Princess Is Glamorous In Modern Day Chapter 1148 - : Dumped

Chapter 1148: DumpedTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Glory World Corporation, Xuan Li looked at the surveillance video his assistant had brought in and raised an eyebrow. “Who is this young lady?”
“We recently discovered this young lady. She seems to be Xuan Sheng’s admirer,” the assistant said as he handed the documents in his hand to Xuan Li. “But Xuan Sheng doesn’t seem to like her. It’s just her wishful thinking.”
Xuan Li’s gaze landed on the video.
Lu Li’s lively eyes were like a deer in the forest. They were lively and cute. The way she spoke was extremely moving and filled with the vitality of youth.
“That might not be the case,” Xuan Li suddenly said.!!
“What do you mean?” The assistant was a little puzzled. What might not be?
Xuan Li smiled and put the video aside. “It’s nothing. Get me a copy of the young lady’s phone number and other information.”
“Okay, I’ll get it later. Take a look at this first. Our project in Linxi City has a conflict with the Moon Bay project developed by Xuan Sheng. He’s snatching our client.”
Xuan Li took the document and looked at it. A haze flashed across his eyes. Father Xuan valued this project very much. If I could do it well, Father Xuan would definitely value me even more.

“Reduce the price until it’s low. Let’s win the client over first. As for the subsequent matters, let’s talk about it after we stabilize the client list first.” Xuan Li quickly gave his opinion.
“Yes.” After reporting the matter, the assistant walked out of the office.
Xuan Li leaned back in his chair and took another look at the video. He tapped lightly and the scene was paused on Lu Li’s dimples.
A glint flashed across Xuan Li’s eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
In Beijing Hospital, after Lu Li left, Wei Jin gradually fell asleep.
It was only when she smelled a faint fragrance that she subconsciously sensed someone beside her. She suddenly opened her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who was sitting beside her.
“Mother, why are you here? Didn’t I say that my health has improved a lot recently and I don’t need to be taken care of anymore?”
Wei Jin had mostly suffered superficial injuries. They looked very terrifying, but she would recover after resting for a while.
Wei Jin’s mother, Ding Hui, was a thin woman. Perhaps because she had lived in the inner residence for a long time, her eyes looked dim.
“I have nothing to do at home myself.” Ding Hui smiled and picked up the food box in her hand. “I just want to come over and accompany you more. I made some soup for you. Drink it before you sleep. It’s very nourishing.”
With that, Ding Hui opened the food box. Inside was extremely soft hen soup mixed with wontons and red dates.
The moment the lid was removed, a strong fragrance wafted over.
Wei Jin’s eyes flickered. “Mother, you still remember that I loved to drink the soup you made when I was young?”
When Wei Jin said this, Ding Hui paused in her actions. “Of course I remember.”
Ding Hui had married into the Wei family when she was very young. She was originally an unloved child in the Ding family. After marrying into the Wei family, she did not have the support of her family. Wei Zhong was an extremely domineering person. She lived obediently every day and did not dare to cross the line at all.
Even after giving birth to Wei Jin, she could not raise her herself.
The Wei family said that they were considering her health, but she knew that this was because the Wei family did not trust her.
Wei Jin had been brought by the nanny since she was young, so Ding Hui could only secretly send her some chicken soup. Every time, the two of them would sneak to the backyard of the Wei family’s mansion in the dead of the night. After eating the chicken soup, Wei Jin would pretend that nothing had happened and return to the nanny’s side.
Wei Zhong quickly sensed their actions.
That year, Wei Jin was five years old. Wei Zhong made Wei Jin kneel in the snow for two hours until she was almost frozen before letting her into the house.
As for Ding Hui, from then on, she was deprived of the chance to see her biological daughter. She did not even have the chance to cook another bowl of chicken soup for her daughter.
Now, Wei Jin and Ding Hui recalled the days when they were on tenterhooks and sighed.
Ding Hui sighed. “Alright, let’s not talk about back then. Now that my daughter is capable, she saved me, right? In the future, I’ll make you whatever you want to eat, okay?”
Wei Jin nodded. “Okay.”
