◎From Fraud to Anti-Fraud◎
Chapter 25
Yu Keke: ???
Her mind was racing for a moment, and she was a little confused about what the system meant.
After a while, she said uncertainly and tactfully: [So, the so-called "special nature" party you are referring to is not what I thought... the kind of multi-person sports, right? ]
[Why not imagine it boldly again. ] The system encouraged, [In fact, it is not just multi-person sports, the vast majority of people participating in the party are special enthusiasts. ]
Yu Keke: !!!
She gasped in her heart, and her eyes lit up unconsciously: [... Awesome! Isn't that a feast for the eyes, a grand scene! ]
System: [That is indeed a "grand scene" that you can never imagine. 】
Just when Yu Keke was getting interested and wanted to ask for details, she saw the second female lead of the Jiuhua crew in front of her smiling at her.
After introducing herself, she said in a gentle and friendly voice: "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have been so rash to call Miss Yu. I just didn't expect such a coincidence to meet here, so I couldn't help but speak."
Lu Xiangqin: "Miss Yu, you won't mind, right?"
Not knowing what she wanted to do, Yu Keke looked at her eyes with a deep smile, looking at them with a favorable impression, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Is it her illusion? I always feel that this person in front of her, whether it is the gestures or the tone of voice, seems to be deliberately showing closeness to her and winning her favor.
Yu Keke's eyes flickered, and she smiled and said warmly: "Of course not, what do you want?"
"Actually, nothing." Lu Xiangqin waved her hands at first, but seeing that Yu Keke didn't respond, she coughed again, revealing an expression of wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, "Miss Yu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."
Yu Keke said "Oh" slowly, and made a very natural gesture of listening.
Lu Xiangqin said: "..."
Why did she feel that the real Yu Keke was different from the image she had heard?
She didn't look like someone who was easy to deal with.
Unable to get her to follow up, Lu Xiangqin gritted her teeth and could only speak again: "It's not that I don't want to say it, I just feel a little embarrassed. In fact, I only noticed you after you were on the hot search that day, especially between you, Miss Yu, and Wen Xue..."
"It seems like there's something wrong." She said tactfully, paused, and joked with her, "So now that I see you, I can't help but have a good impression of you. Miss Yu, you won't think I'm too weird, right?"
There is some technical content in what she said.
Yu Keke raised her pretty eyebrows slightly, and showed a puzzled expression at the right time: "I don't quite understand what you mean. Is there any grudge between Miss Wen and me?"
"That's not what I meant. Look at what I said." Lu Xiangqin didn't mind her denial. She waved her hand and apologized embarrassedly, "I am a bit straightforward. I can't help but say whatever I think. It's really easy to offend people."
As if she really didn't mean it, she just gave a simple explanation and didn't mention what happened just now again.
Then she smiled at Yu Keke and said sincerely: "Actually, I just think you are very kind, Miss Yu, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of some people including me."
Lu Xiangqin: "Of course, I also admire your character, Miss Yu. If possible, I hope to make friends with you."
She behaved very naturally and generously throughout the whole process, as if she really just wanted to get to know Yu Keke. However, her words hinted that she was actually a victim of the Wen Xue incident.
And what's interesting is that she also mentioned other people who were suspected to be victims. It seems that they all know each other, so they hope that she can express gratitude to Yu Keke as a representative.
Isn't this just treating her like a fool?
Yu Keke couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Putting aside whether there really are other victims who have a crush on her, this encounter is just too coincidental.
Besides, the person in front of her is the second female lead of "Jiuhua", and the heroine is Wen Xue, who is favored by investors.
If she has really been bullied by Wen Xue, and happened to be in the same crew with her, she should be scared.
He actually dared to talk to her openly in such an occasion and implicitly expressed his dislike for Wen Xue to her. Isn't he worried that Wen Xue will appear here?
Yu Keke pointed fingers in her heart: [Beware of fraud, starting with me.]
System: [You guessed right, her purpose is actually to gain your trust and trick you into a special party.]
Yu Keke:?!
When you say this, I get excited.
[Special party? Is she related to this party too? 】She reacted quickly,【So she has connections with investors, and is the one responsible for pimping?】
System:【Correct.】
【Lu Xiangqin is in charge of the connections of the special party. In addition to those who come voluntarily, some people are deceived by her or brought in through threats.】It explained,【Anyone who participates will leave a handle, and the investors will also gain fame and fortune.】
Yu Keke:【Huh, that's really an eye-opener.】
...and so on.
