Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Mingzhi looked at the neighbor’s house, “I’m not sure, but people who live in this place should be good people. Let’s go and say hello to the neighbors after we’ve cleaned up and settled down.”

Su Ji agreed, “mom, are you still going back to Continent M?”

Xu Mingzhi pinched her face, “now that I’ve finally found you, why would I? I’ll be wherever you are.”

Su Ji smiled, and her smile was so beautiful that it was seductive.

Wei Wei brought housekeepers to them, “boss, these two are the top housekeepers that we have picked according to your requirements.”

!!

Xu Mingzhizhi glanced at the two people, they were both in their forties and had kind faces. She trusted Wei Wei, so she asked a simple question, “which do you prefer, lychees or bananas?”

This question was indeed strange, and the two ladies were stunned.

The thinner one said, “lychees. They’re sweet and delicious.”

The chubbier one laughed like a female version of the Buddha, “I prefer bananas. They’re cheap and can fill my stomach.”

Xu Mingzhi pointed at the second one, “I’ll hire you.”

She couldn’t hire someone who loved lychees and who might take thelychees from her daughter.

The chubby lady said, “you can call me Aunt Wu.”

Xu Mingzhizhi nodded, “go and make lunch. Make something spicy.”

“Alright, Madam!” Aunt Wu said.

Although there weren’t many people living in the house, and there weren’t as many helpers as in the Su family, it was warm and lively.

When Xu Mingzhi entered the house, she saw the backpack that Su Ji had casually thrown on the sofa, “baby, what’s in this? It’s quite heavy.”

Before she could finish her sentence, the bag in her hand disappeared.

Su Ji quickly took it back and stammered, “it’s nothing! It’s my script!”

Xu Mingzhi didn’t doubt her at all, “no wonder it’s heavy. Are you still going to the set tomorrow? ”

“Yes, I have a scene tomorrow,” Su Ji nodded.

The scene tomorrow would be her last scene in the first episode of “The Billion Stars”.

Act 5, Scene 7: The second female lead was framed by her stepmother. As soon as she went abroad, she was chased by debt collectors. Xiaomei lured the debt collectors away and was beaten up.

This scene would also be the final shot at the end.

Leaving the audience with suspense, the second episode would be three years later in the story.

However, Su Qianrou was no longer playing the role of Xiaomei. Su Ji would be filming the scene with the new Xiaomei tomorrow.

“My beautiful daughter will definitely do well. Go upstairs and prepare. When it’s aired, I will definitely watch it on TV!”

Su Ji then went upstairs with her backpack and sent a message to Pei Huai.

[ “I’ve asked my friend to go to the casting tomorrow. Thanks!” ]

Pei Huai smiled when he received Su Ji’s message.

On the other side of the desk, Shen Mu squinted at the boss’ triumphant smile.

He didn’t need to look to know that it was from Ms. Su!

When Pei Huai looked at him, the smile on his lips was gone. He was not willing to give a bit of love to his assistant who had been with him for ten years, “I have three tasks for you.”

“Please tell me!” Shen Mu stood at attention.

“One, monitor Ning Lihua’s lawyer closely.”

“No problem, boss.”

Pei Huai pushed a property brochure to Shen Mu, “help me buy this house.”

Shen Mu looked at the property. It was not particularly big, only about four hundred square meters, and it was a townhouse.

It didn’t look like the type of real estate that the boss would usually invest in.

However, he didn’t dare to object to his orders, “yes, boss.”

There was one last thing. The light in Pei Huai’s eyes darkened.

This was what he and his grandfather wanted.

This time, they had come to an agreement.

For Ning Lihua to do something like that, it was definitely not the first time she had bullied Su Ji.

Both Pei Huai and Pei Qingshen still remembered the injury on Su Ji’s forehead the day they first met her.

Su Ji was not someone who would walk and hit her head on the ground.

It seemed that it had something to do with the Su family.

And even if Su Cunyi didn’t know, he was guilty of not knowing.

There were a few small companies under the Pei Corporation that had business dealings with the Su Corporation. This time, it was time to teach the Su family a lesson.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely complete them.”

“Mom, I really just want to help get Mr. Yu’s new energy project. I really don’t have any ill intentions.”

In the visiting room, Zhang Guihua patted Ning Lihua’s hand, “of course I believe you. You’ve sacrificed so much for the Su family. I’ll be on your side!”

Actually, Zhang Guihua did not care if Ning Lihua went to jail or not. She only cared about the Su family’s reputation.

As the daughter-in-law of the Su family, she would be a laughingstock in prison.

Ning Lihua had been locked up for a few days. Her exquisite makeup had long been ruined, and her dark circles made her look like a panda. There were black stains on her face.

She looked terrifying.

Ning Lihua stood up excitedly and said, “mom! You must save me! I wanted to leave on bail, but they didn’t let me! There are cockroaches in this place! I can’t even stay a day longer!”

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Guihua said, “I’ve already found the best lawyer.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the lawyer opened the door and came in hurriedly, almost bumping into Zhang Guihua, who was about to leave.

“Aiyo, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Madam, I’ve really tried my best, but the lawyer they hired has already closed Ms. Ning’s case. It’s more serious than we thought. She’ll probably be in jail for more than ten years.”

Ning Lihua fell back onto her chair with a “thump”, her face ashen.

Zhang Guihua’s face was full of disbelief, “more than ten years? How could that be possible? At most, she was only charged with an attempt, and she was the victim. How could she be punished so severely? Who hired the lawyer? The Xu woman?”

“No, it’s the Pei family!” The lawyer was so troubled that his nose was sweating, “I don’t know the lawyer. I’ve never seen him before, but he is experienced and skilled. He went through the procedures as soon as he arrived, so he must have come prepared!”

Zhang Guihua was puzzled, “the Pei family? What does this have to do with the Pei family?”

Then, her phone rang. It was Su Cunyi’s secretary.

Zhang Guihua had his number saved in case something happened.

Zhang Guihua waved her phone at Ning Lihua, “don’t worry, the secretary is calling me. Things will change!”

“Then answer it!” Ning Lihua said.

As soon as Zhang Guihua picked up the call, she heard the secretary crying, “bad news! Three of our projects with the Pei family have been halted!”
