The Female Celebrity Transmigrated into the Daughter of Her Arch Nemesis
Chapter 117: I’m not going out until the movie’s on
Chapter 117
By the time Ji Ruochu had finally calmed down the family of three who had survived a calamity, she was once again fast asleep and snoring on her old father's back.
There was no other way. Her daily exercise these days was just too much, and her biological clock was right on point.
"Asleep?" Ji Mochen asked his wife beside him.
"Yeah, she's sleeping very soundly."
"Then I'll walk slower."
Ji Ruochu's father instantly slowed down his pace. No one knew whether he was trying to cherish his daughter's hard-won dependence, or afraid that walking too fast would disturb her sleep.
"What do you think our daughter learned at the martial arts school?"
Ling Chujin patted Ji Ruochu's forehead and shook her head helplessly.
When they had seen the video footage at the police station earlier, it had left them dumbfounded.
"It doesn't matter what she learned. A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, whether it is black or white," Ji Mochen laughed instead.
As long as his daughter could protect herself, he didn't care what she had learned.
"But we have to talk to her tomorrow. She can't be so impulsive next time. We got lucky this time since there was only one assailant. But what if she runs into a group of them next time? Even with bodyguards, it's still too reckless. What if the bodyguards don't get there in time to stop her?"
"You're right, we should talk to her," Ling Chujin nodded. "You lay it out and I'll chime in supportively."
Ji Mochen: "..."
Of course, the couple ultimately had a serious talk with Ji Ruochu, and only after obtaining her promise to never act rashly again did they let the matter go.
At this point, the couple no longer worried that their daughter would suffer at the martial arts school. After all... even grown men could be subdued with one, no, two kicks. What else was there to worry about?
What they didn't expect was that the incident had still been posted online.
Not only was it posted, but the title was: Shocking! King Ji Seen Entering and Exiting a Police Station Late at Night.
As soon as this news came out, all the gossip sites immediately jumped on it.
By the time the agent called Ji Mochen, there were already online versions claiming he had been arrested for various crimes.
The gossip sites were afraid that Ji Mochen was living too comfortably, and said whatever was sensational.
It was not until the Kyoto Police posted a statement "Woman Followed Home by Thugs, Fortunately Saved by 10-Year-Old Child" that the tide began to turn.
Ji Mochen's fans: Phew~ Scared me to death, I thought Ruochu's dad was going to jail.
Haters: Haha, the police only released a news bulletin, how does that prove it was your family's protagonist? For all we know he could be crying behind bars right now.
Soon after, the police @'d Ji Mochen again, saying they would personally commend the child at school in a couple days for bravely saving someone.
At this point, the haters instantly shut their mouths. Only a few passersby voiced their confusion:
【Wait a minute, I didn't see wrong did I? It said "saved by a 10-year-old child" right? A 10-year-old? Ji Ruochu?】
【This... I guess Ruochubaby saw it happen and yelled for them to stop, and the thug saw Ji Mochen's tall and sturdy figure, so he gave up. 】
【That makes sense. There's no way tiny Ruochu could have fought off the thug herself, he must have been a wimp!】
This guess instantly gained support from many netizens. For a time, everyone was giving Ji Ruochu a thumbs up.
Taking advantage of her free time to browse social media, Ji Ruochu thought:
Hmm, they're praising me but somehow it feels weird?
Oh well, not important. The little one immediately turned off her phone and started on today's portion of math problems.
If all goes as expected, next semester she should be able to skip to 7th grade. In other words, at the latest by next year, she'll be able to participate in the high school Math Olympiad.
She had taken part in the Olympiad in her previous life too, although she didn't get very good results, only making it to the winter camp and stopping at the national level.
Doing it over again, even though her aptitude was ordinary, she should still do better than her previous life right?
No no, not just better, much much better!
She had to remember, her time remaining ahead of the other nine geniuses was limited.
With this sense of crisis, Ji Ruochu's morale instantly soared.
Pen in one hand, lamp in the other, she plunged into the sea of questions again!
While Ji Ruochu's mind was full of math problems, Qiu Xuetong's film "Wandering", which had taken three years of twists and turns to make, finally succeeded in releasing.
The premiere would be in a month.
The movie had become so famous that it trended without having to buy hot search spots. After seeing Qiu Xuetong's post, netizens spontaneously pushed him onto the hot searches.
【OMG Old Qiu, you actually didn't give up?】
【Please, I really want to see this movie that's been aborted three times. Can you actors be more reliable?】
【Old Qiu really... I'm crying, I won't say anything else. You earned this box office.】
【Qiu Xuetong: This time, I'm taking back everything I lost in these three years!】
...
With the netizens' enthusiastic promotion, the movie once again reached the limelight of being popular before even releasing x4.
Unlike before, the main actors this time were very low-key.
Ji Xuetong, whose career had been frozen for five years (female lead):
【Director don't worry, I've locked my door and stocked up on a month's supplies. If the movie doesn't release, I absolutely won't go out.】
Tan Yuanzhi, whose acting was always lukewarm (male lead 1):
【Director don't worry, I've sent my child and wife to grandpa's house. If the movie doesn't release, I absolutely won't go out.】
Li Yuxuan, who had just recovered from a car accident (male lead 2):
【Director don't worry, I've stuffed my fridge full. I'll be honing my acting at home this month. If the movie doesn't release, I absolutely won't go out!】
Qiu Xuetong went and liked each reply: 【My heart is at ease!】
Netizens below: 666
Movies releasing normally have huge publicity campaigns, but Wandering is different. The main cast is directly isolating at home. This wave... is truly awesome!
