"Jinqiu, do you have time recently? Can you accompany me home?" Ning Chuchu asked gently.

Xie Jinqiu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. He didn't know whether it was because of Ning Chuchu's extraordinarily intimate attitude, or because the matter she raised made him a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xie Jinqiu's clear and calm voice soon rang out, "Okay."

Ning Chuchu felt relieved and smiled. She asked, "When are you free? I'll arrange a time."

Xie Jinqiu was surprisingly tolerant, "I can do it anytime."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Wasn't her workaholic fiancé always very busy? It was easy for her to ask him out, but she could even choose the time?

To be honest, Ning Chuchu was a little nervous before calling him. Because it was only when she and Xie Jinqiu got engaged two years ago that their parents met together.

Apart from this, Xie Jinqiu has never seen her father's relatives again. She only receives gifts from her assistant on time during holidays.

This man was really cold and distant. If Ning Chuchu hadn't been attracted by his family background and abilities, she would never have been able to tolerate such a fiancé.

However, Ning Chuchu feels that Xie Jinqiu has become much easier to get along with recently, and she is becoming more and more satisfied with this boring fiancé.

She was always good at taking advantage of others. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively, "As soon as possible? Or tonight?"

She was afraid that if the matter was delayed for too long, her cunning stepmother would quietly cover up the matter.

There was a rustling sound from Xie Jinqiu's side, as if he was asking his assistant something.

After a moment, his cold and serious voice rang out: "If you want to go home and confront Yun Shu because of her company, I suggest setting the time for tomorrow night."

"I have already found some clues about the flow of funds in her company. I can help you get definite evidence tomorrow."

Xie Jinqiu's voice was still calm, but when she heard it in Ning Chuchu's ears, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Really?" The curve of Ning Chuchu's mouth widened, a true and happy smile appeared on her face, and her tone became more solemn, "Jinqiu, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xie Jinqiu was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, there was an indescribable subtlety in his voice, "This is what I should do."

Ning Chuchu was immersed in pure joy and didn't notice the change in his attitude. Ning Chuchu listened to his advice, set the time to go home as tomorrow night, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Chuchu leaned back in the recliner and relaxed. The solemnity and anger she had just shown had completely faded away, leaving only a hint of joy on her face.

She really didn't expect that Xie Jinqiu would be willing to help her to this extent. Could it be that she is too charming and Xie Jinqiu has fallen for her?

Xie Jinqiu's extremely handsome, yet extremely cold face unexpectedly appeared in Ning Chuchu's mind... She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and silently put the thought behind her.

Sister Zhang came up to her and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Xie Jinqiu promised to accompany you home?"

"Not only that, he also agreed to help me collect evidence of Yun Shu's tampering." Ning Chuchu said with a smile.

Sister Zhang patted the armrest in surprise and said with suppressed excitement: "Great, this time you will definitely be able to bite off a piece of meat from your stepmother!"

Ning Chuchu's eyes darkened slightly, and the curve of her lips turned a little cold. She snorted coldly, "I've wanted to punish her for a long time."

Immediately, Sister Zhang smiled mischievously and patted her arm, teasing: "Your fiancé has been a big help this time. Remember to thank him. After all, you are an unmarried couple, so you still need to cultivate your relationship. Xie Jinqiu This guy is really nice, you’d better hold on tight.”

Ning Chuchu was slightly startled, then her expression gradually softened. She said softly, "I will thank him very much."

To be honest, this incident is really thanks to Xie Jinqiu.

Ning Chuchu originally thought that she was forced to promote the mask without any quality certification this time, and Yun Yirou just wanted to force her to lie, or she wanted to ruin her reputation.

Ning Chuchu never paid attention to that three-no facial mask company from the beginning to the end. She just thought that it was the mask manufacturer's bad luck and was used by Yun Yirou as a tool to attack her.

Who would have thought that Yun Shu would be behind this company that produces facial masks with excessive lead content?

In a sense, this matter was much more serious than Yun Yirou's plot against her to bring goods. Ning Chuchu felt that as long as she dug deeper along this line, she would definitely get unexpected surprises!

Sister Zhang sighed: "No wonder Xie Jinqiu is so promising at such a young age. With his acumen and means of investigating things, if he doesn't make money, who will?"

Ning Chuchu nodded: "Indeed."

