Chapter 548 Old Acquaintance
Xiang Xiaoxiao remained silent, but her agent already knew the answer in his heart, and rolled his eyes.
Looking at the constantly refreshing messages on the computer screen, he sighed helplessly, "Why did you provoke her? I told you long ago, this girl may be young, but she's incredibly cunning. She probably has powerful backers. We shouldn't go against her, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've suffered the consequences."
The agent's words were like a fuse igniting a bomb, instantly setting Xiang Xiaoxiao off the hook.
With a loud crash, the sound of a glass shattering into pieces, mixed with the splashing of water inside, echoed in the room.
The agent was startled, and his expression darkened.
Xiang Xiaoxiao, however, failed to notice this and said with a ferocious expression, "She has powerful backers, but don't I have mine?"
She was clearly a member of the Xiang family, their relative, yet they treated her like nothing, instead protecting a wild girl who had no relation to them as if she were their own sister, showering her with gifts.
How could she accept this? How could she swallow this insult?
The agent almost immediately realized who Xiang Xiaoxiao was referring to as her backer, and rolled her eyes in disgust from an angle that Xiang Xiaoxiao couldn't see.
The reason he chose this woman and took the initiative to become her agent was because he valued her supposed kinship with a certain important figure.
But after he took over the other party, reality was completely different from what he had imagined.
Putting everything else aside, if this matter were to escalate to that person's level today, it's hard to say who that person would side with, but he felt that it was highly unlikely to be the person in front of him.
Ye Wanxi, who had no idea that she had become the epitome of "beautiful, strong, and tragic" and had inexplicably become the hottest online shopping expert, was now patiently waiting with Feng Tianyu and others for their third senior brother, who was providing technical assistance.
However, she never expected that her third senior brother would not only come himself, but also bring someone with him.
"My dearest Xiaoxi, it's been so long, have you missed me?"
The first person to disembark from the plane darted out like a mad rabbit on springs, grabbing Ye Wanxi and giving her a good squeeze.
Unfortunately, before he could even knead it twice, Feng Tianyu picked him up and threw him out.
"Tch!" Qi Yingxuan glared at the unexpected troublemaker, his face full of displeasure. "It's just a pat on the head, what a stingy thing to you. Why didn't I notice how domineering you were back on the mountain? Oh, I forgot, Master was still around then."
Filled with resentment, Qi Yingxuan, being particularly sarcastic, used his master, whose whereabouts were unknown, to stab his senior brother in the heart. However, Feng Tianyu's expression didn't even change, and he casually replied, "If it weren't for just a pat on the head, do you think you could still be standing here so well?"
In fact, if it weren't for the little bit of camaraderie they had left, he would have thrown this guy away before he even pounced on him, and he wouldn't have been able to run into his junior sister.
Qi Yingxuan pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Stingy."
Ye Wanxi finally realized what was happening and looked at Qi Yingxuan, who shouldn't be there, with some surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to find the production consultant I already booked. Junior sister, you're really not loyal to me. We agreed that once you finished filming this drama, you would come to my production team and be the pillar of strength."
"I specifically rented a film crew next to 'Jianghu' for this, just waiting to bring you to the crew as soon as you finished filming. But what did you do? You ran off with someone without saying a word, and when it was time to start filming, you didn't even show up. Many people in my crew came specifically for you, and without you, their enthusiasm for filming has dropped considerably. At this rate, if I don't get you back soon, I'm afraid I'll lose everything."
Ye Wanxi looked embarrassed. The incident was sudden, and she not only canceled some work, but also canceled the opening ceremony of her fifth senior brother's film.
Although it's possible, I'm ultimately in the wrong.
Just as he was about to say something to apologize, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind Qi Yingxuan: "Don't listen to Lao Wu's nonsense. His film crew stopped work because the epidemic in City A has worsened recently, and large gatherings of people are not allowed. It has nothing to do with you."
Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up slightly when she saw Jun Wuduan: "Third Senior Brother."
"Hmm." Jun Wuduan smiled faintly and looked the two of them over. "You two have been working hard lately. I think Junior Sister seems to have lost a bit of weight."
"No, I don't think so." Ye Wanxi subconsciously touched her face. "Those professionals are the ones who have worked hard; we weren't able to help much. You two, why did you come together?"
"This kid's film crew's been shut down and he's got nothing to do. As soon as you asked me to come, he started clamoring to come along. The second brother was originally going to come too, but he recently went on a trip to another province. Because of the location, he's been detained and quarantined there and can't come out for the time being."
Ye Wanxi opened her mouth, wanting to ask, "What kind of place could possibly imprison my second senior brother?"
As if sensing Ye Wanxi's thoughts, Jun Wuduan added with a faint smile, "Yun Ke is with him."
"..." Okay, the second senior brother is not afraid of the virus, but Sister Yunke is an ordinary person now, so he has to stay and protect her.
But when she thought of her second senior brother with a bitter face, reluctantly being quarantined with Sister Yunke, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
"As for the fourth brother..." Jun Wuduan glanced at the head of the house with a half-smile, "He doesn't like crowds, he'll come later."
Ye Wanxi: "???" Coming later? How are you coming? Flying directly over?!
“Cough cough… cough cough…”
Ye Wanxi wanted to ask a couple more questions, but Xiao Jihui, Academician Liu, and others, who had been acting as background figures behind the two, finally couldn't help but speak up, reminding them of their presence.
"Who are these people...?"
"These are the doctors in charge of this area and the village chief. This is the deputy minister of a special department, surnamed Xiao."
Ye Wanxi emphasized Xiao Jihui's introduction, and Jun Wuduan's gaze naturally fell on him first: "Hello."
"Hello." Xiao Jihui had long been curious about what kind of person Ye Wanxi and her companion were, but he never expected that the other party seemed to be... a mixed-race person?
Before the two could exchange more words, the little jade toad, which had been hiding behind Ye Wanxi's shoulder and covered by her hair, quietly scooted forward and let out a "croak".
Qi Yingxuan spotted the little creature at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn't this the little pet that tigress keeps? What's it doing here?"
The Wu clan chief and others, who knew the origins of the Jade Toad, exclaimed: "!!!" Another old acquaintance who knew the patriarch?
Jun Wuduan had obviously also seen the jade toad. His usual gentle smile seemed to have faded considerably. He stepped forward and slowly reached out his hand to the little jade toad.
