Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Xiao Baocang Gets the Good Guy Card

The family doctor checked Feng Qikuo: "It’s nothing, just a nightmare. You’ll feel better gradually."

Feng Qikuo looked at Mu Dixin helplessly: "See, I told you."

Then she said to the family doctor: "Thank you for coming so late, you should go back and rest."

The family doctor said it was just his duty and then left.

Mu Ran looked at her sister-in-law with worry: "Are you okay?"

"Of course I’m okay. How come you and your brother both think I’m not feeling well?" Feng Qikuo pinched her face: "Did you stay up late again? You have to catch a flight tomorrow, go back and sleep early."

Mu Ran pulled her hand down, seeing she was in good spirits, said no more and went back to her room to sleep.

Mu Dixin frowned: "What kind of nightmare scared you like this?"

"Dreams are strange and bizarre, how can I control them? Don’t you agree?" Feng Qikuo kissed his cheek: "Okay, let’s sleep."

Mu Dixin let her lie down and gently patted her, hoping she wouldn’t have another nightmare.

Feng Qikuo closed her eyes.

But in her mind, the image of her siblings holding knives still appeared.

She had done so much for them, all to receive no more than what was expected. Now they’ve cut ties, what right do they have to criticize her?

With Mu Dixin’s patient soothing, Feng Qikuo gradually fell asleep.

The next day.

Mu Ran was also set to head to the film crew and once there, she switched into work mode.

Today’s shoot was a scene where the female ghost leads the man inside.

There’s folklore that says pointing your shoe tip toward the bedhead might have a ghost crawling onto you.

So many locals arrange their shoes before sleep to avoid being visited by female ghosts.

But if one neglects, the ghost comes and guides him down a path.

A bloody road, step by step, with small red embroidered shoes, exquisite and beautiful, leading to a bridal sedan chair.

Watching Mu Ran’s shoot, the assistant director was really worried: "Is this considered promoting feudal superstitions?"

"...Probably."

Mu Ran pursed her lips, "I’ll shoot another version."

The folklore guide matched with effects and music plus lighting would make it more ghostly, but Mu Ran’s second version seemed more like a revenge story.

Still, Mu Ran was unwilling to give up the folklore version.

What makes ghost movies most immersive? It’s that sense of real-life occurrence around you.

In reality, people mistreat a weak girl, leading her to become a fierce ghost controlling the world.

No matter how powerful she isn’t, becoming a ghost could potentially harm those who abused her, trapping them in a web of their self-made fears.

That’s the effect Mu Ran aimed for, but due to policy restrictions, she had to let Feng Qikuo shoot a non-scary version.

The filming continued.

Xiao Jin finally found an opportunity to recommend the chosen aunt to his uncle.

Xiao Yu’an initially wasn’t interested in the girl Xiao Jin introduced, but she really knew the forces in his area, cooperating with her could save a lot of trouble.

Their interests matched, though Xiao Yu’an was always cautious about male-female distances, worrying also about Mu Ran’s opinion.

So, he told Mu Ran about befriending the girl.

Mu Ran didn’t mind him having female friends.

She personally thought if someone intended to cheat, they wouldn’t care about male or female friendships; they’d manage their time well, becoming a master of timing handling multiple partners.

Moreover...

In today’s society, heterosexual friendships aren’t necessarily impure, nor are same-sex friendships pure.

But Mu Ran still remarked, "As long as you can differentiate between what’s done by lovers and what’s done by friends, it’s fine."

Xiao Yu’an agreed.

Xiao Jin, acting like their relationship supervisor, occasionally asked about the new aunt’s relationship progress.

Noticing this side was rather stable.

He began preparations to find a boyfriend for his aunt. Previously, he endorsed a domestic sports brand and met the son of the brand’s boss.

As the heir, he didn’t like his own brand but had a keen interest in film documentaries, so when Xiao Jin mentioned introducing him to Mu Ran, he was delighted and expectant.

Xiao Jin, making things complicated himself, sought Yun Fei’s help, after which he called his aunt: "Auntie, someone helped me out, and knowing you’re my aunt, he wants to see the filming, can you let him?"

"What happened to you?"

"I fell while skateboarding with Xiao Miao, he took me to the hospital, but don’t worry, it’s not serious, just a scrape. Then he introduced us to a world-class skateboarding master who teaches us." Chu Xijin said.

"Glad you’re okay. Be careful later. About him wanting to watch filming, just let him, send his personal info to my assistant’s WeChat, she’ll handle it."

"Alright!"

With his social skills like an expert, Chu Xijin naturally had his aunt’s assistant’s WeChat, quickly sending Yun Fei over.

After handling their affairs, Chu Xijin approached Xiao Baocang dramatically: "The skateboarder Yun Fei introduced is super expensive, he didn’t pay, and I told my aunt he’s being great to me, enrolling me, but I’m just a five-year-old without money, what should I do?"

"How much do you need? I’ll give you." Xiao Baocang said boldly.

"Thirty million."

"Thirty million!!! Is your skateboard flying?" Xiao Baocang roared.

Chu Xijin calmly explained: "No, he’s a foreigner setting up a skateboarding venue here, this is Yun Fei’s agreed condition."

"Damn!!!" Xiao Baocang paced in circles with hands on his waist; without inheriting family assets, thirty million was large for him. But sabotaging Xiao Yu’an’s relationship would solve a massive problem, he gritted his teeth, "I’ll transfer it to you later."

"Thank you, you really are a good person."

Being awarded the good person card made Xiao Baocang unhappy, and his heart ached.

People said kids were money-devouring beasts, and since interacting with Chu Xijin for months, Xiao Baocang found it true!

He’d almost invested eighty million in Chu Xijin!

He’d thought about giving up, but the sunk cost was too high, reluctant to abandon the Chu Xijin line.

After maneuvering funds and transferring the money to Chu Xijin, he wanted to lie in bed and cry, all he wanted was to ruin Xiao Yu’an and Mu Ran’s relationship but why was it so hard!

Receiving the money, Chu Xijin’s lips curved, distributing twenty million to urgent needs, transferring the rest to village officials contributing to national construction.

Another ten million invested in setting up the venue.

Actually, in Hai City, building a good venue with ten million wasn’t enough, but Chu Xijin had modest demands, just to meet the needs, as the skateboarding venue’s primary aim was profit.

Let skateboard enthusiasts compete or have training institutions teaching those passionate about skateboarding.
