Free Web NovelChapter 206: Chapter 204: Xiao Baocang Imprisoned
How can the gap between people be so big?
Wuwuwuwu...
When she was young, her brain wasn’t like that. She pulled her hair out over those few subjects and was forced by her brother to attend tutoring classes.
Jealousy twists a person, so Mu Ran said very unethically, "For the sake of giving you a wonderful childhood, try not to skip grades. If you need to take leave... just do it."
"Okay."
Chu Xijin had no objections.
After finishing the hot pot, the three of them wandered around the mall again before heading home.
Chu Xijin could hardly bear to look at his uncle being sycophantic and stood beside his aunt, trying to pretend he didn’t know him.
Before going to bed, Chu Xijin told Xiao Miao that he would go to the Capital with her.
Xiao Miao was very happy and sent him a video, "Did your aunt agree? Will it affect your studies?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"No."
"Alright then."
Mao Xiaomiao didn’t trust other classmates, but she trusted Xiao Jin, the college prodigy.
Chu Xijin booked a high-speed train ticket and went to the Capital with Xiao Miao.
He liked to feel stable on means of transportation, like planes. Although he was quite thrilled about flying, he was also scared.
What if it falls?
After handling all that, Chu Xijin showered, went to bed, and lay down, thinking about what his aunt had said, unable to calm down for a long time.
He was his aunt’s heaven-sent treasure.
What had he done to deserve it?
The child never felt so blessed.
Even though he was doing well in the modern world, he sometimes wanted to go back to ancient times, but at this moment, he wanted to stay in the modern world and create this beautiful world.
Where his aunt was.
That’s the best place!

As Chu Xijin, a child, went to the Capital with Mao Xiaomiao, Mu Ran was still uneasy and sent a few bodyguards to follow them.
Xiao Jin glanced at the bodyguards, feeling a bit helpless. In case of danger, he didn’t know who would end up protecting whom.
But his aunt had assigned the bodyguards.
He couldn’t refuse.
Mu Ran and Xiao Yu’an went to send the two little ones to the high-speed train station.
After watching the train speed by, Mu Ran parted ways with Xiao Yu’an.
Since changing producers, the studio underwent alterations, and the large green glass windows allowed the outside view to blend beautifully into the office.
The solid wood desk paired with a casual bean bag sofa.
The strict office style was much reduced, becoming warmer and more interesting instead.
Especially as Mu Ran’s office was on the second floor, allowing her to overlook the first floor and through the glass window see the outside scenery.
Mu Ran praised the producer’s efficiency and ability to understand her thoughts.
But the producer, who always pleased her, was standing anxiously at the door today, face full of panic; when she saw Mu Ran approaching, she immediately seemed to grab hold of a lifesaving straw, "Director Mu, our horror movie can’t be released!"
At this moment, she was like a drowning person; she was gasping for breath when speaking, eyes full of extreme unease and fear.
"What’s going on?"
Some things.
You just need practice.
Just like Mu Ran, when her first movie couldn’t be released, she was angry and got a fever, but as it happened more frequently, she became calmer.
"Don’t panic."
Mu Ran comforted her briefly.
The producer was incapable of not panicking, "Our review didn’t pass, and two major cinemas refused to cooperate with us."
"Which cinemas?"
Mu Ran stepped onto the simply but elegantly designed wooden stairs, her gaze falling on the lush green leaves outside the window.
The spring breeze was chilly.
They were growing well.
Mu Ran’s upward steps halted.
The producer, babbling on, didn’t notice Mu Ran in front, and almost tripped following her upward pace.
Mu Ran quickly reached out.
Fortunately, the producer’s core ability was decent, and she managed to steady herself.
"Scared me to death."
"Sorry."
"No problem, no problem." The producer waved her hand, patting her chest with lingering fear.
Mu Ran also apologetically patted her back, "Don’t worry about the release; I’ll arrange it."
"Hm?"
The producer looked confused.
But facing her light brown eyes, which were deep and cold, the producer quickly agreed.
When Director Mu showed that look.
It meant someone was going to be unlucky.
Mu Ran entered the office, took out her phone, and started contacting the top executives of major film platforms.
Mr. Xiao was waiting for Mu Ran to come and beg for mercy; in his mind, it was just a small matter.
Nothing to worry about.
Unexpectedly, three months passed, and Mu Ran didn’t come for help.
Instead, that shameful grandson got caught by the police.
Whistleblower—Xiao Yu’an!
Mr. Xiao gripped his cane, his face looking sullen without any trace of emotion, and remained silent about his grandson’s actions returning all of Xiao Family’s money.
"If you want grandsons or great-grandsons, just ask your son to have them. Over the years, you indeed spent a lot on me, and I’ve listed the sums one by one. Xiao Baocang can’t escape prison for attempted murder, and Mu Ran won’t follow your orders. Oh, I sent you the movie link on WeChat; tomorrow, Mu Ran’s horror film will be released on all major platforms, with over fifty million reservations."
After Xiao Yu’an learned that Mr. Xiao had acted against Mu Ran, his heart skipped a beat, afraid Mu Ran would misunderstand he was the kind of person who forces her secretly.
But it turned out that she’d arranged everything and comforted him that elders are always unreasonable, just like her horror film has some erotic parts, and her brother commented on it again.
Mu Ran added her brother to the blacklist.
Xiao Yu’an imitated her, adding Mr. Xiao to the blacklist.
Moreover, during the investigation into Xiao Baocang’s fight for the family fortune, through Xiao Jin’s probing, he learned the original owner was killed by Xiao Baocang.
"Do you have to be so ruthless?" Mr. Xiao spoke with a voice full of elderly melancholy and rage.
"Money isn’t worth risking my life; it isn’t worth sacrificing my happiness."
In his past life, he worked himself to death.
And gained nothing.
Xiao Yu’an helped the people of the motherland, making the country more prosperous before going into business.
Also wishing to grow old with Mu Ran, Mu Ran was his untouchable scale, no one was allowed to touch, not even Mr. Xiao! freёwebnovel.com
"I’ll go now; take care of your health."
Xiao Yu’an saw that Mr. Xiao was old and didn’t provoke him further and got up to leave.
Mr. Xiao stared at his back; the man’s silhouette was upright, his steps steady and strong, he was quite decisive.
Also a commercial prodigy.
Some things he’d never done, and Mr. Xiao hadn’t noticed, it wasn’t until he did them that Mr. Xiao realized how remarkable they were.
He missed out on a prospering family’s grandson.
But he must have an heir!
An heir can’t be childless.
So...
He could only choose from a group of kids, Mr. Xiao closed his eyes, feeling deeply powerless inside.
He sent people to find a large number of women for his son, seeing if he could win by numbers and produce a decent child.
As for Xiao Baocang, who was imprisoned, let him serve as a lesson in front of numerous illegitimate children.
That would be his final contribution.
After leaving, Xiao Yu’an went straight to Mu Ran’s studio.
This time, while investigating Xiao Baocang, he also investigated the two people who framed Mu Ran.
He discovered that Mu Ran took the fall for Mu Dixin!
