Chapter 293 - Movie Set Injury (1/2)

As it turned out, An Ru had posted a picture of her own crying face on Weibo.

As the caption, she had written, “Mei Jing, please stop coming between me and Qingsi. I will agree to any demands you have if you can do that!” The post had already been flooded with supportive and comforting comments from An Ru’s die-hard fans.

Ah Sha nearly dropped the piece of bread she was holding between her lips. “Seriously, this woman…”

The screen of her phone started flashing as it rang. She picked up the call.

“You’re awake?” Wan Qingsi said, his voice deep and tender.

Ah Sha stretched. “Yup. I even checked Weibo.”

Silence filled the other end of the line for several seconds. “Already working on it, don’t worry,” Wan Qingsi said. “I’m coming home right away.”

After the call ended, Ah Sha powered up her laptop and logged on to her Weibo account. Words of hatred filled her screen.

“Shameless homewrecker!”

“Women like you are the most shameless of all. Go to hell!”

“Your mom sure did a poor job in raising you. You disgust me…”

Ah Sha could ignore everything else, but those disrespectful comments about her parents pissed her off. Her eyes became colder as she read on. Then, all of a sudden, she received another notification; someone else had mentioned her in another post. She clicked on the notification and was instantly brought to Wan Qingsi’s Weibo page.

“Mei Jing, whatever your demands are, I can top whatever it is that An Ru gives you. You’re mine.”

Ah Sha smiled and watched the number of Wan Qingsi’s Weibo fans increase linearly. All of a sudden, Weibo users who were supportive of her began to appear in spades. This new legion of Weibo users began to make heated posts on An Ru’s Weibo, scolding her for being shameless. Ah Sha knew that this was Zhou Na’s counterattack.

By the time Wan Qingsi came home, the Weibo war was still in progress, but Ah Sha was trying to make a phone call.

“Who are you calling?”

Ah Sha tossed the phone aside and dove into his arms. “Bai Qi,” she said.

“What business do you have with him?” Wan Qingsi frowned. “When we’ve finally gotten rid of the guy, and now you’re calling him?”

“The call didn’t get through,” Ah Sha said. “He probably changed his number.”

Wan Qingsi noticed that her laptop was still on with his Weibo page displayed on the screen. He pressed his lips together, forming a tight line.

Ah Sha noticed the shift in his body language. She sat up and looked at him. “What’s wrong?” She asked.

“Ah Sha…” Wan Qingsi buried his face into her chest. “I’m regretting everything now. I regret bringing you into showbiz. I thought I could protect you. But in the end, I failed you and you got hurt.”

Wan Qingsi had already seen those comments on Weibo, and he knew those comments would anger Ah Sha. In his mind, everything was his fault.

“Tsk, tsk. This isn’t like the Brother Xunxun I know,” Ah Sha said, pinching Wan Qingsi’s cheek. “The Brother Xunxun I know isn’t going be fazed by anything!”

Wan Qingsi shifted their positions so that he was on top of Ah Sha. “Ah Sha, let’s quit the showbiz, okay?” Wan Qingsi kissed her once. “I’m really worried about you. And I’m also worried that Aunt Qing might worry.”

Ah Sha stared into the man’s dark eyes and kissed him too. “Brother Xunxun, I’m fine! Honest! I already expected this when I decided to join this line of work. This little scandal is nothing. I mean, I fare so much better compared to the victims of slander and unspoken rules!”

“I’m going to kill anyone who does those things to you.” Wan Qingsi was radiating a cold aura. He flipped their positions and allowed Ah Sha to lie on top of him. “I can’t stand to see you suffer like this. Why don’t… Why don’t I just order Wan Yi to kill An Ru and be done with it.”

Ah Sha wiggled her body against him. “All hell would break loose if you kill her,” Ah Sha said. “If you kill her and the Lin family finds out, both the Ying and the Wan families would be dragged into this mess.”

“So what? It’s not like we’re afraid of them.”

“Then my dream would be ruined,” Ah Sha said. “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in showbiz, too. But I have to at least star in a few good movies and act to my heart’s content. After that I’ll stay at home and be your housewife!”

Wan Qingsi didn’t comment. He dropped several kisses on her hair and slowly stroked her spine.

Ah Sha knew Wan Qingsi wouldn’t cut off her wing and then lock her up in a cage. In fact, he started Stars Entertainment precisely because he wanted to provide her with the opportunity to spread her wings and fly freely.

Suddenly, a surge of heat rose to her chest. “Your hand…” Ah Sha said. Then, she rolled her eyes at him.

Wan Qingsi stood up and picked her up. “Come on! Time for a bath!”

On Weibo, the war of words lasted for three long days before things finally cooled down. By then, Ah Sha had already gone back to the movie set to resume filming. Ah Sha hadn’t made a single comment ever since An Ru’s Weibo post. Right now, Ah Sha was waiting to see what An Ru’s next move was going to be.

Now, Ah Sha finally saw An Ru for who she truly was: a lunatic whose actions couldn’t be predicted based on reason and common sense. Her devotion to Wan Qingsi had turned into a kind of obsession. She was dead set on the idea that Wan Qingsi was her man and hers alone. Nothing anyone did could change her mind.

“Ken, some of our celebrities have put in requests to terminate their contracts with us. A few want to leave after their contracts end.”

Wan Qingsi stood up and walked around his desk. “Let me guess. They’re joining Sky Entertainment?”

“Yes. The few who are reaching the end of their contracts have already signed new contracts with Sky Entertainment in private.”

“Deng Ran called me this morning,” Wan Qingsi said. He sat down on the couch and loosened his tie. “He’s taking a vacation overseas.”

“He’s leaving too?!” Qi Xiu shouted. “What an ingrate! Who was the one who saved him from the mob back then? It’s all because of you that he got to where he is today.”

“I’m the one who sent him overseas,” Wan Qingsi said. “An Ru’s people are threatening him.”

“No wonder they all had strange looks on their faces when they told me about terminating their contracts with us,” Qi Xiu said with a frown. “It turns out that they had been receiving threats. What should we do, then?”

Wan Qingsi didn’t care much about the other celebrities; however, he knew that Stars Entertainment must become the leading company in the industry if he wanted to give Ah Sha the protection she needed. Turning Stars Entertainment into the best in the field had been his original intention, and that would never change.

“Tell them that they’re allowed to take a vacation outside the country if they wish,” Wan Qingsi said. “The company will cover the costs of their travels.”

Qi Xiu nodded. “I was thinking the same. But what are we going to tell the public?”
