Mu Xiaocheng shook her head.
Her beautiful big eyes stared at him without blinking, and for a moment, her face looked as innocent as a child's.
"I'm not going to do anything immoral or illegal. I can handle it myself."
Ji Huaishen must have thought she would do something to Zhou Ningshuang and Yuan Xi.
Indeed, she wanted to teach those two a lesson.
She has been holding back for a long time.
But this time, we'll use our brains, not brute force.
When Ji Huaishen heard her say that, he suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth curving into a very beautiful arc. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Mu Xiaocheng smiled, leaned closer to his face, and kissed his cheek.
"My Mr. Ji is the best."
Her voice was sweet, with a hint of arrogance and pride in it; the sweetness seeped into Ji Huaishen's heart like a gentle breeze.

Yuan Xi was exhausted after filming all day. During the afternoon's filming of that scene, she was slapped several times by the female lead, Yu Sui. Her face is still sore and a little swollen.
The assistant was applying an ice pack to her face when Yuan Xi took out her phone and sent a text message to Zhou Ningshuang.
In the afternoon, she had someone call Zhou Ningshuang.
But Zhou Ningshuang said she had something urgent to attend to and couldn't come over in time.
It's already evening, and that woman still hasn't shown up.
Yuan Xi suddenly felt a little panicked.
She knew very well that she was nothing more than a pawn of Zhou Ningshuang, used to help her achieve her own goals.
It was she who suggested that she enter the entertainment industry, and it was she who tried every means to get Mu Xiaocheng to be a screenwriter, and then instructed her to make things difficult for Mu Xiaocheng.
Now that Ji Huaishen has invested in the show and gotten involved, is Zhou Ningshuang afraid and wanting to abandon her as a pawn?
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi was startled.
She remembered Qi Feiwan, the eldest daughter of the Qi family.
He was the person Zhou Ningshuang abandoned back then.
It was also because he offended Mu Xiaocheng that he was later imprisoned, and was beaten so badly before he went to jail...
If Zhou Ningshuang were to abandon her...
No, it's not possible.
She couldn't do that. Without Zhou Ningshuang, she wouldn't have any source of income, and without money, she wouldn't be able to help her mother get treatment.
She wanted to earn a lot of money, to live a decent life, and she didn't want to continue living such a humble life.
She wanted to be someone superior to others.
Yuan Xi found Zhou Ningshuang's phone number and was about to call her when the door opened.
Zhou Ningshuang stood at the door, wearing a red, elegant coat, red high heels, heavy makeup, a small bag in her hand, and her nails painted black.
"Aunt Zhou."
Yuan Xi called out, and at the same time, she stood up, ignoring the injuries on her face, and walked towards Zhou Ningshuang.
Zhou Ningshuang glanced at her slightly swollen face, her eyes flashing briefly.
A hand with black nail polish stroked Yuan Xi's cheek, touching it lightly, seemingly with pity.
"Look at you, that's not how you use your face."
"You didn't say a word after being hit; you're really thick-skinned."
Zhou Ningshuang said with a smile, then winked at Yuan Xi's assistant.
The assistant very conscientiously withdrew.
Upon seeing Zhou Ningshuang, Yuan Xi felt a surge of grievance.
This afternoon, the burning pain from Yu Sui slapping my cheek released all the resentment and hatred in my heart.
Zhou Ningshuang gently patted Yuan Xi's shoulder and said in a soft voice, "If you've been bullied, just bully them back. It's no big deal."
