Chapter 81 She mouthed: Hello, Mr. Xia.
Du Wanwan came without any warning and left without any warning. After leaving, she returned to the Du residence as if nothing had happened and began a happy Spring Festival holiday.
Suddenly, she forgot all about Xia Chun, Xia Tian Entertainment, the harem system, and Meng Qian. For the first time in her life, she didn't take care of any work. She ate and slept as she pleased. When she was awake, she either worked with the gardener to care for the peonies left by Ms. Du, or worked with the kitchen to find out what she could eat without the specially prepared medicinal dishes.
Time passed in a flash. The Spring Festival holiday ended and Du Wanwan returned to Runjia Entertainment to work and started planning for the new year.
When the new year starts and everyone starts working, they are all lazy. Before they can recover from the Spring Festival holiday, the Lantern Festival holiday comes again.
This year's Lantern Festival happened to fall on a Saturday.
Chinese and Western Valentine's Day falls on the same day as Saturday. The whole world seems to be flooded with chocolates and roses. Singles on this day seem to be only fit to stay at home. Wherever you go, there are crowds of people, 99% of whom are couples holding hands.
Perhaps, the only exception is the Choubumei Bar.
Because it has never been a simple bar, to be precise, it is a dream garden.
Everyone knows that the owner of the Choubusui Bar has extensive connections in the entertainment industry. Anyone you bump into in his bar could be a director, screenwriter, or agent in the entertainment industry.
On Valentine's Day, when the whole world is filled with couples, the Choubusi Bar remains the same as every other day. Sitting in the bar hall are all handsome men and beautiful women who come alone.
They drank in the hall, looking around, searching for their opportunities and their prey, completely unaware that their every move was being monitored, and the bar owner was in the monitoring room, staring intently at several large screens.
"Boss." Suddenly, the monitoring room staff called out, "Is this it?"
The bar owner looked up, then compared it with the photo on his phone, confirmed it again and again, then turned around and reported, "Boss Xia, she's here."
Sitting on the sofa facing the monitor in the monitoring room was a woman wearing a blue dress, her long hair tied up. The lighting wasn't very bright, but it couldn't hide her sweet features and delicate makeup. If she walked into the hall, everyone would think she was another young woman, under 30, chasing her dreams.
No one would have thought that this was the female boss of Xiatian Entertainment, who was already 46 years old.
No one could have imagined that beneath her sweet appearance, her eyes were filled with coldness as she stared at the surveillance screen.
The person who walked into the surveillance camera was a girl in her early twenties.
Her long, slightly curly chestnut-dyed hair was tied halfway into a bun, the other half hanging loose. She wore a loose, long, pale blue sweater, paired with a white gauze skirt and ankle boots. Her makeup was refreshingly sweet, a look that matched her age, making her the epitome of an innocent beauty.
Among the handsome men and beautiful women in the room, they are the most conspicuous ones.
Who could have guessed her true identity?
"Du Wanwan..." Xia Chun repeated the name almost silently, a wave of jealousy rising in his eyes, and he almost raised his hand to touch his face.
The real 21-year-old was different from the youth she pretended to be. Moreover, she looked so similar to her mother, both were so... beautiful.
Unfortunately, she inherited Du Qingjia's beauty but not his intelligence. She was young and frivolous, and acted boldly and recklessly.
Did she think that by changing her appearance, she would be unrecognizable? Or did she think that she could win by not knowing what she had heard there?
Or perhaps, she naively believed that, having revealed the secret, she was certain of victory? That she could scare that person?
She probably doesn't know what it means when a mantis stalks a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Even the bar owner was amazed: "She actually dared to come alone."
Not only did Du Wanwan come alone, she also sat down in the hall. Unfortunately, in Xia Chun's eyes, her acting was not good enough.
With her broken body, she couldn't drink any alcohol at all, so she could only order a glass of juice when the waiter asked.
She also didn't know that the waiter had already activated the eavesdropping device under the table when he bent down to ask.
"...Just a glass of orange juice, no alcohol. Otherwise, I'll get alcohol poisoning and someone's dead. You'll be responsible for the consequences."
The waiter had a standard smile on his face: "Okay, please wait."
After placing her order, Du Wanwan propped her chin up with one hand and glanced at the customers in the hall with a bored look. On the finger on which she rested her chin was an emerald four-leaf clover ring.
It is a classic model of a luxury brand. It looks very good and is also very easy to identify.
Xia Chun could almost guess what she was thinking.
Du Wanwan wanted to stay in the bar lobby, where all kinds of people gathered, because the plot she was waiting for was to happen in the lobby, not in the private rooms. But at the same time, she didn't want to be seduced by those crazy bees and butterflies hunting for beauty, so she came up with a plan.
She found the most iconic, easily recognizable piece of jewelry from her family's collection, and put it on her wrist. Du Wanwan thought that this way, those who were attracted to her would think she was from a wealthy family, and men with little money would not dare to approach her.
——That’s quite childish.
She didn't think that in such an occasion where there was both hunting for beauty and conspiracy, unless she revealed her identity as Du Wanwan, what use would a ring worth hundreds of thousands of dollars be?
At most, it could stop men from hitting on her, but the more she flaunted her wealth, the more men wanted to sleep with her.