Ding Hui took out a soup spoon and stirred the chicken soup a few times. She scooped out a large drumstick and placed it in a bowl, then poured out half a bowl of soup. “Don’t move. Mom will feed you.”
Wei Jin tightened her grip on the cup and looked into Ding Hui’s eyes. “Mother, you’ve lived so hard all these years. Is it because you were forced, or are you willing?”
Ding Hui looked at Wei Jin. “Why do you ask? Do you think I deliberately didn’t raise you well? I just want to tell you that if I had a chance to choose back then, I would definitely take you away from that ruthless place. Do you still blame me?”
Wei Jin shook her head slowly. “That’s not what I meant. I want to tell you that regardless of whether you raised me or not, I’ve always treated you as my mother.”
Ding Hui’s eyes flickered, and tears welled up in her eyes. The hand holding the soup spoon was trembling visibly, as if she was struggling with something.
A moment later, she forced herself to calm down and took a spoonful of soup. “Drink it. It’s still warm.”
“Okay.” Wei Jin glanced at the fragrant chicken soup, and disappointment flashed across her eyes. Then, she opened her mouth and swallowed the chicken soup in the spoon.
“Drink another mouthful.” Ding Hui fed Wei Jin spoonful after spoonful of soup. Only when half a bowl of chicken soup was gone and even the chicken drumstick was eaten did Ding Hui stand up. “Rest well first. I’ll go out and ask the doctor how you’re doing.”
“Okay.” Wei Jin nodded slowly and watched Ding Hui leave. Then, she pursed her lips and pulled the blanket to lie on the bed.
Ding Hui closed the door of the ward. Through the window, she saw that Wei Jin was already lying down. She took out her phone from her pocket and made a call. “She’s already finished the soup.”
A muffled male voice came from the other end. “Someone is picking you up.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Ding Hui’s arm, which was holding the phone, was still trembling slightly. She glanced at Wei Jin, who had clearly fallen into a deep sleep, and her face was a little pale.
The hospital was as busy as ever. People came and went.
Lu Li returned home in the afternoon and made a few dishes. As usual, she divided them into a few portions. When she carried the things to the hospital to visit Wei Jin, she was told that Wei Jin’s mother had already helped her settle the discharge procedures and Wei Jin had already left the hospital.
“Why was she in such a hurry? Did they say why they left so quickly?” Lu Li was puzzled. Didn’t Wei Jin say in the morning that she wanted to eat pork ribs for lunch? Why did she suddenly leave the hospital? Could something have happened?
With this thought in mind, Lu Li took out her phone and called Wei Jin. Ding Hui answered.
“Miss Lu, what’s the matter? Ah Jin is sleeping.”
“Auntie, why did you suddenly leave?” Lu Li placed the lunch box on the counter and shook her sore hand.
“Oh, it’s like this.” Ding Hui’s tone was very normal. “I know an expert who is great at treating external injuries. You also know that there are many scabs on Wei Jin’s body. Girls love to look beautiful. I want to bring her out of the hospital to visit that expert and try not to leave scars on her body.”
“Alright.” Ding Hui was Wei Jin’s mother after all, and Wei Jin usually relied on her, so Lu Li did not ask further. “Then when you come back and you need help, you can call me anytime.”
“Thank you so much. I’m still cooking, Miss Lu. I’ll get busy first.” With that, Ding Hui hung up.
Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Lu Li felt a little strange, but in the end, she put her phone back in her pocket.
Ding Hui and Wei Jin were family after all. There might be something in their family that they did not want outsiders to know.
Lu Li did not want to be that insensible and annoying person.
She walked out with the lunch box. When she crossed the corner, she accidentally bumped into someone. This person seemed to be here to treat his leg. He was already limping, so when Lu Li bumped into him, she fell to the side.
Lu Li hurriedly reached out to stop him. “I’m sorry, are you okay?”
“It’s nothing, thank you.” The man’s voice was very gentle. Lu Li looked up. It was a well-dressed young man. Although he was smiling, there was a layer of darkness in his eyes, making Lu Li inexplicably uncomfortable.
Lu Li was about to let go when the man seemed to have touched his wound. He subconsciously gasped and leaned on Lu Li’s shoulder. “I’m really sorry. My leg is injured. Can you help me upstairs? I’ll pay you.”
