The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 95: Ten years ago

Views:

Mrs. He is a virtuous wife who murders her husband, based on Mrs. Qin.

To be fair, this character has a contrasting charm and is the most outstanding of the supporting roles in Devil May Cry 2. If played well, it can really show one's ability.

What Jian Jing wanted to say was just her words.

"You want to play Mrs. He?" Jian Jing smiled and said, "I thought you wanted to play the leading female role like Miss Tao - she wants to play the leading female role, right?"

Zhang Xi answered subconsciously: "No, she..." The words were already out of her mouth, like an arrow from a bow, unable to be withdrawn, she had no choice but to admit, "She also wants Mrs. He."

Jian Jing didn't want to alert the enemy, so she deliberately changed the subject: "With her status, is she willing to play a supporting role?"

"Actresses have much fewer chances to make mistakes than actors." Zhang Xi was indeed correct, feeling a little relieved. "Her reputation is almost completely ruined this time, and it's not too much to quit the industry. How dare she dream of being the leading actress? It's good enough for her to have a supporting role to make a comeback."

Jian Jing was silent for a while, then sighed, "It's very cruel."

Zhang Xi: "Who says it's not?"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

In the dim light, Jian Jing stared at Zhang Xi. She was almost thirty years old, but she looked about the same as herself, without a single wrinkle on her face.

But wouldn't you get tired of working in such an environment

Jian Jing sighed silently and got back to the point: "So, the reason you went to see Miss Tao before was for this matter."

Zhang Xi was still immersed in sentimentality, and after a pause, he reacted: "What?"

"Shao Meng died and Tao Tao went crazy. The timing was just too coincidental." Jian Jing said.

Zhang Xi's defensiveness returned again: "It has nothing to do with me."

"Ms. Zhang, please listen to me." Jian Jing reached out and gently pressed her shoulders, letting her look at her. The smoke from the hot spring rose slowly, and the white mist was lingering. She slowed down her tone and said softly, "The police are now confused about Shao Meng's death, so they plan to start with Tao Tao's condition, and he was alone with her, which is not in his favor."

To strike the snake at its most vulnerable part, she learned from Jiang Baiyan and others that most celebrities were reluctant to deal with the case, fearing that the news would leak out and cause unfavorable rumors, so she started from there.

The effect is immediate.

Zhang Xi became obviously uneasy, but did not refute immediately and avoided her gaze.

Jian Jing took another half step forward, and the two of them went from side by side to face to face. This was originally a relatively intimate posture, and the closed environment and exposed swimsuits further shortened the distance between the two.

"Sister Xi, I'm willing to help you." She said sincerely, "But I can't allow a person suspected of murder to star in my work. It will have an extremely bad influence on the devil. Can you understand me?"

Before, Jian Jing had asked Zhang Xi, but Zhang Xi was very wary of her and couldn’t understand at all - Shao Meng was just Jian Jing’s lead actor, was she so concerned just out of pity for life

Zhang Xi is not an indifferent person. On the contrary, she often participates in charity activities and is very kind to the staff. But such reasons cannot convince her.

But that is not the case now.

The previous conversation brought the two closer together, and Jian Jing's change of address to "Sister Xi" made her think that the two had become close. More importantly, the reason was reasonable and related to her interests.

Zhang Xi was convinced.

She didn't want to lose the hard-earned opportunity.

"I did contact Tao Tao." Zhang Xi admitted, "I know something about her, and I hope she can withdraw from this competition."

Jian Jing observed Zhang Xi's expression carefully. She was a little worried, but not afraid.

"Did she agree?"

"Of course I agree." Zhang Xi said calmly, "This kind of thing is shameful, but it is very common."

Jian Jing had no intention of pursuing their moral issues. Instead, she sighed, "I don't believe you, but I'm afraid the police won't easily accept your statement - she has already been ruined, what else can threaten her?"

Zhang Xi smiled mysteriously and whispered, "She is more afraid of something than being ruined."

"What is it?" Jian Jing asked deliberately.

Zhang Xi refused to say anything.

Jian Jing smiled, "It seems that Sister Xi wants to test me. Well, let me guess." She pretended to think, "Although Miss Tao's career has hit rock bottom because of the photo, she has not given up. For someone who once reached the peak, there is nothing more terrifying than obscurity."

Zhang Xi smiled: "You are right."

"So, the evidence you got may make her lose hope forever." At this point, Jian Jing finally revealed the answer, "It's Xie Wei, right?"

The water waves swayed, and she moved closer to Zhang Xi and whispered in her ear, "Ten years ago, I knew the secret."

Zhang Xi's eyelids jumped, and the fear that had dissipated returned to her heart. She instinctively wanted to take two steps back, but her shoulders were firmly held by her, and she could not move.

"Sister Xi, tell me," Jian Jing said, "I know everything about you."

“Whatever…” Zhang Xi tried to break free from her shackles.

But Jian Jing's next words made her hesitate. "We all talk about transactions, you can do it too, tell me, I recommend you to play Mrs. He."

Zhang Xi bit her lips, her eyes showing struggle.

"Ms. Zhang." Jian Jing was not willing to give her a chance to regret, and said calmly, "If you don't say it, others will. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance when the time comes."

Under pressure and temptation, Zhang Xi finally gave in: "Yes, I knew their secret. That was ten years ago. At that time, I was still working as a nurse in the hospital..."

Her narration revealed the secret from ten years ago.

