Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 47 Second Brother

Xiao Bai grabbed Wan Chu’er’s arm excitedly and asked, "How did you do it? Teach me quickly."

How did she do it? In her past life, she was trained by Jiang Kechu. Wan Chu’er lowered her eyelids.

Soon, she looked up at Xiao Bai and said, "It’s all about talent."

Then, pretending to size him up, she looked Xiao Bai up and down, shook her head, and said:

"Your talent isn’t enough, you can’t be taught."

"Huh?" Xiao Bai looked at Wan Chu’er skeptically. The game has only been out for two years, and Wan Chu’er’s family is so poor, her mom couldn’t possibly have afforded to buy her a game console. So where did Wan Chu’er learn it from? Her skills seemed very polished.

Seeing Xiao Bai’s suspicion, Wan Chu’er curled the corner of her mouth and said, "Stop overthinking it, I just have more talent than you." Then she changed the subject, "I came to find you today for something important. Let’s set the game aside for now. Speaking of, it’s a miracle that Heavenly World hasn’t gone under yet."

Xiao Bai chuckled dismissively, "It’s not far from going under. My dad is already asking around trying to offload this place."

No wonder. When Wan Chu’er used to come here to play in her past life, she didn’t remember seeing Xiao Bai. It seems like the management wasn’t Xiao Bai, it had been passed on to a less scrupulous person who even recruited underage girls to sell liquor.

Wan Chu’er bent down to take out two sheets of paper from her backpack and slapped them in front of Xiao Bai, saying, "Here’s something for you, which I promised to give you. Take a look."

Xiao Bai leaned forward excitedly, pressing down on the two pieces of paper, "Oh, I almost forgot about the important matter. Didn’t I tell you last time? We are cousins! Your grandmother is my grandma. Hey, your grandma, which is my grandma, how is she? I’ve never met my grandma before.

No wonder everyone had a grandma when I was a kid, except me. Turns out my grandma ran off to your house. Quick, tell me about my grandma."

"What about your grandma, my grandma?" Wan Chu’er looked utterly confused, not understanding what Xiao Bai was talking about.

Xiao Bai saw that Wan Chu’er didn’t understand and felt incredibly frustrated, forgetting what his elder brother had told him. He was eager to share the grand news about their grandparents and acknowledge their relation as cousins.

He tried to grab Wan Chu’er’s arm but she dodged it quickly, yet this didn’t dampen his eagerness to share, and with glowing eyes, he said:

"Originally, your grandma and my grandfather, along with my dad and your mom, were all one family. Later on somehow, it was discovered your mom wasn’t biologically related to my grandfather, and then my grandparents got divorced. Divorcing in that era, that really took courage!

Then my grandma took your mom and left the Bai Family, and it seems my grandma never came back until her death. My grandfather also never mentioned your grandma afterwards, but considering he never remarried, he must still have had your grandma on his mind, who is also my grandma, my grandfather’s ex-wife.

Imagine that, the world is so small, and to think we’re actually cousins, no wonder the first time I met you, I felt this closeness. Turns out we’re related by blood."

Xiao Bai saw Wan Chu’er looking as if she was struck by lightning, and instantly felt extremely satisfied, haha, he adapted much faster when he first heard about it.

"Chuchu, from now on, I’ll call you Chuchu, and you can call me Second Cousin, or Second Brother."

Hearing the title ’Second Cousin’, Wan Chu’er shivered.

Well alright, the world is so vast and full of wonders; such a thing happening to her wasn’t completely impossible, she had, after all, gotten a second chance at life.

She confirmed again: "Are you really sure that your grandma is my Grandma?"

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously: "Definitely, in the family photo on the wall of your house, there are even my grandfather and my father."

Wan Chu’er remembered something and asked again: "You just said my mom is not my grandpa’s biological daughter? What’s that about?"

Xiao Bai shrugged and said: "I don’t know about that, my brother doesn’t know either. I tried to probe my old man’s mood, but the old guy is tight-lipped, he wouldn’t tell me."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up immediately, and he urged Wan Chu’er: "Your mom definitely knows about this, go back and ask her. Seeing how anxious she looks about you, she will definitely tell you. If you find out, make sure you tell me."

Wan Chu’er smiled and said calmly: "I won’t ask, so don’t get your hopes up."

"Ah?" Xiao Bai was dumbfounded and asked: "Why not? Don’t you want to know? It sounds like such an interesting thing!"

Wan Chu’er was speechless, wondering why the private matters between her grandparents could be considered interesting.

Remembering what Bai Zhixi had said, to be nicer to Xiao Bai, she forcefully suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and thought for a while. Assuming they were indeed cousins, she couldn’t let her cousin continue being this foolish, so imitating Bai Zhixi’s earnest demeanor, she said:

"Second Brother, although you are ranked second, continuing to act foolish really isn’t good. Even if what you said is true, that’s the matter of your grandfather and my grandma. Both elders have passed away, and since they didn’t make a fuss about it while alive and neither your dad nor my mom mentioned anything, why, or rather, why are you fussing about it?

You’d better manage Heavenly World properly, are you really willing to just sell out the Heavenly World that you started? It’d be much better if you made something great of yourself."

Xiao Bai blinked, not quite understanding why Wan Chu’er had suddenly become so patient and said such a long statement; he couldn’t help but reach out to touch Wan Chu’er’s forehead.

Wan Chu’er dodged backwards, somewhat helplessly said, "Second Brother, I’m not feverish. Since I call you ’Second Brother,’ I’ll take a little bit of responsibility to guide you."

Xiao Bai clicked his tongue several times and said: "You’ve got it the wrong way around. I’m the brother; naturally, it should be the big brother guiding the little sister."

Spouting whatever came to mind was Xiao Bai’s style. He gossipingly asked Wan Chu’er: "Have you ever been in puppy love? Do you have a secret crush? Brother will give you some advice, no, I mean, I really should teach you well..."

Wan Chu’er clenched her fists, feeling a strong urge to hit someone. What to do?

"Second Brother, those two papers I gave you just now were squeezed out precious written during two evening meetings, take a good look at them, and discuss them with your elder brother if you are unsure. I’ll have to leave now; my mom is waiting for me for dinner." She then turned and walked towards the door.

Xiao Bai hurriedly called out: "Don’t rush off, there are still things unclear. Are we recognizing this kinship or not? And about that enemy of yours, I’ve now moved her from being a cleaner to a waitress..."

Remembering Liu Li was still here, Wan Chu’er stopped again, turned around and said: "Second Brother, don’t waste your energy on Liu Li, let her be natural."

Seeing Liu Li’s nature, it’s likely she hasn’t changed. Falling is easy, getting back on track is hard.

"As for my mom’s issue, let’s not get involved."

This time she left briskly, not paying attention to Xiao Bai’s shouts and calls behind her.
