The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead - Chapter 125.2
“Grandpa, I need to make a trip home first to… … to see my younger brother.” Wen Mu left the Shui Family Mansion in a muddled manner.
On the way, Wen Mu had a lot of thoughts racing through his mind. His younger brother was Wen Cheng, Cheng like inherit, Wen Qi’s intentions were obvious.
He’s going to give up his eldest son and pass on the company to Wen Cheng!
Without his identity as the heir, how could he pursue Nie Zhen’er?
From his first glance at Nie Zhen’er, he could tell that she was an ambitious girl. Without an impressive family background, it’s near impossible to conquer her.
Back at Wen Villa, Wen Mu stood at the door and rang the doorbell.
Just now, he attempted to use his fingerprint to open the door, but the fingerprint lock actually wouldn’t open.
Soon someone came to open the door, it was a strange middle-aged woman.
When the woman saw Wen Mu, she froze for a moment before patting her head, “You must be Wen Mu. Madam told me that you were coming home today. Come in, come in!”
Wen Mu entered the villa and found that the living room had changed drastically.
The floor was covered with soft carpets and every corner of the furniture was carefully covered with sponges. The tea set on the coffee table disappeared and was replaced with various dinosaur models.
Wen Mu took in everything and had to take a deep breath to not lose his temper.
After the woman welcomed him, she introduced herself, “My name is Peng Ran, and you can call me Auntie Peng. Originally, I was specially invited by Sir and Madam as a maternity nanny to take care of Cheng Cheng. Because of my great care of Cheng Cheng, Madam continued to hire after her month of postnatal care. I have already worked at the Wen family for four years.”
“Thanks to Madam who showed me your picture before going to the beauty salon. You looked the same as you were five years ago. I have lived for quite some time and I have never seen a handsomer boy than you, Wen Mu. You are so much more handsome than those stars on TV.”
Auntie Peng’s praise after praise improved Wen Mu’s mood quite a bit. When Auntie Peng mentioned stars, his relaxed face went dark again.
Because of Wen Cheng’s existence, it was impossible for him to be a star. The most important thing now is to tell Wen Qi that he wants to enter the company.
“Auntie Peng, where’s my dad?”
Auntie Peng answered, “Sir went to the company early this morning.”
After Auntie Peng finished answering Wen Mu’s question, she then sighed, “Sir really has it rough. Not only does he have to hold meetings and go on business trips, he also has to take care of Cheng Cheng. Madam even wants to share some of the burden for him, but Sir won’t let her no matter what. I’ve never seen a man who loves his wife that much. Madam really married the right person.”
Wen Mu laughed sarcastically. Love his wife, the one he loved was obviously his little son.
His eldest son was raised by his wife and didn’t suit his wishes. Of course, he had to raise the younger son by himself.
“My mom went to the beauty salon? When will she be back?” Wen Mu interrupted Auntie Peng’s flattery.
“Oh, Madam usually comes back around five o’clock in the afternoon. At that time, Sir and Cheng Cheng will also be back.”
“En, I see. Auntie Peng, you can get back to work.” Wen Mu glanced at the ladle in Auntie Peng’s hand.
Suddenly, Auntie Peng realized, “That’s right, I was stewing chicken soup.”
Auntie Peng hurriedly turned around to return to the kitchen and said to Wen Mu before leaving, “Cheng Cheng loves my chicken soup the most. You two brothers should have similar tastes. Knowing you came back, I specially cooked some more. Wen Mu, you‘re in luck tonight.”
She rushed into the kitchen.
Wen Mu: “… …” “Cheng Cheng” and “Cheng Cheng”, all she could mention was “Cheng Cheng”. Isn’t he just a five-year-old kid, just look at how much he’s regarded as a treasure by you all!
Carrying his luggage upstairs, Wen Mu planned to sleep and rest up. When he arrived outside his door and saw the big tree sticker on the door, Wen Mu suddenly had a bad premonition.
He pursed his lips and pushed open the door, suppressing the anger in his heart with all his will.
