My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 369: Who is Investigating Yuran

On the return journey, the car was quiet for a long time, Yuran fiddled with the small daisy earrings in her hand, glancing sideways at Kang Zhenyu.

"Kang, what do you think about this matter?"

Kang Zhenyu, who was driving, didn’t look too good, "If Fu Bairan has a powerful backer behind her, then there’s no way Lu Xiao can escape this.

If not this time, there will be other traps next time. This is something that Boss Yu should be able to foresee."

"Exactly, but I don’t remember ever offending any power that grand."

"Xi Nian?"

Kang Zhenyu was just speculating, "Boss Yu, with all the invitations from Huanya that you constantly reject, do you think Huanya might be creating trouble for us behind the scenes?"

"No..." Yuran shook her head, "I have met Xi Nian, and although he doesn’t seem too friendly, he wouldn’t stoop so low."

Kang Zhenyu was still skeptical, "Boss Yu, it’s said that you can’t judge a book by its cover."

Yuran still trusted her intuition, she continued to shake her head, "No, my gut tells me it has nothing to do with Xi Nian."

Kang Zhenyu was surprised, and his surprise came from Yuran’s trust in her own intuition.

But he was a man who knew when to stop, so he didn’t continue to argue. Only by uncovering the truth could anyone fully understand the situation.

...

In a high-end apartment in the capital,

"Sister Ruyan, I’ve looked into the matter you instructed, and according to our tech department’s ID tracking, that Bloodstained Battlefield Asura Sword and Yuran are the same person;

so this time, what we did didn’t break the old master’s rules;

It was others who wronged us first, and not us picking fights deliberately."

A girl dressed in a black suit stood behind a tall woman, presenting the facts she had found.

The woman referred to as Sister Ruyan stood about 174 centimeters tall, with long, straight, slender legs, and even from the back, one could tell her features were attractive.

Upon hearing this, she turned around, and what first caught the eye was a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, carrying an exotic charm due to her mixed heritage.

A rare beauty indeed.

She placed the red wine from her hand on the bar, took the few documents from her assistant’s hand, glanced over them, and handed them back.

"So, how is her studio faring now?"

The assistant looked up at the woman before responding, "Despite a minor hiccup, the outcome has still followed expectations."

"In your estimation, how long can her little studio last?"

"Xia Sister says, at most one month."

Xia Ruyan curled her lips into a cold, rigid smile, "That’s good, let the news that Yuran is the Bloodstained Battlefield Asura Sword out."

"Let it out?" The assistant was puzzled, "Sister Ruyan, won’t this be promoting Yuran?"

"Promoting?" Xia Ruyan scoffed, "She doesn’t have the power to make me promote her. Releasing it now would only bring her negative publicity;

and with both of her movies not yet released, I’d like to see her turn the tide against me."

The Little Assistant nodded repeatedly, "Sister Ruyan, I heard that Miss Xia Ji will soon graduate and return to the country."

"Xia Ji is coming back?"

The Little Assistant hummed in confirmation, "Sister Xia instructed me to inform you in advance; the old master has ordered a banquet for the young miss’s return, and all members of the Xia Family must attend."

Xia Ruyan’s fingers tensed to the point of turning white, "Whom has the grandfather invited to the banquet?"

Once the assistant sensed something off in her voice, she didn’t dare to hide anything. With her head bowed, she rapidly spilled the beans, "The four major families, as well as several second-tier houses, have been invited in large numbers."

"Such a fuss for a bastard child?"

The Little Assistant dared not speak.

The little young miss of the Xia Family, Xia Ji, was a legitimate daughter of the Xia Family’s youngest child born out of wedlock, and she bore a striking resemblance to the deceased youngest son of the Xia Family.

It seems the more you lose, the more you cherish what you’ve lost, and thus the elder of the Xia Family held special affection for his youngest granddaughter.

This favoritism naturally caused displeasure and envy among the other members of the Xia Family.

But the Xia Family’s perception of the youngest granddaughter was very positive, from the patriarch down to the house servants; everyone liked her. She was clear-headed in her actions, without a trace of the haughtiness expected of a young miss.

Instead, she saw things too clearly, which is why she left home early to pursue her studies independently.

She wouldn’t inquire about other matters at all.

But just because you don’t trouble others, doesn’t mean they won’t trouble you.

This was where the contradiction within the Xia Family lay.

Xia Ruyan hummed lightly, "The Xia Family’s darling has to attend the welcome banquet, naturally."

However, the underlying discontent in this scenario was rather intriguing.

The Little Assistant suddenly thought of something and said indifferently, "There’s also one more thing, Sister Ruyan."

"What is it?"

The Little Assistant hesitated for a moment, "Some things regarding Yuran, we can’t find any information, no matter how much we search, we just can’t penetrate it."

Xia Ruyan frowned, "When you were looking into this, you didn’t stir up the Bo Family, did you? Did you take care of the matters I asked for meticulously?"

The Little Assistant nodded, "Yes."

"As long as you do as I said, it’s fine. As long as the Bo Family hasn’t abandoned Yuran completely, small moves are permissible, but nothing major, especially when it comes to Bo Family matters. There should not be any involvement whatsoever."

The Little Assistant nodded repeatedly, "Don’t worry, Sister Ruyan, we’ve carefully assessed everything you’ve ordered."

"Good, and what about the audition at Huanya? Has it been arranged?"

"Sister Xia said next Monday at nine in the morning, on the 32nd floor of the Huanya Building for the audition. She will come to pick you up then."

"Alright," Xia Ruyan acknowledged, "Have you really heard that Huanya is very keen on Yuran playing the female lead in the new drama and has invited her to audition?"

"That’s what they’re saying internally, and it was Gui Yu who made the call himself."

Xia Ruyan’s eyes were piercing. She had been laid up for over half a month previously because of the curse of the Bloodstained Battlefield Asura Sword, and she hadn’t forgotten the grudge.

Plus, she could tell that one of the people in those photos was Bo Yan, but she dared not touch any news that involved the Bo Family.

She wouldn’t dare touch Yuran openly, but behind the scenes, she had plenty of tricks up her sleeve.

Just wait and see.

...

On the set of "Emperor Shun of Tang".

"Director Lin, aren’t you taking a rest?" After receiving the message, Xie Cheng lingered around Director Lin and then asked with a mock smile, as Director Lin gave him a sidelong glance.

"What are you plotting with that smug look on your face?

Is it that you have urgent business with Bo Yan? Otherwise, why the rush?"

Xie Cheng, "Eh, Director Lin understands me. There is indeed an urgent matter here, I was planning to seek out our artist, so how much longer before you can take a short break, Director Lin?"

Lin Zhan waved his hand, "Soon, soon, ten minutes."

"Oh."

After finishing his scene, Bo Yan had yet to clean the messy bloodstains off his face when he saw Xie Cheng coming toward him in a rush, with a serious expression.

The moment he approached, Xie Cheng spoke up, "Gao Can just called me; someone is looking into your wife."

Bo Yan’s chilling gaze narrowed slightly, "Who is looking into her?"

"I’m not sure of the details, but the other party isn’t bad."

"Then let Gao Can find out who is investigating Yuran."
