Chapter 205 Jade Chess Pieces
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello?"
"It's me, Bai Ye'er."
Her voice was cold and firm: "I need you to do something for me."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Bai Ye'er's lips.
"I want to ruin Jiang Songchu's reputation so that he can never stand in this industry again."
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled softly.
"This is a huge project. Are you sure you want to do this?"
A hint of malice flashed in Bai Ye'er's eyes.
"Of course. Money is not a problem, as long as you get things done."
"Okay, I understand," the other party replied.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ye'er revealed a smug smile.
She murmured under her breath, "Jiang Songchu, let's see how you turn things around this time!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Songchu was completely unaware of Bai Ye'er's conspiracy.
She was still immersed in the joy of wrapping up filming and the excitement of the official announcement of her endorsement.
Faced with a flood of invitations from brands, Chen Yun was extremely busy.
Her phone rang almost nonstop from morning till night, and her inbox was overflowing with various cooperation proposals and draft contracts.
While selecting suitable brands and negotiating details with them, she also had to take care of Jiang Songchu's schedule, keeping herself constantly spinning like a top.
After dropping Jiang Songchu off at Rhine Villa, Chen Yun didn't even have time to get out of the car, only hurriedly giving him a few instructions.
“Songchu, you should rest well these few days. I will handle the brand’s matters.”
"If there is any particularly important cooperation, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Jiang Songchu nodded, her tone tinged with apology.
"Sister Yun, thank you for your hard work. Why don't you come up and have a cup of tea before you leave?"
Chen Yun waved her hand, her face showing fatigue, but her eyes remained firm.
"No need, I have a lot of things to take care of at the company. You get some rest and don't worry about me."
After saying that, she closed the car door, and the car quickly disappeared into the night.
Jiang Songchu stood at the entrance of the Rhine Villa, watching the car drive away, feeling a mix of emotions.
She knew that Chen Yun had sacrificed a lot for her development, and she would always remember this kindness.
Jiang Songchu pushed open the courtyard gate and heard a familiar "meow".
Mo Bao came rushing from the yard like a white lightning bolt, its tail held high and its fluffy head rubbing against her ankle.
The kitten purred as if complaining that she had been gone for too long, clearly missing its little owner dearly.
Jiang Songchu squatted down and gently rubbed Mo Bao's head, a tender smile on her face.
"Mo Bao, did you miss me?"
Mo Bao meowed as if in response, its tail circling around her wrist, its eyes sparkling with affection.
Then it gently patted her hand with its paw, as if scolding her for taking so long to return.
She looked up and around. The familiar courtyard, the lush flowers and plants, and the old locust tree made her feel at ease.
She took a deep breath, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, making even breathing feel much easier.
"Songchu!"
Grandma Feng's voice came from inside the house, tinged with joy.
Jiang Songchu looked up and saw Grandma Feng standing at the door, holding a pair of pruning shears, clearly having just come from the garden.
A kind smile graced her face, and the wrinkles around her eyes smoothed out.
"grandmother!"
Jiang Songchu put down the calligraphy, walked over quickly, grabbed Grandma Feng's arm, and shook it playfully.
"I missed you so much! Filming is finally over, I can finally go home!"
Grandma Feng smiled broadly and patted the back of her hand.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
"You must be tired from filming, kid. You've lost weight."
Jiang Songchu shook his head and smiled, "It's not hard work, I just miss home a little."
"Grandma, how have you been feeling lately? Have you been taking your medicine on time?"
Grandma Feng waved her hand, pretending to be relaxed.
"My old bones are still sturdy, you don't need to worry about me."
"As for you, you need to rest for a few days. Don't be busy with this and that as soon as you get back."
Just as Jiang Songchu was about to speak, he suddenly heard a cold snort.
She turned her head and saw Grandpa Xie walking out of the house with his hands behind his back, a "I'm not happy" expression on his face, and his beard twitching.
"Hmph, you're only thinking about your Grandma Feng, don't you think I'm even worth your time?"
Grandpa Xie deliberately put on a stern face, but his tone carried a hint of childish grievance.
Jiang Songchu couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly went over, took Grandpa Xie's arm, and said in a coquettish tone.
"Grandpa Xie, are you jealous?"
"How could I not miss you! You are my most beloved grandfather!"
Grandpa Xie couldn't keep his composure after being coaxed like that. His lips curled up slightly, but he still pretended to be serious as he spoke.
"Hmph, you still have some conscience."
"But you silly girl, you've been filming for so long and haven't even made a phone call. This old man has been thinking about you every day."
Jiang Songchu stuck out her tongue and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Xie, the film crew is too busy. Sometimes we don't even have time to sleep."
"But now that I'm back, I'll definitely spend more time with you from now on!"
"Look, I even brought you a gift!"
As she spoke, she took a small box out of her bag and handed it to Grandpa Xie.
Grandpa Xie took the box, his expression softening slightly, but he still wouldn't let it go.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
He opened the box, inside was an exquisite jade chess piece.
Grandpa Xie's eyes lit up immediately, his tone filled with surprise.
"Wow, this is good stuff!"
Jiang Songchu explained with a smile.
"I saw this in an antique shop near the film set, and I thought you would like it, so I bought it."
Grandpa Xie held the chess pieces with obvious affection, his smile impossible to hide.
"You still have some conscience."
Grandma Feng watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.
"You old man, you're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent."
Grandpa Xie snorted, but his eyes were full of laughter: "I'm just telling the truth."
Jiang Songchu felt incredibly warm inside as he watched the two elderly people bickering.
Grandpa Xie nodded in satisfaction and patted her on the shoulder.
"By the way, your Grandma Feng specially made some soup for you today. Come inside and have some to nourish your body."
Jiang Songchu's eyes lit up, and she happily took Grandpa Xie and Grandma Feng's hands.
"Great! I haven't had Grandma's soup in ages, I'm definitely going to drink a lot of bowls today!"
The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the house, with Mo Bao following behind, its tail wagging as if it too was happy for its little master's return.
After sitting down inside, Grandpa Xie looked at Jiang Songchu, who had lost weight, and frowned slightly, his tone filled with heartache.
