"You wait."

Du Jian returned to the villa to consult Shangguan Xue.

In the living room of the villa, Jiang Shuo lay on the sofa and said coquettishly, "My head hurts so much. I think I need to rest for another two months before I can work."

Shangguan Xue's lips twitched slightly.

Aren't you afraid your agent will come after you?

Jiang Shuo gave her a flirty wink: "Then I'll have to ask you to save me, Miss."

Shangguan Xue was stunned.

At this moment, Du Jian walked in and reported, "Miss, someone outside wants to see you. She claims to be Mr. Jiang's older sister, or even your sister-in-law."

Shangguan Xue stood up in surprise and said, "Wu Bao's sister-in-law? Please invite her in."

"Don't let her in!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Shuo's eyes as he sat up and said, "She caused my car accident. If she comes in, she'll definitely kill me. Miss, you really have to save me this time."

Shangguan Xue looked at him in disbelief: "What? Isn't she your biological sister?"

"yes."

Jiang Shuo gave a bitter laugh, then suddenly changed the subject: "But she's a madwoman, self-righteous, a lunatic. She's been spoiled rotten by the Jiang family."

Shangguan Xue: "..."

"She's after me! Don't go out, I'll go out and tell her to get lost!"

Jiang Shuo suddenly stood up, his vision went black, and he almost fell back onto the sofa, but luckily Shangguan Xue caught him.

Shangguan Xue said, "Alright, you rest now, I'll go talk to her."

But Jiang Shuo disagreed.

He went out alone.

When Jiang Yu saw him come out and didn't see Shangguan Xue, she snorted coldly, "Where is that woman? Why didn't she come out to see me?"

Jiang Shuo was very impatient with her condescending tone and said sarcastically, "Who do you think you are that makes her have to come out and see you?"

Jiang Yu met his cold gaze and involuntarily took two steps back. Thinking of what she had experienced today, she said in a sharp voice, "I am your own sister, how dare you speak up for that woman?"

Jiang Shuo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he sneered coldly: "My own sister? She wasn't when you were helping those people plot against me."

Jiang Yu retorted sharply, "What do you mean, 'that group of people'? They're all your family! Are you just going to watch them die? You have no heart!"

Jiang Shuo laughed in exasperation.

Does he have no heart?

He started his career at the age of ten, and from ten to twenty, all the money he earned went to pay off the Jiang family's debts.

But he works more than thirteen hours a day, and he also has to study culture, singing, and dancing.

Ironically, he never spent a single penny of the money he earned.

Is it ridiculous?

When he was starving and sleepless, where were the family members she spoke of?

Where were her so-called family members when he was injured and fell off the stage while filming?

They're in the casino!

It was Shangguan Xue who took him to the hospital after he fainted from hunger on the road again. She not only bought him a lot of apples, but also gave him two hundred yuan.

That two hundred yuan was what helped him get through the two most difficult months.

When he was twenty, his contract with his original company expired, and he felt like he was living like a human being when he signed a new contract!

He's just no longer a dog of the Jiang family, and she actually came over and said he has no heart?

A flash of malice crossed Jiang Shuo's eyes, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Yes, I have no heart, so why did you come looking for me?"

Jiang Yu stared at him, speechless, but felt a little guilty from the coldness in his eyes.

Fortunately, she had a backup plan.

"Xiao Bao is waiting for you at the hotel."

Jiang Shuo's tone was cold: "Why did you bring Xiao Bao here?"

Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, and she smiled gently, saying, "He kept asking to see his uncle. He was sick a few days ago and has only just gotten a little better. I wanted to cheer him up, so I brought him along. He's alone in his hotel room now. Let's hurry back to the hotel."

Jiang Shuo knew she was doing it on purpose, but the thought of Xiao Bao being alone in the hotel room reminded him of himself when he was a child, and his face darkened completely.

"You left a child in a hotel? Are you out of your mind?"

Jiang Yu frowned deeply: "The Hualong Hotel is very safe. Didn't you often stay in hotels alone when you were a child?"

With red eyes, Jiang Shuo cursed, "Jiang Yu, you don't deserve to be a mother!"

Jiang Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Shuo, you've gone too far!"

Jiang Shuo ignored him and turned to walk towards the villa's garage.

On the steps of the villa, Shangguan Xue looked at the tall boy not far away with surprise.

He exuded a cold, aloof aura that kept strangers at bay.

This was the first time she had seen him so cold, as if he shut everyone out. She frowned worriedly.

Seeing him walk toward the garage, Shangguan Xue followed.

Are you going out?

When Jiang Shuo saw her, the frost in his eyes disappeared completely, and he looked at her with a gentle smile: "My nephew is alone in the hotel, and I'm worried about him, so I plan to pick him up and then notify Brother Gu to come and pick up the child."

Shangguan Xue paused for a moment, looked at the gauze wrapped around his head, and pursed her lips slightly: "I'll go with you."

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shuo's eyes, but when he thought of Jiang Yu, who was mentally ill, outside the door, he shook his head.

"No need, you wait for me at home. I want to eat braised pork for dinner."

"..."

Shangguan Xue thought he would agree and was very happy, but to her utter surprise, he refused.

"Do it yourself!"

After saying that, Shangguan Xue turned and walked into the villa.

Jiang Shuo watched her retreating figure and laughed like a fool.

Because Shangguan Xue had been very polite to him all this time, her slightly temperamental tone today made her seem less distant, so it was no wonder he was unhappy!
