Ran Xueyi stared at Song Yu Han in shock. She hadn't expected him to take the phone away and say those words to her grandfather.
Song Yu Han noticed her look and raised his eyebrows. "Unhappy?"
"Nope. I'm just surprised," Ran Xueyi immediately said.
Truthfully, she hadn't planned to introduce Song Yu Han to her grandparents yet as her husband. They would be so terrified by this huge bomb that she's going to serve to them. At the very least, when they find out she was married to someone for three years, her grandmother will surely faint from shock and her grandfather will go into seclusion for a week.
And so, Ran Xueyi intended to introduce Song Yu Han as the man she planned to marry and want them to treat him as their son-in-law. In this case, her grandparents will not be too shocked when they heard she's married to him.
But her plan was thwarted by Song Yu Han.
Well, it doesn't matter. Since it was done then, there really was nothing she could do but to introduce him as her husband to her grandparents. Besides, she still needed to let Xiao Zhanzhan meet his great-grandparents and for her grandparents to spoil their son.
A few hours later, Song Yu Han tucked Xiao Zhanzhan in bed while he and Ran Xueyi went to sit on the couch inside the room.
Ran Xueyi was held by him in his arms and sighed. "By returning to the country, I had some expectations that there would be better days but I never thought that troubles would rise in every direction. Tell me, am I a trouble magnet?"
Upon hearing her, the corners of his lips twitched. Song Yu Han said, "Then you're the most beautiful magnet I've ever seen."
There was some truth in Ran Xueyi's words, but it was not her fault that everybody was itching to cause problems to her. Besides, being pretty, outstanding, wealthy, and amazing was not Ran Xueyi's fault. People were just too envious of her and couldn't take looking at others doing well.
That was just how human nature was. There was no need to complain about it.
...
The next day, Ran Xueyi was itching to go to the filming location to check how everyone else was doing. But in order for her plan to be successful, she couldn't show her face to the public just yet.
It was the fifth day after Ran Xueyi disappeared that something really happened. Steffanie, who was called out for several mistakes for five consecutive days, could no longer take it and went against Director Xiao.
Steffanie no longer listened to Director Xiao and did whatever she wanted and even Producer Long, who arrived after going overseas, was shocked to see the tense and gloomy atmosphere inside the set.
Just when he entered the set for one of the scenes, he saw an actress heading straight towards the camera and kicked it until the lens broke.
"What are you doing!" Producer Long could not watch this go on any longer. He intended to watch on the side and see how everyone was doing while he was gone, but he couldn't understand why the set was even messier than an open market!
Steffanie flinched upon hearing the loud voice and turned her head to glare at the man. However, she held her breath when she saw Producer Long coming straight at her.
Producer Long was a renowned producer with a wealthy background. His family members were businessmen and they were also frequent film and movie investors. Not only that, Producer Long, himself, was a scary man with his tall and robust figure similar to a WWE wrestler.
"Director Xiao, what the hell is happening? Why are you letting this actress act recklessly like this!" Producer Long turned his attention towards Director Xiao.
"Um... It's not Director Xiao's fault, Producer Long. We tried to stop Steffanie several times already, but she threatened to shut the entire filming." One assistant came forward to defend Director Xiao.
Producer Long frowned. "Shut down what?"
Did he hear it right? An actress threatened them to shut down the filming?
Producer Long inhaled sharply and coldly said, "If I remember, you're Chang Jinhao's daughter, the current president of Lullaby entertainment. If I'm not wrong, even if Chang Jinhao owns the country's entire entertainment industry, he cannot shut down any filming crew without a careful considerations and investigations."
"Even the Film and Television Regulatory Administration cannot shut down any films without any valid reason. And now, you're saying that you're shutting us down? May I have the honor to know what is your real identity and reason for shutting the film down?"
Steffanie was embarrassed by his words.
When confronted like this, even if Steffanie swallowed a tiger's gut, she couldn't come up with any good response to that. Producer Long's words made a lot of sense and she couldn't refute it.
Her father is rich and had some power but it was limited within the premise of his company. But Steffanie acted like a tyrant princess and treated everyone else like a slave. Many directors endured working with her only because they wanted to give Chang Jinhao some face, but it was also because of their own indulgence that Steffanie's case was getting worse.
However, too bad for her, she met Producer Long, who never bent down under anyone just because they are rich and powerful. His family also came from a wealthy background and nobody dared to look down on him.
"We're very sorry about this, Producer Long. Steffanie is just not feeling well today and made this mess." Li Yiwei, Steffanie's new manager, came forward to apologize despite being glared at by her. "Please send the list to my number and we will pay back all the damages that we caused today."
After saying this, he put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Steffanie, we should go to the hospital and have you rested before you start acting your scenes again."
Steffanie wanted to throw his hand off her shoulder, but the hand only tightened and it was really painful. She glared at him as Li Yiwei brought her to her dressing room. When the door was tightly closed, she pushed him away and raised her hand to slap him.
But as if he expected this much from her, Li Yiwei blocked it and took hold of her wrist.
"You...!" Steffanie got even angrier at this.
But Li Yiwei didn't care as he said, "Miss Chang should tame your temper a bit. Your father entrusted your fate in my hands after the mistake you made last time."
"Even if I end up sending you to a low-budgeted variety show in the countryside or an R-rated film, President Chang will not question me and only ask me to take better care of you. You've caused your father a lot of loss last time and he didn't want to spoil you anymore. And yet, you still acted arrogantly in front of Producer Long."
"If you lose your role in this film, see if your father will even stop me from doing exactly as I planned!" Li Yiwei threw her hand away with a disgusted expression and left.
Steffanie did not react for a while after Li Yiwei threw those words at her. When she finally snapped out of her daze, she was so angry and ashamed. She tried calling her father to report what Li Yiwei told her just now and have him fired, but who could've known that her father blocked her number.
When she visited her father last time, he reprimanded her for an hour when he found out what she and Shi Lian had done before sending her away. At that time, Steffanie thought that her father wouldn't be angry at her for doing such a good job of ruining an annoying actress like Ran Xueyi.
But she was wrong. Her father had decided to punish her this time by letting Li Yiwei stand by her side to guard.
Now that she thinks about it, Steffanie wondered where did Li Yiwei come from? He had never seen her in the company before. Why did her father suddenly entrusted her with him and how did they meet?
