The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Wen Yu was stunned by these words. Her expression became indescribable: “Are you crazy?”

Fu Chun’s face turned pale, but he quickly took a deep breath, looking concerned: “Could what I saw just now be fake? If Jiang Zong finds out, what do you think his reaction will be? Seize the opportunity now and leave quickly.”

Wen Yu thought what she said made some sense, especially if Xiao Chen was indeed her lover.

However, she felt she could still stabilize the situation. The days of clinging to powerful figures were too enjoyable, especially now that she had acquired a cruise ship; leaving so hastily would be too much!

So, she asked casually, “So what?”

Seeing her enjoying the show, Fu Chun’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He couldn’t help but add a touch of sarcasm to his tone: “So, are you planning to occupy the position of Jiang Zong’s wife? Yan Yan and Jiang Zong have known each other since childhood, put in so much effort to stand by his side. Do you think you can compare?”

Wen Yu frowned, “Did she ask you to say this to me?”

Fu Chun’s eyes sparkled, and without hesitation, he nodded: “Yes! She has already met Jiang Zong again. She personally established the UT brand, which is not only thriving internationally but also gaining popularity domestically. Now that the company has successfully gone public with a market value of tens of billions, you can’t compete with her! She has been working abroad for the development of her career, and now that she’s back, it’s for Jiang Zong. You should give up sooner rather than later.”

Wen Yu was stunned by this astonishing train of thought.

If Jiang Yunyan wanted a capable woman, why would he wait for ‘Wen Yu’ to forcefully marry him? He could easily find someone else.

Trying to hold back her laughter, Wen Yu looked at Fu Chun confidently and turned her eyes, feigning surprise, “Really? Is she that amazing?”

Fu Chun immediately nodded, “Absolutely!”

“Then let her tell my husband that as long as he proposes a divorce, I will not interfere.” Wen Yu smiled, looking troubled. “But you know about the rumors between Jiang Yunjin and me before. Even with his younger brother, causing such a commotion and becoming widely known, he didn’t mind. So even if you take photos this time, do you think my husband will care? Why don’t you try posting them? I’m quite curious.”

Then, Wen Yu, feeling self-satisfied, touched her face, “There’s no way around it; I’m too good-looking. My husband would rather wear a cuckold’s hat than get a divorce. Oh, the agony.”

With that, she briskly went upstairs, showing no signs of fear.

Leaving Fu Chun in shock, his expression constantly changing, ultimately contorting into a twisted face.

Could it be fake?!

How could a man endure being cuckolded and not get a divorce, especially someone as capable and well-connected as Jiang Zong?

But what Wen Yu just said didn’t sound like a joke. Especially considering the intense rumors about her and Jiang Yunjin before, and Jiang Zong’s experience in the entertainment industry, holding shares in Jiang Shang, he couldn’t possibly be unaware of such a big disturbance.

Fu Chun, dazed, hurried to the bathroom. Since there were cameras everywhere here, she was afraid of being filmed. Unfortunately, they only had a tent, which didn’t soundproof. Thus, she had to make the call in the bathroom.

—
The phone connected, and Fu Chun immediately said, “Yanyan, I’ve gone to great lengths to capture evidence of Wen Yu’s affair. Tonight, a man came to pick her up in a car, and it took forty minutes for him to bring her back. It’s a very young man, just the two of them alone!”

On the other end of the phone, Xu Ruo Yan exclaimed, “You captured this? Is it true?”

“Absolutely true! I’m sending it to you.” Fu Chun asserted, sending the photos. He heard Xu Ruo Yan’s shocked voice on the phone.

She continued to elaborate, “I initially wanted her to divorce Mr. Jiang on her own, but she refused. It must be her greed for the Jiang family’s money. Yanyan, you need to figure out a solution. How can such a person stand by Mr. Jiang’s side?”

Xu Ruo Yan remained silent for a while, expressing uncertainty, “It’s not necessarily true…”

Although the photos captured Wen Yu getting in and out of the car, they didn’t show other circumstances, making it impossible to prove she was really having an affair.

Fu Chun rolled her eyes; she knew it.

