Xie Jinqiu's mind was sharp and he quickly noticed something strange in Ning Chuchu's unusual words and deeds.

His fiancée...no longer seems to value this relationship as much as before.

Xie Jinqiu felt mixed emotions in his heart, as if his heart was being squeezed by a big hand, and there was a sour feeling that made him unfamiliar and frightened.

He has always been a quiet and reserved person, and has never thought about speaking out his secret thoughts. He always feels that he and Ning Chuchu are engaged, and there is always a long time to go, so they can spend the rest of their lives slowly cultivating their feelings.

Until now, Xie Jinqiu suddenly realized that once this marriage relationship was gone, they would have no so-called long future.

And he couldn't keep the willful and spontaneous person.

"Hello, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Jinqiu was silent for too long, and Ning Chuchu asked again in confusion.

Xie Jinqiu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear. He calmed down and said word by word: "I feel...very good."

It's great that we're engaged.

This time it was Ning Chuchu's turn to remain silent.

Xie Jinqiu's unexpectedly candid answer caught Ning Chuchu off guard. She rubbed her brows in distress, not knowing what to say in reply.

I thought that for a person as cold as Xie Jinqiu, his answers would be lukewarm and alienated. In this case, Ning Chuchu may be able to make up her mind to rethink their relationship.

But Xie Jinqiu actually said "very good", which meant that he was very satisfied with her as his fiancée?

If it were in the past, Ning Chuchu would have been happy and proud, but now...

She sighed silently and decided to calm down for a while. At least, she should not make a decision rashly without thinking it through.

So Ning Chuchu smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Mr. Xie, please help me make some connections. I will also promote Xie's new beauty products as soon as possible."

Ning Chuchu's business-like tone made Xie Jinqiu frown tightly. His thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said a soft "hmm".

Xie Jinqiu looked at the gradually darkening screen of his mobile phone, his eyes unpredictable, and he did not move for a long time.

Seeing that the matter had been said, the two fell into an unspeakable silence. Ning Chuchu was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly she had an idea and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Xie Jinqiu was silent for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his voice, "What should I ask?"

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She tried to hold back, but couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked tentatively, "You must have seen the scandal between me and Pei Wang, right? Don't you have anything to say?"

Xie Jinqiu tapped his slender fingers on the table twice and said after careful consideration: "You have already clarified it."

What this means is that he didn't take this groundless scandal seriously at all.

Ning Chuchu didn't know whether he was pretending to be generous or really didn't care, so she responded half-heartedly. She said, "Pei Wang and I have only known each other for a short time. We only met because we were going to work together on a movie. Don't take those things on the Internet to heart."

No matter what, she and Xie Jinqiu are still an unmarried couple. Her scandal caused a stir on the Internet. Even though the two of them knew it was false, Ning Chuchu should explain it to him in person, both emotionally and rationally.

Xie Jinqiu's eyes suddenly softened, "I know."

Ning Chuchu also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. Since everything had been dealt with, she simply hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Xie Jinqiu looked at the slowly darkening screen of his phone and did not move for a long time.

Ning Chuchu sighed softly. She had never expected that what she had thought was a perfect marriage would become a bondage.

But her engagement to Xie Jinqiu was too closely related. Talking to her mother about Qingzhu and the entire Xie family were involved, and she also had to consider Ning Guangzhong, who was eyeing her. Therefore, she cannot act rashly until she is truly sure of her thoughts.

Soon, Ning Chuchu received the contact information from Xie Jinqiu. The person he helped introduce was very mysterious. Not only did he not show his face when communicating with Ning Chuchu, he even wore a voice changer.

If Xie Jinqiu hadn't recommended him, Ning Chuchu wouldn't have dared to believe him easily.

The other party was very decisive. After listening to Ning Chuchu's explanation of what she wanted to investigate, he immediately agreed. He then quoted the reward he needed.

"So little?" Ning Chuchu was a little shocked.

The unreliable private detective she had hired before offered three times as much as this guy!

