Chapter 301: Shao Qiyun Encounters Ji Buwang

Shao Qiyun wanted to dodge, but the person called Cao Yang pulled her back. “You were so arrogant previously. Why are you hiding now? Do you think this matter is over just like that? Let me tell you something—it’s not over!”

Mu Jingzhe’s face darkened as she listened to Xiao Mei’s apology. Based on Cao Yang’s words, she learned that Shao Qiyun also wanted to act. Initially, there had been a third female role, but Xiao Mei had already confirmed that she would portray it. In the end, Shao Qiyun had appeared out of nowhere and claimed to be Shao Bei’s aunt. Then, for some reason, Xiao Mei had been replaced.

According to the gossip, although Shao Bei was young, she was the youngest movie queen and she had some say in the movie, so she had spoken for her aunt. That was why the director had decided to use Shao Qiyun.

Shao Qiyun had used Shao Bei’s reputation to squeeze her opponent out of the way. Xiao Mei was heartbroken. Her fiancé, Cao Yang, couldn’t take it anymore and got serious. Coincidentally, this movie was also shooting in Ocean City. When they’d heard where Little Bei and her crew’s hotel was, they’d immediately come over. He felt that had to speak up for Xiao Mei, and that was why he had dragged Shao Qiyun over to confirm this with Little Bei.

“You’re insisting that you’re Shao Bei’s aunt in front of so many people. Tell the director now!”

Shao Qiyun was furious and anxious. She could only grit her teeth and admit it now. “Alright.” She didn’t dare provoke Mu Jingzhe, as she was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would deal with her.

The reason why Shao Qiyun had appeared in Ocean City was because she had been driven into a corner previously. She had been hunted down for her debt and she was afraid of Mu Jingzhe. Amid her desperation, Shao Qiyun had thought of her previous plan.

Since she was pretty, why couldn’t she make something of herself by acting? Shao Qiyun had started working hard in this aspect. She was quite pretty, but she’d acted as a walk-on actor a few times.

Shao Qiyun wasn’t satisfied, which was why she’d made use of Little Bei’s reputation. Needless to say, it was quite useful. In addition, she’d curried favor with the casting director and had actually succeeded in the end.

Initially, she had felt smug. From then on, she would rely on acting to become somebody and realize her dream of reaching the peak of her life. In the end, she had just started filming when someone had dragged her over and made a scene in front of Little Bei.

If Little Bei acknowledged her, then she would definitely be different in the future. However, she knew that Little Bei wouldn’t acknowledge her, so she could only deny it herself.

“I was wrong. I’ll go talk to the director now…”

“You still have to apologize to Xiao Mei,” Cao Yang requested.

“Okay.”

When Mu Jingzhe saw Shao Qiyun apologize, seeing that she was sensible and didn’t want to see her either, she worriedly bent down to pick Xiao Wu up. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Ji Buwang’s voice.

“Jingzhe, what’s wrong?”

Ji Buwang had said that he was going to calm down, but it took him a long time to calm down. Unexpectedly, just as he had been about to leave for the airport, he had seen Mu Jingzhe. He was afraid that she was in trouble, so he had rushed over.

“I’m fine.” Mu Jingzhe shook her head. “Why are you still here?”

Ji Buwang scratched his head. “I have something to do… so…”

Ji Buwang glanced in Shao Qiyun’s direction. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take you guys there.”

“Will you make it in time? Don’t you have to pack up and go to the airport?”

“No need. It’ll be quick.” Ji Buwang reached out. “Come, Xiao Wu, let me carry you.”

Xiao Wu didn’t move. Ji Buwang looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Let’s leave this place first. I’ll carry Xiao Wu.”

Ji Buwang stroked Xiao Wu’s head and took a few steps with Mu Jingzhe. In the end, Shao Qiyun, who had been apologizing, suddenly caught up to them and grabbed Ji Buwang.

When she saw Ji Buwang’s face, Shao Qiyun’s expression changed drastically. She glared at Ji Buwang, her eyes instantly turning red. “It’s you… It’s you. I wouldn’t mistake you. It’s you!”