She, the client, didn't even think deeply about the background of the facial mask company, but Xie Jinqiu investigated it thoroughly in a short period of time. This precise judgment and terrifying execution ability... can only be said to be worthy of being the heir to the wealthy Xie family.

"However, Mr. Xie must care about you, right? Otherwise, why would he be so diligent in helping you take care of everything?" Sister Zhang's face was full of gossip.

Ning Chuchu smiled casually and lightly, her peach blossom eyes were calm and peaceful, without the slightest shyness or emotion.

Sister Zhang had a lot of things to do. After she told Ning Chuchu about the facial mask company, she said goodbye in a hurry and left.

In the following time, Ning Chuchu forced herself to forget about this matter and concentrate on the filming. After waiting for the crew to finish work, Ning Chuchu went straight to her hotel residence and casually sent her assistant away.

When she was the only one left in the room, Ning Chuchu began to sort out the whole incident from scratch in this quiet and private environment.

At first, she received a notice from the company, forcing her to promote a facial mask from a third- or fifth-brand during the live broadcast.

She felt dissatisfied and thought that everything was covered by the system anyway, so she recklessly told the truth during the live broadcast, and then revealed that the lead content of the mask exceeded the standard, and the live broadcast ended abruptly.

In the end, she got an endorsement, achieved extremely high sales of the endorsed product, and once again received official recognition.

Originally, if this matter had ended here, it would have been just an ordinary case of counterattack relying on the truth system, which Ning Chuchu had done many times before.

But Yun Yirou's intervention made this matter less ordinary.

At first, Ning Chuchu thought that Yun Yirou relied on the jade bracelet and was deliberately trying to harm her. She had thought that she would strike back and teach her a lesson when she returned to the Love Variety Show to participate in the recording in a few days, but she didn't expect that Yun Shu was involved.

Ning Chuchu's stepmother was a man of deep scheming. Under her soft exterior, she was ruthless and resolute. Ning Chuchu suffered a lot at her hands when she was little. It was also under the influence of this stepmother that she gradually learned to behave like a weak and green tea girl.

If Yunshu had a hand in this matter, Ning Chuchu was very worried that they would have another trick up their sleeve.

However... Ning Chuchu smiled slightly, and suddenly began to talk to herself in the silent room.

"It was Yun Yirou who forced me to sell the mask without any quality certification..." She conspired with Yun Shu and her daughter.

Ning Chuchu tried to speak out her guess, but it was immediately forced to be corrected by the truth system.

"...It was Yun Yirou's own idea."

After hearing what she said, Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned.

This matter was actually the work of Yun Yirou alone? No wonder the plan was so crude. But why did she include her own mother in the plan?

Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment and said, "Yun Yirou doesn't know that the boss behind that three-no facial mask company is her mother."

Her guess came out smoothly without triggering the system's correction process, proving that she was right!

System: "...You really treat me like a detective system, don't you? =皿="

Ning Chuchu smiled slyly: "Don't be so stingy!"

Then, she began to try them one by one to verify her guess.

"The reason why Yun Yirou wanted to force me to sell quality-unqualified facial masks on live streaming was to force me to lie... and also to create some trouble for me." Ning Chuchu touched her chin.

Sure enough, Yun Yiro and the jade bracelet were used to deal with her by making her lie.

"That jade bracelet..." Ning Chuchu was about to dig deeper into the origin and function of the jade bracelet, but found that she couldn't say anything.

"What's going on?" Ning Chuchu asked the system in surprise. This was the first time she encountered something that the truth system couldn't handle.

The system explained: "The jade bracelet is an alien invader of this world. His characteristics are not recorded in the rules of the world, so even I cannot know the truth about him."

"Okay." Ning Chuchu shrugged helplessly.

Ning Chuchu began to explore the truth of the matter again. Next, the most important thing.

"The reason why Yunshu founded that facial mask company was to... transfer the Ning family's assets."

The words spoken from his own mouth confirmed Ning Chuchu's guess. Her eyes darkened and her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched into fists.

As expected, Yun Shu had no good intentions at all!

Ning Chuchu snorted coldly, and then used the help of the system to find out clearly how Yun Shu transferred the assets, the amount, and where they were transferred.

After understanding the whole situation, Ning Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she discovered it in time and now it is still not too late to make amends.

By tomorrow, she could expose Yun Shu in public and make her spit out all the wealth she had swallowed without leaving a single drop.

Thinking of this, Ning Chuchu's gratitude to Xie Jinqiu became even stronger.