Because she looks so innocent, so naive, and so beautiful, some men with ulterior motives would think that she was slept with and dared not say a word, and would even use some means to save the video of her being slept with and blackmail her endlessly.
They are too experienced in dealing with young girls.
And she... Xia Chun's mouth curled up, revealing a fierce smile that was completely different from her sweet appearance.
She is very experienced in dealing with the Du family.
Blame it on Du Jingyuan being too infatuated, marrying the wrong woman and bringing disaster to all his descendants. Unless the Du family never gives birth to a daughter, this will always be the death knell for the women of the Du family.
What a coincidence, Du Wanwan was living outside and had never been affected by the Du family's legendary sterilization spell since childhood.
Just once, just once, would Du Wanwan be irreversibly pregnant? Then, like her mother, she would have no choice but to give birth to the child.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel happy all over.
The smile in Xia Chun's eyes became more obvious.
The young girl in the surveillance video had no idea what she was about to encounter and was still looking around.
Then, she had to wait, wait until the night deepened and she became anxious. Just like a fisherman who has been sitting on the shore fishing all day, he can't help but lift his rod when he sees the hook move.
By that time, it will be unclear who is the fisherman and who is the fish.
Xia Chun slowly checked the time, watching the waiter bring her a glass of orange juice. Du Wanwan immediately scanned it with her phone, confirming it was free of alcohol and spells, before leaning over the straw to take a sip.
She was there to bide her time, not to be discovered, and certainly not to kill time. During the entire waiting process, she couldn't use her phone or chat with anyone, and could only constantly scan every corner with her eyes, paying attention to every new person who appeared.
This process was quite boring, but she couldn't ask her legendary assistant to come because her assistant's temperament was too prominent and too difficult to disguise. Besides, didn't Du Wanwan say that?
A heroine is needed to save the beauty.
Time passed by little by little, and no one dared to approach Du Wanwan to talk to her. Du Wanwan just drank that glass of orange juice and managed to hold on for three hours.
Xia Chun had been in the business world for twenty years and could tell at a glance that she was getting impatient. Furthermore, her physical strength was not good and was almost at its limit.
She is sleepy.
When people are sleepy, they will be more anxious and want to rest more.
"It's almost time." Xia Chun glanced at the time and ordered. "Get ready to start."
In the bar lobby, Du Wanwan raised her hand to rub her eyes, a hint of anxiety unconcealed between her brows. She picked up her phone, unlocked it, and slid to the name "Pei Xingyao" in the address book.
But just as she was about to press it, she suddenly found two men standing up.
The two men, dressed in suits and trousers, looked like elites with annual salaries of millions. However, they stood up as if unintentionally and walked towards a table.
Du Wanwan then realized that there was a woman sitting in the corner of the hall. She seemed drunk and had just left the table to go to the bathroom. On her table was a half-finished martini.
Du Wanwan's eyes instantly sharpened. She calmly raised her phone and filmed the table in the corner. In her camera, one of the two men leaned sideways to provide cover, while the other casually pulled a talisman from his pocket and placed it in the cup.
The dark yellow talisman melted into the Martini in an instant. The two men looked at each other and quickly returned to their seats.
In less than three minutes, the woman came back.
A light just happened to shine on her face, and her sweet crescent eyes were exactly the same as the ones in the phone. Not to mention that Du Wanwan had already engraved her appearance in her mind, just for this beauty that made it difficult to tell her age, who else could it be but Xia Chun?
Xia Chunyi returned to her seat and sat down while checking her phone, her eyes full of impatience. While her right hand was quickly sending messages, her left hand picked up the martini on the table and raised it to drink.
At this moment, a cold hand grabbed her wrist.
A cold, slightly sickly voice rang in her ears: "Boss Xia, if I were you, I wouldn't drink this glass of wine."
"What are you doing!" The woman suddenly looked up and shook her hand away. "Are you crazy? Who is President Xia?"
Du Wanwan looked at her closely, her face full of surprise——
This woman is almost 80% similar to Xia Chun, with the same sweet face and crescent eyes, but she does not have the iconic red teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.
"What's wrong?" a nervous male voice came, and the two men in suits hurried over and asked, "What happened?"
"I guess she saw you cast the spell." The girl's face was full of defiance, and her words were completely inconsistent with her sweet appearance. Her eyes were full of impatience. "Tsk! So annoying! I finally found a place to play the drugging game, and it was ruined again! Why is it so difficult to succeed once? Forget it! Let's go!"
She picked up her bag and cursed, ready to leave angrily.
He took a step and then suddenly turned around, drank the wine on the table in one gulp, and then put it on the table with a thud.
"That's a fake charm! It's harmless! Kind lady, please don't call the police on my boyfriends!"
The two men also glared at Du Wanwan and left.
"Hahaha..." In the monitoring room, Xia Chun couldn't help but applaud and laugh. "A heroine saves a beautiful girl! What a heroine saving a beautiful girl...!"
She was halfway through laughing when she suddenly froze.
Because Du Wanwan, who was originally standing there in shock, suddenly raised her head and looked exactly at the surveillance camera.
In the camera, he slowly gave her a cold but confident smile.
She mouthed: Hello, Mr. Xia.
