CHAPTER 280: FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES

Ye Feimo remained unconscious for two more days. During this time, Cai Xiaojing called Wen Nuan, urging her to return to China for a cosmetic brand event. Wen Nuan honestly confessed that she had just barely escaped death in Rome, was currently very weak, and simply couldn’t attend the event. Ye Feimo was also unconscious, so neither of them could return temporarily. The contract had been signed long ago, and her presence was required, otherwise they would face a lawsuit.

Cai Xiaojing, upon hearing they were both injured, was extremely anxious. "Do you want me to come to Rome to see you?"

Wen Nuan smiled. "No need, Sister Xiaojing. You just need to sort out the contract for me. Can I really not attend? Will there be a big penalty for breach of contract?"

"Mr. Ye has plenty of money; what’s there to fear? They wouldn’t dare do anything. Just rest and recover. Don’t let the media find out about this," Cai Xiaojing paused, then couldn’t help but add, "Wen Nuan, why do you always get into trouble wherever you go?"

This question warranted investigation.

Wen Nuan silently teared up. "Sister Xiaojing, it really wasn’t my fault. Those kidnappers were just so blind; they grabbed the wrong person. This was an unforeseen disaster for me."

Cai Xiaojing chuckled. "With so many people on the streets of Rome, for them to grab the wrong person and still get you, your luck really is incredibly bad."

"I met Yeyan, you know," Wen Nuan said mysteriously.

"What’s so strange about meeting Yeyan? I see him on TV every day."

"Sister Xiaojing, I’m serious. He’s actually Mr. Ye’s cousin, and he’s in Rome too. He’s even more charming in person than in the movies, so handsome! If you saw him, you’d definitely be smitten," Wen Nuan said with a smile. Cai Xiaojing was also a fan of Yeyan, even more so than Wen Nuan.

"My dear, are you at Yeyan’s house?"

"Yes! He also has two older brothers and an older sister, all exceptionally beautiful. They’re ridiculously gorgeous; I’ve never seen such beautiful people," Wen Nuan said, her eyes alight with smiles. When two fans talked about their idol, their eyes held nothing but adoration.

Cai Xiaojing was silent for a moment. Wen Nuan called out a few times, but she didn’t respond. Wen Nuan wondered, "Sister Xiaojing, are you still listening?"

"Wen Nuan, I’m booking a flight to Rome right away to see you," Cai Xiaojing said decisively and swiftly, without any hesitation. Wen Nuan could already picture her hanging up the phone and flying to Rome on the fastest flight.

Wen Nuan obediently embraced her. "Great, great! Come quickly! I miss you too. Come and tease Yeyan; he’s very easy to tease."

"Wen Nuan, you silly girl, how can you be so flippant towards our idol?" Cai Xiaojing lectured earnestly. Wen Nuan was about to ask when she had changed her personality, when she heard Cai Xiaojing say, "We should just bravely pounce on him."

Wen Nuan: "..."

"Is my work really okay?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve handled it very well. There won’t be any problems," Cai Xiaojing said. "There are no flights to Rome today, damn it. I’ll go tomorrow. Remember to wait for me! Oh, is Yeyan near you? I want to talk to him."

"He just went downstairs. I’ll tell him to call you when he’s free. When he comes up, I’ll call you so you can talk to him, Sister Xiaojing. Seriously, he’s really fun, very humorous." Wen Nuan had an incredibly good impression of Mo Xiaobai.

"Nonsense, I knew that from seeing him at events. You don’t need to tell me," Cai Xiaojing said. Wen Nuan’s assistant, Lily, kept waving at Cai Xiaojing, then pointed to her own phone. Cai Xiaojing turned her face away, and the assistant burst into tears.

"You can’t ignore the organizers like this, Sister Xiaojing! They’re threatening to sue us!"

"Her attitude is none of your business. Sue if you want to sue, who’s afraid of whom? Do you think I’ve never been to court?" Cai Xiaojing said, then hung up the phone and tossed it to her assistant. "You don’t have to answer his calls for now. If anyone asks about Wen Nuan, just say you don’t know where she went."

"Oh, okay." The assistant stared wide-eyed at Cai Xiaojing. Was that all it took?

Just one phrase: "Sue if you want to sue, who’s afraid of whom? Do you think I’ve never been to court?"

And that was it?

The assistant’s face filled with admiration. This was her goal. When could she talk like Cai Xiaojing?

So envious.

So formidable.

Cai Xiaojing went to check flights. Lin Ning knocked on the door and entered her office. Cai Xiaojing looked up, then back down. Lin Ning walked over and tapped the table. "Why isn’t Wen Nuan back yet?"

"She’s in Rome, injured, was kidnapped. I heard she fell from seven or eight meters high, and Mr. Ye cushioned her fall. Both of them are in bad shape, like they’ve used up all their luck," Cai Xiaojing said. "The New Year just passed; can’t people get a break?"

"You said she was kidnapped in Rome?" Lin Ning whistled. Cai Xiaojing looked up. Why did she feel that whistle sounded a little gleeful?

"These kidnappers truly don’t know what’s good for them, kidnapping Wen Nuan in Rome. That’s like poking a tiger in the eye," Lin Ning said, clicking his tongue, then looked at Cai Xiaojing. "Are you busy lately?"

"Before Wen Nuan called, I wasn’t. Now I am," Cai Xiaojing said, checking for the fastest flights. A direct flight to Rome tomorrow morning at 8 AM. Lin Ning leaned in, saw her checking flights, and raised an eyebrow. "You’re going to Rome?"

"Yes."

"You’re really Wen Nuan’s babysitter. She’s injured, and Mr. Ye is with her. What are you going to do? Be a third wheel?" Lin Ning said, frowning. He wanted to take Cai Xiaojing to the mountains for a few days to soak in hot springs, not to Rome, to hell with Rome.
