After the initial disappointment, I decided to try to find out indirectly. But the result of trying to find out indirectly was that I found Wen Li directly.

"Hey, Wen Li, I heard you have a girlfriend, how about going out for dinner?"

Wen Li seemed a little shocked, but after the shock he gave me a shocking answer.

"I'm sorry, Anyue, I didn't tell you."

When people say sorry, I naturally say it's okay, but I always feel weird after saying it.

Wen Li has always been very good to me, but he shouldn't say sorry to an outsider like me for having a girlfriend. It feels really weird. It feels like I'm really forced to become the third party despised by everyone.

"She's my great uncle's..." Wen Li was about to explain further, but I interrupted him, grinning, like a typical heartless person, "Oh, what a beauty! You're hiding her, remember to bring her here someday..."

As it turned out, Li Ruobing had already come to the door on his own initiative without Wen Li bringing him over.

"Are you An Yue?" I washed my hands and came out of the kitchen, and happened to meet a bright and beautiful woman who was looking at me with hostility.

I was very familiar with this feeling of being hostile, so I immediately realized that this person was Wen Li's girlfriend.

I stepped forward and said, "Looking for Wen Li? He's out."

The bright and beautiful lady nodded, but ignored the fact that Wen Li had gone out. She just looked me up and down, and finally lit a cigarette, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

I laughed, "If I mind, will you not smoke?"

The beauty suddenly laughed and held out her hand, "I'm Li Ruobing, Wen Li's girlfriend."

I said I've heard a lot about you.

She said nice to meet you.

Then neither of us spoke.

Li Ruobing held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at me with his big eyes, and made a decision.

"I don't like you. Although you don't look good, I think you are unsafe. As for Wen Li, I will ruthlessly eliminate all unsafe factors." Li Ruobing blew out a smoke ring, looked at me viciously, and said.

I think, if it was Zhuoyang’s mistress who came to my house to declare war on me, I would rush forward without hesitation like a lioness, hissing and growling, and asserting my sovereignty.

But the key point now is that I am suspected of being the third party. Although I didn’t want to do it, there is nothing I can do... I was shot even when I was lying down.

Li Ruobing said, "How about going out and sitting for a while?"

If even a spacious Taekwondo venue can't solve the problem, I really don't know where else I can solve it.

But in the end, I still followed Li Ruobing out.

"I've been pursuing Wen Li for five years." Li Ruobing stopped smoking, but her voice was a little hoarse from smoking before, and had a sense of vicissitudes. I think if she sang Tian Zhen's songs, she would definitely beat those so-called talent show champions nowadays.

"He is mine." Seeing that I didn't say anything, Li Ruobing directly declared his sovereignty.

I really liked her directness, so I nodded and said, "I wish you happiness."

My reaction seemed a little unexpected to her. "According to the plot, shouldn't you be crying and begging me to give Wen Li to you and tell me that you are pregnant with his child?"

Phew—I’m sorry. I laughed out loud without hesitation, and while laughing, I said, “Where did you read that lousy script? It’s so lousy.”

Li Ruobing's face turned cold and he looked up. "What's wrong? You insulted my profession and my intelligence?"

"… "

Wen Li's girlfriend is actually a romance screenwriter. I even watched a few of her scripts when I was bored.

Actually, I don’t want to watch it, but the TV station seems to be competing with someone and is desperately broadcasting those movies every day.

It is said that the leading and supporting actors of those films all became famous, and of course the director and screenwriter were also famous. I did not expect that the golden screenwriter mentioned by the TV station was Li Ruobing.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

I nodded naturally, "I just didn't expect that I would actually meet the screenwriter of "Palace x Love"... Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming."

Li Ruobing pinched me harshly without any hesitation. At the same time, her expression was no longer cold, but rather a little enthusiastic. "Well, you have seen my film. What do you think of me? How do you think of my acting?"

How could I tell her that her movies were stupid and melodramatic, and watching them was simply an insult to my IQ... I paused, and finally nodded, giving a perfect answer.

“I think your ratings are pretty good.”

I was right. The films written by Li Ruobing were all brainless and melodramatic. The plots and protagonists of each film were quite controversial and were criticized a lot online.

But that's how it is, she is popular, her ratings are good, maybe she is just a cheap person, she enjoys the pleasure of cursing while continuing to watch and curse again.

I am envious, jealous and hateful, but there is nothing I can do.

After getting to know Li Ruobing, I found that her IQ was not that high. I obviously had no intention of praising her, but she felt that I was full of admiration for her.

