Chapter 706: The Stepmother (10)
The children mingled with the other children in the village, and they also got along well with the villagers. Chen Kai and Liu Zihua even started playing drinking games with the villagers, learning the rules on the spot. They drank tea, and the villagers drank alcohol, after all, they still had to take care of the children, and as celebrities, they couldn't drink in public.
Wen Wan and the other women in the village started chatting about everyday things. The village wasn't without internet access, and as they chatted, they suddenly started talking about her deceased husband.
"Qianqian, is your husband that billionaire?"
Everyone else was stunned.
Everyone looked at Wen Wan, who nodded. "Yes! It's just a pity that we can't continue."
Wen Wan looked sad.
Then the others started frantically comforting Wen Wan. In fact, Wen Wan wasn't sad at all, but she naturally appeared heartbroken.
Wen Wan eventually changed the subject, and the person who asked the question realized he had misspoke and apologized to Wen Wan several times, but Wen Wan didn't take it to heart.
At the end of the day, we had a meal with the villagers. They all brought out dishes from their homes, and several tables were like a banquet. Except for Xiaotuanzi, all the children sat at the same table with the village children, scrambling to eat. Not a single child was picky about food. Even Beibei, the pickiest eater, was afraid that if she was too slow, there would be no food left. Perhaps she thought it tasted better when it was in her hands.
Adults, please don't be shy here either.
After dinner, everyone chatted until ten o'clock before going home to sleep.
Qiao Xiaoya was so sleepy that she dozed off on the bed without even taking a shower. In the end, Wen Wan brought her water to wipe her body and change her into pajamas. Then she took a quick shower before going to sleep.
...
The next morning, they finished filming the first episode and went home, exchanging contact information with each other.
Wen Wan took Qiao Xiaoya back to her home.
She even got a free meal. Wen Wan realized that Gu's mother really had no ill intentions towards her. She even thought she had been petty before. How could the protagonist's mother be like the ones in melodramatic dramas?
Moreover, Wen Wan felt that the way Gu's mother looked at her even carried a hint of maternal affection.
Based on her age, she was a few years younger than Gu's mother's son, and she was indeed old enough to be his daughter.
Even Gu's mother looked down on her ex-husband.
She even complained to Wen Wan, who joined in the complaints. Although the original owner had the idea of marrying into a higher social class, it was truly outrageous that Gu's father, an old man in his fifties or sixties, would take a liking to a student girl, who was also his first love's daughter.
It's a good thing she died young, otherwise Wen Wan would have been even more disgusting.
"I just feel sorry for you. He's dead, and he's still holding you back. But you can still pursue your own happiness in the future. There's no need to confine yourself to the Gu family. You're still young, and you have a long future ahead of you."
Wen Wan: "Don't worry, sis, I'm not stupid. I have money and free time now, and I'll definitely find a younger guy to date in the future."
Mother Gu chuckled.
Gu Qian left his mother's house and then returned to the Gu family home.
Gu Qian wasn't home. Well, he had just inherited the Gu Group and must be extremely busy right now, facing both internal and external troubles.
Soon her agent called to ask about some things and wanted to get her some work, but Wen Wan refused. After all, filming one episode was already quite tiring, and she would have to continue filming the second and third episodes. She didn't want to be exhausted.
The agent didn't insist.
"It's okay. Once the show airs and you become famous, you'll definitely have better opportunities."
Gu Qian washed up and went to bed.
I slept for a whole day and didn't wake up until late at night.
She woke up feeling like a lost soul, rummaging through the kitchen. Fortunately, the nanny had left her a lot of food before leaving.
Then I just heated it up a bit and started eating.
The lights weren't even on the whole time; he just stuffed food into his mouth like a little squirrel.
"What are you doing?" The sudden voice startled Wen Wan. She looked up and saw that it was Gu Qian who had returned.
With food still in her mouth, she said, "You must be tired from work. Have you eaten? I just heated up a lot."
Gu Qian didn't know why he nodded, but he did it on a whim.
Then Wen Wan got him a bowl of rice and started eating. Gu Qian watched and asked, "Doesn't your production team provide meals?"
"We're too poor. Why don't you invest in this show, Mr. Gu? I think it'll definitely be a hit. Besides, your sister is suffering with me on the show. You wouldn't want to watch that, would you?"
Gu Qian: "Isn't this your real purpose?"
"yes."
Gu Qian took a bite of rice, then slowly swallowed it before saying, "I'll have my assistant look into it. If there's no investment potential, then I won't invest."
"Don't worry, it'll definitely be a huge hit."
Wen Wan is most relaxed when she eats, unlike any other time, when her psychological defenses are greatly lowered.
She even started joking with Gu Qian.
They even started asking about Gu Qian, "Were you really studying painting abroad? I don't believe someone who studied painting could manage a company so quickly. Although I gave up my inheritance rights, your uncle is no ordinary person. How could he let you take control so easily?"
Gu Qian: "This is not a question you should know."
Wen Wan: "Alright, the better you are, the better it is for me. My future good days will depend on you, young master."
Gu Qian: "..."
"Didn't you marry Gu Weihe for money? Why would you be willing to give up half of your inheritance?"
Wen Wan: "I have a deep understanding of my own strength. What I can't hold onto is useless if I want it, and I'll only become a pawn in the game of the Gu family. I won't even know how I died. Why bother? I married Gu Weihe because I was after the resources and money he could bring me. And you can give me all of that, so naturally I have to build a good relationship with you."
"Aren't you afraid I'll scheme against you? Squeeze every last drop of value out of you, then kick you out, or throw you into hell?"
Wen Wan: "Then I'll haunt you even as a ghost. You'll have to be careful when you sleep at night. I'm going to break into your room through the window."
Gu Qian: "..."
Gu Qian ate half a bowl of rice, then watched Wen Wan eat two bowls of rice.
"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?" Gu Qian was genuinely puzzled. How could such a small person hold so much food in their stomach? Wouldn't they get full?
Wen Wan laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe I was a starving ghost reincarnated in my past life."
Gu Qian remained silent, then cleared the dishes and put them into the automatic dishwasher.
After washing the dishes, Gu Qian went upstairs, while Wen Wan watched TV downstairs. Since she was wide awake, she turned on a currently popular drama from this world to watch. And let me tell you, no matter which world you're in, there are plenty of bad dramas. Wen Wan watched and complained like crazy.