It was a waste of Xu Ruo Yan’s advantageous conditions. They had met abroad; she was initially a model but less famous than Xu Ruo Yan. Unable to earn much, she returned to China and got noticed, starring in a TV series, skyrocketing to fame.

She thought her efforts would surely surpass Xu Ruo Yan’s.

Little did she know that after a few years, Xu Ruo Yan had become the owner of a listed company, while she remained a struggling frontline artist, manipulated by capital.

However, Fu Chun was pragmatic; Xu Ruo Yan’s overseas resources were advantageous to her. Therefore, the two reunited like old friends once again.

For good sisters.

Until she heard that the man Xu Ruoyan had secretly loved for over a decade, now married to Wen Yu, was Jiang Yunyan.

Especially since this man founded Jiangshang Entertainment. If she could connect with him, Fu Chun couldn’t help but think she might become a capital herself. He’s always been fair to those under him, and though Jiangshang has a new owner, he still holds the majority of the shares, and the company continues to develop according to his rules.

In the company, artists who have made significant contributions are given a share of Jiangshang, and they are never forced to act in roles they dislike or take on unwanted commercial performances. This freedom has contributed to Jiangshang’s dominance in the entertainment industry.

So she decided to give it a try.

She hadn’t heard of any wealthy young ladies being on par with Wen Yu, especially considering how Xu Ruoyan had previously pursued Jiang Yunjin. It seemed she wasn’t a formidable person’s daughter.

Since that’s the case, as long as Wen Yu steps back and Xu Ruoyan accepts her situation, her overseas development would surely be smoother.

If Xu Ruoyan could be with Jiang Yunyan, that would be even better.

At worst…

If Xu Ruoyan failed, she would bear the brunt of Jiang’s anger, especially as her recent dramas were often compared, and unfortunately, hers tended to be the one criticized. So, deliberately putting Wen Yu in a difficult position, hoping to stir up her feud with Su Lengyue, unexpectedly led to their surprisingly good relationship.

Fu Chun truly admired Su Lengyue, the woman bound to Jiang Yunjin since entering the industry, with a depth of strategy and indifference.

Later, she tried to pair Wen Yu with Xu Bin. If they stirred up some scandal, it would align with her intentions. But Wen Yu didn’t take the bait.

Luckily, tonight she noticed Wen Yu going out alone, followed her for almost an hour, endured mosquito bites, captured something, and didn’t waste her efforts.

Fu Chun only regretted underestimating Wen Yu’s thick skin; she could say such things without fear. Now that she finally caught her in a compromising position, Xu Ruoyan seemed to be wavering?

Fu Chun, frustrated: “A man and a woman alone, leaving for forty minutes at night, doesn’t that imply something? Remember, she’s a married woman! Would you bear to see President Jiang wearing a green hat?”

On the other side, Xu Ruoyan hesitated slightly. She genuinely couldn’t bear to see Jiang Yunyan, such an outstanding person, being cuckolded by Wen Yu!

After learning about Wen Yu’s situation, Xu Ruoyan felt she wasn’t worthy of him. But the two were already married, and she couldn’t say anything more. However, Fu Chun’s words gave her a glimmer of hope.

Xu Ruoyan gritted her teeth: “I understand. Thank you, Chun Chun. By the way, about the audition for that sci-fi film in M country you mentioned last time, I’ll help you get in touch.”

“Thanks, Yan Yan!” Fu Chun smiled.

The call ended.

She felt relieved; tonight’s hour-long wait in the dark wasn’t in vain. Sci-fi films held a significant market share in M country, both domestically and internationally. If she could participate, her status would change drastically.

Ironically, every time she managed to connect with contacts to film a movie, she always encountered subpar scripts, leading to low box office and poor reviews. This forced her to remain in the television industry.

Fu Chun took a deep breath and returned to her tent.

As usual, she logged into Weibo, first tending to her fans.

They played a role in her success, and she couldn’t ignore them. However, as she opened Weibo, her eyes widened.

Weibo’s top trending: [Hundreds of marketing accounts simultaneously deactivated]

Second trending: [Jiangshang Entertainment Legal Team]

Fu Chun: “???”

