Chapter 242: For her, it was salvation.
Qiao Xingjia yelled at him, "Qin Yancheng, don't act on your own! I didn't agree!"
The little star in my arms trembled, and her little mouth twitched as if she was about to cry.
Shen Qingshu gently patted Xiao Xingchen's chest, "You need to control your temper, you scared Xiao Xingchen."
Qiao Xingjia patted her son's bottom and gently coaxed him a few times.
Little Star's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Qiao Xingjia looked at her son in her arms and sighed, "A-Shu, I'm just not suited to be a mother."
Shen Qingshu patted her shoulder, "Don't talk nonsense. You deserve the most credit for Xiaoxingchen's beauty and health. Take it slow. The baby is small, and new mothers need an adjustment period. In the end, Dr. Qin is a good husband and a good father. Don't always get stuck on this."
Qiao Xingjia looked at Shen Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, I think being a mother is so hard. How did you manage to get through that situation?"
"Silly girl." Shen Qingshu gave her a reproachful look. "Everyone's situation is different, and their choices are different. You and Dr. Qin are loving and sweet, and having a child is just the icing on the cake. But for me, Xiao Anning is salvation and motivation to live a good life. There's no comparison between them."
"And now?" Qiao Xingjia stared into her eyes. "I questioned Qin Yancheng last night, and he told me everything that has happened over the years. He also said that you plan to fight Fu Siyan for custody of Nian'an."
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "As a mother, I do not approve of Fu Siyan's parenting style, so I plan to fight for custody, but Nian'an is quite willing to stay by Fu Siyan's side now."
Qiao Xingjia said helplessly, "Sons probably tend to favor their fathers more, right?"
“I know, so I don’t plan to force it.” Shen Qingshu sighed softly. “I’ve figured it out. I’ll work hard to earn money and improve myself. I need to make myself someone who can stand up to Fu Siyan at any time, so that if Nian’an asks me for help one day, I will be able to help him.”
At the corner of the stairs, Qin Yancheng listened to Shen Qingshu's words and sighed inwardly.
Although he thought Fu Siyan was a scoundrel, he had to admit that Fu Siyan had won his gamble again.
Shen Qingshu only broke down for one day. When she was discharged from the hospital the next day, Qin Yancheng went to see her.
I wanted to offer some words of comfort and advice, but I didn't expect that Shen Qingshu's condition had changed.
She was very calm, as if the emotional breakdown she experienced the day before had never happened.
Qin Yancheng was shocked. He didn't know whether to say that Fu Siyan understood Shen Qingshu too well or that Shen Qingshu was very resilient, as she had figured it out in just one day.
However, this is for the best. Shen Qingshu has withstood this wave of pressure and clarified her future life goals, and Fu Siyan's purpose has been achieved.
Even if Fu Siyan is gone, Shen Qingshu will be able to live a good life with her two children.
Qin Yancheng shook his head and pushed his suitcase toward the guest room.
…
Downstairs, Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia sat on the living room sofa.
Shen Qingshu picked up Xiao Xingchen and gently tapped his little nose with her fingertip. "The way he frowns when he looks at people is a bit like you."
“They all say she’s a carbon copy of Qin Yancheng.” Qiao Xingjia rolled her eyes. “Anyway, she’s like Qin Yancheng in every good way, and she says she’s like me in her stubbornness.”
"Who said that?" Wen Jingxi asked. "Could it be your in-laws?"
"No, my in-laws are fine." Qiao Xingjia shrugged. "It's just that my mom and aunt always say these things whenever they come over, it's so annoying!"
Wen Jingxi raised an eyebrow, "Your biological mother and aunt?"
“Otherwise what!” Qiao Xingjia sighed. “Sometimes I really can’t understand why my mom’s controlling nature has doubled since I had a child!”
Wen Jingxi pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Garlic bird, garlic bird, that's your own mother, I won't comment!"
Qiao Xingjia: "..."
Qin Yancheng came down from the second floor.
“We still need a crib. I’ll go to the mall and buy a new one.” Qin Yancheng said very sensibly, “Anyway, I feel like the three of us will be staying in Yungui for quite a while in the future.”
Qiao Xingjia: "...Get lost!"
Qin Yancheng chuckled, "I really have to get going now. There's a patient at the hospital who needs surgery, so I'll be going now. Teacher Wen, Miss Shen, I'm entrusting Xingxing and Xiaoxingchen to your care!"
Qiao Xingjia: "You don't need to worry about me, get lost!"
