After the meeting, Qiao Chu went to Luo Luo's house.

Qiao Chu ate a few of the preserved plums that were sitting on the coffee table.

Luo Luo stared intently at Qiao Chu and asked, "Don't you think it's sour? I was about to throw it away, it's so sour!"

Qiao Chu shrugged and said, "I think it's fine, and the taste is okay too. It's such a waste to throw it away, so you can give it to me. When I have nothing to do, I can eat some preserved plums to pass the time."

"Do you have time? Aren't you very busy?"

"For example, when you're so busy that you feel sleepy, eating a sour plum is so refreshing, and the sleepiness disappears instantly."

"You're definitely not just here to freeload on my preserved plums. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Qiao Chu smiled, "I still couldn't escape your eyes!"

Qiao Chu took a small sealed bag out of her bag and gave it to Luo Luo.

When she pulled Wei Yuan's hair, she secretly left a strand.

Now, it comes in handy.

"Help me test and compare their DNA. One long hair, one short hair. Do it secretly. Just you and I know about this."

Whose is it?

"I'll let you know when the results are out."

"secret?"

"Um!"

Luo Luo carefully put the sample away. "Alright, I know what to do."

"I won't stand on ceremony, I'm really taking this bag of preserved plums."

"Take it, it's a waste to leave it to me, I won't eat it."

"Then you'll still buy it?"

"I thought it wouldn't be that sour, but it's so sour it's made my teeth feel soft. Seriously, you can really handle sour things!"

"It's good to try the feeling of citric acid, so you can try to understand what other people are thinking."

"You mean Wei Yuan?"

"Yesterday, I beat her up, and it felt really satisfying!"

Pfft... Luo Luo laughed.

"You're something else! If you'd told me earlier that something this exciting was available, I would have joined in too."

“I could easily knock her to the ground myself, she was screaming like a dolphin. If you hit her too, she'd probably be dead. Although she's just a worthless life, not worth our time. She dared to step on my dress and tear it, I couldn't stand by and watch without beating her up.”

Luo Luo's smile deepened. "What's your husband's attitude? Does he feel sorry for you or for her?"

"Of course he's worried about me! Then, yesterday, Grandpa called us in for a talk, probably because he doesn't want us to take action."

"Master Jiang is shrewd and calculating; he doesn't want you to get your hands dirty."

"I know, so I didn't do anything!"

“I found something, and someone already did it many years ago.”

Tell me about it.

"I'll tell you all at once the DNA test results you want are available."

Qiao Chu and Luo Luo looked at each other, and in an instant, she understood.

Is there really a problem?

"It should be just as you guessed."

"Grandpa told me that we don't necessarily have to reveal the answer."

"You decide for yourself; this outcome could drive someone crazy."

Qiao Chu nodded and said nothing more.

She spat out the plum pit and ate another one.

Luo Luo watched Qiao Chu eat, and even she felt it was sour, so she frowned.

Qiao Chu ate with gusto, without even flinching.

Luo Luo shook her head slightly, admitting her mistake to Qiao Chu.

"I have something to tell you. Rong Zhan is coming back. He got a cold shoulder in Y country, and Zhu Qian ignored him too."

"He wants to cooperate with me and even fantasizes about swallowing ZOE. His behavior is really disgusting. I'd rather not pay any attention to him! People with the surname Rong are all too self-important, arrogant, and self-centered. They are not popular."

"With Zhu Qian in charge, don't worry, they can't do anything to us."

"I feel very reassured with your help. Thank you so much!"

"Why are you being so polite? Besides, we can make money too; we're partners."

Qiao Chu smiled and actually took the bag of preserved plums from Luo Luo. "I'm leaving now. I'll arrange all the work. We're taking wedding photos tomorrow. In a couple of days, it's Joe's jewelry show. I'll be busy."

"You may be busy, but you need to take care of your health and not overwork yourself."

"I understand, I will do my best."

******

Wei Yuan has already prepared her outfit and done her makeup for the new movie's press conference.

Fortunately, she applied ice yesterday, and the bruising on her face faded considerably.

Her makeup was also quite heavy, so the bruises on her face were no longer visible.

Suddenly, Wei Yuan received a call from her agent.

Xiao Qin: "Wei Yuan, I received a message from the investors that you've been replaced and don't need to attend the new movie's press conference."

In an instant, Wei Yuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body went numb.

how so?

Who did this?

Is it that bitch Qiao Chu?

Or is it that old codger from the Jiang family?

Wei Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily a few times as she said, "Sister Qin, is there no room for negotiation?"

Xiao Qin sneered.

"Negotiation? Room for maneuver? Wei Yuan, don't you even look at who you've offended? Who's going to give you any room for negotiation? Not only has your lead role in the new movie been replaced, but several of your endorsement contracts have been terminated. You've caused a lot of trouble!"

The boss is furious, and the company is discussing how to deal with you. To put it bluntly, if you don't win the Best Actress award, the company might drop you.

This is indeed a big problem!

Wei Yuan had anticipated this from the moment she decided to return.

She wanted to take another gamble, but she never expected to lose so badly.

Does Jiang Zhi have absolutely no feelings for her anymore?

Could he bear to watch her be tortured to death?

Thinking about it, Wei Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly.
