Chapter 331: Chapter 331: I Clash with These Lunatics
Su Jianren’s words instantly turned the family recognition meeting into a wedding procession.
How could he possibly not recognize Zhou Yanbai?
His family wealth was no match for Zhou’s.
If there were a son-in-law with a stronger status and position, why would he choose those old fogies when just the Zhou Family alone could provide his company with years of worry-free operation?
Su Ran hadn’t expected the marriage to Zhou Yanbai.
But it seemed to be her best option, even though she hated him in her heart.
As long as Zhou Yanbai could save her from this miserable life, she was willing to do whatever he wanted.
Seeing both of them silent,
Su Jianren felt even more certain he had guessed right.
Their relationship must be out of the ordinary.
Now he was speaking as Su Ran’s father, so he wasn’t afraid of Zhou Yanbai. He looked up defiantly, locking eyes with Zhou Yanbai, “If you’re going to marry my daughter, you need to get the engagement processed properly. Otherwise, it’s unfair to let her, a girl, follow you around without a proper status—she needs to save face!”
“I could also decide not to take her back with me, but you need to marry her quickly in the near future, or I’ll take my daughter away.”
Jiang Nanshu hadn’t expected this turn of events.
Suddenly, it was all about rushing the marriage.
Jiang Nanshu felt a surge of excitement.
[Together! Together! Lock them in!]
After a long while, Zhou Yanbai finally curved his lips, his emotions unclear as he looked at Su Ran, “Ranran, you go back with him first, and I’ll come to get you later.”
Su Ran looked at him in disbelief.
Zhou Yanbai smiled gently at her, “Trust me.”
Su Ran’s lips twitched slightly, “Okay.”
Why was her fate always in someone else’s hands, starting with Yuan Feng, then to Zhou Yanbai, and now a father imposed on her out of nowhere?
These people were using her and were going to destroy her.
She turned to Su Jianren, “I’ll go back with you.”
Su Jianren sneered inwardly; he had thought this Zhou guy really loved her, but it was just so-so!
Su Jianren nodded in satisfaction, “Ranran, Daddy will surely treat you well. If you have no objections, shall we leave this afternoon?”
Su Ran’s expression was calm, “Okay.”
What could possibly be wrong with her?
The drama “Luanying” was ruined anyway, her acting career was over, and now she was facing a huge penalty for breaching her contract with the company; she didn’t even have the courage to glance at her Weibo.
She had entered the entertainment industry full of dreams, but looking back now, not only had she not made a name for herself, she was utterly disgraced.
Su Ran’s eyes lowered, then nobody should think of getting off easily.
After thanking Zhou Zhenghui profusely, Su Jianren took Su Ran and left Port City.
Jiang Leyi was still not fully recovered and felt dizzy after regaining consciousness for a while. Liu Yueru worried about her daughter, so she had the servants take Jiang Leyi back to her room to rest.
Lu Qingyan stayed longer at the Zhou Family Mansion; he seemed to have some business to discuss with Zhou Zhenghui, and the two went to the study for a detailed talk.
Jiang Nanshu sat in the living room, bored, just waiting outside.
“Are you happy?”
Suddenly, Zhou Yanbai’s voice came from behind.
Jiang Nanshu gave him a sidelong glance without saying a word.
Zhou Yanbai walked over to Jiang Nanshu’s side, if one ignored his fury, the two standing together seemed harmonious.
“I’ve calculated every move, but never expected that the most crucial step would fail because of you, Jiang Nanshu. Who are you really, that you keep ruining my plans over and over?”
Jiang Nanshu instinctively wanted to retort, “I am your father.”
But then she thought of Zhou Yanxu, the blood brothers; if she became Zhou Yanbai’s father, could Zhou Yanxu escape?
She couldn’t act on impulse, so at this moment, she was frighteningly calm.
She sneered at Zhou Yanbai, “I am your grandpa, and you, this unfilial grandson, are always up to no good. As long as I’m around for one more day, I will clean house for the Zhou Family and kick you, the unfilial grandson, out!”
Zhou Yanbai: “…”
Visibly angry, he said, “I think you’re courting death. Do you really think I have a good temper? Keep provoking me, and I’ll tear you to pieces and throw what’s left into the mountains to feed the dogs.”
