Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 40 - 39 Devil

Chapter 40: Chapter 39 Devil

Chapter 40 -39 Devil

“Sister Lin, Shu Wan is really clueless, isn’t she?

The director is filming her because he respects her, but she’s taking herself way too seriously.

It’s been almost half an hour, and she’s not leaving any time for you.”

“Exactly, an eighteenth-tier small-time star still acts like she’s a VIP.” Another actor chimed in, “Sister Lin, I heard you have to attend a film celebration later, how dare Shu Wan waste your time.”

The one referred to as Sister Lin was the leading actress in the TV drama, Lin Man.

Unlike Shu Wan’s relative obscurity, Lin Man was a bona fide first-tier actress with a strong background; nearly half the funding for the drama came from her connections.

Lin Man was beautiful, but when she looked at people, she always did so with a condescending gaze that was full of hostility.

She fiddled with her freshly done nails, “Youth always like to show their sharp edges.”

“Just so, they don’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is, only how to show off.

Sister Lin, don’t worry, someone will teach her a lesson.”

Lin Man didn’t respond, just gave Shu Wan a brief glance, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.

Shu Wan was always sensitive and naturally perceived the hostility from everyone around her.

While posing for the photo shoot as per the director’s requirements, Shu Wan took the chance to glance over at Lin Man’s group.

Not finding any information about these people in her host’s memory, Shu Wan didn’t pay further attention.

“Good, very good, keep it up.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Shu Wan was attractive and naturally had an aura that fit ancient costumes perfectly, truly the muse directors dream of.

Director Zhang was so excited that he personally picked up the camera to take pictures of her.

Shu Wan had thought at first that being a modern actress would be a breeze, but to her surprise, she felt exhausted even with her robust constitution after an entire set of photos was taken.

As the sun climbed higher, and after Director Zhang had covered every angle photographing Shu Wan, he finally let her go, “Hard work, you all can go back first.

The crew will notify you when we officially start filming.”

“Okay, Director.” Wang Tian responded enthusiastically and then picked up Shu Wan’s bag, leading her away directly.

Wang Tian had arrived halfway through Shu Wan’s photo shoot, to be honest, he hadn’t dared to recognize the person sitting in front of the studio at first.

“Baby, how did you grow such a face.”

Wang Tian studied Shu Wan’s profile as they walked.

He knew she was beautiful before, but never has he felt like now, that she was too stunning to look at directly.

Faced with Wang Tian’s amazement, Shu Wan was quite calm.

She turned her head to say something, but upon seeing Wang Tian’s outfit, she was left speechless.

The colors on Wang Tian’s clothes probably changed faster than Fu Yang’s facial expressions.

Today he wore an all-green suit with a belt as thick as an arm, a large gold chain that jingled loudly with each step.

Yesterday it was pink hair, today it turned green, and he used styling gel to fix his hair into an inverted triangle shape.

He even sprinkled a layer of gold powder on top, which now glittered under the sunlight.

Given that she didn’t know much about this era, Shu Wan eventually swallowed any comments she had.

“I asked around just now, and the crew’s actor equipment funds are basically in place.

In at most a week, filming will definitely start, so you just focus on memorizing your lines at home.

Don’t be like your last movie; the camera was right in front of your face, and you couldn’t recall a single line, okay?”

Thinking of the last film he had gotten for Shu Wan, Wang Tian got annoyed.

Truth be told, with Shu Wan’s looks, even if her acting was subpar, there would still be plenty of scripts coming her way—after all, there were many poor actors, but very few looked like Shu Wan.

But Shu Wan had really been too disappointing in the past, performing well during auditions, only to forget even the simplest line during the actual filming.

Because of this, Shu Wan had offended many directors and crews.

Later on, rumors spread, claiming Shu Wan was a “digital actress,” suggesting she didn’t recite lines during filming but instead used numbers like 1234567, then patched it up with dubbing in post-production.

Once this rumor started, no matter how Shu Wan explained it, her reputation was pretty much ruined.

This time, Shu Wan’s audition went very well, but the previous failures had cast such a shadow over Wang Tian that he subconsciously wanted to remind her to be more mindful.

“Mhm.” Shu Wan responded indifferently.

“Besides acting, what else can I do to make money?”

Time flies quickly, and it won’t be long before the next repayment date.

Right now, Shu Wan was quite strapped for cash.

Wang Tian gave Shu Wan a perplexed look, “No way?

Is your old flame that stingy?

Willing to buy you a Rolls-Royce but not giving you spending money?”

“What old flame?”

“Right, right, right, I understand, let’s use another term—your ‘collaborator.'” Wang Tian pondered for a while and came up with the term ‘collaborator’ to spare Shu Wan’s pride.

One provides the money, and the other provides the service.

Isn’t that a collaborator?

Shu Wan didn’t grasp Wang Tian’s meaning, but since she and Fu Siyu were indeed business partners, she didn’t deny it.