In 2016, the crew of "Mysterious Cases in the Song Dynasty" encountered an accident and the wire broke. Shao Meng, who played the second male lead, and Tao Tao, who played the second female lead, were admitted to the hospital for treatment at the same time.

Because Zhang Xi is beautiful, the hospital arranges her to be in charge of the VIP ward.

At that time, the VIP ward had a separate floor, with more than ten wards, but only three patients. In addition to Shao Meng and Tao Tao, there was also a man with burns on his face.

His identity was mysterious, and he had no relatives to visit him, but he could afford a large sum of accommodation. He was also very talkative, kind and friendly, and had a good relationship with the nurses and doctors.

Shao Meng's injuries were not serious. During his hospitalization, he occasionally wandered around the corridor.

That was how he met the disfigured man.

The disfigured man spoke to him, but what he said was: "Young man, if it were you, you would definitely be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible instead of wasting time here."

Shao Meng didn't take it seriously: "It's just a work-related injury."

The disfigured man looked at him and sighed.

Shao Meng was so bored that he asked him, "What are you sighing about?"

"It's a pity that you are so young and good-looking, but your life is not good enough." The disfigured man actually said this.

Shao Meng immediately got angry: "What nonsense."

"You may sound alarmist, but I never tell lies." The disfigured man said, "Think about it, I'm not a charlatan under the overpass, what good is there in lying to me?"

Shao Meng sneered: "Who knows."

The disfigured man said, "I just had nothing to say to you because I was bored. Otherwise, even if you offered me money, I wouldn't bother to talk to you. Oh, you don't believe it, right? Have you been having bad luck in the past two years? Haven't your career and love been going well?"

"Just look this up on the Internet, everyone knows it." Shao Meng still didn't believe it.

The disfigured man touched his chin and smiled again: "Your family's ancestral tomb is well buried. Did you find someone to take a look at it?"

If career and love have channels to learn about, the family grave is something that has never been reported by the media. Shao Meng was surprised. The other party was right. His family's family grave was specially checked by a Feng Shui master and moved.

"You are not destined to be famous. You can only make a name for yourself thanks to the blessing of your ancestors." The disfigured man said, "Your ancestral blessings are limited. With the addition of children, your fortune will be diluted. Your fortune will get worse and worse in the future."

Shao Meng was already a little convinced. Two years ago, his sister got married and gave birth to a big fat boy. Thinking carefully, it seemed that everything went wrong from then on.

"Then what should I do?" he asked.

The disfigured man said: "Get out of the hospital early, go to work, and make as much money as you can."

The proposal is quite practical.

But Shao Meng definitely didn't want to. He had already tasted the sweetness of fame and fortune, so he wanted to let it go: "And then?"

"Be an ordinary person." The disfigured man smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's not a life-threatening problem. It's just becoming one of thousands of people."

Shao Meng was unwilling to give in, but the other party didn't say anything else and turned away.

A few days later, Xie Wei, as the leading male, came to visit him and Tao Tao. Many reporters accompanied him and took many photos to publicize their friendship.

Shao Meng was worried and his smile was stiff, and in the crowd, he saw the disfigured man again.

This time, the other party didn't even look at him, but kept staring at Xie Wei, looking surprised. Afterwards, Shao Meng couldn't help but be curious and took the initiative to talk to him: "Why did he keep looking at Xie Wei that day?"

"That person's name is Xie Wei?" The disfigured man smiled and said kindly, "If it were you, you would make friends with him immediately. Tsk tsk tsk, he has a once-in-a-lifetime fortune. If he does something, he will become a celebrity. Who knows, he will become an international superstar in the future."

Xie Wei was just a freshly graduated student, while Shao Meng was a well-known singer. How could he not be jealous of such a huge difference in evaluation

"Are you sure? There are tens of thousands of people coming and going in our circle, but only a few of them can become famous." Shao Meng said.

The disfigured man smiled slightly and said, "People with good luck are not likely to have bad luck. Think about it, is his luck usually very good? Does he always turn danger into fortune when encountering dangerous things?"

Shao Meng was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he was supposed to film Xie Wei's scene on the day he was injured, but because of the weather, it was temporarily changed and he was the one to film.

In other words, the person who was injured by wire work should have been Xie Wei.

He was silent.

"Everyone has his own destiny." The disfigured man patted his shoulder, "You have to accept it."

Shao Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe in fate."

The disfigured man did not respond.

The next day, the news came out, praising Xie Wei highly, but also accusing him of being a big shot and showing off his bad temper, and he received numerous negative reviews.

Shao Meng was furious. He was unwilling to be a stepping stone for others, and even more unwilling to decline and become an unknown ordinary person.

He wants to be famous, very famous.

So he found the disfigured man and said, "I have one million, can you help me?"

"It's not about money," the other party said. "Destiny is predestined and no one can change it. Those who claim they can change their fate are all liars."

Shao Meng asked desperately: "Is there no way at all?"

The other party remained silent.

"Three million." Shao Meng said, "Please help me."

The disfigured man finally said, "I can't change my fate, but I can borrow it."

Shao Meng didn't even think about it: "You mean... Xie Wei?"

The disfigured man smiled without saying anything.

Shao Meng's heart was like oil, burning with jealousy. He thought about how dazzling he was under the spotlight, and then thought about the boring life of ordinary people, and gritted his teeth and said, "Is it okay?"

The other party nodded.

Shao Meng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that while he was spying on others, he was also coveted by others - Tao Tao's injuries were not serious, but she had not been discharged from the hospital for a long time, and it was he who was plotting against her.
