Chapter 28: A Lecture; A Call from a Childhood Friend

Du Ruoxi straightened her back a little more. "Yes, I was the one who did something wrong first, so my cousin did that. She was just too angry. It's all my fault."

Now that things had come to this, Du Ruoxi knew she couldn't hide it from the old lady any longer, so she told the truth directly.

And he readily admitted his mistake.

She thought that after doing all that, even if the old lady was protective of Shen Baisu, she wouldn't blame her too much. But to her surprise, the old lady's expression didn't change at all after hearing her words.

"You know you're wrong? I don't see any indication that you're wrong."

"Since you already know you're wrong, why did you still complain to your uncle?"

"You took Su Su's fruit first, so Su Su punished you. You two are even now. Why did you tell Shen Mao?"

"It's just because you were not convinced that Su Su punished you."

"Would you be happy if Su Su really got beaten up by Shen Mao today and kicked out of the house?"

"No, I didn't think that way." Du Ruoxi trembled slightly upon hearing the old lady's words. "It was my fault."

Of all the people in the Shen family, Du Ruoxi was most afraid of the old lady.

The old lady lived in the Shen family's old house for many years, so Du Ruoxi almost never went to the old house and always came to the Shen family manor.

Unexpectedly, even though she had been avoiding the old lady so much, she still bumped into her here.

If she had known that Shen Baisu would call the old lady, she would never have complained to Shen Mao.

She would rather suffer a loss and never touch Shen Baisu's fruit tree again than see the old lady.

"What's the point of you apologizing to me? Did you pick fruit from my tree? Apologize to Su Su!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu glanced at the old lady in surprise.

Did Grandma find out?
Du Ruoxi, who was being reprimanded, stiffened. She pursed her lips and turned to look at Shen Baisu, speaking as if a knife was held to her throat, "Cousin, I'm...I'm sorry."

Shen Baisu simply responded with a faint "oh".

Du Ruoxi's face turned very ugly upon seeing this.

She already apologized, so what kind of attitude is Shen Baisu?

They probably did it on purpose to embarrass her.

"Your apology is not sincere at all, it's better not to say it at all. I think your admission of wrongdoing is just lip service."

"Forget it, you can go now. Don't stand here and get in the way."

The old lady started chasing people away.

Du Ruoxi's face turned pale and then flushed, and she mumbled, "Then I'll go down first."

Then, with red eyes, she left as if fleeing.

Seeing her looking so aggrieved, the old lady snorted, "Feeling aggrieved? What does she have to feel aggrieved about? Su Su is the one who should feel aggrieved."

"How did Shen Meng raise her daughter? She raised such a wretch."

Shen Baisu pulled the old lady and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm not angry anymore, so you shouldn't be angry either. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately composed herself and patted Shen Baisu's hand, saying, "My Susu still cares about me the most."

Shen Baisu picked up a red jujube and handed it to the old lady, "Grandma, here, have another one. This is very good for your health. It can strengthen your body and prolong your life."

"From now on, Grandma will eat three every day."

The old lady took it, and when she heard Shen Baisu say three a day, she immediately became distressed, "Three a day? No, no, Grandma's teeth can't handle it."

Shen Baisu: "Grandma, just eat it without worry. This fruit is good for whitening and strengthening teeth."

When the old lady heard Shen Baisu's words, she thought she was just making things up.

What fruit can be so good for your health, prolong your life, and even improve your teeth?
However, although she didn't believe it, she couldn't help being happy, and she ate the fruit with a smile, saying, "Grandma listens to Su Su."

Shen Mingyu also thought Shen Baisu was making things up. In the past, he would have exposed her, but he didn't dare to in front of the old lady. Also, he was eyeing the fruit in the fruit basket.

He wants to eat.

So Shen Mingyu sat down beside him and began to rack his brains, thinking about what method he could use to taste the fruit.

Or, he could pretend to doze off, and while nodding, take a bite of the fruit in the basket?

Wouldn't that be a bit silly?

Moreover, the fruit basket has handles, which seem a bit difficult to handle.

Or perhaps we should pretend we don't know it's called the Red Beauty Fruit and ask, "What kind of fruit is this?"

Then, let's express our desire to try it.

But wouldn't that seem a bit deliberate?

If only the power suddenly went out right now, he could figure things out in the dark...

