Feng Ce’s favorability rating soared directly.
It was only a little short of breaking 90%, meaning that the second male lead’s line would truly become the first fish Ye Yan lost, completely becoming the substitute’s lickspittle.
So the first and third male leads couldn’t be left behind—
To prevent her from discovering the truth, the male leads had to work harder!!
Li Jing felt that her foundation was the epitome of harvesting leeks, what a brilliant idea.
Anyway, there was no logic to speak of in old-fashioned melodramatic novels.
They could be illogical and torture, torture, torture, and Li Jing could be ruthless and kill, kill, kill!
-—–
When he received Feng Ce’s message, Fu Lingchu was stunned for a moment.
As the head of the Fu Group, President Fu’s daily work was high-pressure and busy, but even so, the foundation project was personally pushed by him, and all the funds account deposits would be directly reported to him.
To expand the foundation and fulfill Li Jing’s wish to help more people, it was indeed possible to invite some celebrities to promote it.
But—Fu Lingchu had never thought of having Li Jing as the spokesperson.
But with Feng Ce’s words, his mind uncontrollably imagined Li Jing surrounded by spotlights… That face was already perfect, it had already been tested by the market, hadn’t it.
Fu Lingchu had photos sent by his bodyguards in his hand, Li Jing’s eyes were downcast, her eyes devoid of light.
If… Li Jing was also held high, would the lost brilliance in her eyes return?
So that day.carpreads.pages.dev
After completing his high-intensity work, Fu Lingchu went to the hospital again.
He should have gone to see Ye Yan first, but when Fu Lingchu came to his senses, he was already standing outside Li Jing’s ward.
Li Jing had already heard the system’s location prompt and knew that Fu Lingchu had arrived.
She let him stew outside for a while.
After all, with Fu Lingchu’s strong desire for control, although he hadn’t been here for the past few days, he must have been watching her every move, and her favorability rating had even climbed by 2%.
—Oh, of course, the attending physician was excluded from his surveillance.
Doctor Lu was her exclusive bug.
The young CEO in a black suit quietly looked at the girl in the ward.
She didn’t notice the person standing outside, she just sat quietly on the bed, facing the window, watching the sunlight slowly dim, the sunset slowly descending.
It was as if the vitality of the earth was fading, just like her.
In Ye Yan’s ward, one floor up, there were piles of flowers sent by people, even the ward was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Ye Yan was naturally well-liked and loved by everyone, so people would come to visit her every now and then.
Li Jing’s room was empty.
Her loneliness and solitude, facing her own tragic fate alone.
Fu Lingchu couldn’t tell what was churning in his chest, but when he realized it, he had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Only then did Li Jing notice that he had arrived, her dull eyes widened slightly, then she lowered her eyelashes again.
She returned to her state of calm numbness.
Although Fu Lingchu could see a lot of photos every day, this was the first time the two of them had met face-to-face since he forced her to donate blood.
The room was silent, after a while.
Fu Lingchu asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“No,” Li Jing said.
Fu Lingchu continued to ask, “Did you sleep well last night?”
“Hmm,” Li Jing continued to answer with a single word.
System: “Host, you’re so cool!!”
Li Jing giggled, “It’s already 82% at this stage, I can be as cool as I want.”
Anyway, the hormone levels were there, the male leads could no longer turn back.
Fu Lingchu’s thin lips pursed slightly, realizing that Li Jing didn’t want to talk to him.
He could actually use other methods to force her to answer his questions properly. But the taunts he used to hang on his lips, and the hurt he could easily say, seemed to become very difficult.
Fu Lingchu knew that Li Jing liked him.
However, after accepting the blood donation, she had also… completely lost hope in him.
So a stronger sense of unease arose in Fu Lingchu’s heart:
If Li Jing knew that she was Ye Yan’s substitute from the beginning, would she be so disappointed that she would leave this world, leave all of them?
Fear of losing someone meant the love line was entering its late stage.
—Fu Lingchu’s favorability +1%
Fu Lingchu subconsciously stopped himself from thinking about this question.
He took a deep breath and looked at Li Jing, saying, “The foundation is progressing well. We can finalize the charter and officially establish it within this month.”
