My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 374: Truly Accidental Injury

"So, this is yours?" Yuran spread her palm and placed the small daisy earring Lu Xiao had given her in front of the other person.

Xia Ji evidently hadn’t expected her earring to turn up here.

That evening, when she returned to the hotel and discovered her earring was missing, she didn’t think too much of it, assuming she had lost it on the way home.

She hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to have picked it up.

Her ears reddened a bit as she took the earring from Yuran’s hand, "It’s mine., this is..."

"Given to me by Lu Xiao." Yuran admitted frankly, "Lu Xiao wants to see you."

Xia Ji looked startled and then waved her hand, "No need, I have nothing to say to him."

But Yuran shook her head, "That’s not right. After you left the hotel that day, how could Fu Bairan have gotten the photographs?"

"Impossible."

Xia Ji was very certain, "When I left that day, Lu Xiao was about to come to. As for the photographs, they’re likely doctored. I’ve studied them, and also, those so-called pieces of evidence, you should investigate them.

Whether in the hospital or elsewhere, are there people from their side? In other words, if they’re even slightly influential,

they completely have the capability to pull this off. There’s something I want to tell you about."

Yuran nodded, "Go ahead."

Xia Ji, "I’ve seen plenty of dispatches saying that Huanya has invited you to audition for a new movie. Of course, these dispatches are internal.

People outside can’t see them yet, but it seems they’re just waiting for Huanya to make contact with you, then if Huanya doesn’t respond, those dispatches will be released."

"May I ask, without offense, what do you do?" Yuran was curious; this girl seemed so innocent. How did she know so much?

Xia Ji smiled awkwardly, "Just have some insider information, not working yet. What I want to tell you is about Huanya’s top actress, Xia Ruyan. Do you know the name?"

"I do."

"That’s good!" Xia Ji was relieved she didn’t need to explain too much about Xia Ruyan, her demeanor relaxing a lot, "Xia Ruyan is my older sister."

Yuran looked astonished: "..."

Xia Ji spread her hands, "If possible, I would rather not have such a vicious sister. As the top actress of Huanya, of course, I’ve always felt that title was something she hyped up herself. There are many in Huanya better at acting than she is.

This time, the new film Huanya is planning to shoot, I got some reliable information that it’s Xi Nian’s first project since returning to the country. Naturally, he wants quality and good reputation.

Xi Nian looks like a male vixen; I don’t know if you know him, just search for him and you’ll find out;

My sister, well, she’s not entirely bad or good, but when it comes to power, she definitely doesn’t hold back. She’s liked Xi Nian since she was young;

This time with Xi Nian returning to the country, on one hand, she wants to curry favor with him, and on the other, she wants to grab Huanya’s top resources for herself;

In doing so, her own value will only rise, and she’ll likely hold more sway in Huanya in the future. If she can seduce the male vixen into her arms, then all the better."

"What does that have to do with me?" Yuran was puzzled.

Xia Ji’s smile was sly, "Ever heard of ’bearing a gem brings misfortune’? She’s jealous of you, after all, the rumors inside say that Xi Nian personally selected the role. You’re an innocent victim;

My sister is somewhat conceited, with a bit of family background, she loses sight of the four cardinal directions. In her eyes, you’re just a small fry,

even though you have the backing of the Bo Family. But from past news, the Bo Family doesn’t get hands-on with every single issue concerning you."

Yuran thought to herself that

Especially someone who can’t stand seeing her being bullied.

She arched her eyebrows slightly, looking at the gloating Xia Ji, "You’re telling me all this. Aren’t you worried that your sister will wait to settle scores with you when you get home?"

Xia Ji waved his hand dismissively, "She’s had plenty of ideas about cleaning my clock, but no chance. I’m the most adored in my family, my grandfather likes me the best;

As for Xia Ruyan, if she were a bit kinder, maybe my grandfather would like her a little more."

Yuran: "..."

Such arrogance, really...

"So, what you’re saying is, I originally had no beef with Xia Ruyan, but she’s doing all this just to nip any possibilities in the bud?"

Thinking it over more, Xia Ji felt that was indeed the case, "Of course, my sister has always hoped to marry a super-rich husband. Before, she was fixated on the Bo Family’s young masters;

But does she really think others don’t know her true colors? Would the Bo Family’s young masters ever take a fancy to her?

So now there’s someone here who isn’t very familiar with the capital’s affairs, and naturally, she wants to get close, give herself a chance. What if by chance it works out?

As for what kind of person the male vixen is, I’m not clear, because he left the capital at a very young age, and now that he’s back, no one knows what he’s after.

But if his resolve isn’t strong and my sister succeeds, latches onto him, you guys better watch out.

Rumor has it that in London, the male vixen is quite formidable, not just anyone."

Yuran, "You seem to know quite a lot."

Xia Ji, "Well, quite a bit anyway. Alright, I’ve made my purpose clear, Lu Xiao must not be ruined. Whatever cooperation is needed on this matter, feel free to contact me."

She pulled over some paper and a pen, wrote down her number for Yuran, and pushed it over, "I feel obligated, as if repaying his life-saving grace from those years."

Yuran looked at the number under her eyelids, somewhat unsure how to respond to the girl’s words, "You and Lu Xiao slept together, and you don’t plan to hold Lu Xiao accountable?"

Xia Ji looked shocked, "What are you talking about? Although I am a young lady, I’m not the type to just cling to someone alight. Plus, when I helped him back then, I really didn’t have any ulterior motives, you believe me."

"I believe you." Yuran truly believed her.

Xia Ji had a youthful face, speaking in a whimsical way that had a disarming softness to it.

"But," Yuran changed her tone, and Xia Ji looked at her anxiously. "But what?"

Yuran, "But, Lu Xiao really wants to see you. He wants to know who he’s slept with."

Xia Ji felt indescribably awkward, "I don’t really want to see him."

Yuran shook her head, "It might be too late for that."

"What?"

Yuran pointed towards the door; when she and Xia Ji had come in, she had asked Kang Zhenyu to make a call to Lu Xiao. Kang Zhenyu had personally visited Lu Xiao’s place, and by now, he was likely to have brought Lu Xiao to the studio.

Xia Ji suddenly stood up, ready to make a break for it, while giving Yuran a look of disapproval, "Yuran, you’re really untrustworthy."

Yuran arched her eyebrows. So she’s moved on to using "Yuran" now.

This girl is rather forward.

Yuran put her hands together, placed them on the table, and looking at Xia Ji’s anxiety, she burst into laughter, "This is a matter between you two, best resolved together."
