After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 888: Case Solved

Chapter 888: Chapter 888: Case Solved

Some people couldn’t even wait for the domestic release schedule and flew abroad just to get an early look.

After the movie’s release, "Rivers and Lakes" naturally qualified to compete.

At this point, Quan Feifei finally learned about this matter.

She didn’t doubt its authenticity because she had already seen Shi Yaoguang attending some events with Ruanruan.

Looking at Ruanruan standing beside Shi Yaoguang, she finally understood what was going on.

Initially, she had wondered how Ruanruan managed to establish her parentage with Quan Chengyi.

Her plan was flawless; no one could have figured it out. How did Ruanruan prove herself?

Now, it all made sense.

Case solved.

They were working together, purposely plotting against her.

Thinking of this, Quan Feifei’s eyes turned cold, as if ready to kill.

But no matter how sharp her gaze was, it couldn’t attract the attention of Shi Yaoguang and Ruanruan.

Perhaps in their eyes, she was just a clown jumping around!

Full of indignation, Quan Feifei found no one paid her any mind.

That was bad enough.

What worried her most was who would take home the award this time.

Although her position had been very stable before, nearly everyone was convinced that she would certainly become the Best Actress.

Of course, that was based on a condition.

The condition was... if nothing unexpected happened.

If nothing unexpected happened, Quan Feifei would be the Best Actress of this film festival.

But what if something unexpected did happen?

Ruanruan and Shi Yaoguang had joined forces.

Quan Feifei didn’t believe they wouldn’t conspire together.

Since they were colluding, how could they let her go?

Unlikely!

All Quan Feifei wanted now was the Best Actress trophy.

Only by truly becoming the Best Actress could she ease her worries.

Otherwise, she would have nothing left.

She wasn’t the eldest daughter of the Quan Family, not the Best Actress; she was nothing!

With this obsession in mind, Quan Feifei was fixated on becoming the Best Actress!

As she was thinking this, the hot searches on Weibo updated.

#BestRiversAndLakes#

#TopCourtesan#

#DoubleFemaleLeadHitSeries#

#RiversAndLakesAscension#

Nearly all these trending searches were related to Shi Yaoguang’s "Rivers and Lakes."

Seeing the rising popularity of "Rivers and Lakes," Quan Feifei felt a chill all over.

No!

She absolutely couldn’t let "Rivers and Lakes" steal the Best Actress spot that was supposed to be hers.

She couldn’t panic.

She still had a chance.

Yes, she still had a chance!

Although "Rivers and Lakes" received rave reviews, it wasn’t without its shortcomings.

She was sure she could find them!

In order to find the flaws of "Rivers and Lakes," Quan Feifei deliberately searched online for pirated resources.

Then...

She found nothing.

If she could, Quan Feifei really didn’t want to contribute even a penny.

She didn’t want to do anything that would boost the heat for Shi Yaoguang’s movie.

However, if she didn’t, she’d have no way to attack the movie by exploiting its shortcomings.

To better grasp a way to attack Shi Yaoguang, she ultimately decided to take a trip abroad.

She specifically went to a small country where "Rivers and Lakes" was showing and watched the movie from start to finish.

After watching it, she had only one feeling.

Amazing!

Brilliant!

Perfect!

Realizing what she had just thought, her face turned extremely ugly.

People’s subconscious reactions are the hardest to fool themselves.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

After all Shi Yaoguang had done to her, she still found Shi Yaoguang’s movie excellent.

She even thought Ruanruan...

No, it wasn’t just Ruanruan.

The acting skills of the double female leads were excellent, and Xiao Shanghe, the male lead, also performed very well.

Furthermore, all the supporting actors and extras were also outstanding.

From top to bottom, not a single actor underperformed; everyone was performing with utmost dedication.

The clearer this fact became, the more resentful Quan Feifei felt.

At the same time, she solidified a thought in her mind.

This must be Shi Yaoguang’s doing.

A film crew is full of all kinds of people.

How could it be that everyone was so invested?

It’s impossible that Shi Yaoguang paid every actor a lead actor’s salary.

In that case, how could the performances of the extras still be so good?

The atmosphere among the actors felt so natural, like a real "Rivers and Lakes."

For this reason, she had even more reason to suspect that this was Shi Yaoguang’s scheme.

Shi Yaoguang must have known she had the Best Actress System.

So she used the Best Actress System.

The fact that Shi Yaoguang could directly strip the system from her showed that Shi Yaoguang’s power was definitely above that of the Best Actress System.

As long as she threatened, the Best Actress System would surely compromise.

Thinking this way, she couldn’t help but feel that Shi Yaoguang was no big deal.

No matter how capable she was, she still had to rely on the Best Actress System, didn’t she?

"Shi Yaoguang, just you wait..."

Looking at the reviews on the app, the high ratings on Douban for "Rivers and Lakes," and the discussions and praises of the performances of its cast, Quan Feifei showed a sinister smile.

Many of these people were the ones who previously said she would certainly become this year’s Best Actress.

Now they were turning around and praising Ruanruan and Mei Yunduo.

They even said the two of them could compete for this year’s Best Actress.

This made Quan Feifei very displeased.

Knowing she couldn’t rest easy, she was too tired to struggle anymore.

If she were to lose, she would take everyone down with her!

The madness in Quan Feifei’s eyes was hair-raising.

Anyone passing by her and seeing her expression would feel a sudden unease in their heart.

This...

This person is so strange.

Could she have something wrong with her mind?

Better keep a distance from her.

...

Quan Feifei’s thoughts about mutual destruction were, of course, unknown to Shi Yaoguang.

However, she was prepared for anything.

She wasn’t afraid of Quan Feifei causing trouble; she was only afraid that Quan Feifei wouldn’t cause trouble.

Ruanruan had grown braver after attending several meet-and-greet events with Shi Yaoguang.

No matter what kind of occasion, she handled it with ease.

In everyone’s eyes, this became a testament to her excellence.

Watching her handle things so skillfully, Shi Yaoguang, naturally, was very satisfied.

Mei Yunduo and Xiao Shanghe, however, didn’t attend the meet-and-greet events and premieres due to "personal reasons."

Shi Yaoguang understood this as well.

After all...

She had known about their situation from the start and wouldn’t force them.

Their only reason for following her was the promise of a meal.

Compared to their identities, meet-and-greets were insignificant.

In fact, not appearing publicly was the best choice for them.

A pair of tacit fugitive lovers, showing up together in public view, the scene...

Would inevitably be a battlefield.

Indeed.

While Xiao Shanghe still didn’t know who Mei Yunduo was, Shi Yaoguang already knew.

Mei Yunduo and Xiao Shanghe were indeed two peas in a pod.

They both ran away from their marriage.

Only Xiao Shanghe was upfront about his motive from the beginning.

Mei Yunduo, however, was not.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Mei Yunduo was not the oriole; she was the one holding the slingshot behind it.

Xiao Shanghe’s original betrothal wasn’t with Mei Yunduo.
