The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 45 When Master Xiao arrives, Jiang Zaiye immediately calls him "Mom!"

Jiang Li suddenly remembered that she hadn't returned the Fairy Flower haute couture dress to Qin Yexiao yet.

She finished eating the porridge.

I went back to my room and changed my clothes.

I packed the fairy-themed haute couture into a custom-made suitcase from a VR brand and headed out the door.

Standing in the elevator, she opened WeChat.

The news feed is still overflowing.

Cheng Sijun's profile picture shows more than a dozen unread messages.

Jiang Li's gaze fell on the last two lines.

[Chu Yan has cancelled all her appearances, and several major brands want to terminate their contracts with her.]

[Chu Linfeng contacted me, saying that Chu Yan is being cyberbullied by the entire internet and is in a very bad state, not eating or drinking. He wanted to meet with you, but I refused.]

Jiang Li pressed the buttons on her phone twice: 【Hmm.】

On Weibo, the popularity of Chu Yan's story has not diminished at all.

Shen Shu's fans are usually quite low-key, but this time, when they were provoked, their fighting power was almost terrifying.

The topic of Chu Yan's scandal is still trending at number one on the hot search list.

Jiang Li put his phone in his pocket, too lazy to look at Chu Yan's messy affairs.

We arrived at the entrance of Huating County.

Jiang Li hailed a taxi and gave the address: "Beidi Manor".

The driver's eyes twitched when he heard those four words.

They clearly knew the power and status that the Northern Emperor Manor represented in the entire Northern City.

He glanced cautiously at Jiang Li, who was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Okay."

……

The closer you get to the area of ​​the Northern Emperor's Manor.

The wider and cleaner the road, the spotless it is.

The vast palace is surrounded by precious plants and trees within a radius of one kilometer, all lush and green.

Each road is guarded by black-clad bodyguards and has security gates, preventing outside vehicles from entering.

Last time Qin Yexiao brought Jiang Li here, they had a smooth journey.

This time.

The bodyguard in black saw an unfamiliar taxi and immediately stepped out of the booth. He had strong features but no expression.

The driver was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The bodyguard in black walked to the car and said coldly, "This is a restricted area. Please leave immediately."

The driver was terrified and almost instinctively turned the steering wheel to leave immediately.

The next second, the bodyguard in black suddenly changed his expression, bowed deeply, and said respectfully, "Miss Jiang."

driver:"……"

He must have met some important person today...

At that moment, the roar of a huge engine approached from afar.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a red sports car screeching to a stop next to the taxi.

Qin Yichen, sitting in the driver's seat, greeted Jiang Li with a nonchalant smile: "Jiang Li, what brings you here?"

He took off his sunglasses and got out of the car.

Jiang Li took the VR custom case out of the taxi trunk and pushed it in front of him.

The VR brand's custom-made suitcase for high-end formal wear is worth two million.

The dress inside is now worth over 100 million.

Qin Yichen watched as Jiang Li casually pulled out something worth over 100 million from a cheap taxi.

Qin Yichen: "..."

Jiang Li said in a low voice, "Help me return this to your brother and thank him."

Qin Yichen raised his chin and said into the Northern Emperor Manor, "Let's go in and have some fun. I'll call my brother and tell him to come back when he's done with his work and we can have a meal together."

"No need, thank you." Jiang Li got into the car.

Qin Yichen stopped her, casually draped his arm over the taxi roof, and bent down to look at her, saying, "I'll show you around the Beidi Manor. My brother might be back late. If you're sleepy, you can take a nap in the master bedroom."

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow in a seductive manner.

Jiang Li remained silent for a moment.

She looked away, rolled up the window, and said expressionlessly, "Driver, start the car."

Qin Yichen: "..."

……

Jiang Li returned to Huating County.

I started reading the script of "Like a Dream" for the second time.

Before filming begins, she reads the script five times for every role she takes on.

To truly understand the character, to get close to the character's soul, until you achieve resonance.

Watched it for more than an hour.

The sound of a password being entered came from the doorway.

Jiang Zaiye led two wolf cubs in, rapping a pretty energetic rap, and carrying a big bag of snacks.

Jiang Li looked at him, her eyes narrowing slightly: "You dare to skip class."

Jiang Zaiye's arrogant voice came to an abrupt halt, his face stiffened, and he stood frozen at the doorway.

He instinctively blurted out a rebuttal: "No, I didn't."

Even if there is, it cannot be admitted.

Jiang Li's gaze suddenly swept over the digital clock on the wall, and she raised an eyebrow: "Oh, it's Saturday today, you have the day off."

