An Exclusive love Chapter 317 - Dark Schemes

Ah Nan froze, then nodded. “Understood.”
“Don’t worry! I won’t cause you trouble,” said Ying Xin with a smile.
“Oh, no. It won’t be any trouble at all. Feel free to ask me anything you don’t understand, little miss!” Ah Nan turned to Ying Qingcang. “Monica is free these few days. Why don’t I ask her to stay with little miss?”
Ying Qingcang nodded. “Very well,” Ying Qingcang said, then turned to Ying Xin. “Monica is your senior. You should learn from her.”
“I will, daddy!” Ying Xin said, balling her fists.
Monica ran away from home a few days ago. When she returned, she found out that the movie star, Mei Jing was the real Ah Sha, whereas the Ying Xin at home was a fake. She didn’t take it well and blamed Ah Nan for hiding it from her—she ran away from home again.
When Monica found out about Wan Qingsi and Mei Jing, she had given Wan Qingsi an earful. She’d even created a fake Weibo account to smear Mei Jing’s name. Monica had decided to never let anyone know about what she did on Weibo.
“You brought me back to keep an eye on the impostor?” Monica asked, crossing her legs at the knees. She and Ah Nan were hanging out at Monica’s office after Ah Nan had brought her back from her runaway stunt. Ah Nan was sitting at the corner of the couch. “It was the young master’s decision,” he said. “It wasn’t my call.”
“Bullsh*t!” Monica grabbed a folder from the table and hurled it at Ah Nan, who dodged it nimble as though he had anticipated the assault. “You think I don’t know your sh*t? This is your doing! I bet you’re the one who suggested it to him!”
“Actually, you’re the best person for the job,” Ah Nan said with a straight face. “O- otherwise I’d have to… stay with the woman all day long…” Ah Nan blushed and looked at Monica, who was glaring daggers at him.
All of a sudden, Monica stood up from her chair. “Why are you blushing, hm? You want to… you know?” Monica planted herself into Ah Nan’s lap. “You know, honey, you’re the sexiest when you’re like this!”
Monica parted her legs until her knees were planted beside Ah Nan’s thighs. Her miniskirt hiked up, revealing her red lace, see-through thong. When she felt the hardness poking at her from below, Monica kissed Ah Nan smugly. “Hurry up and carry me inside, you idiot,” she said.
Ah Nan didn’t need to be told twice. He picked her up and then carried her into the lounge he’d installed inside her office last time. Moments later, as he watched Monica writhing and moaning under him, he prided himself for having taken a page out of his young master’s book—setting up a large bed inside an office lounge was absolutely genius!
“Nini!” Ah Nan cooed.
Monica shifted inside Ah Nan’s arms. “Don’t worry, honey,” she said. “I’ll keep an eye on the impostor.”
Ah Nan looked up at Monica’s flushed face, then felt her legs wrapping around his waist. He was hard and tight again. “You don’t have to try too hard, okay? And… be careful. She isn’t someone to be trifled with.”
“Okay, okay!” Monica nodded impatiently, then straddled him. “Let’s do it again!”
Ying Xin met Monica the following day.
“Monica!” Ying Xin gave Monica a warm hug. “It’s been so long! I didn’t manage to come back to attend your wedding!”
Monica rapped Ying Xin’s head with her knuckle. “Yeah! Yet I spoiled you so much when you were young. I wonder how I should punish you.”
Ying Xin chuckled and clung to her arm. “I guess my punishment should be… to treat you to a meal?”
“That’s a given,” Monica said, then handed her a CD. “These are the inside data for Xin Enterprises. Have a look if you’re free. Oh, and don’t lose that thing. That thing has a lot of confidential information!”
Ying Xin took the CD warily. “Are you sure I can look?”
“Why not? Your family owns the company anyway. Of course you can look.” Monica pushed her out the door. “Once you’ve committed the CD’s contents to memory, you can start taking part in company matters!”
“But now,” Monica said, “it’s time for that meal you promised me.”
That night, Ying Xin stayed up in her room. When she was certain that everyone in Ying’s residence was asleep, she pulled out a phone to make a call.
“I’ve planted myself inside Xin Enterprises,” Ying Xin spoke into the phone. “They trust me. Mmm. Gave me access to a bunch of confidential information today…”
“Right… I’ll send them to you later.”
