Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 83 Warm Heart

Wan Chu’er went to say goodbye to Xiao Bai again.

Xiao Bai heard that she was leaving for Beijing earlier and assumed that Wan Chu’er was sad to stay in this place. He didn’t try to persuade her more, but instead threw her a big red envelope.

"You’re leaving, and besides money, there’s nothing else I really can give you. It’s always good to have some extra money when you’re away from home, especially since you’re a girl. Don’t be timid just because of money.

After all, you are a talented student from Wutong County. When you make it big in the future, remember that you still have a Second Brother back here."

Towards the end, Xiao Bai actually felt a bit sad. Chuchu, his little sister, was about to leave, and he wondered who he would hang out with in the future.

"Chuchu, why don’t you take Second Brother with you? It’s really boring here."

Wan Chu’er was originally touched by Xiao Bai’s words, feeling that he had taken on both the role and the speech of her father, but then he came out with this.

"Second Brother, don’t worry. Once I settle down over there, I’ll definitely bring you over," she said, indulging Xiao Bai like pacifying a child.

"Ha!" Xiao Bai gave her a sidelong glance and said, "You’re treating me like a child."

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiao Bai took Wan Chu’er to the bar in Heavenly World. Since it was daytime, there were very few people around, and the bartender was diligently cleaning glasses behind the bar.

"Second Brother is still worried about you. Let’s drink a couple of glasses, and I’ll give you some good advice," Xiao Bai said, gearing up for a long talk.

These days, Xiao Bai had already had a falling out with the old man of the house. When Bai Zhixi died, Old Bai didn’t even show up to send her off, which Xiao Bai resented greatly. Father and son had a big fallout, and after losing the argument, Xiao Bai hid out in Heavenly World and didn’t go home.

The bartender mixed two bright and colorful drinks and placed them in front of them.

"Come on, this is a new concoction by Second Brother. It looks great, and the taste isn’t bad either. Try it."

Seeing the drink, Wan Chu’er felt dazed. She raised the drink to take a closer look.

Through the beautiful drink, she saw some unpleasant scenes.

In her previous life, when she first followed Jiang Kechu to Beijing, Jiang Kechu was busy with the military and often absent, leaving her alone at the Jiang Family’s home.

Back then, she appeared strong on the outside but inside felt fearful and insecure.

Under such circumstances, a woman suddenly appeared who showed her kindness, and once took her to a bar under the guise of showing her the nightlife in Beijing.

A beautiful drink led to chaos, and after that chaos, she became a target of public criticism.

Wan Chu’er smiled faintly. This time, she would not be so naive, reigning in her emotions. She brought the drink to her nose, preparing to smell it.

Just as she moved the glass, a hand stretched out and took her glass away.

Wan Chu’er looked up at Xiao Bai.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xiao Bai shook his head as if disappointed, pointing at Wan Chu’er with one hand, "I give you a drink and you drink it, really a fool!"

"You know, you just turned eighteen, but you’re still a student! Those who drink are not good students!" Xiao Bai scolded her.

"From now on, you’re not allowed to touch alcohol, do you hear me? You think you are just drinking a glass of drink, but what you might be consuming could be poison, or an aphrodisiac that could ruin your reputation! Society is very complicated, do you think everyone out there is as noble as your Second Brother, full of righteous people?"

Listening to Xiao Bai’s lecture, a smile gradually bloomed on Wan Chu’er’s face. She reached out, wrapped her arm around Xiao Bai’s, and nuzzled her head against him, saying, "Got it, Second Brother."

Xiao Bai suddenly froze, tilting his head back, earnestly looking at Wan Chu’er and said, "You really know now?"

"Know, know, in the future, if I have a chance, I will definitely take Second Brother to Beijing." Wan Chu’er felt warmth in her heart, how lucky she was in this life to have met Xiao Bai as her Second Brother.

Eventually, Wan Chu’er took the large red envelope Xiao Bai gave her and left Wutong County alone, embarking on the journey to Beijing.

"Wuu wuu wuu—"

Stepping out of the noisy train station, Wan Chu’er took a deep breath and muttered to herself: Beijing, here I come!

This time, she was no longer anyone’s subordinate nor the despised mangy dog that people couldn’t shake off.

This time, she could step onto the land of Beijing rightfully and dignifiedly. In the future, she would carve out a world of her own through her efforts and struggles.

She carried two large bags, got into a taxi, and casually mentioned a place for the driver to head towards.

Upon arriving, she walked a few hundred meters and found a decent-looking hostel where she rented a single room.

That day, she casually bought some food nearby and rested in the hostel to recuperate.

The next morning, she got up early and headed straight to Beijing’s most famous antique market.

In her past life, she was once taken by Jiang Xiaoxiao to visit this antique market. They happened to encounter a lucrative find there, an event that took place two years later.

At that time, the stall owner who had made the oversight was hitting his thigh in regret, "This pen holder has been on my stall for three years, never catching anyone’s eye, and suddenly it sold for one hundred thousand."

Both intrigued, she and Jiang Xiaoxiao were shocked; Jiang Xiaoxiao even said, "If I had bought that pen holder, I could have afforded a trip abroad."

Now, wouldn’t that pen holder still be unrecognized by discerning eyes?

Using her memory, Wan Chu’er quickly found that pen holder. She pretended to look around at nearby stalls for a while, then nonchalantly walked over to that stall.

She first picked up a bracelet and asked the price.

Seeing that she was young and modestly dressed, the owner assumed she was just a girl keen on pretty things. The bracelet, shiny and beautiful, prompted him to casually announce a price.

Wan Chu’er neither agreed nor disagreed, but picked several other items and inquired about their prices, until the owner was nearly out of patience. Finally, Wan Chu’er pointed to the pen holder.

"Two thousand."

"Boss, make it cheaper."

The owner glanced at her, trying to gauge her sincerity. Wan Chu’er was all smiles, making it unclear if she was just bored or genuinely interested in buying.

The owner bit his lip, "If you’re buying, take it for one thousand yuan, otherwise, my stall is probably not suitable for a young lady like you.

Hmm, that’s even five hundred yuan cheaper than the lucky encounter last time.

Wan Chu’er promptly pulled out one thousand yuan, and without caring about the stunned look on the owner’s face, she picked up the pen holder and headed towards Duobao Pavilion.

Two hours later, Wan Chu’er left the antique market with a black handbag in her hand.

Leaving the antique market, she went straight to a real estate agency. With the fastest speed, she bought a second-hand one-bedroom, one-living room apartment.

As real estate had just begun to commercialize and housing prices were not particularly high, after completing the procedures and simply purchasing some furniture to move in, she still had 40,000 yuan left, a considerable sum at that time.
