Chapter 93: Chapter 93: The International Oscars Must Call Me Brother

Is this... Chu Xiaoran’s boyfriend?!

Ah Bai wore a shocked expression, looking at the flamboyantly dressed man in front of her, and then at Chu Xiaoran, who was all smiles. She could confirm without a doubt that these two were a couple.

But when Xiao Zheng said, "Laozi is John’s son," Ah Bai was immediately baffled again.

Who was John? He was a legendary figure who had won the title of global best actor multiple times! Although he was of Chinese descent, Huaxia’s blood flowed through his veins.

However, if Chu Xiaoran had such a powerful boyfriend, why did she need to struggle on her own? Just a word from this flamboyantly dressed man could probably make Chu Xiaoran a top star in the country.

"Damn it, if I didn’t dislike Xiao Ran being a star, would she even need to dine with a director of your caliber?" Xiao Zheng said as he slapped him again.

Ah Bai suddenly realized—that was it, Chu Xiaoran’s boyfriend didn’t like her being a star, and that explained it all.

Director Wang was almost dumbfounded by then. Xiao Zheng’s arrogant and domineering demeanor, his tone, and attitude were outrageously unruly. For a moment, Director Wang was genuinely intimidated.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know she was your girlfriend. I really had no idea!" Director Wang said, almost scared out of his wits.

It wasn’t that Director Wang was afraid of getting beaten. If the other party hadn’t been John’s son, he would have taken a beating rather than cower, but who was John? He simply wasn’t someone a second-rate director like himself could compare to.

"So it’s over just like that? Let me tell you the truth, if you don’t give me an explanation today, it won’t end well!" Xiao Zheng said arrogantly.

Seeing that Chu Xiaoran wanted to be a star, he would definitely give her a boost, also to save himself the trouble of her bothering him later on.

Chu Xiaoran stood by, stunned. She had only asked Xiao Zheng to rescue her, but now he seemed to be getting carried away, even adding lines for himself.

"Cough!"

Chu Xiaoran coughed deliberately, reminding Xiao Zheng not to overdo it. After all, his identity was fake, and if it were exposed later, the consequences would be huge. She didn’t care much, but Ah Bai could not afford to blow her cover as she still needed to work in the entertainment industry.

Xiao Zheng acted as if he hadn’t heard, still looking arrogantly at Fatty Wang.

Director Wang, with a mournful face, said, "Big Brother, I really realize my mistake! To tell you the truth, although I’m directing the second half of the film, the roles were already decided long ago. I was just looking to take advantage today by fitting in a couple of extras, there’s really nothing I can make up with!"

He wasn’t stupid either; he knew the other party wanted a role as compensation, but all roles in the crew had been assigned already. Even if Chu Xiaoran agreed to the couch casting today, it would be at most a bit-part appearance.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback, and then he was also dumbfounded. It turned out to be a scam!

Both Ah Bai and Chu Xiaoran’s eyes blazed with anger. They hadn’t expected Director Wang to be deceiving them. Talking about a leading lady’s role earlier, it turned out that, at best, it was just a few lines for a minor role.

"Let’s go, Xiao Zheng," Chu Xiaoran said.

Now she understood Xiao Zheng’s intentions. He wasn’t forcibly adding lines for her, but was trying to get Fatty Wang to offer her a role. Knowing this, Chu Xiaoran felt touched.

"No way, this bastard bullied my woman. How can I let him off without leaving a deep impression?" Xiao Zheng said arrogantly.

Chu Xiaoran was taken aback, then walked up to Xiao Zheng and whispered, "Know when to stop! Don’t get too carried away with your acting; it will be bad if we can’t smooth things over later."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and then, looking at the pitiful Fatty Wang, said, "My girlfriend has a kind heart, so today I’ll let you go. Next time, remember to keep your eyes wide open. There are some people you just can’t afford to offend!"

"Thank you, it won’t happen again, definitely not." Fatty Wang hurriedly said, almost kneeling to Xiao Zheng.

The three of them left the room and left Fatty Wang behind in the private room. As for the bill and the damaged tables, chairs, and dishes, they definitely expected Fatty Wang to pay for them, giving him a chance to show his mettle!

Once outside, the three sat in Xiao Zheng’s car.

"Xiao Ran, is your boyfriend really John’s son?" Ah Bai whispered from the back seat.

Chu Xiaoran immediately burst into laughter, but she didn’t tell Ah Bai the truth because she was afraid that Ah Bai might slip up and end up harming herself.

"Yes, but he’s an illegitimate child! You really mustn’t talk about this, or it could lead to big trouble," Chu Xiaoran said mysteriously.

Ah Bai nodded vigorously, indicating that no matter what, she would never let it slip.

At an intersection, Ah Bai said she wanted to get out because her car was still in the parking lot.

"You big fool, way to go, I didn’t expect you could make up such a thing, fabricating this identity out of thin air."

After Ah Bai got out of the car, Chu Xiaoran moved to the front seat, looking playfully at Xiao Zheng. The identity felt incredibly real.

Xiao Zheng smiled. The identity was fabricated, but he really did know John, and they were quite familiar with each other. John had to call him Brother Xiao when they met.

In fact, Xiao Zheng’s acquaintance with John was accidental. At the time, John was filming in North Africa when he was threatened by local militants. Seeing he was from Huaxia, Xiao Zheng took action to help and only later found out that John was a foreign citizen.

Initially, Xiao Zheng had looked down on John, but as they spent more time together, he found John to be rather decent and also born overseas, not a migrant.

"So, how was my acting? If I went into acting, what need would there be for any other actors? All the awards would be mine," Xiao Zheng boasted.

But if he truly pursued acting, even if he had no acting skills, the awards would still be his because everyone would be intimidated by his identity—at least the domestic ones.

"Keep dreaming!" Chu Xiaoran rolled her eyes.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, then added, "Today, I saved you; how will you repay me?"

"What kind of repayment would you like?" Chu Xiaoran suddenly became suggestive, looking at Xiao Zheng with seductive eyes.

Xiao Zheng shivered, knowing this little devil was up to something, and quickly said, "Nothing, nothing, I don’t want anything. Saving you was the right thing to do!"

Chu Xiaoran looked at him displeased, knowing her little scheme had been seen through, and pouted, "You’re no fun."

Xiao Zheng was about to say something when he suddenly felt a familiar lethal aura.

"People from Wolf King, are they here again?" Xiao Zheng frowned, then turned to Chu Xiaoran, "You drive back first, I’ve got something to take care of."

With that, Xiao Zheng got out of the car, leaving the car door open.

"Hey, you big fool, where are you going?" Chu Xiaoran quickly got out and shouted, but Xiao Zheng had already run far, "This is really inexplicable."