“What are you doing?” Ji Buwang’s face darkened, and he flung Shao Qiyun’s hand away. “Who is she, Jingzhe?”

Shao Qiyun looked at Mu Jingzhe. “Mu Jingzhe, you know him?”

Mu Jingzhe frowned as she looked at Shao Qiyun. Previously, Shao Qiyun clearly hadn’t dared to look her in the eye. Why had she suddenly changed?

“I didn’t expect you to know him. Who is he?” Shao Qiyun asked, suddenly recalling the rumors in the village. “He’s the rich man who’s been wooing you? How many times have I heard about him? I didn’t expect this to be the first time I saw him.”

Shao Qiyun suddenly laughed out loud, her face filled with madness. “I didn’t expect it to be you. You know me and you were hiding from me on purpose, right? Right!”

“You’ve got the wrong person.” Ji Buwang was a little impatient.

“I could mistake anyone but you!” Shao Qiyun gritted her teeth. “You ruined me. It’s all your fault!”

Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Qiyun and had a bad premonition.

Shao Qiyun suddenly looked at Xiao Wu. Upon recalling that Ji Buwang had stroked Xiao Wu’s head just now, she sneered. “I saw what you did to Xiao Wu. You still don’t want to admit it? You’ve known Xiao Wu’s identity for a long time, right? How can you treat me like this!”

“And you!” Shao Qiyun suddenly looked at Mu Jingzhe, her eyes filled with hatred. “You’ve known for so long and deliberately hid it from me. No wonder you’re so good to Shao Zhong when he’s not your biological son. You do it to please him! You want to marry a rich man in my place. I definitely won’t let you get your wish!”

Shao Qiyun looked at Ji Buwang and at the face that had once fascinated her and been the protagonist of her countless beautiful dreams. Hatred and insanity appeared alternately in the depths of her eyes as she lunged forward. “I told you I wouldn’t be wronged in the past. You abandoned me back then. Don’t even think about abandoning me again. I’m Shao Zhong’s biological mother…”

When Ji Buwang heard Shao Qiyun’s words and saw her rushing over, he quickly moved aside and raised his hand to strike the back of her neck. Shao Qiyun fell to the ground with an indignant expression.

Ji Buwang heaved a sigh of relief and looked up to see Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu staring at him. He looked at Shao Qiyun on the ground and then at the curly hair on Xiao Wu’s head. Ji Buwang’s eyes flickered as something flashed past them.

“Let’s find a quiet place to talk. This isn’t the place to talk. She needs to calm down too.”

Mu Jingzhe slowly came back to her senses. Her mind was a mess. Shao Qiyun was agitated, and her words had been incoherent. Others might not have understood, but Mu Jingzhe had.

Shao Qiyun had actually been talking about one specific thing. She knew Ji Buwang, and Ji Buwang might be Xiao Wu’s biological father.

Mu Jingzhe hugged Xiao Wu and looked at Ji Buwang for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”

Mu Jingzhe agreed but didn’t move for a long time. Too many things flashed across her mind, and she was stunned.

Back when she’d suddenly found out about Xiao Wu’s background and learned that she wasn’t Shao Qihai’s son but Shao Qiyun’s, she had asked him who Xiao Wu’s biological father was and said that she hoped the same thing wouldn’t happen again one day. Then, Shao Qiyun had suddenly popped out and claimed that Ji Buwang was Xiao Wu’s father. His identity was especially unexpected, so she felt as if heaven was toying with them.

Back then, she had only complained because she had been really shocked. She hadn’t expected such a thing to happen today.

And this person was none other than Ji Buwang.

She was truly shocked by the revelation that it was Ji Buwang.

Was Ji Buwang really Xiao Wu’s father? Mu Jingzhe wanted to say that it was impossible, but she couldn’t.

Memories flashed past. The first time she had seen Ji Buwang, she had said that he had the same hair as Xiao Wu.