Thinking of this, Shen Mingyu suddenly put aside all his thoughts, because a hand handed him a red beauty fruit.

Shen Mingyu followed the hand upwards and saw Shen Baisu. At that moment, Shen Baisu was like a ray of light, illuminating Shen Mingyu's eyes.

Meeting Shen Mingyu's bright eyes, Shen Baisu leaned forward and whispered mysteriously, "Want one? Five hundred each."

Shen Mingyu: "..."

Very well, in just a moment, the light on Shen Baisu disappeared, but a pair of demonic tentacles grew on her head.

Upon seeing this, the old lady, disregarding the fact that she was still munching on fruit, immediately said with disdain, "Why give it to him? He didn't even help stop you when you were being hit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu made a gesture as if to retract his words.

Upon seeing this, Shen Mingyu immediately reached out and snatched it away. He forced a smile and gritted his teeth, then mouthed to Shen Baisu, "Deal."

After snatching one, he swiftly grabbed three more from the basket like a robber and held them in his arms, saying, "I want three."

The siblings were talking very softly, so the old lady didn't hear them. When she saw Shen Mingyu take four at once, she got angry and started cursing, "You're carrying four at once! You'll eat yourself to death!"

Shen Baisu added fuel to the fire, "That's right, that's right, these are for Grandma, how could you take four of them at once?"

Shen Mingyu: "..."

Do you still want the money?

Shen Mingyu glared at Shen Baisu secretly, then quickly got up and ran out, saying, "Grandma, I have something to do, I'm leaving now, you guys chat."

“Shen Baisu still has some of that fruit, you can ask her for more.”

After saying that, he ran off in a flash and disappeared, leaving the old lady still cursing behind him.

**
That night, the old lady spent the night at the Shen family manor. Shen Baisu and Su Qing kept her company and chatted until almost nine o'clock before returning to their room.

As soon as Shen Baisu returned to her room, she received a phone call.

After glancing at the caller ID, Shen Baisu pressed the answer button with a puzzled look.

"Sister Su, this is amazing! I've met an incredibly handsome man, my chosen one, Jiu Yan!" An excited voice rang out as soon as the call connected.

He was so excited that he spoke very loudly.

Shen Baisu silently moved her phone further away.

The person opposite her was Yu Lan, her childhood friend.

Yu Lan is a third-generation military family member. As soon as he came of age, his family wanted him to join the army, but he insisted on becoming a screenwriter and was kicked out of the house.

Yu Lan has written many screenplays, but none of them have been adapted into TV series. Either no one wanted to adapt them, or he was unwilling to let others adapt them. When he was extremely short of money, he adapted his screenplays into online novels and released them, which became an instant hit.

The character Jiu Yan he mentioned is the most popular character in one of his fantasy novels. Because he couldn't find anyone to play Jiu Yan, he turned down many collaborations.

It seems he has found Jiu Yan.

However, Yu Lan and Shen Qi had a falling out two years ago, so why did she suddenly take the initiative to contact her today?
So happy because they found someone who can play the role of Jiu Yan?

"Sister Su, help me! I'm just one step away from getting Jiu Yan filmed, you have to help me." Just as Shen Baisu was wondering, Yu Lan spoke up.

"I've already contacted the director and actors; now all I need is an investor."

"..."

Very well, now Shen Baisu finally understands why Yu Lan put aside her grudges and called her; it turns out he was looking for an ATM.

"Goodbye," Shen Baisu said, about to hang up the phone.

Yu Lan immediately spoke up to stop her, "No, don't hang up! It's not like you have to pay for everything. I've calculated it; I can contribute part of the 8000 million investment myself."

"Now, I'm just 7999 million short."

Shen Baisu: "..."

So you can only offer 10,000?
"Get lost, I have no money."

This time, Shen Baisu hung up the phone without hesitation, not giving the other party a chance to speak at all.

However, as soon as she hung up the phone, a WeChat message notification sounded.

Although it requires a large investment from you, if the show becomes a hit, you'll earn a lot too.

If all else fails, can I borrow it?

[Sister Su? Sister Su?]

Faced with the endless barrage of messages, Shen Baisu chose to simply block the other party.

She opened the chat window and saw that Yu Lan had sent another message.

Look at Jiu Yan's photos! With that face and that charisma, how could he not be popular?

Shen Baisu glanced at it quickly, then her gaze settled on the photo.