She reacted again:【So you mean, I am her next target? I will soon have the opportunity to see the big scene, right?】
System:【Emm, this understanding is not wrong. 】
So, Lu Xiangqin suddenly found that Yu Keke, who she originally thought was very difficult to deal with, suddenly set her eyes on her.
The originally slightly careless eyes now became extremely focused.
Especially when she was stared at by her beautiful and clear eyes without blinking, Lu Xiangqin inexplicably felt a chill on her back, and always felt that her smiling face was particularly unfathomable.
For a moment, she even felt that she had been seen through by Yu Keke, and that she knew her dirty thoughts.
This feeling of uncertainty was really terrible.
The template-like friendly smile on Lu Xiangqin's face couldn't help but freeze. In this embarrassing mood, she subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but fortunately her reason forced her to stop.
Is this the information provided by Wen Xue?
Didn't she say that Yu Keke was a weak and easily bullied person, and would be fooled immediately by anyone who coaxed her?
Who did she ask? Did that person have a grudge against her and hated her for a long time, so he deliberately spread this fake news?
It was obvious that this guy was not the soft persimmon that was easy to pinch before!
Lu Xiangqin was used to doing this kind of thing.
Every time, she would deliberately pick new people who were beautiful, simple and easy to deceive, and then use her friendly appearance and personality to successfully gain their dependence and closeness, and finally trick them into special parties step by step.
By then, if they left a handle, they would have no choice but to regret it.
However, she did not expect that this time she encountered a slippery road.
Lu Xiangqin couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
She suddenly remembered the rumor on the Internet that she had reported the assistant director of the crew.
The assistant director of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually a member of their special party. Naturally, they all know that he often likes to use casting as an excuse to cheat young artists.
If it was really Yu Keke who reported him, it means that she is definitely not the fool that Wen Xue said.
However, when she tentatively asked Wen Xue, Wen Xue impatiently confirmed that it was definitely a rumor, and she was relieved at the time.
But now -
she is uneasy: Is their plan really reliable? Don't let the wolf enter the house?
"Actually, I also think you look very friendly, not only in appearance but also in character, you look like an elder."
As if she had sensed Lu Xiangqin's retreat, Yu Keke suddenly smiled, held her hand, and said sincerely: "Can I call you Sister Lu?"
Lu Xiangqin, who was forcibly held: "..."
She hesitated for a moment, and for a moment she was not sure whether she was being sarcastic or really praising her.
But confused by her particularly friendly tone, Lu Xiangqin hesitated for a while, thought of her plan, and nodded: "Of course, then I will call you Keke too?"
Yu Keke agreed readily, and took out her mobile phone to exchange contact information with her.
This has always been Lu Xiangqin's way of getting close to others. Unexpectedly, she turned the tables and was thrown off by Yu Keke. She gave her her contact information without her noticing and arranged to meet next time.
Yu Keke smiled and waved to her: "It's getting late now. I have to attend a dinner party. Sister Lu, your crew should also be looking for you. See you next time?"
Lu Xiangqin waved to her subconsciously, and only when she saw Yu Keke turn around and go into the private room without any reluctance did she wonder in confusion: Wait, what was she trying to do before?
- Get close to Yu Keke.
So now... it seems that her goal has been achieved?
Lu Xiangqin thought about it carefully, and didn't think there was anything wrong, so she suppressed her frustration, put away her phone and returned to her own box.
Then when she saw the investor looking at her, she nodded calmly. Seeing
her confident expression, the smile on the investor's face suddenly deepened.
Wen Xue, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be aloof and didn't care, but when she caught a glimpse of this scene, she lowered her eyes.
...
Because of a little episode in the middle, when Yu Keke found the box again, everyone had indeed arrived, and she was the only one left.
She raised her eyes and scanned the seats.
Lu Chong and Chu Xue were sitting together, and Director Zhou was sitting next to Ji Linghan.
There was a seat between Ji Linghan and Li Xinrui, which was obviously left empty for her.
Yu Keke: [Tsk tsk, this position is arranged very subtly.]
The system commented very experiencedly: [Not only the position, but also the atmosphere between the hero and heroine, just like the empty position, is very subtle.]
Because of what it said, Yu Keke couldn't help but take another look.
Sure enough, she found that Ji Linghan seemed to be talking to Director Zhou, nodding from time to time, but his eyes were always vaguely looking at Li Xinrui next to him.
Li Xinrui frowned slightly, tensed up and kept stroking her phone, not noticing Ji Linghan's gaze at all.
Or, it seemed that she was angry and didn't want to look him in the eye.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, and it turned out that her innocent face had a bit of momentum.