“Okay.” Lu Li nodded. With the lunch box in one hand and the man in the other, she sent him upstairs.
“We’re here. Thank you. This is your reward. My name is Xiao Li. What’s yours?” Xuan Li handed five hundred yuan to Lu Li and asked her with a smile.
“Lu Li.” Although Xuan Li gave her an average impression at first, he was very gentlemanly along the way, making Lu Li let down her guard.
“Lu Li, what a cute name.” Xuan Li smiled. “Take the money.”
“No need. It was nothing.” Lu Li waved her hand, not wanting to accept Xuan Li’s money.
“Actually, I have a presumptuous request to give you.” Xuan Li smiled in embarrassment. “I’ve been in a meeting this morning and am extremely hungry. I saw you carrying a lunch box and wanted to buy one from you.”
Lu Li looked down. There was an extra portion for Wei Jin anyway. She handed the lunch box to Xuan Li. “It’s fine. Eat it. I made an extra portion anyway.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the time and thought to herself, Oh no, I’m late. “You don’t have to give me money. I’m leaving.”
With that, Lu Li carried her things and ran downstairs.
Behind him, the corners of Xuan Li’s lips curled up slightly. “Tsk.”
Lu Li rushed to the place she had agreed to meet Ding Shanshan, but she did not see her.
She called Ding Shanshan, but no one answered.
“What’s going on?” Lu Li frowned. Is it inappropriate to go out today? Why can’t I find people no matter where I go? I can’t find this or that.
In the Beijing Hotel.
Ding Shanshan was looking angrily at Xuan Sheng, who was not far away, and the flirtatious woman sitting beside him.
“Xuan Sheng, aren’t you going too far?!”
Xuan Sheng looked up slightly. “Oh? How am I going too far?”
“Where did this woman come from?! Why did you let her sit beside you? I’m your girlfriend.” Looking at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman with an extremely good figure beside Xuan Sheng, Ding Shanshan’s heart was filled with anger and jealousy.
“Yo,” the woman said, her voice so soft that it seemed like half of her body would soften if she heard it. “Isn’t Miss Ding good at poaching? Can’t you tell? I successfully seduced your boyfriend, right?”
“Shut up!” In the morning at the hospital, Xuan Sheng had clearly asked about her well-being. Ding Shanshan could not accept this situation for a moment. Her eyes were red. “Ah Sheng, did I do something wrong? Tell me, can I change? Don’t you like to eat my food the most?”
Hearing about food, Xuan Sheng’s eyes flickered. When he looked up, his eyes were cold. He raised his arm and hugged the waist of the person beside him. “You did quite well, but I’m tired of it.”
“You!” Ding Shanshan finally saw it clearly. There was no reluctance in Xuan Sheng’s eyes. They were as cold as ice. “Are you really going to do this to me?!”
Xuan Sheng lit a cigarette impatiently and leaned on the sofa. He slowly spat out a circle of eyes. “Look at you and then look at her. How can you compare to her?”
“You bastard!” Seeing that there was no hope of redemption, Ding Shanshan stopped pretending. Her expression changed drastically as she pointed at Xuan Sheng and began to scold him.
“Miss.” The flirtatious woman looked at Ding Shanshan and smiled disdainfully. “It’s very embarrassing to make a scene in front of someone else’s current girlfriend.”
“Pfft.” Ding Shanshan’s eyes turned red from anger. She looked at the flirtatious woman. “What do you think you snatched? Other than having some money, what else does Xuan Sheng have? He’s just a decoration that can be seen but not used. To think you treat him like a treasure.”
With that, Ding Shanshan picked up her bag and left. However, when she reached the door, Xuan Sheng suddenly said, “Wait.”
A hint of hope appeared in Ding Shanshan’s eyes, but she maintained her expression. “What?”
Xuan Sheng reached out and pointed at the hair that had fallen off Ding Shanshan. “Pick it up and take it away.”
“…” This was simply a plain insult. Ding Shanshan gritted her teeth and turned to leave. Her last hope was shattered.
