Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 88: Ju Yuezhi

"Ju Yuezhi." Ju Yuezhi introduced herself.

"OK, do you need anything from me? Our crew really doesn’t need more investors right now." Mu Ran rubbed her temples, feeling a bit disoriented from the day-and-night confusion lately, exhausted to death. If Jiao Yuyao hadn’t been completely incapable of handling a young lady like Ju Yuezhi from an influential family, she wouldn’t have bothered to come at all.

Luckily, she had arranged the meeting in a coffee shop.

It’s somewhat life-sustaining.

"No, it’s about something else."

"What is it?"

"Are you dating Xiao Yu’an, the eldest son of the Xiao Family?" Ju Yuezhi asked. She had hired a detective who painstakingly dug this information out from the hospital where Mu Ran was admitted after her injury.

Mu Ran closed her eyes: Don’t get angry, anger is bad for health and no one will take your place.

Damn it.

She couldn’t help but lose her temper.

"Are you nuts? I’m busy to death right now, and you’re here talking to me about men. If you like him, go chase him! I haven’t restricted his personal freedom, why are you talking to me, are you crazy?!"

"You!"

"What? Can you at least find out what others are doing before you approach them? Don’t you respect other people’s careers? What do you use that brain of yours for? How would you feel if I came to talk to you about a man during the busiest time of your work?!"

Mu Ran was about to explode.

She never thought Xiao Yu’an would lack admirers, but she couldn’t be bothered to deal with Xiao Yu’an’s pursuers.

If you like Xiao Yu’an,

why not deal with Xiao Yu’an?

What’s the point of dealing with me!!!

"I don’t like him either; I just wanted to discuss a collaboration with you." Ju Yuezhi already knew she would lose it, so she was mentally prepared now.

"Collaboration, my ass!"

Mu Ran, boiling with anger, stood up immediately, glaring at Ju Yuezhi as she warned, "You came to me, clearly having found out about us through improper means. I’m too busy to deal with you right now, but if you come again, I guarantee your reputation in the circle will hit rock bottom!"

Mu Ran cursed, calling her stupid.

A young lady seeking her out over a man for some so-called "collaboration," how degrading!

Mu Ran rubbed her forehead and left. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to order a pile of coffee and cake at the coffee shop, making Ju Yuezhi pay the bill.

Ju Yuezhi sat there fuming for a long time.

In today’s progressive world, she didn’t even resort to petty tricks against Mu Ran privately but came to discuss it openly, only to be cursed at right off the bat!

When it was time to settle the bill, Ju Yuezhi was stunned:

"What did you say, thirty-five thousand!!!"

For heaven’s sake.

In this little rundown town.

Coffee being sold for sixty is already ridiculous.

Now they want to scam me during checkout!

"Yes, your friend ordered over a hundred cups of coffee and nine hundred cakes before leaving. We’re working overtime to prepare them." The server explained, even showing her the surveillance video just in case she denied it.

Ju Yuezhi saw Mu Ran’s face on the screen.

She was furious!

Who orders sixty-dollar coffees, over a hundred cups, and thirty-buck cakes, over nine hundred of them!!

Ju Yuezhi reluctantly paid the bill and found it hard to calm down even after getting in the car!

The three thousand dollars, though not a lot, felt terribly unfair to be swindled!

Moreover, this wasn’t even the plot she had in mind. Mu Ran wasn’t lacking men, and her attitude didn’t seem like she regarded Xiao Yu’an as the only one.

Why can’t she use him first?

Mu Ran is the eldest daughter of the Mu Family, with her brother providing cover, and she has carved out her own career, with no one daring to provoke her anywhere.

Their situations aren’t alike at all!

Dammit!

Is Xiao Yu’an out of his mind for liking Mu Ran, the lunatic?

Aargh!

Ju Yuezhi screamed in her car.

The sanitation worker outside flinched in shock, and Ju Yuezhi quickly drove away, getting angrier and more aggrieved thinking about it.

She is bound to become a tool for a political marriage.

So she can only look for someone she likes within the elite circle, being a noble wife while also obtaining more money, more power.

The Xiao Family is the family she most desires!

With invisible power, wealth, status, their family is simple, and Xiao Yu’an only has one illegitimate brother!!

Ju Yuezhi really doesn’t want to miss out.

Why does Xiao Yu’an have to like Mu Ran, aargh!!!

Thinking about it made Ju Yuezhi want to cry, "Waah, waah, waah, why is Xiao Yu’an so blind!"

She doesn’t even dare to play dirty against Mu Ran.

After all, Mu Ran is just crazy. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But not brainless.

If Mu Ran finds out, ripping her a new one would be what she’d do, surely, Mu Dixin and Feng Qikuo would protect their sister.

Her own family isn’t a certainty.

Moreover, even if Mu Ran didn’t have anyone to protect her, with her erratic temperament, she’d still pull off many crazy moves.

The above-board method she just tried didn’t work at all, and she even got sworn at!!!

Ju Yuezhi sobbed uncontrollably on a little-trafficked road. If only she were an only child, there wouldn’t be so much drama!

Wait—

Something’s wrong.

Why am I trying to entice Xiao Yu’an anyway?

Getting someone to attract Mu Ran is the right solution!!!

Ju Yuezhi clapped her hands together, thinking she was such a genius, and immediately set out to hire a detective to investigate among Mu Ran’s admirers, who was closest to her and most likely to be with her.

When Mu Ran finds a new love.

She’s sure to dump Xiao Yu’an.

Then I’ll take advantage of the situation when the time comes, not offending Mu Ran, and securing Xiao Yu’an.

Wow.

I’m really smart!

Ju Yuezhi gave herself a million likes.

She drove off joyfully from the small city she’d never heard of.

——On set.

After parting ways with Ju Yuezhi, Mu Ran instantly forgot about the matter and went back to the hotel to sleep.

Shooting scenes with an ancient backdrop is really troublesome ah.

She keeps insisting on authenticity.

Prompting the props team to madly expand.

Mentally exhausted.

Mu Ran was sound asleep, while the crew received a sixty-dollar coffee and three cakes the director left, all a bit puzzled.

While accepting them, they each muttered a "Thank you, Director Mu," to the air.

No kidding, the sixty-dollar coffee.

The taste was unremarkable...

Merely drank like water.

Luckily, the cakes were delicious; three cakes served as a meal.

When Mu Ran awoke, she only then remembered talking with Ju Yuezhi, initially wanting to inform Xiao Yu’an, but had to rush to the set when a big shot joined the props team.

Too busy to even think about a love life.

Even forgot about removing the stitches!!!

The doctor, seeing Mu Ran, gave her a stern look, "Didn’t the doctor who stitched you up tell you how long before you should come to remove the stitches? How many days has it been already!"

Mu Ran didn’t dare say a word.

Had it not been for a video call with Xiao Yu’an today, asking, "Why haven’t you removed the stitches yet?"

She’d nearly gotten used to the wound on her forehead.

The doctor nagged her for a long time, "If you’re any later, the stitches will get embedded in your skin, the scar will pit, what are you going to do then!"

Mu Ran didn’t dare say a word.

Recently, she’s been really driven to madness by work.

Every day, just moving between the set and the hotel, in an inexhaustible loop.
