Chapter 792: The Faded Actress (2)
Wen Wan contacted the original owner's family driver, took out the SIM card from the phone, broke it, threw it in the trash can, logged into the original owner's Weibo, and posted the words "retiring from the entertainment industry." Regardless of the storm that followed, Wen Wan changed the password and logged off.
Then format the phone.
The driver arrived, and Wen Wan got in the car, closing her eyes to rest. After all, she had been drugged, and her condition hadn't fully recovered. Besides, after what had just happened, and now that her cheat ability was gone, she was even more exhausted.
I slept until I found myself in my family's large estate.
Yes, as the home of the richest man, how can it be summarized as just a villa?
Before the driver could speak, Wen Wan woke up, got out of the car, and asked, "Where's Grandpa?"
"The master is in the study."
Still angry?
The driver smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Wen Wan went directly to the study as instructed by the system, and the butler quickly came to greet her.
“Miss, the master watched your live stream and is very angry. Please don’t argue with him. His blood pressure has been high recently, and the doctor said you need to stay calm and avoid emotional fluctuations.”
"Um."
Wen Wan wouldn't argue with her future talisman, so she opened the door and went inside.
"Ha, you've finally decided to come back? I thought you were going to die out there." The first words were a direct hit from the old man.
"Grandpa, how many of the hundred alt accounts you created to control the comments have been shut down? If that's not enough, I'll create more for you."
grandfather:"???"
Rebellious grandson.
"you……"
Grandpa Lin was furious. Who exposed his secret of using a fake account? It must have been that loose-lipped housekeeper! He'd get his wages docked!
Wen Wan poured Grandpa Lin a cup of tea to cool him down and quickly soothed him.
"Don't be angry. I've already been thoroughly beaten down by society. I'm retiring from the entertainment industry and will just focus on inheriting your company and assets, becoming a carefree third-generation rich kid."
"Still just loafing around and waiting to die? You're spineless. You said you're leaving the entertainment industry, is that true?"
"Of course, I was blind before, I trusted the wrong people and ended up in a terrible state. After being tricked this time, I've finally figured it out. I'm going to use money to crush those two bastards."
Grandpa Lin: "Nonsense!!!"
"Are you really not going back to being an actress?" Grandpa Lin asked proudly, though he was actually looking forward to his granddaughter leaving the entertainment industry.
"I'm not going back."
Wen Wan's eyes suddenly filled with sorrow, and she looked like she was about to cry, which left the old man somewhat bewildered.
Wen Wan unbuttoned her sleeve, and Grandpa Lin stood up instantly when he saw the overly obvious scar on her porcelain-white wrist.
"What's this?"
Grandpa Lin gripped his granddaughter's hand, trembling with anger, "Why didn't you tell me?"
The old man's eyes were red. Xi Xi has always been proud and self-respecting. What could she have done to make her hurt herself?
Wen Wan withdrew her hand. This was the suffering the original owner had endured, and Wen Wan naturally wanted those who needed to know to know.
"I don't understand why so many people misunderstand me. I didn't do anything wrong, but I went into a dead end and did something stupid."
Grandpa Lin completely shifted his anger, "I'll kill these bastards for daring to bully my granddaughter."
When Lin Weicheng, the adopted son of the Lin family, entered, he heard his grandfather's angry roar.
"Grandpa, the doctor said you can't get angry."
Lin Weicheng reached out and patted the old man's body.
"Wei Cheng is here. Go and deal with those scoundrels who framed your sister."
The old man's eyes were cold and stern. "Those who should go bankrupt should go bankrupt, those who should be blacklisted should be blacklisted, and those who should go to jail should all be sent to jail. They dare to lay a hand on my Gu family. They're tired of living."
When Wen Wan heard this, she felt a thrill, like the excitement of a king being imprisoned in the dead of winter. It was so exciting!
Lin Weicheng nodded. "Yes, Grandpa."
Lin Weicheng turned to leave, but his hand was grabbed, and the delicate touch made him freeze for a moment.
Lin Weicheng turned around in surprise to look at his younger sister who was holding his hand.
"Brother, I want to take revenge myself."
Wen Wan released Lin Weicheng's hand.
"What did you call me?" Lin Weicheng felt like he was hallucinating.
From the moment he arrived at the Lin family, his younger sister never called him "brother" because she suspected that he was an illegitimate child of the Lin family.
Wen Wan knew Lin Weicheng's ending in the original novel: after the Lin family went bankrupt, he went to prison for injuring someone who had bullied Lin Xi.
When he came out, he found that Lin Xi had gone in and died in prison.
After that, Lin Weicheng lived his whole life in regret and pain.
In reality, as an adopted son, Lin Xi did not like his older brother Lin Weicheng, and the two were not close.
"Brother, I want to take revenge myself, is that okay?"
"OK."
Lin Weicheng agreed without hesitation. This was a small matter; he would take care of whatever his sister wanted to do.
"Xiaoxi, you can ask your brother for any help you need."
"I want Qiwen Entertainment."
Qiwen Entertainment is the entertainment company where the female lead works. In the past, Lin Xi was all alone, and Wen Wan wasn't stupid. She didn't even use such a big backer and was bullied so badly.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Grandpa Lin was happy on the one hand that the relationship between his granddaughter and his adopted grandson had eased, but on the other hand, he frowned.