“The car is his, I can’t always spend his money.”

By the time she was on firm footing in this era, she was certainly planning to divorce Fu Siyu.

After cutting ties with the Fu Family, she would definitely need a lump sum of money.

How Shu Wan felt, Wang Tian naturally had no idea.

He could only piece together a version of the truth he imagined from the tidbits of her conversation.

That was, the sugar daddy behind Shu Wan was not only old but also stingy; even after taking care of such a beautiful star like Shu Wan, he was reluctant to spend money on her.

Especially when Wang Tian looked at Shu Wan’s face which could claim the throne of the entertainment circle, he had even more contempt for the stingy sugar daddy, “Babe, you’re thinking right, those stinky men, petty and selfish, we can’t count on them.

Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find you more ways to make money.”

Wang Tian’s words were quite comforting to Shu Wan, though his overly lifted pinky finger left her somewhat helpless, “Alright, then I’m off.”

“Mhm,” Wang Tian nodded, about to look for a shared bike, when he suddenly thought of something, “Hey, wait, where are you going?”

“To the hospital.”

“The hospital?” Wang Tian didn’t ask why Shu Wan was going to the hospital.

“No problem with the hospital, just as long as you don’t go to school, you can go anywhere else.”

Wang Tian was truly scared.

It wasn’t that Shu Wan was going to school; it was like she was going to mass-produce scandals.

Seeing the look of lingering fear on Wang Tian, Shu Wan hesitated for a moment but decided not to tell him that she was heading to class tomorrow, “Then I’m off.”

“Alright, bye, remember to memorize your lines well.”

After leaving Film and Television City, Shu Wan had the driver take her to the hospital.

But halfway there, Shu Wan asked the driver to stop for a moment.

She went down to buy some things and then got back in the car, “Okay, let’s go.”

Returning to the hospital, before Shu Wan reached the door of the ward, the Housekeeper ran over to her like seeing a savior, “Young Madam, you’re back.”

Shu Wan also knew that without her here, Fu Yang would definitely be up to no good, she didn’t ask any questions and just pushed the door open and entered the ward.

If it weren’t for seeing with one’s own eyes, no one would believe that the current room was the same ward that Shu Wan had left that morning.

All the furniture had been replaced, including the hospital bed which had been swapped out for a two-meter by two-meter memory foam mattress.

A high-definition screen hung on the wall of the ward, and Fu Yang was nestled in the sofa, playing games on the screen.

He was wearing headphones, totally unaware of Shu Wan’s arrival, endlessly criticizing his teammates, “Could you guys suck any more?

So stupid—never seen anyone as dumb as you, can’t stand it, could’ve strapped a dog to the controller and it would’ve played better.”

Shu Wan frowned slightly, “Does the hospital allow just anyone to swap out equipment?”

The Housekeeper stepped forward silently, “Young Madam, our young master is the largest shareholder of this hospital.”

In other words, it wasn’t just about switching out the hospital’s equipment—even if they changed everything in the hospital, the hospital management wouldn’t dare say a word.

“I see.” Shu Wan waved her hand, “You all go out.”

“Alright.”

With Shu Wan there to hold down the fort, everyone could finally relax a bit.

They quickly left the ward for fear of being caught up in the impending storm if they stayed too long.

“Damn it, are you blind?

The enemy’s gun is practically in your face and you can’t see it; tell me the truth, are you a seventy-year-old Parkinson’s patient sneaking on to play with your grandson’s account?

You—”

Fu Yang continued to belittle his teammates.

In the midst of his ranting, his headphones were suddenly snatched away.

Unable to hear the game sounds, and thus unaware of the enemy’s approach, Fu Yang was instantly killed off.

Looking at the word “Defeated” floating on the screen, Fu Yang threw the controller onto the table in anger, “Shu Wan, why are you so damn annoying!!”

Fu Yang had reached the point where he didn’t need to look back to know whether it was Shu Wan; after all, aside from Shu Wan, no one else dared to remove his headphones while he was playing.

“What are you playing?” To Fu Yang’s surprise, Shu Wan didn’t sit high and mighty lecturing him about playing games this time, but instead sat next to him and took a serious look at the controller.

“What are you doing?” Fu Yang turned his head, warily watching Shu Wan, “A charm offensive?

I’m not buying that.”

Shu Wan was quick on the uptake.

While Fu Yang was on guard against her, she had already read through the game manual, something she had never been in contact with before, “Aren’t your teammates bad?

Let’s try together.”

“Try what?” Fu Yang’s gaze became even more guarded.

He had never felt so uneasy even when Shu Wan was overpowering him physically; he always felt she was a bit scarier when smiling, “I’m not playing with you, don’t try to cozy up to me, and you’re definitely terrible at it.”

Shu Wan didn’t bother arguing with Fu Yang; she just nodded her head, “Fine, if you won’t play with me, I’ll have all this thrown out.

It’s your choice.”

“……” The family members didn’t understand; they had encountered a devil.
