Chapter 788: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor (End)

Tang Wan wasn't surprised at all when she learned that Wan Jie had cheated.

Wan Jie was someone who was afraid of being seen as a kept man, but in reality, that's exactly what he was.

Being together with Bai Pingting and having her satisfy part of his self-esteem was one thing. More importantly, wasn't it because she was the daughter of the Bai family?

Now that the Bai family had gone bankrupt, he had finally revealed his true nature and could no longer tolerate Bai Pingting's personality.

But simply ruining his career wasn't enough.

The original host had lost her reputation, her innocence, and her family because of him.

At the very least, he needed to taste the same suffering.

So before long, Wan Jie was tricked by his manager into accepting a film.

It wasn't until he arrived on set that he learned it was a gay film—and an adult-oriented one at that.

Wan Jie's expression immediately changed, and he turned around to leave.

But the director stopped him.

"You can leave if you want, but first pay ten million yuan in breach-of-contract fees."

"What did you say? I only get a hundred thousand yuan for accepting this film, but the breach-of-contract fee is ten million? Are you trying to rob me?" Wan Jie couldn't help saying.

Hearing this, the director sneered. "So what? Since you accepted the role, you should have known what would happen if you refused to act."

As he spoke, he glanced at the other male actor nearby, who had a large and imposing build.

Seeing this, the male actor immediately gave Wan Jie a big smile.

After all, this film didn't have much of a script, so they could act however they wanted.

Besides, Wan Jie was quite his type.

……

Seeing the male actor's expression, Wan Jie hurriedly backed away.

"Don't come over! I'm warning you, what you're doing is illegal!"

"Illegal? The contract you signed is right there in black and white. Even if you sue me, I'm the one in the right! Everyone, take your positions. We're officially getting ready to start filming!" The director couldn't be bothered with what Wan Jie had to say.

As long as they made the film successfully and earned money, that was all that mattered to him.

Hearing this, Wan Jie was truly frightened.

He immediately ran toward the exit of the set.

But two burly extras quickly blocked his way. Before long, the tall male actor had carried Wan Jie back onto the set.

Wan Jie was panicked and terrified, continuously hurling curses at them.

Yet in the end, he still failed to escape.

……

Only after learning that Wan Jie had been tricked by his manager did the pent-up anger in Tang Wan's heart finally dissipate.

She had always acted according to the principle of having absolutely no contact with the male and female protagonists, but this time, Wan Jie was simply too disgusting.

If she didn't destroy him, she couldn't swallow this pent-up anger.

After that, Tang Wan stopped paying attention to news about the male and female protagonists.

That day, it was Shang Baitong's thirty-fifth birthday.

In the original storyline, Shang Baitong had committed suicide and died on this very day.

But this time, with Tang Wan by his side, naturally things were different.

Since it was Shang Baitong's birthday, after discussing it, the two decided to go abroad, relax, and take a trip together.

Tang Wan spent the entire flight on tenterhooks. Only after they safely arrived at the hotel did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid they might encounter some kind of plane crash.

After resting for one night, the two went to a restaurant nearby that was notoriously difficult to get a reservation at for a candlelit dinner.

However, just as the food was served, a foreigner at the neighboring table suddenly stood up with a vicious expression and began firing a gun indiscriminately around the restaurant.

Tang Wan: ……

Fuck this!

China really was much safer after all.

Why had she agreed to go abroad with Tongtong?!

……

Her body went limp and collapsed onto the dining table.

Once again, Tang Wan watched as Shang Baitong transformed into snowflakes and disappeared before her eyes.
