Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 138: Who is the Foolish One?

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Who is the Foolish One?

Lin Qian hissed, her brows furrowed as she looked at her forearm, already reddened by spilled water, standing out starkly against her pale skin.

"Qian, are you okay?"

Fang Tong rushed over, anxiously supporting Lin Qian and checking her injuries.

"I’m fine."

Lin Qian shook her head, giving Fang Tong a reassuring smile. Her gaze then swept to Qiao Xiya opposite her, catching her cold, triumphant sneer.

She suddenly understood Qiao Xiya’s intentions for making her an extra.

Was it her plan all along to splash boiling water on her?

If she hadn’t reacted quickly and shielded her face with her hands, the cup of water could have scalded her face, peeling her skin at the very least.

Qiao Xiya was truly malicious at heart.

"Hey, hey, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you even pass a cup of water? You’re so clumsy! In all my years in the industry, I’ve never seen an extra so dumb!"

The scene manager came over during the disrupted shoot and began scolding Lin Qian.

Fang Tong, already furious, saw the scene manager failing to discern right from wrong and snapped, "Are you blind? If you are, go to the hospital and get your eyes checked!"

"You..."

"What ’you’? What?"

The hot-tempered Fang Tong could no longer hold back. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes coldly swept over Qiao Xiya, "Who’s the dumb one here? I think the cameraman just captured everything very carefully. Should we have him replay it in slow motion? Superstar Qiao can’t even catch a cup of water. I didn’t believe it before, but I do now! It turns out the rumors about Superstar Qiao being all flash and no substance, lacking acting skills and professionalism, are true! With your attitude and lack of talent, I see your acting career going down the drain very soon!"

Her words, brimming with the fearless audacity of a young calf facing a tiger, left everyone on set, including the director, utterly speechless.

They weren’t blind; it was clear that Qiao Xiya had done it on purpose.

The cup of hot water was specially prepared by Shen Bing, targeting Lin Qian.

However, considering Qiao Xiya’s status in the industry and her financial backers, nobody dared to confront her.

Unexpectedly, Fang Tong voiced what everyone was thinking.

Qiao Xiya glared daggers at Fang Tong, her face cycling through shades of green and white.

"Fang Tong, who do you think you are?"

Furious and embarrassed, Qiao Xiya stepped forward and raised her hand, intent on slapping Fang Tong fiercely.

But just as her hand came down, Lin Qian firmly grabbed her wrist.

"Miss Qiao, don’t go too far."

Bullying her was one thing, but trying to bully her friend was another!

Lin Qian’s eyes were cold as she glared at Qiao Xiya, flinging her arm away.

Qiao Xiya staggered backward, almost losing her balance and falling.

Shen Bing quickly stepped forward to support her and shouted at the crew nearby, "Are you all dead? Just watching them bully Qiao? What are you waiting for? Go tear their mouths apart."

Qiao Xiya always had bodyguards when she went out. Hearing Shen Bing’s command, two menacing bodyguards lurking in the corner stepped forward, heading menacingly towards Lin Qian and Fang Tong.

"What are you trying to do? Just try touching us today. I, Fang Tong, won’t let this go!"

Fang Tong pushed Lin Qian behind her, rolled up her sleeves, and fixed a steely gaze on the approaching bodyguards, clearly ready to fight.

"Our Miss Qiao’s hands are too valuable, huh? But just now, that woman splashed water and grabbed her wrist. Teach them a lesson; Miss Qiao will take the blame for any problems."

Shen Bing’s sinister voice instigated the bodyguards to teach Lin Qian and Fang Tong a lesson.

The two bodyguards obeyed orders and reached out towards Lin Qian and Fang Tong.

"Get lost, touch me and see what happens!"

Fang Tong, who had learned a bit of martial arts, swung her hand to knock away the bodyguard’s advancing hand.

The two bodyguards exchanged a look, their demeanor turning menacing and fierce.

Lin Qian had been silent, but seeing Qiao Xiya’s aggression, she quickly said, "Qiao Xiya, do you really want to pick a direct fight with us? Would escalating things really benefit you? Believe it or not, I’ll call him right now!"

"him" obviously referred to Yin Moran.

The only people present besides those watching the spectacle were Qiao Xiya’s associates.

Unwilling to suffer in the present circumstances, she had no choice but to bring up Yin Moran again to get Qiao Xiya to back off.

Qiao Xiya’s expression underwent yet another change.

With her gaze fixed steadily on Lin Qian, she spat, "Lin Qian, what are you? Do you think someone like you can threaten my position? Dream on."

She had a sister who had passed away, and that was her biggest reliance.

She couldn’t believe that Yin Moran would keep siding with Lin Qian and ignore the connection between him and her.

"What are you standing around for? Teach them a lesson, let them learn."

Shen Bing looked at Lin Qian with a face of schadenfreude, signaling to the bodyguard to make a move.

Upon receiving the command, the bodyguard, without hesitation, reached out towards the two again.

Fang Tong’s face was stern, ready to fight; not waiting for the bodyguard to make his move, she kicked at one of their legs.

The bodyguard barely dodged and dark-faced, he began to scuffle with Fang Tong.

The scene turned chaotic, and Lin Qian recklessly threw anything she could find at the bodyguard charging towards her.

But to the towering bodyguard, these objects were child’s play.

Lin Qian felt desperate as she saw the bodyguard about to catch her and quickly dashed towards the door.

She didn’t believe that if she reached a crowded place, Qiao Xiya would still dare to act so brazenly.

However, before she could reach the door, the bodyguard behind her grasped her wrist.

During the struggle, the fierce looking man raised his hand towards her.

A chill wind brushed past her ear, and Lin Qian instinctively closed her eyes, resigned to being hit.

"Stop, dare to hit her and see what happens!"

A male voice rang out, and immediately after, the grip on her hand loosened, and she fell into a warm embrace.

The man’s voice was very familiar, Lin Qian opened her eyes and saw Su Yu’an holding her tightly in his arms, his gaze fiercely fixed on the bodyguard.

Su Yu’an?

Never expecting that he would be the one to protect her at the crucial moment.

Lin Qian gasped for air, somewhat dazedly looking at him.

"Ahem, Qiao, let it go, it’s just a small matter, no need to get angry,"

An adjacent director, unable to watch anymore, walked up to Qiao Xiya and whispered in negotiation.

Qiao Xiya’s eyes sparkled watching the suddenly appearing Su Yu’an, and she sneered coldly.

"Alright, I’ll give the director face and not stoop to the level of these two lowlifes."

She knew continuing to make a scene would do her no good.

She only regretted that she hadn’t managed to splash the water on Lin Qian’s face.

With Shen Bing’s support, Qiao Xiya gracefully walked up to Lin Qian and Su Yu’an, staring at the two embracing each other, her red lips curled, "Lin Qian, so he is your financial backer! Haha, people without shame are really lascivious, not only a flirt but also stealing other people’s fiancés. I really must bow to you!"

Those words made Lin Qian clench her fists tighter.

Qiao Xiya was publicly slandering her again.

This was too much!

Just as she was about to retort, she heard Su Yu’an’s calm yet forceful voice nearby.

"Miss Qiao is a superstar, so I hope you’ll choose your words carefully. Yin Moran is my cousin. Although we’re not blood brothers, I still have some insight into his personal affairs. As far as I know, Yin Moran already has a girlfriend. I would recommend that Miss Qiao cherish her own reputation to avoid eagerly becoming an infamous homewrecker!"
