Chapter Thirty-Four: The Beautiful Paparazzi

  "Huh...cough cough...stood you up?" Mo Xiuyao's words made Chu Yan pause, and then he remembered that Mo Xiuyao had asked him to stay with her before, but she fell asleep later, so he chose to leave. After all, last night was a bit...he had been planning to go out and find someone to relieve his urges, and staying here with Mo Xiuyao wouldn't have sparked anything between them, at least not yet.

  "You promised to stay with me, but you ran away halfway. Isn't that a breach of promise? A grown man can't even keep his word, I don't know if you're still a man." Mo Xiuyao's words sounded angry, but the tone was more complaining and coquettish, with a hint of pouting.

  "It was because of this matter, I'm really sorry, it's my fault for standing you up, but I hope to have a chance to make it up to you." Chu Yan understood the situation and also had a way to resolve it.

  "Don't you think you owe me an explanation?" Chu Yan's clean and neat apology made Mo Xiuyao somewhat unaccustomed, because among the men she knew, everyone would come up with a lot of reasons to explain after standing her up, but this man in front of her didn't even have any intention of explaining.

  "What's to explain? Explain what?" Chu Yan was taken aback, then thought about the reason he left, and finally shook his head vigorously. "How can I explain? Say that I went out to flirt with other women? Leaving such a beautiful woman like Mo Xiuyao right in front of me unattended?" As soon as he thought that if he told the truth, Mo Xiuyao might faint on the spot, Chu Yan chose not to explain.

  "It's just a broken promise, explanations are meaningless. Don't you think that explaining after the fact is a bit redundant?" Chu Yan was never good at verbal explanations, most of the time he preferred to use actions to explain himself.

  "Uh..." Mo Xiuyao was stunned by Chu Yan's words, and a strange sense of identification rose in her heart. If everything is explained after it happens, then this explanation is really somewhat superfluous. Things have already happened, even if they are explained again, they cannot change the results that have already occurred. This man's words seem to make some sense.

  "It seems you also think I'm right, don't you?" Mo Xiuyao's facial expression clearly conveyed her thoughts, and Chu Yan knew that this little girl had already agreed with his views, and his doubts were completely gone. However, his understanding of this woman had added a few more points of confusion - the saying "the heart of a woman is as unpredictable as the bottom of the ocean" was indeed true.

  "What you said is also right." Mo Xiuyao nodded, she was very satisfied with Chu Yan's statement and approach, but for the opportunity of compensation that Chu Yan mentioned, she felt that it should be taken advantage of. "The opportunity to make up will definitely come, but not now, I don't know how to let you make up for it yet, so just owe it for now, I'll tell you when I think of it."

  Mo Xiuyao finished speaking, a triumphant expression appeared on her face, and Chu Yan couldn't help but admire her. This woman's ability to seize opportunities was really too strong. A chance for compensation, after being processed by her mouth, became a promise from Chu Yan to her. This promise represented infinite possibilities. This time, Mo Xiuyao really made a big profit!

  "Alright then." Chu Yan was not dissatisfied, this little girl just had this skill, and besides, Mo Xiuyao had just found a relative for him to take care of in the future. So, with his good mood, Chu Yan didn't mind Mo Xiuyao's somewhat mercantile behavior.

  "Huh? This little girl has another sister? I've never heard San Dao mention it before?" Chu Yan's hand held the second page of the documents, on which was a girl named Jiang Yasu, who looked completely different from Jiang Xiao Ran. Jiang Xiao Ran was the lolita goddess of countless otakus, while this Jiang Yasu was a wild and untamed whip queen. More importantly, she and Jiang Xiao Ran were sisters with different fathers, which also explained why his good brother hadn't mentioned her before he died.

  "Don't worry, the content on the material is completely true. However, it's just this one that's easy to find. The others are probably not in Nanshan City. I'll continue to investigate and if there's any news, I'll notify you immediately." Seeing Chu Yan engrossed in the materials in his hand, Mo Xiuyao didn't continue to pester him about compensation matters, but instead said something that could be considered a promise.

  "So, thank you, I'll take my leave." With the materials in hand, Chu Yan needs to study them carefully and understand Jiang Xiao Ran's living environment, relatives, and whether he is doing well or not. Since this is where Chu Yan found the first person, he decided not to continue staying at the hotel. Maybe it's time to buy a house and a vehicle.

  Back at the hotel, Chu Yan spread out over a dozen documents on the bed and began to carefully examine them. The materials were not many, and soon Chu Yan had finished reading them, gaining a basic understanding of Jiang Xiaoran's current living environment.

  Jiang Xiaoran currently lives in a residential area called Luofeng Garden in the northern part of the city, where she owns her own house and lives alone. Her mother remarried into a wealthy family with the same surname as her father, Jiang, after her father's death. It is said that she has an older brother who went missing when he was very young.

