After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 887: I Choose the Second Option!

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: I Choose the Second Option!

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, Ruanruan would never have believed that someone could take credit for another’s achievements, or steal their identity.

She and Quan Feifei had looks and temperaments that could be described with a single phrase.

Uncannily alike.

Therefore, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable that she and Quan Feifei could be mistaken for one another.

However...

Quan Feifei was her good friend!

Before their fallout, they had been the best of friends.

Ruanruan couldn’t quite understand why Quan Feifei would treat her this way.

Had she done something to let Quan Feifei down?

No matter how she thought about it, Ruanruan didn’t believe she had wronged her.

It was rather Quan Feifei who...

For the sake of ambition, had exploited and sacrificed Ruanruan countless times.

Ruanruan, for the sake of their past friendship, hadn’t held it against Quan Feifei.

But the thought that her forbearance had been seen as a form of indulgence by Feifei made her feel sick to her stomach.

How could anyone be so shameless?

When it came to the issue with Shi Yaoguang, Ruanruan actually didn’t hesitate much.

She had decided. She would acknowledge her true parentage!

Quan Chengyi was her father.

If Quan Feifei cherished that so much, even to the point of stealing an identity to become his daughter,

then she surely wouldn’t allow Quan Feifei’s wish to go unchallenged.

She had to let Quan Feifei understand that the position she coveted so much was one she would never deserve. Only then would justice be served!

"Director, can you help me contact Mr. Quan Chengyi?"

After making up her mind, Ruanruan wanted Shi Yaoguang’s help.

Shi Yaoguang was naturally willing to assist, but first, she needed to clarify something to Ruanruan, "Cousin Quan already knows your identity. Quan Feifei will likely know soon as well."

Hearing this, Ruanruan smiled.

After so much effort, to end up with nothing but an empty basket – that feeling must be very painful for Quan Feifei, right?

"Quan Feifei doesn’t have any real acting skills. She used the Quan family’s connections to accumulate a lot of resources for herself in the past."

"Once the truth is revealed, Cousin Quan won’t be paying her penalty fees. No matter how dissatisfied she is, Quan Feifei will have to fulfill the contracts she previously signed."

Shi Yaoguang analyzed the situation with Ruanruan, "You now have two choices. One is to go back and be the young lady you rightfully are, the other is to stand at the peak she could never reach, making her look up to you..."

"I choose the second one!" Ruanruan hardly hesitated.

She and Quan Feifei were different.

Quan Feifei chose the path of showbiz because of the Best Actress System.

Before acquiring the Best Actress System, she had seduced Mr. Pang, hoping he would help her gather resources in showbiz, not because she had any true aspirations there.

She did it solely for the glitzy lifestyle showbiz could offer her.

Shi Yaoguang could see that Ruanruan and Quan Feifei were different.

Surely,

life isn’t easy.

No one lives untouched by worldly concerns.

Eat, drink, live – everything costs money.

But Quan Feifei’s situation wasn’t just about expenses.

Whatever one does, it can be understandable.

Every adult has the right to choose how they live their life.

But no one has the right to decide the life and death of someone else outside themselves.

What Quan Feifei had done to Ruanruan already exceeded the bounds of morality.

So, no matter what Ruanruan intended to do to Quan Feifei, it was justifiable.

After all, isn’t it only fair to return the favor?

Ruanruan had figured it out clearly.

The resentment between her and Quan Feifei had already formed; it was impossible for her to pretend nothing had happened.

If pretending nothing happened was impossible, then she could only use her own strength to make Quan Feifei see that the things she had strived for so long and failed to obtain could be easily won by Ruanruan, creating a stark contrast.

With a clear goal in mind, Ruanruan became even more determined.

The Best Actress System worked hand-in-hand with Ruanruan, to the point of being moved to tears.

If it had initially bonded with Ruanruan, and not Quan Feifei, it would have already successfully trained an A-list actress by now.

Ruanruan genuinely loved acting and was genuinely diligent in her efforts.

This motivated the Best Actress System to work harder, delivering all its skills directly to her.

Ruanruan’s acting skills visibly improved by leaps and bounds, astonishing her co-stars Mei Yunduo and Xiao Shanghe.

After their initial shock, they could only strive to catch up.

If they didn’t work hard, they might end up with nothing to eat.

Wasn’t this a painful realization?

...