A disapproving look formed on Ying Xin’s face after hearing something spoken to her on the phone. “Why should I give up Wan Qingsi?” she said. “He’s meant to be my fiance! That has never changed!”
“I know… That’s why I said I should fight for him… Otherwise, people will find it suspicious, right?”
“Fine, fine. I get it. It’s all an act, I get it…”
Ying Xin hung up, then mumbled to herself: “Geez, does he really have so little faith in me? She’s just some third-rate actress… I refuse to believe that I can’t snatch Wan Qingsi away from her…”
Meanwhile, Wan Qingsi received a surveillance audio file sent to him from the Wan family’s base—they had wire-tapped Ying Xin’s phone.
Ah Sha sat beside Wan Qingsi, munching on potato chips as they both listened to the phone conversation between Ying Muhai and Ying Xin.
Wan Qingsi frowned. “Looks like Ying Muhai has gotten his hands on some pretty advanced tools,” he said. “We didn’t manage to track his address from the call…”
“The fake Ying Xin is obviously not happy that her ‘fiance’ has been snatched away by someone else.” CRUNCH! CRUNCH! Ah Sha poked Wan Qingsi’s cheek a few times. “I bet she’s going to seduce you after this.”
“Hmph! Foolish woman,” Wan Qingsi said. “Even Ying Muhai himself had warned her not to mess with me.”
Ah Sha, on the other hand, disagreed. “But she’s right, though. If she does nothing while her betrothed is messing around and having an affair with another woman, other people will become suspicious.”
“Indeed! Since you’ve acknowledged your role as the other woman, why don’t you live up to it and start pleasing me, hm?” Before she knew it, Ah Sha was dumped onto the executive chair with Wan Qingsi on top of her. Wan Qingsi lowered his head.
Ah Sha tried to kick him away but ended up dragging Wan Qingsi’s boxers down his legs with her foot. Wan Qingsi chuckled and picked her up. “Well, since you’re so eager, then I won’t hold back. Come on, now. Give it to me, babe!” Wan Qingsi’s lips crashed down on hers.
Zheng Gege had already returned to the movie set after her food poisoning incident. As usual, she brought fruit tea for Ah Sha. Zheng Gege knew that the incident last time had to do with Hao Yuan. She also knew that Ah Sha was aware of it as well. Still, Zheng Gege never asked her anything about it, which further improved Ah Sha’s opinion of her.
From that alone, Ah Sha came to the conclusion that Zheng Gege was a smart and calm woman, a woman who would always know what she wanted.
“You can just ask, you know,” Ah Sha said when she noticed the way Zheng Gege was acting. The poor girl looked like she was about to explode if she didn’t start unloading whatever questions she had for Ah Sha. “You’ve been keeping it to yourself for a few days already,” Ah Sha went on. “You’ll probably go nuts if you don’t let it out!”
Zheng Gege chuckled, though her voice held its usual coldness. “Why did you put on an act in front of others?” After her first interaction with Mei Jing, Zheng Gege had dismissed all the things she read from the news articles about Mei Jing being just another arm candy. Since then, Zheng Gege had just assumed that the reporters had been making things up about Mei Jing. But when she saw the act that Mei Jing had put on in front of the reporters that day, Zheng Gege was shocked.
“Don’t you think it’s more fun that way?” Ah Sha sipped her fruit tea. “If they think that I’m good at acting, beautiful, attractive… well, basically that I have everything, then those women would go nuts. At least now, they can comfort themselves, thinking that I don’t have everything.”
Between an arm candy and a capable woman, people would be more likely to believe in whatever an arm candy said.
“Actually, it doesn’t really matter how capable you are. To those people, you’ll always be a woman who uses a man to climb to power,” Zheng Gege said, revealing a mocking smile. “Women are slandered regardless of what they do, whereas people keep finding excuses for men. Whenever they do something wrong, people will say, oh, there must be a good reason he did it. Men are always forgiven for what they did no matter how big, whereas women get destroyed even by a simple mistake.”
“Gege?” Ah Sha said. Ah Sha noticed that Zheng Gege’s eyes had already glazed over some time during her speech.
Zheng Gege’s eyes went wide all of a sudden. It was as though she had just woken up from a trance. “Ah!” Zheng Gege recovered. “I’m fine. I’m sorry. I guess I drifted off for a moment there.”