His bedroom, was actually turned into a children’s playroom! Did Wen Qi and Shui Yan still have him, this son in their hearts? ! !
Walking to the stairs on the second floor with a cold face, Wen Mu shouted, “Auntie Peng! Auntie Peng! Auntie Peng!”
“Ai, coming, coming. Wen Mu, what is the matter?” Auntie Peng panickyly ran to the bottom of the stairs and asked.
“Where is my bedroom?” Wen Mu gritted his teeth as his eyes were flushed with anger.
“Your bedroom? I, I haven’t been to the second floor, I’m not sure. Wen Mu, how about you open the doors one by one and take a look? I remembered Madam said that when they changed your room, the furnishings inside your room remained the same.”
“You knew that my original room was turned into a children’s playroom?”
Auntie Peng said, “I only overheard Madam mention something about it when I was about to leave for my hometown. My chicken soup is almost ready, I have to get back to the kitchen now. You can ask her about this matter when Madam comes back.”
Once Auntie Peng left, Wen Mu bitterly smacked the stair railing, causing himself to wince in pain.
At the same time, when the last scene of “Starry Sky and Heart” came to an end, Nie Zhen’er pushed the evening party, and under Luan Qing Xiao’s soft and hard soaking, he returned home and finally mentioned the move with his agent.
Nie Zhen’er’s agent, Cheng Tong, is in her thirties and appears to be a very gentle woman. However Nie Zhen’er heard from her company’s artists that Cheng Tong was super capable of snatching resources. Most of the resources of the film queen that she previously managed were snatched from others.
“Tong jie, my friend has an open apartment, can I rent it? The security in that community is extremely good. In the future when I become famous, the paparazzi will definitely not be able to sneak in and take pictures of me.”
Cheng Tong: “… …”
She silently rubbed her eyes and then glanced at Nie Zhen’er, “You’re already worrying about your future after just finishing filming one TV series? The monthly rent for a well-secured community starts at fifty thousand, while your account only has twenty thousand.”
“I still have the pay from《Starry Sky and Heart》. Moreover, my friend won’t ask me for as much rent. Tong jie, please just let me.”
“The salary for《Starry Sky and Heart》 is only 100 grand. After excluding the company’s share and taxes, there is only a little more than 30 thousand remaining. Even if your friend won’t request much rent, let’s say you pay 25K a month, you’re only going to live there for two months?”
“I know you want to have your own space, but this matter isn’t realistic for the current you yet.”
Cheng Tong’s gaze were like x-rays, “Zhen’er, tell Tong jie, did you start dating?”
Nie Zhen’er: “… …” I directly got married instead.
“No, Tong jie, I’m not dating anyone.” Saying this wasn’t really a lie.
“You’re only nineteen years old, don’t be fooled by those men in the entertainment industry who can only sweet talk.”
“I know, Tong jie. I won’t believe those men’s sweet talk. “She only believed in Luan Qing Xiao’s sweet talk.
In order to prevent Cheng Tong from continuing her suspicion, Nie Zhen’er could only temporarily give up talking to her about moving out.
She returned to her room to send a text to Luan Qing Xiao.
Zhen’er: Qing Xiao, I can’t convince Tong jie, what should I do? How about we wait a bit longer for our cohabitation?
Luan Qing Xiao immediately FaceTimed her.
Nie Zhen’er clicked the green sign and Luan Qing Xiao’s face appeared on the screen in the next second.
“How did you tell her? Repeat it to me.” Anything else can be slowed down, but their cohabitation can not be delayed at all.
Nie Zhen’er relayed to Luan Qing Xiao about the conversation between herself and Cheng Tong, “I really don’t know how to convince her.”
Luan Qing Xiao pondered for a moment, “Leave this to me, you don’t need to mention it to Tong jie again.”
Two days later, Cheng Tong received a call from her boss, saying that the company had arranged a better apartment for Nie Zhen’er and ordered Nie Zhen’er to move in as soon as possible.
Cheng Tong: “… …”
