Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

When the script reading between the main leading actors was done, the young director waltzed out of the room while telling them that he had to go back in a hurry to finish some important preparations for the filming.

Ran Xueyi walked him out of the room, and when the door finally closed behind her, she went to the sofa where she found Song Yu Han still sitting there as if it was his own house.

"Why did you suddenly want to become an actor?" Ran Xueyi stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "You didn't do it just because you found out about the scenes in the film, right?"

She was worried he would misunderstood the reason why she had taken the film in the first place. Truthfully, she never had the intention to do any of those scenes and will use a body double for the most intimate scenes such as the kiss and the bed scenes, but she'll take care of other scenes to make it look like it was really her doing these scenes.

It wasn't rare for an actor or actress to hire a body double. Even Hollywood actors looked for the most suitable body double in order to do the difficult action and mature scenes in the film. Having a body double will also ensure that a professional stunt actor will execute the movements and the safety of the actors they're substituting.

In her case, Ran Xueyi did not even want to have any man to touch her intimately after her marriage. Thus, she had no plans at all to do the kiss, bed, and nude scenes with another actor. And Song Yu Han's worry was ungrounded. Unfortunately, she hasn't had the time to clear this misunderstanding to him.

Song Yu Han reached his hand out first to grab her waist and admitted, "That's one of the reasons. But I wanted to try what it feels like to be an actor and get closer to you."

"But you are the closest person to me," she told him. "You don't have to do this."

"I don't. But I want to do it."

With him saying this, Ran Xueyi no longer talked about this matter. Since he wanted to become an actor, she could only support his decision. Even if his reason to become an actor turned out to be for her sake.

Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han went home that night. The two decided that since they will soon appear in the same film, they could share some thoughts on the roles they will be playing in the film.

The next day, Director Daren told them that they will start filming next week. After much preparation, the filming location was set in Paradise City, a city where many tourist spots could be seen.

During the week in which the filming still hasn't started, Ran Xueyi returned to Chestnut in order to find out what the outcome of Yao Chuan's matter. As soon as she arrived, Uncle Wu reported to her about the situation.

"Yao Chuan's mother had drawn and signed a contract with her maternal family. The result of her signature being genuine is not yet done being investigated. But at this time, Yao Chuan's maternal family has the right to demand payment for the money that his mother allegedly took from them."

"But Yao Chuan is not directly connected and shouldn't be responsible for his mother's debt."

Uncle Wu nodded. "That is true. However, there was a clause in the contract that if ever the debtor passed away, the money and properties they owed from the creditor will be shouldered by their immediate relative. In which case, Yao Chuan, who is the son of the debtor, needs to pay for his mother's debt."

Yao Chuan's maternal family was really sickening! But if the contract was true and the signature of his mother had really been written by her, then the only person whom Yao Chuan should hate was his mother, who threw him to the Tiger's mouth without pitying his poor, innocent son.

"Where is Yao Chuan?" she asked him.

"In his apartment. He finished most of his scenes in the film we suggested he take last time. So, he's now resting." Uncle Wu paused slightly as if he was hesitating to say something, but after a second, he finally said, "Madam, I don't think Yao Chuan's matter can be dealt with legally. His maternal family will win in this battle if we take the legal way."

What do you mean?" Ran Xueyi frowned but then it dawned on her what he had actually meant. "You want to use the underworld's method?"

Uncle Wu was not surprised that she even knew of the underworld. The Big Boss must have told her. But what he didn't know was that Ran Xueyi had learned about this from Jian Yiling and at some point in her life, she was also able to be a part of that world.

"Yes, Madam," Uncle Wu nodded. "They are persistent and stubbornly harassing Yao Chuan with threats and even when we tried to turn them away, they found another method to get to him."

Just recently, a crowd of fans had surrounded Yao Chuan during a show's press conference. One would initially thought that they were his avid fans, but who would have thought that some of his fans were actually paid by his maternal family to harass him.  And this wasn't the first time that they did this to him.

Ran Xueyi instantly fell silent. She hadn't thought of using this method. But considering the fact that Yao Chuan's situation was dragging and causing trouble to him and his mental health, as the President of Chestnut Entertainment, she couldn't allow any of this to continue any longer.

Seeing the cruel light in her eyes gleaming, Uncle Wu didn't need to hear her orders as he had already decided to use other 'means' to deal with Yao Chuan's maternal family.

"Well, then, if there's nothing else. I will return to my office." He excused himself and headed towards the door. Just as he was about to leave, he heard her speak.

"When you meet with his maternal family… Make sure they regret ever bullying Yao Chuan." Ran Xueyi didn't have to deal with this matter by herself. She could use Uncle Wu's help. If she wasn't preoccupied with her own busy schedule, she could have gone by herself to meet Yao Chuan's maternal family.

But unfortunately, there were other reasons why she couldn't do it. She was a public figure. It wouldn't be wise for her to do things the underworld's way.
