Fu Lingchu hadn’t received any news.
After finishing his heavy workload at the company, Fu Lingchu, for some unknown reason, didn’t choose to go home.
Instead, he drove to the hotel.
He had renewed the suite for Li Jing for ten days, but now it was empty.
Fu Lingchu clearly saw Li Jing leaving with Du Jinghuai, not looking back.
He was born a proud son of heaven, born into a top-tier wealthy family, with excellence ingrained in his bones. After taking charge of the Fu Group, he had never disappointed his parents, and personally expanding the business empire of the Fu Group.
The word “loss” didn’t exist in his life.carpreads.pages.dev
Except for Ye Yan, who was someone he couldn’t bear to touch or possess, everything else, as long as he wanted it, should be held tightly in his hands.
Not to mention, Li Jing was now willingly degrading herself, wasn’t she? Willing to be a woman who could be bought with money, a woman who could be summoned with just a phone call and a bank transfer.
…Thinking this, Fu Lingchu didn’t dial her number.
Because he knew it was all a facade.
After Li Jing herself defined their relationship as one based on money, Fu Lingchu was no longer willing to accept it.
…
That night, Fu Lingchu’s favorability rating actually increased by 1%.
Li Jing: ?
The love line was progressing, but the money wasn’t coming in?
What’s going on, Fu Lingchu?
Looks like she need to change the approach to harvesting this leek.
But thankfully, Fu Lingchu spent the whole night thinking about the substitute, and once he found out that the White Moonlight was almost in danger, he would definitely be driven mad with guilt, which would be beneficial for pushing the melodramatic love line.
Li Jing slept soundly in the guest room at Du Jinghuai’s house that night, because the great Acting Emperor Du wasn’t home.
She yawned and decided to spread the love by pulling on the second line.
Even without going to school, the little white flower had ways to increase her favorability with Feng Ce remotely.
Li Jing took out the unlimited supplementary card that Feng Ce had given her.
System: “Are you sure you want to use it?”
Li Jing: “Of course.”
At this moment, Feng Ce was lying in bed, feeling irritable.
He had been quite restless since returning home last night, and he couldn’t say exactly why. Even when his sister showed him the helmet she had bought for him, he was only momentarily happy. After that, his sister didn’t send him any more messages, and surprisingly, Feng Ce didn’t feel anxious or worried about it.
Damn that Li Jing.
What did Du Jinghuai do to her?
Feng Ce’s brows were furrowed, and just then, he received a text message.
He glanced at it for a moment, and it was a reminder of the spending record for his supplementary card.
Feng Ce immediately sat up—
Li Jing actually used his card?
Feng Ce wasn’t worried about the money, but he felt an indescribable disappointment.
That poor thing, did she really change?
Feng Ce frowned and opened the message.
[xx Bank】
Your card with the last number 6508 on X month X date at 11：35 made a Quick Payment (Convenience Bee Chain Store) 10.8 yuan]
Feng Ce was stunned.
She…
Used that unlimited supplementary card to buy a ten yuan loaf of bread at a convenience store.
For a moment, Feng Ce was frozen in bed.
The girl who ate cheap bread and saved a bite for dinner was back in front of him.
Feng Ce held his phone and raged:
That old bastard Du Jinghuai, he doesn’t even feed her?!
—Feng Ce’s favorability +2%
Li Jing received a notification from the system.
Effortlessly, she helped big Young Master Feng take another step towards 60% favorability.
No matter how many times, Li Jing had to exclaim:
Kids are so easy to manipulate!
By the next day, Ye Yan had probably stabilized.
That night, Du Jinghuai almost worried himself sick for her.
Ye Yan lay in the snow-white hospital bed, the housekeeper looking at her with worry and heartache.
“Miss, are you feeling better now?”
Ye Yan: “Mm, I’m feeling better.”
The housekeeper continued: “When I was contacting the doctors in China, President Fu and young master Feng also heard the news. They’ve called several times, they’re very worried, you see, which one do you want to reply to first?”
Ye Yan’s brow completely relaxed.
You see, it was still the same as before. They were vying for her attention, while she effortlessly navigated between them.
This world didn’t need another face exactly like hers!
This Li Jing was definitely not as simple as she appeared, although she realized it a bit late, it was still not too late. Ye Yan needed to thoroughly analyze Li Jing, to judge from her behavioral patterns what kind of tricks this person had up her sleeve.
Then…
She would make her influence disappear.
If she couldn’t, then she would make this person—disappear.
—Li Jing directly saw the backend earnings.
Looking at the “Ye Yan” in the details, she smiled kindly.
Finally remembered to spend money, my dear!
—Although she was just spending money to listen in on her phone.
It wasn’t really Ye Yan’s fault for spending so little on her, the male leads probably hadn’t made her feel a strong sense of crisis before reaching 50% favorability, as a sickly, scheming White Moonlight, her main focus was definitely on maintaining these three big fish.
But now that she had been stolen from, she was definitely going to start making things happen.
Looking at the current plot progress, Ye Yan’s return to China was not far off.
When the White Moonlight and the fake were suddenly brought closer, the real melodrama would begin. The male and female leads would suffer both physically and emotionally, car accidents, drugging, kidney removal, blood donation, and other old-fashioned plots would all be lined up in the back.
