Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Playing the Rogue!
Something big has happened at home!
Xiao Wan was anxiously flustered but, having been tempered by society, she possessed more composure than the average girl.
Since her mother could call her, it proved there was no life-threatening danger, but her mother's reminder to seek bodyguards from Tianyu Entertainment meant someone had forced their way into the house, and her rash return would only cause further commotion.
But who would forcefully break in like that?
The neighbors in the community!
She couldn't believe they were so greedy, to do such despicable acts just because they missed capturing her on camera one time. If things continued, would she end up working for them?
Xiao Wan informed the director about the incident, and he immediately got up jokingly, saying a group of people causing trouble at the aunt's house of Tianyu's big boss—if they didn't handle it well, they'd all be in trouble once the boss blamed them!
The director contacted Lu Guan, who promptly pulled over twenty security personnel from the security department and sent them ahead to Xiao Wan's home.
Back at the film crew, although lacking Tianyu's security forces, as a frontline celebrity, Sister Lu naturally traveled with bodyguards. Out of goodwill, Sister Lu generously allowed five burly men to follow Xiao Wan to ensure her safety.
Rushing back to the community, the neighbors showed a schadenfreude expression upon seeing Xiao Wan, but they kept their phones aimed at her nonstop.
At this point, she had no time to entangle with these people and hurried back home.
Upon entering, she found that Tianyu's security personnel had already arrived, and inside the Xiao Family's house was in total disarray, the door covered with footprints.
Especially in Xiao Wan's boudoir, her clothes had been plundered, with even some lipsticks and cosmetics scattered on the floor.
What on earth happened? Had their home been robbed???
Xiao Wan stood there, stunned, gazing vacantly at her silent father sitting on the sofa and her mother quietly sobbing.
"Dad, Mom... our house..."
The more Xiao Wan spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, a mist of tears arising in her eyes. The Xiao Family had just renovated last year, spending more than four hundred thousand, but looking at the current situation, it was all for naught.
"Sigh..."
Xiao's father sighed and explained what had happened.
This morning, the neighbors gathered under Xiao Wan's apartment as usual, planning to go live, but after waiting for a long time, Xiao Wan didn't appear.
Some people dispersed disappointedly, but among the crowd was a drunkard who had been drinking since the morning, who in a moment of impulsiveness said to the crowd, "If Xiao Wan doesn't come out, let's just go in and film her house! We're all uncles and elders, it should be fine to visit, right?"
This suggestion was agreed upon by many, and a crowd of dozens knocked on the Xiao Family's door.
When Song Juan sleepily opened the door, she was startled to see the crowd outside.
But those once-familiar neighbors wouldn't listen to Song Juan's pleas and pushed their way into the house.
Upon realizing Xiao Wan really wasn't there, the crowd's discontent surged. They'd been getting up early and staying out late to make money off Xiao Wan, and now their source of income was cut off—how could they allow that!
At that moment, in the live broadcast, some troublemakers offered large sums of money for clothes worn by Xiao Wan. Although it wasn't as profitable as filming her, mosquito meat was still meat, after all—they could simply apologize to Xiao Wan afterward.
With this thought in mind, the group divvied up all the clothing from Xiao Wan's wardrobe...
Hearing this, Xiao Wan's father heaved a deep sigh. He felt utterly powerless against these hooligans. If it hadn't been for the critical moment when he protected Xiao Wan's personal clothing, he feared his daughter would have been too ashamed to show her face.
"Wan Wan, these people are really despicable!"
Xiao Wan's assistant had fire in her eyes. Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, she had never seen such shameless behavior.
"Wan Wan, you should just stay at the hotel arranged by the film crew for now. There are more people there, and I'm worried about bad people on the road if you commute to and from work every day..."
Song Juan stopped her tears and earnestly pleaded while holding her daughter's hand, "After you finish this film, your dad and I will pool some money together and buy you a new apartment elsewhere. When we miss you, we'll come to visit."
"Why should I!" Xiao Wan's chest heaved with anger, "This is my home, and it's their fault for intruding! Should our family be separated because of these scum?"
The more Xiao Wan thought about it, the less she considered those neighbors to be human. She turned angrily, ready to confront them.
Xiao Wan's father, fearing trouble, also ran out.
"Everyone, look! Xiao Wan is out! I told you, with such a big incident at home, she was bound to come back to deal with it!"
"Hehe, folks, this morning I managed to snag a dress worn by Xiao Wan, ha! If anyone wants it, come quick and find me!"
"The way I see it, the Xiao Family is getting more and more arrogant. So what if they've got a small-time celeb at home, look how snooty they've become!"
"The more you talk about it, the angrier I get. What's the big deal with filming her? Does it make her lose weight? Dammit, if they try to sneak out again, I'll continue to make a fuss!"
The neighbors showed no remorse for their earlier actions; on the contrary, because of the incident, their live-streaming popularity had skyrocketed, and their income had soared. They were itching to argue with Xiao Wan, the main subject, to boost their popularity further.
"You people have no shame at all, breaking into someone else's house to cause trouble! I'm warning you for the last time, if I catch anyone filming me again, I'll send them a lawyer's letter!" Xiao Wan said furiously.
But the group didn't take it seriously.
"Lawyer's letter? Can you eat it? Come on, Xiao Wan, are you made of diamonds? So precious, aren't you!"
"Hahaha, nowadays big stars are so delicate. What's wrong with us filming you as a public figure? Go on, make me a big star too. I'll let you film me enough every day!"
"It's obvious the Xiao Family doesn't care about us anymore. Your dad had trouble before and even borrowed five hundred bucks from me. Now that your family has made it, you just kick us old neighbors to the curb?"
"You!!! You!!!"
Each of these people looked shameless, as though they were about to verbally assault Xiao Wan and call her an ingrate.
"Bastards!" Xiao Wan's assistant clenched her fists and yelled at the security personnel from Tianyu, "Wan Wan is being ridiculed like this, what are you standing there for!"
The security guards were also fuming and began moving towards the crowd.
What happened next shocked everyone present.
An elderly man in his sixties, holding his phone, plopped down on the ground and wailed, "Ouch~ The big star has hit me! I'm done for; I'm going to die. It hurts everywhere! Don't come near me, or I might just pass away!"
Threatening words kept spewing from the old man's mouth, and the security personnel, unaccustomed to such a scene, hesitated to approach carelessly.
