Chapter 707: The Stepmother (11)
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.
The system was still chattering away.
[Host, can't you be a little more proactive in building a good relationship with the male lead? Be a little gentler, a little more affectionate.]
Wen Wan: "Who am I? What identity have you given me? Stepmother. My deceased husband was the father he hated. You're telling me to be gentle and clingy to seduce him? Am I crazy?"
System: [It's not real.]
Wen Wan: "Then tomorrow's headline will be something like 'After my father died, I inherited my beautiful stepmother,' or 'The Temptation of My Stepmother.'"
system:【……】
Wen Wan: "Where is the female lead now? I'll find her and let her have a beautiful romance with the male lead. I'll be the matchmaker for the male and female leads, and he'll definitely thank me. I can then use all the money I can to woo the young heartthrobs in this world and travel around the world. Don't you think that's awesome?"
System: Host, you will regret this.
[The female lead, Shen Yang, is currently in university, the same university as you, just in a different major. You're studying performing arts, while she's studying vocal music. You're a terrible student, having failed countless courses, and if you don't accumulate enough credits next year, you won't even graduate. Meanwhile, the female lead is a top student, winning scholarships, participating in various competitions, and is already a well-known talented woman.]
The system continued, "[The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts. Before the female lead was six years old, she and the male lead were neighbors. At that time, Gu's mother moved into the house rented by Gu's father to be with him, defying her parents. She lived there for nearly ten years until Gu's parents compromised and the two left.]"
Wen Wan: "Wouldn't this be considered a long-awaited reunion? This is really a scene that only happens in novels. In real life, very few people can actually encounter this. After all, who would remember their neighbor from before they were six years old?"
System: [While I think your method is feasible, I still have to remind you that the male lead hasn't been framed and imprisoned yet, and hasn't experienced that dark period. Therefore, his and the female lead's redemption may not be possible, and they may not necessarily end up together. So don't have too high hopes.]
"knew."
...
the next day.
Gu Qian went downstairs and found that the TV was still on, apparently having been on all night.
The person watching TV had already curled up on the sofa and fallen asleep.
She was even curled up in a ball because of the cold. Gu Qian turned off the TV, then found a blanket to cover Wen Wan with before leaving for the company.
Wen Wan was woken up by the nanny, who said, "Madam, wake up and go to your room to sleep. You'll easily catch a cold if you sleep here."
Wen Wan woke up. "I'm hungry. Is there anything for breakfast?"
The nanny gave Wen Wan a box of bread, saying, "Madam, have some to tide you over. I'll make lunch right away, and it'll be ready soon."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Wen Wan finished the bread in a few bites. She had obtained all the information about the female lead, including her phone number and even her entire social circle.
I'm planning to meet the female lead today, make friends with her, and then gradually work things out.
After lunch, Wen Wan changed into a pretty dress, put on some delicate makeup, and wore her newly bought rhinestone stilettos before heading to the school where the female lead was, which was also her school.
System: [Aren't you going to continue the class?]
Wen Yan: "..."
Although the school allows performing arts students to take on acting roles outside of class, don't forget you still have many credits to earn.
"That was the original owner's fault, what does it have to do with me?"
Now you are Chen Qian, and this education is your own responsibility.
Wen Yan: "..."
Art schools are full of beautiful girls and handsome boys. Wen Wan kept marveling at how they must have gathered all the handsome men and beautiful women in the world to study there.
"Chen Qian?" Someone suddenly called Wen Wan. Wen Wan looked over and, according to the system's introduction, it was Chen Xue, the original owner's friend.
"You haven't contacted me for so long, I thought you were going to cut ties with me after you married into a wealthy family."
That wasn't a pleasant tone.
In fact, after marrying into a wealthy family, Chen Qian did not intend to continue contacting these people.
Because she disliked her impoverished past, these friends would remind her how disgusting she was, how she married a man old enough to be her father for money, and how wretched her family background was.
"How could that be? You're my best friend. I've just been a bit busy lately. How about I treat you to a big meal later?"
"That's good. Are you here to attend classes? Didn't you say you were planning to drop out? After all, you don't need to suffer through classes like we do now. The Gu family can provide you with countless resources."
Wen Wan: "How could that be? The Gu family is the Gu family, and I am me. Of course, I will continue my studies."
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Xue left and arranged a time to have dinner.
To avoid being recognized, Wen Wan wore a mask and sunglasses.
And he asked where Shen Yang was, preparing for a... chance encounter.
Shen Yang was on the playground, and Wen Wan also went to the playground. Under the system's instructions, Wen Wan met the female protagonist, Shen Yang.
She has an incredibly elegant appearance, seemingly from a different dimension than the people around her, and even seems out of place in this noisy playground.
In terms of beauty, she might not even be as pretty as Wen Wan, but her ethereal and elegant temperament gave her a natural charm that even Wen Wan acknowledged and appreciated, which is why she became the most beautiful girl in the department.
Several boys around her were subtly glancing at her.
Wen Wan quickly walked over to Shen Yang's side and then found an empty seat to sit down.
A girl next to her stared at her; after all, it was a bit conspicuous for someone to be wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses in broad daylight.
"Are you a student at our school?" the girl asked.
Wen Wan: "Yes, I've had a bit of a cold recently and I'm afraid of infecting others. I'm a performing arts major."
"I see, you're here to see Senior Sixian too, right?"
Who is Si Xian?
The other person was somewhat surprised, "You don't know Senior Sixian, Lin Sixian, our school's famous campus heartthrob. Ninety percent of the girls here are here because of Senior Sixian."
"I'm not often at school, so I don't know anyone here. I just came to join in because I saw a basketball game going on."
"Tsk, this is the first time I've met a female classmate who doesn't know Senior Sixian. You'd better take a good look later. Senior Sixian is really super handsome. He's my dream man."
Wen Wan was also a little curious, mainly because her interest in good-looking people was piqued, so she took off her sunglasses and hat.
"Your eyes are so beautiful, you must be very good-looking."
"You're cute too."
Soon the game started, and a group of men entered the field. Wen Wan knew almost immediately who her classmate's crush, Senior Si Xian, was. After all, even in a team full of handsome guys, this guy's looks were still quite stunning. Among the people Wen Wan had met, apart from Gu Qian, almost no one could compare to Si Xian.