Li Jing finally looked up, a glimmer of light in her eyes. “Really?”
The glimmer of light in her eyes was so intense that it made Fu Lingchu look away. “Yes.”
—How could it not be intense? This is her biggest patch of leeks!
Fu Lingchu looked out the window. The evening weather was just right. She had been stuck in this ward ever since she started the blood transfusion. So he said, “Let’s go for a walk… I’ll tell you more about the foundation.” Including asking Li Jing to be the spokesperson.
Li Jing was delighted: yes, yes, anything about leeks is good news ^_^
She maintained the image of a pure and innocent little white flower who was still concerned about others and eager to help more people in the face of despair. She lowered her head and walked out of the ward with Fu Lingchu, arriving at the garden in front of the hospital building.
There were only a few patients in the garden, being pushed around in wheelchairs by their families.
A patient like Li Jing, young, beautiful, and with no leg problems, was particularly noticeable.
Fu Lingchu walked beside her, but his gaze kept lingering on Li Jing.
The girl in the setting sun was quiet and beautiful. From her forehead to her nose tip, a smooth curve was drawn. Her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, very docile—yes, the stubborn girl had become docile, but Fu Lingchu actually missed the Li Jing who had pointed her finger at him, her eyes filled with angry tears.
Fu Lingchu raised his hand and tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose.
Forget it, as long as he kept her by his side… he would make it up to her. When Ye Yan’s body recovered, he would give Li Jing anything she wanted.
Maintain the status quo… that’s it…
A middle-aged nurse walked towards them in the garden. Seeing Fu Lingchu with the girl, she looked at Li Jing with concern.
“You’re still outside? Go back to the 17th floor. The doctor hasn’t checked you yet today.”
Fu Lingchu stopped in his tracks, his pupils constricting.
—Ye Yan was on the 17th floor, Li Jing was on the 16th floor.
It wasn’t the nurse’s fault. Every time Fu Lingchu came, he went to see the person on the 17th floor. The doctors and nurses had only ever seen them together. And today, Fu Lingchu was taking this young lady for a walk in the hospital garden, so they naturally assumed it was with the young lady on the 17th floor.
Li Jing almost burst out laughing: In the transmigration world, everyone is just a tool, serving the plot!
So she instantly turned pale, her lips moving slightly: “Se-seventeen floor? But I’m on the si-sixteen floor…”
The head nurse was stunned for a moment, not realizing what was happening: “Ah? You’re not—”
A fierce light flashed in Fu Lingchu’s eyes, and he interrupted her: “Thank you.”
But he wasn’t a child like Feng Ce, but a mature and steady CEO who had experienced the intrigues and deceits of the business world. He had excellent adaptability in the face of unexpected situations.
He smiled faintly, holding Li Jing’s arm, and glanced at the head nurse casually, saying, “You have to deal with so many patients every day, you can’t just point directions randomly. We must have taken a wrong turn.”
The head nurse was startled by his gaze, patted her head, and mumbled as she walked away: “Oh, oh, I got it wrong…”
Li Jing’s eyes were filled with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment: “But… I’ve never seen this nurse before…”
Fu Lingchu’s heart was churning, but his gaze remained unchanged.
He couldn’t let Li Jing know the truth—
“It doesn’t matter, the people in the hospital aren’t important,” Fu Lingchu put his arm around her thin shoulders and changed direction, “By the way—your foundation needs a promotional video. Feng Ce has sent the money, please be the spokesperson.”
Li Jing was easily distracted.
After all, this plot point was just a prelude. The truth would only be revealed in a grand scene with everyone present.
Li Jing was very concerned about the implementation of her leeks, her eyes shining with a glimmer of hope: “Re-really? Can I… really?”
Fu Lingchu’s dark gaze met hers, and he actually felt the urge to lift her up high.
Let Li Jing experience it too, the glamorous world she had never experienced…
The light in her eyes had disappeared, and Fu Lingchu wanted to bring it back.
“Of course you can.” Fu Lingchu said softly.
With her face, of course she could.
—Fu Lingchu’s favorability +1%
Li Jing: Cut it, cut it, you can, I can too ^_^
Ye Yan soon heard the news that Li Jing was going to shoot a promotional video for the foundation.
