Chapter 517 A Maggot
Sister Mei pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Shi Menglu with admiration, praising, "Lulu, your idea is brilliant. Once the advertisement airs and this video is released, it will not only prevent He Qionshi from establishing herself in the entertainment industry but also deliver a fatal blow to Huoshi Cosmetics. It’s killing two birds with one stone, excellent, excellent!"
Sister Mei had witnessed Shi Menglu’s growth and was pleased to see it. To survive in the entertainment industry, one had to be more ruthless and insidious than others, and Shi Menglu clearly possessed all five poisons.
Shi Menglu gritted her teeth and said with a sinister smile, "Chen Xuan, He Qionshi, you are finished!"
Sister Mei got up to return to her room, but suddenly looked at Shi Menglu's face. "Lulu, what’s wrong with your face? I feel something is off."
"My face?"
Shi Menglu frowned. She hurried to the mirror, but saw nothing unusual, just that her complexion didn't look very good.
Sister Mei took another look. The purple aura on Shi Menglu’s face that she had just seen had disappeared. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if it was an illusion.
"Maybe I haven't slept well these past few days," Shi Menglu said.
"Lulu, you are a star, and your livelihood depends on your looks. You must remember to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and make time for facials," Sister Mei reminded her.
"Sister Mei, I know, I know. I’m going to sleep now." Shi Menglu impatiently pushed Sister Mei out.
...
"Sister Yunxi, yesterday at the fan meeting for the big star He Qionshi, there were crowds of people, so many!"
"You don't know, yesterday at the fan meeting for the big star He Qionshi, I, Wei Linlin, became the luckiest audience member, and even played games with He Qionshi on stage in front of everyone."
The next morning at the breakfast table, Wei Linlin had not yet recovered from yesterday's fan meeting, chattering away with a happy expression.
See? Dad was wrong to not let me chase stars. So many people chase stars, why is her dad okay?
And her daughter is the most outstanding and lucky one, so, Sister Yunxi, if you meet Dad next time, you have to speak up for me.
"Linlin has good luck," Su Yunxi said faintly.
"Of course!"
"Oh, then let's eat quickly," Su Yunxi said.
Wei Linlin blinked. That's it? Shouldn't she be more supportive of my stargazing?
Seeing that Su Yunxi had no further comments, she could only pout and bury her head in her food.
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan with a strange expression. "Did you get the ticket for Wei Linlin?"
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
"It seems you have good connections. You even know He Qionshi."
Su Yunxi didn't know He Qionshi, but she had heard Wei Linlin mention the name many times and remembered it. She occasionally saw her in the news or on television.
Admittedly, for He Qionshi to be a top-tier star, her looks and figure were indeed excellent.
"I smell something jealous."
Chen Xuan sniffed and smiled slightly.
"Hmph, who would be jealous." A blush appeared on Su Yunxi's fair face.
"Sister Yunxi, you don't need to feel inferior. You are even more beautiful than He Qionshi."
Wei Linlin looked at Su Yunxi with comfort, then glared at Chen Xuan. "Also, if this guy dares to betray you, Linlin won’t let him get away with it."
It was rare that in front of her idol and Su Yunxi, Wei Linlin was still very clear-headed and firmly chose to stand with Su Yunxi, which touched Su Yunxi greatly.
"You ungrateful wretch, I got you the ticket for nothing." Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
Wei Linlin’s eyes darted around guiltily. "Chen Xuan, I was just joking with you, haha... I believe you wouldn't betray Sister Yunxi."
These words were flawless, offending neither Su Yunxi nor Chen Xuan.
It was hard to imagine that these words were spoken by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl thinking on her feet.
It seemed that the Wei family’s upbringing of Wei Linlin was truly extraordinary.
After eating, everyone went to work or school. Jiang Biyun couldn't wait to find her girlfriends. She had been obsessed with stocks before, and now she had a strong interest in domestic cosmetics. This was the life of the ladies of the provincial capital. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Chen Xuan went to Renxin Medical Clinic as usual to teach Lu Jian and Old Lu medicine. On the way, Chen Xuan received a call from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao told Chen Xuan that early this morning, He Qionshi and her agent Sister Bei had gone to Huoshi Cosmetics to shoot an advertisement for the company.
Chen Xuan was not surprised by this. Even if He Qionshi didn’t know his relationship with Huoshi Cosmetics, she should have realized he had ties to them, so it was natural for her to reciprocate and be attentive.
Huoshi Cosmetics had also accelerated its development.
At Renxin Medical Clinic, Old Lu and Lu Jian looked at Chen Xuan with admiration.
Although they had been studying for a short time, they felt their medical skills had improved significantly and they had gained a deeper understanding of some medical principles, making them even more worshipful of Chen Xuan.
They couldn't imagine how Chen Xuan, at such a young age, could know so much.
It wasn't until evening that Chen Xuan drove home.
...
In the evening, Chen Xuan, who was looking at his phone, suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Su Yunxi. "Yunxi, what happened with that fake medicine incident?"
Su Yunxi shook her head, looking disappointed. "The lead has gone cold."
"Yunxi, why not start investigating from the hospital, perhaps Shengxin Hospital where Old Fu is staying," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Hearing this, Su Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. "Yes, the fake medicine appeared at Shengxin Hospital. There must be some clues. I'll have someone investigate right away."
With that, Su Yunxi eagerly took her phone and went to the study.
Looking at Su Yunxi's retreating figure, Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with tenderness.
After dinner, Chen Xuan sat on the sofa watching television.
Wei Linlin blinked her big eyes, which darted around. She tiptoed over, showing a fawning smile. "Chen Xuan... do you still like the boxing gloves I gave you?"
Chen Xuan looked up at Wei Linlin's appearance and was stunned. He said helplessly, "If you have something to say, say it."
Wei Linlin, the eldest daughter of the Wei family and a well-known little devil in the provincial capital, had never fawned over anyone before. He knew with his toes that Wei Linlin must have something she wanted him to do.
Wei Linlin was taken aback and blinked at Chen Xuan, seeming incredulous that Chen Xuan could see through her thoughts at a glance.
However, this thought quickly vanished. As she had an urgent matter, she couldn't think about it much longer and spoke directly. "You know me best, it's you, Chen Xuan. You're truly a maggot inside my stomach."
A maggot...
Chen Xuan’s mouth twitched. "Aren't you studying well? It seems you've been slacking off lately. I need to have a good talk with your father."
"Why are you so unfunny? I was just joking with you."
Wei Linlin pouted.
"Joking? Then I understand." Chen Xuan turned off the TV and got up to go upstairs to the bedroom.
Wei Linlin couldn't hold back any longer and hurried forward, hugging Chen Xuan's arm. "Chen Xuan, can you accompany me out tonight? I promise to be back on time before eleven!"
"Accompany you?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Wei Linlin nodded.
"Why?"
Wei Linlin shook her head and stammered, "No... nothing..."
"Because Uncle Wei said that while you are attending school, Wei Linlin is not allowed to go out at night, let alone go out with her shady friends."
Suddenly, a clear and cold voice rang out.
