The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 51

Xu Ruoyan hurriedly took out her phone to prove it, but when she opened it, there were no chat records at all. Every time this topic came up, Fu Chun was the one who called her directly!

She trusted Fu Chun and never thought about recording their calls, so now, when Wen Yu asked, she realized she couldn’t prove her innocence.

And what Fu Chun did…

She suddenly felt a chill on her scalp. How dare Fu Chun?!

Thinking back to the night a few days ago when she was recording the show and called herself, Xu Ruoyan suddenly realized something and felt her hands and feet go cold.

She wasn’t really someone whose mind was full of romantic love; this trip was more about unwillingness, wanting to make one last desperate attempt. However, at this moment, what she clearly realized was that the hypocrisy and betrayal of her friend were what hurt her the most.

The best friends she thought were sincere had met during the toughest days, supporting each other. Later, Xu Ruoyan got ahead first; wasn’t it always her who brought Fu Chun to every event?

Later, when Fu Chun returned to develop her career in China, Xu Ruoyan sincerely wished her well. Until last year, when the two met at their peak, she was truly proud of Fu Chun. No matter how many people online criticized Fu Chun, she always believed it was a misunderstanding by netizens. In her heart, Fu Chun was still the girl in her memories who supported each other with her.

Fu Chun admired her connections abroad, and Xu Ruoyan worked hard to help her by introducing contacts. A few days ago, she went abroad for company business, but she also specifically took two days to invite the person in charge there to dinner, hoping to secure an audition opportunity.

And now, it’s the same person stabbing her in the back!

…

…

If it weren’t for Fu Chun’s persuasion, she would have already given up!

How could such a scene happen?

Xu Ruoyan trembled with anger all over, looked at Wen Yu, and the man beside her who showed a cold expression towards her, and quickly calmed down.

Not to mention anything else, offending Jiang Yunyan would bring no good to herself. Previously, Jiang Yunyan had helped her for the sake of being classmates, which made her development in the country much smoother. Now, she was afraid that…

Her face turned pale instantly, and she immediately tried to make amends.

Xu Ruoyan directly bent down to apologize: « I’m sorry, I will give you an explanation for this matter. » Then she looked at Jiang Yunyan again: « President Jiang, please believe me, I really didn’t! »

Jiang Yunyan frowned slightly and said coldly, « I only care about the outcome of this matter. » At the same time, he warned, « You’re supposed to apologize for more than just this one thing. »

Xu Ruoyan came back to her senses and looked at the table where a photo still remained. Suddenly, she realized that when she looked at Wen Yu again, the resentment and injustice had already faded. No matter what she did, Jiang Yunyan liked this person—liked her so much that he didn’t care about anything else and could remain calm even when seeing such a photo.

She was no match for her. Even if these two really got divorced one day, she might not have a single chance.

Xu Ruoyan forced out an ugly smile and said hoarsely, « Miss Wen, I’m sorry. I also offended you in this matter. There won’t be a next time. Once I figure out the whole reason, I will come to apologize in person. »

After calming down, she realized that she had indeed acted impulsively.

After waiting for more than ten years, with one hope dashed, her emotions were naturally turbulent. So when she saw a glimmer of hope, she rushed forward impatiently, without questioning its truth or reason, driven solely by that surge of emotion.

Fu Chun was at fault, but she was the same.

Xu Ruoyan was, after all, a self-made businesswoman. With reason restored, for the sake of her career, she became even more humble, bowing once again, even deeper than before.

Wen Yu’s expression changed slightly, and she quickly moved aside.

When you do something wrong, you must be punished, but she didn’t like this way of apologizing; it felt strange.

Jiang Yunyan also frowned, stepped aside, and said, « There’s no need to come over and apologize in person. Let’s consider this matter closed. »

His expression was cold. Xu Ruoyan instantly understood his unspoken meaning: there was no need to come again; he didn’t want to see her anymore.

Xu Ruoyan’s expression was sullen, but she still nodded slightly: « Alright, whatever President Jiang wants, I will endure it. This is what I deserve, and Miss Wen as well. In the end, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness. »

After saying that, she turned and left.

As soon as she turned, her face immediately became icy cold, filled with murderous intent, as if she were going to battle.

Wen Yu wished she could catch up and take a look!

Fu Chun has fans protecting him within the circle, causing all sorts of trouble, but nothing serious has happened. Now that he’s up against Xu Ruoyan, I wonder what it will be like?

