Chapter 39: Just Jealous to the Point of Madness

evious closeness.Lu Qinan glared at her with a dark face, gritting his teeth and emphasizing, " Qiao Bao'er, I hope you understand that this young master has no interest in a woman like you who is wil..."Miss Liu, Huan Ying Media has confirmed you as the female lead in their first drama of the year. This is a remake of a blockbuster film from last year. The role went through a long selection process. As soon as you returned, you landed this part. What are your thoughts"

Qiao Baoer was sitting bored on the small sofa in her bedroom, watching entertainment gossip and live-streaming news about Liu Yiy's return to the entertainment industry.

"Miss Liu, since your debut six years ago, you have played all important female lead roles. There are rumors that you refuse ordinary plays. Everyone has been very curious about your scandals. Can you reveal anything about the other party"

"Miss Liu, you disappeared three years ago. Did you marry into a wealthy family Is your comeback because your husband supports your interests"

Liu Yiy's lips curved into a smile, but she didn't answer.

She was wearing a light yellow suit and a snow-white long skirt, looking fashionable and elegant. When asked about the rumors, her face flushed slightly, showing a happy and shy look.

"He's such a good shepherd to her."

Qiao Baoer looked at the face on the television screen, a face that was almost eight points similar to her own. Suddenly, she felt a little downcast.

Qiao Bao'er has never cared about entertainment gossip, but recently she couldn't help but pay attention to Miss Liu. Whether it was boredom or... something else.

She suddenly felt the urge to know more about Liu Yiy. After all, theoretically speaking, Liu Yiy was her 'rival' in love...

"Lu Qinan!" Grabbing her phone, Qiao Baoer immediately called Young Master Lu.

She didn't dare to ask Junzhimu directly, but Lu Qinian was different. He was very outgoing, and she felt that Lu Qinian was much easier to get along with than Junzhimu.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Qinian was a little surprised to receive her call.

After a moment's hesitation, I picked up. "How's it going, Qiao Baoer Haven't you been stirred up by the recent news Feeling jealous"

He still spoke with that sly, almost gleeful tone.

Jo Bao'er heard the words 'jealous,' and her face fell.

"I'm not jealous, I just want to know if I really have a half-sister," she retorted in a raised voice.

Speaking of this, Lu Qinan also once suspected, “Don't think too much, Liu Yiy and you have no blood relation at all.”

"Liu Yiyi was an orphan since she was a baby. She was adopted by an elderly Canadian couple when she was a baby. After growing up, she went to college in the United States. Six years ago, she met her husband in New York..."

< Qiao Bao'er's expression was a bit awkward. She also knew that this Miss Liu was unlikely to be her blood sister; she was just trying to gather intel. >

But then she suddenly thought of something and was a little confused, "Lu Qinan, last time in the city, you said Jun Zhimou went to worship her"

"You thought she was dead, buried her in the city. But Liu Yiy's ancestral home is also in the city, isn't it"

Speaking of this, Lu Qinnan's face looked a little strange, and his voice sounded low, "I don't know about her ancestral home, but... back when Liu Yiyin met Mu Zhi, the two of them talked most about that high school in the city..."

“Is that my alma mater Hey, Lu Qinan, last time you said Jun Zhimu had returned to China for half a year and studied at No. 1 High School in the city…” Mentioning that high school, Qiao Baoer seemed a little excited.

"I suggest you don't bring up that high school in front of Zhi Mu. He doesn't like people talking about it." Lu Qin Nan interrupted her.

Qiao Bao'er, hearing his serious tone, didn't press him any further.

It seems like every time we talk about Jun Zhi's shepherd 6 years ago, spending half a year in the city, there's always some withholding, as if it were an unspeakable secret.

But to be honest, besides looking similar in your features and figures, hehe... Qiao Ba'er, you are so violent! Liu Yiy's gentle image as a lady, where do you compare

Lu Qin Nan jokingly remarked at her one last time before hanging up the phone.

Qiao Bao'er didn't bother him anymore, but whenever she thought of Miss Liu, her heart would feel strangely uncomfortable.

"As soon as Liu Yiy came back, she moved the female lead position from Lu Qinan to herself. That bastard hasn't even given me a gift, what a two-faced person." Her words were tinged with sourness.

She was a little excited about this remake, but, “Liu Yiyi’s delicate temperament is totally unsuitable for that drama. Jun Zhimu just threw money at her to prop her up...”

Recently, Junzhi's pastor has been quite busy. She speculates that it's probably because of his affair with Miss Liu, after all, this time Liu YiyI snatched a role that originally belonged to another woman.

"It was you who took the role that originally belonged to Ye Wei!"

The office door was flung open in a rush, and Yi Sicheng stormed in.

"The film and television company really attaches importance to this drama. They started auditioning for roles last year. Liu Yiy's temperament is simply not suitable for the leading role, and you actually interfered with the investment because of one woman!"

Because this drama is a remake, the crew is top-notch, aiming to surpass the classic. This last-minute change of lead actor increased the investment risk, and Yi Sicheng is one of the investors.

In contrast to Yi Shen's agitated anger, Jun Zhi Mu sitting at his desk remained utterly impassive.

"You can now withdraw your investment."

Jun Zhimu continued to hold his pen and sign the documents. He didn't even raise his head, his voice was cold.

Yi Sicheng looked at him, ignoring his expression. Anger surged in his head, "Cousin! You know this isn't just about the investment!" He called out "cousin," his teeth gritted almost painfully.

"Brother, you should know that Ye Wei is Qiao Wenyu's current wife." That is, Qiao Baier's stepmother.

Jun Zhi Mu grasped the pen, paused for a moment, and chuckled softly, "So what"

"After all, Ye Wei is part of the Qiao family. You and Qiao Bao'er are legally married, aren't you You're openly trying to please your lover and going against the Qiao family. Cousin, isn't this disrespectful to Qiao Bao'er"

Jun Zhi Mu didn't pay him any mind at first, but when he heard him mention Qiao Bao'er's name, he suddenly raised his head and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to say"

Yi Sicheng had always been a little wary of his cousin, Jun Zhimu, since childhood. Seeing his clearly displeased expression now...

"Choose your words carefully, "Brother, I know you see Qiao Bao'er as a replacement for Liu Yiyi, but no matter what, don't hurt her."

Jun Zhi Mu looked at him, his gaze becoming increasingly cold. "You came here today specifically to remind me not to hurt Qiao Bao'er, you seem to care about her a lot!"

"I told you, what's between me and Qiao Baoer is none of your business!"

Yisi Chen almost blurted out, “I’ve been married to Bao'er for three years, and I know her personality. She would never submit to being a substitute for anyone, and my previous misunderstandings with her…”

"Well Regretting it Suddenly missing your ex-wife"

The Lord suddenly let out a cold laugh, his tone laced with suppressed emotion as he glared at the man across from him. "Don't forget she's your sister-in-law now! You should know that some things missed can never be retrieved..."

"Some things are just destined to be impossible from the start... so don't get your hopes up!"

Jun's voice was deep and gloomy, each word carefully measured, as if suppressing emotions threatening to boil over.

"Go out—"

He suddenly stood up from his chair and barked out a sharp command.little guy immediately sprang up, like he'd been shot out of a cannon, jumped off his chair and pounced at Pei Huoran's feet."Dad, there's a parent-child activity at the kindergarten on Saturday. You'...
