Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 145: The Ma Family’s Fate (Three More)

Actually, the reason Ma Tianjiao has been able to be so arrogant is only because her family is wealthy. Wan Chu’er doesn’t care at all about how the school deals with Ma Tianjiao.

She has already taught Ma Tianjiao a lesson, which made her feel relieved, and Ma Tianjiao has also moved out of their dormitory.

No matter how the school deals with Ma Tianjiao, her family definitely won’t get off so easily. If Jiang Kechu can make such a mess of the Li Family, not to mention the small Ma Family in province Z.

Thus, Ma Tianjiao is just a mantis after autumn, unable to jump around for much longer. Why should she bother herself with a struggling mantis?

The Ma Family is indeed in chaos now. Mrs. Ma was suddenly taken away by the police from their home for an attempted murder charge, and is locked up in the police station, completely unreachable.

Mr. Ma hurriedly tried to find connections for help, spending a lot of money and favors, but he still hasn’t been able to see his wife. While there has been no progress on this front, the business has encountered major problems.

The Ma Family’s suppliers suddenly demanded payment en masse, while their business partners terminated the cooperation without any reason.

The Ma Family’s small factory could no longer operate; the factory and home were crowded daily with creditors.

Mr. Ma was instantly overwhelmed, unable to take care of the daughter in Beijing or his wife in prison.

Before long, Mr. Ma sold all their possessions, including the small factory, villa, and all vehicles, just to barely settle the debts.

Mr. Ma moved their belongings to their old small house, didn’t even bother to tidy up, and went out to find out what exactly happened. Overnight, their family had fallen into such a plight; he would never believe it wasn’t targeted harassment unless someone intended it.

After several days of running around and putting on countless smiles, he finally got some information: all of this was caused by his wife hiring someone to commit murder.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma was devastated. Hiring someone to commit murder! How could such a thing be related to his graceful and composed wife?

He spent even more money and leveraged his former reputation to finally see his wife in prison.

When his wife saw him, she burst into tears, begging him to get someone to bail her out, insisting this place was unbearable.

Mr. Ma comforted his wife for a bit, then hastened to ask what he wanted to know, as the visiting time was limited.

"They say you hired someone for attempted murder, what really happened? Did you really hire someone to kill?"

Upon hearing this, his wife’s gaze started to dodge; she had done this behind her husband’s back.

Seeing his wife’s demeanor, Mr. Ma, who had lived with her for over twenty years, understood everything immediately and his face turned pale with anger.

It took him a moment to raise a finger and harshly said, "Do you realize that because of you, the industry I worked hard for decades to build is now gone?"

At this, his wife was shocked and became even more unsettled.

"Mr. Ma, I didn’t expect it to turn out this way either, it’s all because of that wretched woman, she was always bullying Jiaojiao, I just wanted to stand up for Jiaojiao," Mrs. Ma hurriedly explained, mentioning her daughter suddenly shouting:

"Jiaojiao has a new boyfriend, a Beijing person, very wealthy, owning two shipyards. You go find Jiaojiao, ask her boyfriend to help us."

Hearing this, Mr. Ma sneered, "If there’s no turnaround in this situation, I... I... we... divorce!"

Finally, Mr. Ma uttered the word "divorce", truly furious seeing his family’s decades of hard work vanish overnight, his wife capable of such evil deeds.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ma immediately panicked, "There must be a turnaround, Jiaojiao’s boyfriend’s family is very powerful, they are from Beijing, surely they can find a way. Call Jiaojiao quickly."

Just then the police came to escort the visitors out, ending the visitation.

Exiting the prison, Mr. Ma immediately called his daughter, who took a while to answer the phone.

Once through, the daughter immediately started sobbing about her grievances.

"Dad, I’m being bullied at school."

This time, Mr. Ma didn’t comfort her as usual, still feeling agitated, he calmly asked, "What does your boyfriend do? Tell me in detail, now that your mom is in prison, we still need your boyfriend’s family to help smooth things out."

While crying bitterly, Ma Tianjiao suddenly stopped crying and sobbed, "I can’t find him anymore, his family is also in trouble, their club has been sealed off, and the newspapers are full of their family’s issues."

Mr. Ma’s only hope was extinguished, and without listening to his daughter any more, he hung up the phone.

From then on, Ma Tianjiao lost the support from her family and soon began to live in hardship. She reverted to her old ways and started stealing from her dorm mates. After being caught a few times, coupled with the previous issue of her mother hiring thugs to persecute a classmate, the school leaders discussed and decided to persuade Ma Tianjiao to leave the school.

...

It was because of Jiang Kechu’s matter that Mai Qiqi and Wan Chu’er hadn’t seen each other for a few days.

On this Friday afternoon, Mai Qiqi returned to the dormitory to fetch some items, and saw Wan Chu’er lying on the bed reading a book, showing no intent of going home, which surprised her a bit.

Usually, Wan Chu’er would go home by Friday noon, she thought there must be something wrong.

"Hmm—hmm—"

Mai Qiqi deliberately made noise, trying to get Wan Chu’er’s attention so that Wan Chu’er would initiate the conversation. She was still mad at Wan Chu’er, naturally, she couldn’t be the first to speak.

However, Wan Chu’er was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice at all.

Mai Qiqi gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, climbed up the bunk bed ladder, and snatched the book from Wan Chu’er’s hands.

With the book suddenly gone, Wan Chu’er’s expression hardened, then seeing Mai Qiqi, the coldness on her face disappeared.

She raised her eyebrows humorously, "Queen Mai, have you cooled down now?"

Mai Qiqi snorted and asked, "Why haven’t you gone home yet?"

Uh...

Wan Chu’er felt a bit awkward, should she say that she was afraid to face Jiang Kechu, and that’s why she didn’t want to go home? Mai Qiqi might think she was boasting.

After thinking, she said, "I don’t want to go home."

Mai Qiqi glared, confidently asking, "Are you avoiding Brother Jiang?"

How could this kid be so clever?

Wan Chu’er blinked and did not respond.

Seeing this, Mai Qiqi felt annoyed; back then, it was she who chased after Jiang Kechu, but now, it was Jiang Kechu chasing after Wan Chu’er.

Truly, comparisons between people can be infuriating!

"I want to go shopping with An Zihao to buy something, come with me and give me some advice," Mai Qiqi, feeling totally justified, made her demand.

Wan Chu’er asked, "Can I not go?" She was supposed to be on a date with An Zihao, why would she tag along as a third wheel? An Zihao would definitely not be pleased to see her.

"No way," Mai Qiqi insisted.

Wan Chu’er had no choice but to quickly get ready and carry her bag to go shopping with Mai Qiqi.

An Zihao was clearly in a good mood, and instead of being annoyed, he was actually happy to see Wan Chu’er.

Once they arrived, Wan Chu’er realized, they were there to buy couples’ rings; no wonder An Zihao had such a smug look, he was showing off to her.
