Chapter 156: Chapter 156: So You Have to Push Him into This Pit of Fire, Right? Chapter 156: Chapter 156: So You Have to Push Him into This Pit of Fire, Right? Mr. Jiang, feeling generous in the group chat, said he wanted to give out red envelopes, and Jiang Yisen quickly sent one with a thousand yuan and only three spots to try their luck.
Jiang Nanshu was quick to react and became the first to claim one.
She was in luck and grabbed five hundred.
Ever since joining this chat group, everyone rarely spoke, and Jiang Nanshu had only spoken once at the beginning.
She sent an emoticon that said “Thanks, boss.”
The three envelopes were evenly split between her, Jiang Leyi, and Jiang Yun Chuan.
The others must have not seen it; Jiang Hemian was always busy at the research institute and never had time to check his phone.
The rest remained silent divers.
The next second, Mrs. Jiang transferred fifty thousand to Jiang Nanshu.
She bubbled up, “This is your spending money for the month.”
With only a few days left in the month, it was essentially a gift of money to Jiang Nanshu.
Her smile was so big her face mask was about to fall off, and she politely replied, “Thanks, Mom.”
It must be that Mrs. Jiang’s words had made her feel guilty until now, not knowing how to make amends other than to give money.
Jiang Nanshu, on the other hand, didn’t care; she never found money too much to accept.
She didn’t participate in the rest of the red envelopes.
Xu Xi and the others came back with a downcast look and stared at Jiang Nanshu for a moment before saying, “Jiangjiang, I just came across some juicy gossip; guess who it’s about?”
“Hmm?”
Xu Xi, with a secret excitement, said mysteriously, “It’s about Su Ran!”
“I have a senior who graduated a few years before me working on set. She told me that Madam Cheng barged in this afternoon, slapped Su Ran twice without saying a word, kept cursing her for seducing her son, and saying her son is still in the hospital because of her, yet she has the nerve to audition here. It was a huge scene; she ruined Su Ran’s hard-won audition opportunity, and in the end, Su Ran left with a red and swollen face in disgrace.”
Jiang Nanshu was equally shocked.
Fuck, is the heroine’s path this miserable?
Not only does she get slapped and cursed, but being a popular heroine isn’t that easy after all.
It’s just…
This part wasn’t in the original book.
In the book, Madam Cheng was very pleased with Su Ran, the star who was red-hot; it was merely a pity for her that Su Ran was indifferent to Cheng An.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t expect the casual remark she made would completely derail the whole plotline.
Feeling somewhat guilty, she touched her nose.
Xu Xi took out her phone: “Damn, it made it to the hot search rankings.”
Jiang Nanshu opened it to have a look, and there was a big headline.
#Su-surnamed star beaten up for cheating on two fronts.
The picture was of a half-swollen face of Su Ran.
The comments section was in an uproar.
And many people didn’t even know who Su Ran was.
After all, she had not yet become famous through her works; there was still about a week until the web series was set to air.
“Sisters, who is Su Ran? Some obscure person making it to the hot search? ”
“Don’t spread rumors! Our Ranran Goddess is untouchable, we’ve witnessed her kind character with our own eyes, she wouldn’t do such a thing! Some marketing accounts better not start false rumors, or you’ll be careful of getting a legal notice!”
“Didn’t she make it to the hot search with the Lu Family Crown Prince last time, something about his white moonlight first love? Hahaha, who’s hiring these marketing accounts, they’re quite the storytellers.”
“Is this female celebrity that bold? Daring to hook up with the Lu Family Crown Prince and then going after the young master of the Cheng family; not even TV dramas would dare to do this.”
“She looks innocent, but she’s actually quite wild, huh. Not to mention she came from a girl group. Still trying to set up a ‘pure jade’ image, who knows how many people she’s been with behind the scenes. Tsk tsk, I will never watch her dramas again, I’m turning from fan to anti!”
