The call was from Wen Ge, inviting Wen Yi to have coffee.
Wen Ge didn't say much on the phone, only that she hadn't seen Wen Yi for a long time and was worried about Wen Yi's marriage, so she wanted to talk to him and find out what was going on.
That's what they say, but Wen Yi isn't stupid. She knows that Wen Ge has something to ask her, and Wen Yi doesn't refuse Wen Ge.
She only agreed to meet Wen Ge after asking Xiao Kongkong if she had the freedom to travel.
At 4:30 in the evening, Wen Yi and Wen Ge met at a coffee shop.
Wen Ge is now quite famous, and she always tries to disguise her image when she goes out alone.
When Wen Yi arrived, Wen Ge was already there, still wearing large sunglasses even in the indoor coffee shop.
When he saw Wen Yi, he simply nodded with his chin, indicating that Wen Yi should sit in the seat opposite him.
"I ordered you a latte. If you don't like it, you can change it," Wen Ge said, taking a sip of her Americano before frowning.
"The coffee here isn't very good," she commented.
Wen took a bite of the latte. "It's alright."
Wen Ge chuckled, “Sister probably doesn’t drink coffee very often, so she doesn’t know that the quality of a shop’s coffee depends on the Americano. If the Americano is well-made, it means the coffee beans are good, which means the owner has his own research and ideas about coffee beans. But if even the Americano can’t bring out the original flavor of the coffee beans, or even if it does bring out the original flavor of the coffee beans, but the taste is not good, it means that the owner doesn’t understand coffee.”
While explaining these things, Wen Ge smelled the Americano coffee again, but in the end, she still put it aside with disdain.
Wen Yi listened quietly to what she was saying, looking at Wen Ge's appearance, without taking the initiative to respond to Wen Ge's words or extend the topic.
She was very quiet, sipping her latte and gazing at the scenery outside the window.
The call was made by Wen Ge, and the meeting was also arranged by Wen Ge, so Wen Yi was naturally in no hurry to find a topic to talk about.
The silence lasted for about seven or eight minutes before Wen Ge finally spoke up, "Sister, all the actors in the 'Sword and Qin' crew are back on track and filming is proceeding as planned."
As Wen Ge spoke, she took off her large sunglasses.
Wen stirred the coffee in front of her, which was two-thirds full, then picked up the cup and finished the remaining third, before saying, "Oh, it's pretty good."
Wen Ge silently watched Wen Yi's entire behavior with her hands crossed on the table. She tapped her fingers on her arm intermittently, clearly deep in thought.
"Excuse me, are you Wen Ge?"
Just then, two girls from the next table walked over excitedly, cautiously asking questions and looking at Wen Ge expectantly.
It's obvious they've met a little fan.
Wen Ge nodded gracefully, "It's me."
The two girls were so excited they almost jumped up. "We're your fans! We really like you and we're really looking forward to the broadcast of 'Sword and Qin'..."
Two young fans eagerly expressed their admiration and sought Wen Ge's autograph.
Wen Yi sat still and turned her face to look out the window.
Wen Ge was somewhat famous before filming "Sword and Qin", especially for her image as a beautiful, hardworking, and ambitious rich young lady on her short video account, which attracted many fans.
Although Wen Ge was involved in a major scandal with "Sword and Qin", she managed to maintain her image and persona well, retaining her fans and even gaining more recognition.
If Wen Ge can shine in this drama and overshadow Lin Manqing, then Wen Ge will truly have risen to the top by stepping on Lin Manqing.
These were all paths that Wen Yi had arranged for Wen Ge.
She did scheme against Wen Ge, but as the older sister, she didn't force her younger sister to her death. As long as she could live up to her potential, she could soar to great heights.
"Thank you, Miss Wen Ge. You're so kind. We won't disturb your gathering with your sister then."
Looking forward to your new drama, goodbye.
The two young fans left satisfied with the photo and autograph, leaving Wen Ge and Wen Yi alone in the cafe once again.
"Sister, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting," Wen Ge said.
Wen shook her head. "It's alright."
"Sister, the reason I asked you to come out today is because I hope you can help me with something."
Wen Gexian felt that the meeting had dragged on for too long, and finally expressed her purpose: "I hope that my sister can come back and be my assistant again."
Wen Yi's face remained expressionless. "Why?"
“I was terrified when I entered this industry, but I was also eager to pursue my dreams. My sister has been with me all these years, which makes me feel very safe. So I really hope that my sister can come back to my side.”
Wen Ge said emotionally, reaching out to grab Wen Yi's hand, "Sister, I really wish you were here."
Faced with Wen Ge's touching sincerity, Wen Yi's face remained expressionless and calm, making Wen Ge, who was trying to play the family card, feel very guilty.
After about two or three minutes, Wen Yi suddenly chuckled and withdrew her hand. "You seem to have forgotten that I already said before I married into the Royal Garden that it had nothing to do with my family."
“But we are sisters, aren’t we?” Wen Ge said emotionally. “No matter what, you are my most beloved older sister. I really love you, sister.”
This time, Wen Ge grabbed Wen Yi's hands with both of hers.
Wen Yi stared calmly at Wen Ge and asked, "Since you love me so much, why do you still want me to marry into the Royal Garden in your place?"
"I..." Wen Ge paused for a few seconds before saying, "I will marry into the Gu family and rescue your sister!"
Wen smiled and said, "Then I'll look forward to Wen Ge coming to my rescue."
His words were somewhat sarcastic, and Wen pulled his hand back.
Wen Ge seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to, but she didn't care. Instead, she asked again, "Sister, will you promise me?"
"Let me analyze your current situation," Wen Yi changed the subject. "Before the filming of 'Sword and Qin' started, your reputation was mixed after the incident with Lin Manqing. It seems that you are at a disadvantage now, being suppressed by Lin Manqing, but if you can outshine Lin Manqing in terms of your performance or the character itself when 'Sword and Qin' airs, then those articles criticizing you today will become your tailwind, allowing you to soar to the top and become a first-tier actor."
While Wen Yi calmly analyzed these things, Wen Ge became particularly excited, "That's exactly what I mean, sister, please help me!"
“But you can’t do it.” Wen Yi ignored Wen Ge’s words. “You don’t know how to surpass Lin Manqing in terms of character design or performance, because in the current script, Lin Manqing’s role as the second female lead is more likable and even overshadows the female lead.”
"Sister, you know what to do, right?" Wen Ge asked excitedly.
Wen nodded. "I had already planned this when I was pressuring you to apologize to Lin Manqing."
"So, sister, are you willing to come back and help me?" Wen Ge's eyes were full of hope.
Wen Yi looked at her calmly and gave her three words: "Unwilling."