"I think you're a little old, but you'd be good in playing a nanny. Do you want me to talk to the crew about it..."

I'm vomiting blood, Mammy... Let's just forget it. If the enthusiastic media found out that Zhuo Yang's ex-wife had a cameo role as a mammy in a film written by a top screenwriter, and her lines from beginning to end were only three lines, "Ah, the princess is here! Ah, the emperor is here! Ah, the queen mother is here!", I don't know what kind of fuss it would cause.

"Hey..." It seemed that my ingratitude hurt Li Ruobing. She pursed her lips and looked disgusted. "I gave you the face but you don't want it. Don't you look at your appearance? I let you act because I respect you. Like Hu Ling, you know, the new star of the TV station, she begged me to play the supporting actress last time, but I didn't agree..."

Hu Ling! My ears stood up, "What did you say, that fox... No, a beautiful lady also wants you to act, wow, you are so amazing..."

I think that a little exaggeration will be very helpful to my subsequent conversation.

As expected, I gave Li Ruobing a big sweet date. She took it without much IQ, took a bite, and said, "Yeah, isn't it that Hu Ling? She hooked up with the CEO of Zhuoyue Culture by taking advantage of her innocent appearance. Humph, don't you think that in terms of background, how could I be weaker than Zhuoyue..."

My curiosity and gossip were completely aroused. Isn’t the president of Excellence Culture Zhuoyang

I laughed even more flatteringly, "So Hu Ling has given up?"

Li Ruobing shook her head. "She didn't. I heard that the main and supporting actors in my plays would become famous and would pester the director every day. She didn't even notice that the director had become fat as a pile of oil, but she still had the guts to do that."

I was very happy to hear that my love rival was having a hard time. But at the same time, I was a little surprised.

Isn't Hu Ling Zhuoyang's favorite? What's wrong? Now she can't even get a supporting role in a bloody TV series. Is it because Li Ruobing's background is too strong, or Zhuoyang...

Zhuo Yang doesn’t care about Hu Ling at all

I hope it's the second case. Even if that man is not mine now, I won't see my rival get him.

This would make me unhappy.

Maybe the expression on my face was too ferocious, Li Ruobing finally got back to the theme of his visit today.

"By the way, what's going on between you and Wen Li? They all say that you seduced Wen Li?"

Holy shit! I was deeply shocked! I was so nice to them, always providing them with good food and drinks, but I didn't expect them to say such things about me behind my back. I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

But the most important thing now is to stabilize Li Ruobing's emotions.

I sobbed, wiped my dry eyes, and pretended to be sad: "Strictly speaking, Wen Li is my savior."

So, I told Li Ruobing how I had a car accident, how I was kicked out by my husband, how I was seduced by a vixen, and then how I was rescued by Wen Li.

Of course, I didn’t say that my unfaithful ex-husband was Zhuo Yang, and of course Li Ruobing didn’t seem to care.

She seemed somewhat excited.

"Oh shit, I suddenly have an inspiration. I think the next script should be called "The Temptation of Ex-Wife." After saying this, Li Ruobing laughed and ran out the door.

I looked at the figure walking away, and suddenly I had a deep realization.

Have I said too much

Before I could lament my bad mouth, Li Ruobing, who had left in a hurry, suddenly came running back.

The beautiful woman had picturesque features but a rather ferocious face. She pointed at my nose and said loudly, "An Yue, I trust you for now. You'd better not seduce Wen Li, otherwise... I will make you pay for it!"

This time, Li Ruobing walked very slowly, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, like a proud queen.

Overall, I don't have anything to dislike about Li Ruobing. I envy her for her courage to love and hate, and for having a good job.

Oh, and some of them are good-looking too.

When I first saw income on my paycheck, I seriously wondered if I should leave the gym.

Because I found that Wen Li didn't pay much attention to Li Ruobing. Sometimes, I felt that Wen Li treated me better than her.

This made me feel deeply sad, because I still remembered Li Ruobing’s hot temper and her words that left me in trouble.

I decided to make it clear to Wen Li about keeping a distance and being able to be siblings of the opposite sex...

In fact, I think opposite-sex siblings are not good either. In this world, the word "godfather", "godmother", and "godsister" are always pronounced in the fourth tone.

I think the best way is to settle down, find another job, and then go far away. Zhuo Yang, Wen Li, to me, are just clouds.

But before I could put my idea into practice, a familiar yet surprising guest suddenly came to the fitness center.