So Li Jing was very tolerant of her: as long as she spent money on her well in the future, she would still be her good little leekie^_^
Maybe her million-dollar bounty would depend on Ye Yan!
So, she still had to stimulate the White Moonlight—
Li Jing walked out of the guest room she was sleeping in.
Du Jinghuai was still not home.
He had been running around in China for Ye Yan, trying to get the best medical resources to help her recover. Fortunately, her condition hadn’t worsened, so Du Jinghuai finally felt relieved.
Du Jinghuai also didn’t have anyone watching Li Jing—in fact, he had completely forgotten about the person he bought with half his box office earnings.
Li Jing thought: It’s okay, woohoo, as long as the box office income goes up.
The high-end apartment didn’t have much of Du Jinghuai’s presence, he was a naturally cold and indifferent person. Li Jing looked around, then stopped in front of a half-open door.
Oh, this is a plot point delivered right to my doorstep.
Li Jing reached out, and the door opened.
This was a spacious and minimalist bedroom, with only a large bed and a wardrobe.
Li Jing’s gaze was immediately drawn to the photo hanging on the wall—
It was a back view.
Well, she could tell from the butt that it was Ye Yan.
Because Du Jinghuai occasionally needed to film variety shows, these things at home could potentially be recorded by cameras, so he could only hang a picture of Ye Yan’s back to soothe his longing.
Li Jing looked at the picture and stroked her chin.
Inspiration struck! √
She decided to artificially make this photo the first meeting between the substitute and the White Moonlight!
Then—
Li Jing gave the system a long lecture: “Use their strength to fight them, understand?”
The system couldn’t keep up with her thinking: “Wh-what? Use who to fight who?”
Li Jing directly pulled out her small flip phone and dialed her grandmother, automatically switching to voicemail.
This was the first phone call Ye Yan had listened to after monitoring her, and she was one hundred percent sure she would listen.
“Grandma, I’m at a big star’s house right now, but I can’t tell you who it is.” Li Jing chuckled, then her voice lowered, “You wouldn’t believe it, his movie just came out, and I, I watched it with him, it was so good…”
At this moment, Ye Yan, who was listening to the call, clenched her fingers, her gentle and serene demeanor no longer sustainable.
She felt like she was about to vomit blood, her body that had just stabilized.
—No wonder, no wonder A’huai didn’t notice her easter egg!
It was this bitch.
And, Du Jinghuai actually let her stay at his house?!
“…Mr. Du’s house is so big…”
“Hey—Grandma, this photo, this is xx coast of x country… I’ve seen it on TV,” but her voice became increasingly doubtful, “But who is this girl? It’s hanging here, she must be a very important friend of Mr. Du’s…”
Ye Yan’s emotions were already unconsciously fully mobilized, and now she felt a surge of pride.
She could tell that A’huai had definitely hung up her photo.
Ye Yan even felt a pang of regret that this fake couldn’t see her face.
—But, she would see it sooner or later.
Li Jing said into the phone: “No wonder, Mr. Du hopes so much…”
Li Jing on the other end of the phone was still talking to her grandmother who was lying in bed, but this piece of information made Ye Yan unconsciously perk up.
—A’huai, hopes for what?
“He hopes so much that it can be released overseas… Grandma, do you know why? It’s because, that way he can let that friend see it…”
Her voice grew softer.
With naive humility and longing.
“I know I don’t deserve to be Mr. Du’s friend like this person, I’m already dirty… No, no, Grandma… I will, I will be good.”
Outside the door, Du Jinghuai’s figure stood silently.
He only heard the last sentence.
The little white flower that was crushed in the mud, in the end, was still her own doing.
She had burned her own depravity in front of everyone, but in the absence of anyone, she quietly kept a piece of kindhearted sincerity.
Du Jinghuai watched this scene for a long time.
—Du Jinghuai’s favorability +1%
Li Jing: Laughing to death.
The system’s location prompt is really useful, you can make the male lead hear as much as you want.
“Use their strength to fight them—meaning use the male lead to fight the White Moonlight.” Li Jing said to the system, “Pushing the plot and harvesting leeks at the same time.”
The system was already in awe: “Damn. As expected of you.”
In the end, Du Jinghuai didn’t say a word, he just left quietly.
And Ye Yan hung up the phone on the other side.
She hadn’t wasted her efforts after all—
Li Jing, that stupid woman, probably didn’t even know how much she had revealed.
Since she had the upper hand, Ye Yan was always a woman who acted quickly and decisively. She used all her connections and directly bought the overseas rights to Du Jinghuai’s film.
The White Moonlight lying in bed was still weak, but she said softly into Du Jinghuai’s phone: “A’huai, thank you for worrying about me, for everything you’ve done for me.”
“I just want more people to see you… I also want to see you on screen as soon as possible.”
“Yanyan…” Du Jinghuai was touched.
His heart softened.
He just didn’t know why, a corner of his heart felt a little doubtful, Ye Yan had actually bought the rights right after Li Jing finished saying those words.
But—he never doubted Ye Yan.
“I’m really… very touched.”
Once the movie was released overseas, the box office in the new territory would be raking in money like crazy.
Ye Yan gently satisfied the man’s need for ambition: “You’re definitely going to be the box office champion this year.”
Du Jinghuai was moved.
Li Jing was even more goddamn moved—
Wuwuwu.
Box office champion!
Let her be rich to death!
