Chapter 700: The Little Stepmother (4)
“Although it’s just a nominal inheritance, legally I have the same inheritance rights as you, so you have to split this property 50/50 with me.” As Wen Wan said this, Gu Qian looked at her as if she were a disgusting thing.
But since she was pretty, Wen Wan tolerated it.
“But I don’t think I can control the Gu family. You know your grandmother, your grandmother’s son, Gu Zile, who is deeply loved by your grandmother. They are all eyeing the Gu family, and eyeing you and me. So we can actually cooperate.”
“I don’t want the inheritance of the Gu family business. I just need to establish myself in the entertainment industry. So I need resources and connections. You just need to provide me with those, and I can cooperate with you to do whatever you want. I trust you and don’t want to hand over the Gu family business to someone else.”
Do you think I believe that?
“You can hire a lawyer to sign a contract with me. I can give up my inheritance rights, or even file for divorce. I don’t want to be tied to the Gu family for the rest of my life.”
Gu Qian looked at her without continuing to speak, remaining silent for a few minutes. "I will have a lawyer handle this tomorrow. I hope you will keep your word."
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Wan couldn't wait to get a divorce, after all, she didn't want to end up widowed in the marital status section, she was still young.
"We might become friends, so you don't need to be too hostile towards me. Maybe one day you'll need me."
Gu Qian left.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. Although she was a beauty, she was also an impolite one. She was furious.
...
The next day, Gu Qian brought a lawyer.
She signed a contract voluntarily relinquishing her inheritance rights, but this was kept secret. Gu Qian clearly had his own plans, and Wen Wan didn't care as long as the male lead didn't want to kill her. After all, the ending in the original story wasn't very good.
She got Gu Qian thrown in jail.
Luckily, I arrived early; nothing had happened yet, which meant the mission was already halfway complete.
After resolving this matter, Wen Wan and Gu Qian's relationship changed. Gu Qian's attitude towards her changed from dislike to indifference. He spent most of his time away from home, and even when he was home, he wouldn't communicate with her.
Wen Wan took the initiative to chat, trying to ease the tension.
Unsuccessful.
When it was time for the variety show to start filming, Wen Wan went directly to film the show. First, she needed to pick up her "daughter." Wen Wan didn't know who it was; she was just led by the production team to a bustling residential area, where they stopped outside a mansion that resembled an ancient garden.
This… Wen Wan was shocked. How many billions would it cost to buy this house? How luxurious is it?!
What Wen Wan didn't expect was that her adopted daughter was actually Gu Qian's half-sister? After Gu's parents divorced, Gu's mother adopted another daughter, who is now only seven years old and has a very good relationship with Gu Qian. Gu Qian also loves this sister very much.
Does Gu's mother know about this?
If he knew this, how could he possibly let his daughter participate in a variety show with him?
This relationship is way too complicated!
Wen Wan and the crew members were led into the mansion, where Wen Wan met Gu Qian's mother.
She has a very gentle and beautiful appearance. Even though time hasn't left many marks on her face, she looks very much like Gu Qian, only gentler, while Gu Qian's appearance is more aggressive.
The show's producers' desire for viewership is too obvious.
Ex and current partner – this is definitely a viral sensation.
The two might end up fighting.
However, no.
Wen Wan greeted her with a smile, "Hello, I really like your music, I've listened to a lot of it."
Instead of becoming hysterical, Gu's mother gently offered her a seat.
"Thanks."
Then she asked the nanny to bring her daughter over, saying, "This is my daughter, Qiao Xiaoya. Thank you for your hard work in the coming days."
The child was much more direct. When the director felt the scene was too calm and peaceful, he blurted out, "Are you my brother's wicked stepmother?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu's mother pulled Qiao Xiaoya back, "Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't be rude."
Qiao Xiaoya: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?"
Wen Wan: This doesn't seem like a genuine apology.
She didn't understand why this was happening, or why she would participate in this variety show.
Mrs. Gu explained, "Ms. Chen, I'm very sorry, it was actually my fault."
Wen Wan: "It's okay, I think Xiaoya is very cute."
Wen Wan drank several cups of tea at Gu's mother's place before taking Qiao Xiaoya to the production crew's car.
As soon as the little devil got on the bus, he revealed his true colors.
"Why do you think I went on the show? I just wanted to expose your vicious true colors and let you bully my brother."
"Why do you think I'm bullying your brother?" Wen Wan asked.
"Because you are my stepmother, and my brother is the embodiment of Snow White and Cinderella, you will definitely bully my brother, so I will drive you away for my brother's sake."
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Qian? Snow White and Cinderella?
This is also gender-swapped.
Wen Wan looked at the children, while the camera continued to film them.
"How could someone as adorable as me be a wicked stepmother? Do I look like a wicked stepmother to you?"
Qiao Xiaoya looked at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan's world uses her own body, so it is naturally created by simulating her own body data.
She naturally looks young, and from childhood to adulthood she has always been exceptionally popular with children and the elderly, commonly known as... having a kind face.
With her big, blinking eyes, Qiao Xiaoya was reminded of her favorite Barbie doll. Could this girl who looked just like Barbie be a wicked stepmother? But Xiaowei said that stepmothers are very bad; they would not feed their brother, would beat him, and would try to seize his family property, etc.
"Stepmothers are all bad people, and you definitely are."
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan's tears fell down in a plop. "Waaah, Xiao Ya, you've wronged me. I'm so heartbroken."
Qiao Xiaoya panicked. Why was she crying?
She hurriedly wiped away Wen Wan's tears, "Don't cry, you're an adult, how can you cry? I won't call you a wicked stepmother anymore, okay?"
"Then will you still bully me?"
"I won't bully you anymore. Don't cry. If Mom finds out, I'll get scolded."
"Will you behave?"
Qiao Xiaoya: "I'll be good."
Wen Wan wiped away her tears, then smiled and said, "That's right, let's cooperate amicably."
Qiao Xiaoya: "..."
Are adults this good at changing their expressions?
Was she scammed?
The production crew was stunned by this scene. This wasn't how the story was supposed to go! This was such a confrontation! He and his ex-wife were so peaceful just moments before; it was completely illogical. How could this be?
Wen Wan then started eating, taking out her bag and rummaging through it to find a bunch of snacks. Qiao Xiaoya was almost driven crazy with envy. At home, she rarely had the chance to eat them because her mother said they were junk food.
Wen Wan ate with gusto, "Want some? Call me 'sister,' and I'll give you some."
It's impossible to be a mother.
