Shi Xiu lost a whole 15 pounds by the time ‘4:30 P.M.’ had finished filming! Her face—originally a little chubby with baby fat—had turned into a petite

V-shaped face. Her personality had also undergone some changes—she was calmer nowadays than before. Like many new actors who’d taken part in their first movie, she was deeply immersed in her role and had difficulty completely separating herself from her character. Yun Nan and Mika were very experienced and carried out systematic psychotherapy on Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu cried her eyes out at the film’s completion party and expressed her gratitude to every cast and crew member for helping and taking care of her. Shi

Nian had flowers and gifts sent to each and every person on the production team. Shi Xiu took the lead in teasing Yun Nan and singing praises to her brother, and Yun Nan generously accepted everyone’s blessings.

It was only then that Fang Xi told everyone about the rumors that had been going on outside in the recent period. Everyone was furious, and Shi Xiu was boiling mad.

Fang Xi analyzed the pros and cons for everyone and taught them how to subsequently deal with the matter and how to protect themselves and the movie they produced together.

“The cost of creating rumors is too low!” Shi Xiu fumed indignantly. “These rumor-mongers had probably never met anyone who took their actions to heart! I say it’s high time they opened their eyes and learned the power of the law!”

She turned to Fang Xi and stated, “Fang Xi, send me a copy of every piece of evidence you’ve collected! You guys may not have the time, but I do! I’ll hire a lavvyer, and we’ll sue the perpetrators into bankruptcy! Sue them until they regret ever being born!”

Everyone was immediately on board with Shi Xiu’s idea. “Then we’ll leave this to you, Shi Xiu. Make sure not to let them off easily!”

Fang Xi gazed at Yun Nan and whispered, “See, what did I say? Didn’t I tell you she’s not one to be taken lightly?”

Yun Nan gave her a wry smile. Subconsciously, Yun Nan didn’t want to have too much to do with the Shi family. After all, she and Shi Nian had a five-year agreement. They’ll go their separate ways after the five years are up, so the less interaction they have, the simpler it will be.

However, things changed. She hadn’t expected everyone in the Shi family to treat her so well without knowing the agreement. They loved and treated her like a real family member. Shi Xiu also did her best to unquestioningly treat Yun Nan—her second sister-in-law—well.

Shi Nian came to fetch them home for dinner. Shi Xiu hadn’t been home for two months, and Shi Nian’s home-cooked dinners had stopped long ago. After all, these two ladies tend to forget everything else when they get into their work.

As soon as they got into the car, Shi Xiu said to Shi Nian, “Shi Nian, I need to borrow your best legal advisor!”

Shi Nian frowned and looked at his sister sitting in the back seat. “What trouble did you get yourself into now?” he asked.

Shi Xiu smacked Shi Nian’s seat from the back and cried, “Hey! I didn’t get myself into any trouble at all! People are bullying me and Yun Nan! I have to use legal means to protect us!”

Shi Nian glanced at Yun Nan, who was sitting at the side, and softly inquired, “She only found out about it today?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yun Nan nodded and replied, “Yes. I was afraid it would affect her emotions.”

Shi Nian inclined his head and then raised his voice to say to Shi Xiu, “Do you need anyone else aside from the legal advisor? Say, the security chief, perhaps.”

Shi Xiu frowned in thought and then promptly smiled. “Sure! Why not?” she agreed.

Yun Nan was puzzled and turned to Shi Xiu behind her with the question,

“Don’t worry, Yun Nan,” Shi Xiu said with a smile. “I’m a weak little girl who is no good at fighting or arguing, so of course, I need a few security guards to follow me around and protect me!”

Yun Nan looked at Shi Nian in confusion. “Did you not assign her bodyguards?”

Shi Nian chuckled, “She probably wants a team of guards to bully others into submission. It’s fine; my staff are all reliable. Let her have her fun. She should relax and enjoy herself after being locked up for so long.”

Shi Xiu cleared her throat and uttered, “Shi Nian, I’m the lead actress of the movie Fang Xi will start promoting soon. I can’t have any negative news about me. Otherwise, our entire production crew’s hard work could be ruined! So I definitely won’t be bullying anyone. I need to maintain my ladylike image.” As she spoke, Shi Xiu corrected her posture and straightened her back. Yun Nan laughed and commented, “Are you tired?”

Shi Xiu immediately collapsed and giggled, “It is quite tiring.”

Yun Nan advised her, “There’s no need to put on a facade; you’ll die of exhaustion if you do. Just relax and be yourself. We’ll keep your identity a secret in the early stages of our promotion work to maintain a sense of mystery and only announce you to the public when the movie is released. When that time comes, you will have a lot of strenuous work. You’ll need to go on a roadshow with the production team.”

Shi Xiu was very excited to hear that and eagerly assured Yun Nan, “It’s not a chore to me at all. In fact, I’m looking forward to it. Now, I’m going to deal with those rumor-mongers that are causing trouble for us. I have to teach them a

lesson and make them learn the code of ethics!” As she finished speaking, Shi Xiu looked proud of herself for upholding justice.

“The police rescued Gao Bei,” Shi Nian murmured. Yun Nan and Shi Xiu were both stunned at the news..
