The Film Queen’s Little Bunny Wife - Chapter 16

It was fortunate that when she was practicing a while ago, her human form was unstable, and she didn’t turn on the video when she called Ling Hanyan. Otherwise, it would have been hard to explain why the pet bunny never appeared.

After much deliberation, Tu Jiaojiao decided to get a rabbit first, just in case.

Sigh, her elder sister had sent word. Because Ling Hanyan is an actress with a certain degree of public credibility, if she were to reveal the Moon Rabbit Clan’s secret, many people would believe it, and it would be difficult to handle the aftermath.

Although Tu Jiaojiao believed that Yanyan would definitely not be that kind of person, her sister still insisted that the contract must be written in more detail and consider every possible scenario. Therefore, it would take at least half a month for it to be finalized!

So, Tu Jiaojiao temporarily had to keep the fact that she was a rabbit a secret! God knows how agonizing this was!

Moreover, since she wanted the replacement to pass for her, it had to look at least eighty percent like her!

Tu Jiaojiao first transformed into her rabbit form and looked in the mirror for a long time, memorizing her physical features.

She was satisfied to find that her rabbit form was not inferior to her appearance before transmigrating!

In fact, because her rabbit form evolved after taking human form, “Tu Jiaojiao” had been pampered since childhood. Even in her original form, she was quite noble, lacking the rustic feel and possessing more of a cultured young lady’s demeanor!

Her entire body was covered in light, smooth white fur, without any dirt or stray hairs. Her eyes were captivating and expressive, and the white fur on her ears was long and beautiful!

Tu Jiaojiao happily went to an offline pet store, wanting to see if there was a little rabbit that could replace her.

Walking from the south street to the north street, which specialized in pets, she saw at least fifty Angora rabbits, if not a hundred.

But there was not one that met her requirements!

Because she was a rabbit herself, she could easily spot the subtle differences in their faces. Either their eyes weren’t as pretty as hers, or they had dental issues from irregular eating. Most of them were just average looking little rabbits!

The one that looked seventy percent like her was actually a male rabbit!

There was a huge difference between male and female rabbits; no matter how much it looked like her, she couldn’t take a male one home!

The rabbits seemed to sense her uniqueness and adored her with a star-struck attitude.

Whenever she walked into a pet store, whether the rabbits were sleeping with droopy eyes, burying their heads in hay, or even those in the middle of defecating…

They would perk up, drop what they were doing, and rush to jump in front of her, standing up on their hind legs to look up at her intently and make soft cooing sounds!

It was as fervent and excited as fans meeting their idol at the airport!

The male rabbit that bore some resemblance to her, after she stroked it twice and put it back, was immediately surrounded and savagely beaten by its littermates!

The pet store owner clicked his tongue in wonder, never expecting to see rabbits fighting over a young lady in his lifetime.

Seeing the situation escalate, and with busybodies gathering to take videos, Tu Jiaojiao quietly gave up on finding a rabbit herself and handed the task over to her secretary.

This was her work secretary, Bai Wanyue.

Bai Wanyue was very capable at her job, but came from a modest family background. Her elder sister had specially hired her at a high price to bolster “Tu Jiaojiao’s” image.

Now, such a competent person was hers to use.

Last month, when she was cultivating in the clan territory and couldn’t return to the company, she called Bai Wanyue and told her she was traveling abroad, asking her to handle company matters in her stead.

Bai Wanyue naturally accepted the full delegation of authority with a doubled salary.

When she received Tu Jiaojiao’s call now, she was somewhat surprised, but her tone was as gentle as ever, “Little President Tu, you’re back in the country?”

Hearing her reliable voice, Tu Jiaojiao immediately felt life was full of hope. “Mhm! Been back for a few days!”

“Are you planning to come into the office tomorrow?”

“Not yet. I want to get a rabbit, could you help me find a suitable one?”

“Huh?” Bai Wanyue was clearly startled by this sudden idea.

In theory, such a personal matter was part of her job description, but Tu Jiaojiao had never asked her to do anything like this before.

“I want a white Angora rabbit. I couldn’t find one I liked at the pet stores, so now I can only ask my invincible Sister Wanyue for help!” Hearing Tu Jiaojiao’s flattery, Bai Wanyue chuckled delightedly and agreed.

“I’ll send you the characteristics later. You absolutely have to help me find one that looks very similar!” Tu Jiaojiao chuckled. “Also, there’s one more thing. Could you help me check how much liquid capital I have in my account, Sister Wanyue?”

“Certainly.” This was a work matter, which surprisingly ranked second in the Little President Tu’s mind, less important than getting a pet…

Perhaps this was the romance of the wealthy.

Although she felt deeply emotional, Bai Wanyue was direct and reported a string of numbers shortly after.

“Wow, that should be enough!” Tu Jiaojiao was very pleasantly surprised to hear the number was close to a billion. This was absolutely enough to save Ling Hanyan’s crew from their difficulties, and she could even invest in a new movie!

But then she reconsidered Yanyan’s attitude seemed to indicate she didn’t want her involvement… She didn’t want to make Ling Hanyan unhappy.

Tu Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, blinked her eyes like black grapes, and thought for a while before looking up and smiling brightly.

“Sister Wanyue, could you contact the crew of The Legend of Empress He Lin on behalf of the company and ask if they need additional funding?”

Bai Wanyue was quite familiar with this. She had handled the procedures before when Tu Jiaojiao wanted to invest in Ling Hanyan’s new movie.

