My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 386: The Emergence of Ran Studio’s Reserve Force Army

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: The Emergence of Ran Studio’s Reserve Force Army

The Xia Family patriarch seemed not to have recovered from shock yet, muttering to himself, "No, Xiaxia suffers a loss here, that man should take responsibility."

Just as Xia Chui was about to speak and explain the situation to the patriarch: "..."

No, this isn’t how the script is supposed to go.

Xia Yu also became anxious and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, it’s certain that Xiaxia has been wronged, but as for taking responsibility, I think that remains to be discussed."

The Xia Family patriarch waited for his grandson to speak, "What do you mean, discuss? Are you saying our Xiaxia isn’t good enough for a little celebrity?"

"Grandfather, that’s not what I mean. What I’m saying is, this little celebrity might not be good enough for your Xiaxia."

The Xia Family patriarch stroked his beard, "Now that you mention it, that’s true. Then, when you get a chance, why not have the little celebrity come over for dinner?"

Xia Chui, not understanding his grandfather’s line of thinking, quickly asked, "Why invite him over for dinner? Xiaxia is the one who has been wronged; should we still entertain him?"

The Xia Family patriarch scolded, "You think we shouldn’t entertain just because you say so? Has Xiaxia agreed?

Was it you or Xiaxia who slept with someone? Does it need your approval?

Since it requires your consent, why didn’t you stop it when Xiaxia slept with someone in the first place?"

Xia Chui: "..."

Xia Yu suppressed a laugh; this was indeed a difficult blame to shoulder.

They felt wronged as well.

Xiaxia’s actions were unprincipled, and at the very least, she should have come back to inform them. Besides, the time she said she would return to the country didn’t match up with when she actually did.

The two brothers realized this issue, and as if the Xia Family patriarch couldn’t discern it, he sighed, saying.

"Actually, I may have been too harsh on you. Xiaxia, that child, she’s not close to us."

Xia Chui consoled the patriarch, "Grandfather, don’t be sad, Xiaxia is still young."

The Xia Family patriarch chuckled, "The matter with your little uncle was my fault at the beginning. Now, whatever Xiaxia likes, as long as she likes it,

Grandfather won’t interfere. As long as she’s willing to come home, it’s good even just to come home for a visit."

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and then reassured the patriarch, "Grandfather, Xiaxia has grown up. The fact that she was willing to come back shows she isn’t heartless;

for Xiaxia, this place is still her home, and you are still her grandfather."

"But I always feel that Xiaxia is somewhat disappointed in the Xia Family."

The two brothers no longer spoke. Although the Xia Family was one of the four major families, it had the fewest descendants. Xia Ruyan wasn’t acknowledged by the Xia Family, and all things considered, there were only three siblings in the Xia Family.

The press conference concluded following Xia Ji’s statement, which provided evidence that could slap someone in the face.

Lu Xiao’s troubles were resolved, and Fu Bairan, along with Yinran Entertainment, were lambasted on the trending searches, with eight out of ten relating to them.

Fu Bairan was taken into police custody.

After the press conference, Yuran hurried to the police station with Lu Xiao and Xia Ji.

After going through the necessary procedures, they met with Fu Bairan, who was in custody.

Seeing the unharmed trio, Fu Bairan greeted them with an indifferent cold smile, "I didn’t expect the first people to come see me would be you."

Yuran spread her hands, "Unfortunately, your enemies are the most concerned about whether you’re dead or alive."

Fu Bairan suddenly clammed up, not saying a word.

Yuran went straight to the point, without beating around the bush, "Since my company was established, we’ve hardly made any enemies, and Yinran Entertainment has had little to do with us. Why did you do these things?"

Fu Bairan didn’t speak.

Lu Xiao’s eyes were cold, "Why did you frame me? This isn’t something that should render you speechless."

Fu Bairan lifted her gaze to look at him, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Of course, it’s because of dragging down Ran Studio. Aren’t you the person they’re currently pushing?

If something happened to you, how well could the studio possibly do?"

"Did Ran Studio become your enemy? When did this happen?" Xia Ji didn’t care about these details; she had plenty of her own troubling questions.

Although she didn’t believe herself to be the type of girl who demanded a man take responsibility after losing her innocence, after all, Lu Xiao was the first man she’d set her sights on.

And based on the current trend, Lu Xiao appeared willing to take responsibility, while she was planning to join Ran Studio.

Therefore, the honor or disgrace of Ran Studio was naturally connected to her. So, she indeed needed to get to the bottom of this.

She hadn’t even started to settle the score with Xia Ruyan yet.

Fu Bairan fell silent again, maintaining her usual reticence.

Xia Ji didn’t pursue the matter further but instead played with her fingers, smiling, "Speaking of which, I’ve uncovered some information. What kind of benefit did Xia Ruyan’s assistant promise you?"

Fu Bairan’s eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure, remaining silent.

Xia Ji clicked her tongue, "I forgot to tell you, no matter what Xia Ruyan promised you, as long as I shake my head and veto it, you will still end up with nothing."

Fu Bairan forced herself to calm down, "If you have anything to discuss, speak to my lawyer."

Xia Ji, "Let me just add one more thing, is your lawyer the same one found for you by Xia Ruyan? If so, then you might as well not get your hopes up; with me here, you won’t get your wish."

Fu Bairan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Unable to obtain any information from negotiating with Fu Bairan, Xia Ji left the police station. She informed Yuran that she needed to go back home. Lu Xiao, somewhat anxious, reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"I’ll go back with you."

Xia Ji shook off Lu Xiao’s hand, "Do you think it’s not chaotic enough already? Why would you follow me home?"

Her tone was soft, with no sign of anger, merely suggesting that Lu Xiao return to the studio.

The press conference had ended, and the heat around Ran Studio was subsiding, but there were still people with vested interests watching. She needed to go home to report the issues.

It wasn’t the time to solve their personal problems.

Lu Xiao stood still, and Xia Ji’s eyes widened, "What are you trying to say?"

Yuran cut in, "Xia Ji, just let Lu Xiao go back with you. The press conference was such a spectacle; your family will surely know about Lu Xiao by now. If he doesn’t accompany you home at this moment,

media might say that our family’s artist has only a professional relationship with you."

Xia Ji wanted to say, isn’t it just a professional relationship? But thinking of the hassle to come, she hung her head in defeat and meekly nodded, "Fine, fine, let’s go. You come home with me. Yuran, I’ll be reporting to the studio tomorrow then."

"Okay."

Watching the two of them leave, Yuran squinted her eyes with a smile and shook her head, "Happy enemies, that must be what they mean by that."

She checked the time and was about to head for her car when a very familiar vehicle screeched to a halt in front of her, the brakes emitting an ear-piercing noise.

The car window rolled down, revealing Xie Cheng’s face carrying a trace of a smile. He pointed at the back seat, "Get in, someone’s worried about you."

"Big brother Qi?"

Yuran’s heart leapt with joy, and she happily opened the rear door and climbed in, hanging onto Bo Yan like a little puppy, sniffing around his neck, "Big brother Qi, what brings you here?"

Bo Yan pinched her cheek, "Can’t I come?"