Jiang Zaiye: "..."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Baby, Mommy is so poor, it's hard for me to raise you. Study hard and eat more at school, Mommy pays for your meals."

Jiang Zaiye paused for a moment, then said with a complicated expression, "Mom, I pay for all my tuition myself."

Jiang Li's fox-like eyes curved into a smile: "Baby, where would you get your own money? What's yours is Mommy's."

Jiang Zaiye: "..."

Jiang Li smiled insincerely: "What's wrong, baby? Did Mommy say something wrong?"

Jiang Zaiye immediately echoed loudly, "Yes! Whatever Mom says is right! Those who obey Mom live! Those who defy Mom die!"

The two wolf cubs also looked up and howled.

Jiang Li paused for a second, then gestured towards the kitchen with her chin: "Go cook."

……

Early morning, Beidi Manor.

Qin Yexiao came back to pick up something.

He stepped into the living room and saw the fairy-themed haute couture dress that Jiang Li had worn the night before displayed there.

Qin Yichen was nestled on the sofa, playing a game: "Brother, why are you back?"

Qin Yexiao lifted his chin, asking in his formal attire, "What's going on?"

Qin Yichen glanced at it and said, "Oh, Jiang Li brought it over this afternoon. She asked me to thank you."

Qin Yexiao's cold gaze fell on him, his tone indifferent: "Does she need you to relay what she told me?"

Qin Yichen opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself: "?"

Is it wrong for him to pass on a message?

Qin Yexiao's dark eyes were fixed on him.

Qin Yichen immediately understood, slapped his thigh, and promised, "Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely make her tell you herself next time."

The man looked away, walked to the back, and said, "Put the dress in the dressing room."

Butler Qin bowed and said, "Yes."

Qin Yexiao took out his phone and sent Jiang Zaiye a message: [Are you feeling any better from your cold?]

Over there, Jiang Zaiye was standing on a stool, cooking noodles for Jiang Li.

Upon seeing the WeChat message, he raised a small eyebrow.

However, his father still cares about him quite a bit.

The child replied in a good mood: "I'm feeling better now, thank you for your concern, big brother."

Qin Yexiao didn't expect Jiang Zaiye to reply to him so late.

He asked, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

Jiang Zaiye typed: [My sister is working so hard studying the script, I'll make her a late-night snack.]

Qin Yexiao: [You do it?]

Jiang Zaiye sent him a short video: "[My skills are pretty good.]" Qin Yexiao watched the video.

There were fried eggs, boiled vegetables, and several fried skewers, while the noodles in the pot were bubbling away.

Jiang Zaiye sent another voice message: "My sister wants to eat barbecue, but she doesn't know which takeout is good. She's very picky and won't eat this or that. If she's unlucky and orders something bad, I'm afraid I won't see the sun rise tomorrow. Luckily, we have meat skewers at home."

Qin Yexiao pushed open the door and replied, "Are you at Huating tomorrow?"

In the voice message, Jiang Zaiye's voice sounded very sweet: "Yes, my sister doesn't really like going out, does she?"

Qin Yexiao: [Okay.]

Jiang Zaiye, unsure of his intentions, asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Qin Yexiao: [Get some rest.]

……

After finishing his meal, Jiang Li played a game.

Then I went back to my room barefoot to take a shower.

When I came out, my phone was full of unread messages.

Feng Mu: [Bro, I'm starting filming next week. How about coming over to my place tomorrow to play games and have hot pot together?]

In recent years, Feng Mu has worked hard to improve his culinary skills, and the results have been quite good.

Jiang raised an eyebrow: [Okay.]

My phone suddenly switched to a video call.

Cheng Sijun called: "The filming of 'Like a Dream' will start at the end of the month, and we'll be taking costume photos. Tomorrow, Aqing and I, along with our new assistant, will come to your house for dinner to get acquainted."

There are only a few days left until the end of the month.

Jiang Li grabbed a towel and dried her hair, saying casually, "You're late. I just promised Feng Mu I'd go to his house for hot pot tomorrow."

Cheng Sijun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's eat together at your place. I'll talk to Feng Yingdi."

Jiang Li didn't care and just hummed in agreement.

……

The next day.

Jiang Li was awakened by the voices outside.

"Aunt Sijun, Aunt Qing... what brings you here?" Jiang Zaiye asked curiously.

"Holy crap! My brother's family has a child?!" It was Feng Mu.

"Holy crap! Xiao Ye, why didn't you go to school today? Did you skip class again?" Cheng Sijun had obviously forgotten that Jiang Zaiye was at home.

Jiang Zaiye was speechless: "Today is Sunday."

Cheng Sijun: "..."

Jiang Li lay on the bed, her arm raised and pressed against her forehead.

