Ch.52 We’re Not Meant for Each Other (3)

When Tuantuan heard what the doctor said, she breathed a sigh of relief. Patting her tummy, she said, “Good thing my Qiqi is okay. Otherwise, otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?”

Tuantuan cradled her belly and patted them like drums. “Tuantuan will be heartbroken…”

Xiaoke corrected her, “Tuan-jie, that’s your tummy, not your heart.”

Tuantuan wrinkled her tiny little brows and said seriously, “But the tummy is connected to the heart. If my heart hurts, then of course my tummy will hurt too!”

“Strong words.” Xiaoke reached out to tickle the tip of her nose before turning to Lin Yueqi. “Oh, that’s right, Sister Qi. I’ve got good news and bad news. The competition ended on the first episode because you were too tough. You completely robbed Qin Xue of her glory, so the big daddy sponsor of the competition is unhappy and is now asking to replace you. But they’ll still pay you for three episodes. The good news is, Boss Li from Jiachen Media called to say he wanted to sign you under his company and promised to offer you some good gigs.”

“Getting money for no work does sound pretty good. What’s Jiachen Media though?”

Xiaoke explained, Huachen Media is one of the country’s top film and television companies and their artists are top of the line. I heard some gossip that Qin Xue attempted to hook up with Li Xing but she was rejected. It’s because Jiachen Media rejected her that she went to Maice to snatch the no.1 position from you. Sister Qi, I think this will be a good opportunity. Why don’t you think about it? Don’t leave the entertainment industry, hm? Who knows, maybe Jiachen can turn you over? You have no company to back you up now and everyone thinks you’re down and out. There’s plenty of movies asking for you as the supporting female lead but they always give you the annoying villain roles and you’re paid very little. If you sign with Jiachen, it’ll naturally be all leading roles for you.

“I don’t wanna sign under a company.” After some thought, Lin Yueqi asked, “Annoying villain characters? How annoying are they?”

Xiaoke looked speechlessly at her and said, “There’s a movie that stars Qin Xue and you’re offered the role as the third supporting female villain. I checked her characterization and she’s the type who’s rotten to the bones. There was a historical drama that became a huge hit just a month ago and the big villain in the show was scolded so terribly that she had to quit Weibo and was suffering from depression.”

Lin Yueqi’s eyes lit up and she immediately caught Xiaoke’s arm. “I’ll do it! I’ll do it! It’s hard enough getting a role nowadays, I’ll do it!”

Xiaoke said, “Please think it over, Sister Qi!”

In the netizen’s eyes, she would be the villain as long as she appeared in the same show as Qin Xue. The worse the character was, the more immersive it was for the audience. When that time comes, the netizens will laugh and say she’s just acting out her own character.

She was originally Maice’s no.1 girl, but now she’s playing the support role for Qin Xue. The netizens will definitely think that she’s really fallen down low. First, she’ll ruin their impression of her with the villain role, then take in all the mocking…

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to get rid of the heroine halo

At 9 o’clock that night, Lin Yueqi posted a photo of her face covered in pimples to Weibo. “I’m the most beautiful in the world! No rebuttals accepted!”

The photo of her skin covered in acne caused the netizens to shiver. Please! Give her a good taste of internet! violence! Let her heroine halo be stripped off bit by bit!

Just three minutes after the post, the new CEO of the Qiancheng Group who had never shown his face, Lu Ting, reposted her photo.

Lu TingV, “Take good care on recovering and don’t post random photos.”

The netizens were all confused. “?? What’s going on?”

About a dozen seconds later, Lu Ting reposted his lawyer’s post.

The lawyer issued a letter to sue all the self-media who posted rumors that Lin Yueqi escorted him for drinks during her college days and that Tuantuan was a bastard.

After reposting it, Lu Ting said, “Yeah. I’m Tuantuan’s father.”

…

Weibo was paralyzed by the bombardment of this news. And, Qin Xue’s eyes were instantly bloodshot when she saw the news on her assistant’s phone. She nearly crushed her phone.

Since she transferred her punishment over, she used up too much of her positive energy and her emotions were getting harder and harder to control.

Qin Xue was still getting her makeup done when the crew came in, asking her to head over to the set.

But the crew member had spoken only to see her throw her phone out and sweeping everything off the dressing table in front of her like a lunatic.

Both the crew member and the makeup artist were dumbfounded, finding this woman more and more insane and terrifying.

A system alert sounded in her hear. “Beep beep—Body Load Warning. Your negative energy is expanding rapidly. The more it gathers the harder it will be to control your emotions. Please take note, please take note!”
