nThen Lin Ru would only hate Xiao Rou more, and Xiao Rou couldn’t be acknowledged by Lin Ru in this life! In her opinion, it was merely an convenient measure for Xiao Rou to live in Xiao Hongli’s home, when in fact she still wanted to return to her biological family!

nSeeing Xiao Jinning looking so smug when she mentioned Lin Ru, Xiao Jing sneered, “I don’t care what she thinks. Who is she? Why should I care about her thoughts? Bite me if she likes!”

nXiao Sa patted Xiao Jing on the shoulder and said with a laugh, “Aren’t you afraid of rabies? How can you ask her to bite you?”

nXiao Jing laughed out loud and secretly gave his second brother a thumbs up. Then he leisurely turned around and left. Xiao Jinning stomped angrily as she looked at his retreating back.

nIn the elevator, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing exchanged a glance and both saw pleasure in each other’s eyes. Before they learned about what happened to Xiao Rou and Xiao Jinning, while they didn’t like their aunt and uncle’s way of doing things, nor did they like Xiao Jinning, they were on speaking terms with Xiao Yan and got along with them on the surface. However, now they found these people unbearable, and whenever they saw Xiao Jinning, they just wanted to pick on her!

nAfter witnessing their fight, the staff member stood in the corner of the elevator, feeling greatly embarrassed. He thought maybe he should say something to thaw the atmosphere.

n“Haha, Mr. Xiao Sa and Mr. Xiao Jing are so humorous. I know you were making a joke on Miss Xiao…” Oh no, how should I continue?

n“Haha…” Xiao Jing sneered, stared at the staff member and snorted before continuing, “I wasn’t joking at her. I’m quarreling with her.”

nThe staff member wiped his sweat and thought the two sons of the Xiao Family were really straightforward! He intended on going to the monitor room to ask the security guard to delete the two videos, in case they were taken by people harboring ill intentions. If that happened, the two men would be denounced as ungentlemanly.

nOf course, this wasn’t the worst case scenario. If Xiao Jinning hired paid posters, they would be labeled as jerks.

nHowever, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa didn’t worry about it at all. If Xiao Jinning dared reveal any information, the public would know Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Hongli were actually on bad terms. If it was proven true, then Xiao Hongyi’s business partners who cooperated with him to curry favor with Xiao Hongli would probably terminate their partnership. After all, they cooperated with Xiao Hongyi for the sake of Xiao Hongli. If Xiao Hongli was annoyed by the cooperation, why should they bother to do it?

nSo they were sure that Xiao Jinning dared not to do anything. Even if she was greatly unhappy and wanted to get revenge on them, she could only speak ill of them in front of Lin Ru. However, no matter how unsatisfied Lin Ru was with them, she could only scold them at most. It didn’t affect them at all.

nAs soon as they went upstairs, He Wanning and Xiao Rou came up to them. Tang Xi still wore a mask and hat to avoid being photographed. She would only take off the mask and hat when she was in He Wanning’s office. Seeing the two men beaming with smiles, He Wanning raised his eyebrows, took a look at Tang Xi and said, “Go to my office.”

nXiao Sa and Xiao Jing nodded and followed him to the office. Tang Xi took a look at them, but they merely kept a steady gaze forward and pretended not to know her. Tang Xi shook her head with a smile, and asked them upon entering He Wanning’s office, “What took you so long?”

nXiao Sa shrugged. “Someone wanted to stop you from signing the contract, so of course we needed to teach her a lesson.” Then he turned to He Wanning and asked, “Well, He Wanning, next time Xiao Jinning comes to hassle and blame me for making you cancel the contract with her, can I tell her you are the second child of the He Family?”

nHe Wanning nodded and replied, “Sure. It’s not a secret that I’m the second child of the He Family.”

nAlthough he usually kept a low profile and few people knew that he was the second child of the He Family, he wouldn’t deliberately conceal that fact. Of course, he knew that everything he had now was closely related to his identity, in spite of being talented himself.

nTang Xi smiled and handed the contract to Xiao Sa. “I’ve looked it over and I don’t think there’s any problem. Check it for me. If it has no problem, I’ll sign it and the shooting will start next Saturday.”

nXiao Sa looked it over. “I don’t find any problem with it.”

nHe Wanning gave a relieved smile. “That’s great. Then I’ll have someone send Rourou to the shooting site next Saturday.”

nXiao Jing asked, “Where is the shooting site?”

n“On Hongshi Mountain. The scenery there is very good,” He Wanning said.

n“Shooting a perfume TV commercial on Hongshi Mountain?” Xiao Jing frowned. “Will that be okay?”

nTalking about his profession, He Wanning was clearly very confident. “After the day I met Rourou, I changed the script, so we don’t need the set to be magnificent and gorgeous. People will be able to tell her noble identity from her elegant manners. And she’ll be interacting with butterflies in nature.”

n“Butterflies?” Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. She was not the Fragrant Imperial Concubine who could attract butterflies with her body scent. How could she interact with a butterfly?

nHe Wanning laughed. “We’ll use special effects.”

nTang Xi had no objections, while Xiao Sa asked, “Who will be the director? He won’t leak our Rourou’s information, right?”

nHe Wanning smiled. “I’ll invite Ning Yan to be the director.”

nNing Yan was a very popular director, and also a versatile one. He made movies, both art and commercial films, as well as TV series, whether it be a costume or modern drama. However, he hadn’t shot any TV commercial before.

nAlthough he was not picky about scripts, he was extremely picky with regards to actors and actresses. Xiao Jinning was the only exception so far.

nXiao Sa and Xiao Jing were very familiar with Ning Yan, so they trusted him. They were relieved to hear it. “Good. May I have a look at the script?”

nHe Wanning knew how much the Xiao brothers cared about Xiao Rou, so he wouldn’t object to it. He showed the script to Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing, and Tang Xi also leaned forward to read it. After reading the script, she raised her eyebrows, asking, “I’ll wear a half-faced mask when I show my face in the end?”

nHe Wanning nodded with a complacent smile on his face. “I thought it would set off your face and add a sense of mystery, which matches the theme of our Magic Butterfly series—mystery and nobility. The part where you play with butterflies in the middle will add to the dreamlike feel.”

nTang Xi nodded. “Playing with colorful butterflies in water. It does fit the Magic Butterfly series.”

nHe Wanning smiled. “I’m glad you’re satisfied with it.”

nTang Xi shrugged. “What matters is not my satisfaction, but yours. I should at least make the three million Yuan you paid worth it.”
