Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 113: Instigation

Mai Qiqi covered her chest and couldn’t help but laugh and scold Wan Chu’er, "Pervert!"

Wan Chu’er lifted her chin with a finger, imitating that rogue from the other night, and said, "Babe, come and have some fun with me."

Mai Qiqi couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Distracted by Wan Chu’er, Mai Qiqi’s earlier melancholy was instantly washed away.

During dinner, Mai Qiqi couldn’t help but tell Wan Chu’er about what happened that night; she felt like she needed someone to talk to and after thinking it over, Wan Chu’er seemed to be the most appropriate person.

Wan Chu’er was not someone who would spill the beans everywhere.

Hearing Mai Qiqi’s story, Wan Chu’er thought to herself that Jiang Kechu really was resolute, as Mai Qiqi had looked absolutely ethereal and beautiful that night.

She seriously asked Mai Qiqi, "Are you sure it’s really love for your Brother Jiang, and not just his appearance that’s deceived you?"

Mai Qiqi thought for a moment and nodded.

Wan Chu’er continued, "Can you guarantee you won’t turn into another Wei Feng? Can you endure Jiang Kechu putting his work first, tolerate him not coming home for ten days to half a month, and manage being alone?" freёnovelkiss.com

Mai Qiqi hesitated a bit, but after thinking, she bit her lip and nodded.

Wan Chu’er sighed to herself, "Ah, a little girl blinded by so-called love."

Mai Qiqi urged Wan Chu’er, "Come on, do you have any good ideas?"

Wan Chu’er said:

"If the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.

Pester him for a while, then confess again. If he still rejects, continue pestering for another period, then confess a third time."

"What if Brother Jiang still rejects me?"

Wan Chu’er: "Then just accept your fate, your Brother Jiang really doesn’t like you. Forcing the issue will only bring you pain."

Mai Qiqi drooped her shoulders, saying, "I thought you’d tell me to keep going no matter what."

"Three strikes and you’re out. It’s not like nobody else wants you," Wan Chu’er said indifferently.

Mai Qiqi, deeply moved, hugged Wan Chu’er’s arm, "Chuchu, you’re really great!"

However, Wan Chu’er pulled her arm out of her hands and lowered her voice as she glanced to the left front:

"Look, my swarm of admirers is here, handing them over to you!" Then she walked away without looking back.

Mai Qiqi looked up blankly, and saw Li Gang’s smiling face freezing, as he looked in the direction where Wan Chu’er was leaving, looking rather pitiful.

Could she sympathize with Li Gang?

No, she couldn’t betray Chuchu.

Back at the dormitory, Lin Yufei made a fuss seeing the injury on Wan Chu’er’s face.

Ma Tianjiao saw Wan Chu’er’s disheveled look and felt secretly pleased; she turned away from Wan Chu’er, and while looking at the mirror, she carefully spied on Wan Chu’er, mouthing words like "Serves you right!"

Later that evening, returning from the library, Lin Yufei excitedly told her, "Wan Chu’er, you and Mai Qiqi’s performance got the most votes, meaning you guys won the first place, ah ah ah — you actually won five thousand yuan."

Wan Chu’er’s eyes widened, "Where did you get that news?"

"At the dormitory entrance, they posted the voting results. Didn’t you see?"

She remembered now; when she came back earlier, there were a few people standing in front of the information board, but she had thought it was some other second-hand trade info.

Lin Yufei shouted, "You and Mai Qiqi must treat us to a meal, and it has to be in a fancy restaurant."

Wan Chu’er laughed and said, "If I really do get the five thousand yuan prize, I’ll definitely treat you. You can choose wherever and whatever you want to eat."

The unexpected joy of five thousand yuan put Wan Chu’er in a really good mood.

Ma Tianjiao sourly said, "Just because she got first place, it’s all thanks to Mai Qiqi’s skill on the guzheng that got us so many votes. Some people are taking advantage of this and don’t even admit it, and they act all high and mighty, making decisions on their own. If I were Mai Qiqi..."

Right then, Mai Qiqi who had just come back, directly said, "Without Chuchu, there wouldn’t have been a first place. Chuchu and I agreed early on that if we really won the prize, the five thousand yuan would all go to Chuchu. So, how the five thousand yuan is spent is up to Chuchu to decide."

This instantly made Ma Tianjiao’s face look better. She wanted to be angry but didn’t dare to provoke Mai Qiqi. She wanted to direct her anger towards Wan Chu’er, but was afraid that Wan Chu’er would metaphorically slash her. In a moment, she was internally wounded and nearly vomited blood from anger.

Lin Yufei couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

A week later, the prize money was indeed handed out. That evening, Wan Chu’er treated Lin Yufei and Mai Qiqi to a grand meal, naturally without including Ma Tianjiao.

When Ma Tianjiao found out, she even cried and ran to the counselor’s office to complain about Wan Chu’er, claiming that Wan Chu’er was ostracizing her in the dormitory.

Because of the previous incident where Ma Tianjiao stole Wan Chu’er’s Jade Pendant, and the counselor was a witness, the counselor didn’t think highly of Ma Tianjiao. So after Ma Tianjiao complained, she merely dealt with it perfunctorily and didn’t even bother to have a talk with Wan Chu’er.

That Friday morning, after classes ended, Mai Qiqi caught Wan Chu’er who was about to go home.

"Chuchu, I’m going to visit the Jiang Family tomorrow to see Xiaoxiao. Brother Jiang will be home this weekend, why don’t you come with me?"

Wan Chu’er blankly stared at her and asked, "What would I go there for?"

Mai Qiqi sighed and said, "Ever since Brother Jiang decisively rejected me last time, I’ve been somewhat scared to see him. If you’re with me, I’ll feel more confident."

Wan Chu’er scoffed lightly and said indifferently, "Since ancient times, countless incidents of best friend stealing one’s love have occurred. If I go, maybe there really won’t be anything between you and Ke Chu. Do you really want me to come?"

She didn’t want to go to the Jiang Family at all. Merely mentioning the Jiang Family reminded her of her past life’s mistakes. She was truly embarrassed.

Moreover, she intended to keep her relationship with Ke Chu separate as ’bridge to bridge, road to road’, naturally fearing the very word ’Jiang’.

Mai Qiqi, after hearing what Wan Chu’er said, was momentarily stunned, thinking that Wan Chu’er really dared to say anything, and even so boldly!

She glanced at Wan Chu’er’s pretty nose tip, swallowed her saliva, thinking maybe it was really possible.

"Never mind then."

Wan Chu’er patted her shoulder and said, "Good luck!"

The next day, Wan Chu’er was at home, happily coding, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

She quickly entered a few test cases into her computer, confirmed the program’s accuracy, and then went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, a big surprise appeared in front of her.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Mai Qiqi were hand in hand, with an expressionless Jiang Ke behind them.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Chuchu, we’re planning to go watch a movie. Come with us."

Wan Chu’er looked at Mai Qiqi, and Mai Qiqi winked at her with a pleading expression.

Ha!

What’s this all about!

If you’re going on a date, just go; why drag her along? It’s like trouble falls from the sky when you’re just home doing nothing.

"No thanks!" Wan Chu’er refused outright without a second thought.

Hearing Wan Chu’er refuse, Jiang Ke’s lips slightly curled up, barely noticeable if one didn’t look carefully.
