Chapter 14: Gossip Queen (14)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Aileen called Ming Shu constantly.
After Ming Shu got in Jiang Xun’s car, she could free herself from the thrall of food to answer Aileen’s call.
“Jiang Nian, do you know how many times I called you?!” Aileen shouted through the phone as powerfully as a tsunami.
Aileen almost went crazy last night.
“I don’t know, let me see.” Ming Shu brought the phone away from her face to count, then answered, “Fifty-six. Still less than one hundred.”
“...”
Less than one hundred!
Less than!
Aileen wanted to kill somebody. She shouted at the phone so loudly her voice could be heard off speaker.
Jiang Xun looked at his sister, her arm against the window and her legs crossed. Her slit skirt exposed her beautiful white leg.
Jiang Xun looked away and leaned over.
A strange but familiar smell came to Ming Shu. Holding a bottle of milk, she moved back and stared at Jiang Xun.
What are you doing? Robbing my milk?
Jiang Xun smiled suddenly. But maybe because he didn’t want Ming Shu to see it, he quickly stopped. He helped her fasten her seat belt. “Seat belt.”
Ming Shu looked at the side of Jiang Xun’s face.
When Jiang Xun sat back, Ming Shu quickly finished her milk. Meanwhile, the more Jiang Xun looked at Ming Shu, the more lovely he thought she was.
“Jiang Nian, are you listening to me?” Aileen shouted for some time and found that Jiang Nian said nothing. She had to continue shouting.
“I listened.” Ming Shu put the phone close to her ear and said, “Just terminate the contracts. Tell them to compensate me. I’ve heard that my work for the year after next has been arranged already. Such a large sum of money, we should get all of it.”
I can buy lots of food.
“Are you crazy?” Aileen was in a fury. “If those contracts are terminated, do you know what else you can do in showbiz?”
“Sister Aileen, I don’t want to act anymore. I can get such a huge amount of cash before I quit acting. Isn’t it great?” I am a woman with a dream.
“What?” Aileen shouted. Then a sudden sound came out of the phone, such that nobody knew what happened to Aileen. After a while, Aileen returned to the call. “Are you a fool? You’re at your peak right now, do you really want to quit? You are the young miss of the Jiang family. Li Shaonan is powerful in showbiz, but your Jiang family is powerful too. Jiang Nian, don’t ruin your future.”
The more Aileen spoke, the lower her voice became. She really wanted Jiang Nian to go far in showbiz.
“Sister Aileen, I’m tired,” Ming Shu said in a low, exhausted voice.
But—
“Jiang Nian, what are you eating!”
...
“You really don’t want to act?” Jiang Xun paused for a second before continuing. “If you want to act, I can help you.”
Ming Shu turned her head to look at Jiang Xun. “Bro, I decided to compete with you for the family assets.”
She could buy lots of things if she got the family assets!
Jiang Xun’s didn’t look fazed at all. “The Jiang family is yours. I’m just protecting it for you.”
“...”
Boring. It was not interesting if she competed with only herself.
When she got out of the car, Ming Shu said, “Brother, don’t be alone anymore.”
Please don’t love me anymore!
I won’t belong to you!
My snacks will be unhappy!
Jiang Xun saw that she was surrounded by journalists. But with a smile on her face, she said something that made those journalists unwilling to ask questions. In the end, she entered Starlight Entertainment like a queen.
Jiang Xun held the steering wheel tightly. A gloomy atmosphere spread in the car.
How could she put him in her eyes?
Jiang Xun covered his face for a while. Because they were brother and sister, she would never regard him as a man.
He hated his identity as the young master of the Jiang family.
But he still didn’t want to abandon this identity. If he were not the young master of the Jiang family, he wouldn’t even have the chance to accompany her.
...
Even though Aileen couldn’t accept it, Ming Shu decided she wouldn’t continue acting.
She didn’t want to do it. How could Aileen force her?
Aileen was extremely angry, so when those people came to terminate their contracts, she asked for a large sum of money as reparations. Some of them bargained with her, but Aileen directly showed them the contracts.
She just did things according to the terms. If they didn’t want to give her money, they must uphold the contract. If they wanted to terminate the contract but didn’t want to pay reparations, Aileen would prosecute them.
It was not Aileen and Ming Shu who wanted to terminate, it was them. They were unreasonable, so they had to pay up.
Compared to losing money, they were more afraid of Li Shaonan.
Why were they not afraid of the Jiang family? Maybe because a difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. If the Jiang family wanted to develop in showbiz, they needed help from others in showbiz. Between offending Li Shaonan and offending the Jiang family, they knew which to choose.
Most of the contracts had been canceled. Ming Shu held a press conference and announced that she was about to quit acting.
She was just quitting acting, not leaving the industry altogether.
In the press conference, Ming Shu was asked whether she was afraid of Li Shaonan.
“Afraid? I don’t know the definition of the word!” Ming Shu answered with a smile. Her voice was gentle, but others heard arrogance in it. “In this industry, it’s uncertain who will have the final say in the future. Let’s wait and see.”
I’m a little hungry. When will this finish? These journalists ask questions constantly.
Another journalist asked, “So, Miss Jiang, why do you want to quit acting? With help from Starlight Entertainment, you could still go on acting.”
Ming Shu smiled energetically, eyes shining. “In life, one should be brave enough to pursue one’s own dream.”
I feel hungrier.
I want to pursue my dream.
“...”
Wasn’t a star’s dream to be hot and popular? What else did she want? To fly?
Maybe Ming Shu’s dream was eating.
Acting affected her eating, so she quit acting.
Li Shaonan’s decision didn’t make Ming Shu angry, it actually helped her greatly. She worried about how to terminate her contracts. Now she needn’t cancel them herself and was even paid reparations.
Well, Li Shaonan’s decision didn’t harm Ming Shu at all. She didn’t care whether she could act or not. And because of this matter, she made lots of money...
Now she also was the boss of Starlight Entertainment...
It was maybe the funniest joke of the year.
Someone guessed that Li Shaonan was about to compete against Starlight Entertainment.
Actually, Starlight Entertainment was not as powerful as Jinyu Entertainment. That was the weakness of Starlight Entertainment.
But Ming Shu didn’t seem worried about that. She showed up in different kinds of... hotels, restaurants, and snack shops.
Ming Shu resolved everything before Jiang Xun had to provide her with help. Additionally, Father Jiang was extremely happy when he heard Ming Shu quit acting. As long as she quit acting, Father Jiang didn’t care what she did with the company.
“...” One can do her own will with money , Ming Shu thought.
#Former superstar visited various snack shops instead of operating company after she quit acting. Is she going to change professions?#
The news divulged almost everything of Ming Shu’s activity after she quit acting.
She arrived at the company at nine in the morning and finished work at twelve. And her lunch destination changed everyday.
Then she returned at one in the afternoon and get off work at six.
Her working hours were the same as ordinary employers. Was she really a boss?
Following were some secretly taken photographs. In every picture, although Ming Shu was eating, she was still extremely beautiful. She was smiling and polite all the time. She looked gorgeous from every angle even while eating.
Because of this, Ming Shu was supported by lots of foodie fans.
#Can a foodie still be beautiful? Is my way of eating wrong? Waiting for answers online, urgent.#
