Chapter 025 The Twenty-fifth Melon
"Awen, do you know something?"
The agent looked at Zhou Minwen worriedly.
She and Zhou Minwen entered the industry at the same time, one as an agent and the other as a star. Their relationship is better than that of sisters. The agent is not worried about anything else but is worried that something will really happen to Zhou Minwen.
Zhou Minwen opened her mouth slightly, and felt her throat dry, as if a blade had scraped it. She grabbed her skirt and shook her head, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. It must be an accident. Yes, it must be an accident."
Gu Xicao stirred the coffee and looked at Zhou Minwen's shocked and unbelieving expression. She was not surprised at all, nor did she think it was ridiculous that Zhou Minwen was deceiving herself.
"Ms. Zhou, is this an accident? You know very well that the man asked you to go on a trip and repeatedly said that he would go with you alone. Don't you think it's weird?"
"Travel? Awen, recently you have only talked about traveling with your sister..."
The agent turned his head and looked at Zhou Minwen. When he said this, she suddenly reacted, her pupils contracted, and her face turned pale: "Is she Awen's sister?!"
"That's right."
Gu Xicao nodded, "The one who wanted her life was her sister Zhou Minzhu."
The agent felt as if she was hallucinating. If this master wasn't so powerful, and if Awen's face wasn't so ugly, she would never believe what this master said.
"Master, could there be a misunderstanding? Her sister wouldn't do such a thing. Awen is her biological sister, and they depend on each other for survival. Ever since Awen's parents died in a car accident, it was Awen who supported the family and paid for her sister's education."
The agent almost leaned on the table, staring straight at Gu Xicao, hoping that Gu Xicao would change her words.
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Minwen, who looked pale. "Miss Zhou, you two are not newcomers to society. Don't you know the saying that a pinch of kindness can bring resentment? Miss Zhou, haven't you and your sister been quarreling a lot recently?"
"Yes, but, but she has told me that she knows she is wrong."
Zhou Minwen's lips were trembling and her eyes were red. "It's common for sisters to quarrel. I'm so good to Zhuzhu, and we are sisters. Why would she hurt me? Is it just because we quarreled a few times?!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.
The waiter looked over here a few times. The agent was afraid that Zhou Minwen's identity would be discovered, so he hurriedly pulled Zhou Minwen's sleeve and lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down, Awen, this kind of thing may not be true."
"Ms. Zhou thinks it's a quarrel, but your sister may not think so."
Gu Xicao didn't want to have her reputation ruined, and she didn't want to see Zhou Minwen being plotted against, so she got straight to the point and asked, "Are you stopping your sister from entering the entertainment industry?"
Zhou Minwen was stunned, paused in taking the tissue, and looked at Gu Xicao with wide eyes: "You, you figured it out? Yes, I stopped her from entering the entertainment industry. I wanted her to go to college, and if that doesn't work, she can find another job. But is she going to kill me just because of this?"
"Your sister thinks you're jealous of her,"
Gu Xicao bent her fingers and tapped the table. "You are jealous that she is young and prettier than you, and you don't want to see her get rich, so you don't let her enter the entertainment industry, but you make a fortune in the entertainment industry yourself."
The word "ridiculous" was written all over the agent's face.
"There is money in the entertainment industry, but is it that easy to make money in the entertainment industry? Ah Wen has to work so hard for a role. Not only does she have to drink with those stinky men, but she also has to be..."
"Ali, stop talking!" Zhou Minwen grabbed her agent's hand, interrupted her, and spoke in a shrill voice.
The agent felt quite sorry when he saw Zhou Minwen's expression.
She lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "In any case, it's not easy for a woman to make a name for herself in this circle. Ah Wen was kind enough to support her studies, but she actually thought so much about Ah Wen."
“So, this is why people think differently.”
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Minwen sympathetically. The Hong Kong entertainment industry was full of corruption these days. If a female star wanted to make a name for herself and make money, the life she led would not be a normal life. "She thought she was doing it for her sister's good, and she even threatened her sister, forcing her sister to find a job or go to college, otherwise she would not support her sister. But in her sister's eyes, her elder sister had cut off her path to wealth, and was going to kick her out of the house and marry a man. So, her sister wanted to take the initiative and take the opportunity of traveling to Thailand with Miss Zhou to kill Miss Zhou so that she could inherit Miss Zhou's estate and the insurance compensation."
Zhou Minwen shuddered all over and her scalp felt numb.
"Insurance compensation..."
"Yes." Gu Xicao took a sip of coffee and nodded, "She had already thought about buying you a large insurance policy for this trip. This way, she can live a comfortable life without working, just relying on the insurance compensation and the inheritance you leave behind."
Zhou Minwen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
She was usually smart and capable, and could always think of ways to overcome difficulties no matter who was trying to make things difficult for her. But when she heard what Gu Xicao said, she was completely stunned.
"Why does she treat Awen like this?!"
The manager was shocked and angry: "Before, she leaked the news about Awen to the paparazzi, but we didn't bother with her!"
"Paparazzi?" Zhou Minwen came back to her senses and stared at her agent blankly.
The agent felt heartbroken when she saw Zhou Minwen like this. She wiped Zhou Minwen's tears with a tissue and said, "Awen, yes, it was she who told the paparazzi about your dinner with Mr. Xu. I have never dared to tell you this, but now, I think you should know."
