Ning Chuchu placed her finger on Xie Jinqiu's number but did not press it for a long time.

Her brows were furrowed, and it was unknown what she was thinking about. While she was deep in thought, a call suddenly came into her mobile phone. The ringtone startled her and quickly brought her back to her senses.

Ning Chuchu looked carefully and found that it was Pei Wang calling.

She immediately put Xie Jinqiu's matter behind her and stopped worrying about whether to call him. She just pressed the call button and prepared to concentrate on dealing with the legendary actor.

Pei Wang's voice was as gentle and elegant as always, but this time it was filled with deep apology, "Ms. Ning, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Ning Chuchu smiled and said, "I should be the one to apologize to you. You have been out of the entertainment industry for so many years. If I hadn't bothered you, you probably wouldn't have so many worries."

The two exchanged pleasantries and tacitly changed the subject. It is more comfortable to chat with someone who is smart and sensible.

However, when he opened his mouth again, Pei Wang suddenly revealed a shocking piece of information, which shocked Ning Chuchu to her core.

Pei Wang sighed, "Ms. Ning, luckily you acted quickly and clarified it directly, otherwise my wife would definitely make trouble with me again."

Madam?!

Pei Wang has a wife? He is married?!

Ning Chuchu's eyes widened instantly, and she was speechless for a moment.

Oh my goodness, this mysterious and aloof legendary actor is actually secretly married? But what really surprised Ning Chuchu was not this, after all, there are many people in the entertainment industry who hide their love affairs.

What she couldn't understand was... why did Pei Wang tell her such an important thing so openly? ! They had only met a few times!

Ning Chuchu felt a little stressed. She calmed herself down, coughed lightly, and asked as naturally as possible: "Mr. Pei, why are you suddenly telling me this? Do I need to keep this a secret?"

There are some things Ning Chuchu must clarify, otherwise what if the fact that Pei Wang is married is unexpectedly revealed in the future and the other party thinks she let the cat out of the bag?

Pei Wang was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected her to ask this question. Then he smiled and said, "Almost no one knows about my marriage. Please, Miss Ning, keep it a secret for me."

Ning Chuchu remained silent.

So...why should you tell her something so important that needs to be kept secret?

Especially since she is bound to the truth system! She cannot lie at all! Now that she knows such a big secret, if someone asks her about it in the future...

Ning Chuchu felt that she had been subjected to unnecessary pressure, and she felt a little unhappy, so she asked directly: "Mr. Pei, we are not very familiar with each other, why are you telling me this? It makes it difficult for me to handle it."

Pei Wang was speechless for a moment after hearing this. He had been in the entertainment industry for so long, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Ning Chuchu who was so straightforward and unpretentious.

He paused, then smiled helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Ning, I just trust your character, so I didn't hide it from you."

"And..." Pei Wang's voice was a little thoughtful, "I always feel that you can figure out that I'm married. After all, you can even cure my insomnia, what else can't you do?"

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Not really! She's not really a charlatan!

"Anyway, thank you very much this time." Pei Wang said solemnly, "I can join the team anytime, and everything is up to you."

"Okay." Ning Chuchu hesitated for a moment, but could only agree helplessly.

After hanging up the call with Pei Wang, Ning Chuchu pondered for a while, and then she suddenly realized that maybe it was a very correct decision for Pei Wang to tell her that he was married.

Due to the nature of the truth system, she often reveals truths that she herself does not even know without knowing it.

Now that Pei Wang has told her in advance that he is married, it can serve as a reminder for her so that she can deliberately avoid topics related to Pei Wang's marriage when she talks in the future.

To prevent Ning Chuchu from accidentally being controlled by the truth system and telling the truth. It can also be regarded as an advance warning for her.

Thinking of this, Ning Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.

She touched her chin, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but murmured: "Fortunately..."

Fortunately, she insisted on clarifying the matter just now, instead of stirring up a scandal with Pei Wang.

Otherwise... getting involved in a scandal with Pei Wang, a married man, would definitely be a time bomb that could explode at any time and become a big black mark for her.

Ning Chuchu's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up in a happy arc.

It feels really good to have made the right choice while sticking to one's heart.

On the night when the scandal broke out and was clarified, the second episode of "My Brothers and Sisters" was released.

Since Ning Chuchu's scandal had been widely circulated before, and she also directly tore apart Yi Jun who was trying to gain popularity, the ratings of this episode were higher than the previous one, and it once set a record for the ratings of "My Brother".

Almost everyone was curious and wanted to see how Ning Chuchu and Yi Jun got along with each other in the show. Was the relationship also full of tension?

After all, Ning Chuchu didn't give Yi Jun any face in her Weibo. She directly said that he was not even a friend, but just a colleague who was trying to gain popularity. This was simply trampling on the face of Yi Jun, a movie star.

