Chapter 71: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (22)

Ning Xianghan looked at Gu Yiqin.

Gu Yiqin ultimately had no doubts and even personally escorted her home.

Although his attitude remained indifferent, Ning Xianghan was satisfied. After all, feelings need to be cultivated little by little. With the nickname "Life is Wonderful," Ning Xianghan was able to get closer to Gu Yiqin.

One day, she will become the person Gu Yiqin likes.

After Gu Yiqin left the hospital, the filming resumed. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Gu Yiqin recover.

It seems Gu Yiqin is really happy to have found the owner of that number.

Wen Wan also noticed that Gu Yiqin's attitude towards Ning Xianghan had become a little gentler, and he would even chat with Ning Xianghan occasionally after filming.

The system was chattering away happily on the side.

But Wen Wan felt a pang of sadness and bitterness in her heart.

If you're not in good form, you can't act well, and if you don't act well, you'll be punished.

The scene was cut fifteen times. Gu Yiqin looked at her with a very serious expression and went over everything from the lines to the blocking to the state of mind, almost making her sound completely useless.

"If you haven't figured out how to act yet, then don't act. The production team doesn't have that much time to wait for you to learn."

Wen Wan lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I'll adjust as soon as possible."

Gu Yiqin nodded, his gaze not lingering on Wen Wan. After leaving the set, Wen Wan found a secluded spot to sit, as if dark clouds were floating overhead.

Do you think I'm being dramatic?

system:【……】

Seeing Wen Wan so upset, the system inexplicably began to doubt whether its calculated best way to complete the task was really reasonable.

"But seeing how good he is to Ning Xianghan because of that number, but how strict he is with me, makes me feel bad."

The system, unsure how to comfort the host, suggested, "Why don't you just quit filming this movie? Being an actor is just a temporary measure anyway."

Wen Wan refused, "No, this is a resource that Brother Jie worked so hard to get, and I've put in so much effort for it. I don't want to give it up."

"How about... I sing for you?"

Wen Yan: "..."

He paused for two seconds, then laughed and said, "You're in my head right now. Are you trying to have a disco in my head?"

"I'm fine, I'll get used to it."

After that, Wen Wan subconsciously tried to ignore Gu Yiqin and Ning Xianghan, and spent most of her time acting with Chu Feibai. Chu Feibai was very experienced, and Wen Wan learned a lot from him. She gradually regained her acting skills and was scolded much less.

She never expected that Ning Xianghan would find her.

Ask her to meet him.

"Won't she find out that number is mine?" Wen Wan asked, somewhat worried.

System: [Probably not, but you don't need to worry too much. The female lead is so kind, she probably won't do anything to you.]

After finishing her performance, Wen Wan went to the private room that Ning Xianghan had arranged.

Ning Xianghan said with a smile, "Wen Wan, please sit down. I've ordered some food; see if it suits your taste."

"Teacher Ning, there's no need to invite me specially."

"I heard you're a newcomer at Yiqin Company? Your acting is quite good. Teacher Chu has praised your talent to me several times."

Wen Wan: "No, no, my acting skills are just average. It's all thanks to Teacher Chu's excellent teaching."

Wen Wan looked at Ning Xianghan.

Five years have passed, and Ning Xianghan has grown even more beautiful.

"Teacher Ning didn't just invite me to dinner, did she?"

Ning Xianghan looked at Wen Wan and said, "Let's drink first."

Wen Wan frowned. "I don't drink alcohol."

Ning Xianghan poured herself a glass of water. "Don't be nervous, I won't eat you."

"I invited you here simply to make friends with you."

Wen Wan: "???" Why does the female lead want to be friends with her?

“I did some investigation and found that your past is completely blank,” Ning Xianghan said, taking a sip of her drink. “You have no past records, except for checking into the Saint-Ma Hotel a while ago and then entering Xiangyang on the third day. Tell me, humans are social animals, is it possible for someone to have no past records at all?”

Wen Wan is numb.

The system is also confused.

Why is she suddenly investigating someone as insignificant as you?

Wen Wan: "How would I know?"

“Unless someone deliberately covered it up, you really like Yi Qin, don’t you?” Ning Xianghan looked into Wen Wan’s eyes, but Wen Wan looked away. “What are you saying, Teacher Ning? I don’t quite understand.”

“I read every Weibo post you made and every private message you exchanged with Yiqin. I’m very curious, why did you do this? What is your purpose?”

Wen Yan: "!!!"

"Damn! How did the system know? We tried calling, but it was a dead number."

The system looked at the female protagonist in front of it, and said, "I don't know either."

How could that be? Its firewall can block all exploration in this world. Even top hackers wouldn't be able to track it down.

"Looks like I wasn't wrong. Do you know where you slipped up?"

Wen Wan didn't say anything.

Ning Xianghan moved closer to Wen Wan, "Your eyes, you're always staring at Gu Yiqin."

Wen Wan frowned, resolutely refusing to admit it, even if it meant her death.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have other things to do. If you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."

Wen Wan turned to leave, but after taking two steps, she felt dizzy. "You—"

Ning Xianghan looked at Wen Wan, who had fainted on the ground, and then put down the wine glass in her hand.

Several men in black entered the private room.

Then they took Wen Wan away.

...

When Wen Wan woke up, she was in a different place, surrounded by white light, much like a hospital ward.

"System, how did I get here?"

The system also connected to Wen Wan's brainwaves when she woke up, saying, "The female lead drugged you and brought you here."

Where is this?

"Songshan Mental Hospital".

A mental hospital? Why did Ning Xianghan bring her here? And soon she found that her hands and feet were tied up. She struggled to break free, but there was no way to escape.

"What's going on? System, didn't you say the female lead is a good person?"

system:【……】

How did it know the female lead had turned evil? And how could it do something like kidnapping its own host? This character is completely ruined.

"Is anyone there? Let me out! Is anyone there? Someone help me! Ning Xianghan, let me out! Kidnapping is illegal, you know that?" Wen Wan shouted. Soon someone opened the door, and several people dressed in white walked in.

"The patient's emotions are fluctuating too much; a sedative is needed."

Wen Yan: "???"

Why so suddenly? "I'm not sick, let me go right now."

"Yes, you're not sick. Just bear with it and you'll be fine soon."

Wen Wan struggled, "What are you enduring? She's not sick at all!"

But after the injection of tranquilizer, Wen Wan felt her consciousness slowly fading away.

"Commander! I won't die, will I?"

System: [Lodging—]

Once Wen Wan calmed down, the doctor drew a vial of blood from her before leaving.
