Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 869 - 867: Which People Are Not to Be Offended? (First Update)

The crew had become more wary of Si Han. Although it wasn’t clear what kind of background Xinying Entertainment had, the fact that they could give a newcomer, who had no fame at all, a front-page story in the most popular entertainment newspaper showed the company’s influence.

The only exception was He Yinyin, who scoffed at the report.

"Tch, some nobody. Who knows what methods they used or what shady things they did to land that front-page coverage? But you know, it’s not like there haven’t been flash-in-the-pan starlets before. When they have a benefactor’s favor, they can get anything they want, but when they fall from that favor, they become nobodies. Being confident in my own right is much more reliable!"

Her words were merely a sarcastic jab at Si Han, implying she only got her moment in the limelight due to the favor of a wealthy patron. Unlike her, who was born into a wealthy family and could have anything she wanted just by asking her family.

When she said these words, she was full of smugness. Unfortunately, there’s always someone or something greater in the world. What her family possessed was nothing compared to the Ji Family, like an ant in front of an elephant. Even if her family wanted to compete this time, under the weight of a giant like the Ji Family, they were destined to get nothing. The fact that they weren’t totally crushed was already her good fortune! Or one might say, the Ji Family’s kindness.

These words of hers couldn’t reach Si Han’s ears and didn’t affect her; the girl was just as focused as ever on figuring out her character both in front of and behind the camera.

But just because Si Han couldn’t hear it, doesn’t mean the Ji Family didn’t hear.

When the words reached the Ji Family, Little Treasure was the most unable to contain himself.

"Brother, let me handle this! I’ll make sure she knows there are some people she cannot afford to offend!"

To Little Treasure, while his sister might be a bit of a fool and bullying her brought a strange satisfaction, that was his exclusive privilege as Young Master Ji. What was He Yinyin, some worthless piece of crap? Just the daughter of some nouveau riche family with a slightly wealthy uncle, and with that kind of ability and resources, she thought she could bully Young Master Ji’s sister?

Hmph, they’re not even in the same league!

Da Bao naturally had plenty of ways to shut He Yinyin up and make her concede. But since Little Treasure hated her so much, not letting him vent a bit would make the household uneasy.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then."

Little Treasure made an ’OK’ gesture to him and turned to start making arrangements.

A couple of days later, Si Han was in the middle of a romantic scene with Fang Kai. After several takes had been scrapped, Si Han finally managed to get into the right emotional state after spending a long time brooding in a corner. Now, in front of the camera, Si Han, with red-rimmed eyes, looked at Fang Kai as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t, her pitiful expression making even Director Sun and the staff feel a twinge of sadness.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a startled cry shattered the good atmosphere on the set.

Director Sun, who was nervously gripping the script while watching the emotional scene on camera, was so startled by the exclamation that he nearly dropped his script. Enraged, he turned, his mustache bristling, and shouted fiercely at the distant culprit, "He Yinyin, get out of here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the script flew out of his hand, straight at He Yinyin’s face!

A flicker of panic flashed across Yinyin’s laughing face. She dodged the script and scurried into the makeup room to seek refuge!

Her assistant quickly picked up the fallen script and, in a panic, handed it back to Director Sun with both hands. "Director Sun... I’m sorry, Yinyin was just too excited, so she..."

"Excited my ass! Is it okay to scream on set just because you’re excited?" The interrupted Director Sun was extremely irritable, snatching the script and flinging it at the assistant again.

The assistant didn’t dare to dodge, standing still and taking the hit. A small cut appeared on her face, seeping red, but even so, she didn’t dare to run. Her boss had angered Director Sun, and if she didn’t let him vent a bit, life wouldn’t be easy going forward.

"Get out!"

Director Sun’s eyes were blazing, but seeing the assistant’s face bleeding, he couldn’t do much more, waving her off angrily, signaling her to get out of his sight.

So why was He Yinyin so happy? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As it turned out, she had received an invitation to a hugely popular variety show in the country. The show, which interspersed interviews and games, had sky-high ratings, and the guests were all top-tier A-list stars. No wonder He Yinyin was so thrilled to receive this invitation.

But her happiness was her business; the fact that she had offended Director Sun was undeniable. Fortunately, although Director Sun was a bit eccentric, he knew where to draw the line professionally and did not make things difficult for her in front of the camera.

But her gossiping and other antics, which Director Sun found extremely annoying, combined with today’s offense, led him to mentally cross He Yinyin’s name off his list, deciding never to use her again.

He Yinyin, of course, knew none of this and was still basking in the joy of joining the hottest variety show.

And as for Si Han, who was so focused on acting that she was oblivious to everything else, she naturally knew nothing of this either. She spent the whole day shooting emotional, sad scenes, and even after wrapping up, she found it hard to shake off the lingering melancholy.

On the way home, Tian Fang, sensing something was off about her mood, tried hard to cheer her up. Yet, the usually talkative Si Han remained silent the whole way, and even at home, she was still unusually downcast.

She came home earlier than everyone else that day. When Da Bao and Little Treasure returned home, they found the living room empty, though a car used to transport Nuonuo was clearly parked outside the courtyard.

"Auntie Guan, where’s Nuonuo?" Da Bao quickly walked into the kitchen to ask Aunt Guan, who was preparing dinner.

"Oh, she doesn’t seem to be feeling well today. As soon as she got home, she went straight to her room and hasn’t come out since."

Da Bao’s heart tightened immediately. Could it be she had heard some unkind words and was upset?

Da Bao turned and headed towards Nuonuo’s bedroom, but midway, his phone rang. Da Bao picked it up, glanced at it, a hard glint flashing in his eyes, and pressed the reject button, then switched it to silent before tossing it onto the sofa.

Little Treasure, lounging on the sofa playing games, noticed his brother’s reaction, raised his eyebrows quizzically, and tentatively asked, "The guy named Qi?"

Da Bao snorted through his nose and turned to find Nuonuo.

Always stirring up trouble, Little Treasure crawled over to pick up Da Bao’s phone from the sofa and saw the caller was persistently trying to get through.

With a mocking smile in his eyes, Little Treasure pressed the button to answer the call.

"Hello!" Little Treasure said politely, although his playful, cold look was so intense it was chilling.
