My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 380: Turnaround

Yuran listened and gradually slipped into a deep sleep.

Bo Yan waited for a while but heard no reply; looking down, he saw the girl sleeping sweetly in his arms and smiled gently.

He pulled her closer into his embrace and then turned off the light, hugging her as they both fell asleep.

...

The shooting of "Emperor Shun of Tang" was nearing its end, and when Yuran woke up the next day, Bo Yan was no longer by her side.

Was her alarm clock this good?

Could it have gone on strike by itself?

She reached for her phone next to the pillow, only to find that the alarms were all turned off. She didn’t need to think twice to know who had done it.

On the bedside, there was a sticky note left by Bo Yan. As usual, breakfast was kept warm in the kitchen, reminding her to eat and also mentioning there was milk.

Today was somewhat special; there was an extra line added.

All the things she needed were on the dining table downstairs, "the things she needed?"

Reading this, Yuran pondered deeply, wondering what did she need?

Curious, but as soon as her feet touched the floor, her face turned white, and she sat on the edge of the bed for quite some time before going down to wash up and then downstairs.

She didn’t rush to check what she needed on the dining table, but went straight to the kitchen to get her breakfast. Seeing the document bag on the table, she was puzzled.

When she opened it and saw its contents while chewing on a sandwich, she was somewhat astonished.

She had intended to call Bo Yan but had inadvertently ended up calling Xie Cheng’s mobile phone.

"Yuran?"

As soon as Xie Cheng answered the call, his voice came through with a hint of uncertainty. Yuran cleared her throat, "Brother Xie Cheng, is my seventh brother busy right now?"

Xie Cheng glanced at Bo Yan who was busy shooting and hummed, "He’s shooting right now, is there an emergency?"

"No, no, no, it’s nothing urgent; don’t disturb him, I need you."

"Need me?"

"Yes, it’s you I need, Brother Xie Cheng," Yuran said as she flipped through the material in her hand, "Brother Xie Cheng, did you compile the material my seventh brother gave me?"

"I took care of it upon Bo Yan’s request. Is there something unclear you need to ask about?"

Yuran, "Yes, there’s a bit, I need to confirm with you, Brother Xie Cheng, where did Fu Bairan go during that missing period in her schedule?"

Xie Cheng, "Ah, about that, I had originally intended to call you, but Bo Yan said you were probably still asleep, so he told me not to rush;

since you’ve called now, let me explain. I haven’t been able to provide you with one person’s contact information;

Fu Bairan was with this individual during those missing hours. As for what they did, you can call to find out what you want to know;

I’ve already spoken with them, and you just need to ask. If they don’t tell you, contact me."

With Xie Cheng’s words, Yuran felt reassured, and she smiled, "Thank you."

Xie Cheng, "You’re welcome, call if you need anything."

After hanging up with Xie Cheng, Yuran quickly finished her breakfast and rushed out the door. She made a call to the person in question while on her way to the office.

From the outset, Yuran introduced herself and brought up Xie Cheng, laying her cards on the table. The person on the other end of the line remained silent for a while, said nothing, and only gave Yuran the location.

Yuran immediately called Qi Younian to have him meet her at the specified location, so they could both meet this person.

Qi Younian happened to be on his way to the company as well, and swiftly turned around, heading in the direction Yuran had indicated.

He arrived about fifteen minutes before Yuran. When Yuran arrived, the two stared at the old residential building in front of them, their eyes filled with confusion.

Yuran raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that the other party harbors ill will towards me?"

Qi Younian, "...Do you think Xie Cheng’s reputation is that useless? They wouldn’t dare."

In the circle, Xie Cheng carried too much weight; whether you looked horizontally or vertically at agents and public relations, he was a top-notch leader.

With looks that could easily debut him and undeniable professional skills.

Even though his previous attitude towards Yuran had been somewhat mysterious... well, it was in the past now.

Considering it again, Yuran thought it made sense. The old-style residential building had staircases, with the other party’s home on the sixth floor. The two climbed up, and Qi Younian knocked on the door.

Sounds of rustling came from inside, and when the door opened, Yuran saw an extremely plain face. The man showed no surprise at seeing the two visitors outside.

"Come in,"

He stepped aside to let them into the house.

Every door in the home was shut tightly. The two were invited to sit on the sofa as their host served them two cups of tea.

Before Yuran could even ask, the man spoke up first, "Miss Yuran, I know the purpose of your visit this time."

Yuran wasn’t surprised and nodded slightly, "Since you know, I won’t do anything unnecessary. I want to know the purpose of Fu Bairan’s visit here;

was it to ask you to alter documents? To use those documents as evidence to accuse Lu Xiao?"

"Yes..." The man admitted straightforwardly. Yuran looked at him, "I heard you graduated from the medical department of Imperial University, a young expert at the affiliated hospital,

with a promising future ahead. May I ask why you chose to help Fu Yuran?"

The man seemed a bit embarrassed, and finally, with gritted teeth, he bluntly disclosed, "Because of Fu Yuran, I was able to study back then, thanks to Fu Yuran’s sponsorship at the time;

Fu Bairan came to me, saying she was Fu Yuran’s sister, hoping I would do her a small favor;

I didn’t know Lu Xiao had nothing to do with her. In her story, Lu Xiao was merely a betrayer. Thinking of repaying a debt, I made a mistake."

This truth, in the end, was rather amusing or saddening, Yuran silently observed, and although the man excelled in some field, his naivety was indeed...

excessive...

Yuran hadn’t gotten very angry yet when Qi Younian couldn’t stand it anymore. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, pointing at the man, "You... Are you out of your mind? As a doctor, doing this is illegal.

Do you know what this is called? Perjury, Lu Xiao can sue you for this."

The man hung his head low, "I know."

"Then why did you still do it?" Qi Younian was very speechless, "If we hadn’t come knocking, would you have been smug as a ’victor’?"

"Not at all." Surprisingly, the man immediately refuted Qi Younian’s assumption, "I was preparing to explain the situation. These past few days, seeing the slander online,

my conscience has been uneasy; I know I did wrong."

"And then?" Qi Younian had no intention of letting his excuses slide.

The man’s eyes lifted slightly, looking calmly at Yuran and Qi Younian, "I am prepared to give up everything here and then take responsibility. I will start anew, but my family is innocent;

I was about to send them away before you found me, and I was not planning to escape."

Just then, a door in the apartment was opened, and an elderly woman hurried out, almost kneeling in front of Yuran. Yuran quickly helped her up, "Ma’am, you..."

The young man quickly came up and supported the elderly woman, "Grandma, didn’t I tell you not to come out?"
