Xiong Xiaoman's eyes were fixed on the luxurious villa. However, Ye Wanqing's figure had already disappeared without a trace, as if she was isolated in another world by an invisible barrier.

She was unwilling to give up, so she pressed the doorbell again. The crisp ringtone echoed in the empty courtyard, but failed to elicit any response from Ye Wanqing.

Xiong Xiaoman stood there helplessly for a moment, and finally could only turn around and leave slowly with a heart full of doubts and unwillingness.

The moment she turned around, a dazzling metallic luster caught her eye - it was a Bentley sedan parked diagonally in front of her not far away.

In this high-end villa area, there are many luxury cars, but the license plate number of the Bentley was like a flash of lightning, instantly striking Xiong Xiaoman's memory.

That was Lin Xuan's license plate number. She had seen it at a banquet at the Lin family. It was deeply engraved in her memory, like a brand that could not be erased.

At this moment, this license plate number was like an ominous omen, causing Xiong Xiaoman to feel an inexplicable chill in her heart.

She tried to convince herself that it was just a coincidence, that someone might have borrowed Lin Xuan's car, but the fear in her heart grew like a weed, unstoppable.

Xiong Xiaoman gritted her teeth and forced herself to move forward, trying to escape from this uneasy place. However, after a few steps, her steps stopped involuntarily.

From a distance of four or five meters, she clearly saw the familiar figure in the car window - Lin Xuan.

He was smoking leisurely, his deep black eyes like cold swords, piercing through the car window, staring at her coldly, as if to pierce through her.

At that moment, Xiong Xiaoman's heart sank completely. She finally confirmed that the person sitting in the Bentley was Lin Xuan.

Recalling the conversation with Zhang Yun a few days ago, Xiong Xiaoman felt an unprecedented despair.

She once thought that Lin Xuan and Ye Wanqing's divorce was a farce. The Lin family hated Ye Wanqing to the core, and she and Ye Wanqing had long been irreconcilable enemies.

But now, Lin Xuan appeared here, and she had just offended Ye Wanqing.

She finally understood why her uncle no longer supported her. It turned out that Li Chenfeng and Lin Xuan had such a close relationship. How could Li Chenfeng stand up for someone as insignificant as her at the mere word of Lin Xuan?

Xiong Xiaoman's thoughts were like a tangled mess, becoming increasingly entangled, and sweat had already quietly soaked her clothes. It wasn't until a car behind her honked impatiently that she seemed to wake up from her dream and hurriedly retreated to the side of the road to avoid a possible collision.

At the same time, in a Bentley not far away, Lin Xuan slowly put out the cigarette in his hand, gently closed the window, started the engine, and the car slowly drove away.

Lin Xuan himself couldn't explain why he appeared here.

Last night, a post Qin Huai made on WeChat Moments caught his attention.

Qin Huai mentioned that he had successfully signed the copyright of Ye Wanqing's new book, but with a condition - to ban an actress named Xiong Xiaoman.

Lin Xuan has always stayed out of such disputes within the industry.

He was just browsing casually, and with a light swipe of his finger across the screen, he was about to skip the message.

However, when the name "Jiang Yubo" caught his eye, his movements paused involuntarily.

Qin Huai revealed in the message that the reason why Ye Wanqing proposed to ban Xiong Xiaoman was because Xiong Xiaoman had been making small moves behind Jiang Yubo for the past six months, trying to destroy Jiang Yubo's career.

Lin Xuan was not surprised by this, nor did he care why Ye Wanqing reached such an agreement with Qin Huai, nor did he care why she wanted to ban Xiong Xiaoman.

To him, these grudges and hatreds are just normal in the entertainment industry.

However, he was confused as to why he had come here. He didn't really care about the disturbances, but he just didn't understand why he had such an impulse.

Recalling the scene just now, when Ye Wanqing walked out of the villa, he had already arrived quietly.

He hid in the dark, silently observing the woman named Xiong Xiaoman begging humbly in front of Ye Wanqing. At that moment, he suddenly felt sober, as if he had walked out of a fog.

He sighed inwardly, what the hell, he actually came here.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of confusion, and then drove away from this confusing place.

