Chapter 132: A Good Show!

Translator: Lordbluefire
When Shen Ruojing was preparing to walk toward Chu Cimo, someone suddenly called her. “Miss Shen.”

This familiar evil-sounding voice rang out abruptly, causing her body to enter a defensive state instinctively. She slowly turned and saw Dugu Xiao standing behind her.

The man was clad in a purple shirt today, and he hugged his arms and exuded a powerful aura. His deep eyes were staring at her like how a hunter would stare at prey.

A hint of killing intent flickered in Shen Ruojing’s eyes, but it vanished a moment later. She icily said, “Mr. Dugu, can I help you?”

She glanced at the surroundings before glancing at the police stationed at the studio’s entrance.

Dugu Xiao followed her sight, and his lips curled into an evil smile. “I only wish to be friends with Miss Shen.”

Friends?

Mocking light glimmered in her eyes. How could there be a word such as ‘friend’ in his dictionary? To Dugu Xiao, his ‘friends’ were tools for him to use and betray!

She turned and walked away. “I’m not interested.”

Dugu Xiao didn’t stop her. He only followed behind her and spoke in a composed manner, “I’ve already investigated. Chu Cichen has no plans to marry you, and you are merely a tool that gave birth to children for him. So, why must Miss Shen bow in humility and stay in the Chu Manor?”

Shen Ruojing halted her steps. She then turned and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. “Because he is my friend.”

She intentionally emphasized the word ‘friend’.

Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes after hearing her strange tone. “In this world, how can there be true friends? Friends are merely friends because they share common benefits. If they don’t have common benefits binding them, one of the parties must have something they need from the other.”

He suddenly laughed. “Miss Shen, why don’t I bring you somewhere to watch a good show?”

Shen Ruojing rejected him directly. “I’m not interested.”

She then headed backstage to find Bai Shanshan.

Dugu Xiao still followed her. The two of them then went backstage and saw Bai Shanshan and Yan Zihao conversing before them.

Bai Shanshan was currently sobbing. “…I’ve done so much for Zijing by being her replacement singer for so many years and have also earned so much money for your Yan Family. Why can’t you let me go since you don’t like me? Why can’t you let me bring my daughter away? Xiaoqi is a girl, and your mother doesn’t like her. You can casually find someone else to give birth to a son for you…”

Yan Zihao remained unmoved hearing her words. However, he had spotted the two of them standing in the distance. He then spoke, “Bai Shanshan, there is a solution if you want your daughter. I only want you to promise me one thing.”

Bai Shanshan had been pleading with him for a long time, but Yan Zihao had shown no reaction earlier.

Now that he was showing signs of relenting, Bai Shanshan immediately asked, “What thing?”

Yan Zihao slowly spoke, “Mr. Dugu is fond of Shen Ruojing. As long as you swindle Shen Ruojing and make her come to my residence, you don’t have to care what happens next. When our divorce is finalized, I will give up custody of our daughter.”

Bai Shanshan was dumbfounded.

In the distance, Shen Ruojing also halted her steps.

She turned her head to look at Dugu Xiao.

So, the ‘good show’ he spoke about was referring to this.

Dugu Xiao’s brown eyes had the hint of a smile. “Miss Shen, Bai Shanshan can be considered your friend, right? What do you think she will do in the face of benefits?”

“Despicable,” Shen Ruojing quietly scolded.

Dugu Xiao wasn’t annoyed. In fact, even when she scolded him, he suddenly felt as though he had returned to the point in time six years ago.

518, who wore the golden mask, behaved precisely like this.

No matter how angry she was, her tone when scolding people would sound very casual. No one was able to tell what she was feeling.

Dugu Xiao’s gaze deepened slightly as the smile on his face became wider.

To him, Shen Ruojing was just a toy.

However, he was more patient because she resembled 518 too much.

He didn’t expect that Shen Ruojing could give him such a surprise…

His eyes gleamed as he looked at Shen Ruojing. “I only want Miss Shen to see the truth behind the word ‘friend’. Bai Shanshan can betray you, and Chu Cichen can do the same as well. It is just that the pressure I’m currently giving him is not heavy enough. Why don’t you take a guess…how long can Chu Cichen persist before he caves in?”

Pressure…

Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes. “What have you done to the Chu Family?”

“Nothing much.” Dugu Xiao rubbed his nose. “I only made them face a crisis of bankruptcy.”

A crisis of bankruptcy…

When she had gone to the study to look for Chu Cichen last night, she couldn’t see any hints of worry on that man’s face.

However, then again, he had always been like this.

Even if the sky was about to fall, he wouldn’t tell her.

A little puppy had its own pride too.

Shen Ruojing felt that she should show more concern for him.

She curled her lips. “Many thanks for telling me these.”

Dugu Xiao. “??”

He frowned and just when he was about to say something, Shen Ruojing suddenly turned and hushed him. After that, she pointed in front.

Dugu Xiao glanced in the direction she pointed.

After that, they heard Bai Shanshan speaking with no hesitation. “Impossible! Miss Shen is my friend. I won’t betray her!”

Yan Zihao was badly enraged. “Is your friend more important than your daughter?! Bai Shanshan, do you not want your daughter’s custody anymore?”

Bai Shanshan inhaled deeply. “Yan Zihao. I’m very useless and cowardly, but I have my bottom line. My daughter is very important to me, and I’ll do my best to fight for her custody. If you don’t give it to me, let’s fight it out in court!”

Yan Zihao snarled angrily. “Bai Shanshan, don’t regret this!”

“The only thing I regret was marrying you those years ago!” Bai Shanshan clenched her fist and said this sentence with disappointment. After that, she circled around Yan Zihao and headed straight for the dressing room.

Shen Ruojing looked at Dugu Xiao as her gaze turned deep. “Humans are humans because they have a bottom line. Mr. Dugu, this show is really nice to watch.”

After saying this, she continued to walk forward.

Dugu Xiao’s expression abruptly changed. His countenance turned gloomy and his gaze flickered sinisterly as he looked at Yan Zihao. “Trash, you can’t even do a simple thing well!”

Yan Zihao lowered his head. “Mr. Dugu, please don’t worry. Bai Shanshan hasn’t been pressed to the point of despair. I will definitely make you satisfied…so please send Zijing back at that time.”

–

Shen Ruojing hadn’t entered Bai Shanshan’s dressing room.

She leaned against the wall outside and as expected, after waiting for a while, Chu Cimo brought Yan Xiaoqi here. Chu Cimo walked in front, while Yan Xiaoqi limped behind him.

“Walk quicker. I’ve told you that you shouldn’t come, but you insisted. How troublesome!”

Yan Xiaoqi pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

After the two of them saw Shen Ruojing, Chu Cimo then spoke, “Oi, carry her in.”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She asked, “Why don’t you carry her?”

“I’m not her father!” Chu Cimo touched his chin and mumbled, “Also, she is a girl. Guys and girls shouldn’t be too close physically!”

“…Yan Xiaoqi is only five years old!”

Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched speechlessly.

She then carried Yan Xiaoqi and entered the dressing room together with Chu Cimo.

After that, Shen Ruojing left.

There were two strands of hair in her hand, and she carefully placed them into a small bag that she carried with her. After that, she headed outside and called Ye Lu. “Are you at the clinic? I need you to do a DNA test.”