Gu Xicao also knew about this.
A while ago, there was a report in the newspaper that Zhou Minwen accompanied a wealthy man for late-night supper. Mrs. Liang and others also said that Zhou Minwen looked very honest, but she didn't expect that she was actually a mistress.
But unexpectedly, the news was released by her sister.
"Thank you, Master Gu. If it weren't for you, Awen would have been really screwed this time."
The agent wrote a check and handed it to Gu Xicao. He stood by the car door and looked at Gu Xicao gratefully.
Gu Xicao waved her hand: "You're welcome. The money Miss Zhou gave me is enough."
In the back seat of the Mercedes, Zhou Minwen had put on sunglasses to hide her red eyes from crying. She said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, Master Gu, please accept it. After all, my life is worth more than a few hundred yuan."
Gu Xicao thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll promote your new work to the neighbors later. The movie you're shooting now will definitely be a big hit."
Hearing this, Zhou Minwen smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words. I will give you movie tickets later."
Watching the car drive away, Gu Xicao looked at the check. It was a full 50,000 yuan, which was not a small amount.
Zhou Minwen is a very caring person. She donates money to welfare homes in private and keeps herself clean in normal times. So although she looks very glamorous, she actually has no more than 300,000 yuan in savings.
The 50,000 yuan shows sincerity.
"Look at this skirt, isn't it nice? How does it match with this bag?"
As soon as they opened the door of their house, Zhou Minwen and her agent heard Zhou Minzhu's boastful and proud voice.
Several female classmates looked at Zhou Minzhu's clothes with envy and jealousy. Among all their classmates, Zhou Minzhu's family was the best. She had a female celebrity sister. Not only did she have no worries about food and clothing, but she could also dress up beautifully, wearing branded skirts and using branded bags.
Others have already either gone out to find a job or are studying hard to get into college.
"Minzhu, your sister is back."
A female classmate saw Zhou Minwen and her agent and quickly spoke up to remind Zhou Minzhu.
Zhou Minzhu looked back with a surprised look in her eyes: "Sister Jia, Sister Li, didn't you have something to do today? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Zhou Minwen's eyes swept across Zhou Minzhu's clothes and purse.
This dress and purse were both newly bought by her, prepared to be used on the show, but now the tags have been removed and there are wrinkles on the skirt, obviously Zhou Minzhu has worn it for some time.
"No, I'll be back soon after I deal with it."
Zhou Minwen's voice was a little hoarse. She looked at her agent and said, "Ali, please go in and help me clean up."
"Okay." The agent nodded and walked into the second bedroom.
"Minzhu, since your sister is back, we'll leave first and make an appointment next time."
Several female classmates felt a little embarrassed and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Zhou Minzhu was very dissatisfied, "Why are you leaving? My sister will leave soon. It won't affect our fun, right, sister?"
She raised her chin proudly and looked at Zhou Minwen, waiting for Zhou Minwen to indulge her as always, and also waiting for the envious eyes of her classmates.
Apart from her, who else in their school can live such a good life?
She enjoys air conditioning at home every day, has an aunt who cooks for her and takes care of her, and her sister often gives her pocket money.
"No, I have something to do today, and it's not suitable for outsiders to be at home."
Zhou Minwen's answer was like a slap in Zhou Minzhu's face.
The smug smile on Zhou Minzhu's face suddenly froze, and she looked at Zhou Minwen in surprise.
"you……"
"Minzhu, I think we should leave first. We can come to your house to play later."
Zhou Minzhu didn't know how to read people's faces, but the other female classmates were not blind. Zhou Minwen was clearly in a bad mood, and it was really inconsiderate of her to still stay in someone else's house at this time. So after saying this, several people quickly got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Minwen politely escorted them out and closed the door. As soon as she turned around, Zhou Minzhu angrily threw her purse at Zhou Minwen: "What are you doing? I finally invited this group of friends to the party, and you come to spoil the fun. Didn't you say before that as long as I'm happy, you'll do whatever I say?"
The bag fell in front of Zhou Minwen with a thud.
Zhou Minwen took a look at the bag, squatted down to pick it up without saying a word, patted the dust off it, turned around and walked towards the second bedroom.
She didn't even want to say a word to Zhou Minzhu now.
Zhou Minzhu's classmates could all see that something was wrong with her, but her sister seemed to have seen nothing, or even if she had seen anything, she didn't care.
"Stop! Are you deaf? You can't hear me talking to you?!"
Seeing that Zhou Minwen ignored her, Zhou Minzhu became more and more angry. She felt that her elder sister relied on her own money and did not give her, her younger sister, any face at all.
Zhou Minwen stopped and turned around. She looked at Zhou Minzhu. At that moment, she remembered that when she was seventeen, their parents died in a car accident. On that day, Zhou Minzhu was only ten years old and cried bitterly. She had to deal with the funeral of her parents and comfort her younger sister. At that time, they were so poor that they only had a few hundred yuan left. They could only buy one urn. They had no food to eat after one meal. They had to go door to door to borrow money from relatives for their younger sister's tuition.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she would work hard to earn money so that she and her sister could live a good life without worries about food and clothing.
But seventeen-year-old Zhou Minwen never imagined that one day, after living such a good life, her younger sister would want to kill her.
