Chapter 1978: Hide It Well
“Did you pay for dinner?” Xiao Yuqian turned to ask Guan Hao.
“No.” Guan Hao shook his head.
“Then who did?”
The waiter then told them it was paid by a Mr. Ma. They immediately realized it was Ma Haodong who had paid for it.
Xiao Yuqian decided to pay him back later, as she did not want to owe him anything.
Ma Haodong had to return to the Ma mansion after dinner. His driver was already waiting outside the restaurant to pick him up. After Ma Haodong had left, Guan Hao asked if Xiao Yuqian wanted to go for a movie, but she declined, as her father was still in the hospital.
Xiao Yuqian then drove Xiao Yuxin back to their home.
“I have a small favor to ask,” Xiao Yuqian pleaded on their way home. “Can you help introduce me to Ma Haodong?”
“I thought you two were already acquainted?”
“Not in that way... I mean... You know...,” Xiao Yuxin said while blushing.
Xiao Yuqian instantly understood that Xiao Yuxin had fallen for Ma Haodong and wanted her to help bring them together.
Seeing that both Xiao Yuxin and Ma Haodong were around the same age, Xiao Yuqian agreed immediately. If Xiao Yuxin actually succeeded in courting Ma Haodong, he would leave Xiao Yuqian alone, or so she thought.
“Alright. I’ll see what I can do.” Xiao Yuqian nodded.
“Thank you so much! I’ll treat you to a meal after that!”
...
It was Monday, and Xiao Guohua was scheduled for surgery. Xiao Yuqian, Xiao Yuche, Xiao Lan, and Xiao Yuxin were all waiting at the hospital.
The operation was a success. Xiao Guohua only needed to rest in the hospital for a few days, and he would be clear for discharge.
It was excellent news for the family. Xiao Yuqian was finally able to rest a little.
With all the things troubling her family gone, Xiao Yuqian had to focus on Su Jimo’s case next.
She went to the TV station to discuss the variety show that Su Jimo was going to attend. While there, she realized that Li Muhao’s new girlfriend was also on the list.
It seemed like Li Muhao got Danni on the list to boost her fame. There was no way that she could get invited to the show.
When it was the day of the shooting, Xiao Yuqian followed Su Jimo to the studio, and they were warmly welcomed.
Even though the scandal was ruining Su Jimo’s image, he was still a two-time Best Actor winner. If not for the scandal, the studio would never have gotten the chance to invite someone like Su Jimo to the show.
After meeting the crew members, Su Jimo went to get his style done. While waiting for him, Xiao Yuqian met Danni backstage.
“Xiao Yuqian! How dare you lie about Muhao having AIDS!” Danni scolded the moment they met.
After Xiao Yuqian had left them in the elevator, Li Muhao went to get a checkup to prove that Xiao Yuqian was lying.
“Hey, I was just saying what I heard. You were the one who believed it.” Xiao Yuqian shrugged.
“Don’t you know you should watch what you say? Aren’t you in the entertainment industry too? It could ruin a person’s life!”
“Do you think you’re in a position to tell me that? You were the one who spread the scandal about me having a sugar daddy, am I right?”
Hearing what Xiao Yuqian had just said, Danni’s face instantly turned pale. She thought she’d hid that well, but Xiao Yuqian had still found out.
“What the heck are you talking about?”