When Ye Wanqing returned to the villa, she went straight to the bedroom and fell headfirst onto the bed. The tranquility of her nap soon surrounded her.

Her heart was as calm as a lake, without a single ripple in response to Xiong Xiaoman's previous pleas.

As for Lin Xuan's appearance, she was completely unaware of it, as if it was just an episode that had nothing to do with her.

In this circle, everyone has their own stories and secrets, and Lin Xuan's appearance is just a small part of it.

Since that day, Xiong Xiaoman's name has never appeared in Ye Wanqing's world again, and Xiong Xiaoman seems to have disappeared from the entertainment industry.

In the blink of an eye, the end of October came quietly, and the capital city welcomed a long-awaited rain, pouring down and washing away the dust in the city.

When Xu Xiuwei drove to the downstairs of Jiang Yubo's apartment, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring an umbrella.

He cursed helplessly, pushed the door open, plunged into the pouring rain, and ran towards the apartment corridor.

Although he ran very fast, the rain still mercilessly wet his clothes, sticking to his skin and bringing waves of coolness.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he couldn't help but sneeze several times, obviously he was frozen by the rain.

When he arrived at Jiang Yubo's door, he knocked for a long time before the door slowly opened, revealing Jiang Yubo's slightly tired face.

"The documents you asked for." Xu Xiuwei handed the file bag in his hand to Jiang Yubo without any greeting.

Jiang Yubo took the file bag, took a quick look at it, and prepared to close the door.

Xu Xiuwei was quick-witted and blocked the door with his hand just as it was about to close.

"I'm delivering something to you in the pouring rain, and you're just going to leave me standing at the door? You won't even invite me in to have a cup of hot water to warm myself up?"

Jiang Yubo was slightly startled, then he let go of the door handle and turned to walk towards the living room:

"Drink and leave."

He sat on the sofa, opened the file bag and began to read it.

Xu Xiuwei stood at the door, shook off the rain on his body, then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Yubo.

Xu Xiuwei poured himself a cup of hot tea and sat next to Jiang Yubo. His eyes occasionally glanced at the information in Jiang Yubo's hand, with a playful smile on his face.

"Ye Wanqing is really good to you. Not only is she the chairman of Yuehua Group, she is also the popular novelist 'Starry Sea'.

Do you know how much the copyright of her novels adapted into film and television works can be sold for?

For her previous work, Mr. Zhao from Morning Star Films gave her a base price of six million, plus a 5% commission. Even without that commission, her book could easily fetch tens of millions in copyright fees.

"That guy Qin Huai has extended an olive branch to her many times, but she has always declined. But this time, for you, she took the initiative to find Qin Huai and signed the copyright of her new book to him, just to help you solve the problem with Xiong Xiaoman."

Xu Xiuwei became more and more excited as he spoke, and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand. He put the cup down and patted Jiang Yubo's shoulder vigorously:

"Honestly, are you and Ye Wanqing really just ordinary friends?"

Before Jiang Yubo finished reading the information in his hand, Xu Xiuwei had already talked a lot.

He reluctantly put down the document and threw it on the coffee table, with a hint of mockery in his eyes:

"So what do you think is the relationship between us?"

Xu Xiuwei chuckled and moved closer:

"I've also inquired privately, and Ye Wanqing is indeed quite good. During her six years of marriage to Lin Xuan, even Mrs. Lin praised her highly! What kind of person is Mrs. Lin? To be recognized by her, Ye Wanqing is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"Although she's a second marriage, you've never cared about it. If you really have feelings for her, your grandfather won't be able to do anything to you."

Xu Xiuwei touched his chin and added, "However, if you don't plan to return to the Jiang family, your grandfather will probably be furious."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had discovered some new world: "Hasn't your mother always been at odds with Mrs. Lin? Now that Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan are divorced, maybe your mother will stand on your side!"

Jiang Yubo frowned upon hearing this, and finally couldn't help but interrupt him:

"Have you had enough water?"

Xu Xiuwei was stunned for a moment, then reacted with an innocent look on his face:

"You're not going to kick me out now, are you?"

Jiang Yubo did not give a direct answer, but just glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye, and his meaning was obvious.

Xu Xiuwei was suddenly speechless: "..."

This guy’s temper!
