Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi had been feeling that something was wrong with Chesnut's security ever since she had returned to the country. It wasn't that she didn't consider someone would betray her. But for them to target her of all people? She was the company president, and it was true that she didn't often take care of the things in the company as she made Uncl Wu Qi handle them because she knew he had the ability and capabilities of a leader. However, that didn't meant they could stab her in the back when she had practically saved everyone in there.

Chestnut Entertainment was established solely to get talented people who were buried in the dust. A lot of diamond in the rough were forgotten by multiple companies. Ran Xueyi was the only one who had seen their beauty and talent that was originally used to take advantage of and belittle. For example, Zhao Yiqing, who had both the singing talent and strong leadership as a member of the boy idol group Exile.

He was previously thrown to the side to collect dust by his company and they made use of his all-rounded talent to make his other group members shine. However, just when he was about to fall deeper into the shit that his previous company and group members were about to step on, Ran Xueyi got him on board her ship and signed him under Chestnut.

There was also Yao Chuan, who had suffered from his maternal family's fierceness and ruthlessness of selling his freedom to a third-tier entertainment company. He was extremely talented in his method acting, but his management hadn't thought of making use of this and was even disgusted by this out of envy of his talent. When they realized that he was a genius in his craft, they made him sit on the bench and pretend they were going to make him debut, but only they knew that they just wanted him to be a laughingstock of a genius who can't even debut.

Ran Xueyi didn't care about the difficulty in acquiring him; spending money to get him out of his previous company. And now, she was fighting his evil maternal family in order to give him the full rights of his freedom which he had never been able to live and use as he wanted.

Each and every one of the people in Chestnut entertainment had a backstory of being oppressed. And intentionally or unintentionally, Ran Xueyi had gathered people who could dominate the entertainment industry through their crafts...

"I have checked the surveillance camera and history dated on each employee's computer. There are no signs of them sending out details of your itinerary or any other artists in the company. However, I decided to look further into this matter and found some suspicious actions from one individual," as soon as Ran Xueyi thought that there could be someone who had stabbed her in the back, she called Uncle Wu Qi to have him investigate after arriving in the city. He hadn't disappointed her as he had gotten back at her and reported his discovery.

"Who is it?" Ran Xueyi had listened very carefully to his reports. She had tiny hopes that nobody in Chestnut betrayed her, but when she heard him reporting that someone was acting out of ordinary, she couldn't help her fury bubbling up.

"Feng Huai."

Ran Xueyi fell silent as soon as she heard the name. It was the assistant manager who previously followed her. He was now handling Zhao Yiqing as his agent after being promoted. She and Zhao Fei had talked about him just recently.

Three years ago, Feng Huai had been the one who had followed her everywhere like a tail. He was innocent and extremely good in taking care of her when Zhao Fei was not around.

But who would have thought that the bubbly, innocent cloud that had smiled at her like a child had betrayed her.

"Are you sure?" Ran Xueyi looked away expressionlessly as she asked.

"Yes. When I investigated further and checked what he had been doing these previous months, it seems that he had been meeting with Dauntless. Zhao Yiqing also told me when I called him that Feng Huai hasn't been beside him for almost two months. It was all his assistant manager who had been taking care of all of his itinerary." Uncle Wu Qi continued to report to her.

Ran Xueyi no longer needed further proof of Feng Huai's betrayal. There was no need for Uncle Wu Qi to lie to her and give her false leads. That could only mean that Feng Huai had really forgotten those times they had been together and stabbed her.

"Do you want me to fire him?" Uncle Wu Qi hadn't heard anything from her so, he wondered if she was hesitating to punish him.

Ran Xueyi said, "Don't fire him yet. I want to find out why he's doing this. And firing him is too lenient for a punishment for someone who betrayed me. Let him stay there but don't let him be suspicious. Collect everything you can get from him so when he tries to wiggle out, he won't have a place to crawl in."

After hanging up, Ran Xueyi drew a long intake of air and sighed dejectedly. She thought that there wouldn't be people who would betray her anymore. But turns out even if you shared good times with someone, they will still end up picking up a knife to stab you with. Will the people she helped before also betray her?

"Don't think about it. You are not in the wrong to help them. Those people are the ones who are not right in the head for forgetting what you've done for them." Song Yu Han was actually heartbroken when he saw Ran Xueyi being targetted like this by the people she trusted. He should have handled everything in his hand and keep her away from people who could betray her. But he was not a God. He couldn't predict everything, and he couldn't tell who would be trusted and who would betray them.

But he could have prevented it. If he had only told her that she shouldn't place her trust and matters into other people's hands as he had known long before that nobody in this world could be fully trusted. But he was ruthless and cruel. Ran Xueyi was not like him and he shouldn't turn her into someone who could be merciless enough to shut his heart to everyone.

Ran Xueyi released another sigh and told him, "I know I shouldn't trust everyone so easily. But I can't stop it. Xiao Feng has been with me for so long that I treated him like a friend."

Trusting somebody was easy. For as long as they showed you a good natured heart and pierced through the fortress you erected to not trust anyone easily, you couldn't help but rely and open up to them.

The things that Feng Huai had stolen and leaked were all confidential information. Mostly, it was Ran Xueyi's scheduled programs and flights. Since she didn't share much about her private matters to the employees of the company and Zhao Fei swore to keep what she knew to herself, he didn't get to leak anything about her and Song Yu Han's relationship. However, he got a hold on both Yao Chuan and Zhang Yiqing's matters. If she was right, the one who had sneaked Yao Chuan's family into his apartment was also Feng Huai.

"How do you want to handle him?" Song Yu Han was worried that she would be too soft hearted to deal with a friend, but he had unnecessarily worried a bit too much.

Ran Xueyi smiled and whispered to him, telling her plans to him. Aftet a while, Song Yu Han raised his brows and turned his head to get a better look at her.

"Silly."

Ran Xueyu giggled and burrowed her head into his arms which in turn, Song Yu Han circled his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.

After making absolutely sure she was asleep, Song Yu Han picked up his phone and rang Guo Yun, "Investigate what Dauntless has been doing recently. If you find anything that has Ran Xueyi's name on it, erase it."

"I'll get on it as soon as possible. President, what should I do with the dating scandal that's been spreading around? Should I warn the reporters from spreading false information and stop this from spreading more?"

Song Yu Han thought about it, but said, "Warning the reporters will only make them curious and believe the rumors. As for the articles spreading around, there's no need to delete them. We should give them something hotter and delicious bait to bite."

"Do you want to..."

"Release a statement that YH Group is currently in talks of collaboration with Chestnut Entertainment. Let everyone know that YH Group is the one supporting Ran Xueyi and Chestnut Entertainment. "