After her initial displeasure, she only thought Li Jing was overreaching herself.
But Ye Yan thought again, perhaps… this wasn’t a bad thing.
The original fake was simply not comparable to her, but now she was challenging Ye Yan’s area of expertise, and the final outcome would be nothing but a ridiculous imitation of someone else’s beauty.
Just right, let Fu Lingchu and the others see that a frog at the bottom of a well would always be a frog at the bottom of a well, even if it tries its best to imitate, it would still be ten thousand miles away from the moon in the sky.
Ye Yan looked at the blood bag and sneered.
It seemed she needed to find her previous works to help them remember her beauty…
And at this time—
Li Jing sat leisurely in the nanny car on her way to the filming location.
Thanks for the invitation? She had just finished a quick transmigration novel in the last world, and she’d won the Best Actress award. With her acting skills, comprehension, and expressiveness, the entertainment industry was a simple task, much easier than cultivating immortality.
However, because the endorsement fee for this promotional film was quite good, twenty million yuan had already been transferred to her account, so Li Jing was in a very good mood.
And this time she went to film, not to shine brightly, but to capture Ye Yan’s demeanor, and then achieve the highest level of a stand-in—to be indistinguishable from the real.
To make the “replaceability” of the White Moonlight infinitely stronger, to completely confuse the male leads who were already infatuated, to make them realize that the stand-in could shine just like the White Moonlight—yet they had become the culprits who destroyed her with their own hands.
Once this emotional groundwork was laid, she could gracefully step into the crematorium.
Li Jing: All the tricks, it’s all this sister’s tricks ^_^
The filming location for this shoot was next to the studio where Du Jinghuai was shooting a magazine, but Li Jing didn’t go out of her way to make her presence known.
Because although Du Jinghuai’s 72% favorability was currently lagging behind, Li Jing wasn’t worried—because after the truth was revealed, this dog Du Jinghuai still had a melodramatic plot point of being obsessed with the female lead, which could be a one-hit kill.
The film crew, being in the entertainment industry, naturally remembered Ye Yan. But perhaps they had received a joint gag order from Fu Lingchu and Feng Ce, and no one in the entire crew mentioned Ye Yan after seeing Li Jing.
“You haven’t filmed before, right? It’s okay, just read the script first, and then memorize the lines later…”
They didn’t have high hopes for Li Jing.
If it were really that person who came to film, they would have to treat her like a goddess, after all, she was a former Best Actress!
But this one in front of them, although she looked the same, was a fake after all, and it would be enough if she could perform at one percent of the real one’s level.
System observing: It’s not bragging, it feels like no one in this world can act better than its host!!
Li Jing didn’t say anything, she took the script and looked at it.
A very simple storyline, a girl suffering from the same bone marrow disease as Ye Yan, with dreams in her heart, step by step she walks onto the stage and shines with the help of others.
The stylist did her makeup and styling, and in fact, this face was already flawless, so after a little touch-up, the person in the mirror was already stunningly beautiful.
“Uh, this, please go this way—” The script supervisor looked at her, his speech a little stammered.
Li Jing stood calmly in front of the camera.
The director, holding a cigarette in his mouth, said casually: “Okay, don’t be nervous, just recite it according to the script…”
However, when the filming began, the cameraman behind the camera and the director behind the monitor were all stunned.
This natural delivery, this lively expression??
This was even more like a Best Actress than the real Best Actress!
Li Jing: Easy peasy ^_^
The same face, Ye Yan’s pitiful demeanor was easy to imitate. And Ye Yan’s voice and pauses were not difficult to replicate—because Du Jinghuai had taken her to see Ye Yan’s musical.
Li Jing completed the filming as easily as chopping vegetables, making people think she was a natural talent who was born to act.
Twenty million yuan earned cleanly!
After she left, Du Jinghuai came out from the corner of the studio.
His fingertips were slightly warm.
Li Jing’s performance just now made him think he had seen Ye Yan…
But it was Li Jing.
He knew clearly—in the story in front of the camera, the person who rose from the ordinary bottom and shone on the stage was Li Jing.
It turned out she could shine like this.
—Du Jinghuai’s favorability +3%
