Chapter 237: Chapter 237 This is the last time I see him

The next day.

Inside a private villa, an elderly man with silver hair and white beard was enjoying his tea.

Ji Yunran and Mu Qianfan were invited in by the servant.

The two respectfully greeted the old man, "Master Duan Song, hello."

Duan Song appeared very kind and compassionate as he nodded at Mu Qianfan, "Mr. Mu, please come with me to the room upstairs."

Ji Yunran wanted to follow, but Duan Song raised his hand in a stopping motion, "I’m sorry, my treatment is very secretive, and outsiders are not allowed to watch."

Ji Yunran forced a smile, "I just really want to see the process."

"The process is not important, the result is what matters. Miss Ji, aren’t you very satisfied with the current result?"

"I am very satisfied, I’m just a bit curious."

Duan Song directly pierced through her thoughts, "Is it curiosity or mistrust? If it’s the latter, I can refuse this business."

"I’m sorry, Master Duan Song. If there is any way I offended you, I apologize."

Duan Song snorted coldly, "Confidence in those you hire, suspicion makes you retire them."

Mu Qianfan smiled lightly, "Yunran, don’t be nervous, my sleep and mental state have been very good lately. After today’s treatment, my depression will also be completely turned around."

Ji Yunran nodded, "Okay, then I’ll wait here for you."

One hour later, the treatment ended.

Duan Song and Mu Qianfan came downstairs.

Ji Yunran’s eyes sparkled, unable to suppress her joy, she quickly approached, "How did it go?"

Mu Qianfan smiled, "I feel even more at peace."

Duan Song laughed lightly, "In this world, there is nothing I, Duan Song, cannot do."

Ji Yunran handed over a check, "This is a little something from me, I hope the master can keep it confidential, after all, we are both celebrities, and it would not be good if this got out."

Duan Song took it and checked the zeroes.

Five million for hush money, quite calculated.

Added to the previous five million, that’s only ten million in total, such an appearance fee really makes him roll his eyes.

Duan Song waved his hand, "Alright, leave now, I need to rest, today was quite tiring."

After speaking, he ignored them and went straight upstairs.

...

As Mu Qianfan couldn’t film due to a facial injury, the crew planned to first shoot Ji Yunran’s scenes.

Mu Qianfan, wearing a mask and sunglasses, escorted Ji Yunran back to the set.

The two, appearing together without avoidance, became a hot topic among onlookers.

Mu Qianfan accompanied Ji Yunran while Xu Shuo and Cheng Shuang served by the side.

Xu Shuo felt dissatisfied, complaining about becoming Ji Yunran’s errand runner.

Soon, Ji Yunran prepared to change into her costume, and Mu Qianfan and Xu Shuo went outside to wait.

Xu Shuo suddenly recalled the day on set when Fu Jinqiao, eyes red, left after being dumped, and he thought Mu Qianfan was quite harsh.

After dating for so long, just a word of breakup and she was sent away.

Now, unapologetically entering and exiting with his new love, it was practically public.

Xu Shuo couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Mu, you and Jinqiao?"

Mu Qianfan said coldly, "We broke up, don’t mention her again, I don’t want Yunran to be unhappy."

Xu Shuo frowned, "But how long have you and Ji Yunran known each other, gotten acquainted?"

Mu Qianfan gave him a stern look, "Love is a feeling; I’ve realized I’m becoming more and more inseparable from Yunran. She feels like she’s etched into my bones, and I’m planning to propose to her."

Xu Shuo said no more, after all, matters of the heart were not his to comment on further, yet he felt sorry for Fu Jinqiao.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunran, having changed into her costume, came out.

"Who are you proposing to?"

Mu Qianfan smiled, "Who else but you?"

Ji Yunran’s face beamed with joy, "How annoying, I heard everything, no surprise now."

Mu Qianfan sighed lightly, "I’m sorry. But now, I want even more to bring you home with me."

Listening to their playful banter, Xu Shuo felt nauseous and left without even saying goodbye.