That time, she only invested a few million to test the waters, and showing up as Little President Tu’s secretary was no problem at all.

But this time, if the investment was to be made in the company’s name, it wasn’t something she could directly handle.

She was about to inform the Little President Tu about the necessary steps, but the person on the other end exclaimed, “I hear the door! Xuanxuan must be back!”

Before the words were finished, Tu Jiaojiao happily hung up the phone.

“Little Aunt! I missed you so much!”

Tu Mixuan had not yet awakened her Moon Rabbit bloodline, so the adults hadn’t told her exactly where Tu Jiaojiao went.

She thought Tu Jiaojiao had just returned from a business trip and had missed her terribly.

“I missed Xuanxuan too!” Tu Jiaojiao very generously hugged her niece, as if they hadn’t seen each other in centuries.

After a moment of affection, Tu Mixuan started wandering around the room, her small eyes darting here and there.

“Little Aunt, where’s your rabbit?” she asked abruptly, her gaze clear.

Recalling the time she was delightfully petted by the little girl in her original form, only to be scolded by her sister, Tu Jiaojiao shuddered.

She thought, Good thing I was prepared, and answered calmly, “It was sent for a physical check-up. It’ll be back in a while.”

“Poor bunny,” Tu Mixuan mumbled, shivering at the thought of blood tests.

A fragrant breeze swept in, and Tu Yueming’s large eyes fixed on Tu Jiaojiao, asking with a hint of menace, “What rabbit? Where is there a rabbit?”

It gave the impression that if she dared to mention anything about the Moon Rabbit Clan, her sister would become an only child.

“I got an Angora rabbit! I sent it with Sister Wanyue for a physical check-up!” Knowing that her sister was afraid she’d let slip something that would affect Xuanxuan’s future bloodline awakening, Tu Jiaojiao immediately clarified, shaking her head like a rattle.

Tu Yueming silently processed this for a moment, then nodded, giving her a look of approval. “That’s acceptable.”

Jiaojiao’s move is smart. Keeping a backup rabbit at home can effectively prevent an unstable spiritual power resulting in a failed transformation.

She continued to ask, “What did you two do when you met?”

“We took a walk on the mountain, enjoyed the breeze, and went to a small outdoor market.”

Thinking of Ling Hanyan, Tu Jiaojiao was filled with joy, smiling as she spoke.

As for Lin Yingxue’s matter, her intuition told her that explaining it would take a lot of effort, and her sister wasn’t curious about such trivial things, so she didn’t mention it.

Just then, Tu Yueming’s phone rang, so she didn’t ask further and turned to walk out the door.

“Who did Little Aunt go out with?” Xuanxuan, in her arms, looked up and asked.

“Hahaha, you’ll definitely be jealous when I tell you.” Tu Jiaojiao rubbed her nose and laughed heartily.

“Hmph, isn’t it just a business trip? I’m not jealous…” Before she could finish, Tu Jiaojiao felt the little girl in her arms stiffen.

After a few seconds of stiffness, Xuanxuan turned her head and asked loudly, “It wasn’t Yanyan, was it!”

Tu Jiaojiao’s eyes curved as she smiled with pursed lips, neither answering nor denying.

But this answer was even more devastating than a straightforward admission!

“Aaaaah!!” Predictably, Xuanxuan started to throw a fit. “I want to see Yanyan too! I missed her assistant last time she came, and I missed her in person this time too, aaaaah!!”

“Next time, definitely next time!” Tu Jiaojiao’s hands itched at the sight of her clowning around.

So, she extended her wicked hands to tickle Xuanxuan, and soon the two were rolling on the floor, laughing together.

They even began planning what they would do the next time they met Yanyango to the zoo to see elephants or go to an amusement park…

Soon after, Tu Yueming returned, looking slightly gloomy, carrying a small bowl of washed strawberries.

She handed the small bowl to Xuanxuan and stroked her daughter’s hair. “Eat your strawberries nicely. I need to talk with your Little Aunt.”

The strawberry lover happily took the small bowl and nodded vigorously, completely ignoring the panic in Tu Jiaojiao’s eyes.

Outside the bedroom door, Tu Yueming’s eyes rested on Tu Jiaojiao, who didn’t know what her sister wanted to say. She was so nervous she almost transformed into a rabbit to run away.

Seeing her cautious look, Tu Yueming also felt a pang of distress.

She sighed and asked gloomily, “Jiao, what did Ling Hanyan tell you? Why the sudden idea to add investment?”

“Nothing, I wanted to add it myself!” Tu Jiaojiao shook her head frantically, not wanting her sister to blame Yanyan.

Seeing how afraid she was that her sister would misunderstand Ling Hanyan, Tu Yueming felt truly helpless.

She gently patted her sister’s head as a comfort, and her tone softened a little. “Then tell me, what exactly happened?”

“It has nothing to do with her. We ran into Lin Yingxue on the way back…”

At this point, Tu Jiaojiao had no choice but to hang her head and dutifully recount the whole story.

“Are you saying that the upstart surnamed Chen wants to bully a young girl? Either replace her or withdraw the investment?” Tu Yueming’s temper flared up after hearing the full account, and she asked through clenched teeth.

My sister looks so cool when she’s angry, Tu Jiaojiao thought.

But she still answered softly, “It should be true. Xiao Xue was crying.”

“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it.” Her sister curled her lips, lightly tapped Jiaojiao’s forehead with her index finger, and smiled freely and brightly. “Just tell Big Sister about money matters. Why would you need to empty your little savings?”
