On the way to the hospital, Zheng Gege started throwing up. At the hospital, she was admitted to the ER immediately, where her stomach was pumped. After that, she was brought to a ward where the doctor asked her what she ate before her stomach began hurting.

Is she alright now? Ah Sha asked.

The doctor looked at Ah Sha in surprise. Clearly, the doctor had recognized Ah Sha as Mei Jing. The doctor recovered and said, Shes fine now. At the moment, our preliminary diagnosis is that she has food poisoning. But well only know the main cause after the test report comes out.

Ah Sha nodded and thanked the doctor. The young doctor had asked to take a selfie with Ah Sha, which she agreed to. Before the doctor left, he requested Zheng Gege to get more rest.

What do you think caused your food poisoning? Ah Sha asked, taking a seat beside the bed.

Zheng Gege shook her head. No idea, she said. I had some buns this morning. After that, I drank my fruit tea, then your cookies She paused all of a sudden. Ah, I wasnt accusing you I mean I dont think its the cookies

I know, Ah Sha said, cutting her off. I ate the cookies too.

Could it be my tea? Zheng Gege wasnt an idiot. It couldnt have been the stuff she ate for breakfast since she had them every day. Ah Sha never drank the fruit tea. She was the only one who drank it.

Ah Sha patted Zheng Geges hand. Hey, just rest for now, okay? Youll know once the test results come out tomorrow.

Ah Sha told Wan Qingsi everything when she got home that night. For the past few days, Wan Qingsi had been spending all his time during the day at Stars Entertainment, only dropping by Yings residence at night. Not a single one of those days did he pick up Ah Sha from the movie set. That alone had put him in a foul mood for a few days straight. His mood worsened when he heard about the food poisoning incident at the movie set today.

You dont think its an accident? Wan Qingsi was holding Ah Sha in his arms, kissing the skin of her arm.

Feeling ticklish, Ah Sha pushed him away. I keep having this feeling that I was the intended target.

The tea was meant for you. If you drank it, youd be the one in the hospital right now, Wan Qingsi said, pulling Ah Sha back into his arms. But what can they achieve by giving you food poisoning?

Tang Yue and Wen Pinyu had been quiet for a long time, Ah Sha said. I think theyre probably going to make a move soon.

Wan Qingsi frowned. Ill look into it. But yeah, theyre most likely to be the ones behind this.

What about the fake Ying Xin? Ah Sha said, snorting. She isnt sleeping in my room, I hope.

No. She wanted to do so! Wan Qingsi pinched Ah Shas b.u.t.t. Mother had locked your room a long time ago. The cover story is that theres a leaking pipe in your room that hasnt been repaired.

Does she look exactly like me?

We can already tell that somethings wrong from a photo, let alone in person. Wan Qingsi lowered his head and kissed her. Why, are you still jealous? Hm?

I just feel disgusted, thats all, Ah Sha growled. Some random person pops out of nowhere wearing my face every day? Its disgusting.

Guess what mother told me yesterday in secret? She said that the fake has terrible table manners. My mother thinks she looks ugly when she eats. She is definitely not as cute as you are! Then Wan Qingsi looked as though hed just thought of something. You know, when Chengcheng came back, we didnt tell him about the fake Ying Xin. Guess what happened? After a while, he went to Ying Qingcang and told him, Father, why does sis look so weird all of a sudden?'

So, you guys told him already?

Wan Qingsi nodded. The impersonator will feel even more confident if Chengcheng plays along. Shed think that she had successfully fooled everyone.

Its been days already. She didnt say she wanted to come to Stars Entertainment? Ah Sha frowned. Also, didnt she try to do intimate stuff with you?

Haha! Wan Qingsi touched her forehead with his. Dont worry, babe. I never let her touch me.

Ah Sha hugged Wan Qingsi and let out two sounds, which, to Wan Qingsi, sounded way too sulky. If she never tried to make any moves on you, Ah Sha said, it means that she has no intention of entering the s...o...b..z. Which means that her target must be Xin Enterprises.

See? Ive said from the start that shes targeting Xin Enterprises, Wan Qingsi said, pausing in thought. At first, I was hoping that shed come to me. But now, its clear that shes trying to enter Xin Enterprises. Mother will be p.i.s.sed for sure

When he saw the frown marring Ah Shas forehead, Wan Qingsi tightened his arms around her. Hey, its going to be alright, he said. Your daddy wouldnt let your mommy get hurt!