There was silence for a while, and then a few words were stiffly uttered, "There's a promotion going on recently, with discounts."

Ning Chuchu: “…”Okay.

After that person said the word "discount", even he himself felt it was nonsense and his ears couldn't help but turn red.

He has a strict mouth and is very efficient, so the price for hiring him will certainly not be low. It's just that Xie Jinqiu has paid him most of the money in advance and repeatedly told him not to talk to Ning Chuchu. Moreover, he was not allowed to tell anyone about it.

The hacker really couldn't understand what his employer, Mr. Xie, was thinking.

Since he wanted to be attentive to Miss Ning, he should let her know everything he had done behind the scenes. Why should he keep it a secret?

Don't you want to make Miss Ning feel burdened?

He is so taciturn, no wonder Miss Ning is so lukewarm towards him.

The hacker was about to hang up the phone while muttering to himself. Ning Chuchu stopped him and said in a stern voice, "By the way, I want you to help me find a person named 'Hongwu'. This person may also be the key to finding Yunshu."

The hacker agreed immediately, "No problem. If you are sure that the clue you provided is crucial, it will be easier to investigate. Maybe I can give you the result quickly."

"Okay, that's troublesome."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Chuchu sighed softly.

Since she could use money to find out the truth and collect solid evidence at the same time, she no longer needed to rack her brains to test the truth system.

After all, even if she used the system to test out the truth, she would still need witnesses and physical evidence when she finally wanted to deal with Yun Shu.

Therefore, she just waited patiently for the hacker's investigation results.

She shouldn't have to wait too long.

Putting Yun Shu's matter aside for the moment, Ning Chuchu was occupied by another matter. That is... how can she and Pei Wang break up their relationship? !

Fortunately, Ning Chuchu clarified the matter in a timely and decisive manner. Almost everyone is aware of her attitude, and some of those who support the couple are just trying to stir up trouble.

In addition, the fighting power of Ning Chuchu's fans who only support her and her career is still very strong. After the company team stepped forward to guide them, they quickly suppressed this pair of emerging CP fans.

[Everyone, please stop randomly pairing them up. Chu Chu and Mr. Pei are just friends. This will make both of them embarrassed! ]

[Are those who are posting CP too ky? Didn’t you see how decisive Ning Jie’s statement on Weibo was? It’s obvious that she doesn’t want to spread a scandal. ]

[Yes, if you really like Sister Ning, then respect her choice! Sister Ning definitely wants everyone to pay attention to her work instead of making rumors about her love life...]

Fortunately, Ning Chuchu and Pei Wang had no relationship at all, and the storm soon subsided.

Ning Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief and secretly made up her mind that she would be more careful to keep a distance from Pei Wang when they worked together in the future. Otherwise, she would be tainted by baseless rumors.

Not only Pei Wang, but you should also keep your distance from other men!

Can hyping up CP make her a movie queen? No!

The wisest thing to do is to act well!

Ning Chuchu decided to close her heart and lock away her love from now on, becoming a lone wolf in the entertainment industry and never giving any man the chance to take advantage of her popularity.

As for her fiancé... Ning Chuchu felt a headache when she thought about it, but she really couldn't make up her mind to immediately end this relationship that she had carefully maintained for two or three years.

After all, there is too much involved. It's not just about her and Xie Jinqiu, but also about both families...

Ning Chuchu could only sigh helplessly in her heart and put this troublesome matter behind her for the time being.

Just focus on bringing your career to the top first!

Soon, Ning Chuchu participated in the recording of the third episode of "My Brothers and Sisters" again.

The recording location this time was at a scenic spot in China. From the moment the guests officially gathered, the program team had already started the live broadcast. The number of viewers for this live broadcast once again set a new record.

Because it had just been a short time since Ning Chuchu posted on Weibo to tear Yi Jun apart for gaining popularity, everyone was very curious about what the scene would be like when these two met again.

Is the situation tense? Or is it just a tacit attempt to whitewash the situation?

No matter which one it is, the audience is itching with curiosity.