Jiang Nanshu found these comments pretty funny.
The fans who originally blessed her for getting back together with her first love are now the same ones scolding her for being promiscuous.
And she had lost audition opportunities twice in one day.
In the original story, Director Wen was quite pleased with Jiang Leyi’s acting, which is why he initially decided on her. But at the Mid-Autumn Festival show, her intangible cultural heritage skills amazed the director, which suited the drama well. Plus, at that time, her relationship with the male lead was slowly improving, and taking into account the Lu Family, Director Wen changed the cast. With some sycophants stirring up trouble, Jiang Leyi didn’t even end up as an extra.
Later, she acted in a shoddy online drama but got dragged into a scandal when the producer got busted for drugs, resulting in her being cyberbullied. She struggled for several years, not even managing to rise as fast as Su Ran did in half a year.
Since Jiang Leyi could talk about it in the family group chat, it must mean Director Wen took a liking to her.
Just waiting for the official announcement of the cast in a few days.
Jiang Nanshu was somewhat perplexed; can hard work really defeat Su Ran’s so-called protagonist’s halo?
Others wouldn’t even get a second audition if they were late, not being kicked out was already courteous enough.
And Su Ran, somehow, got an extra chance than everyone else, just that this time, she seemed to miss it too.
Jiang Nanshu thought about asking Da Shachun, only to discover it had vanished to hunt for bugs, so she could only wait.
She never cared about the affairs of the main female lead; after all, the halo was there.
Jiang Leyi had sent her many private messages, all of which she hadn’t replied to.
She could tell she was very happy, not even minding sharing her joy with her most disliked sister.
Jiang Nanshu casually sent one: “Stop nagging, it’s annoying, I don’t want to know, don’t come to me to show off.”
The corner of her mouth curled up in a slight smirk, maybe the efforts of a cannon fodder character really can change destiny.
The next day, Jiang Nanshu learned from Jiang Yunchuan that Lu Qingyan had gone abroad for a competition.
This news came to her after she finished her morning classes, and she casually shared it with them in the cafeteria.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yunchuan frowned deeply, looking vexed. Lin Yueyue, despite advice to stay away, gazed at him with deep affection instead, and Jiang Yunchuan’s face showed discomfort like he’d swallowed a fly.
He grabbed Jiang Nanshu, pleading for help, “Help me, is there any way to shake off this maggot?”
Jiang Nanshu glanced at Lin Yueyue’s exposed skin, which had some red rash-like spots, nonchalantly assuming it was acne.
Her eyelid twitched.
“Holy shit, how did she catch AIDS! It’s not time yet; at least two more months, why did it happen early.”
Jiang Yunchuan turned pale, what? She’s already sick?
A person with AIDS doesn’t need isolation, but they do need to maintain personal hygiene and avoid blood transmission with others, which could infect someone else.
Usually, with this disease, it’s feared that no one in the school would want to be around her.
Jiang Nanshu steadied her nerves, her expression innocent, showing concern for Lin Yueyue, “Fifth Brother, you should make up with Sister Yueyue. Look how she’s lost her appetite over you, she’s gotten so skinny. When people are in love, how can a little conflict make that love disappear? Fifth Brother, I’ve already accepted this sister-in-law in my heart.”
“A new sister-in-law enters the door, the whole family gets infected, heh, seems kind of fun.”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
He met Jiang Nanshu’s concerned and sympathetic gaze towards Lin Yueyue.
Eventually, he couldn’t hold back any longer, his face expressionless as he looked at her, “How many honest words do you actually speak?”
Jiang Nanshu’s expression appeared hurt, covering her face, “Then why bother asking me? In your eyes, I’m just a bad girl full of lies anyway.”
Jiang Yunchuan panicked, quickly saying, “Nannan, that’s not what I meant!”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him accusingly, “Then what do you mean? If you think what I said makes sense, then make up with Sister Yueyue right away!”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
Was she really pushing him into that fire pit?
