Beside a street in Jiang City, a van has been parked there for a long time. The middle-aged man wearing sunglasses inside the car exhaled a smoke ring and extinguished the cigarette butt; he then said to the young accomplice beside him with acne scars all over his face, "After finishing the arrangements from Shi Yunyin, make another call to the boss." The so-called boss is way more formidable than Shi Yunyin. He’s Shi Yunyin’s fiancé, Yi City, the president of Four Seas Entertainment, what a coincidence! Shi Yunyin hired people to secretly photograph Shi Su, while Yi City found them and obstructed their filming. Even during the initial period of photographing Shi Su, the photos they captured of Shi Su returning home by car and her daily shopping at the nearby supermarket were all bought and destroyed by Yi City, cautioning them to feign cooperation before Shi Yunyin, not truly affecting Shi Su’s serene private life. This made it difficult for the two; they wanted to earn the money of the film queen sister and even more, Mr. Yi’s money. Whoever pays is their master, so they couldn’t disregard either patron. Thus, this back-and-forth led to two transactions, catering well enough to both sides. The paparazzi no longer pursued so relentlessly, merely showing up occasionally near Shi Su, while they also had to capture some bland content to satisfy the film queen sister. But today they finally captured something, so they had to send a copy to the big boss, whether to destroy or do something else, it was beyond their control. The younger accomplice with acne scars seated in the passenger seat directly called Yi City’s assistant, explained the situation, before connecting the call over to Yi City. "Mr. Yi, hello, we’re here to report the latest situation of Miss Shi Su to you." The man on the other end of the call spoke in a calm tone, though visibly slightly annoyed: "Didn’t I tell you to stop keeping tabs on her?" "Mr. Yi, please don’t be upset; it’s - we reckon you aren’t interested in following Shi Su’s daily personal life, but you would definitely want to know about Shi Su’s boyfriend." The person on the other end paused for a moment: "What do you mean?" The young accomplice with acne scars chuckled: "Miss Shi Su is after all a rising star in the entertainment circle. If rumors of an outsider boyfriend were to emerge, it would indeed impact her future prospects greatly, wouldn’t it?" "Enough with the suspense, speak plainly, I don’t have time for nonsense." The young accomplice quickly said: "Today we captured a Passat sending Shi Su to the film set early in the morning at around six. The two had breakfast together in the car, and judging by the man in the car, he appears to be a corporate professional, a high-level figure. Sadly, the car he drove was rather cheap; whether he is being cautious and low key, or simply not earning enough is unclear. Considering Miss Shi Su’s beauty, her boyfriend should be driving a luxury car costing millions, shouldn’t he? Haha." "Anyway, Mr. Yi, we haven’t been photographing Miss Shi Su as frequently lately. This morning it’s purely coincidental that her outsider boyfriend sent her to the set, and that’s when we took a few shots. If you need the photos, we’ll send them to you right away—" Before finishing, the person on the other end abruptly hung up the call. "... He hung up the phone." "Bro, should we still send the photos to Mr. Yi?" "Send them; it’s imperative to provide service to whoever pays. Mr. Yi clearly has a thing for Shi Su, and the matter of an outsider boyfriend probably pissed him off. If you discover your wife is cheating, would you angrily refuse to understand the other man’s situation, or investigate the man thoroughly? Mr. Yi is just reserved, doesn’t waste words; sending the photos to him won’t go wrong." "Alright, then I’ll send them." "Congrats to Shi Su on wrapping up ’Yao Platform Trace!’ Yeah!" Chapters fırst released on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽 "Congrats on the wrap!" "After more than three months of hard work, finally able to take a proper break! Wishing Shi Su bright prospects ahead!" On the set of ’Yao Platform Trace,’ just past noon, director Chen Yang, and Mr. Cai among others had already taken some photos with Shi Su. Several staff members, who had good relations with Shi Su, were uttering blessings wholeheartedly. After everyone had some of Shi Su’s wrap-up cake, the other actors who hadn’t wrapped still had scenes to shoot that afternoon, so Shi Su didn’t linger on set. In the afternoon, she was scheduled to meet Jun and Chu Jiu for a meal at the studio; since recently Shi Su had more work invitations than before, the studio was busy, and no time was allotted for a wrap party. After the meal, it was already past four in the afternoon, and Shi Su drove directly near Shi Mianmian’s current kindergarten. Today she returned early, and even though work remains busy after the wrap, it wouldn’t be as unpredictably hectic as in the crew’s day and night schedules; she finally gets some stable time to stay with Shi Mianmian. She planned to bring Mianmian back to the old house first, pack some things, and move to this new place. When dining with Jun this afternoon, Jun suggested Shi Su should live in a place with better security measures and stop returning to that old house, as that place indeed was prone to trouble. Though Kaixing Mansion was good, Shi Su temporarily living there wasn’t a long-term solution. She wanted to move everything there and find another suitable place while temporarily residing; once decided, moving together would avoid the hassle of alternating between houses. "Mommy, are we going back to the old home?" Shi Mianmian sat in the child seat in the back, shaking her small feet as she asked, tilting her head to look at the driving Shi Su. Shi Su answered briefly, then her phone suddenly rang as she stopped the car at a traffic light junction, answering the call while waiting at the red light. "Hello, is this Miss Shi Su?" "There’s a package for you; are you at home?" Shi Su was about to respond when her tone suddenly paused: "I’m not at home. What kind of package is it?" "It’s a box, not very big, and not heavy." "Leave it at the door, please. I’ll bring it in once I’m back home." After hanging up the call, Shi Su continued driving, though she felt slightly strange. For safety reasons, even when ordering things online, the recipient’s name on the package is never her real name, mostly temporary names. If someone from the set or work had sent her a package, they should’ve informed her beforehand. So silently receiving a package under her own name and phone number, shipped to her old home, seemed peculiar. Stopping the car in the neighborhood, Shi Su first scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was trailing them, before letting Shi Mianmian out of the car, clasping Mianmian’s little hand as they entered the still-old and dimly lit staircase, reaching the fifth-floor apartment. "Mommy, what’s that over there?" Mianmian spotted the large box on the ground right at the doorstep. Entering the house, Shi Su pushed Mianmian inside: "You go in first, I’ll check it out." Mianmian curiously glanced back at her, but promptly realized they were back at the old home, eagerly running to the carpet and nostalgically rolling around.