The air between them seemed to be close yet distant, but in fact it was as heavy and far away as thousands of mountains and rivers.
It was indeed subtle.
While Yu Keke was savoring it carefully, Li Xinrui seemed to notice the gaze at the door and raised her head suddenly. When
their eyes met, Li Xinrui, who had originally pursed her lips into a line, suddenly smiled and waved at her: "Sister Keke, here, here."
Because of her movement, everyone's attention was attracted.
Ji Linghan's eyes also swept over, a little complicated.
Yu Keke raised her pretty eyebrows and walked over slowly, but she ignored the empty seat beside Ji Linghan and walked to the other side of Li Xinrui: "There should be no one here, right?"
Li Xinrui was stunned for a moment, not only did she not look embarrassed, but she was actually happy.
She shook her head quickly: "No, I reserved the seat for Sister Keke."
"As expected, you understand me, thank you."
Yu Keke immediately sat down with peace of mind. When she looked up, she saw that it was Chu Xue who happened to be sitting opposite her, and she winked at her sweetly. Chu
Xue couldn't help but curl her lips, and the cold and mature face of the beauty became a little softer, which made Lu Chong almost unable to look away.
Then, he didn't know what he thought of, and he cast a slightly resentful look at Yu Keke again.
Ever since he knew that Yu Keke had discovered his secret, Lu Chong didn't know whether he had been holding it in for too long or he just wanted to give up, but he was too lazy to hide his little thoughts in front of her.
Yu Keke couldn't help but point fingers: [He doesn't dare to show it, how can he have the nerve to irritate me?]
System: [So he only dares to do this.]
And seeing that Li Xinrui couldn't help but lower her head with red ears because of the words "understand me".
Ji Linghan tightened his hands on the table, and the subtle feeling in his heart became heavier.
He took a deep breath silently and smiled faintly: "Keke, are you still angry with me? Why are you sitting there on purpose?"
Yu Keke didn't even turn her head: "Because I'm angry."
Already used to her way of choking, Ji Linghan was not angry, but apologized to her again: "Sorry, Keke, it's my fault for involving you."
Because there was Li Xinrui in between, the words he originally wanted to say inevitably became evasive: "I originally wanted to come to see you after that day, but I didn't expect that brother...we had some conflicts, and it was not until now that I finally have time to apologize to you."
Li Xinrui's heart moved.
Could it be that Ji Linghan's elder brother is the one who always suppresses him?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, she heard Yu Keke on the left slowly say, "Huh? You also saw Ji Jingye helping me."
Her beautiful eyes were smiling, and she held her chin and said softly, "But I really didn't expect him to act so quickly and let the legal team come out. I was also quite surprised at the time."
Li Xinrui: "...cough."
She couldn't help but cough awkwardly, and quickly retracted her not-so-good guess.
Since he helped Sister Keke, he must be a good person.
Ji Linghan: "..."
Unexpectedly, Yu Keke, who always resisted and hated Ji Jingye, actually showed undisguised admiration this time, and his face sank slightly.
It was just this time. Just because Ji Jingye reacted faster this time and took action before him, would she also switch sides?
He said lightly: "Yes, I was indeed surprised. After all, big brother doesn't seem like someone who would help. Maybe it was the old man who saw it and called the legal team."
Yu Keke: "Oh."
Seeing her noncommittal look, Ji Linghan's throat tightened, and he actually had a subtle sense of urgency.
He frowned, and a little fatigue appeared on his handsome face at the right time: "After all, during that time, big brother was sending people to check on me, and I thought he shouldn't have time to look elsewhere."
Yu Keke's ears moved: [He is not talking about my second uncle secretly checking on him, right? 】
System: 【He just noticed something and was wondering if the villain knew what he was doing in private. But he was indeed on guard against him during this period, so he didn't have time to come. 】
Yu Keke: 【If Ji Jingye really knew about it...】
The system was also a little worried: 【Yeah, we don't know what will happen——】
【It must be very exciting, right? 】
She slowly added the second half of the sentence.
System: 【? Do you still remember that you are here to save the world? 】
【Of course I remember. But think about it, if Ji Jingye really knew about this and dealt with Ji Linghan in advance, can he continue to turn evil? 】Yu Keke's tone was sincere, 【Besides, that's the male protagonist and the villain. The two of them started the business war fighting mode in advance. Don't you want to watch such an exciting scene? 】
System: [……]
If it doesn't lead to mission failure -
it made an honest voice: [I want to see! ]
The tone was simply a firm determination to join the party.
After reaching a consensus, Yu Keke instantly found Ji Linghan more pleasing to the eye: "Really? That must be uncomfortable, right?"
