Chapter 659: Chapter 657 Did it fail_1

He presumptuously assumed that Xia Ningxing had unfortunately been injured by Coach Jin and was thus forced to drop out of the casting for this film.

Moreover, to prevent "Desert Island Adventure" from receiving negative attention, he had already prepared an official statement, claiming all incidents were accidental. At that time, Coach Jin would also step forward to admit he hadn’t controlled his strength and would apologize to Xia Ningxing.

In this way, a major issue could be downplayed, and a minor one could disappear altogether.

"Report your ass!" Bei’an couldn’t hold back anymore, and the curse words flew out instantly.

Handsome Guy V was stunned, "What’s wrong? Did it fail?"

He asked incredulously and then instinctively denied the possibility.

That couldn’t be possible, could it? Coach Jin was a top-tier retired guard, capable of overpowering five or six grown men single-handedly. Even if Xia Ningxing had some fighting skills, she couldn’t possibly outfight him.

"Isn’t it a failure? Xia Ningxing took down Coach Jin in just a few moves and stepped on him under her foot!" Bei’an said through gritted teeth: "And I can tell she didn’t even use her full strength."

If she had used her full strength, she could have probably killed Coach Jin on the spot with just one move!

"She’s that powerful without even using full strength?" Handsome Guy V was shocked, his voice trembling.

How good must this woman’s skills be?

"Anyway, Xia Ningxing is a formidable opponent. You’d better come up with a new plan to deal with her quickly, or we both can expect to be publicly humiliated!" Bei’an coldly dropped the hint.

The thought of them becoming the laughing stock of the media, with him losing the male lead and Bei’an the female lead, made Handsome Guy V’s forehead break out in cold sweat.

He said, "Anan, I will think of something. Next time I’ll definitely get rid of her completely."

"Don’t disappoint me again. Also, make it look like an accident to avoid backlash from that woman’s fans and the media against ’Desert Island Adventure.’ I’m counting on this film to win awards," Bei’an knit her brows, already running out of patience.

"Anan, just relax, I’ll take care of everything," Handsome Guy V quickly promised.

"Hmm." Bei’an pressed lower her voice and asked, "By the way, did you get the medicine I asked you to buy for me?"

Perhaps with the medicine, she could surpass Xia Ningxing and wouldn’t have to resort to such troublesome measures anymore.

Handsome Guy V: "I’ve already gotten it. It should be shipped from overseas by tomorrow."

"Very good," Bei’an smirked.

Xia Ningxing was also on the phone, briefly telling Lu Fan about the day’s events: "... Help me investigate Coach Jin. He is very likely to have been bribed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan had a suspicion, "Could it be that Bei’an and Handsome Guy V are behind this?"

"That’s possible!" Xia Ningxing nodded.

"That’s utterly despicable," Lu Fan was seething with anger.

To resort to underhanded tactics when they can’t compete fairly is the behavior of animals!

"I’ll look into it. If it really is them, I will make sure the whole world sees their ’good deeds’!" Lu Fan clenched his fists and made a fierce declaration.

After hanging up with Lu Fan, Xia Ningxing called Lu Tingli.

"Wife."

As soon as the call connected, Lu Tingli’s deep and pleasant voice came through.

Emotions swirling inside her, Xia Ningxing’s voice unexpectedly choked up, "Lu."

"Are you doing okay there?" Lu Tingli asked again, his gaze gentle and his handsome face covered with a smile, as if Xia Ningxing was right in front of him.

"Don’t worry, everything is fine with me," Xia Ningxing assured him, preferring to report the good and not the bad, not wanting him to worry.

If Xia Ningxing were in front of Lu Tingli at that moment, she would have seen that he didn’t believe her at all.

Because the bodyguard had heard Lu Fan’s and Xia Ningxing’s phone conversation, he had already reported it to him truthfully.

However, Lu Tingli also knew that she didn’t mention it because she didn’t want him to worry.

This silly girl.

"Dad, were you on the phone with Mommy?" came Chuanchuan’s milky voice from the other end of the line suddenly.

Although the little one was only a year old, his language progress had been rapid, and he could already say quite long sentences in one go.

"So what if I was?" Lu Tingli glanced down at the little one who was hugging his leg and gazing eagerly at the phone in his hand.

"I want to talk to Mommy on the phone too!" The little one’s voice was soft, pausing midway to let out a milky burp, unimaginably cute.

A vivid picture formed in Ningxing’s mind, making her wish she could teleport home right away and hold the little one in her arms to dote on him.

"Wait till I’m finished," Lu Tingli said heartlessly as he pushed him away.

Hearing the father and son’s dialog, Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh, "You had better hurry up with what you’re saying; I want to talk to my son now."

Lu Tingli felt a sting in his heart, "I knew I should have never had kids."

Ever since they had had the child, he had felt his status take a nosedive.

"Stop talking nonsense," Ningxing scolded him, urging him, "And give the phone to Chuanchuan already."

"Got it," Lu Tingli said helplessly and then handed the phone to the little one.

"See that? Mommy wants to talk to me more than chatting with you!" The little one took over the phone and held up his little head proudly, utterly smug.

Suddenly, Lu Tingli had an urge to throw him straight into the trash can.

"Mommy!" The little one put the phone to his ear and called out in a sweet, tender voice, as cheerful as a little sparrow fluttering its wings.

"Mommy is here," Ningxing responded, her voice as gentle as a willow branch sweeping over the calm surface of a lake.

Chuanchuan took a deep breath, "Mommy, Chuanchuan misses you so much."

"I miss Chuanchuan too," sighed Ningxing.

Hearing that she missed him too, Chuanchuan immediately became extremely happy and asked with concern, "Mommy, are you eating well over there?"

"I am," replied Ningxing, then asked in return, "And has Chuanchuan been eating well at home?"

"I am!" Chuanchuan patted his little chest with confidence, a perfect ’good baby’ expression on his face.

"Such a good boy," Ningxing encouraged generously.

The mother and son chatted endlessly, as if they had countless things to say to each other.

Meanwhile, Lu Tingli felt so envious he was practically bubbling with jealousy, and finally, unable to endure it any longer, he bent down assertively and snatched the phone away.

"Wife, it’s getting late. Go back and rest early," he said.

Only then did Ningxing realize it had already gotten dark, "Alright, I will hang up now."

After the call ended, Chuanchuan stood with hands on hips, glaring at Lu Tingli, "Meanie! Despicable!"

Using the excuse of letting Mommy rest to prevent him from talking to her!

"I’m the meanie? I’m despicable?" Upon hearing that, Lu Tingli looked down at the little one, then let out a cold laugh, "I was actually planning to take you abroad to find your mommy, but now it seems, forget it."

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

"You’re going to find Mommy?" Chuanchuan was both surprised and delighted, and quickly started running after him with his small legs going "thud, thud, thud."
