A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

Shi Yanxia originally wanted to refuse Zhan Jinglin's offer to blow-dry her hair, but the man's attitude was very firm, so she didn't refuse coyly. She felt the man's slender fingertips gently teasing her hair.

With his movements, his hair was dried one strand at a time.

After a while, Zhan Jinglin finished and put the hair dryer away.

"Is that TV series wrapping up filming tomorrow?" Shi Yanxia asked.

Bai Nuannuan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we made a final revision to the script. There are only a few more scenes to film tomorrow, mainly focusing on Gu Yubai."

"He was injured and hospitalized a couple of days ago, so his scenes were postponed. Tomorrow is all group scenes, and filming will wrap up after that," Bai Nuannuan said.

She was very excited and found the filming of this movie very challenging.

Not only in terms of costumes, but also in terms of individual acting, it is a completely new experience for the four of them. The different style from the past has improved their acting skills.

The director was very demanding, which is why they really enjoyed filming.

“After filming, take a few days off. I’ll take over a variety show, and the four of you can go and have some fun on it, consider it a break,” Shi Yanxia said.

Since the last time they recorded the variety show, all four of them have tacitly agreed to stay with her "Mystic Entertainment". As a result, Shi Yanxia decides on their roles, and they have no objections to their pay or anything else.

"Where are you going to film the variety show? Have you given any hints?" Bai Nuannuan asked, somewhat surprised.

Shi Yanxia isn't usually in a rush, yet she brought forward her variety show appearance, as if she were in a hurry.

“Near that mountain village before,” Shi Yanxia said.

Upon hearing "that mountain village before," Bai Nuannuan immediately stood up from the sofa, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Is it near the mountain village where you met the old man?"

“Mmm,” Shi Yanxia replied softly.

Bai Nuannuan kept swallowing, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"I didn't expect to have another chance to go back. The things from before haven't ended yet, have they? And this time the variety show is scheduled to be filmed there again. I feel like this is not a simple matter."

"Who's the investor behind this? Could they have some connection with Shen Lianchu? Brother, investigate him." Bai Nuannuan was very perceptive.

She immediately sensed that something was wrong.

“It’s already been investigated,” Zhan Jinglin said.

He gestured for Shi Yanxia to scroll down, and she followed his instructions. She found another document that presented some details, and said, "The people behind this variety show are the Cheng family from before."

"The Cheng family has always been low-key, but this time they've invested heavily in a variety show and invited several of you to go together. For this reason, I had Gu Qing investigate the projects they've been involved in recently."

"Unexpectedly, it was discovered that three years ago, the Shen family gave him a large project, which enabled the Cheng family to thrive. Logically speaking, the Shen family wouldn't give up such a large project to an outsider."

"But this project actually ended up in the hands of the Cheng family. If the Shen family hadn't given it up back then, perhaps the Shen family would have turned things around by now. But the Shen family has never mentioned this, and if you don't investigate carefully, you won't even know that this project was once given up by the Shen family," Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia and Bai Nuannuan exchanged glances, both of them startled.

"The Shen family is so kind? Besides, wasn't it the year Shen Ming went abroad three years ago? At that time, the Shen family was fully handed over to Shen Zhinan. So, was this project a gift from Shen Ming when he left, or from Shen Zhinan?" Bai Nuannuan immediately grasped the key point.

When the Shen family was mentioned, she immediately became clever.

She may seem naive and innocent most of the time, but in crucial moments, her mind immediately becomes clear.

"This project should have been completed under Shen Ming's supervision; otherwise, given Shen Zhinan's personality, she would definitely have pursued it to the end. But Shen Zhinan ultimately remained silent."

"I had Gu Qing investigate, and they found that Shen Zhinan did have private contact with the Cheng family, but there was no further news about her afterward."

"It's possible that the Cheng family has some private dealings with Shen Zhinan, but Shen Zhinan has always been clinging to the Qin family, leading us to believe that he wants to curry favor with them. In fact, the Cheng family might be his fallback plan."

After Zhan Jinglin finished speaking, Bai Nuannuan slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"So, Shen Zhinan's efforts to please Qin Jiali and get close to the Qin family were all an act, and he actually had a hidden agenda? Then why was he always in such a sorry state, just pretending?" Bai Nuannuan was furious.

I thought Shen Zhinan was indeed pitiful, but I didn't expect that others had a backup plan.

"Is the Cheng family on the list of wealthy families that were previously diagnosed with the disease?" Shi Yanxia asked.

She didn't care whether Shen Zhinan had any backup plans; she was more concerned about whether the head of the Cheng family had also been seriously ill, given that so many members of the wealthy families had fallen ill before.

"I was indeed seriously ill and even received treatment at the Leng family's hospital," Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia's lips curled into a smile, and she said with a sneer, "Now that many people have gone home, they seem to want to distance themselves from us, but they find that they have been poisoned again soon after returning home."

"Check if the Cheng family has been poisoned," Shi Yanxia said.

Zhan Jinglin sat down opposite her, peeled an orange for her, and said, "Never heard of it."

"This time, the Cheng family came to the hospital to cause trouble, wanting Leng Zhiming to treat them again. Since being discharged, the Cheng family has returned to a low profile and no longer associates with other wealthy families," Zhan Jinglin said.

Shi Yanxia's beautiful fingertips gently tapped the sofa armrest.

The bedroom fell silent again; no one spoke, and everyone seemed lost in thought.

“Interesting,” Shi Yanxia said with a sneer.

Bai Nuannuan was filled with unease. She kept swallowing and winked at Shi Yanxia, ​​asking, "So the Cheng family really does have problems, and Shen Zhinan might be faking it?"

"Damn it, why don't they go into the entertainment industry and act? What a bunch of trash!" Bai Nuannuan was furious.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could go out and start a fight right now.

She has a fiery personality; although she appears gentle and kind, she's actually quite a feisty person.

"Don't be impulsive. Isn't this more interesting? We have everything under control, from Shen Lianchu's tricks to her backup plans. We can just watch her play the game."

"I'll sign you guys up for that variety show tomorrow, then you can all go and have fun," Shi Yanxia said.

Bai Nuannuan listened, and was about to get up and leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned back.

"Hey, where's that little thing? Why haven't we seen it come out? Should we take it with us when we go back? That giant python is still in the village. It's been out for so long, I wonder if it misses home. If we take it back, it can go back and see that giant python," Bai Nuannuan said.

After all, when they were filming a variety show in the mountain village, the giant python was indeed quite frightening, but it also helped them.
