately forwarded it to Su Ti La’s email, asking Su Ti La to come to the CEO’s office to hear the full story of the video.

After listening, Su Ti La understood why Qiu Qing Shi asked her to take extra care of Bai Meng Zhao—the girl was truly… pitiful.

Yao Xiang Yi looked up from her documents and asked, “Did the Madam talk to you about this?”

“She only mentioned signing Bai Meng Zhao, not the video,” Su Ti La answered without hesitation, then added, “She also… she also said you were going to give her Jing Hong Entertainment.”

Yao Xiang Yi pushed aside the folder, looking for a red signature pen in the pencil holder, and said casually, “That’s right.”

“The Madam… also said she wanted to give me shares.”

Yao Xiang Yi’s hand paused in its search for the pen. She looked up, a hint of confusion in her eyes: “She’s giving you shares?”

Su Ti La was terrified of Yao Xiang Yi; she had been since the first day they met, and that hadn’t improved over time.

She didn’t look like the decisive Iron Lady in front of Yao Xiang Yi. She hooked her two pinky fingers together and asked timidly, “CEO Yao, is… is that allowed?”

“No,” Yao Xiang Yi replied.

Su Ti La: Wuwuwu, my dream is shattered, my heart is broken.

“However, the Madam can do whatever she wants. Since she wants to give them to you, then take them.”

Su Ti La came back to life: “Really!?”

Yao Xiang Yi laid out her condition: “But you must sign Bai Meng Zhao.”

Su Ti La stood up straight and said forcefully, “I will absolutely not let you down!”

“That’s the first thing,” Yao Xiang Yi braced her hands on the desk and motioned to her with a finger, her eyes slightly narrowing then relaxing, revealing her merchant nature.

Su Ti La blinked and cautiously approached: “CEO Yao?”

Yao Xiang Yi spoke slowly, word by word: “The second thing is to make Bai Meng Zhao one of the regular guests on ‘Mother-in-Law Is Here’ and secure her an audition for Director Zhou Meng De’s film, ‘The Escort’ (BiaoRen).”

Su Ti La: “!!!!”

It’s confirmed! It absolutely is!

Bai Meng Zhao must be Yao Xiang Yi’s secret lover outside, otherwise, why would she promote her so heavily!

A phenomenon-level variety show and a major new film by a renowned director—Mama, this was the pace for creating a second Qiu Qing Shi!

Su Ti La opened her mouth, unable to say anything for a long time.

Yao Xiang Yi raised one eyebrow higher than the other, a mischievous smile in her eyes: “Can you do it?”

Su Ti La’s smile dropped: “N-No.”

A gentleman loves money, but earns it ethically. She had worked with Qiu Qing Shi for eight years; they were colleagues, and more importantly, friends.

She also had her principles and couldn’t sell out a friend for money.

The entertainment industry was fleeting, and those who fell into it and suffered consequences did so either because of lust or money.

She loved money, but she had a heart.

Yao Xiang Yi, the dominant CEO, didn’t tolerate insubordination, especially in the company. Her face showed displeasure: “No?”

“Yes, no,” Su Ti La’s courage grew after she made her decision. She straightened her back and met Yao Xiang Yi’s gaze honestly.

“You don’t want the Jing Hong shares anymore?”

“I don’t.”

Yao Xiang Yi had grown up with Old Mr. Yao in the old mansion. Under his subtle influence, she had developed the sound value system of “man dies for wealth, birds die for food.”

Su Ti La saying she didn’t want the Jing Hong shares was truly unexpected.

What was even more unexpected was yet to come—

🌙 Night Confession

Su Ti La went home that night… and couldn’t sleep.

She tossed and turned in bed like a pancake on a griddle. After much deliberation, she decided to warn Qiu Qing Shi.

She opened WeChat and sent a voice message: [CEO Yao might be promoting Bai Meng Zhao. As far as I know, she plans to arrange for Bai Meng Zhao to be a regular guest on ‘Mother-in-Law Is Here’ and also arrange an audition for the film ‘The Escort.’ Are you sure… CEO Yao only sees her as a little sister?]

