Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Nian, unaffected by Huang Yue’s hateful gaze, felt that the situation lacked excitement. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she smiled and spoke slowly, “People will say that you deserve it. You’re the only one in the class group chat who fell victim to a gold digger. Have you ever considered checking your own status? If you truly had a wealthy second-generation heir with a respectable family background, can you be certain they would choose you?”

“Consider this a friendly reminder,” Wen Nian said. “Take a look at the marks left on your face from the blisters. If you’re considering plastic surgery, it’s best to do it sooner rather than later. Well, I should go get some beauty sleep now.”

After uttering those words, Wen Nian abruptly ended the call, not giving Huang Yue a chance to counterattack!

It had been several months since Wen Nian’s rebirth. As she observed the persistent red mark on Huang Yue’s face and reflected on how Huang Yue had deceived her emotionally and financially, a sense of satisfaction filled Wen Nian. Now, her focus shifted to thoroughly exposing Huang Yue’s facade, provoking her from every angle, including her artificial plastic appearance.

Huang Yue tightly pursed her lips, her anger causing her whole body to go numb. “Wen Nian! We cannot coexist!”

Huang Yue gripped her phone tightly and had the urge to smash it against the ground to vent her frustration. However, her phone rang once again.

Huang Yue answered the call without even glancing at the screen. Her voice emanated a chilling aura, as if it belonged to a ghost risen from the depths of hell. “Wen Nian! You will pay the price for deceiving me. This time, I will stop at nothing to utterly destroy you!”

There was a brief moment of silence on the other end of the line. Huang Yue interpreted it as a sign of Wen Nian’s impending surrender, and she intended to use this opportunity to intimidate her into providing compensation upfront. This way, she could buy herself a few days to strategize and deal with Wen Nian accordingly.

“Hello, is this Huang Yue?” An unfamiliar female voice sounded.

Huang Yue was momentarily taken aback. She lowered her phone and noticed that the call was coming from an unknown number. Furrowing her brow, she inquired, “Who is this?”

The female voice spoke once again, “Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that our goals align. I, too, do not wish for Wen Nian to have an easy time.”

Huang Yue pondered the mysterious voice in her mind, but she couldn’t seem to place it with any specific person. After a brief moment of silence, she expressed her doubt, “If you’re unwilling to reveal your identity and name, how can 1 trust your sincerity? 1 even suspect that you might be a pawn sent by Wen Nian to deceive me.”

Pan Jia could sense the skepticism in Huang Yue’s voice, but as someone destined to become a prominent star in the future, she couldn’t afford to disclose her personal information. Doing so would only invite potential scandals and future risks.

Pan Jia contemplated for a moment before responding, “I came across your situation through the posts on the school’s website that exposed Wen Nian’s scandals. I happen to be a staff member of the production team, and 1 noticed firsthand how Wen Nian displayed her domineering behavior. That’s why 1 reached out to you.”

“Wen Nian may appear pure on the surface, but I have no idea about the extent of her inner corruption. It seems she secured the female lead role by engaging in inappropriate relationships with the director and making investments in the production.”

Upon hearing that Wen Nian was involved in scandals, Huang Yue’s interest piqued, and she eagerly requested, “Please provide me with detailed evidence if you have any!”

Under the cover of the dark night, an alliance was silently forged against Wen Nian.

After a week of filming, Wen Nian’s production was in progress. Wen Yu had traveled to the capital to take part in the national competition finals and decided to pay a visit to the set.

Wen Nian took the initiative to request half a day off. However, when Shen Jun discovered that the three of them were going to have dinner together in the evening, he couldn’t escape the harsh reality that he wouldn’t be able to attend the family gathering.

Since she was in the capital, it was only natural for Wen Nian to indulge in some roast duck. Following the address provided by Shen Jun, she sought out a discreet shop tucked away in an alley.

Wen Yu cast a skeptical glance at the recruitment notice bearing the name “Qingyin Workshop” and looked at Wen Nian with suspicion. “Didn’t you say we came to the capital for roast duck? People say there’s a century-old shop known for it. Who gave you the address? Don’t tell me we’ve been tricked.”

Wen Nian rolled her eyes in response to Wen Yu’s suspicion. She had full confidence in Shen Jun’s recommendation. After all, someone with his background must have indulged in a wide variety of exquisite dishes. How could he not know the deliciousness of roast duck? “Just bring your mouth and taste it,” she retorted.

Upon stepping inside, he quickly realized that there was a whole new world awaiting him. The entrance led to a courtyard house with three entrances and a serene back garden. The place exuded the ancient ambiance of a northern-style architecture while also showcasing the picturesque charm of a southern courtyard.

Despite Shen Jun mentioning a discounted rate for the appointment, Wen Nian still had some concerns about her finances.

Upon realizing that the appointment was made by Shen Jun, Manager Wang personally extended an invitation to the three of them, leading them to a private room with a panoramic view of the beautiful backyard.

As they made their way through the shop, Wen Nian noticed that it was predominantly staffed by male employees. Curiosity piqued, she couldn’t help but ask about it, surprised to discover that there were indeed only male employees.

Once inside the private room, the three of them glanced at the extravagant menu placed before them, exchanging uncertain glances. They silently wondered if they would be able to finish their meal in time to meet their scheduled departure.

The observant manager, sensing their desire to leave, quickly interjected, “Please don’t worry. As our esteemed guests, you have made a reservation. Feel free to order the roast duck and a few additional dishes. After applying the discount, it will amount to approximately 200 yuan per person.. While it may be slightly pricier than the ordinary roast duck shops outside, our taste surpasses anything those establishments can offer!”