When Ah Sha wrapped up work on the movie set the next day, she took a trip down to the hospital to visit Zheng Gege. This time, the production crew, including Director Lin Dong, tagged along as well. Lin Dong figured that since the reporters had already found out about what happened, he might as well take the opportunity to do some interviews and give their upcoming movie more publicity.

Zheng Geges test results came out.

You told me she only drank fruit tea, right? But how come we detect shrimp powder in her stomach? said the doctor, handing the report to Ah Sha. Hawthorns and shrimps dont mix at all. Theyll cause food poisoning if consumed together.

Thats strange said a member of the production crew, How come weve never heard of anyone getting food poisoning from that?

The doctor laughed. Consuming shrimp and hawthorn together isnt what normal people would do! said the doctor, glancing at Ah Sha. Ah Sha nodded at the doctor. She understood what the doctor was trying to tell her. Thank you, doctor! she said.

The s...o...b..z was a breeding ground for wickedness and immorality. The doctor was aware that someone had deliberately spiked the fruit tea with shrimp powder. Even so, the truth of the matter was none of his business, instead of dwelling on it further, he reminded Zheng Gege not to consume any greasy foods for the next few days before he left the room to take care of her discharge procedure.

Zheng Gege made the fruit tea, right? Hao Yuan suddenly said. She made it for Sister Mei Jing.

Ah Shas eyes darted to the side briefly to look at her. Why are you here? Ah Sha asked.

Oh, were all colleagues. Of course, I should visit her if something happens to her! Hao Yuan answered with a smile. Good thing youre okay. Otherwise, the boss would be worried.

Zheng Gege, who was in the middle of packing her stuff to go home, suddenly glared at Hao Yuan. Spit it out if you anything to say, Zheng Gege said coldly. Stop beating around the bush.

Geez, whats with the tone? Hao Yuan said with a scowl. Why? Is your guilty conscience troubling you? Hao Yuan smirked. Well, you tell us then. How come theres shrimp powder in the fruit tea that you prepared for Mei Jing?

At that moment, everyone turned their eyes towards Zheng Gege. To them, this was no accident. It was clear that someone had tampered with the fruit tea. But the only one who could do that was Zheng Gege.

Just then, two reporters rushed into the room. They had heard Hao Yuans comment from the door theyd just finished interviewing Lin Dong and was about to enter the room to question the others.

Mei Jing, this isnt an accident? one of the reporters asked. Is there someone out to get you?

The other reporter directed his question at Zheng Gege. Why did you do it? Arent you worried about Wan Qingsi terminating your contract?

Oh, right! Hao Yun piped up. Boss Wan probably knows about this already, right? How come he isnt here to deal with this matter?

Ah Sha would bet her life on the fact that Hao Yuan had made that comment on purpose to prompt the reporters to start asking questions about Ying Xin which, much to her annoyance, worked. Mei Jing, now that the daughter of the Ying family has returned, do you think your relations.h.i.+p with President Wan will last? one of the reporters asked. Every reporter had been trying in vain to get an interview with Mei Jing for the past few days. She had been so elusive for the past few days and had been keeping a low profile, so they barely even saw her let alone interview her. Now, they knew that their opportunity had come. Sure enough, they would seize at the chance as if their careers depended upon it.

Ah Sha had a panic expression at that moment. However, Director Lin Dong, who had been trying desperately to fight off the smile threatening to form on his lips, already knew that it was all an act. He had long since come to the conclusion that Mei Jing wasnt a simple girl. What he didnt understand was the reason behind her act.

Come on now, guys. This isnt a good time to be having that interview, Lin Dong said at the same moment when Zhou Na and Xiao Hua entered the room to escort Ah Sha out.

When Ah Sha reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back to face the reporters, who were just about to start interviewing Zheng Gege again. The truth is Ah Sha said. The truth is that this incident is just a misunderstanding. The shrimp powder didnt come from the fruit tea, but from the cookie that I made. I added the shrimp power to give the cookies a better taste.

Then, Ah Sha looked at Zheng Gege guiltily. Im so sorry that it made you sick. I really didnt know itd have that effect.

Uh Um Its Its okay. Zheng Gege was shocked by Mei Jings appearance. Mei Jing looked completely different from the woman shed interacted with when they were in private.

