Chapter 320: She’s a Crazy Woman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Wu’s actions angered Shao Qiyun quite a bit. Almost driven crazy by the debt collectors, she started to criticize Mu Jingzhe. “Mu Jingzhe, what’s so great about you? You’re just a woman who snatched my son. If you’re so capable, give birth to one yourself. Shameless. A good child has been taught wrong by you. You must be the one who told Xiao Wu not to acknowledge me.

“Shao Zhong, you’re heartless. Didn’t Mu Jingzhe only cook a few meals and buy a few clothes for you? What’s so great about that? Is it comparable to me giving birth to you? How long has she been raising you?”

When she dragged Mu Jingzhe into this, the magazine that had been helping Shao Qiyun for the sake of money cleverly posed the following question: Was giving birth kinder than raising a child?

Was the kindness of giving birth to a child greater than the act of raising it? This question had always been controversial. Both Shao Qiyun and this magazine were very good at blurring out the main points and focusing on the controversial ones.

They had indeed succeeded. People kept discussing this topic later on, but other than a small number of people, many people thought it was quite forced to apply this question to Shao Qiyun and Mu Jingzhe.

However, many people indeed started discussing the kindness of raising a child. This was Shao Qiyun’s chance to speak up. However, there was no response from Shao Qiyun. Later on, they found out that Shao Qiyun seemed to have been captured by the debt collectors.

This was also entirely possible. The debt collectors would definitely demand their money back. They were smart, so they wouldn’t provoke the Ji Family, much less look for Xiao Wu.

Since Xiao Wu wouldn’t acknowledge Shao Qiyun, it was useless for them to look for him. Besides, Shao Qiyun could earn money with her body. Naturally, they’d only looked for her.

The storm that Shao Qiyun had stirred up slowly dissipated because of Shao Qiyun’s disappearance.

However, the discussion didn’t stop so quickly. Everyone was talking spiritedly, and all sorts of things were being said. Mu Jingzhe didn’t mind too much. She continued to take Little Bei to film when necessary. In reality, many people were still on her and Xiao Wu’s side.

After filming that day, Mu Jingzhe led Xiao Wu and Little Bei out of the production studio, but they were unexpectedly stopped by someone. The young man told Xiao Wu without rhyme or reason, “I support you, Shao Zhong. Some biological mothers are just not good. It’s fine if you don’t acknowledge such a mother. You did well.”

“Thank you, Brother.”

Mu Jingzhe found him familiar. “You are…”

“I’m Cao Yang. I troubled you because of Shao Qiyun previously.” Cao Yang scratched his head in embarrassment.

“I’m sorry about what happened before.” The young lady who was with him, Xiao Mei, apologized. When Mu Jingzhe saw her, she remembered that they were the ones who had dragged Shao Qiyun there. This was why this series of events had happened.

“Oh, it’s you.” Mu Jingzhe’s attitude toward them was quite calm. “What happened with the replacement afterward? How was it resolved?”

“After Shao Qiyun was exposed, she left the production team. In the end, the role went back to Xiao Mei.”

“That’s good. Congratulations.”

“Thank you. I’m sorry for what happened back then.” Xiao Mei apologized again.

“It’s fine. That’s all for now.” Mu Jingzhe was about to leave with the kids, but Xiao Mei said, looking embarrassed, “Actually, I’ll be joining your production team as a guest star in the future.”

“Eh?”

“I won’t have many scenes. I only wanted to give it a try. I didn’t expect to be chosen. The scenes of the previous production have already been filmed, so tomorrow, I’ll be joining your production team.”

“That’s good.”

When Mu Jingzhe heard that, she only said that it was fine and didn’t take it to heart. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Mei entered the production team, she would talk to Little Bei whenever she had nothing to do. From time to time, she would even bring some sweets, making it seem like she liked Little Bei a lot.

Cao Yang was fond of Xiao Wu and always spoke to him. Over the past two days, Mu Jingzhe had learned that Cao Yang was so supportive of Xiao Wu because he had also met a bad mother, but he didn’t specifically say why.

