The reporters, seeing her in a black professional suit, sunglasses, and bright red lips, exuding an aura of power and even a hint of murderous intent, cried out excitedly, "What is Mrs. Xie going to do?"
"I'm going to ask Ms. Hu. About her and my husband, you know where she lives, right? Please lead the way."
"Of course, Mrs. Xie, I know. Can I accompany you for filming?"
"Everyone is welcome. Lead the way."
Xie Sui: "..." Su Dan Novel Network
Du Feiyang, unsure whether to pity or envy, said, "Brother Xie, is your wife going to crash the party? Aren't you going to follow?"
"Of course I have to. What if she gets hurt? Lend me your bodyguards too, I have to protect her."
Xie Sui was both angry and helpless. You're pregnant, take it easy.
Hu Nana had originally planned to be discharged from the hospital, but a sugar daddy appeared. Thinking she could stay a few more days in the hospital to gain sympathy, she didn't leave.
She was happily eating fruit, rehydrating. Her body had recovered, but her skin was peeling from sunburn. She cursed Xie Sui again in frustration, wondering how long it would take to recover.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, which stopped at her hospital room door. The door was kicked open, and Hu Nana's pupils constricted. How could she be here?
It was Mrs. Xie herself. She had actually come to her doorstep.
Forcing a smile, she said, "Mrs. Xie, why are you here?"
"I didn't want to come, but you've been talking about your affairs with my husband with such conviction. I had to come and ask you.
If you've truly 'served' my husband, I might even have to tip you. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hu."
The reporters gasped. The way she spoke, the demeanor of the legitimate wife was fully displayed. Miss Hu was like a concubine.
Not even a concubine, perhaps just an outside mistress.
Hu Nana felt guilty. She had expected Xie Sui to come, perhaps cry and make a scene, say ambiguous things, and leave Mr. Xie speechless.
But it was Lin Wanwan who came. Hu Nana's little tricks were useless against her.
"Tell me, when and where were you with my husband? Speak clearly, and I'll see if he has the ability to be in two places at once, being with me and coming to see you."
"I..."
She couldn't say. The other person had given her Xie Sui's whereabouts a few times, but she didn't know if Mrs. Xie was with him at those times.
"Can't say, can you? Do you know the consequences of slander and defamation? You'll be receiving my lawyer's letter soon."
Hu Nana cried, "Mrs. Xie, you are a united couple. Nothing I say will matter. Are you trying to force me to death?
I just accidentally went to your small island. Wasn't it enough that you drove us away?"
The reporters caught wind of something and asked, "Mrs. Xie, are you that heartless?"
Hu Nana tried to change the subject, wanting to portray Xie Sui and his wife as wealthy and unrighteous, lacking sympathy. This would resonate most with the public, as many people harbored resentment towards the rich.
Lin Wanwan sneered, "Do you have any idea why we drove you away? You were openly flirting with my husband in front of me, and you expected me to welcome you instead of kicking you out?
You haven't answered my question and are trying to divert the topic. Being humane depends on who you're dealing with. Sympathizing with a malicious woman like you, who spreads rumors and slanders my husband, would be madness!"
"Ah, so that's how it is! Miss Hu, how did you flirt with Mr. Xie? And right in front of his wife, what were you thinking at the time?"
"Miss Hu, did you really have an affair with Mr. Xie? Did you book a hotel room, or was he keeping you? Do you have any evidence?"
"Ah, all of you, get away! My head is spinning. I'm still a patient, why are you all pressuring me like this?"
Hu Nana dared not speak, so she faked a faint.
Then, Lin Wanwan grabbed the IV needle and sharply pricked her philtrum. Hu Nana screamed and woke up. Lin Wanwan said, "Where is the doctor? What's wrong with her? She says we're pressuring her, so today I'll do some charity and help her get better."
With such a commotion, the doctor had to come. He said, "Miss Hu was previously suffering from dehydration and malnutrition. After two days of IV fluids, she's fit for discharge.
It was she who insisted on further examination, wanting to stay a few more days. We couldn't do anything about it."
"So she's not sick. You're occupying hospital resources and delaying actual patients. Is this what you call us pressuring you?"
Hu Nana could only cry, not daring to say anything else. No one could help her, and she was completely defeated.
"Does crying solve everything? If you dare to spread rumors about my man again, I'll have you jailed. Everyone, disperse. The matter has been clarified. This woman is seeking revenge on my family, and I will report her to the police."
The reporters, having feasted on the gossip, were eager to publish the latest scoop and quickly scattered.
Xie Sui followed in and said, "Had enough fun? Can we go back now?"
Lin Wanwan held her waist, her belly slightly protruding. Xie Sui immediately supported her arm, "Did the baby bother you?"
"My baby is very good. It was just a small incident. Let's go."
Seeing Xie Sui approach, Hu Nana instinctively hid. Would Mr. Xie pursue the matter?
"You, who gave you the courage to slander me? Answer honestly, and I won't pursue it. Otherwise, you'll see the consequences."
"I..."
Hu Nana hesitated. She couldn't afford to offend Mr. Xie, but she feared the other person even more.
"No one. I wanted to become famous and was unwilling to accept my fate. I did it myself."
"Very good. I will investigate. You'll soon know the consequences of lying to me."
Hu Nana cried and begged for mercy, "Mr. Xie, I was wrong. Please let me go."