Unfortunately, since the two sides are not familiar with each other, it can only be regrettably let go.

As Jiang Yunyan lowered his eyes, he caught that little expression and felt an itch in his palm.

——

« Ah~ »

A faint sigh sounded.

The man paused in his movement, looking at the little girl in front of him with a face full of sorrow. The corner of his lips slightly curled up as he simply sat back down in the chair, resting his slender hand on his chin: « What’s wrong? »

Wen Yu looked full of grievance: « Big brother, this Mr. Xu likes you, you can tell, right? »

Jiang Yunyan’s expression remained unchanged: « No, you’re mistaken. »

Wen Yu: « ?? »

This time it was her turn to choke up, but seeing the genuine expression on his face, she was stunned: « You can’t even see that? She has been loyal to you all these years, with hardly any scandals, working hard to establish the company, all so that one day she could stand by your side! How devoted she is. »

Jiang Yunyan remained calm: « Is that so? I didn’t notice, and she never said anything. It’s normal that I don’t know. »

Wen Yu:!

Fake! Lying! She definitely knows! Otherwise, why wouldn’t she come to apologize in person? It’s because she’s guilty!

Her eyes gradually turned hostile, and she was fuming.

Only then did Jiang Yunyan speak softly, « But what Xiaoyu said must be true. »

With the cooperation, Wen Yu immediately clasped her hands to her chest like Xi Zi, her voice filled with grievance: « Hmph! It’s all because of your lousy love affairs that I’ve suffered so many injustices. Back then, when I was caught and questioned by that Fu Chun, my heart shattered into pieces. I didn’t even dare to call you. I was alone at night, my pillow soaked with tears… »

As she spoke, she quietly glanced up at him.

The man nodded seriously: « Xiao Yu, you were wronged. Big brother was at fault. Let me think about how to make it up to you… »

Wen Yu: « No need, no need, I’m just talking… »

She quickly refused!

She had already received so much, there really wasn’t anything she wanted at the moment.

Doing this whole thing was just to make sure that if one day she couldn’t hold back and offended him, he wouldn’t hit her!

If it weren’t for Xu Ruoyan today, she might really have kissed him.

Wen Yu never expected that she would be so obsessed with a man’s body!

From his mouth to his abs, if it weren’t for other parts being too well covered, she might have been obsessed with even more.

What a sin, what a sin.

She was never a paragon of virtue, so the possibility of her not being able to resist was very high.

Jiang Yunyan didn’t listen and instead shook his head: « I want it. »

Saying that, he opened the computer and said to Wen Yu, « Let Xiaoyu play for a while, it will be ready soon. »

Wen Yu: « …… »

Although she still wanted to refuse, she couldn’t bear to. After hesitating for two seconds, she sat back on the sofa and took out her phone to play.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated repeatedly.

Then, one by one, brief introductions of movies and TV dramas appeared on her phone. Wen Yu looked over in surprise and saw Jiang Yunyan’s eyes still fixed on the screen, his thin lips moving slightly: « These are from Xiangtian Entertainment, Yaxing Entertainment, Hengshan Film… They are their apology gifts. Take a look and see if there are any roles you want. »

« Ah? » Wen Yu was even more confused.

Jiang Yunyan patiently explained, « The day before you went on the show, several negative trending topics appeared. They were pushed behind the scenes by them, and the live stream comments were also partly from them. » After a pause, he added, « Oh, and there’s also a compensation for emotional distress. Combined from several companies, it’s about twelve million. It will probably be credited by tomorrow. »

Wen Yu fell into silence.

Getting rich overnight… is it really that easy?!

Besides, how is she supposed to keep acting like this?!

——

Jiang Yunyan was busy, and Wen Yu was also selecting scripts.

At this moment, Xu Ruoyan had already walked out, exuding a murderous aura.

Zhou Han quickly looked away, forgetting to greet her. Was he driven crazy by the boss’s provocation?

Not really.

Xu Ruoyan was not crazy; she was actually very clear-headed. After getting in the car, she even called Fu Chun: « Chun Chun, I’m still a bit undecided. I want to see you. »

Through the phone, Fu Chun’s voice was very gentle: « Sure, I’m just in Jing City. Come over. »

Xu Ruoyan knew her home address. After hanging up, she went straight there.

When she arrived, she went to knock on the door.