Although she has a cheating device like the system, which can find out everything Yun Shu does in private, if she wants to confront her and really defeat her, she still needs to produce solid evidence.

Otherwise, if it was just talk, Yun Shu would confuse right and wrong, and if he exposed the matter in front of her, it might give her a chance to fight back.

Ning Chuchu's connections are mainly in the entertainment industry. It would be difficult for her to obtain evidence of Yun Shu's asset transfer alone, and she didn't know how much time it would take.

With Xie Jinqiu's help, it would be different. She could quickly resolve this matter tomorrow and make Yun Shu pay the price.

Ning Chuchu touched her chin and began to think seriously about what gift she should give Xie Jinqiu as a thank you gift. After all, he was a big help.

Of course, the person Ning Chuchu should thank the most should be Yun Yirou.

If she hadn't had such a "brilliant idea" to inexplicably involve Yun Shu's secretly run company, she would probably still be kept in the dark.

At this moment, Ning Chuchu sincerely said to the system: "System, if I hadn't known Yun Yirou for so many years and had a deep understanding of her character, based on what she has done recently, I would have almost thought that Yun Yirou actually loved me deeply."

System: “…Huh?”

Ning Chuchu said confidently, "Look, if she hadn't been so naughty, I might not have become so famous. Every step she carefully planned was actually to help me!"

"If this isn't true love, then what is?"

System: "...No matter how much time has passed, I will still be shocked by your ability to hurt others."

The system was very sure that if Ning Chuchu said this in front of Yun Yiru, she would definitely be very angry.

However, Yun Yirou worked so hard for a long time, but in the end, it all depended on Ning Chuchu's glory and prestige. It was really unfortunate.

But this is her own fault and she can't blame anyone else.

The next day, Ning Chuchu felt a little uneasy at the thought of going home with Xie Jinqiu tonight and confronting that woman Yun Shu.

She, who always performed very well in the crew, unexpectedly had to do many NGs. It was not until Zou Long criticized her with a sullen face that Ning Chuchu reluctantly suppressed her aggrieved thoughts.

When work was about to end, Ning Chuchu received an unsolicited message from Xie Jinqiu for the first time.

"I'll pick you up at the set."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows. Was her fiancé being a little too attentive recently?

Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment and did not refuse this request, but...

"Okay, then be careful not to be discovered by others!"

Just kidding, her career is booming now and she's even participating in a romance variety show, she absolutely cannot be exposed to have a fiancé!

After a while, Xie Jinqiu sent a "good" word.

I don’t know how Xie Jinqiu felt when he was asked by his fiancée to conceal his identity.

Soon, Xie Jinqiu sent a message saying that he had arrived and was driving a very low-key car outside the crew.

Ning Chuchu was very satisfied with his consideration and immediately packed up her things to go find him.

"Hmph, Director Zou praises you every day for nothing. I don't think you're really concentrating on acting. Didn't you fail so many NGs today?" A loud and demanding voice rang out.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the person who came. As expected, Gu Yunfei was staring at her provocatively.

Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously: "Move aside, your bald head is blinding my eyes."

Gu Yunfei: “…” This woman is so hateful. She knows that he cares most about his hairstyle, but she always uses this matter to bully him.

Gu Yunfei looked at her with disdain, very proud and arrogant: "Humph, I'll be done soon, and I'll be able to grow my hair again soon."

Ning Chuchu was busy packing things up, and she was also busy saying, "Your hair won't grow much, I don't know what you are so proud of."

Gu Yunfei: “…” Damn!

His chest heaved violently, and he was obviously very angry. He knew he couldn't argue with Ning Chuchu, but he just wanted to find fault with her.

Seeing Ning Chuchu was in a hurry to leave, he asked unhappily, "Aren't you usually pretending to be diligent and asking Zou Long questions after work every day? Why did you leave so quickly today?"

Ning Chuchu was really annoyed with this childish and difficult brat. She was about to scold him away, but she suddenly thought of Xie Jinqiu waiting at the door of the crew.

Ning Chuchu showed an interested smile on her face. She lifted her hair and deliberately lowered her voice with a hint of ambiguity in her tone: "Of course it's because... there's a handsome guy waiting for me at the door."

Xie Jinqiu is a handsome guy, she didn’t lie~

Hearing this, Gu Yunfei was slightly startled, and then he suddenly became furious, his face flushed with anger, and he asked loudly: "Who? Who is it? You woman...how could you betray my cousin?!"