After the guests met, there was a routine exchange of polite greetings. Yi Jun was indeed someone who had been working in the entertainment industry for many years. He still had a gentle and elegant smile on his face and was very friendly to everyone.

Including Ning Chuchu, who had embarrassed him many times.

"Hi, Chuchu, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Yi Jun waved to Ning Chuchu calmly, with a friendly and warm smile, as if they had never had any conflict before.

Seeing Yi Jun's "high emotional intelligence" performance, the live broadcast screen was full of amazement.

[As expected, people in the entertainment industry have a strong heart. This one is so pretentious! ]

[Well... I can only say that it makes sense that Yi Jun won the Best Actor award. ]

[This acting skill is truly worthy of the title! [狗头]]

[People in the entertainment industry are so fake! They are so scheming and yet they can’t even quarrel with each other. This is the most hypocritical “workplace”! ]

Following Yi Jun's proactive greeting, the camera turned and Ning Chuchu's charming and bright face appeared on the live screen.

At this time, the newly crowned actor Yi Jun was smiling and greeting her. Considering the "grudge" between Ning Chuchu and Yi Jun, Yi Jun took the initiative to bow his head to Ning Chuchu, and it was obvious that he wanted to break the ice with Ning Chuchu in front of the camera.

Yi Jun had personally delivered the stairs to Ning Chuchu's feet. At this moment, any person in the circle would go down the stairs and create a superficial peace.

The adult world is so hypocritical, and people in the entertainment industry live their lives wearing masks.

However, Ning Chuchu is indeed not an ordinary person.

In the face of Yi Jun's implicit show of goodwill, Ning Chuchu's reaction was to put on sunglasses in front of him in a noble and cold manner, then walk past him leisurely with her head held high and her chest puffed out in high heels.

This blatant disregard was like a loud slap in the face to Yi Jun.

Ning Chuchu didn't say a word and didn't give Yi Jun any face at all.

She is like a proud and arrogant queen. No unspoken rules in the world can restrain her. She is as unbridled as a gust of wind that can never be controlled.

Xie Jinqiu watched her proudly leave Yi Jun behind, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a gentle smile overflowed from her eyes.

Ning Chuchu walked past Yi Jun at ease. When she passed by his sister Yi Wen, she nodded kindly and gently, "Sister Yi, you look pretty good lately."

Yi Wen glanced at her brother's stiff back, then turned to Ning Chuchu and showed her a sincere and reserved smile, "Miss Ning, you... you are also very, very beautiful."

Her face flushed a little, and she seemed not used to praising others so bluntly.

When Ning Chuchu heard this, the curve of her lips widened and her smile became more obvious.

Ning Chuchu's attitude towards Yi Wen and Yi Jun is completely different. This blatant difference in treatment almost makes Yi Jun unable to maintain his mask of gentleness and elegance.

The smile on his lips froze, and he was relying on his determination to remain calm.

He was furious, and he really didn't understand why there was a female star like Ning Chuchu. She was stubborn, arrogant, and ruthless when she hit someone in the face, which made him so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Why...why do audiences tolerate such an arrogant woman? !

[The above person is wrong. Not everyone in the entertainment industry is fake and wearing a mask. Because - we still have the most genuine and unpretentious Sister Ning! ]

[Hahaha! Sister Ning will never let me down! ]

[Ahhh, Sister Ning is so handsome that I'm rolling on the ground! ]

[I actually hate people who are arrogant, but why is Sister Ning's arrogance so intrusive... I can't hate it at all! ]

[I think it’s because…compared to Yi Jun’s hypocrisy and concealment, Sister Ning’s frankness and freedom are particularly rare.]

[That's right! The two of them have already torn their faces apart, what's the point of pretending to be harmonious? Sister Ning's open disregard is obviously more real! Who wants to watch Yi Jun acting in a variety show? It's so disgusting! ]

[Sister Ning is very polite to normal people. She is very polite to Yi Wen~]

[Sister Ning, the most unique fireworks in the entertainment industry! ]

Ning Chuchu acted straightforwardly, and not only did no one scold her for being impolite, but she received a lot of praise. This strange popularity among passers-by really made people in the circle jealous, but they could do nothing about it.