Several seconds passed before she expressionlessly threw back the covers and got out of bed.

I walked barefoot to the bathroom.

……

Jiang Li finished washing up and came out.

Feng Mu sat frozen on the sofa, completely dumbfounded.

Jiang raised an eyebrow.

It seems that Cheng Sijun has already told him about her relationship with Jiang Zaiye.

Jiang Zaiye smiled, revealing his little tiger teeth, and called out, "Mom."

Feng Mu's scalp tingled instantly: "..."

Cheng Sijun had already informed her new assistant about Jiang Li's situation.

The new assistant took a night to recover and is now in good spirits.

She poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Li: "Sister Jiang Li, my name is Xu Miao."

Jiang smiled and gently hooked her finger under her chin: "Hello."

Xu Miao blushed and her heart pounded as she looked at Jiang Li's radiant face.

Her goddess is absolutely stunning!
Jiang Li took a sip of water, picked up her cup, and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

Feng Mu was in very poor mental condition. He stared at Jiang Li, hesitating to speak several times.

Jiang Li, nonchalant and carefree, crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the sofa.

After a long pause, Feng Mu asked in a tense voice, "Your son? My own?"

Jiang Li raised her fox-like eyes, looked at Feng Mu, and said expressionlessly, "Hmm."

Feng Mu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after calming down for a long while, he blurted out in a fit of rage, "Where did you get such a big son?!"

Jiang Li, playing on her phone, replied casually, "Raw."

"Isn't that obvious?!" Feng Mu couldn't accept it: "You were secretly married?"

"No," Jiang Li replied succinctly.

After finishing a glass of water, she stretched out her hand holding the empty glass.

Jiang Zaiye ran over excitedly to pour it for her.

I'm just too lazy.

Feng Mu glanced at Jiang Zaiye, his feelings complicated: "Where's his father? Who is he?"

Jiang Zaiye hadn't spoken yet.

Cheng Sijun, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, looked up and said, "She died seven years ago. Sigh, don't ask anymore. When a person dies, the light goes out. Why ask so many questions? Remember to keep Xiao Ye's matter a secret."

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Zaiye: "..."

This is a misunderstanding.

Is it a bit too big?
Xu Miao learned another shocking piece of news, and his mouth dropped open in astonishment.

Her goddess gave birth, but the father of the child died?!
Feng Mu suddenly raised his voice: "What did you say? His father is dead?"

Cheng Sijun nodded: "Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you say you wanted to make lobster? Hurry up."

Feng Mu glanced at the composed Jiang Li, paused for a moment, and then stood up.

Cooking lobsters when you're not in the right frame of mind.

Cheng Sijun understood Feng Mu very well.

He suddenly arrived at his brother's house, only to find that his brother's child was old enough to run errands.

No one could accept this.

in the kitchen.

Feng Mu asked Cheng Sijun in a low voice, "That man... is he really dead?"

Cheng Sijun nodded: "If that's what Master Li said, then it must be true."

Feng Mu was taken aback: "Neither of you have seen that man before?"

Song Qing and Cheng Sijun are the two people who are closest to Jiang Li.

Cheng Sijun washed the mushrooms: "No, they haven't mentioned him much, so he's probably not an important person."

Song Qing also said, "Now that Feng Yingdi has been crowned, let's not mention Xiao Ye's father anymore, so as not to upset him."

Feng Mu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settled down, and he nodded: "Mm."

He brought over some wine and started cooking the crayfish.

Cheng Sijun washed the vegetables and called Jiang Li over to take them to the dining table.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Jiang Zaiye's short legs darted in.

Feng Mu brought a lot of ingredients, so the hot pot meal was very lavish.

Song Qing brought the alcoholic beverages to the dining table.

She said to Jiang Zaiye, who was still playing with Xi Shi and Diao Chan, "Xiao Ye, go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"Okay." Jiang Zaiye rubbed the heads of the two little wolves and went to the bathroom.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Cheng Sijun and the others were busy, so they called Jiang Li to open the door.

Jiang Li put down her phone and walked barefoot to the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qin Yexiao and Qin Yichen, and there was a strong smell of barbecue in the air.

Qin Yexiao lowered his gaze and it landed on her feet.

The next second, those dark, deep pupils shrank, revealing a hint of danger.

Jiang took a step back expressionlessly, hooked her slippers over, and slipped her feet inside.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Li looked up at them.

Qin Yichen held up the paper bag in his hand, which bore the logo of the Tianyin Hotel.

He smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together, barbecue and drinks."

Just then, Jiang Zaiye came out of the bathroom, smelled the aroma of barbecue, and excitedly asked, "Mom, you ordered takeout?"