Ning Chuchu was startled by his loud voice and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one noticed them, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't betray him." Ning Chuchu said confidently. She walked past Gu Yunfei and walked out of the crew in a carefree manner.

"You..." Gu Yunfei wanted to stop her. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it hesitantly, not daring to touch Ning Chuchu's body.

Looking at Ning Chuchu's slender and graceful back, veins popped out on Gu Yunfei's forehead. He snorted coldly, followed her with big strides, and walked beside her closely.

Ning Chuchu's eyes flashed with a sly smile, but she deliberately pretended to be unhappy and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Gu Yunfei glared at her hatefully, his cheeks puffed slightly, but he held back and said nothing.

He secretly made up his mind that when he saw that man later, he would beat him up to vent his anger on his cousin!

The curve of the corners of Ning Chuchu's lips was meaningful. Following the information given by Xie Jinqiu, she arrived at a secluded place and soon saw a black car.

Ning Chuchu walked towards the car with a clear purpose. Following her line of sight, Gu Yunfei soon spotted the car as well.

His face was slightly gloomy. He took a step forward, opened the car door forcefully, and shouted with a stern face: "Asshole, you don't want to live anymore? How dare you..." Prying my cousin's wall?

However, before Gu Yunfei could utter the rest of his harsh words, he suddenly shut his mouth when he saw the handsome man in the back seat. He looked stunned and shocked, like a duck with its neck strangled.

In the car, Xie Jinqiu was closing his eyes to rest. After hearing the noise of the newcomer, Ying Ting frowned, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Those long and sharp eyes glanced over lightly, with a sharp feeling like an approaching blade.

Gu Yunfei faced that knife-like sharp gaze, shrank his neck in fear, and called out in embarrassment: "Cousin, cousin..."

As the awkwardness spread, Ning Chuchu crossed her arms and walked over slowly.

There was a bright and arrogant smile in her eyes, but she pretended to be worried and sighed: "Oh, Xiao Gu, I know you have opinions about me, and you can forget about targeting me on the set, but Jinqiu is you My cousin, how could you be so unreasonable to him?"

"This is so bad." Ning Chuchu acted like an elder and advised gently and patiently.

At this point, Gu Yunfei finally realized that he had been tricked by her. He glared at her depressedly, then turned around to complain to Xie Jinqiu, "Cousin, do you know that she..."

However, Xie Jinqiu frowned slightly, stared at him with deep eyes, and said coldly: "Have you ever targeted Miss Chu...Ning on the set?"

Gu Yunfei looked away uncomfortably and whispered back, "She's targeting me too!"

Xie Jinqiu gently rubbed his brows and said quietly: "I will ask your agent to arrange more work for you to vent your useless energy."

Gu Yunfei's face fell, and he immediately admitted, "Stop it, cousin. I get scolded by the director every day when I act. It's already very painful. Let me take a break!"

Ning Chuchu was not afraid of the excitement and pretended to be worried, "Yeah, Xiao Gu's hair volume is already precarious. If he works too hard, what will happen if his hair doesn't grow back? Can he still be an idol?"

Xie Jinqiu: "..."

Gu Yunfei: “…” If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb!

Xie Jinqiu was already impatient to deal with this cousin anymore, so he only glanced at his hand holding the car frame coolly, and Gu Yunfei, who was spending all day in the studio, retracted his hand.

Then, Xie Jinqiu nodded politely to Ning Chuchu, his face obviously much gentler, "Let's go."

Ning Chuchu walked forward with a smile. Under the death gaze of his cousin, Gu Yunfei could only take a step back and make room for Ning Chuchu.

Then, Gu Yunfei watched his cousin and that annoying woman drive away in a car.

He kicked the stones on the road angrily, like a big dog that had been left behind.

In the car, Ning Chuchu turned her head to look at the rapidly passing scene outside the window, her brows slightly furrowed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

There was a moment of silence in the car, so quiet that they seemed to be able to hear each other's breathing.

Xie Jinqiu was the first to break the silence.

"Did Yunfei cause you any trouble?" Xie Jinqiu looked at her seriously, his dark eyes deep, "I'm sorry, I will discipline him well."

Ning Chuchu looked at him silently, then smiled brightly, speaking in a gentle and tolerant tone, "Hey, Xiao Gu is just a child, so... can you just spank him?"

Xie Jinqiu: "..."

Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, lowered her head uncomfortably and coughed lightly.

Oops, I accidentally said what was in my heart.

Isn't it bad to be so violent in front of her fiancé? Moreover, as soon as Xie Jinqiu helped her a lot, she wanted to beat her cousin...

Ning Chuchu was thinking about it, and saw Xie Jinqiu nodded seriously after thinking for a while, "Okay."

Ning Chuchu: “…”

What to do? She kind of admires this taciturn guy!

Soon, Xie Jinqiu took out a document and handed it to her, indicating concisely: "All the evidence and materials are inside."

Ning Chuchu was shocked and immediately took it and began to read it carefully.

At first she looked at it seriously, but there were a few places that made her frown.

Ning Chuchu has always regarded the Ning family as hers. Since she was young, she has made up her mind not to let Yun Shu and her daughter take advantage of them.

Therefore, even though she is working in the entertainment industry now, she is also consciously learning various business knowledge, and even studied economics in college. Therefore, she still has a deep understanding of some business knowledge.

But she couldn't compare with a business genius like Xie Jinqiu, and there were several parts of this information that were quite complicated, and she was confused.

Ning Chuchu secretly glanced at Xie Jinqiu's cold and handsome side face, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "What does this mean?"

Xie Jinqiu turned to look at her bright and charming face, and was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the document in Ning Chuchu's hand with restraint.

He leaned forward slightly and explained the evidence to her in a low voice.

This was probably the closest they had ever been.

Xie Jinqiu could even feel the fragrance on Ning Chuchu's body. His eyelashes trembled slightly and seemed a little uncomfortable, but he still maintained a cold and calm expression and patiently explained Ning Chuchu's doubts.

Ning Chuchu was looking at the document with full concentration, not distracted. She had no idea how confused the man next to her was.

Along the way, Ning Chuchu raced against time and soon memorized the evidence by heart. She also had a general plan on how to expose the matter later.

Ning Chuchu took a deep breath and said "thank you" to Xie Jinqiu seriously.

Xie Jinqiu's hand on his knee curled up slightly. He lowered his eyes calmly and said "hmm" coldly, seemingly not taking Ning Chuchu's thank you to heart.

Ning Chuchu didn't care about his indifference, she just frowned slightly and thought about something, so she didn't notice it. Xie Jinqiu looked at her calmly several times along the way.

Soon, the two of them rushed to Ning's house together.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar "home" in front of her, Ning Chuchu felt indifferent.

This had ceased to be her home since her mother left.

Although Ning Chuchu still had a gentle and soft smile on her face, only she knew that a fire was burning in her heart.

Moreover, thinking about the bad things that have happened "at home" over the years, the fire burns more and more fiercely.

It made her eager to vent her anger.

Ning Chuchu directly opened the door of the villa and walked in with her head held high.

Her timing was perfect. Ning Guangzhong and Yun Shu were eating in the restaurant. When they heard the movement at the door, they looked up at the same time and were stunned when they saw Ning Chuchu and Xie Jinqiu suddenly appearing.

Especially Yun Shu, her face changed slightly, and she didn't even realize that the spoon in her hand fell to the ground.

Thinking of the recent incident, she felt a little guilty. Yun Shu tried hard to recall her subsequent handling, and after confirming that she had cleaned up perfectly and there should be no handle, she slowly relaxed.

Yun Shu stood up with a look of surprise, and put on her usual gentle and loving stepmother attitude, greeting her warmly, "Hey, Chuchu, why did you come back so suddenly?"

Ning Chuchu raised her chin slightly and said with a half-smile, "This is my home. I can come back whenever I want. Do I need to report it?"

Yun Shu’s expression froze.

Ning Chuchu glanced at Yun Shu with a half-smile, a cold light flashing in her eyes. She crossed her arms and looked at her father with a calm expression, and asked loudly: "Dad, Aunt Yun doesn't seem to welcome me. Don't you want to see your daughter come home?"

At this time, Ning Guangzhong had already stood up with a look of surprise on his face, and he kept saying, "How could that be? Daddy missed you so much!"

As he said this, he glared at Yun Shu obscurely and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"

His beloved daughter has been quite rebellious recently. She is no longer as caring and gentle as before, and she always confronts him. Although Ning Guangzhong is depressed, he is more afraid that there will be a gap between father and daughter.

Yun Shu clenched his fists calmly and clearly saw the emotion of provocation in Ning Chuchu's eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
