The Crazy Son-In-Law

Seeing Xiao Shun being stopped by someone, Mo Yibai rolled her eyes in silence. This idiot didn’t know if he was really dumb or pretending; could just anyone go in there? With this thought, she instructed, “Wait for me outside. I’ll come out after I’m done with my makeup.”

Shrugging, Xiao Shun gave Mo Yibai an indifferent look.

For a girl, applying makeup is a lengthy process, especially since Mo Yibai was here today for a screen test for the role of “Huang Rong”; the makeup alone would take hours.

In this huge studio, Xiao Shun, at a loss for what to do, found it hard to concentrate on anything meaningful.

Unable to find anything else to do, he decided to smoke.

“Hiss!”

As he lit up and took a drag, before he could even exhale, an irate person came charging towards him.

“You from that department, don’t you know smoking is not allowed in the studio? Can you afford to compensate if you damage the equipment or the set? Get out of here!” The person berated him, making Xiao Shun feel extremely embarrassed.

However, since he had broken the rules first, there was nothing much to say.

“Sorry, my bad,” Xiao Shun said sheepishly, extinguishing the cigarette and tossing it into a nearby trash can.

But his attempt to defuse the situation did not satisfy the furious staff member; instead, it further fueled their anger. They continued reprimanding, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Get out of here right now!”

Xiao Shun’s expression darkened as he coldly stared at the person’s provocative face, knowing that they were deliberately trying to embarrass him. Just a moment ago, he had caught a glimpse of a woman nearby, a woman with a mischievous smile on her face.

This woman had a brief encounter with him last night and was none other than Liu Yufei, who was at odds with Mo Yibai.

He had noticed someone smoking in the studio earlier, and since there were no props or equipment around him, there was no risk of damage. It was clear that the staff member, Zhou Qi, had come to pick a fight under someone else’s orders.

At this point, Xiao Shun paid no attention to the self-righteous Zhou Qi and instead looked towards Liu Yufei, saying calmly, “Miss Liu, don’t you think this joke has gone too far?”

Realizing that her scheme had been exposed, Liu Yufei showed no embarrassment and instead tried to turn the tables, “Is what you said to me last night too much?”

At this, Xiao Shun pretended to ponder and asked, “I wonder, Miss Liu, what four words you are referring to?”

Seeing his feigned ignorance, Liu Yufei fell for it and furrowed her brows, saying, “Taking advantage of someone else’s territory!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had been played, but it was too late to take them back!

Xiao Shun immediately smirked, looking pleased with himself, and teased, “Hehe, you said that yourself, you know!”

“You…”

Liu Yufei was trembling with anger, feeling helpless against such shamelessness. It was because of this jerk that the good time she had with Zhou Xiaobin last night had been spoiled.

Originally, Mr. Zhou had agreed to take her home after the auction to “discuss in-depth” and “tailor-make” the movie, but after Xiao Shun’s interference, Zhou Xiaobin clearly lost interest and left Liu Yufei disappointed.

Suddenly, a stunning figure appeared before them, her graceful posture and beautiful face even dimming the lights in the studio.

“Feifei, what’s going on?” The melodious voice, like that of a warbler, reached Xiao Shun’s ears once again.

Unfortunately, though the voice was pleasant, Xiao Shun was not impressed.

Pouting, Liu Yufei pointed at the dazzling and alluring Cao Wanqing and said, “Miss Cao, you arrived just in time. This guy just bullied me!”

Following Liu Yufei’s gesture, Cao Wanqing’s expression changed instantly.

What is he doing here too? Enemies meeting naturally leads to extra hostility.

Seeing this, Cao Wanqing sneered, “Huh, is bullying a girl something a real man does?”

Upon witnessing this, Zhou Qi knew it was time to get his lunch, realizing that he could only help Liu Yufei so much.

At this point, Xiao Shun completely ignored the disgruntled Zhou Qi, instead glaring at Cao Wanqing, who was targeting him unjustly.

Was this woman taking herself a bit too seriously? Was she being too arrogant?

“Miss Cao, what you said is not right. I can’t be bothered to explain the reasons to you. But you immediately attacked my noble character. Do you have ulterior motives?” With a sneer, Xiao Shun raised an eyebrow at the visibly furious Cao Wanqing, his arrogance palpable.

You? Noble character?

Cao Wanqing almost gagged at the absurdity of it, but remembering the last question in Xiao Shun’s earlier words, she grew even angrier.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

A flame seemed to ignite in her starry eyes, and Cao Wanqing glared at Xiao Shun, speaking disdainfully, “Ulterior motives for you? Even if I were blind, I wouldn’t have any ulterior motives towards you!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun whistled lightly and sneered, “Heh, in the end, only you know if you’re really fragrant!”

“You…”

Now, Cao Wanqing, who had initially planned to confront Liu Yufei about the matter, was equally incensed.

Playing with me?

You’re still too young!

“Feifei, let’s not lower ourselves to his level. Let’s go!” A moment later, Cao Wanqing grabbed Liu Yufei’s hand, glared fiercely at Xiao Shun, and walked off towards the dressing room.

Cao Wanqing’s appearance today, just like Liu Yufei and Mo Yibai, was to compete for the role of “Huang Rong.” However, unlike most who sought fame and influence, she was merely a fan of Jin Yong’s work.

Cao Wanqing came from an unparalleled background, and her position in the entertainment industry was high. Her presence here was simply to pay homage to her idol.

She had been a fan of martial arts novels since childhood, and her ideal boyfriend was someone like those invincible protagonists in the world of martial arts.

For this reason, she had not yet found someone who met her standards, although she had recently heard that a certain Gu Baiyi seemed to fit the bill. Unfortunately, she hadn’t had the chance to meet him.

As for someone like Xiao Shun, Cao Wanqing naturally looked down on him, wishing she would never have to see him again!

An hour later, Mo Yibai, dressed in ancient costume, finally emerged from the dressing room.

She was already beautiful and exuded a classical charm, but at this moment, dressed in light, elegant attire and with a pure and serene makeup, she looked even more stunning, leaving Xiao Shun dazzled.

However, as this exquisite beauty, reminiscent of an ancient painting, approached him with a hint of anger on her face, she questioned the bewildered Xiao Shun, “Were you causing trouble again just now?”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Shun was bewildered.

Mo Yibai fumed, “Miss Cao just told me inside. Don’t play dumb with me here!”