There were many good mothers in the world, but not all mothers were responsible. Mu Jingzhe and Xiao Wu thought that Cao Yang had met someone like Shao Qiyun, so they didn’t ask much.

If the filming went smoothly, they could get off work early. If things didn’t go well, they’d have to work overtime. That day, because the filming process hadn’t gone well, it wasn’t finished even at night, even though it was supposed to end in the afternoon.

When it finally ended, Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei came out and met Sister Wei at the door. “Sister Wei, why are you here?”

“The customer came to collect the clothes in advance. I saw that the outfit was completed, but I wasn’t sure, so I came to ask you about it.”

“Yes, it’s completed. It can be altered if necessary. I thought that customer would come tomorrow and forgot to tell you. It’s my fault. I’ll remember to tell you in the future.”

With Sister Wei around, Mu Jingzhe felt much more relaxed. She was also very reliable. After a few days of observation, Mu Jingzhe felt that she was doing quite well.

“How can I blame you?” Sister Wei shook her head.

“Let’s go back first.” Just as Mu Jingzhe and Sister Wei were about to leave, they heard a questioning voice behind them. “Why are you here? You came here on purpose. I told you I wouldn’t acknowledge you.”

Upon hearing that it was Cao Yang, Mu Jingzhe turned around for some reason and saw Cao Yang glaring at Sister Wei. Xiao Mei, who was beside him, had a puzzled expression on her face and didn’t react.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Sister Wei and saw that her spirit seemed to have been sucked away. Her earlier gentleness was gone, and her face was as pale as if she had seen a ghost.

Cao Yang looked at Sister Wei with disgust in his eyes.

Mu Jingzhe frowned. “You know each other?”

“Of course.” Cao Yang seemed to finally calm down when he heard Mu Jingzhe’s voice. He took a deep breath and looked at her. “Sister Jingzhe, do you know her?”

“Yes, she’s my assistant.”

Upon hearing that she was Mu Jingzhe’s assistant, Cao Yang blurted out, “Your assistant? What can she do?”

Mu Jingzhe didn’t like Cao Yang’s tone. “She can do a lot of things and she’s helped me a lot. Cao Yang, I don’t know what your relationship with her is and I don’t intend to get involved, but she’s not here to look for you. She’s here because she has something to tell me.”

Cao Yang could hear the protectiveness in Mu Jingzhe’s tone and was a little unhappy. He said directly, “Sister Jingzhe, don’t be fooled by her. I don’t know what she’s told you, nor do I know why you accepted her as your assistant, but she’s not a good person. She definitely didn’t tell you her actual situation, so she lied.”

Sister Wei’s face turned even paler. She looked at Mu Jingzhe and wanted to say something, but she hesitated and didn’t in the end.

Mu Jingzhe frowned. It was quite difficult to define who was a good person or a bad person. “What do you mean she’s not a good person?” Had Sister Wei done anything immoral?

“She’s just not a good person. Sister Jingzhe, don’t ask. Just don’t keep her around.” Cao Yang waved his hand.

Sister Wei’s face turned even paler. Mu Jingzhe looked at Sister Wei and then at Cao Yang. “Got it. I’ll see for myself.”

Compared to Cao Yang, who she had just met, Mu Jingzhe was more familiar with Sister Wei. She wouldn’t make a decision just because of a few words, but she had to ask Sister Wei when she got back.

“Let’s go, Sister Wei.”

Cao Yang hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe not to chase Sister Wei away directly. He felt even more uncomfortable now. “Sister Jingzhe, what do you mean? You’re not firing her?”

“Surely I wouldn’t fire her just because you claimed she’s not a good person? I’ll see for myself later.”

Sister Wei’s eyes were filled with gratitude, and Cao Yang was only left feeling angry. “I didn’t tell you just now because I didn’t want to. She ran from my house.. She’s a crazy woman.”