However, the audience who watched the show with a gossipy mood were amazed by Ning Chuchu's Italian at the very beginning.

Ning Chuchu, with black hair and red dress, freely displayed her beauty and style in the romantic country of Italy. When she opened her red lips and confidently communicated with the locals in Italian, people were even more impressed by her powerful charm.

[Wow, after watching it again, I still think Sister Ning is so cool when she speaks Italian! ]

[Sister Ning, my wife! My wife! How can you be so perfect?! You are beautiful, have great acting skills, and even speak Italian so well! I feel inferior, I am not worthy of you!]

[Sister Ning is really amazing! She communicated with the locals in a foreign country freely, purchased the materials required by the program team in an orderly manner, and after completing the task ahead of time, she also carefully bought gifts for other guests... This is too thoughtful! Is there anything in the world that Sister Ning can't do? ]

[I'm so jealous of Sister Ning's confident and graceful attitude. I always act like a quail when I'm in a crowded place... Can Sister Ning open a class to teach me? Let's start with how to be rude to others! ]

As Ning Chuchu expected, her performance in the variety show was widely recognized, adding fuel to her popularity.

Due to her outstanding performance, she is now almost omnipotent in people's eyes.

These are the trends that Ning Chuchu likes to see. But the only thing that makes her a little depressed is that she and Xie Jinqiu have avoided suspicion to the extreme in variety shows, but why...are there still so-called CP fans? !

[I discovered a secret. Mr. Xie often peeks at Sister Ning! ]

[Why do I feel like... Xie always seems to be a bit mysteriously kind...]

[Every time Sister Ning buys something, Mr. Xie will obediently carry the bag, hahaha! ]

[Since he couldn't carry it himself, he asked his cousin to do it. Gu Yunfei, what a pity.]

[Didn’t you notice? All of Mr. Xie’s coolness doesn’t exist in front of Sister Ning! ]

[A cool, taciturn, reserved and abstinent person x a charming and wealthy woman! Who is being craved? I am being craved! ]

[Hey guys, I got it again! So what is this couple called? "Thank you Ning"? 】

【Hahahaha! First there was "Ning Pei Ma", then there was "Xie Xie Ning", why are all Ning Jie's CP names so funny! 】

[Are they a good match? Is this couple a BE? I haven’t seen them in the same frame for a long time! It’s so sad…]

[Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of a question! Maybe Pei Wang and Ning Jie's CP can inherit the CP name "Ning Pei Ma". [Seriously]]

[What the hell is inheritance? ! We haven't finished "Are We a Match" yet! In the coming time, the finale of "Love" will be held and the guests from each group will hold hands. I firmly believe that Sister Ning and Pei Xingyan will choose each other! ]

Ning Chuchu looked at the various speculations and divergences about her CP and frowned in pain.

In a sense, CP also represents popularity. In the past, she might have been happy with this traffic, but now... if she hypes up CP with others, it will only make others take advantage of her, which is almost useless for Ning Chuchu's career.

So, she just wants to be beautiful alone and act well!

Ning Chuchu sighed tiredly, but fortunately, as the main program of the variety show continued, other things gradually occupied the audience's thinking space, and soon everyone started discussing other topics.

[Sister Ning is so thoughtful, she bought gifts for everyone! ]

[It's so funny, Hu Jiayu should really drink some chrysanthemum tea to calm down, and stop being so sarcastic about others all day long! ]

[What is the book that Sister Ning gave to Yi Jun? I can’t understand the foreign language. ]

[Fuck... I Googled it back... The book Sister Ning gave me tells the story of a scumbag who was killed by his ex-wife and mistress! ]

【??? Such a huge amount of information! 】

[Sister Ning really dislikes Yi Jun! She really didn’t give him face at all when she issued a clarification statement today, hahaha! ]

[But this book... is Sister Ning hinting at something? ]

[Hey guys! Is this a preview of the Hammer?!]

…

After seeing the relevant comments from the audience in the variety show, Yi Jun smashed a set of tea sets at home again.

He ran into the bedroom with a gloomy face and quickly found the book that Ning Chuchu gave him in the variety show.

The string of foreign words on the cover seemed to mock Yi Jun's stupidity and illiteracy. Thinking back to when he had thanked Ning Chuchu with great gratitude and repeatedly promised that he would read the book carefully... Yi Jun felt his cheeks burning.

He gasped a few times, and impulsively tore the book into pieces. Not satisfied with tearing it into pieces, he even stomped on it a few times.

Yi Jun didn't understand why Ning Chuchu disliked him? Didn't he remember offending her?

Moreover, when he first started recording the show, he could feel Ning Chuchu's special attention to him and thought she liked him. However, he was slapped in the face by her every time for several times in a row.

Yi Jun walked to the sofa and leaned back relaxingly.

