Chapter 72.3 - Night Changan screen test
After Chief Ning found out that she changed her role, and she asked for it, his brows furrowed. “Changle princess has more scenes than Liu Ji.”
“I know.” Tang Xiao didn"t care. “Because Liu Ji and the crown prince have a bed scene!!!”
When she originally saw the script, she"d silently decided on it.
For the sake of this bed scene, she definitely needed to get that role!
Chief Ning finally understood.
“When we film, I"ll just purposely get some NGs and make that one bed scene into many bed scenes!!”
“....” Chief Ning was helpless, “You really are shameless.”
“Thank you, thank you, Chief Ning, you"ve been a great role model!”
Chief Ning: …..
“Alright, well this is okay too. Even though this role doesn"t have that many scenes, with Mu Cheng as your acting partner, it won"t be too bad.”
“Right, is Mu Cheng really busy lately?” Last time when they did the screen test, she didn"t get to see him for a while.
Even though they called each other every night, they seemed to avoid the topic of the Mu family so Tang Xiao wasn"t really sure about what he was busy with.
Chief Ning looked at her and knew what she wanted to ask.
He knew that he finally couldn"t avoid it, and lightly said, “En.”
Tang Xiao happily jumped closer to him and pa.s.sed him a recently sliced up apple, “What has he been busy with lately~ I haven"t been able to play games or eat with lately.”
“Nothing much. Do you really want to know?”
Tang Xiao nodded her head vigorously.
Chief Ning gave her a look.
Tang Xiao immediately understood and ran to ma.s.sage Xiao Lin"s legs.
After Xiao Lin had gotten pregnant, her legs grew swollen and she wasn"t used to walking much.
Sometimes when Chief Ning wasn"t at home, they treated Tang Xiao like a nanny.
“Simply speaking, Mu Cheng has a third uncle. That old director of Xingyu company, you"ve seen him. He wanted Mu Yifang to use her company to launder money for him. He bribed a project manager in her company to withdraw a large sum, create a fake invoice, and then accept his money to replace the sum of money. Mu Yifang"s a smart person, so there was no way she wouldn"t find out. Recently, she was working with Mu Cheng to find evidence, to begin attacking back and slowly start taking back their third uncle"s share of the company.”
When the Mu family started their company, they relied heavily on property investment.
Mu Cheng"s second uncle wasn"t too interested in business so for a long time now, he hadn"t had any input into the business side of things.
Right now, it was only Mu Cheng"s third uncle and Mu Yifang, as well as some estranged distantly related relatives who were involved.
Apart from property, the Mu family had some other a.s.sets too.
Mu Yifang inherited the bulk of the family"s capital, while her third uncle inherited some other companies.
Normally, the two would be quite separate but humans are greedy, and no one would think they have too much money.
Their third uncle had had his eye on Mu Yifang"s share for a long time and he"d secretly set up his own property investment company too.
His money wasn"t all clean either and he stole a lot of Mu Yifang"s business.
And now, he wanted to takeover the company and use it to launder his own money.
“Then, nothing will happen to Mu Cheng, right?” Tang Xiao felt a bit uneasy.
Chief Ning shot her a look. “Mu Yifang is a woman after all, so she"s not vicious enough. Even with a Mu Cheng, added together, they aren"t as vicious as their third uncle. Yesterday, I said to Mu Cheng that our Ning family has a second miss that hasn"t married anyone. As long as he decided to become my brother-in-law, the Ning family wouldn"t leave him out to dry. With Ning family"s help, then their fight won"t be too hard.”
Tang Xiao heard this and her mood instantly became complicated, “Did Mu Cheng agree?”
“No. I"m quite happy with how Mu Cheng dealt with it, but I"m afraid he"ll come to regret that decision.”
“...” Tang Xiao, “I just want to say, you"ve been too bored lately.”
Chief Ning looked at her disapprovingly.
Suddenly, the phone rang and the screen said it was from Mu Cheng.
“What is it?”
Mu Cheng said something on the other side as Chief Ning"s expression grew dark.
He had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at Tang Xiao, “Are you sure it"s Tang Xiao? She"s right by my side right now.”

TL note:
Mu Yifang = Mu Cheng"s sister
Mu Cheng doesn"t know that TX is Chief Ning"s little sister, they have different surnames after all. He just thinks that they"re either distantly related or someone has asked Chief Ning to take care of TX.
Leave a comment and because Mu Cheng should"ve just agreed to marry the second miss xx
