Chapter 284: Coincidence
Chapter 284: Coincidence
He Jiayu's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
She bit her lower lip, seething with hatred, but dared not retaliate.
Everyone present could take photos and post them on social media; she can't afford to cause any more scandals.
Perhaps looking pitiful would evoke more sympathy from fans.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "Director Guo... how could you humiliate me like this?"
However, her trick was seen through.
Director Guo said firmly, "I'm sorry, the female characters in my script are all positive and helpful. There are no 'green tea' characters. Ms. He, please leave."
...
He Jiayu was furious after being humiliated on set.
Now that her assistant has left and her agent is a fickle opportunist, He Jiayu's treatment has plummeted, and she has to come to auditions in this godforsaken place on her own.
He Jiayu didn't want to waste today's makeup and styling.
The film crew drove five kilometers ahead to a coffee shop, where she had planned to sit for a while and take some photos to post in her die-hard fan group.
Before anyone could even get out of the car, they saw Wen Jin also walking out of the coffee shop.
From the car diagonally in front, Fu Yanjing's assistant, Dong Qi, got out.
She wasn't sure if Fu Yanjing was in the car.
He Jiayu was now somewhat afraid of Fu Yanjing, so she could only put on sunglasses and half-lie on the steering wheel, her mind filled with doubt.
How could they be in such a remote place?
Unexpectedly—
Tan Guohao actually chased after him from the coffee shop.
He Jiayu was startled.
After all, she had spent a little money to provoke the greedy Tan family to kidnap Wen Jinye and sell her.
But I didn't expect that those good-for-nothings couldn't even do this properly, and even alarmed Fu Yanjing!
Instead, it benefited Wen Jin as well.
Fearing that the investigation would reach her, He Jiayu had no choice but to send the Tan family away overnight, half-threatening and half-intimidating them, and giving them money to keep quiet in order to quell the matter.
Why are they back again?
Why do you need money from Wen Jin again?
What bargaining chips did they use this time?
He Jiayu, feeling guilty, would naturally think the worst.
She narrowed her eyes, a fierce glint in them.
If Tam Kwok-ho dares to bring up his past and reveal his identity, she wouldn't mind giving him a ride.
However, if he comes to see Wen Jinye for other reasons, she will be happy for his presence to cause Wen Jinye enough trouble.
Otherwise, why should he fall to the bottom while Wen Jin is becoming increasingly successful?
Tan Guohao was arguing with the staff at the entrance of the coffee shop.
The black car diagonally in front of them slowly drove away.
He Jiayu was about to get off the bus when, unexpectedly, another pleasant surprise awaited her.
Zhao Qin crept out of the green belt, muttering under her breath, "I knew he was unreliable. I don't know what he's up to, and he dared to keep it from me."
He Jiayu accurately captured the information.
Suddenly, the car window was rolled down completely, startling Zhao Qin, who was passing by.
He Jiayu smiled and took off her sunglasses.
"Needing money again?"
He Jiayu's threats are still fresh in my mind.
Zhao Qin was afraid that He Jiayu would misunderstand, "No, no. We didn't come here to see you, please don't misunderstand. I will be very careful and won't be discovered by the police."
He Jiayu scoffed, "So cautious, what are you trying to do? Do you think Wen Jin is living a good life now and want to squeeze some money out of her?"
Zhao Qin's petty, street-smart nature was on full display. Not quite understanding He Jiayu's purpose, she could only manage a couple of awkward laughs.
He Jiayu suppressed her disdain for Zhao Qin, sighed softly, and expressed her regret, "I was thinking that you might have encountered some difficulties and I wanted to lend a helping hand, but since you didn't say anything, then I can't help you."
Zhao Qin's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Miss He, really? Are you telling the truth?" She gripped the car door anxiously, her heart aching at the thought of Tan Donglin covered in blood.
"My good-for-nothing son has racked up huge debts, and the debt collectors have come to our house. My son's fate is now unknown!"
As Zhao Qin spoke of this, she burst into tears, "That little bitch Wen Jinye has grown too big for her britches. She's been eating my family's food for so many years without caring about her cousin's life or death. My husband is asking her for money, but I don't know if he'll get away with it. I'm desperate. Can you have pity on me and give me some money? I'd be willing to be your slave!"
He Jiayu felt utterly disgusted.
Who would want this country bumpkin to be their slave?
Looking at someone with tears streaming down their face is disgusting.
However, He Jiayu was quite satisfied with her unreasonable and argumentative nature.
She had only wanted to compete with Wen Jinye before.
I haven't compared them.
So now all that's left is pure hatred.
If you can't live a good life yourself, you can't stand seeing Wen Jin also living a successful life.
He Jiayu narrowed her eyes. "Let's talk in the car."

Wen Jin also carefully considered what to say to Shen Jinzhao.
But they were all deleted out of unease.
Even as a journalist, she found it difficult to find a suitable way to explain all these seemingly unrelated things.
Would she find it absurd and presumptuous?
Thinking of this, Wen Jin decided to talk to Shen Jinzhao in person.
She arranged to meet Shen Jinzhao that evening.
Shen Jinzhao had a night out tonight, and Wen Jin also came to Song Zaicheng's bar to find her.
After finishing her energetic dance, Shen Jinzhao walked off the stage amidst cheers from the crowd.
She walked straight to the table where Wen Jinye was sitting. "Have you been waiting long? What's wrong that made you so anxious on WeChat?"
Wen Jin hesitated for a moment before getting straight to the point: "Jinzhao, may I take another look at the necklace your mother left you?"
Shen Jinzhao looked surprised and confused, but did as instructed.
He blankly took off the chain and handed it to Wen Jinye's palm.
"This chain isn't actually worth much, but it's valuable because of its symbolism. The person who made this chain was an old craftsman."
Wen Jin also stroked the patterns on the necklace, which still retained the warmth of Shen Jinzhao's body.
The necklace was almost identical to the one Tan Guohao had shown to Wen Jinye in an instant.
Wen Jin bit her lip, suppressing the tremor in her heart. "Jinzhao, is this necklace unique in the world? Are there only two? One is your mother's, and the other is your aunt whom you've never met?"
Shen Jinzhao took a sip of wine, not quite understanding why Wen Jinye was suddenly so fixated on these things.
"That's how it was back then. But later, with the development of various niche accessories, similar necklaces appeared on the market. I even saw one in a tourist area before. However, it was engraved with my mother's and aunt's birthdays. They are fraternal twins. My grandmother said that they not only don't look alike, but their personalities are also completely different."
"My mother is rather introverted, while my aunt is lively and outgoing."
By the dim light, Shen Jinchao leaned closer and pointed to the necklace for Wen Jinye to see, "It's right here, you can't see it unless you look closely."
Wen Jinye's heart sank slightly.
In other words—
The necklace that Tan Guohao showed her was very likely just something he bought on a whim, and she couldn't tell the difference at a glance.
It was all just a coincidence.