After he calmed down gradually, he suddenly thought of a question - so, why did Ning Chuchu give him such a book?

The scumbag cheated on his wife, and was finally torn apart by his original wife and mistress... Yi Jun shuddered and his face suddenly darkened.

This plot... Could it be that she knew that he was dating multiple men and was using this book to criticize and satirize him?

This guess immediately made Yi Jun feel uneasy.

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense for Ning Chuchu to know such a secret thing, but her behavior really doesn't make sense...

Yi Jun's heart was immediately raised. He was always cautious and would always prepare for the worst before doing anything. He frowned for a moment, then immediately picked up his phone and made a call.

It is time to put his plan into action as soon as possible.

The second season of "My Brothers and Sisters" was very successful and received a great response.

Ning Chuchu is very satisfied with the improvement in her image brought by this variety show. Except for the inexplicably large number of "Xie Xie Ning" CP fans, she is a little depressed...

I thought this episode had ended successfully, but at the end of the show, when the segment of Ning Chuchu fishing was broadcast, it caused an uproar.

It even pushed the scandal between Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang, which had already been resolved, into the spotlight again.

It all started with Ning Chuchu pointing someone to the toilet, but things suddenly developed into something she could never have imagined...

At first, people were just talking about how Sister Yu Ning enthusiastically helped people find the toilet and her incredible fishing skills, until a long-time die-hard fan of actor Pei Wang on Weibo excitedly stated that the fisherman in black clothes and a black hat was actor Pei!

The whole network was shocked.

Soon, more and more details were revealed. From the figure of the man in black, his walking posture, and the watch on his wrist, the Sherlock Holmes on the Internet determined the identity of the man in black through various details - it was the movie star Pei Wang!

When Ning Chuchu first heard the news, she was so shocked that she was speechless. She immediately watched the clip of her interactions with the fisherman in "My Brother" over and over again, and then she was sure... this person was really Pei Wang!

Ning Chuchu was speechless and choked with emotion. Why didn’t Pei Wang say it before?

However, when Ning Chuchu thought of Pei Wang anxiously asking her where the toilet was, she couldn't help laughing.

Well, if it were her, she wouldn't say it.

After a while, Ning Chuchu's smile suddenly froze on her face. She immediately flipped through the Weibo post she had posted earlier to clarify the matter, and then fell silent.

"I would like to point out that apart from the recent meeting with Mr. Pei for film collaboration, we have never had any contact before, so the scandal is completely fabricated. Please respect us and stop making unwarranted speculations."

These were her own words. At this moment, they turned into a boomerang and pierced her body.

Ning Chuchu frowned in bitterness and resentment. Has she been slapped in the face by herself too many times recently?

As expected, netizens also discovered this highlight.

[Hahaha, Sister Ning got slapped in the face on the spot! ]

[This is so funny. Didn't Mr. Pei tell Sister Ning that they had met in Italy before? ]

[The movie king has his idol burden! 】

[Sister Ning now recalls the time when she acted like a bitch in front of the movie king. Doesn't she feel embarrassed? ]

["Do you need a signature?", "If it's not important, don't ask."]

[I finally understand why the fisherman in the show was always silent. It turns out that he was speechless because of Sister Ning! ]

[Family, don’t you think it’s great? We can meet by chance in a foreign country, it’s like a plot from a novel! ]

[This is a dramatic first meeting, and the two of them will play the male and female protagonists together in the future... It would be unjust if they didn't get together! ]

[Wuwuwu, I don’t care, I got it! 】

The news that Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang had a previous relationship during the recording of the variety show quickly spread.

The idol drama-like encounter and the funny and unexpectedly harmonious atmosphere when the two were together suddenly gave Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang a layer of CP halo that they were a great match.

For a while, the scandal between Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang was clarified, but not completely clarified...

Anyway, the internet is buzzing with excitement right now with the CP fans of Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang going crazy.

Ning Chuchu looked at the increasingly powerful CP fans, and then thought about Pei Wang's married status, and she felt a real headache.

But she couldn't control other people's thoughts, nor could she honestly tell everyone that Pei Wang was married and that it would be fruitless to stop him, so she was in a dilemma for a while.

After comparing her CP with that of a married man, Ning Chuchu even felt that her CP with Xie Jinqiu was not so difficult to accept.

So...what can be done to make her and Pei Wang's CP disappear?

Just as Ning Chuchu was racking her brains for a solution, her cell phone suddenly rang.

The three words "Mr. Xie" appeared clearly in front of Ning Chuchu on the screen, stirring her tense nerves.

Ning Chuchu sighed softly, and before answering the phone, the last thought in her mind was - it's better to be single.

"Hello?" Ning Chuchu asked indifferently.

At that moment, many thoughts ran through her mind. Is Xie Jinqiu here to investigate? Or to test whether she really has anything to do with Pei Wang? Or maybe you want to warn her not to engage in these messy scandals?

