So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

Xie Junfei chuckled dryly, took two steps back, shoved the luggage into Lu Wanzhou's hands, and was about to turn and run away when Fifth Brother grabbed him and pulled him into his arms.

The movie that Qiao Lao is about to start filming is a gay-themed movie, in which Fifth Brother plays a charming and seductive bartender.

He even grew his hair long for a long time for this movie, and with those deep, affectionate eyes that look at dogs, he looked so handsome that everyone would love him.

But Xie Junfei is not human, he is a fox.

So she remained unmoved, grabbed the braid hanging over Fifth Brother's shoulder, and took advantage of his distraction to turn around and run away.

But experience counts, and as soon as she escaped from her brother, she bumped into the arms of a tall man.

The man reacted quickly, grabbing her by the collar of her coat and shoving her into the van beside him.

The whole thing was so smooth and quick that many people at the scene didn't even have time to react before Xie Junfei was locked inside the car.

When Lu Wanzhou saw that her manager was locked up, she immediately ran over to open the car door and tried to rescue her.

But he was stopped by Fifth Brother after taking only two steps forward.

The long-haired man had a pair of charming eyes that smiled gently, but his eyes held an undeniable strength.

"My younger sister is young and doesn't know any better, she's caused trouble for everyone."

"This is a family matter now, so we don't need to trouble you. We'll handle it ourselves."

After saying that, the man standing next to Fifth Brother spoke calmly:

"This is Ms. Lu's first time participating in a film shoot. She may not know that once filming begins, the crew is burning through money every second."

"Director Wen has been waiting for Miss Lu on set for a long time. Miss Lu, please remember to arrive early."

Lu Wanzhou could hear the threat in the man's tone.

But she gritted her teeth and was about to step forward to defend Xie Junfei when the special notification sound she had set for Xie Junfei on her phone rang.

It was a message from Xie Junfei:

[Leave me alone, I'm going to the film set.]

Winning an Best Actress award for your film would be the biggest boost for me; don't let a small gain cause you to lose something bigger.

She glanced down at the message, then looked up at the indifferent-looking man, gritted her teeth, and finally could only obediently turn and leave with her assistant who was waiting on the side.

Five minutes later, the other car door was opened, and the man who had been standing next to Fifth Brother sat down next to her.

The man still exuded a chilling aura, and his voice was deep:

“Your brother has some things to do on set, so I’m asking him to take you to the airport.”

"Miss Xie, I've heard so much about you."

Xie Junfei had lost her earlier liveliness and playfulness; her clear, almond-shaped eyes looked at the man before her.

"I am just an unknown junior, and it is my great honor to be favored by Mr. Duan."

"However, I have urgent business to attend to, and I hope you will be lenient and let me off the hook."

Upon hearing this, the man raised an eyebrow, showing a rare hint of interest:

"you know me?"

Xie Junfei nodded.

She did recognize the man in front of her.

Duan Bingqian, the powerful head of the wealthy Duan family.

If Huo Shen was a noble young master from a prestigious family with a long history of learning, then the man in front of him was a self-made millionaire.

Unlike Huo Shen, who has an impressive resume and is the heir to a wealthy family.

The man in front of me, named Duan Bingqian, did not come from a respectable background. His father was a gambling addict and his mother was mentally ill.

After graduating from junior high school, Duan Bingqian worked at a local underground casino.

After his parents passed away, he saved up his first pot of gold and then opened a small factory producing oil extraction equipment with a friend he knew.

Over the course of fifteen years, he continuously expanded his business empire by leveraging his brother's local connections and his own business acumen.

To date, most of the mining and exploration machinery used in the three northeastern provinces has been manufactured by companies under Duan Bingqian's control.

Because of the special nature of the Huo family's business, Duan Bingqian and Huo Shen had known each other for a long time. In addition to their cooperation, the two also had a close personal relationship.

Huo Shen had also mentioned Duan Bingqian to Xie Junfei, saying that although he came from a poor background, his character was impeccable.

But that's not the most important thing.

Looking at the composed and low-key Duan Bingqian in front of him, and recalling the way he looked at his fifth brother just now, Xie Junfei slowly narrowed his eyes.

Most importantly, Huo Shen said the following at the time:

"The thing I admire most about Duan Bingqian is how much he dotes on his wife."

"It's just that his wife is a little different from that of a normal couple."

Looking back now, isn't that why we're different from normal couples?

Duan Bingqian had held a high position for many years and came from a humble background. Although Xie Junfei was witty and quick-witted, he was still no match for an old fox like Duan Bingqian.

He immediately saw what Xie Junfei was thinking and nodded to her:

"No wonder Huo Shen has his eye on her, you guessed right."

"I'm with your brother now."

Well, well, no wonder this "coal boss" whose businesses have absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry inexplicably invested in Old Qiao's art film, which doesn't seem like it would make any money.

So it was Fifth Brother whispering in her ear.

But it's the 21st century now, and she's too lazy to dwell on Fifth Brother's sexual orientation, so she cuts straight to the point:

"Since you're with my fifth brother, then you're one of us."

"Fifth Sister-in-law, I really have important business to attend to and need to see Huo Shen. Could you please let me off the hook? In return, I'll be a flower girl at your wedding, okay?"

"If I don't go to Huo Shen, and he fails and is forced to marry someone he doesn't like, then he'll be completely finished."

Upon hearing this, Duan Bingqian smiled, a rare occurrence. He looked Xie Junfei up and down, and then changed his tune to match her words:

"Little sister, it's not that I don't want to release him, it's just that 'a wife's command is hard to disobey'."

“If your brother finds out that I embezzled and let you escape, he’ll punish me according to family rules.”

"Moreover, little sister, the internal strife within the Huo family mansion is more intense than you can imagine."

"Your brother and Huo Shen don't want you to go, and it's for your own good."

"The best thing you can do for him right now is to go back to the capital and stay safely under your brother's protection until he comes home."

Hearing this, Xie Junfei's eyes widened, she met Duan Bingqian's gaze for two seconds, and then suddenly smiled:

"Duan Bingqian, do you all think I'm just a pretty, slightly clever, fragile vase?"

Seeing Duan Bingqian's noncommittal expression, the girl's eyes crinkled into a smile:

"You are wrong."

“I started working for the Qin family when I was fifteen, and I’ve seen just as much despicable and shady dealings as you have.”

"I don't want to be a little princess who is pampered and protected by everyone."

"Huo Shen and I are in love. Now he is seeking justice for himself and for me in the Huo family. As his wife, since I have the ability, I will definitely choose to fight alongside him."

“I have enough leverage to threaten the Huo family elders.”

After saying that, she turned the Maybach car keys in front of Duan Bingqian, smiling triumphantly:

"So, whether you agree or not, I'm going to find him."

Upon seeing what the girl was holding, Duan Bingqian immediately touched his coat pocket, a rare look of disbelief in his eyes:

When did you take my keys?

Before he could react, Xie Junfei swiftly unlocked the car door, dodged Duan Bingqian's outstretched hand like a fish, kicked the slowly opening car door, and got out of the car in a flash.

Immediately afterwards, the black car parked next to the Maybach popped open its back door, and after Xie Junfei got in, it sped away!

In just a few dozen seconds, Xie Junfei slipped away right under Duan Bingqian's nose.
