CHAPTER 146: 146: XU RUOXUAN, GET OUT OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

"This is my responsibility, my fault, I apologize, I’ll take responsibility..." Mu Nan’s attitude in admitting his mistake was exemplary. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he naturally understood the principle that water can carry a boat but also capsize it.

Jiang Nuo, being so young and having reached this point, it’s not easy. He must be cautious, otherwise a single misstep could cause a huge storm. That guy still wants to grow old with his wife and live a grand life; he doesn’t want anything to go wrong.

"Alright, I get it, quickly arrange for someone to come over and coordinate this with me. This is my fault to you, I owe you one. In the future, if anything comes up, I’ll back you up anytime."

"Forget about it, just don’t stab me twice. I’ll have Brother Lu contact you later, he’s more familiar with this than I am; I can only act."

"That’s nonsense. You sly old fox, if all you could do was act, why would your employer give you so many shares? Apologize to Brother Lu for me, I truly didn’t mean it, just got hot-headed, and make sure he takes his time with the rest."

Lu Mingchen received Jiang Nuo’s call and was a bit speechless.

"Oh, so it was your brother who stirred up this mess?" He was troubled, "Don’t you think you’ve had enough issues recently? On the news today, in the news tomorrow, you’re a daily hot topic. Jiang Nuo, trending is fine, but can you get something positive up there? You knew how to be mindful when you didn’t have a wife, why are you now less cautious with one?"

"It was an accident, Brother Lu. Sorry, sorry, I’ll be more careful from now on." Jiang Nuo felt wronged; he really was cautious. He didn’t know why, even after avoiding suspicion like that, those women still came to him.

Sigh... Could it be they don’t care about their reputation for money?

Well, if they did care about their reputation, why would they have plastic surgery? Many actresses in the industry have had work done. Last time she looked like this, next time her face looks off, and maybe next time, you won’t even recognize her.

Jiang Nuo didn’t know what they were thinking; they’re throwing everything away for "money".

Alright, when he entered this industry, it was also for the money, but at least he didn’t throw away his dignity like that. He still had principles about what could and couldn’t be done. He would never forget his original intention of entering the entertainment industry; only by not forgetting would he not stray.

Jiang Nuo hung up Lu Mingchen’s call and told Mu Qiuniang that Mu Nan’s movie was riddled with misfortune. Not long ago, Wei Manman had an incident, and now Xu Ruoxuan was involved. The Bai Suzhen role seemed cursed. Once again, filming had to be halted.

"Miss Wei’s recovery is going well. We could have her return to continue filming, so nothing is wasted from before," Mu Qiuniang said.

Jiang Nuo was delighted, "Wife, are you sure?"

"I’m sure." She’s delivered medicine multiple times; if she didn’t heal, one would start to question the medicine’s effectiveness.

Moreover, she’s already slowed down Wei Manman’s recovery. Otherwise, with one elixir, she’d fully recover, and others would surely find it suspicious. Even now, some might already be surprised.

"Wife, it’s not even a week yet, is it?"

"Hmm."

"Isn’t it a bit too fast?" Given Mu Qiuniang’s abilities, Jiang Nuo started worrying. What if it arouses suspicion?

"She was treated in the hospital; I only provided some scar-removing medicine. What’s that got to do with me?"

Jiang Nuo: "..." Are you sure it’s just scar-removing medicine?

Since Xu Ruoxuan wasn’t originally in the entertainment industry, most people didn’t know her at all, so no one immediately recognized who she was. However, she stayed with the crew for a few days and was high-profile every time she appeared, leaving a strong impression on both the crew and those nearby.

Moreover, the video showed the location was the filming set of Jiang Nuo’s new movie, so people immediately linked it to the movie "Fahai Doesn’t Understand Love" and directly asked on its official Weibo if she was the new actress?

[Has to be. If not, why would she be on set? Truly a wretched woman, the moment she snatched @Wei Manman’s role, she went on site to stab @Jiang Nuo’s wife; this woman is incredible!]

[Incredible my ass! If someone like this can enter the entertainment industry, could it still be watchable?]

[The entertainment industry is already a mix of various backgrounds; it’s not surprising. I just want to know, what background does this woman have to push @Wei Manman aside and dare to lay a hand on @Jiang Nuo’s wife? Was it a love spurred into hate scenario, or is she just jealous of someone marrying a good man?]

[Probably rejected by @Jiang Nuo, so in love-turned-hate, she thought, ’If I can’t have him, neither will you,’ and plotted to kill Jiang Nuo’s wife. Wait, did I say it backwards?]

[Indeed, rejected by @Jiang Nuo, love turned to hate, but she’s not mad at Jiang Nuo; she’s mad at the woman who took him, so in a fit of rage she wanted to harm @Qiu Niang. Alas...my poor goddess, getting framed while lying down!]

[Wretched woman, Xu Ruoxuan, get out of the entertainment industry!]

[Is this woman’s name Xu Ruoxuan?]

[Dude, are you really that slow? Didn’t you see she’s the new Bai Suzhen? She squeezed out Wei Manman; her name is Xu Ruoxuan.]

[Finally outed, congrats. Does she have an official Weibo? I want to go and scold her. How dare she covet a married man and, failing as a mistress, turn her ire into hurting the man’s wife? Such a person deserves jail, deserves Hell...]

[I checked; Xu Ruoxuan, this wretched woman, doesn’t have a Weibo. Damn it, I’m fuming, can’t find a place to vent.]

[Don’t worry, here’s a thread, you can come over. Link here #@￥%@]

[Has anyone called the police? Have they come to investigate what’s really going on?]

[@Qiu Niang has been injured, she should get sentenced for ten years or so. Anyone knowledgeable in law, speak up and analyze how many years she could get?]

[I’m a law student, but the video only shows part of the truth, hard to make a full judgment yet...]

...

As the discussion continued, a sticky fan suddenly cried out: [Quick, check @Qiu Niang’s Weibo; she posted something new.]

A frenzy of sticky fans rushed over, only to find Mu Qiuniang’s Weibo freshly updated with a nine-grid photo post. The center was an exquisitely arranged fruit platter, and the eight surrounding photos from various angles highlighted its beauty and detail—it was simply a piece of art!

Caption: [The morning sun is just right, how about a plate of "Dream Crystal Ball"?]

Jiang Nuo immediately reposted: [@Qiu Niang Dear, can I dig in now?]

Fan comments: [Wow! @Qiu Niang’s craftsmanship is amazing, this floral carving is stunning, a ball within a ball, how did she do it?!]

[@Jiang Nuo, hands off! Wait for me! This was meant for me by the goddess!]

[Clearly, @Qiu Niang meant this for me, none of you take it from me. It’s so beautiful; I want to put it in my living room as a decoration to admire for a hundred years.]

[By then, the real piece will have decayed long ago; better stick to the photos. @Qiu Niang’s skills are out of this world; I’m already in awe.]

[Confirmed, this is an Immortal Artifact.]

[Move along, it’s a Divine Artifact!]

[Assessment complete, @Qiu Niang is safe and sound, still has the heart to craft art, life’s not too bad.]

[As long as the goddess is safe, I’m relieved.]

[As long as the goddess is safe, I’m relieved!]

[As long as the goddess is safe, I’m relieved!]