However, as soon as Xie Jinqiu spoke, the content of his words stunned Ning Chuchu for a moment.

"Ms. Ning, have you been investigating your stepmother recently?"

Ning Chuchu was slightly startled, and then she narrowed her eyes in alertness, "How do you know?"

She had just found someone to investigate Yun Shu. How could Xie Jinqiu be so well-informed?

Xie Jinqiu's voice was as magnetic and cold as ever, but his tone was gentle. He seemed to be aware of Ning Chuchu's vigilance and suspicion, and immediately explained in an orderly manner: "Miss Ning, the private detective you contacted is not reliable. He once tried to resell the information that you found him to others. Fortunately, I Bian got the news in advance and intercepted it in time. "

"Don't worry, I've taken care of this matter. That person won't say anything nonsense again."

When Ning Chuchu heard this, she was shocked at first, and then she felt a little guilty.

In this way, Xie Jinqiu first took the initiative to help her, and now he called her specifically to remind her that he was very kind-hearted, but she initially speculated about him in a bad direction...

Ning Chuchu coughed uncomfortably and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

"It's OK."

Ning Chuchu thought about it and realized that it would be a bit troublesome if she allowed the private detective to sell her information.

If Yun Shu got the news in advance and prepared a plan to deal with her, it would be much more troublesome for her to deal with Yun Shu.

Thinking of this, Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes dangerously. It was true that people die for money and birds die for food. The private detective could have earned her money peacefully, but he was greedy and did such a wicked thing as stabbing the customer in the back.

Therefore, he will not be able to survive in this circle in the future. Ning Chuchu will also make him pay for his greed.

Just when Ning Chuchu was thinking about how to find a reliable person to investigate the matter, Xie Jinqiu took the initiative to speak again.

"Do you want to investigate Yun Shu? I can introduce you to a reliable person." Xie Jinqiu's voice was cold, but his words were very considerate. "I will give you his contact information. If you contact him directly, he will tell you everything about you." Confidential."

The implication is that Xie Jinqiu herself will not know about Ning Chuchu's family affairs, so she can safely cooperate with this person.

Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously wanted to agree immediately. But before she opened her mouth, she hesitated for some reason.

Just now, she had seriously examined her relationship with Xie Jinqiu, and even wavered for a time. At this critical moment when she was hesitating, she didn't want to owe Xie Jinqiu a favor.

Too many personal connections would only complicate their relationship.

It will also make it difficult for her to make decisions.

However, Ning Chuchu is not such a rigid person who doesn't know how to adapt. Since Xie Jinqiu has reliable connections, she doesn't have to fight on her own. If you find someone unreliable again, it will be even more troublesome.

Ning Chuchu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie."

Xie Jinqiu, who was on the other end of the phone, was slightly startled, and the fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

In the beginning, Ning Chuchu always called him "Jinqiu" sweetly and gently; later, she would only call him "Jinqiu" gently in private, but in public she would call him "Mr. Xie" to avoid suspicion.

But why did she call him "Mr. Xie" in such a distant and polite way when they were obviously the only two people talking on the phone?

Xie Jinqiu would rather believe that she is just used to it.

"It's okay." Xie Jinqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly and he responded softly.

"By the way, I remember that Xie's beauty department has recently launched a few new products?" Ning Chuchu said with a smile, "I will promote them for free, and in two days I will find time to do a private live broadcast to help you promote the products."

Xie Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "No need."

"Yes." Ning Chuchu smiled politely, "You helped me so much, of course I have to return the favor."

Ning Chuchu is now extremely popular, and her net worth is naturally rising. Some brands have trouble lining up to work with her. Even entertainment industry giants like Xie have to be polite when they want to work with her.

Ning Chuchu is now focusing on filming movies and rarely attends promotions, let alone live streaming to sell goods.

She was willing to promote the Hsieh Beauty Department, so you can imagine how much profit she could bring to them. Moreover, she promised to promote for free, which was like a godsend for Hsieh.

However, Xie Jinqiu himself felt no excitement at all, and his heart sank deeper and deeper.

Others might define Ning Chuchu's behavior as repaying a favor, and those who know the inside story might even think that Ning Chuchu was only thinking about her fiancé.

But Xie Jinqiu is a smart man, and he tasted something unusual from Ning Chuchu's behavior.

Ning Chuchu did this... seemingly just because she didn't want to owe him anything.

This behavior, which was similar to drawing a clear line, made Xie Jinqiu's eyes darken.

At this moment, Ning Chuchu spoke at the right time, "By the way, Mr. Xie, may I ask, what do you think of our engagement?"

Xie Jinqiu's eyes were slightly closed, and he squeezed the pen in his hand unconsciously. There were faint veins on the back of his hand.