  Jiang Yasu, although she is Jiang Xiaoran's younger sister, doesn't have much to do with her because as a member of a wealthy family, she looks down on Jiang Xiaoran. Despite their blood relationship, they don't get along well.

  Jiang Xiaoran is currently interning at a dental clinic called Qing Shuang Kou Qiang in Xicheng District. The boss of the clinic is named Qian Wangzu, who was originally the director of the dental department at the city's Red Cross Hospital and later left to open his own clinic. Qian Wangzu has good medical skills but is somewhat stingy and strict with employees.

  As for friends, this girl doesn't have many, and the vast majority are males, almost all of whom have a crush on her. In fact, many boys have even fought over her before.

  With these materials thoroughly digested in his mind, Chu Yan's face showed a relieved smile this time. He took out the old photo with Ryeo's name written on it from behind his back, and his eyes were slightly sour.

  "Three Knives, my good brother, I've taken care of the things you entrusted to me. I found Xiao Ran and know her situation - she's fine, don't worry too much, rest assured that I'll take good care of her until she grows up. Brother, please pass on my greetings to the other brothers." As he muttered to himself, time flew by, and when Chu Yan came back to his senses from his memories, he realized someone was lightly knocking on the door.

  "Who would knock on the door at this time?" Chu Yan quietly walked to the door and asked faintly, "Who is it?"

  "Bang, bang, bang!!" was the response, an even more urgent knocking sound. Chu Yan thought for a moment and chose to open the door, because he believed that here, no one should be able to pose a threat to him.

  The door opened, and a woman who was several centimeters taller than Mo Xi Yao appeared before her eyes. Estimated to be around 185 cm with high heels, almost as tall as Chu Yan. Without the high heels, she would be around 178 cm in actual height.

  A head of straight long hair falling to the waist, a standard oval face wearing a pair of black sunglasses, slender eyebrows trimmed neatly, a straight and slender nose bridge below which is a mouth painted with crystal-colored three-dimensional lipstick, snow-white slender neck in the light tender and inviting, sexy concave clavicle, full and round twin peaks, a purple off-the-shoulder evening short dress barely covering the woman's snake-like slim waist, more attractive are this woman's pair of surprisingly straight long legs, according to Chu Yan's experience, these legs must be at least 1.2 meters or above, is this woman a top supermodel from some company?

  "Who are you looking for?" The woman was extremely beautiful, but Chu Yan wouldn't believe that free pies would fall from the sky. The woman was carrying a bag that didn't quite match her outfit - it was a size larger than a handbag, square and awkward-looking. Chu Yan's eyes had caught sight of the bag's zipper in the first glance, where a small camera lens was hidden, and its position was surprisingly facing him directly.

  "Are you Liu Danyang's boyfriend?" The woman's voice was pleasant, her eyes darting around the room as she asked, adjusting the angle of her bag to get a better shot of the interior of Chu Yan's room.

  "What's Liu Danyang? Never heard of him." Chu Yan was somewhat puzzled, but still answered truthfully, and then casually reached out to close the door.

  "Wait a minute, I'm in a hurry, can I use your bathroom?" Duanmu Linglong said as she pushed open the door and forced her way in. Chu Yan stood coldly at the entrance, his eyes filled with a chill that made Duanmu's spine feel a bit cool, but for her goal, she gritted her teeth and forced her way in!!

  "Bang!!" Chu Yan was too lazy to care about this stunningly figured woman. If it weren't for being in China, or in Nanshan City, Chu Yan might have taken out this woman as soon as he discovered the pinhole camera. After all, this woman was top-notch material for a spy.

  "Who is Liu Danyang?" Chu Yan, who had just pushed Tong Mu Linglong out the door, suddenly remembered the question that woman asked when she opened the door. It seemed that the little girl's target was this guy named Liu Danyang. Anyway, since there was nothing else to do for the time being, Chu Yan turned on his computer and searched for the name "Liu Danyang".

  The power of the internet left Chu Yan in awe, and in less than a second, information about Liu Danyang popped up, even detailing the number of moles on his body. What surprised Chu Yan was that this Liu Danyang turned out to be a man, and one of the most popular young actors in the film industry at the moment.

  "But why did that girl ask me if I was Liu Danyang's boyfriend? Liu Danyang is a guy!" Chu Yan suddenly realized, and at the same time, a piece of online gossip also flashed before his eyes.

  "Liu Danyang was rumored to have a romantic relationship with a certain male star...". After reading this gossip news, Chu Yan realized that the little girl outside the door was a paparazzo specializing in reporting gossip news.

  "Son of a bitch!! That little girl is actually his mother's paparazzi!! How is this possible??"