"Didn't you say you were going to retire from the entertainment industry? Why do you still have an entertainment company?"
Wen Wan: "To get revenge, I'll hire an online army to smash those bastards to death."
Grandpa Lin: "..."
When did my granddaughter become so irritable?
Perhaps the wounds were too deep, and his personality changed. Thinking of this, the old man was extremely angry.
"As long as you don't die, Grandpa guarantees you'll be fine."
Back in her bedroom, Wen Wan took off her dirty clothes. After enduring this for so long, even someone without obsessive-compulsive disorder would feel that she smelled bad.
While taking a shower.
The system asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Wen Wan relaxed completely. "Of course, I'll use money to bribe him. Besides, isn't the male lead a nobody right now? I'll use money to make him a movie star."
System: [Are you trying to become a sugar daddy? Giving up the act?]
Wen Wan: "I don't know how."
System: [You could actually give it a try; maybe you have a real talent for it?]
After taking a bath, Wen Wan changed into an exquisite red dress before carefully examining her body.
It looked exactly like my original appearance, except that my skin was a bit whiter and smoother, and my features were a bit more delicate.
Thankfully it's my own body, otherwise it would feel quite strange.
"Miss, the young master has brought the documents." The nanny knocked on the door and handed the documents to Wen Wan.
It contained all the information about Qiwen Entertainment, including introductions of all its agents and artists. Wen Wan flipped to the page about the fake female lead, then randomly flipped through the rest of the page, finally stopping at a certain page.
"As expected of the male lead, he's really good-looking, hahaha."
system:【……】
The host seems to have a completely different personality in this world; it wasn't like this in the previous world!
...
Qiwen Entertainment.
News of the major changes at the top quickly spread throughout the company.
On this day, the newly appointed president was rumored to be coming to the company.
Everyone was on edge, waiting. The company's agents quickly brought their artists, each dressed to the nines, eager to impress the new president.
Chen Qifan looked at Gu Yuan beside him and said, "Why are you looking so gloomy? Don't forget that your contract is still with the company. If I blacklist you, you can forget about paying for the orphanage grandma's medical expenses."
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly. "I've said it before, I don't sell myself."
"Why say such harsh things? What do you mean by 'selling yourself'? This is called reasonable resource utilization. What do you have besides your face? You have no sense of variety shows, you're like a wooden stake, you can't sing or dance, what else can you do besides sell your face?"
Gu Yuan dug his fingers into his palms. He had been tricked before and always escaped, but this time he couldn't.
Who will receive it next?
He was so desperate.
Even his best friend betrayed him. That time, it was Qiao Mingyue who sent him the message, and it was Qiao Mingyue who personally made him drink that glass of wine.
Why?
How could a person suddenly change so much? They even stopped caring about the children in the orphanage and their grandmother.
"When President Lin arrives, I've received inside information that he's single. I've only brought you along. If you manage to get close to him, you'll be set for life."
Lin Qifan said with a smile.
Looking at Lin Qifan's pig-like, lewd face, Gu Yuan felt so disgusted he wanted to vomit.
"They're here, they're here..."
Lin Qifan pushed Gu Yuan forward, and everyone was secretly and recklessly pushing forward.
Caught off guard, Gu Yuan's body went limp and he fell forward.
Gu Yuan had been starving for too long; he hadn't rested since returning from the hotel.
The medicine had already depleted her body, and then Lin Qifan arranged for her to do live-streaming sales. She hasn't had a drop of water or a bite to eat, and now she's been called to see the boss.
It was as if the surroundings had been paused.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes and waited for the pain, but the expected pain did not come; he was caught.
"It's inappropriate for someone to throw themselves at you right after you arrive."
"I didn't..." Gu Yuan fainted. He thought he saw Lin Xi before he fainted. How could that be?
Everyone stared in shock at Wen Wan, exclaiming, "Lin Xi!!!"
That sound instantly brought everyone back to their senses. How could it be Lin Xi? How could Lin Xi be the newly appointed president?
Isn't it a lie that she said she was going to inherit a fortune of hundreds of millions?
So she really did have a family fortune to inherit?
Some artists and agents who had offended Lin Xi didn't look too happy.
"Mr. Lin, leave this person to me," said Qi Ming, the assistant Lin Weicheng sent to Wen Wan, who was also Lin Weicheng's usual assistant.
"fine."
Wen Wan helped the man up and said, "Go find a doctor to examine him."
Although Qi Ming was shocked by the way President Lin looked at the young actor, which was clearly not innocent—wasn't it said that Lin Xi liked Shangguan Hao?—he still maintained the professional demeanor of a corporate assistant, calmly blocking out all curious glances, and quickly went to contact the doctor.
This scene was captured on camera and then quietly uploaded to the internet.
Wen Wan carried the person to the sofa, while the management team members who had followed her in were at a loss for what to do.
They were also greatly shocked when they learned that Lin Xi was the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
This is the Lin family, the richest family in the world!
With that kind of status, why would she bother in the entertainment industry? And how could she have ended up like this?
What serious illnesses do wealthy people have?
Wen Wan sat down in the president's seat, playing with the diamond ring on her finger. The executives looked at each other, wondering what Lin Xi was up to.
