Chapter 15

Though they did not know who the male lead Shiwei mentioned was, they already had a premonition. He was probably someone who would climb to the top by stepping on cannon fodder villains like them.

Leyao might be among the first batch of cannon fodder. She could not quite bear the thought.

Father Jiang was just about to call his business partner when he heard Song Shiwei let out an explosive scream.

[Aaaaaah! Sister Leyao! You are my god!!!]

[Oh my god, you actually played the male lead! You deliberately let Li Yongyan expose himself. The stock price was bound to fall, and then you took advantage of the chaos to dump all your shares, got the male lead to buy Li Group stock, and suddenly announced you were washing your hands of it. From now on, you would only run LY Haute Couture womenswear and the womenswear brands under it.]

[The male lead's wish to short Li Group and acquire LY Haute Couture womenswear on the cheap fell through, and he even sank another three hundred million into it. What a thrilling business war.]

[Sister Leyao, next you need to keep a close eye on your-your family's company seal. That damned gay husband of yours really will steal it!]

Song Shiwei, who had been looking utterly woeful just moments earlier, suddenly let out a wail, leaving Father Jiang and Mother Jiang dumbfounded. They hurriedly hauled up Jiang Ye, who was wallowing in melancholy nearby. "Hurry up and check. What exactly happened with Leyao?"

As a level-ten internet surfer, Jiang Ye no longer had time to worry about his broken heart. He immediately opened Weibo. Good grief, the entire site had crashed.

Eight of the top ten posts were about the Li couple's breakup, and another was the massive bombshell Zhang Leyao had dropped.

Zhang Leyao had actually posted every piece of evidence Zhang Lexuan had collected online. The netizens who had been unanimously condemning Zhang Leyao just moments ago instantly realized that bastard Li Yongyan had been using them as his guns!

[Zhang Leyao V: Li Yongyan, what kind of man are you? Not only did you cheat, you also drink, whore around, and gamble. I'm throwing all the evidence right in your face. Your lousy company was already losing money and bankrupt, you phoenix man. Take the divorce papers and get the hell away from me. Don't make me slap you. Let me say one more thing here: I want to thank Miss Song! I will personally design a couture gown for Miss Song Shiwei to thank her for saving me from the abyss.]

Another post was a group photo from the police station's official Weibo account, commending Song Shiwei for her bravery and presenting her with a silk banner. It had also dragged him onto the trending searches along the way.

At the very bottom was even a trending topic about Wang Group finding its younger young master. Following Song Shiwei's instructions to the letter, the boss had given all company employees three days of paid leave to pray for the young master's blessings.

Every netizen was an expert melon eater. Faced with this wild spectacle, they had shouldered their little melon-eating stools at the first opportunity, settled in early, and eagerly dug into the gossip.

As they kept eating melons, they noticed that one name seemed to crop up repeatedly in every story: Song Shiwei.

"Good grief, what the hell kind of spectacle is going on tonight?"

"What keeps you awake at midnight? Eating melons, of course! And these are wealthy-family melons, each more explosive than the last."

"Boo-hoo, the girl in the police station's post is so pretty. The way she looks so socially anxious is exactly like me posing for photos with relatives when I go home."

"Wait? I think I've spotted something we missed. Everyone's thanking the same person, right? Song Shiwei?!!"

"Song Shiwei even appeared with Jiang Ye in the police's commendation photo!!!"

"Holy crap, it's come full circle. Song Shiwei helped the Wang Family find their younger young master, helped the police arrest their eldest young master, and even helped couture designer Zhang Leyao catch her double-sided-tape husband along the way?!"

"Wow, this woman is incredible. She shouldered three wealthy-family melons all by herself and actually held them up."

For a while, there was no telling how many times netizens repeated Song Shiwei's name. Everyone was curious about just what sort of extraordinary figure she was.

She had actually appeared in every wealthy-family gossip spectacle, and every melon she served was guaranteed genuine. This was simply the highest realm of melon eating.

Everyone affectionately called Song Shiwei Sister Song Gua.

The author had something to say:

I finally passed driving test three today! Let the whole world celebrate-red packets for everyone!!!

Chapter 15: Chapter 15

◎Joining a production? That production where practically everyone is a walking legal scandal?◎

Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Ye were all dumbfounded by what they saw. They had actually managed to feast on every single one of these huge melons without missing a thing. Song Shiwei, Sister Song Gua, truly lived up to her reputation.

Jiang Ye had not expected to hitch a ride onto the trending searches himself. Everyone was only a step away from planting the title of "public-spirited good citizen" on his head. It was rather embarrassing, really.

But he also seemed to have realized that only after leaving Wen Chuxue could he bravely be himself, without having to worry about her saintly heart or her strange logic.

The moment he punished evil and upheld good, he experienced a happiness unlike anything he had ever felt. As it turned out, there were still plenty of things he could do after leaving Wen Chuxue.

As Song Shiwei continued eating melons, her gaze unexpectedly shifted back to the Weibo post from the police station.

[Jiang Ye actually made the trending searches too. I never expected him to have so many fans. Unlucky in love, lucky at work, huh.]

[Actually, this dumb dog is pretty decent. With all that strength, why not put it to good use? Even working as a bodyguard would easily earn him ten or twenty thousand, but he just had to be a simp. Not only did he lose his heart, he nearly lost his life too.]

[Judging by this dumb dog's stupid, melancholy look, he'll probably go running back the moment the female lead beckons, only for her to torment him within an inch of his life in the end. All my mother-in-law's painstaking efforts really have been wasted.]

Jiang Ye had not expected Song Shiwei to still be thinking about him at a time like this. He had just suffered a breakup. Was he not even allowed to wallow a little?

And was he really that pathetic? Would he eagerly offer himself up to be tormented again?

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at him with deep, lingering gazes. Jiang Ye abruptly sat up straight and said solemnly, "Mom, Dad, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll go audition and join the production. I swear I absolutely won't see Wen Chuxue."

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang nodded in approval. "Good. Pack your things and get back to the set tomorrow. You're not allowed back for three months."

Jiang Ye nodded in wholehearted agreement. He really was afraid he might soften again.

As it happened, his agent had sent him a big-budget production he could audition for over the past couple of days. He would join the production tomorrow and would not leave until filming was finished.