“Gege! Time for your scene!” A crew member yelled.
Zheng Gege stood up. “I’ll head back to work then!”
Ah Sha watched Zheng Gege’s retreating form, frowning as she did. Xiao Hua noticed the look of concern on Ah Sha’s face. “Young miss, shall we look into her past?” Xiao Hua asked.
“Sure,” Ah Sha said.
But when Xiao Hua was about to make the call, Ah Sha reached out to stop her. “Nah, forget it. Let’s not invade her privacy.”
Zhou Na came to check on Ah Sha in the afternoon.
“Do you know that Hao Yuan got a new movie role?”
“She found her own script?” Ah Sha asked casually. She was in the middle of removing her makeup.
Zhou Na nodded angrily. “It’s a big movie as well. The screenwriter won an international award before. I wonder how much her family paid to get the script.”
“What about the funds?” Ah Sha paused in thought. “How much money did she bring in?”
“From what I hear? She’s covering half of the production expenses while Stars Entertainment will cover the other half.”
Wan Qingsi came to pick her up for dinner. They’d made plans yesterday that they’d go to a seafood restaurant tonight.
“What do you think about Hao Yuan’s latest development?” Ah Sha asked.
“She’s pretty good, I’ll give her that. She managed to bring in thirty million,” Wan Qingsi said, holding Ah Sha’s hand as he drove. Once in a while, he’d drop a kiss or two on her hand.
Ah Sha frowned. “Something about this doesn’t feel right.”
“Your intuition is usually accurate,” Wan Qingsi said, leaning over the console to kiss her lips as if to reward her. Ah Sha pushed him away. “Eyes on the road!”
“Well, everything seems clean from what I can tell so far. I’ve read the script. It’s a spy thriller,” Wan Qingsi said, smirking. “I can’t wait to find out what she’s up to.”
With that much funds she had access to, Hao Yuan knew that she could’ve joined another company and become the number one actress there. There was no reason for her to stay in Stars Entertainment. Ah Sha’s position in Stars Entertainment was pretty much unshakable. Everyone knew how much Wan Qingsi cared about her. Besides, based on the news articles written about the ball, everyone could sense that Wan Qingsi might really be willing to go up against the Ying family because of Mei Jing.
Hao Yuan hated Ah Sha’s guts for two reasons: one, Ah Sha didn’t give her first place during the contest; two, Hao Yuan couldn’t stand to see others being better than herself.
“Don’t worry okay?” Wan Qingsi said reassuringly. “Focus on your acting, and remember to eat your meals. I’ll handle everything else!” Wan Qingsi pulled up at the restaurant and unbuckled Ah Sha’s seat belt. It was June, so the wind at the beach was a little bit cold; Wan Qingsi got Ah Sha to wear his jacket and pulled her snug against his side as they walked from the car to the restaurant.
The seafood restaurant was unique in the sense that half of it was underwater. Customers were granted a beautiful view of various aquatic animals swimming around them as they ate. There were even scuba divers swimming around to give customers a demonstration of underwater fish feeding.
However, what began as a wonderful dinner got ruined near its end. Wan Qingsi’s mood suddenly became sullen when Ah Sha received a phone call from none other than Lin Musheng.
“You’re coming to S City again?” Ah Sha asked into the phone. Apparently, Lin Musheng told her that he’d arrived in S City tomorrow, asking Ah Sha to make time to have dinner with him.
Wan Qingsi snatched Ah Sha’s phone away and hung up straight away. “Ignore him,” Wan Qingsi said with a scowl. “You’re not allowed to meet him.”
Ah Sha chuckled and tried to persuade him by giving him a kiss. “Oh, come on! Let’s go together! Please?”
Meanwhile, in another booth somewhere else, Hao Yuan was clinking her glass with an unknown man.
“You can leave it to us. We’ll handle it perfectly!”
“Remember to get the whole thing on tape,” Hao Yuan reminded. “Make sure that her face is on the video.”
“Got it,” the man promised. “You paid us double the amount, so we’d definitely pay more attention to what we’re doing. Just wait to see the news! But… once it gets big, will we get into trouble?”
“Hmph!” Hao Yuan smiled. “You guys don’t have to worry. She’s just an orphan without any background. Even if she sees your face, she couldn’t do anything to you. As far as I know, she’s still a virgin. You lucky bastards literally struck gold with this deal.”