Not knowing what she was thinking, Ji Linghan only felt that her attitude seemed to soften a little.
So his originally tense face relaxed a little, and he smiled lightly: "But I'm used to it, it's okay."
Li Xinrui suddenly picked up a piece of food with a serving chopstick and put it in Yu Keke's bowl, and coughed slightly stiffly: "Sister Keke, try this, it's delicious."
Yu Keke's attention was diverted, and she picked up the chopsticks with interest: "Really? Then I'll try it."
Ji Linghan: "..."
He slowly met Li Xinrui's seemingly unintentional glance, wanted to say something, and fell silent again.
Everyone at the table seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere here, and cast vague glances.
Lu Chong hesitated, looked at Chu Xue beside him, and then looked at Yu Keke. In the end, he quietly made a gesture to her, silently asking her if she wanted to switch to their side.
Chu Xue also nodded slightly to her.
Yu Keke smiled at them, and after refusing frankly, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: [Sure enough, there are still a lot of good people.]
System: [You obviously just want to watch the excitement up close.]
Yu Keke: [Don't mention it, it's really exciting.]
And Ji Jingye, after hearing their conversation, realized that she had met Ji Linghan again.
His signing hand paused slightly, and his eyes were cold.
...Ji Linghan went to find her again?
Ji Jingye lowered his eyes indifferently, hiding the hostility in his eyes.
Looking at his name on the document, he thought slowly: It seems that this waste is really too idle.
————
After the apology banquet, Ji Linghan took his leave and never showed up again.
But Yu Keke didn't care, her attention was completely focused elsewhere.
After exchanging contact information with her, Lu Xiangqin really showed a lot of initiative.
Especially after the "Jiuhua" crew was also filming nearby and staying in the same hotel, Lu Xiangqin looked for her even more diligently.
After a while, as if she noticed that Yu Keke was gradually getting close to her, in order to gain her further trust, Lu Xiangqin brought up the topic of Wen Xue again.
"Keke, do you remember what I told you before, why I have a good impression of you?"
Yu Keke was free at the moment, and when she heard her say that, she knew there was gossip to listen to.
She immediately took the pillow and put it in her arms, and took out a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate, and pretended to listen to the story: "Sister Lu, you tell me."
Lu Xiangqin's expression froze, and she was at a loss for words by her overly skilled behavior.
But after hesitating for a moment, she continued to speak at her own pace: "Actually, I was really straightforward that day, because I felt that you were too happy, so I couldn't help but say that, and I definitely didn't mean to hurt you."
Yu Keke drank a sip of juice and asked with interest: "Oh? Tell me in detail?"
Seeing that she was really interested, Lu Xiangqin immediately told her about her and Wen Xue.
She had been giving me a cold shoulder since the first time they met; and because she thought I was easy to bully, she was always assigned to run errands.
Later, even Wen Xue forced her to do things like fabricating black material to discredit other stars in order to compete for resources. She even threatened that if she didn't do it, she would never be able to get along in the circle in the future...
She spoke pitifully, and her words were inflammatory, making people feel sympathetic.
Yu Keke was naturally the same.
So she ate a few pieces of watermelon with great enthusiasm, and kept responding with a sincere tone.
"No way, really?"
"How could she do that? It's really too much."
"Oh, Sister Lu, you are really pitiful."
The system also commented enthusiastically: [What she said is true, but it's a bit exaggerated. 】
【This matter belongs to someone else, but she has put the blame on herself, but it is indeed Wen Xue who did it. 】 【
There is such a thing? Oh no, it is fake, purely made up. 】
Lu Xiangqin had no idea that a system was digging her out, and she was acting very well. She
seemed to be stimulated by Yu Keke's every response, and her response was well-placed, which especially hit her point. Lu Xiangqin wanted to make her a confidant, and could not help but burst out with the desire to confide, and even revealed all the other things she knew about Wen Xue.
At the end, she complained sincerely: "You don't know how difficult Wen Xue is to please. She always pretends to be a goddess. She seems to disdain being praised by others, but she is not..."
Realizing that something was wrong, Lu Xiangqin almost bit her tongue and forcibly stopped the dangerous topic.
When Yu Keke glanced at her curiously, she smiled stiffly: "What I mean is, she is really good at pretending. She looks down on this and that all day long. Isn't it just because she is a lady? As a result, she has been abandoned a long time ago."
The last part of the sentence was somewhat personal.
Compared with the previous ones, the emotions were obviously much more real.
