Qing Songxuan was split into four districts, and in the center was a pond. There was a pavilion on the pond with four bridges connecting it to the four areas. The environment was so elegant.
Director Zhang was in the North area. Mu Wan followed Mi Yu behind the waiter to the pavilion in the corridor of the North District.
Before turning into the North District, Mu Wan raised her eyes and swept the area, seeing a tall, straight back flashing through the corners of her eyes. She stopped unconsciously and took a closer look. The corridor on the east side was quiet and empty.
Mu Wan has been to Qingsongxuan several times and knows that the East District is only open to VIP customers. Even rich people may need help to go. She just thought that figure reminded her of Liu Qianxiu.
She knows his rear well. She saw it in the rearview mirror when she left after imitating a cat and meowed the last time.
But it must be a mistake. How could Liu Qianxiu come to eat in such a place?
When they arrived in the area, it was already a crowded house. As soon as Mi Yu entered the door, her originally taut face transformed into a blossoming flower.
Zhang Chengze was a second-rate TV drama director Mi Yu had worked with. The drama he is preparing now is said to be invested in by Shen’s Entertainment. It’s a firm project. Mi Yu came for the first female lead.
This room has around twenty actors, and everyone sits at a big table. Mu Wan glanced at them. Mi Yu can be considered the best player in this group.
She wanted to help Mi Yu toast and sat beside her, but Mu Wan had no seat. As soon as she arrived, she offered three glasses to the director.
After drinking, the venue became hot and busy. Mu Wan’s arms ached, her appetite was small, and she only ate two bites. Then she heard Director Zhang coldly snort and scold, “What’s great about Shen Entertainment? Without its investment, I still can make a film?”
Some producers and part-time workers agree with each other about it. Mu Wan noticed that Mi Yu’s face had changed. Shen Entertainment is top-notch in both artists and investment. Additionally, it dominates the entertainment sector as the most prominent company. They can still make TV dramas without investment, but their quality will reduce remarkably.
“The Shen family is just relying on the Liu family. Without the Liu family, they are nothing.” A producer beside her said a word after toasting Director Zhang with a glass of wine.
The venue was too big. This episode also provides the resources for discussion. Zhang Chengze is the leader of the circle. Mi Yu also had a group of actresses, and some crew members formed their own groups.
After helping Mi Yu toast Director Zhang with a few more drinks, Mi Yu went to answer her cell phone. Mu Wan leaned on her chair and heard the voices of several actresses who were still gossiping about the Shen family.
“The Shen family merely relies on the Liu family. Shen Yu’s older maternal cousin, Liu Qingyuan, is the eldest son of the Liu family and wields power in the Liu Family Corporation. However, the Liu family’s industry is large and has companies worldwide. The Liu family’s domestic company is just one of them. The head of the Liu family is in charge of all the companies. The head of the Liu family is Liu Qianxiu, the second son of the Liu family.”
Hearing Liu Qianxiu’s name, Mu Wan concentrates her energy subconsciously and looks back at the short-haired actress beside her.
“Liu Qianxiu and Liu Qingyuan have the same father but not the same mother. I heard that their relationship is not good. Liu Qianxiu’s father, Liu Fengmian, and his mother, Mei Wanyang, had a marriage contract. But, their father had an affair with Shen Yu’s aunt, Shen Chunxi. After Mei Wanyang gave birth to Liu Qianxiu, she learned that Shen Chunqi had given birth to Liu Qingyuan. Later, she was depressed and died of illness. Because of this, the Mei and the Liu family don’t have a good relationship.”
“Liu Fengmian brought Shen Chunqi and Liu Qingyuan back to the Liu family’s home, while Liu Qianxiu lived with the Liu family head, Mr. Liu. In the past few years, Mr. Liu was hospitalized with a critical illness. The Mei family took people to force the Emperor to abdicate (TN: idiom). Mr. Liu was willing to pass the family’s head position to Liu Qianxiu with only one condition: to let go of Liu Fengmian and Shen Chunqi’s family. Liu Fengmian and Liu Qingyuan are in charge of the Liu Family Corporation. In fact, they both work for Liu Qianxiu. Now Liu Qianxiu is the head of the Liu family and one of four young masters in Xiacheng.”
A few actresses listened to this. The affairs of powerful families are typically so stirring that several young stars are dumbfounded. Someone asked, “Young Master Liu’s mother could be said to have been forced to death by both her father and Madame Shen. Will he really let them go?”
“What do you mean?” The short-haired actress hummed, “I heard that Liu Fengmian sent Shen Chunqi to Australia after Liu Qianxiu took charge of the household. They should be afraid.”
Another asked, “What about Young Master Liu? Where is he now? Among the four Young Masters, he seems to be the most mysterious.”
“Yes, nobody knows where he is. He remains out of touch with the world and silently controls everything in the Liu family. Soon, it will be the old Master Liu’s third death anniversary. As the family head, he should appear, but I don’t know if the media will photograph him,” The off-shoulder actress said.
Several people chattered, and the topic shifted to the Four Young Masters of Xiacheng. Everyone had some hopes in their hearts. Even though they were not famous, having a beautiful face and marrying a wealthy family would be good.
As Mu Wan’s gradually recovered, she dropped her head slightly. Her mind seemed to be thick and impenetrable. She looked up and said to Mi Yu, “Sister Yu, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
The wine was almost finished. Mi Yu looked at her drooping left shoulder and said lightly. “Go ahead.”
Mu Wan washed her face in the bathroom. After washing, her head was still swarming with thoughts. Her face was hot and burning, like her left shoulder.
She remembers that after treating the wound in the morning, Liu Qianxiu told her not to drink, but she drank half a bottle in half an hour.
Pulling a paper towel, Mu Wan wiped the drops of water on her face and walked out of the bathroom.
The bathroom was at the end of the corridor, and no one was there. The room was soundproof, and the whole hallway was empty and quiet. Mu Wan leaned against the wall of the corridor. The delicate and cold tiles pressed on her back skin through the thin cloth made Mu Wan feel a little sober.
Her head is a little heavy. Mu Wan lowered her head and decided to stay here for a while.
The carpet on the ground was red, embroidered with red bamboo forests. Qing Songxuan is split into four areas: east, west, north, and south, with the theme decor plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. The northern area’s theme was bamboo.
The quality of the carpet embroidery was magnificent. The red bamboo leaves are embroidered delicately with edges and corners, like the birthmark on Mu Wan’s chest.
She thinks it looks pretty.
A deep voice came to her mind. Mu Wan’s head buzzed, and she laughed softly.
As she laughed, a man appeared in front of Mu Wan. She lowered her head and could only see his lower body, which was tall and slender, with long legs.
In a trance, Mu Wan smelled a faint smell of disinfectant. She moved her eyes, raised her head, and saw the person before her.
Liu Qianxiu stood quietly in front of Mu Wan. The patient, who should have been in the observation ward, leaned against the wall to sober up. She wore a red dress, and her small white face was flushed like ripe berries. A pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to have been washed by rain was bright. When focusing, their pupils gradually shrank, like a demon cat.
She looked at him with her red lips curled up, and her eyes crinkled. Her voice was like wine brewed by bayberry, lazy, sexy, hoarse, sweet…!
”Meow~ Liu Daochang came to catch me!”
The author has something to say:Liu Daochang: It’s the little fairy who caught you.
Naughty "cat demon"

ReplyDeleteShe should be grateful that the pain killer in her system (body system) is weakening/diminishing. Taking alcohol with the pain killer for surgery still running in her body is not the brightest idea of staying whole and alive.
