The mother's accusations made it seem as if Wen Yi was responsible for Wen Ge's accident.
Wen Yi reminded me, "Mom, when Wen Ge told me to go on my trip and not to worry about Lin Manqing, I called you and told you that there was no signal where I was going and that you wouldn't be able to contact me."
"With so many cities and places, why do you insist on going to a place with no signal?"
"Alright!" Mr. Wen interrupted Mrs. Wen's accusations. "Now we need to deal with this."
Wen's mother didn't speak, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Yi was full of disgust.
Wen Yi often saw this look in her eyes and always thought she would get used to it, but every time her mother looked at her like that, Wen Yi felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
She never knew what she had done since birth to make her mother look at her like that.
"Wen Ge was targeted by Lin Manqing before, and now she's been kicked out of the crew. You go and find a way to resolve this matter," Wen's father ordered Wen Yi.
"I'm just a junior assistant, and my abilities are limited."
"I told you to figure out a solution, why are you wasting so much breath talking to me?" Mr. Wen said impatiently.
Wen's mother pointed at Wen Yi, "Wen Yi, let me tell you, you have to find a way to handle this matter no matter what. I don't care who you ask, Wen Ge's position as the female lead cannot be lost, do you understand?"
"But……"
"I can't even ask you to do something now? Do you think you're so important, Wen Yi? Or did Young Master Gu say he wanted to marry you, and now you think you're so great?" Wen's mother questioned.
Wen Ge stepped forward and stopped her, "Mom, since my sister doesn't want to, it's okay, then... let's just forget it. Maybe I'm an unlucky child, destined to be without dreams..."
Wen Ge choked up as she spoke, but couldn't continue. She covered her face and went back to her room.
Seeing Wen Ge's distress, Wen's mother felt sorry for her and naturally didn't speak kindly to Wen Yi, saying, "Wen Yi, I'll give you two days. If you can't do this well, don't come home again. You're such an ingrate after all these years."
After finishing her speech, Wen's mother went upstairs to comfort Wen Ge.
Wen's father stared at Wen Yi with even more disgust than Wen's mother, and he didn't even want to say another word to Wen Yi before turning around and going upstairs.
Wen Yi was left alone in the living room.
Even though I had anticipated this scene when I came back, my heart still felt a dull ache, and my nose still felt sore.
My vision is a little blurry.
Wen Yi stubbornly held back her tears and went upstairs to her room under the watchful eyes of the maid.
As soon as the door closed, the tears that had been held back for so long finally fell one by one.
However, Wen Yi's emotions did not last long before they were interrupted by a video call.
Preface by Gu Huai.
Wen Yi quickly wiped away her tears and answered the video call.
In the video, Gu Huaixu is wearing a white coat. He is tall and has long legs. His posture is outstanding and noble. He has lost his former sharpness and gained a sense of composure.
He pushed up his square-rimmed glasses and stared at the camera. "Crying?"
"No." Wen shook her head.
"Are you going to tell me that my eyes are so red because I got sand in them?"
"I didn't sleep well," Wen Yi said in a serious tone.
Gu Huaixu chuckled softly.
"Team leader, our data is ready."
Someone shouted from behind the video.
Gu Huaixu is a direct-entry doctoral student at the medical school. He rushed off the plane just now because the medical school's experimental group was looking for him.
Wen Yi said, "Go ahead and get busy, I'm fine."
"Okay, remember to watch the video."
After saying that, he hung up the video call.
It was obvious that the experimental group was very busy, but Gu Huaixu was worried about Wen Yi, so he managed to take a minute or two to check on Wen Yi's condition.
Wen Yi felt very warm inside.
The two-minute video of Gu Huaixu soothed the wounds in her heart.
She opened the video sent by Gu Huaixu.
The scene at the celebration banquet two days ago, the evening of the press conference for the start of filming of "Sword and Qin".
Lin Manqing, dressed in a golden gown, walked arrogantly and queenly to the innocent-looking Wen Ge and splashed the wine on her.
"Tell me, how did I bully you? As your senior, I gave you the second female lead role out of favor, what's wrong with me standing in the center position? You stole the center position and came to apologize to me, what's wrong with that?"
"If you're going to apologize, then apologize. Why release a video pretending to be innocent? Are you trying to prove your chastity as a slut?"
Lin Manqing questioned him like a queen, leaving the crew and high-ranking investors at the table speechless.
Wen Ge accumulated tears, never uttering a single word, and the tears fell without warning.
Lin Manqing said disdainfully, "If you can refute me even once, I will respect you. A newcomer can't disrespect his seniors by pretending to be weak and crying a few tears. Either you quit 'Sword and Qin', or I'll leave."
After saying that, Lin Manqing left on the spot, and the video ended.
Gu Huaixu then sent several more pictures.
Regarding the announcement by the production team of "Sword and Qin" that the choice of the female lead needs to be considered, and after this video was released online, Lin Manqing's fans tore apart the already small number of Wen Ge's fans, leaving even the online trolls afraid to make a fuss.
Lin Manqing has established herself in the entertainment industry, maintaining her domineering queen persona to this day. This is not only due to her straightforward and frank personality, but also to her outstanding professional skills.
Wen Ge didn't investigate anything properly, but she relied on her weak and innocent image, thinking she could reap the benefits here.
Now they've hit a brick wall, with Lin Manqing's fans and passersby yelling at them to get out of the production crew.
Wen Yi spoke with Wen Ge's agent and learned that the company's senior management had revealed that Wen Ge's image had been damaged and her commercial value would be greatly reduced, and they were considering abandoning Wen Ge.
If this matter isn't resolved by tomorrow, Wen Ge will undoubtedly die. It won't take two days.
'Knock knock knock'
A knock on the door interrupted Wen Yi.
Wen Yi put away her phone and said, "Come in."
"Sister, I've made you a cup of tea."
Wen Ge pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a cup of flower tea.
Wen Yi stood aside and watched Wen Ge carry the flower tea to the table. Then Wen Ge pulled out a chair for Wen Yi and said, "Sister, please sit here. This flower tea is something I bought abroad before the New Year. It smells very good."
Wen Yi didn't say anything, but walked over and sat down in the chair.
Wen Ge tested the temperature and made sure it was okay before giving it to Wen Yi.
Wen took it and drank a sip.
Wen Geren had already squatted down in front of Wen Yi, hugging Wen Yi's calves with her hands and resting her face on Wen Yi's thigh, in a pitiful and dependent posture.
"Sister," Wen Ge's voice choked with emotion, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Wen Yi placed the flower tea on the table. "Get up first."
Wen Ge hugged her tighter. "Sister, please help me. I really love being an actress, and I want to be a great actress. I know I was being immature this time, and I know I was wrong. Sister, please help me, okay?"
Wen Ge looked up, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, I know you love me, and you don't want to see me lose my dreams. I promise I'll be a good girl from now on. Please help me, okay?"
“This is a complicated matter. You should ask your agent first,” Wen Yi said. “Besides, I’m just an assistant; I don’t have that much ability.”
"You're my sister, how could you not have the ability?" Wen Ge hugged Wen Yi. "ES is promoting me so much because of your help, sister. I know everyone else is helpless, but you must have a way. Sister, please, please help me, okay?"
