Chapter 20: The Third Female Antagonist

"Thought it was someone else, turns out it's just you, you mangy cur," sneered Su Yuqing.

She had blacklisted all of Jiang Chenan's contacts, yet he had the nerve to call her from an unknown number.

"What did you say? You and that slut have offended the Jiang Family, you..."

"What are you yapping about? I just told a few truths," Su Yuqing thought of Jiang Chenan's flustered and exasperated state and felt happy inside.

Idiot.

"I know it was you, and I won't let you off!" Jiang Chenan said through clenched teeth, "You a burden of the Su Family, a bastard, I will make you wish you were dead!

Su Yuqing rolled her eyes and was about to deny everything. She opened her mouth and said, "Yes, it was me. What can you do about it? If you have the guts, bite me! Idiot."

Su Yuqing... forgot about that damn Truth System.

Jiang Chenan on the other end of the line was so furious he was about to burst. It was indeed her!

That bitch!

"Don't call me again in the future, your voice makes me sick! Three-second man!" Su Yuqing hung up the phone with a snap.

Jiang Chenan was so angry that his face twisted, staring at the dark screen of his phone, he could no longer control himself and suddenly smashed it down.

Bang—

The phone shattered into pieces, just like his heart at that moment.

On the other hand, Su Yuqing was in quite a good mood. The Su Family, the Jiang Family—she would get back what they owed her.

The next day was clear and bright. Su Yuqing woke up early, practiced some yoga, changed her clothes, and went out shopping; there was a supermarket nearby.

She bought quite a lot of daily necessities and vegetables.

After making herself a simple breakfast, Su Yuqing started reading a book.

The original host... was a young girl about to take her college entrance exams.

Her grades were actually not bad, in fact, they were quite good. But because Ou Yulan always told her to keep a low profile so as not to steal the limelight from Su Chengxi,

Su Chengxi was the real young lady of the Su Family.

The young girl had always hidden her talents.

Seeing her like a worthless wall of mud, the people of the Su Family scorned and looked down upon her even more, making the girl's heart grow more sensitive and inferior.

That woman, Ou Yulan, really didn't deserve to be a mother.

"Hello? God He!" Su Yuqing rubbed her sore eyes.

"Are you home? Coffee shop outside the community, come over to sign the contract," He Suyan's slightly deep voice rang out.

Su Yuqing glanced at the time on the screen; it was already noon.

"Okay, I'll be right out."

"Have you had lunch?"

"Haven't had lunch."

"Then let's change to the private restaurant across the street."

"...All right." She always felt that God He was a bit too approachable.

Fu Jin watched He Suyan who had just hung up the phone with an indescribable expression, "I wanted to drink coffee."

"Mm, get it to go." With those words, he had already stood up.

"..."

Fifteen minutes later, Su Yuqing appeared in the private dining room of the restaurant.

"Order whatever you like," He Suyan placed the menu in front of her.

Su Yuqing didn't hold back, ordered a few dishes, and returned the menu to him.

Then, turning to Fu Jin, she said, "Let me take a look at the contract first."

Contracts in the entertainment circle were notoriously tricky; she had been taken advantage of in her previous life, oh right, in this life too.

Fu Jin handed her the contract.

Su Yuqing read it carefully, and for a while, you could hear a pin drop in the room.

He Suyan poured a cup of clear tea, slowly savoring it.

"Well?" Seeing Su Yuqing had finished reading, he asked.

"It's good, just like this."

Fu Jin was almost rolling his eyes; the contract was Chengtian's Class A contract; it would be strange if it wasn't satisfactory.

"However, I am a minor..."

"You can sign; you're already settled." He Suyan handed her a new household registration book.

That fast?

Su Yuqing flipped it open, and the address on the register was that of Walnut Place where she'd bought the large flat, and her birth date had already been changed to this month, yesterday.

"..."

Putting away the household registration book, Su Yuqing realized that in both of her lives, she was the only one listed in it.

After signing the contract, the food was served, and they discussed work while eating.

"The company has already arranged an assistant for you, who will arrive tomorrow. Oh, and this script, take a look." Fu Jin put down her chopsticks and took a script out of her bag.

"Female lead number three, the antagonist!"

Su Yuqing quickly entered work mode, taking the script without a rush to read it; she trusted Fu Jin's choice in scripts.

She just wondered if Fu Jin believed in her acting skills?

"Didn't you say you want to focus on acting? Let me first see what you're capable of," said Fu Jin deliberately.

This script was just to test the waters.

Su Yuqing had acted in two low-profile dramas previously, with virtually... no acting skills to speak of.

"Sure." Su Yuqing indicated she wasn't scared.

"Then let's leave it at that for now. You've got an audition tomorrow, prepare for it yourself."

"Okay."

He Suyan waited for them to finish talking about work before speaking, "I've made arrangements with the school, but regarding the college entrance exam..."

"I have a plan." Su Yuqing had already decided where she wanted to take her college exams.

"Do you want me to find you a tutor?" He Suyan nodded.

Actually, it's not necessary to aim for a film school.

"No need; my grades are quite good."

Fu Jin's mouth twitched slightly, quite good?

What about the public image disaster online?

Su Yuqing didn't bother to explain; the results would show in time.

She wasn't planning to apply to a film academy; she wasn't professionally trained in her past life either, but by now, she had honed her acting skills and wanted to try for the college of her dreams.

In the entertainment industry, there are very few people with high academic qualifications – they are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

He Suyan was among the best of them.

He was a high-achieving student from the Department of Economics at Capital University, who was even recommended for postgraduate studies but gave it up.

The next day, Su Yuqing was woken up by the doorbell.

She went to bed late doing problems last night and couldn't get up on time today.

Groggily opening the door, she saw a round-faced, adorable girl.

"Good morning, Sister Su. I'm Xiao Zhu, the assistant the company arranged for you," the young girl greeted cheerfully, giving off a very comfortable vibe.

"Xiao Zhu, come in. Don't call me sister, just call me by my name," Su Yuqing said with a smile.

After all, she was only eighteen.

"Then I'll call you Su Su," Xiao Zhu said. "Su Su, go freshen up. I'll tidy things up. We have an audition today, and the car is already waiting downstairs."

Su Yuqing watched her busy new assistant and smiled.

So energetic.

The company had also arranged a car for her, which Su Yuqing knew about.

Chengtian didn't have many artists, but they were all treated well.

She went into the bathroom and quickly finished freshening up; Xiao Zhu had already taken out clothes for her to wear.

An outfit that was neither flashy nor too subdued—a dress.

Since Su Yuqing was only eighteen, she didn't need much makeup, just a simple touch-up was enough.

Downstairs, the car was indeed waiting. Once in the car, she closed her eyes to rest, recalling the script.

She had read it once after getting home the day before.

The script was for a period drama with a strong female lead. Female lead number three was a vicious supporting character, but she had her redeeming traits; she was forced into villainy, a perfect embodiment of tragic beauty and strength.

If portrayed well, such a character could be very popular.

"Su Su, we're here."