After Ding Shanshan left, the flirtatious woman beside Xuan Sheng suddenly smiled. She was as bright as a blooming red rose. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Xuan Sheng, you’ve already become like this. Didn’t you used to be surrounded by flowers? Now, you’re being ridden by such trash?”
Xuan Sheng took a drag on his cigarette. “Shut up.”
“Hey, to be honest, if I didn’t return to the country this time, were you going to keep bringing such a girlfriend?” The woman’s smile widened. “Why did your taste become so bad after returning to the country? Didn’t the Internet say that you liked that Xia Wanyuan some time ago? That photo of her looks not bad. This Ding Shanshan is simply blinding.”
Xuan Sheng looked at her lazily. “You’re getting more and more talkative.”
The woman waved her messy hair. “Sigh, this boyfriend is too much. He doesn’t even let me speak?”
“You really want to be my girlfriend?” The corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up. “I have no problem, but someone might have.”
The woman, who had been teasing just now, immediately changed her expression. “Hey, you’re boring. You were the one who wanted me to help pretend to be your girlfriend just now. I was just joking, but you took it seriously.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. Rest well and don’t talk nonsense outside.”
The woman snorted softly.
I did not know who had asked me for help just now. Now that I had helped, Xuan Sheng began to burn the bridge.
Xuan Sheng had many things to do, so he gave the woman a piece of paper. “Here, this is the contact information and address. Go out and play by yourself. Don’t disturb me.”
“… Hmph.” Only then did the woman put on her coat and take Xuan Sheng’s wallet. She took out a bank card inside. “I’m a guest. If you want to treat me to a meal, you don’t have to come. What’s the password?”
“Six fours.” Xuan Sheng rubbed his eyebrows. He suddenly regretted suggesting that Feng Wuyou return to the country.
This woman was a huge problem.
——
After Lu Li returned to the production team, she told Xia Wanyuan about Wei Jin’s discharge.
Wei Jin had always had a good relationship with her mother. After knowing that Ding Hui had handled the discharge, Xia Wanyuan did not say anything. “I understand. I’ll call Wei Jin when I have time.”
“Mm.” Lu Li nodded.
After all sorts of scenes, the movie “Eldest Princess” had basically entered the final stage.
Xia Wanyuan’s scenes were filmed at the beginning. Although she no longer had to film, ever since Xia Wanyuan guided the filming once, the director wished he could keep Xia Wanyuan on the set every day.
“Wanyuan, how about changing this scene?” The director leaned towards Xia Wanyuan with a thick script in his hand.
“Wanyuan, do you think the male and female leads need another background when they meet?”
“Yuan Yuan…”
The director had a million questions as he grabbed Xia Wanyuan, this sheep that worked hard. Although he was a little tired, Xia Wanyuan knew that the director was sincerely asking for guidance, so she patiently accompanied him for the entire afternoon.
It was only when it was almost time to get off work in the evening that the director reluctantly put away the script.
He looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sigh, I’m too ashamed. You’re too amazing. Wanyuan, you can completely film and act your next movie by yourself. Anyway, you’re an all-rounded talent.”
Xia Wanyuan was speechless. Coincidentally, Lu Li sent over a cup of throat-soothing white fungus soup. Only then did the director realize that he had been pestering Xia Wanyuan for the entire afternoon. He scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m really sorry. It’s been hard on you. Hurry up and go home to rest. See you tomorrow.”
After Xia Wanyuan finished the white fungus soup, Lu Li had already packed her things. “Let’s go, Sister Xia. It’s time to get off work.”
“Mm.”
Xia Wanyuan brought Lu Li out. Just as they left the set, they heard cries not far away.
Lu Li glanced in the direction of the crying and happened to see a grandfather and granddaughter. The old lady was wiping her tears. When she saw Xia Wanyuan, she cried even louder.
Xia Wanyuan took a look and retracted her gaze, walking straight forward.
The old lady cried as she looked at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping beside her, she gave her grandson a look.
Her grandson immediately ran to Xia Wanyuan and stopped her. “Big Sister, can you help us?”
Xia Wanyuan lowered her head. “Help what?”
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward. “Young lady, my health isn’t good. The child’s grandfather suddenly became seriously ill. I have to go to the hospital. Can you help me take care of my small stall? I’ll be back in an hour.”