Ji Yunran felt a bit aggrieved, "Qianfan, does Xu Shuo really dislike me?"

"Ignore him. If you don’t like him, I’ll fire him."

Ji Yunran sighed lightly, "Never mind, as we spend more time together, he will think I’m a good match for you."

Mu Qianfan said softly, "You don’t need to care about others. I like you, and that’s enough."

Ji Yunran hummed, linking her arms with his, "Qianfan, let’s rehearse our scene."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, scene seventy-four started filming.

Ji Yunran had a crying scene, but it was NG’ed five times.

Director Zhang lost some patience, "Yunran, you’re not in great form today? You used to get it in one take!"

Ji Yunran tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I’m sorry, Director Zhang, I’m indeed not in the best condition today. Why don’t we film Qianfan’s scenes first?"

Director Zhang knew these two were a couple, so he nodded, "Then let’s do Qianfan’s scenes first. Later, Qianfan can help guide Yunran’s scenes."

Mu Qianfan smiled, "No problem."

Everyone understood without saying a word, the Mu Family would soon have some good news.

Fu Jinqiao, witnessing this scene, clenched her fists tightly.

She thought her tears had dried up, but seeing such a scene, she found herself crying again.

She thought about herself and realized besides crying, she had no qualities that matched up to Mu Qianfan.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder.

She turned around to see Xu Shuo offering her a tissue.

Fu Jinqiao took it and thanked him.

"I thought you and Brother Mu would end up together."

Fu Jinqiao shook her head lightly, "I thought so too, but this is reality. I think about it, and I realize I’m not excellent enough, so it’s normal not to be chosen."

"Don’t say that. In this world, who really is much better than anyone else? Isn’t being together about whether you click? You and Brother Mu actually complement each other well..."

"Thank you, Xu Shuo." Fu Jinqiao wiped her tears, "I’m planning to go back to country A for school, and I won’t come back after that. Don’t tell my eldest brother about today. I think he does not want to hear anything about me."

"You really have to go back to country A?"

Fu Jinqiao’s lips curled in a bitter smile, "You don’t know how sad I was when my parents moved me to country A in high school; after all, it took over ten hours to see him.

But I have no reason not to go back.

I used to fly back twice a month just to glance at him from afar.

After much perseverance, I finally convinced my parents to let me move back here for college.

It’s funny that just a year later, I have to go back.

Would you say this is thin love, short fate?

This is the last time I’ll see him."

Listening, Xu Shuo felt very upset, a girl’s love for a man taking up nearly half of her life, such dedication is truly precious.

He could not understand why Mu Qianfan suddenly changed his heart.

Fu Jinqiao, the Fu family’s darling, sweet and cute with a good personality, studying at a prestigious school; she clearly outshines Ji Yunran.

He just did not understand it, he really didn’t.

Fu Jinqiao smiled, "Xu Shuo, it’s been nice knowing you, I hope you have a brilliant life ahead! I’m leaving now! Farewell if fate allows it!"

Xu Shuo watched her departing figure, so lonely and sorrowful, and he felt quite sympathetic towards her.

He thought Mu Qianfan was a jerk, and infuriated, stormed back to the makeup room, flinging the door open to find Mu Qianfan instructing Ji Yunran on the scene.

He looked at Mu Qianfan, "I quit this assistant job! I became your assistant because I thought you were a man of good character, upright, a true idol, but now, your actions have completely changed my perception of you! You are nothing but a total jerk who abandons others!"

Mu Qianfan laughed lightly, "There are plenty of people willing to be my assistant. If you don’t want to do it, just leave."

Xu Shuo, utterly disappointed, left without looking back.

Ji Yunran’s voice choked, "I’m sorry, Qianfan, it’s all because of me, not only were you hit but even the assistant left."

Mu Qianfan raised his hand to rub her hair, "You’re the most important, tomorrow I’ll take you to the Mu Family."

Ji Yunran’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Absolutely certain."

"What if your family doesn’t like me?"

Mu Qianfan said, "Don’t worry, my family will like anyone I like."
