Chapter 46 - 46 45 Could It Be They Sacrificed Themselves

Chapter 46: Chapter 45 Could It Be They Sacrificed Themselves? Chapter 46: Chapter 45 Could It Be They Sacrificed Themselves? “Ah??!!!”

It was a total WTF moment!!!

Wenyan was completely flustered, “Director, that’s not what you said just now. Didn’t we agree to stick together, how did our little boat of friendship capsize so suddenly?”

The color of Wenyan’s face changed faster than a capsizing boat, and Zhou Junye couldn’t bear to tease her any longer when he saw her like this.

“Just kidding. You’re the actor I carefully selected after many rounds, of course, I won’t kick you out of the crew just because you did something righteous and were smeared and retaliated against. If I did that, wouldn’t I be no different from Zhang Cheng, abetting a tyrant.”

“That’s what I thought,” Wenyan sighed with relief, “This is the right way to deal with a director.”

Zhou Junye smiled, “So the crew will cover the money, no need for you to pay out of your own pocket. Alright, it’s late, go back and rest.”

“Okay, thank you, Director!”

Zhou Junye felt a bit embarrassed seeing how sincerely Wenyan thanked him.

Just as Wenyan was about to leave, he suddenly called out to her.

“Do you really not know? Someone invested five million to ensure I take good care of you. So this money, it’s like someone already paid it for you.”

Wenyan: “!!!”

She suddenly realized that she was either in a state of confusion or on the way to being confused every day.

“Alright, I understand by that expression of yours that you genuinely didn’t know.”

“…Who was it?”

“Since you were unaware, I suggest you might want to ask your family or friend. It’s better for you to communicate among yourselves. I shouldn’t reveal too much on my side. Oh, and when you go out, could you please close the door behind you, thank you.”

“Sure, no need to thank.”

Wenyan left Zhou Junye’s room with a perplexed look and took out her silenced phone.

–

A few minutes earlier.

Shen Jinghe saw that Wenyan stayed in Zhou Junye’s room and did not come out for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and then sent her a message.

‘Wenyan, wouldn’t you be thinking of using the casting couch to keep your role by staying in Zhou Junye’s room, right?’

As soon as he sent this message…

Su Yang’s message popped up immediately:

‘!!! What casting couch?’

‘Why is Yanyan in the director’s room so late?’

‘What on earth is going on?’

‘Are you there, Jinghe? Answer me!’

A series of messages blew up, and only then did Shen Jinghe realize he had sent the message to the wrong chat!

He had, damn it, sent that message to the ‘Our Family’ group chat!

He immediately withdrew it.

Su Yang: ‘Withdrawing it is useless. I’ve already seen and saved a screenshot.’

Su Yang: Screenshot.JPG.

Shen Jinghe’s head was spinning. He never imagined that in his life, he’d commit such a mindless and upsetting blunder of sending a message to the wrong chat.

Su Yang: ‘We even invested five million in that director for your crew, and this is how he takes care of Yanyan for us? I’m going to have a word with him.’

Shen Jinghe: ‘Mom, don’t. I trust Zhou Junye.’

Shen Jinghe quickly interrupted the crew member who was talking to him: “Sorry, I need to make a call to my family. You can coordinate the announcement with my assistant.”

–

At this very moment.

Wenyan, who was puzzled about who had invested five million in the crew, turned on her phone.

In fact, the first person she thought of was Su Yang.

After all, in this world, aside from her foster mother Su Yang, there probably wasn’t anyone else who would specifically do something like this for her.

When she switched on her previously silenced phone, there it was, Su Yang saying she had invested five hundred thousand with Zhou Junye.

What was even more outrageous was the previous conversation they had.

Wenyan had the look of an elderly person trying to figure out a smartphone.

Shen Jinghe’s imagination was ridiculously wild.

He actually suspected that she had gone to offer herself up to Zhou Junye through some unsavory, unspoken rules.