Lu Li spoke up. “Why don’t I help you look after it?”
She knew that Jun Shiling was definitely already waiting for Xia Wanyuan. Anyway, she was free and could help.
However, the old lady’s gaze never landed on her. She kept staring at Xia Wanyuan. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was silent, she gave her grandson a look.
The child immediately knelt down to Xia Wanyuan. “Big Sister, please do something good. Please do something good.”
The child’s sudden kneel not only frightened Lu Li, but also attracted the gazes of the passers-by.
“Get up first.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at the small stall beside her. It sold candy figurines.
However, the business was definitely average. Xia Wanyuan was an expert and could tell at a glance that the sugar was mixed with rock sugar. The juice used to color it was not from vegetables, and it was too bright.
“If you don’t agree, I won’t get up.” The child knelt stubbornly, and the old lady knelt beside him. “Please, you look very kind.”
Xia Wanyuan’s eyes turned cold as she took a step forward.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s actions, the old lady was overjoyed. Just as she was about to stand up and lead Xia Wanyuan over, she saw Xia Wanyuan walk past the two people in front of her and leave.
Displeasure flashed across the old lady’s eyes. She raised her chin at her grandson. The child immediately rushed towards Xia Wanyuan, wanting to hug her leg and not let her leave.
Xia Wanyuan gestured. In an instant, four guards in black flashed over from both sides of the street and blocked the boy’s path.
Seeing that her grandson’s appearance was not helping, the old lady was anxious and shouted at Xia Wanyuan, “Why are you so ruthless? So what if I ask you to help me take care of the stall? Isn’t it an urgent matter? Didn’t you say on television that you wanted to protect our cultural heritage? I’m selling sugar figurine, so why aren’t you protecting it?”
Xia Wanyuan turned around. “You know me?”
The old woman realized that she had said something wrong, but she made up her mind. So what if I know? “So what if I’ve watched television?! If you can help others watch the stall, why can’t you help me?”
The old lady did not usually watch the news, but that day, she heard from the surrounding people that a stall owner who had been taken care of by Xia Wanyuan had become the representative of that city’s cultural heritage and had earned a lot of money.
There were countless tourists who went every day because of her. Listening to their descriptions, the old lady remembered that the person who came out of the production team every day was Xia Wanyuan. Only then did she have a trick up her sleeve.
Who would have thought that Xia Wanyuan could help others look after the stall but was unwilling to help her?
“I’ll get the bodyguards to watch for you over here. Go to the hospital and visit your husband.” Looking at the thin child not far away, Xia Wanyuan did not pursue the matter in the end.
With that, she left. Behind her, the old lady scolded the bodyguards and her grandson.
“These people are too much…” Lu Li, who had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, frowned. “You’re kind, but in the end, she wants to use you to earn money. This old lady is disrespectful.”
“It’s human nature. She won’t be the only one,” Xia Wanyuan replied.
“Huh? Will others be so bad too? No way.” Lu Li’s eyes widened.
Xia Wanyuan shook her head slightly. When it came to benefits, there had always been many people who crossed the line.
What Lu Li did not know was that there were already many phenomena on the Internet using Xia Wanyuan’s reputation.
Not long after Xia Wanyuan finished the popular science program on national television, a large number of merchants and scenic spots promoted their “cultural heritage” in her name.
Not everyone in China had the ability to distinguish between real and fake information. Many unscrupulous merchants used all sorts of screenshots of Xia Wanyuan on the show to deceive consumers’ trust.
Not everyone had the ability to distinguish between real and fake information. Under all sorts of tricks, many people were deceived.
The merchants had long run away after earning enough money. If they could not find someone to take responsibility, the responsibility could only fall on Xia Wanyuan, whom everyone knew.
The situation had just sprouted and had yet to form a certain scale. Everyone had been cheated of a small sum of money, and these things had not attracted everyone’s attention.
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was already a little vigilant, but she had yet to pay attention to the specific incident.
She got off work early today. Jun Shiling was in a meeting at the company, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to look for him at the company.
When the car drove to a congested road, it was suddenly chased by a car behind.
