Chapter 61: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (12)

After waiting for half an hour, everyone else had their drinks, but the female lead still hadn't appeared to bring the male lead his milk tea.

Wen Yan: "..."

Is something wrong here?

[Host, you're not drinking it anyway. Why don't you give the milk tea to the male lead and say it's from the female lead?] the system urged. This could increase reader satisfaction and also promote the romance between the male and female leads.

Wen Wan was a little reluctant, "I haven't drunk it yet."

She was craving milk tea too, okay? But looking at Gu Yiqin in front of her, with his jade-like face and a hint of loneliness in his eyes, she realized that everyone else had it but he didn't. This differential treatment must have made him feel incredibly wronged.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Wan quietly stepped forward.

"Teacher Gu, Teacher Ning asked me to bring this over because she saw you didn't get any milk tea." Wen Wan said in a high-pitched voice, and then handed over the milk tea. Gu Yiqin didn't take it. "Thank you, but I don't drink milk tea."

"OK."

Wen Wan dared not say more, fearing that her identity would be exposed, so she prepared to retreat.

He didn't see the power line on the ground, got caught on it, twisted his left foot to his right foot, and fell face-first into a big fall, his hat flying off.

Are you alright?

Gu Yiqin, who was closest to her, tried to pull her up, but Wen Wan was terrified and didn't even lift her head. "I'm fine, I'm not hurt, I'm leaving now."

Then she covered her face and ran away.

Gu Yiqin: "..."

Running to a corner where Gu Yiqin couldn't see her, Wen Wan belatedly realized that she was in pain all over her body, especially her palms. The milk tea packaging was broken, her hands were covered in milk tea, and her skin was scraped and bleeding little by little.

Wen Wan's eyes were red from the pain.

"It hurts so much."

The system quickly tried to soothe its host's pain, since the milk tea couldn't be delivered anyway. However, the fact that the male and female leads had started communicating was a significant gain.

[Current reader satisfaction is 45/100. Keep up the good work!]

Wen Wan: "Baby, do you know that your comments sound like those of a scumbag? I'm already hurt, and all you care about is reader satisfaction."

I've given you pain relief.

The system looked at the readers' comments and found that some people were indeed very satisfied with the newly appeared Ning Xianghan, and the official pairing was just around the corner. As for those who were obsessed with the cult, they would disperse after Bai Cha went to jail.

This time, it will definitely not trick the host again or choose the wrong partner.

The thing that happened in the last world—sending its own host out—is absolutely impossible in this world.

...

The mission is proceeding smoothly.

Wen Wan's daily inspirational quotes have turned into encouraging short essays.

Chen Wei's life was too difficult. The company was very disappointed by Bai Cha's incident and suspended him from his job. He hated Bai Cha to death. This bitch had ruined his life so badly. How could he let her get away with it? So he contacted Bai Cha's gambling mother.

The gambling mother made a fortune by exposing Bai Cha's secrets, but she quickly lost it all.

After Chen Wei contacted her, he gave her some money and asked her to do something for him.

"Cha Cha, Mom was wrong, please save Mom, I'm really going to be killed. They said if I don't pay back the money today, they'll chop off my hands and feet." Wen Wan received a call from the original owner's mother.

The other person was crying so genuinely that Wen Wan asked, "Where are you?"

The other party gave her an address, and after hanging up, Wen Wan immediately called the police and gave them the address.

When encountering such a violent incident, of course you should wait for the police to handle it.

So there were Chen Wei and the original owner's mother waiting for the white tea to be put into the urn, along with a man in a suit, who was about fifty years old.

"Mr. Liu, Bai Cha will definitely come." Mr. Liu had long had his eye on Bai Cha, but Bai Cha was useful before, so Chen Wei didn't want to do this. But now Bai Cha is so irresponsible, causing him to lose his job.

"As long as Bai Cha comes, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you."

The three of them waited and waited, but instead of receiving white tea, they were greeted by the police.

The three of them: "..."

The original owner's mother was already feeling guilty, and her legs started trembling as soon as she saw the police. "Is there something wrong?"

"Hello, are you Ms. Chen Zhuzhu, as reported by the police?"

"I am."

“Someone called the police, saying that you were threatened by loan sharks because you borrowed a large amount of money at exorbitant interest rates. The person who called the police was your daughter. Please assist us in the investigation.”

Chen Zhuzhu was shocked that Bai Cha had called the police. She broke out in a cold sweat. "No, I didn't borrow any money at high interest rates, and no one tried to kill me. It's all a misunderstanding. My daughter is talking nonsense."

The police could tell at a glance that he was clearly guilty.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation. Is anyone else in the house?"

Soon after, both Mr. Liu and Chen Wei arrived at the police station for a chat.

It's an undeniable fact that Chen Zhuzhu borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates, and the investigation quickly uncovered that she was also involved in illegal gambling. All of this will be severely punished by law, and it's estimated that this person will be unable to harass Wen Wan again in the short term.

As for Chen Wei, having offended General Manager Liu, he's probably not having a good time lately.

Wen Wan was thrilled when she received the news.

They all deserve it.

"So in critical moments, we still have to trust the police. Although the original owner was hateful, she had also given her mother a lot of money over the years. Her selfish and self-centered appearance is probably partly due to her family background."

Wen Wan sighed. She had also grown up without parents, but the director of the orphanage treated her very well. Her childhood was wonderful, and she received mostly kindness.

Later, with the help of a kind person, she went to university. After graduation, she wrote online novels and made a small fortune. She bought gifts for that kind person and also regularly donated money to the orphanage every month.