The door quickly opened, and Fu Chun, with her exquisite makeup, stood inside. Her slightly tight sweater outlined her superior figure.

With a different mindset, her perspective on things also changed. Xu Ruoyan used to think Fu Chun was just a girl who loved to dress up, always looking pretty at home. But now, looking at her, she suddenly felt that every time Fu Chun met her, dressed so beautifully, she might secretly be competing with her in beauty.

Xu Ruoyan felt even more stifled inside. When she went in, Fu Chun still greeted her warmly, her face full of concern for her, asking why she still couldn’t make up her mind.

General Manager Jiang is so outstanding; if you get the chance, you must seize it, » Fu Chun said matter-of-factly. « Wen Yu is just a little girl; how could she compare to you? Especially since her character is questionable, and her private life is so chaotic. General Manager Jiang would really be losing out with her…

Xu Ruoyan had to admit that Fu Chun was very good at handling her. Even though he knew what she had done, hearing these words now made her heart ache, and she couldn’t help but feel an urge to risk everything to snatch Jiang Yunyan away.

After all, he was the man she had liked for more than ten years.

For the sake of that youthful infatuation, she hadn’t accepted any other men all these years.

She just retained a bit of rationality in the end.

It seemed that Fu Chun noticed Xu Ruoyan’s difference. As he was talking, he suddenly fell silent and awkwardly said, « Why aren’t you saying anything? »

Xu Ruoyan gave a half-smile: « You’ve said everything, what else is there for me to say? »

Fu Chun’s heart skipped a beat: « Are you in a bad mood? »

Yes! I am in a bad mood. I never expected that the sister I have always treated kindly would be a villain who harms me! » Xu Ruoyan completely lost control, her eyes red as she questioned, « What exactly do you want to do? Constantly urging me to become the homewrecker—have you ever considered how I feel?!

« I… » Fu Chun hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoyan knew all too well that she was feeling guilty and became even more upset: « I trusted you so much, and yet what did you say in front of Wen Yu?! You even told her it was me who instructed you to say those things? »

Fu Chun’s face turned pale, finally realizing why Xu Ruoyan had come at this moment, and asked, « You met Wen Yu? Was it she who told you? »

Xu Ruoyan wiped her tears and sneered coldly, « I didn’t just meet Wen Yu, I also met Jiang Yunyan and showed him the photos. I did everything you said. Now I’ve offended both of them. The company’s development in the country is probably going to be terminated. Are you happy now? »

Fu Chun’s lips moved slightly, speechless.

Since it has all been exposed, any further explanation is just an excuse.

She indeed had two mindsets: if it worked out, the sisters would rise together and her backing would be stronger; if not, Xu Ruoyan would also have a hard time ahead. Either way, she wouldn’t lose out.

The only unexpected thing was Wen Yu, who apparently held such weight in that person’s heart. They had even seen the photos but seemed to have no reaction at all.

That day, I don’t know if I offended Wen Yu…

Fu Chun was full of worries about himself, and he wouldn’t pay any attention to Xu Ruoyan.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoyan felt a chill in her heart, especially her silent attitude made people feel a cold shiver down their spine; she didn’t even want to defend herself.

Knowing you is my bad luck. » Xu Ruoyan was too lazy to question anything further and said, « Originally, I had already arranged for the audition director you wanted when I came back this time, but now forget it. Some things I’d rather feed to the dogs than give to you.

She strode away, and the door slammed shut with a loud bang.

The shock drained the color from Fu Chun’s face. She gritted her teeth tightly, staring at the firmly closed door. What was Xu Ruoyan so proud of? Wasn’t she just a little luckier than herself?

Becoming famous at a young age and luckily meeting a benefactor allowed her to build her current empire, transforming herself from a mere commodity into a business owner.

She only wanted to develop better—what was wrong with that?!

Moreover, if Xu Ruoyan didn’t like Jiang Yunyan, how could she have been persuaded by herself?

If she herself didn’t hold onto a fluke mentality, how could she have impulsively gone over and ended up offending someone?

It’s just that Fu Chun never expected that Wen Yu and Xu Ruoyan would run into each other and even expose this matter!

Even Jiang Yunyan was involved in it.

Fu Chun suddenly realized something, and her heart skipped several beats, still shaken.

At that moment, the phone rang.

