Chapter 184: 184 Can't ask, shouldn't be curious, definitely nothing good

184 Can't ask, shouldn't be curious, definitely nothing good.

To be honest, it's her first time staying in a five-star hotel.

Don't ask; if you ask, everyone knows why.

Inside the presidential suite, Tushan Jiu lay on the soft big bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It's not that she doesn't want to get up; she's just overly full.

Have to admit, Xie Shiyu now really understands her taste.

The restaurant he recommended and those dishes—every one suited her taste, so she accidentally ate too much.

She moved her fingers; it was about time.

She must have nearly beaten the person to a pulp by now.

She had to leave, otherwise if the police took the person away later, she'd have to make another trip to the police bureau, which is quite a hassle for a visit.

Tushan Jiu rolled around on the bed once.

She murmured, "Bed, bed, why are you so comfortable? Mmm... I really don't want to get up."

But she was just talking; the next second she sat up right away.

After changing clothes, she called the driver and then left the room.

She walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

There's only one presidential suite per floor, three floors total, and hers is the middle one.

Because the top-floor one had already been occupied for over half a month.

When Tushan Jiu pressed the elevator, it happened to come down from the top floor.

With a ding, the elevator arrived; after the doors opened, her foot that was about to step in paused.

And the fully armed Bai Yu inside the elevator widened his eyes.

"How are you here!"

"You live upstairs?"

They spoke at the same time.

Bai Yu: "I'm here to pick up a few scenes and there's a premiere."

Tushan Jiu walked in, "Oh, I came to collect the Jiang family's debt."

Bai Yu puzzled: "Jiang family? Jiang Han's family?"

"Jiang Han? Jiang Shu's sister?" Tushan Jiu knew the Jiang family had two daughters; the eldest was Jiang Shu, she hadn't figured out who the second was, but after Bai Yu said that, she was sure this Jiang Han was the second.

"Yes, Jiang Han's older sister is called Jiang Shu; she's a sis-con, always telling us how much her sister pampers her, though her sister is indeed nice—whenever she comes to visit the set, she buys snacks for everyone."

Tushan Jiu felt the name Jiang Han was quite familiar; after thinking, she finally remembered who it was.

It was the female lead of that movie she saw on her phone while scrolling in Xie Shiyu's office that day.

In her mind, the image of Bai Yu's fox-like appearance from that time surfaced; Tushan Jiu glanced at Bai Yu, not hiding her disdain.

They are about the same age.

Both brought investment to join the production, but Jiang Han genuinely has acting skill.

Because she graduated from Nan Cheng Drama Academy, she has both looks and acting chops, and is currently a rising starlet.

She glanced back at Bai Yu.

Tsk tsk, aside from having a fox-spirit-like face, his acting is really just average.

Especially that evil charming smile—sorry, she's really not the audience for it.

Bai Yu caught Tushan Jiu's gaze and opened his mouth to ask.

But after just a second, he quickly forced himself to shut his mouth.

He pinched his own lips, thinking, "Can't ask, shouldn't be curious, definitely nothing good," and held back.

Little did he know, although he didn't ask, he couldn't stand Tushan Jiu's straightforwardness; fearing he'd misunderstand, she explained, "I don't dislike you as a person—I just compared your acting with Jiang Han's earlier, and I dislike your acting."

Bai Yu: "......"

See, he knew!

Bai Yu relaxed his lips and didn't retort; after all, he knows his limits—Jiang Han is indeed professional.

Jiang Han and Bai Yu are longtime partners, and in private they're also good friends.

Lately they've even been hyping their CP, and the male and female leads of this upcoming premiere are exactly the two of them.

He's setting out now to go to the premiere site for the rehearsal process, preparing in advance for tomorrow's premiere.

Just now they had messaged each other; she had already left for the site, so he slowly went downstairs.

But he was still curious—who exactly from the Jiang family owed Tushan Jiu a knife? So he asked, "Was it Jiang Han's father who owed it?"

Tushan Jiu shook her head: "It's Jiang Shu."

Bai Yu: "Jiang Shu?"

Tushan Jiu nodded, then suddenly said, "You probably won't get to see your female lead today."

"Ding—"

"Ding—"

The first sound was the elevator arriving at the floor.

The second sound was Bai Yu's phone receiving a message.

Bai Yu didn't even look at his phone; he knew it was definitely a notice that Jiang Han couldn't attend the rehearsal.

He was a bit worried, so he pressed Tushan Jiu for details.

Tushan Jiu didn't hide it either, saying this would likely be in the news tomorrow.

Because whether it's Jiang Han, the Jiang family, or even the Huo family, their influence is not small!

You said Jiang Shu's husband abused her, and then her former bodyguard, who is also her husband's current bodyguard, was going to beat her husband until he was crippled?

Bai Yu's surprised voice was a bit loud, causing everyone in the hotel lobby to look over here.

Realizing he might be exposed, he quickly lowered the brim of his baseball cap.

Tushan Jiu really wanted to go up and give him a flick on the forehead.

What's your position? Don't you even know it yourself?

Making a scene in public, you're just afraid fans won't recognize him, right?

Tushan Jiu quickened her pace, and Bai Yu caught up, chasing while saying to Tushan Jiu: "I also want to go; can you bring me along? I'm a bit worried about Jiang Han, and her older sister is also very nice—I want to go see if I can help."

He knew Tushan Jiu was just going to collect a debt, and whether she dealt with other matters depended on her mood.

Tushan Jiu didn't care, saying: "If you want to go, just go; but since the male lead and female lead aren't going, what are you going to do about your event?"

"It's fine, just a rehearsal; I'll go later to familiarize myself with the process. The premiere is tomorrow—are you going? If not, I'll take you to see the premiere then."

"We'll decide later, depending on whether I feel like moving."

"Sure, I'll ask you before I leave tomorrow."

Tushan Jiu nodded, saying: "Let's take my car; I'm already waiting at the door."

Bai Yu responded with an acknowledgement, lowered his head, and sent a message to his agent, asking her to give him leave and to go through the procedures later.

His agent didn't say anything either, since she had also received word that Jiang Han had something come up last minute and couldn't attend, and the rehearsal had some male-female lead interaction issues that required both to complete; without the female lead, they couldn't finish the rehearsal.

So, Bai Yu followed Tushan Jiu into the car, and they set off for the Huo family's residence.

"Exactly, that's right—it's not the Jiang family, but the home of Jiang Shu's husband, Huo Chusen."
