Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 131: Making Trouble

Wan Chu’er pouted and said, "I had lunch with Mai Qiqi outside."

Jiang Kechu paused for a moment, let go of Wan Chu’er and said, "It’s hot nowadays, and the food spoils easily, don’t eat these." After speaking, he picked up the plate and dumped the food inside into the trash bin.

Tsk, what a sin! Wasting food is shameful.

Wan Chu’er criticized in her heart, then thought about it, it seemed like she was the one wasting food by not eating it.

Watching Jiang Kechu swiftly rolling up his sleeves and busying himself in the kitchen again, Wan Chu’er didn’t leave. She leaned against the kitchen door and said, "Uncle Jiang, I have a proposal."

"What is it?"

Jiang Kechu was chopping vegetables, his knife skills sharp and quick as he finely and swiftly sliced the potatoes.

"If you’re worried, I can hire a nanny to cook specifically for me, so you won’t need to come over."

Without looking up, Jiang Kechu said, "No."

"Bandit! Dictator!" Wan Chu’er cursed, but after watching for a while longer, found it boring and turned away from the doorway.

She had indeed sat for too long this afternoon, and during the breaks of Jiang Kechu’s cooking, she put on boxing gloves and punched a sandbag for a while.

After dinner, Jiang Kechu didn’t stay longer; he washed the dishes and then left.

Before leaving he said, "I’m quite busy this week, I’ll come over next Saturday, and remember to eat your meals at school."

Wan Chu’er carelessly responded, thinking to herself that she needed to compensate for the lost meals to prevent Jiang Kechu from having another reason to come here looking for a presence.

On Monday when she arrived at school, Mai Qiqi was sitting next to her.

"Chuchu, I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t expect Ma Tianjiao to bring Li Gang over. I initially didn’t plan to invite her, but Lin Yufei slipped up, and then she shamelessly insisted on coming. I was so annoyed by her pestering that I agreed. We definitely can’t associate with her again in the future."

Wan Chu’er smiled and said, "It’s fine, she just wanted to discomfort me. If I really had something with Li Gang, she would have achieved her goal. But as there’s nothing between Li Gang and myself, her efforts were in vain. Don’t blame yourself."

"Okay," Mai Qiqi felt relieved.

A little while later, she leaned closer to Wan Chu’er and whispered:

"I think I should tell you something. After we finished our meal yesterday and were about to go upstairs, suddenly, Ma Tianjiao and Li Gang were nowhere to be seen. Zihao asked the hotel staff and found that they had directly checked into a room."

Wan Chu’er responded without any expression, not taking it seriously as it had nothing to do with her.

Speaking of which, since Li Gang was rejected by Wan Chu’er at the hotel that day, though he had made harsh remarks, he didn’t know what to do afterward.

Ma Tianjiao clung to him annoyingly, being coquettishly annoying one moment and then another, which made him even more irritable.

Since he came from a wealthy family and was also quite good-looking, he was never short of girls, and he didn’t take someone like Ma Tianjiao who threw herself at him seriously.

Taking Ma Tianjiao to a hotel room was a spur-of-the-moment decision; firstly because Ma Tianjiao was pretty, and secondly, he knew Ma Tianjiao and Wan Chu’er didn’t get along, and he sought out Ma Tianjiao partly to spite Wan Chu’er.

Unfortunately, Wan Chu’er seemed indifferent. Several times he walked past Wan Chu’er with Ma Tianjiao in his arms, and Wan Chu’er didn’t even glance at them.

He felt frustrated thinking about it.

Ma Tianjiao, though annoyed, dared not lose her temper at Li Gang after he choked her lightly multiple times.

She was extremely frustrated, knowing what was bothering Li Gang—thinking of Wan Chu’er just fueled her anger.

After taking two deep breaths, Ma Tianjiao said to Li Gang, "Wan Chu’er isn’t even staying in the dormitory anymore, god knows what sneaky things she’s out doing every day. Despite always looking so pure and innocent, for all we know, she might be kept by someone."

Li Gang glared at her. Even though he hasn’t won Wan Chu’er over, he can’t tolerate anyone tarnishing her.

"Shut your foul mouth!"

Ma Tianjiao turned pale from anger and shouted, "Wan Chu’er doesn’t have parents or any relatives, and she’s also from such a poor place in S province. How could she have a place to stay outside without someone keeping her? If not being kept, where does she get the money to live outside?"

After yelling, Ma Tianjiao ran off; although she liked Li Gang, she wasn’t someone who could endure injustices.

Li Gang didn’t bother with the angered Ma Tianjiao but was instead caught by what she just said.

After thinking it over, he came up with an idea.

This Saturday noon, just after Jiang Ke Chu left, the door was knocked on again.

Wan Chu’er thought Jiang Ke Chu had forgotten something, reluctantly went to open the door.

"I say Uncle Jiang, can’t you open the door yourself!"

However, upon opening the door, she saw not Jiang Ke Chu but a disdainful looking Li Gang.

Wan Chu’er’s face turned cold, remained silent and directly tried to close the door.

Li Gang quickly held the door preventing Wan Chu’er from closing it.

"Why? Disappointed that it’s not your former lover?" Li Gang taunted.

This week, he had followed Wan Chu’er twice and found out she lived here; although he discovered nothing suspicious on his initial attempts, he began to doubt Wan Chu’er.

Could an orphan like her afford such a house?

Even if not bought, even renting isn’t a small sum. Where does Wan Chu’er get the money? Why doesn’t she stay in the dormitory, instead choosing to live outside, especially in such a nice neighborhood?

Today at noon, he drove over and sat waiting for a while, only to see Jiang Ke Chu carrying two bags upstairs. Instinct told him something was off with Jiang Ke Chu, so he immediately got out of his car and stealthily followed up, and from the floor below he heard Jiang Ke Chu and Wan Chu’er talking.

Upon hearing Wan Chu’er’s voice, he returned to his car, his face turning shades of green and red.

So Ma Tianjiao was right after all, Wan Chu’er was being kept by someone, and that man she’s with was obviously much older.

Foolish to think he had chased her like a goddess for so long, putting endless thoughts into it, only for Wan Chu’er to live a double life, secretly kept by another man.

In the car, the more Li Gang thought, the angrier he became. As soon as Jiang Ke Chu left, he immediately went up and knocked on the door. freeweɓnovel.cøm

When Wan Chu’er heard his words, she let go of the door and scoffed coldly, "None of your business."

Seeing Wan Chu’er offer no defense, Li Gang took it as her admission, out of breath with anger, he said, "How much does he pay you a month? I’ll double it, you be with me."

Hearing this, Wan Chu’er immediately raised her hand, "Slap—," her palm struck Li Gang’s face.

"Take your nonsense elsewhere."

Li Gang widened his eyes, never having been hit by a woman all his life; he reached out to grab Wan Chu’er’s hair.

"You dare hit me, you bitch!"

Wan Chu’er didn’t want to cause a scene in the corridor for the neighbors to gossip, swiftly grabbing Li Gang’s hand, she used force to pull him into her apartment.