She felt a sudden jolt in her heart, a bad intuition. When she opened it, she wished she could just faint at the sight. Above was a gossip blogger’s post, revealing that since the morning, Jiangshang Entertainment had been relentlessly sending legal letters—not warnings, but actual lawsuits!

Following that, various marketing accounts, anyone who had criticized Wen Yu or followed the rhythm of pursuing Jiang Yunjin, swiftly deleted their posts one after another. At first, the commotion wasn’t significant.

It wasn’t until 7 PM when one marketing account couldn’t handle the pressure, directly deactivated their Weibo account. It seemed to trigger a signal, and one after another, marketing accounts started deactivating.

Soon, someone exposed the person behind one marketing account in a WeChat group, crying out, “What do I do, everyone? Jiangshang Entertainment is serious this time. They’re compiling my past statements and even offering free help to other artists for lawsuits. It’s not enough; they keep piling up. I’m terrified; this money isn’t easy to earn. I don’t know how much I’ll have to compensate this time…”

This time, the comments below were harmonious: “Enjoyed it! Jiangshang Entertainment, who reorganized the entertainment industry, deserves credit!”
“The legal team at Jiangshang is incredible!!! Look at these marketing accounts, dare they mess with the rhythm again.”
“So satisfying! I’m currently screaming in my dorm. My roommate asked what’s wrong; after I explained, the whole dorm started screaming.”
“Deactivating hundreds of marketing accounts, amazing, it had to be Jiangshang Entertainment.”

The trending topic seemed to have recently surfaced, so Fu Chun casually refreshed, finding thousands of comments again. The heat was still rising; late at night was the best time for entertainment. People were eagerly refreshing, hoping to see more marketing accounts deactivating with manipulated narratives.

Most people were delighted.

Except for a few, like Fu Chun, the production team behind “Jiangnan Spring,” and some studios trying to suppress Wen Yu to avoid another competitor taking a share of the pie.

Maintaining a marketing account wasn’t easy, and with this, many studios’ accounts were facing even more losses. Especially if the other side traced it back…

Fu Chun’s face turned pale; he never expected that after all these years, Jiang Yunyan’s move would be so ruthless, showing no mercy! In the entertainment industry, usually, sending a legal letter is enough to scare people. It’s not like legal teams work for free!

Just half an hour ago, she had somewhat stabilized her emotions after offending Wen Yu. Now, she felt a chill down her spine again, shaking her head in disbelief: It shouldn’t be, right? She doesn’t seem like someone who holds grudges.

This night passed without any incidents. The next day, when the guests woke up, everything seemed normal, except for the peculiar expression on Fu Chun’s face as observed by Wen Yu – a mix of surprise, confusion, and apprehension.

Last night, she boldly demanded a divorce and suggested Wen Yu step down. Why does she look like this today? What happened?

Wen Yu signed a contract last night, returned too late, and went to bed early due to lack of sleep. He hadn’t even had a chance to check his phone.

Fu Chun didn’t stir up trouble, and Xu Bin didn’t dare do anything in front of the cameras. The eight of them had breakfast together, concluding the program.

As the production team left and the guests dispersed, only Jiang Yunjin looked back at Wen Yu with reluctance. Yuan Tan blocked his gaze, knowing the complicated relationship between the two, fearing Wen Yu might approach again.

Only Su Lengyue knew what he was reluctant to part with, but they each had other commitments. He could only helplessly pull him away, saying, “Let’s go. Your birthday is in July; we’ll ask Xiaoyu for help. She’ll be more accommodating than your big brother.”

“Really?” Jiang Yunjin couldn’t believe it. Wen Yu accommodating?

What a joke!

Su Lengyue: “As long as you stop bullying Xiaoyu.”

Jiang Yunjin began to doubt life. When did he bully her? Except for the initial time when Wen Yu pursued him, occasionally his words were too much, but he hadn’t bullied her since then. Wasn’t it him who got bullied?

But for the cruise ship, he admitted it!

As they left, looking at the awkwardly bidding farewell Xiaoyu, Jiang Yunjin hesitated for a moment and, for the first time, proactively called out, “Sister-in-law, I’m leaving.”

Wen Yu: “???”