"Since you dared to do it, you must bear the consequences. It's better to beg yourself than me. Let's go."
Xie Sui disdained to say more to her. Actions always leave traces, and he would find out himself.
As for her, a lawyer's letter and a police report would be the whole package, showing everyone the consequences of slandering him.
He was not Du Feiyang, who would let any minor celebrity gain fame by association. He didn't want these trivial matters to affect Wanwan's mood.
Hu Nana disappeared completely, becoming a ghost. The mastermind behind the scenes, Du Feiyang, was also investigated.
"It was him? I've been too busy, I almost forgot about this little shrimp. He still dares to jump around?"
She had expected it to be Liu Chao, but it turned out to be Lin Tianxiang of Jiaye Film and Television, his old rival.
"Who is this person?"
"A nobody, just a defeated opponent."
Xie Sui didn't hide it from Lin Wanwan and explained his conflict with Lin Tianxiang. Lin Wanwan understood, "He's our competitor. What are you going to do?"
"In the entertainment industry, strength is what matters. Two movies are about to be released, and they are guaranteed to be blockbusters. Dealing with a clown like him, our success will be the greatest revenge."
"Are you sure they'll be blockbusters?"
"Your husband never fights a battle he's not sure of winning. Don't worry."
Coincidentally, the movie was holding a promotional event. Xie Sui planned to attend in person with Lin Wanwan to promote the new films, leveraging this heat to launch the two movies.
One was "Young and Dangerous," and the other was "Dragon Gate Inn," both classic blockbusters.
Xie Sui hadn't been to the entertainment company in a long time. Qiu Caixie was in charge, and the senior management cooperated very well. The entertainment company was already on the right track.
After the new movies become popular, they would attract more newcomers. Xie Sui would poach people from Jiaye Film and Television first, leaving Lin Tianxiang with an empty shell.
An entertainment company thrives on its talent. Without stars, how can it make money?
It was Lin Wanwan's first time wearing an evening gown. The designer had specifically chosen a style with a large skirt that covered her stomach, resembling a wedding dress.
While beautiful, Lin Wanwan felt a bit uncomfortable with so much cleavage exposed.
Xie Sui looked at her with deep eyes. Due to pregnancy, her breasts were exceptionally full, and the lines of her shoulders and back were perfect. His wife was beautiful in every way.
"Get me a shawl."
The shawl covered her shoulders and chest, adding a touch of luxury. Lin Wanwan was finally satisfied.
The couple made a grand entrance, the man handsome and the woman beautiful, a perfect pair. The reporters took countless photos. Lin Wanwan gradually gained some confidence, no longer afraid with Xie Sui by her side.
"Hello, Mr. Xie. Hello, Mrs. Xie."
People greeted them constantly. Xie Sui nodded and sat in the front row.
Beside him sat the company's senior executives, followed by the most popular stars. The protagonists were somewhat anxious, as their future depended on the movies' success.
"Don't be nervous, they're sure to be a hit. Such good movies, it would be a sin if they weren't!
If they become huge hits, you'll also get bonuses. The company will allocate ten percent of its profits to reward everyone."
Everyone immediately cheered up, "Thank you, Mr. Xie! May your words come true."
Apart from their salaries, actors didn't get bonuses or profit sharing. Mr. Xie offering additional rewards made him a truly conscientious boss.
The premiere ceremony came first, with a short screening of about ten minutes, leaving suspense to make people eager to pay to watch the movie in theaters. The opening was considered a success.
Both films were captivating. Industry insiders were astonished, as they didn't seem like productions from a new company. It was predictable that the movies would be huge hits.
After the opening ceremony, it was time for the actors' interviews. Watching the future industry giants answer questions with a hint of nervousness, Xie Sui's lips curved into a smile. They were all money-making trees.
Guan Zhizhi also came. She was familiar with Lin Wanwan and came over to greet her, "Mrs. Xie, you look stunning today."
"You look beautiful too. I'm just a haggard housewife compared to you."
"Mrs. Xie, you're too modest. If you wanted to act, you'd be a huge star. You probably wouldn't care for this level of fame. You've already reached the pinnacle, and we can only envy you."
"Envy me for what?"
Guan Zhizhi truly envied her. She glanced at Xie Sui and said, "Envy you for having such a good husband. Every woman's dream is to marry into a wealthy family."
Xie Sui said, "Miss Guan, you can also become wealthy. The more you try to hold onto something, the harder it is to grasp. Listen to my advice, focus on your career. No man is reliable."
"Are you talking about yourself?"
"Of course, I'm reliable. I'm different from them."
"Yes, Mr. Xie is one of a kind. Mrs. Xie, you should keep a close eye on him."
Lin Wanwan said, "Keep an eye on what? If he wants to find someone, he can flirt with anyone. If he truly cares about family, he won't be tempted even if it's right in front of him. This depends on his self-discipline."
Xie Sui smiled charmingly, "I've always been very disciplined."
"Oh, Mr. Xie, long time no see. Coming back and making such a big splash, are you leaving us no room to operate?"
Lin Tianxiang approached, speaking sarcastically.
Standing with him was Director Xu, whose expression was grim. He had told Lin Tianxiang not to cause conflict, to speak calmly, and to seek harmony. How could he offend people the moment he opened his mouth?
This old friend was beyond redemption. Director Xu gradually had other thoughts, and his gaze towards Xie Sui became more contemplative.
