Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 67 – Bump into his arms
Xiang-Nuan was momentarily stunned. "Someone from Newstar?"
"I heard it was President Shen's idea."
Xiang-Nuan pressed her lips together and fell silent.
"Let's head to the set first."
Xiang-Nuan went downstairs, walked out of the hotel, and saw Zheng Xuanlin standing in front of the business car.
She opened her arms. "Come, give me a hug."
Xiang-Nuan chuckled softly and stepped forward to embrace her.

For the next few days, Xiang-Nuan was busy filming on set, trying to catch up on progress. Zheng Xuanlin went out to secure a luxury endorsement for her, leaving Amy and the others to accompany her.
The endorsement that was previously canceled still bothered Zheng Xuanlin like a thorn in her side. Now that the original team had left Newstar, it was her chance to shine and she vowed to secure an even higher-end luxury endorsement for Xiang-Nuan.
As soon as Xiang-Nuan stepped onto the set, she regained her energy and threw herself into filming.
On her birthday, Lee-Zheng suddenly approached her. "It's your birthday today. How about taking the afternoon off?"
"No need, the filming schedule is tight. I don't want to waste everyone's time."
Lee-Zheng smiled and patted her shoulder. "We've been making good progress these past few days. This afternoon, we're mainly filming the male lead's court battle scenes. You should take a break. Enjoy your half-day off for your birthday, but you'll have to stay with the crew during the New Year."
Hearing this, Xiang-Nuan didn't refuse and smiled. "Thank you, Director."
Perfect, she thought, I can go see Mom.
In the afternoon, Xiang-Nuan left the set and headed to the Peking City nursing home.
She bought a small cake to bring along. Xiang Hui had been in good spirits lately. Although she didn't know it was Xiang-Nuan's birthday, they chatted for a long time.
Xiang-Nuan didn't mention it was her birthday either. She didn't want Xiang Hui to feel guilty for not remembering. Just being able to spend time with her mother made her happy enough; she didn't care about the rest.
By the time Xiang-Nuan left the nursing home, it was already evening.
She didn't ask Amy to wait for her and gave her the half-day off as well. Amy had been working tirelessly alongside her recently.
Xiang-Nuan adjusted the baseball cap on her head and prepared to hail a cab to find Tao Junle.

But as soon as she reached the roadside, a familiar figure rushed out.
"Xiang-Nuan, you heartless girl! You don't care about your father's well-being, letting your mom stay in such a high-end nursing home while you don't let your dad enjoy any of it?"
Zhao Chenggang approached with a sinister smile.
Xiang-Nuan's pupils contracted. "What are you doing here?!"
"What am I doing here? I'm your father, how could I not know where you are? Isn't today our Nuan-Nuan's birthday? I knew you'd visit your mom on your birthday. Finally, I found you."
"You ungrateful girl, I've been looking for her for over a month and couldn't find her. I've been to every hospital in Peking City. I wondered what was going on, turns out you had it all planned, getting the hospital staff to help you deceive me!"
Xiang-Nuan's face darkened. "You've been gone for so many years, and now you remember to look for my mom? She doesn't want to see you, and neither do I."
"Whether she wants to or not, she'll have to see me to find out. You don't really think changing your surname means you have nothing to do with me, do you? You're my biological daughter, you should be supporting me! Besides, your mom and I are still married. Since she's sick, it's only right that I take care of her."
"In your dreams!" Xiang-Nuan glared at him. "You caused her severe head trauma back then. Her condition has been unstable for years, requiring multiple surgeries just to stabilize. You think you can see her again?"
Zhao Chenggang was Xiang Hui's nightmare. If he appeared in front of her now, she would surely go mad.
"So you don't care if I live or die? You even had bodyguards drive me away. Since I can't find my own daughter, of course, I'll look for my wife."
Zhao Chenggang threatened as he tried to force his way into the nursing home.
Xiang-Nuan immediately grabbed him. "Are you trying to drive her to death? Zhao Chenggang, are you even human?!"
"Screw you! You ungrateful wretch, I raised you for nothing. You make so much money but don't support your own father. If I can't live well, neither will you two!"
Zhao Chenggang raised his hand to hit her.
The moment he lifted his hand, Xiang-Nuan instinctively shrank back, only to unexpectedly bump into someone's arms.
She looked up in a daze—it was Shen Yanshi.
He protected Xiang-Nuan with one hand and grabbed Zhao Chenggang's raised hand with the other, his expression cold and stern.
Zhao Chenggang was momentarily intimidated by his aura but still tried to bluster. "Who the hell are you? Why are you meddling in my business with my daughter?!"
Shen Yanshi said coldly, "She's your daughter, not your servant."
Zhao Chenggang noticed his expensive suit and suddenly his eyes lit up, his attitude becoming much more obsequious.
"I heard she's hooked up with a wealthy man. Is that you? Ah, yes, it's President Shen, right?"
Xiang-Nuan's face turned extremely ugly, just as she was about to speak, Shen Yanshi held her back.
"Yes, it's me," Shen Yanshi calmly replied.