Yu Keke pretended not to hear her almost let the cat out of the bag, and said indignantly: "This kind of person is really something, how can she be like this? It's too much, then there is no way to punish her?!"
Hearing her truly angry questioning, Lu Xiangqin also sighed deeply.
She was about to shake her head, but suddenly remembered her purpose, so she forced it back and almost twisted her neck.
She resisted the urge to grin, took a deep breath, and held Yu Keke's hand with gratitude: "Keke, so I... I--"
Lu Xiangqin lowered her head stiffly, looking at her hands stained with watermelon juice, and her eyelids couldn't help twitching.
Damn, confidant... Is Yu Keke poisonous? !
Yu Keke uttered a soft "ah" and pulled back her hand as if a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't expect you to be so sudden, I didn't have time to wipe my hands."
Lu Xiangqin's true feelings were stuck in her throat, and she choked, then she said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's true that I was too impulsive, haha."
Yu Keke took out a wet towel and vowed: "Don't worry, next time I will definitely not choose to eat melons, I will change to melon seeds, so I won't disturb you."
Lu Xiangqin: "..."
Although listening to her words always feels very subtle, but facing Yu Keke's sincere and clear almond eyes, Lu Xiangqin always chooses to believe her.
She is just too naive to say nice things, what's wrong with that? Obviously, this is easier to deceive and achieve your own goals!
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangqin's mood finally calmed down. She took the wet towel she handed over and quickly wiped her hands: "It's okay, it's my problem. You shouldn't mind it."
Yu Keke's tone became more sincere: "How could it be? Sister Lu, you are so nice. I like you so much."
Lu Xiangqin was immediately inspired by this.
Sure enough, after her confession, Yu Keke really started to get close to her!
Seeing Lu Xiangqin's happy smile, the system couldn't help but complain slowly: [I seem to have seen the whole process from fraud to anti-fraud. Are scammers so easy to fool these days? ]
[What are you talking about? I really like her. Yu Keke remained calm, [Not only is she good at gossiping, she also performs well and speaks well. Such a person is rare.]
Yu Keke: "By the way, Sister Lu, what did you want to say next?" When
she asked this, Lu Xiangqin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Actually, I wanted to say--"
This time she looked carefully and found that Yu Keke's hands were clean, so she held her hands again and said sincerely: "That's why we want to thank you, Keke. Although you didn't say it, we all know that it was you who exposed Wen Xue's affairs."
Yu Keke raised her eyebrows: "Sister Lu, you may have misunderstood..."
"I know you don't want to admit it, it doesn't matter, you don't have to say it, as long as we remember that it was you who saved us." Lu Xiangqin abruptly interrupted her denial, her tone firm, "You don't know, when I was forced to do those things, my conscience was really destroyed, and that's why I got to know people who have had the same experiences."
"But we had no way to fight back and could only survive under Wen Xue's oppression. Until you, Keke, showed up, we saw hope. It turned out that there was someone who was not afraid of power and resolutely chose to expose Wen Xue's affairs."
Lu Xiangqin said sincerely, "You don't need to feel too burdened. We just want to express our gratitude. Keke, you just need to accept it."
Yu Keke's eyelashes trembled: [Oh, she was so exaggerated in this performance. I have goosebumps.]
System: [She was about to collapse because of you, so she was eager to end this performance?]
Yu Keke: [? I won't take the blame for this. 】
So, under the expectant gaze of the woman opposite, she cleared her throat and said slowly: "Oh."
Lu Xiangqin: "......?"
Her expression froze, and she didn't even react to what she said.
"Oh", just an "oh"?
She wasted so much time trying to make her feel the same way, and constantly praised her to make her confident and believe in herself completely - the result was just an "oh"? ?
Lu Xiangqin's face suddenly became angry.
She took a deep breath silently, calmed down her emotions for a long time, and then asked with a forced smile: "Keke, your reaction is a little too cold? Did I say something wrong?"
Yu Keke blinked and said sincerely: "No, it may be because I have a little social anxiety and don't know how to respond. Didn't I just accept it because you said it's OK, Sister Lu?"
Lu Xiangqin was half-believing and half-doubting, and couldn't help but waver between her lying and perfunctory and believing her. Finally, thinking of her confession just now, Yu Keke obviously listened sincerely, and she was inclined to believe it.
So she asked tentatively: "So that's the case, then, Keke, do you believe what I said?"
Yu Keke nodded very sincerely, and said firmly: "Of course I believe it."
Then, the two people in the room smiled at each other at the same time: Great, it's finally done.
Author's words:
Lu Xiangqin: Great, I finally fooled her
Yu Keke: Great, I finally fooled her