At that moment, Qiu Qing Shi and Yao Xiang Yi were making love.

Qiu Qing Shi’s foot arches flexed. Her sweat-drenched body trembled and then fell back heavily onto the pillow in exhaustion, softly calling out “Boss.”

Yao Xiang Yi held her, murmuring sweet words of comfort and gently patting her back.

After she caught her breath, Yao Xiang Yi lifted the blanket, intending to go to the bathroom for a quick rinse.

Qiu Qing Shi grabbed her and whimpered, her nose red like a ripe cherry: “Boss (Bàba), don’t go.”

Yao Xiang Yi couldn’t possibly refuse her. Propping up half her head, she poked her pink-white earlobe like she was teasing a cat: “Still crying?”

As an old married couple, Qiu Qing Shi didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, she praised Yao Xiang Yi openly: “Boss, you’re amazing.”

Yao Xiang Yi teased, “Only amazing this time?”

“You’ve always been amazing.” Qiu Qing Shi took one of Yao Xiang Yi’s hands and pressed it against her burning cheek.

“Little imp, you’re deliberately trying to seduce me.”

Qiu Qing Shi argued, “I am not.”

“How about… one more time?”

Qiu Qing Shi’s wet eyes glistened with tiny sparks of light: “Okay.”

Qiu Qing Shi nibbled on her finger: “Boss, I want to try a different position.”

“Doggy style?”

Qiu Qing Shi dismissed it: “That uses too much energy. Can you even handle it?”

After speaking, she realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself: “This is our third round already. I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it.”

Yao Xiang Yi had felt stabbed by Qiu Qing Shi’s initial comment, but seeing her offer a way out, she took the opportunity: “I am indeed a bit tired.”

Qiu Qing Shi was waiting for just that: “How about… me on top of you?”

So that’s what she was waiting for.

The little darling has turned naughty.

Yao Xiang Yi cooperatively lay down, looking up at the ceiling and saying, “Be gentle, Baby.”

Qiu Qing Shi eagerly straddled her waist, checking her own fingernails.

Not bad. The length is appropriate, and they are smooth and rounded.

She can definitely give her Boss (Bàba) the utmost pleasure.

She rubbed her hands together, then pounced like a hungry wolf, nibbling on Yao Xiang Yi’s collarbone, sucking one, two, three love bites…

The phone briefly chimed.

Their phones were a couple’s set, and they hadn’t set up special notification sounds.

Qiu Qing Shi paid no attention. Even if the sky fell, it wouldn’t interrupt her providing ‘sexual service’ to her Boss.

Yao Xiang Yi was different. With a massive company to run, she had to check every message immediately in case of an emergency.

She shifted, calling a halt to their current intimacy.

Qiu Qing Shi ignored her, engrossed in the heavy labour and unable to pull herself away.

Yao Xiang Yi had no choice but to let her be, fumbling for her phone under the covers alone.

She finally found it and saw it was Qiu Qing Shi’s. The screen showed a voice message from Su Ti La.

“It’s Su Ti La.”

Big Manager Su was considerate of Qiu Qing Shi’s hard work, and she tried not to disturb her peace during her rest time.

A voice message this late was unusual, prompting Yao Xiang Yi to take notice.

She worried someone was spreading rumours about Qiu Qing Shi online again.

She decided to listen.

Yao Xiang Yi took the liberty of entering the six-digit password to unlock it.

The voice message played.

[CEO Yao might be promoting Bai Meng Zhao. As far as I know, she plans to arrange for Bai Meng Zhao to be a regular guest on ‘Mother-in-Law Is Here’ and also arrange an audition for the film ‘The Escort.’ Are you sure… CEO Yao only sees her as a little sister?]

Yao Xiang Yi’s pupils suddenly contracted: Holy crap!!

Qiu Qing Shi shot up: “!!!!”