He didn't buy a house; his only wish was to buy a car. He got the car, but then he was struck by lightning and died on the way.

That's terrible.

"However, no matter how pitiful she is, Gu Yiqin is innocent. This Bai Cha still has feelings for the person who hurt her, but she gave up on him and betrayed Gu Yiqin for fame and fortune, pushing away someone who was good to her. This Bai Cha is definitely not smart enough and cannot be understood."

[Host, there will be many more characters like this in the future, because this is a world of melodramatic and poorly-ended stories, and many characters will exhibit illogical and unrealistic character breakdowns. As the author, you should understand that, right?]

Wen Wan: That's really true.

However, in Wen Wan's case, white tea can never be washed away, because if she hadn't made it in time, that young life would have been lost.

Murder is murder, and wrongdoing is wrongdoing.

Even if one's childhood was tragic, it is not a reason for forgiveness.

—

After the male and female leads met, Wen Wan thought she only needed to wait quietly for the plot to develop, then send her to prison, and then fake her death.

Who would have thought that the system would also require her to keep track of the male and female protagonists' activities at all times.

The system's original message: "Anyway, you're free."

I followed the film crew to the set every day like a stalker, making sure the relationship between the male and female leads went smoothly and that there were no unexpected problems.

At Chen Xian's urging, Gu Yiqin stayed on set as an acting consultant.

Perhaps it was the work of the plot gods to give the male and female leads time to develop their relationship.

Ning Xianghan is a very ambitious newcomer and a fan of Gu Yiqin. Therefore, she often asks Gu Yiqin questions, which Gu Yiqin answers. However, he is usually quiet and, apart from questions about acting, he does not show any special treatment towards Ning Xianghan.

Even when the male protagonist asked, she had the same attitude.

When other actors asked, they all pointed out the same problem.

Is there a problem with this? Of course not. The crew quickly developed a liking for Gu Yiqin, and many people surrounded him every day asking him questions.

However, for Wen Wan, who was disguised as a stagehand, this problem was more serious.

That's the female lead!

Shouldn't the female lead receive some preferential treatment?

Isn't this just the female lead putting in all the effort and getting nowhere?

"I'm getting bored watching them so lukewarmly," Wen Wan sighed. So, following the system's suggestion, Wen Wan started sending warmth to Gu Yiqin under the name of Ning Xianghan.

For example, he secretly bought two chicken legs and added them to the boxed lunch, making it look much more substantial than others' lunches, and then quietly gave them to Gu Yiqin.

However, Gu Yiqin didn't eat more than a couple of bites of the meal even after it cooled down.

Wen Wan brought a drink: I didn't drink it.

Seeing Gu Yiqin's thin figure and the fact that he only ate a few bites of food each time, Wen Wan became very anxious.

"Your health will be ruined if this continues."

After thinking about it, I decided to start posting pictures of various foods on my "My Life is Wonderful" account and explaining the health problems that can result from not eating.

More than a dozen messages were sent in a row.

Finally, I sent Gu Yiqin a private message today.

Life is beautiful: Eat more!!!

Simple and straightforward.

Gu Yiqin was somewhat surprised to see the private message, then looked around but didn't find anyone suspicious. A speechless smile curled at the corner of his lips; he had actually thought for a moment that the person was also on set.

Looking at his own boxed lunch, Gu Yiqin, knowing the production crew was well-funded and provided generous portions, took it and ate about half of it.

Wen Wan, who was secretly watching, sighed like a motherly fan, "How can this male lead be so childish? He needs to be coaxed to eat?"

system:【……】

So Wen Wan sent Gu Yiqin the menus for three meals a day on time. She also secretly went to the staff who distributed the boxed lunches and secretly gave Gu Yiqin extra food each time.

The man was very curious. "Are you a fan of Teacher Gu? Your lunchbox has vegetables and meat every day, which is much more substantial than the lunchboxes served on our set."

"I was arranged by Teacher Ning. She's a fan of Teacher Gu. Don't tell anyone."

"I understand, I understand."

Wen Wan left.

When Chen Xiaoya finished her work and arrived at the film set, she saw her artist eating the crew's boxed lunch with a good appetite, so she quickly went over and said, "It's lunchtime. The food on this set is pretty good. I'm hungry too."

So Chen Xiaoya also went to get a boxed lunch and came over.

Then open it.

Why is this lunchbox different?

Gu Yiqin looked up and saw that Chen Xiaoya's lunchbox was very simple: rice, one meat dish, and two vegetable dishes.

And the boxed lunch in his hand.

The meal included eggs, chicken legs, and a mix of meat and vegetables, making for a very generous portion.

He assumed all boxed meals were the same size, and he didn't bother to look at other people's boxed meals.

A strange thought came to mind, so he got up and went to the place to collect his lunchbox, and Chen Xiaoya followed him.

All the boxed meals were the same size, but his was the only one that was much more lavish than everyone else's.

Why is my lunchbox different from the others?

The person handing out the lunch boxes saw Gu Yiqin and replied, "Teacher Gu's lunch box isn't from the production crew. Teacher Ning had someone specially buy it for you and told me not to tell you."

"Teacher Ning? Please thank her for me, but don't give me any more special lunch boxes in the future."

Gu Yiqin left somewhat disappointed.

He was indeed overthinking things.

Chen Xiaoya finally understood. So her artist had gained another suitor? "Ning Xianghan? Isn't she the female lead in this drama? It seems you two get along well."