Yi Jun is a smart man. After being ruthlessly humiliated by Ning Chuchu, he has realized the reality: he is really not liked by Ning Chuchu, and Ning Chuchu is too lazy to even put on a show.

So, from then on, Yi Jun behaved himself and tried his best not to have any contact with Ning Chuchu.

But when his sister Yi Wen was chatting and laughing with Ning Chuchu, his eyes would subtly pass over the two of them, with a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes.

Before the recording of today's program officially started, the program team first gave all the guests a small gadget similar to a brooch and asked them to wear it on their chests, calling it a badge of honor.

Then, the program team announced that they would conduct a one-on-one interview with all the guests. Each guest walked into the "small black room" one by one and answered a variety of questions at random.

After the interview is completed, recording will continue.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully as the program team explained the interview rules. She lowered her head calmly and glanced at the "badge" on her chest, and she felt that this so-called interview might be a bit sloppy.

At the same time, on the program's live broadcast interface, host Du Feng said to the audience with a mysterious look on his face: "My dear audience friends, what the guests wore on their chests just now is not a badge, but a new 'black technology' called a heartbeat meter."

"It can monitor a person's heartbeat. When the heartbeat speeds up, it may mean that the person is lying and feels guilty."

"If his heartbeat speeds up when someone is mentioned, it means... he is very likely to be attracted to that person!"

"The guests did not know about this in advance, and now they are queuing up for the interview. Do you want to know the specific content of the interview and the performance of the guests? Welcome to pay attention to the third episode of "My Brothers and Sisters" to be aired next week!"

As soon as the host finished explaining the hidden cat-smell in this interview, the live broadcast room instantly went haywire.

[The program group is such a jerk! ]

[Ahhh, I want to see it! I want to see it right now! ]

[I bet a coin that the program organizer will definitely ask Sister Ning how she feels about the award-winning actor Pei Wang...]

【@"My Brother" program team, the last person who tried to take advantage of Ning Jie's popularity has already been torn apart. You should be careful about who you are targeting, right? You dare to trick Ning Jie? Don't want to live anymore! 】

[I believe Sister Ning for no reason. Waiting for Sister Ning to fight back against the program team, hehe! ]

…

More than an hour later, all the guests finished their interviews one after another.

Then, the program team gathered all the guests together, and the host Du Feng smiled and repeated to the guests what he had just explained to the audience.

When the guests learned that the little gadget on their chest could monitor their heartbeats and even predict whether they were lying, their expressions varied, which was truly exciting.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows in surprise. She had long guessed that there was cat poop in this process, but she had never thought that there would be such a black technology. Thinking of the question she had just been asked, her eyes narrowed dangerously.

This program crew is not content with what they have, they really deserve a reward.

Ning Chuchu looked calm and composed, with a peaceful look in her eyes. She didn't seem to feel guilty at all, which made people even more curious about what questions she was asked.

As for the rest…

Yi Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced away guiltily; Yi Wen's body stiffened, and she could not hide the panic on her face at all, and she even looked like tears of shame were about to overflow from her eyes.

Hu Jiayu angrily questioned the program team, accusing them of deceiving the guests and threatening them not to release the interview content. Her uproarious behavior actually exposed herself and made it clear to everyone that this popular young actress must have lied a lot just now.

Hu Jialing, Hu Jiayu's sister who had no sense of existence, was slightly stunned after hearing this rule. Then she lowered her head uneasily, her eyes changing, as if she was thinking about whether there was any problem with her answer just now.

Sui Feng rolled his eyes slightly, obviously finding the show crew's behavior boring. His expression was frank, without the slightest hint of guilt or panic.

Gu Yunfei was in the same state. The silly boy stroked his short green stubble and asked in confusion: "What is a heartbeat meter? How can it detect whether we are lying?"

"Also, why would we lie? Isn't it just a small interview? No one would lie, right?" Gu Yunfei was so naive and stupid that it was impossible to look at him directly.

