Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Song Yu Han was satisfied after hearing the words that came out of his wife's lips. He would indeed do everything to protect both Ran Xueyi and Little Zhanzhan.

"But I never expected the Cao family to be so powerful. Even Song Yichen seems afraid of them," Ran Xueyi said as she began to think about this matter carefully.

Supported with Song Yu Han's lifestory that he had just exposed to her, Ran Xueyi guessed that the Old Patriarch Song didn't want to openly go against the Cao family.

As she had expected, Song Yu Han nodded and didn't deny this.

Song Yu Han explained: "Cao family may not be able to contend with the Lu family in the past. However, they were able to become an illustrious family after two decades of hard work. Unlike the Song family, where most members were men, the Cao family had too many daughters that they could marry off to another wealthy family."

Ran Xueyi was not surprised to hear this. But she also couldn't help but feel stunned. After all, she didn't think that during modern times, there are still some families that would rely on their daughters as the pillars of their clan.

She initially thought that Cao family would have at least gained a strong standing in the society because of their successful ventures in business, but it turns out that things like this were not included in the information that she had gathered secretly to prepare for the battle against the Cao family.

But this was to be expected, the things that the Cao family did to be able to become a wealthy and healthy family in the social circle was not publicized. Although it was not rare for other families to follow the same method to become an influential family, the Cao family didn't want to let anyone find out that they used their daughters to claim a strong foothold in the capital.

As they think it would be too shameful to announce this to the public.

Nevertheless, it was all thanks to Song Yu Han that she was enlightened.

Song Yu Han had close contact with the Cao family due to Cao Huiling. Thus, it wasn't hard for him to find out the real reason why Cao family was extremely strong nowadays.

It was just that… Ran Xueyi couldn't understand why a business tycoon like the Old Patriarch Song would be so afraid of them even if the Cao family relied on his in-laws' influence.

Song Yu Han knew her so well that he could read her mind and directly said even before she could ask: "The Patriarch of the Cao family helped Song Yichen to become the head of the family in the past. The two showed their close friendship outwardly, but their true feelings towards each other could be neither warm nor cold. Song Yichen was afraid that with the influential in-laws that the Patriarch of the Cao family have, the Song family would be in danger."

That was also why he quickly settled the marriage between Cao Huiling and his son, Song Ruan despite knowing that his son already had a lover.

The only variable in his plans was Song Yu Han, who unexpectedly slipped out of his watch.

It would have been okay if Song yu Han died in his mother's womb and never lived, but he grew up into a smart young boy. Song Yichen could not allow himself to kill such a young sprout that could become another pillar of the Song family. Hence, he decided to keep him even though the Cao family expressed their dissatisfaction towards his actions.

She still wanted to know more about the matters between the Song and Cao family when Ran Xueyi heard a muffled groan and looked around until she saw Adelle, who was completely forgotten, waking up.

Ran Xueyi: "..."

Ahem, she didn't want to admit that she really forgot about Adelle.

Song Yu Han stopped talking and glanced behind him.

Adelle woke up with a painful headache and looked at the couple in front of her with a frown, "Why am I on the floor?"

Ran Xueyi walked over to her side and reached her hand to help her up.

Adelle didn't want to stay on the floor and accepted her help. Her head was still feeling a little bit dizzy and her limbs was slightly numb. However, she was no longer muddle-headed and remembered what happened before she lost her consciousness.

She jolted in alarm and wanted to warn Ran Xueyi that there was a man who wanted to do evil things to her when her eyes landed on a man tied to a chair. At a glance, it was obvious that the man was out cold.

Adelle looked at the couple before she said, "Everything's done already?"

Ran Xueyi nodded and proudly said, "En! My husband is so strong and knocked him out."

Adelle wanted to tell her that it was not the time to boast about her husband's strength but seeing Ran Xueyi's overjoyed smile, the words that were at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back to her stomach.

Unlike Ran Xueyi's carefree personality after a crisis, Adelle took on the more serious matter at hand to discuss.

"If you guys already subdued him, why didn't you send him to the local police for him to be investigated? He entered the compound without problem and easily got close to Ran Xueyi. It would have been a big problem if something happened," said Adelle with a frown.

She was older than these two by a few couple of years. Adelle usually didn't act like an older sister because she took on her role as a manager very seriously, but with the two not acting accordingly after subduing the opponent, her headache returned.

Thankfully, no staff member came to the dressing room and witnessed this scene. If someone actually saw the two main leads of the film beating up a man until he was unconscious… One could already imagine what the result would be.

However, this was the case if it was a normal fan who just wanted to get closer to Ran Xueyi or an anti-fan who just wanted to harm a celebrity.

The man was not a simple crazy fan nor an anti-fan, he was a hired mercenary who was paid to kill Ran Xueyi.

After hearing the ins and outs of the situation, Adelle was soaked with cold sweat. She never thought that this matter was more serious than she thought.

She breathed a few times to calm herself and asked, "Then, what should we do? If we can't ask the local police for help, who will help us find the culprit?"

Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han turned silent.

Adelle was not stupid enough to not notice the strangeness between them and guessed something horrifying.

"You two already know the culprit?"

Ran Xueyi nodded before shaking, "We merely confirmed our doubts after he confessed but we can't tell who really ordered him. Don't worry, we'll take care of this."

After all, Xiaoshun was only paid through an online wire transfer. He took on the task that was handed to him by a senior member of An Hun thus he also didn't know the specific details of the client.

If they really wanted to know, they could only approach An Hun.

But it would be really hard to get the answers from An Hun.

It was not a small organization plus, they had to make a trip to the Underworld personally to find their answers.

Ran Xueyi didn't say anything after speaking.

Speaking more about this matter would only put Adelle closer to danger. She didn't want to involve her in this mess.

Adelle understood her intentions and inaudibly sighed. She said, "Since you already know, I won't ask anymore. But you two should still be careful and not get hurt."

Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han nodded at the same time as they watched Adelle make an excuse of finding the director to excuse the two for being late.

In truth, after she was rendered unconscious by that villain earlier and woke up after, she knew that there's nothing she could do to help Ran Xueyi.

The filming continued as soon as Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han returned to the set.

As usual, they flawlessly finished every scene without mistakes. In everyone's eyes, they were both outstanding actors with different styles and aura.

But there were a few people that noticed the change in the atmosphere surrounding Ran Xueyi.

Director Daren approached Ran Xueyi when they finished her scenes and asked her, "Although you acted your scenes accordingly, your mood seems to be unstable. Did something happen?"

Ran Xueyi was naturally surprised by his sudden question, and asked, "Why do you say so?"

Director Daren looked at her as if she had just asked a stupid question and pointed at her face. "Your eyebrows are gathering every ten minutes. Your eyes will narrow after I call out a cut. Even though it's very subtle, I watch you through the monitor and could tell this changes very easily."

Now, Ran Xueyi was genuinely shocked. Did she really do that?

Director Daren continued as if he was stating an established fact: "It's not only you. He is also the same. But yours is even more obvious. Did the two of you fight while you were on a break?"

Ran Xueyi stared at him.

Director Daren said while scratching his chin in a thoughtful manner: "No, fighting is impossible between you two… It'd be more accurate if you two messed around during the break. Otherwise, your manager would not come to find me to make an excuse."

Ran Xueyi could not listen to his nonsense anymore. What fight? What mess around? She was almost murdered, okay!