Jiang Nanshu, with a temper even fiercer than his, said, “I got it, go play, kiddo. Do you think your grandpa was frightened as a child? Grandson.”
Zhou Yanbai was directly provoked into laughter.
Very good.
The last person who provoked him like that is now eating dirt in the ground.
“Then give it a try!”
“I give it a try, you die, OK?” Jiang Nanshu bared his teeth at him with a brilliant smile.
Zhou Yanbai’s face was cold and indifferent, arguing with her was pointless, he walked straight out of the Zhou Family Mansion.
Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips, “No deterrent effect at all.”
Might as well have a direct fight with her.
She would have respected him as a man.
When she was only fifteen or sixteen, without any fighting prowess, she could only allow him to bring people over to torment her.
She dropped out of school, escaped from the Demon Cave of Zhou Family, lingered outside in martial arts gyms for almost two years, and only then did she learn enough fighting skills to protect herself and returned.
Taking down the ambitious Zhou Yanbai single-handedly was no simple task.
After all, Zhou Yanbai was Zhou Yanxu’s brother, he was the most suitable person to inherit the Zhou Family.
Zhou Yanxu was dead, who cared about the will.
Even if the will was protected by law, wouldn’t it be fine if the heir just died?
The plotting of murder started from that moment.
But Zhou Yanbai was a person with a penchant for evil fun, he liked to torment people until they begged for mercy, then finally let them die amidst their pleas.
Jiang Nanshu took a deep breath.
She didn’t want to deal with the Zhou Yanbai of this world for now.
But the Zhou Yanbai from her original world, who really tormented her, had to die to relieve the hatred in her heart.
…
Two days later, Luanying’s crew issued a statement, saying that they had replaced the originally cast female lead Su Ran with a popular A-list actress, known for her acting skills.
This was also the first time breaking the tradition of Director Wen’s dramas casting newcomers as female leads.
And Jiang Leyi continued to play the second female lead.
Director Wen had asked for her opinion, offering her the first choice, to take the lead female role if she wished.
But Jiang Leyi declined.
She said with a smile that she hoped to be invited by the director based on her own merit the next time, rather than taking advantage like this.
Also, she had been studying the lines and scenes of the second female role before the shooting started, she had already immersed herself in becoming such a person, and it would be difficult to switch to another character, as it would greatly discount her acting performance.
Director Wen greatly appreciated Jiang Leyi’s humility and poise.
His fondness for her continued to grow.
In the drama, he added a lot of scenes for the second female lead, seemingly training her to be the next female lead.
Three days later.
Jiang Leyi was barely able to move.
She came to the crew at the first opportunity, not wanting to hold back the crew’s progress, and no one could persuade her otherwise.
Liu Yueru had to call a medical team to stand by outside, just in case Jiang Leyi experienced any physical discomfort so they could treat her immediately.
Jiang Nanshu continued to serve as the martial arts instructor, Lu Qingyan seemed to be discussing projects with Zhou Zhenghui in Port City and spent more time at the Zhou Family Mansion these days.
Song Shizhao was truly a Movie Emperor, with profound acting skills that greatly influenced the emotions of others.
Jiang Nanshu wondered if he would still be able to remain calm if he knew his scandal had been leaked.
Thinking this, Jiang Nanshu did just that.
She anonymously leaked to a certain paparazzo about Song Shizhao’s gambling and drug abuse, including a photo of him using drugs.
The information given in the morning blew up on Weibo in the afternoon.
It happened so fast that Song Shizhao couldn’t even react.
The filming for the afternoon was thus delayed.
Song Shizhao didn’t even have time to stay, he rushed back to Beijing as the news was too big to suppress.
Even many photos of him enjoying smoking cigarettes were identified as drug use.
What he needed to do now was to undergo a hair follicle test to clear his name.
At this moment, Jiang Nanshu stood beside Director Wen, her face filled with worry, while Director Wen had an expression as if he had eaten shit.
Jiang Nanshu said somberly, “Ah, you’re so unlucky. The entire crew is nearly done for.”
Director Wen gave a deathly smile, “I must be clashing with these madmen.”
