Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time
Chapter 231: Borrowing Influence

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Borrowing Influence

Su Xiaomei’s smile faltered as she stared intently at Wan Chu’er, as if trying to discern something.

Unfortunately, Wan Chu’er still had an icy expression, neither smug nor angry.

Wan Chu’er said indifferently, "I heard your family has some background, yet you have to be dominated by a nanny’s daughter. How mediocre."

The disdain and mockery in her tone felt like a harsh slap across Su Xiaomei’s face.

Su Xiaomei gritted her teeth, "Nanny’s daughter? Ask the classmate next to you, whose nanny she is."

"Moreover, aren’t the things mentioned in the post true?

You just rely on your pretty face to flirt with different men.

Even Senior Zheng’s boyfriend, you dare to seduce."

Wan Chu’er spat disdainfully to the side and turned to leave, paying no heed whatsoever to Su Xiaomei and her words.

This kind of blatant contempt and disregard hurt more than if she had verbally abused Su Xiaomei.

Mai Qiqi hurriedly followed the striding Wan Chu’er, anxiously asking:

"Is it really Zheng Yun, what are you going to do? Do you want my help? It would be great if we could meet Grandpa Zhong and complain to him in person.

With Grandpa Zhong intervening, the grudge between you and Zheng Yun could be resolved.

But Grandpa Zhong leads a secluded life, and ordinary people can’t even meet him."

It was apparent that Mai Qiqi was genuinely worried about Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er stopped, flashed a smile at Mai Qiqi, and said:

"Don’t worry, I have my ways. By next Monday, you will definitely see a post online where Su Xiaomei offers a public apology."

Mai Qiqi exclaimed in disbelief.

After some thought, she still felt it would be better to visit the Su Family with her grandfather on Saturday, hoping that her grandfather’s presence could keep Su Xiaomei out of this matter.

The two casually ate something outside before heading home separately.

Wan Chu’er had said she wouldn’t return home that evening when she left in the morning, yet here she was heading back.

After much consideration, the only option she had was to seek help from the respected senior of her family.

In the morning, she was still coldly confronting Old Man Zhong, but now she was ready to leverage his influence without any guilt.

It was like collecting rent.

Entering the housing complex, Wan Chu’er ran into Yan Hui again.

"Mr. Yan, are you out for a walk again?"

Yan Hui smiled gently, "The scenery in the neighborhood is quite nice at night, are you just returning?"

Wan Chu’er chuckled, and hearing Yan Hui’s melodious voice washed away much of the afternoon’s displeasures.

After a brief exchange, they parted ways.

Her encounter with Yan Hui had greatly improved her mood.

Therefore, Old Sir Zhong, Xiao Bai, and Li Shan were quite surprised to see her back—they hadn’t expected her return for a couple of days.

Not only was she back, but she also wore a smile.

Several people looked outside together to see if the sun had risen from the west, only to discover that the sun had already set, and the moon had risen.

Xiao Bai asked, "Wan Chu’er, did something joyful happen?"

Wan Chu’er replied, "I just ran into Mr. Yan outside. Seeing such a gracious and beautiful person, and hearing his lovely voice naturally made me happy."

Old Sir Zhong: "..."

We should invite Yan Hui over more often.

Li Shan: "..."

Why does it feel like Xiao Hui has been harassed by Wan Chu’er?

Xiao Bai wanted to facepalm; this womanish figure really knows no subtlety.

Old Sir Zhong snorted.

Wan Chu’er walked straight over and sat beside Old Sir Zhong.

"Old man, I need to discuss something with you."

Old Sir Zhong’s mouth twitched, "Call me Grandpa."

Wan Chu’er snorted, "Aren’t you always not fond of nagging? It’s just a title. Why the fuss? Old man or Grandpa, aren’t you both?"

Li Shan glared at Wan Chu’er.

Old Sir Zhong waved his hand, "Speak your piece."

Wan Chu’er said, "I need to borrow your influence for a bit. Don’t worry, it won’t be for nothing. I can let you stay here for a month. That one year you mentioned this morning doesn’t count."

Xiao Bai swallowed hard, thinking to himself that Wan Chu’er is bold to talk to Old Sir Zhong like this.

If glaring could hurt, Li Shan might have glared a hole in Wan Chu’er by now.

Old Sir Zhong cut to the chase, "Have you been bullied?"

Wan Chu’er choked, this old man is too sharp.

"Sort of, so I need to borrow your influence to bully back," Wan Chu’er said assertively. "And it’s your fault, when you think about it."

Old Sir Zhong glared, "How is it my fault?"

Wan Chu’er explained, "Because you can’t control your own maid’s daughter, Zheng Yun. She just hypocritically apologized to me, then immediately had someone slander me online.

Why is Zheng Yun so bold? Because you blindly support her."

What?

Zheng Yun dared to bully his granddaughter!

Old Sir Zhong got angry and shouted, "Li Shan, call Zheng Yun and tell her to get over here."

Wan Chu’er hurriedly intervened, "No, this is my new home. Don’t let just anyone come over, they’ll dirty my place. I want to slap them back hard myself, that will be more satisfying."

Old Sir Zhong glanced at her and asked, "How do you plan to use this influence to hit back?"

"Do you know Su Jiancheng, your former subordinate, also an old man? I heard he’s celebrating his sixtieth birthday this Saturday," said Wan Chu’er.

Old Sir Zhong thought for a moment and nodded, "What does he have to do with this?"

Wan Chu’er coolly said, "Your old subordinate’s granddaughter turned into Zheng Yun’s pawn."

Old Sir Zhong hmphed.

"This Saturday, why don’t you take me to see this sixtieth birthday celebration? I’ve never seen an old man celebrate his birthday, especially someone of high status. I want to broaden my horizons and slap some faces while I’m at it," Wan Chu’er said cheerfully.

Then when Old Man Zhong shows up as a true influencer, we’ll see if Su Xiaomei continues to support Zheng Yun or apologizes to me obediently.

It would be great if Zheng Yun could come too.

"Old man, can you make sure Zheng Yun also comes? I guess she’ll likely attend, but to be safe, you might want to arrange it."

Before Old Sir Zhong could respond, Li Shan said, "Zheng Yun often attends these types of events. People who care about you often entertain Zheng Yun."

Old Sir Zhong scowled, "A bunch of little bastards! I’ll see myself how they entertain Zheng Yun then."

Xiao Bai seized the opportunity, "Grandpa, please take me with you. I want to broaden my horizons too. If Chu’er’s hands get sore from hitting, I can take over."

Old Sir Zhong glanced at him, "If you want to go, then go."

After all, Xiao Bai is Zhenzhu’s grandson.

Having settled the matter, Wan Chu’er headed upstairs.

As she entered her room, she noticed several new vases of flowers that brightened up the space and filled the air with a gentle fragrance.

Definitely not Xiao Bai’s idea; he only fiddles with his own stuff.

It must be the old man’s idea.

A warm current slowly flowed through Wan Chu’er’s heart.