During the intense filming period of the "Rivers and Lakes" crew, Quan Feifei wasn’t idle either.

Other than having to report to "Love Cabin" every week, she had other schedules to keep up with.

Previously, relying on the Quan Family’s connections, she had signed numerous contracts, which now felt like a huge burden.

Every day as she recapped her day, she felt like slapping herself.

If she had known that so many contracts would run her ragged, she would never have agreed to the System’s instigation and taken on so much work at once.

If she were still Quan Chengyi’s daughter, she could have asked him to help with contract terminations.

But now, Quan Chengyi no longer acknowledges her.

She can only toil day after day, running to different engagements.

Besides running engagements, all she could do was bitterly curse Shi Yaoguang in her heart.

If it weren’t for her, she could still be living a life of luxury and adoration.

But no amount of complaints or grievances could solve any problems.

Every day when she opens her eyes, she rushes to engagements.

Before she closes her eyes at night, she has to confirm if her press releases are completed, avoiding the need to pay penalties for breaches.

To her, this kind of life was nothing short of hellish torment.

If there was one good thing about it, perhaps it’s...

Quan Chengyi didn’t cold-heartedly announce the news to the public.

In the eyes of outsiders, she was still the eldest daughter of the Quan Family.

Because of this status, no one dared to look down on her.

Otherwise, she couldn’t even dream of living this kind of life.

In fact, Quan Feifei felt that running to different engagements was tough, but in the eyes of the investors, her performance wasn’t satisfactory at all.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was still considered Quan Chengyi’s daughter, someone would have kicked her out long ago.

Given the circumstances, Quan Feifei was self-aware enough not to cause more trouble.

She just wanted to quietly finish all her press releases.

Her agent was shocked seeing how quietly obedient Quan Feifei had become during this period.

Even in the past six months, Quan Feifei had never been this quiet. He wondered if she had taken the wrong medicine.

Then...

He was "unexpectedly" informed that Quan Feifei wasn’t Quan Chengyi’s daughter at all.

His first reaction was disbelief.

How could it be possible?

He couldn’t help but ask Quan Feifei, and the answer he got was affirmative.

Quan Feifei admitted it.

"I am indeed not Quan Chengyi’s daughter."

As she said this, she looked at the agent with disdain, "What, now that you know I’m not Quan Chengyi’s daughter, you look down on me?"

"No, no," in his heart, the agent did look down on Quan Feifei, but he would never admit it.

He forced a smile, "I just find it a bit surprising."

"Hmph." Quan Feifei rolled her eyes, not bothering to listen to his explanations.

The agent had a temper too.

He treated Quan Feifei kindly because she was Quan Chengyi’s daughter.

Now that she had lost her backing, she still didn’t know how to behave humbly. The agent wasn’t without temper himself.

After all, he was a top agent.

Did Quan Feifei really think she was some big deal?

Angry, the agent couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and directly requested the company to switch clients.

Before, he had catered to Quan Feifei partly because of the company’s arrangement and partly because he thought there were benefits to be gained by staying close to the eldest daughter.

But now.

Not only did he gain nothing, but he also had to serve a fake princess.

Of course, he wouldn’t continue.

Quan Feifei never expected him to leave so abruptly, and she was dumbfounded.

She thought she had given the agent so many benefits before, and no matter what, he wouldn’t abandon her.

Unexpectedly, the agent had no loyalty and left just like that.

She had no idea what to do.

Quan Feifei looked through her remaining schedules, unable to help but cover her face and cry.

While she was crying without knowing why, Ruanruan was diligently filming.

While she was rushing through half of her press releases, Ruanruan was working hard on set.

When she was about to finish this month’s press releases, Ruanruan’s first film "Rivers and Lakes" wrapped up.

With the System, Ruanruan seemed almost divinely assisted.

When Mei Yunduo and Xiao Shanghe filmed with her, they always had moments of sudden realization.

The lead actors were so dedicated that the rest of the cast and crew couldn’t lag behind.

Because everyone was working so hard, even though the filming period for "Rivers and Lakes" was significantly shorter than other movies, its quality was unmatched.

After it wrapped up, it immediately went into intense post-production editing.

The aim was to sneak "Rivers and Lakes" into the latest film festival before the awards began.

The films directed by Shi Yaoguang were released, and even though due to scheduling issues they could only premiere overseas, they still caused quite a stir back home.