Qin Yancheng frowned, his face darkening. "Qiao Xingjia, come here for a moment. I have something very important to tell you."
"I'm not going!"
"Stars," Shen Qingshu advised her.
Qiao Xingjia was annoyed and reluctantly stood up, walking up to Qin Yancheng. "What is it?"
Qin Yancheng suddenly cupped her chubby face, gave her a light kiss on the lips, and earned a slap in return, a full, solid slap.
"Qin Yancheng, are you crazy?!"
Qin Yancheng chuckled and slipped away, saying, "I'll bring you your favorite durian pastry when I get back tonight!"
"Qin Yancheng, you scoundrel, don't you dare come! If you dare come, I'll beat you to death!"
Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.
Only Qin Yancheng could handle Qiao Xingjia's fiery temper.
…
After lunch, Shen Qingshu drove out.
With Aunt Yun helping out at home, Qiao Xingjia wasn't worried.
Last week, Shen Qingshu officially took over 'Huanxing Entertainment', and she will select a group of artists from the company to conduct reputation building.
Jiang Ruomi was the first choice.
The huge success of the Chinese animation "Juchuang" made Shen Qingshu realize the attention and interest that Chinese people have in intangible cultural heritage, and she felt that this was a great opportunity.
Seizing the opportunity, she decided to adapt the Chinese animation into a TV series. If the TV series is well-received, she plans to develop a live-action movie version.
However, there are still significant differences between anime and live-action. First and foremost, casting is an extremely crucial step.
Shen Qingshu screened all the artists currently in the company, and only Jiang Ruomi was someone she was satisfied with.
Jiang Ruomi is filming on set today, and Shen Qingshu decides to visit her.
While you're at it, check out the other actors in the cast; you might find something new.
It was already 3 p.m. when I arrived at the film set.
Assistant Chi Guo'er skillfully led Shen Qingshu into the film crew and found Jiang Ruomi.
Jiang Ruomi was changing her clothes when Shen Qingshu suddenly arrived, which surprised her greatly.
"Qingshu, what brings you here?" Jiang Ruomi walked over and affectionately took Shen Qingshu's arm.
She only found out last week at a company meeting that Shen Qingshu was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of their company!
However, she is straightforward and doesn't seem to be affected by the fact that Shen Qingshu is the behind-the-scenes boss.
Shen Qingshu felt that this was very rare about her. Although she was born into poverty, she was neither humble nor arrogant. Her personality and way of doing things made her very capable. Such a person has a lot of inner energy and can be said to be born to be an actress.
"I just came to take a look. You focus on acting, I'll just wander around by myself."
Jiang Ruomi nodded and returned to her seat to continue applying makeup.
Shen Qingshu had just finished wandering around the film set and was about to leave when she suddenly heard people arguing in a corner.
A staff member's angry shouts rang out: "I don't care if your child is hidden by your husband! You're delaying everyone's work! If you can't do the job, then leave! You've made so many people wait for you! Who do you think you are!"
Shen Qingshu frowned and walked over.
It turned out that a female stunt double on set was late, which delayed the filming.
Chi Guo'er inquired around and learned that the female stunt double had recently divorced, and her one-and-a-half-year-old child had been awarded to her. However, her ex-husband suddenly broke into her home that morning and took their son away. The child's maternal grandmother was unable to stop him by herself.
After receiving a call from her mother, the woman rushed home and called the police to go to her ex-husband's house to look for her child, but her ex-husband had already disappeared with the child.
The production crew called her several times to urge her to return. She returned to the set with a heavy heart, but before she could even explain herself, she was berated by the crew.
Shen Qingshu looked at the woman with her head down and tears streaming down her face, her gaze sweeping over the large and small scars on her arms.
She looked at Chi Guo'er beside her and said, "Give her my business card."
Chi Guo'er glanced at Shen Qingshu with some surprise, but Shen Qingshu had already turned and walked out.
Shen Qingshu returned to the car to wait for Chi Guo'er.
When Chi Guo'er returned, she opened the passenger door and bent down to get in.
"Mr. Shen, I gave the business card to that person."
Shen Qingshu gripped the steering wheel and gave a faint reply.
Then, without saying anything, she drove away.
…
At 7 p.m., Shen Qingshu returned to Yun Gui.
Fu Siyan's Maybach was parked in the yard.
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then realized that it was Friday.
This week it's the two kids' turn to spend the weekend at Fu Siyan's place.
She pursed her lips and walked calmly into the living room.