What many people didn't notice was that Xie Jinqiu, who had always been calm and indifferent, had a somewhat strange look on his face.

His brows were knitted, his thin, nice-shaped lips were tightly pursed, and his handsome face was more serious than when he was handling official business. He glanced at Ning Chuchu calmly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Unfortunately, Ning Chuchu failed to receive Xie Jinqiu's eye signals in time. She followed the program crew's footsteps with ease and continued to participate in the recording of the program.

After the third episode of "My Brothers and Sisters" was finished, Ning Chuchu immediately rushed to prepare for the start of filming of the movie "Hunter".

Finally, on an auspicious day, the filming of "Hunter" officially started.

This was the first time Ning Chuchu saw Pei Wang since that day when they ate roast duck.

For the power-on ceremony, Pei Wang wore a rather formal suit today, which made him look handsome, elegant and graceful.

However, when Ning Chuchu sees him now, she will remember the time when he asked her sneakily "where is the toilet"...

Ning Chuchu tried hard to hold back her grin, and deliberately coughed lightly in front of Pei Wang, saying, "Mr. Pei, you can ask me to go fishing with you next time. I'm still lucky."

Pei Wang: “…”

Looking at the teasing smile on Ning Chuchu's face, Pei Wang rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and sighed softly.

He had made up his mind to hide the matter from Miss Ning, but he never expected... that it would be exposed by the Sherlock Holmes on the Internet so quickly.

Thinking of how he had hurriedly asked for directions to the toilet, and yet couldn't catch a single fish, Pei Wang inexplicably felt a sense of sadness that his integrity had been lost...

He coughed calmly and said, "Okay, I'll ask Miss Ning for advice on fishing techniques later."

The two of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Ning Chuchu was very satisfied with this. She was determined to learn more from Pei Wang, the legendary actor, through this cooperation, so she must have a good relationship with Pei Wang.

Of course, Ning Chuchu was extremely careful to keep a distance from Pei Wang, and was also very careful in her words and actions, with a clear sense of boundaries.

After all, Pei Wang is a married man, and Ning Chuchu doesn't want any more scandals between them.

On the first day of filming, everything went smoothly. When work was about to end in the evening, Ning Chuchu rubbed her shoulders while pushing open the door of the dressing room, intending to quickly remove her makeup and rest.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she stopped in her tracks.

This dressing room is shared by several leading actors. In addition to her and Pei Wang, the second and third female characters also use it.

At this moment, there were only two people in the dressing room, one was Pei Wang, and the other was a gentle and pretty woman.

Ning Chuchu guessed at a glance that this was probably Pei Wang's secretly married wife. She smiled apologetically at them and immediately turned around to leave the dressing room so as not to disturb them.

Pei Wang took the initiative to call her and introduced her, "Miss Ning, this is my wife, you can just call her Shu Ya."

"Hello, Sister Shuya." Ning Chuchu smiled and extended her hand to her.

Her eyes fell on the other person's gentle smile, and a thought flashed through her mind.

The name Shuya... somehow sounds familiar?

Ning Chuchu didn't have time to investigate further, because the other party had already shaken her hand kindly and calmly, "Hello, Miss Ning. You are even prettier than in the camera, no wonder so many men love to be attentive to you."

Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, and then the smile on her lips faded a little.

At this moment, Pei Wang suddenly received a phone call, and said to his wife, "Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Then he left in a hurry.

Thus, only Ning Chuchu and the movie emperor's wife were left in the huge dressing room.

Ning Chuchu was just about to show her hospitality by inviting her to sit anywhere. However, the next second, she witnessed the man in front of her changing his face.

After Pei Wang left, the gentle smile on the face of the movie emperor's wife disappeared in an instant.

She raised her chin slightly, looked at Ning Chuchu with contempt and disgust, and snorted, "Miss Ning, I want to give you a piece of advice: Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are famous now. It is better to be respectful and modest."

Ning Chuchu: “……???”

My fist is hard. :)