Hao Yuan still wanted to say something but then she was stopped by the dark look that Ah Sha was giving her.

After a moment, Ah Sha put on her sungla.s.ses and left the room. Only then did Hao Yuan felt relieved. Phew What was that? Hao Yuan patted her chest. So terrifying Nah, its impossible that Mei Jing is capable of that kind of look. I mustve been mistaken.

Ah Sha was surprised to see Wan Qingsis car parked at the corner of the street when they stepped out of the hospital. When Zhou Na was sure that they were alone, she spoke to Ah Sha in a quiet tone: I called the boss. Hao Yuan is behind this incident, Im sure of it. Im worried that shes trying to smear you name.

Its okay! You guys should head back as well! Ah Sha waved at them and climbed into Wan Qingsis car.

Wan Qingsi buckled her seatbelt for her, then kissed her until she was out of breath.

Are you okay? I saw a couple of reporters entering just now, Wan Qingsi asked worriedly, his fingers caressing Ah Shas cheek.

Ah Sha leaned her head against Wan Qingsis shoulder and shook her head. It was Hao Yuan behind this.

Ah. Shes jealous of Zheng Gege, Wan Qingsi said with a frown, then started the car. I think its best if we terminate her contract.

I dont think its all about Zheng Gege. I think shes coming after me, Ah Sha said, replaying her interaction with Hao Yuan back at the hospital. Its like shes testing something.

Wan Qingsi turned his head to the side to look at Ah Sha. Do you think shes trying to test how much I care about you?

Thats it! Ah Sha said, clapping her hands together. I was trying to work out what is it that she was testing, but what you said makes total sense! She grabbed Wan Qingsis arms and leaned in to kiss him. Wan Qingsi stepped down on the accelerator and growled. Gotta get home quickly. I cant wait any more!

Hahaha! Ah Sha laughed at him. You should change your name to Wan Qinshou! (T/N: Qinshou literally means animal in Chinese; depending on the context, it could be used to refer to someone who is a pervert or constantly thinking about s.e.x; it could also refer to an brute or savage; the first case is more common)

Im only a Qinshou when it comes to you, Wan Qingsi said, kissing Ah Shas cheek.

Ah Sha pushed him away. Eyes on the road! They drove in silence for a while until Ah Sha broke it. You havent been to the set to pick me up recently. A lot of people are speculating that youve dumped me. I think Hao Yuan was trying to give me food poisoning so that she could gauge how much you actually care about me. Thats why she slipped the shrimp powder into Zheng Geges fruit tea.

What do you think shed do if I made no moves to show that I care about you? Wan Qingsi mused. Wan Qingsi released a derisive laugh. Hah! In that case, I should give her a chance!

Ah Sha chuckled, her eyes glinting deviously

The next day, when Wan Qingsi pa.s.sed by the lounge, he saw Hao Yuan and Sun Hui chatting with each other in a soft voice. Hao Yuans back was to the door, so she didnt see him there.

See? I told you shed been dumped! President Wan hasnt even been in touch with her for days! Look at the news today. Even the reporters are talking about it!

People were now spewing all kinds of nonsense on the internet about Mei Jing trying to ruin Zheng Gege because she was jealous of the latters acting skills. Those people thought that Mei Jing had deliberately poisoned Zheng Gege and then pretended to take responsibility for her actions, claiming that it wasnt deliberate. All of a sudden, Mei Jing found herself surrounded by a lot of negative publicity.

I pity her though Sun Hui had always been timid. Maybe she really didnt do it on purpose.

Hao Yuan snorted derisively. Are you an idiot? Who would put shrimp powder into cookies? She must have done it on purpose! I think she was trying to draw President Wans attention, but her plan backfired. Even so, President Wan doesnt seem to care about her.

Before Sun Hui could say anything else, she caught a glimpse of the door of the lounge. She gasped and covered her mouth. Hao Yuan was still rambling on, talking bad about Ah Sha, so she didnt notice the look of shock on Sun Huis face. When Hao Yuan finished speaking, she realized that Sun Hui hadnt been responding to anything shed said. She lowered her head and shoved Sun Hui a little. Whats the matter? You think Im wrong?

Hey, whats the matter with you? Hao Yuan noticed Sun Huis pale expression. She followed Sun Hui gaze.

P-pre-president Wan?