She answered, and her manager broke down, saying, « Did you do something behind the scenes again?! There’s been an incident, and ‘Let’s Travel Together’ has refused to let you continue filming! »

Fu Chun felt a heavy weight drop in her heart, making her already pale face even paler, but she still maintained a trace of calm: « What about the penalty fee… »

You still want a breach of contract penalty? » the agent retorted, « Have you forgotten what happened before? If you want the penalty, the production team can send it out directly, and then you’ll have to pay the penalty yourself!

The fact that you weren’t completely ruined is all thanks to the company’s negotiations!

Moreover, for the upcoming dramas and movies invested in by Jiangshang Entertainment, you’ve basically been excluded. Fu Chun, you need to seriously consider your future development. With Jiangshang Entertainment around, the film industry will be tough for you. Don’t you have friends who are quite influential in the fashion industry? Why not try your luck there? You can still make money—

She’s not my friend! » Fu Chun suddenly snapped sharply, « I’m not going into the fashion industry!

Xu Ruoyan’s attitude when she left made it impossible for her to still have a future in the fashion industry. She might even have been humiliated if she went back, so she definitely wouldn’t go!

The manager also snapped: « Damn it, wasn’t that what you said yourself? Why are you yelling at me now? I haven’t even insulted you or offended Jiangshang Entertainment yet… »

The rest of Fu Chun could no longer hear anything. She was completely drained, weakly kneeling on the street stall, and her phone fell to the ground with a bang.

It was Jiang Yunyan!

It must have been him who made the move!

Wen Yu actually managed to get Jiang Yunyan to make a move on her, and that too after those photos appeared!

Are you crazy?

——

Jiang Yunyan is not crazy.

Wen Yu knew, after all, which crazy person could come up with so much money!

She was also shocked; the money was coming in so fast that it felt somewhat unreal, even a bit illusory.

After all, for these well-established companies to voluntarily apologize, it’s not just about paying money, but also about compensating with various film and television resources. That’s something Jiangshang Entertainment can’t easily achieve.

A lot of effort must have been put in.

In fact, compared to that, the money is trivial. Combined, the companies only paid one or two million each, but the film and television resources are the real focus.

Wen Yu saw that Jiang Yunyan was busy all the time, busy with the computer and then on the phone. So she held back her words until they left the company and were sitting in the car on the way back. She shifted a little, moved to the left side, poked the person next to her on the arm, and whispered, “How about we give the money to the company after all? It was the company’s legal department that helped.”

It wouldn’t make sense for them to put in the money and effort while she alone reaps the benefits.

The man, who was resting with his eyes closed, didn’t open them. His hand, casually placed on his lower abdomen, reached out steadily to grab and squeeze that small hand, speaking softly, « No need, they have been well compensated. »

Hmm? » Wen Yu was surprised and momentarily forgot that her hand was being held. She quickly understood, « Big brother, are you secretly paying again?

Upon hearing this, the man slightly opened his eyes and saw that the little girl had already come closer at some point. Her casually tied hair was a bit unruly, with many stray strands falling down. A lock of hair hung beside her fair cheek, adding a touch of tranquility. At this moment, she showed an expression of conflicted sympathy, as if saying, « You’re the one losing out. »

He twitched slightly in his heart, squeezing her palm: « What else? »

Wen Yu frowned and sighed: « You’re at a great loss! »

The man said ambiguously, « You’ve already taken this loss, what do you plan to do? »

Wen Yu’s heart skipped a beat involuntarily. Startled, she looked up and realized that Jiang Yunyan had opened his eyes at some unknown moment, gazing at her with deep eyes that faintly revealed a tenderness she was not quite sure about.

She was momentarily dazed, and the six words « How about offering myself » almost slipped out.

Suddenly, there was a sharp brake ahead, followed by the car seeming to be hit again with a « bang. »

The two impacts caused Wen Yu’s body to lurch forward violently, then her waist tightened. She wasn’t thrown out, and she hurriedly clung to the man. Unexpectedly, there was another hit from behind. She was sitting sideways facing Jiang Yunyan, and with all the jolting, her head lost control and jerked forward, her mouth hitting his shoulder.

Ugh!

Wen Yu immediately felt pain, her eyes watering with tears, but within a second, her tongue already tasted the metallic flavor of blood: « It hurts, it hurts so much! »

Wen Yu: People really shouldn’t be too greedy for meat.

See, my mouth got a sore.