And what the hell was his last sentence all about?

He said he trusted Zhou Junye.

What, so Wenyan’s character wasn’t worth anything now?

She immediately replied to Shen Jinghe’s message.

‘??? What is Second Brother thinking? Dad is the chairman of Shen Group, Mom is a well-known big-time designer, and Second Brother is a top celebrity in the entertainment industry. With such a powerful lineup, do I really need to sell myself out for a mere role through shady dealings?’

‘Hmph, I’m mad, the kind that won’t be easy to coax.’

‘Really so angry. I must post a few unflattering photos of someone to suppress the shock.’

Su Yang created this group initially to make it convenient for Wenyan to share her own and Shen Jinghe’s photos.

So Wenyan secretly took quite a few pictures of Shen Jinghe.

But they were all taken in public and didn’t invade his privacy.

And her so-called unflattering photos were just some blurry ones.

True 360-degree handsome guys can’t be captured with bad photos.

After sending those, Wenyan went back to her room and then called Su Yang.

Just then, Su Yang had finished her call with Shen Jinghe and saw the messages Wenyan had sent to the group.

However, she didn’t answer Wenyan’s call but instead sent a group video.

Featuring herself, Wenyan, and Shen Jinghe.

Actually, seeing the ‘unflattering photos’ Wenyan posted in the group, Su Yang knew she wasn’t truly mad at Shen Jinghe.

So she was smiling during the video.

“Yanyan, don’t be angry, I have already scolded your Second Brother on the phone. He was rude, but he’s also worried about you.”

Shen Jinghe: “No, I am not worried about her at all.”

Su Yang: “Didn’t you originally plan to send a message to Yanyan alone but accidentally posted it to the group?”

Shen Jinghe: “No, I retracted it.”

Su Yang: “I took a screenshot.”

Shen Jinghe: “I retracted that too.”

Su Yang: “Enough, enough, going back and forth like a spinning wheel. The words you said just now weren’t very nice, apologize to Yanyan.”

“Apologize? I would like to ask her why she is taking photos of me without my consent and posting them in the group?”

“You really can’t blame Yanyan for that, I asked her to post them. I created this group specifically to collect your photos, seeing as you’re hardly home 365 days a year. Your dad is also in the group, he actually also—”

“I have to get up at three o’clock tomorrow morning, I’m going to take a shower, hanging up.”

Right after saying that, the screen on Shen Jinghe’s end went dark.

Wenyan blinked: “Second Brother seems to be angry, is it inappropriate to post his photos from now on?”

“No way, you mustn’t blame yourself. The main reason he hung up was because I mentioned your dad, it’s not because of you. But actually, this is already an improvement. It’s not like I haven’t made groups before, but he would leave as soon as he saw your dad in the group. He didn’t leave this time; it’s a good sign!

“By the way, I heard about the trending topic from your Second Brother. He said the production team will deal with it. Are you sure you don’t need the family’s help?”

Speaking of that, Wenyan just happened to have a question for Su Yang.

“No need! You’ve already invested five million in the production; we can’t ask for more money from the family. Mom, why didn’t you tell me you invested in the production for the director to take care of me?”

“You siblings both don’t want to make your family situation public, right? The family investment was dealt with through a third party. Besides, you got the role on your own merit before the investment; the director recognized your talent, independent of the investment. The family didn’t interfere with your acting, just asked the director to be more attentive to your living conditions, that’s all.”

“Wuu wuu, only a mother is good in this world, a child with a mother is a treasure. Mom, you are too good to me, love you! Heart sign!!”

Watching Wenyan act like she’s presenting a treasure, alternating between confessions of love and making heart signs, Su Yang couldn’t help but feel a heartfelt emotion.

That five million was well spent.

And it increased her communication with her second son.

It was like a buy-one-get-one-free deal!

No, it was buy one, get two—if the movie’s a hit, they might even make a profit in the future!
