After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 3

Following behind Assistant Jin, Gu Nan very easily figured out which car was hers.

That was because Assistant Jin had already opened the rear car door for her, making it convenient for Gu Nan to put Shen Zhibei into the back seat, while he himself got into the driver’s seat.

Assistant Jin really was a good assistant. Perfect, since she did not know where her home was either.

Gu Nan carefully placed Shen Zhibei in the back seat, then opened the front passenger door and got in.

She did not dare sit in the back seat with Shen Zhibei.

Because everything that had happened before was telling her that staying farther away from Shen Zhibei was the best way to take care of her.

Watching the buildings outside the car window recede, Shen Zhibei bit her lip and looked at Gu Nan.

“Can I call my manager?”

“Of course.” Gu Nan looked back at Shen Zhibei strangely. “You don’t need to ask me about something like that. You can call whoever you want.”

Shen Zhibei endured it again and again, but in the end, she still could not hold back her sarcasm.

She took out her phone from her pants pocket. It had been smashed into a tragic state and could no longer be turned on. She let Gu Nan see it for herself.

“Wasn’t my phone smashed into this state by you?”

“?” Gu Nan was confused at first, then recalled those scattered fragments of images.

It seemed… there really had been such a scene.

At that time, Shen Zhibei had still had some rationality left and wanted to make a phone call for help. In the end, the original owner had discovered it, snatched her phone, and smashed it against the wall.

Gu Nan felt awkward. So this was another sin committed by the original owner.

She quickly took out her own phone and handed it to Shen Zhibei.

Then she saw the tragic state of her own phone.

Even at a moment like this, Gu Nan could not help thinking:

These two phones really were a perfect match. Within a single day, both had been thrown against the wall, and both had their screens shattered into eighteen pieces. The only difference was that one could still be turned on and barely used, while the other was completely scrapped.

Afraid that Gu Nan would change her mind, Shen Zhibei hurriedly took the broken phone and quickly dialed a number.

The call was soon answered on the other end.

“Hello, Sister Yan.”

“Zhibei!” The moment Ding Ziyan heard Shen Zhibei’s voice, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. “Are you all right? Where are you now? Thank goodness, you finally called me. I searched everywhere and couldn’t find you. I couldn’t get through to your phone either. I was so anxious I almost called the police.”

If not for the special nature of Shen Zhibei’s identity as an artist, Ding Ziyan would have called the police long ago. There was no way she would have waited until now.

“Sister Yan.” Shen Zhibei, who had been in a constant state of fear and anxiety, finally could no longer keep her emotions steady when she heard the voice of the manager who had always cared about her.

She quickly closed her eyes and tilted her head up, forcing herself not to let her tears fall.

Ding Ziyan had followed Shen Zhibei since her debut. By now, it had already been sixteen years.

She easily heard the grievance contained in Shen Zhibei’s weak and hoarse voice when she called her.

Ding Ziyan, who had originally relaxed after finding her, immediately became anxious again. “Zhibei, what exactly happened to you?”

“I… I’m fine.” Shen Zhibei finally managed to calm herself down, then began speaking about the most important matters.

“Sister Yan, put the variety show and film we were going to sign on hold for now. Also, for the advertisement that’s supposed to be filmed, help me see if the shoot can be pushed back. I probably won’t be able to film recently.”

Hearing Shen Zhibei say this, Ding Ziyan became even more anxious. “What exactly happened to you? Tell Sister Yan!”

“I…” Shen Zhibei glanced at Gu Nan, not knowing how she should tell Ding Ziyan about this.

Seeing Shen Zhibei’s little movement through the rearview mirror, Gu Nan took the initiative to say, “Let Sister Yan come over and accompany you. Assistant Jin, send…”

Gu Nan paused. For a moment, she actually did not know how she should address Shen Zhibei.

Call her Senior Shen?

That was what the original owner had called her when she drugged her. If Gu Nan called her that again now, would it make her think of something again?

Call her Zhibei?

That was too intimate. Their relationship had not reached that point.

If there were a game-like favorability meter right now, the column between the two of them would probably show hatred.

Better to keep it ordinary and call her Miss Shen.

“Send Miss Shen’s manager a text message with my home address.”

Shen Zhibei’s manager, Ding Ziyan, not only supported Shen Zhibei’s divorce in the original book, but also stood up for her when the original owner abused and manipulated Shen Zhibei. She was one of the people by Shen Zhibei’s side who sincerely thought for her sake.

Because of that, she was hated by the original owner, who then had someone beat her until she was disabled.

This was also one of the reasons that later drove Shen Zhibei to dig out the original owner’s gland and stab her eighteen times.

“Understood,” Assistant Jin agreed.

Knowing that Sister Yan could come and accompany her, Shen Zhibei’s nerves, which had been tense all this time, relaxed slightly.

“Zhibei, who is beside you?” Ding Ziyan had vaguely heard another person’s voice and hurriedly asked.

Thinking that Sister Yan would see them anyway in a while, Shen Zhibei told the truth. “It’s Gu Nan, and her assistant.”

“What?” At this point, Ding Ziyan lowered her voice. “Did she provoke you? Bear with it for a bit. I’ll come pick you up later, then contact her manager and ask for some good resources for you.”

On one hand, Shen Zhibei understood that Sister Yan did not know exactly what had happened to her, which was why she was telling her to endure it for now. But on the other hand, she felt unbearably wronged.

Gu Nan was clearly human scum and a degenerate. Not only had she forcibly marked her, she had even taken… taken that kind of photo. Why did she have to endure someone like this?

Actually, Ding Ziyan could not be blamed for saying that.

Although she also knew Gu Nan’s reputation in the industry, at this point in time, Gu Nan’s reputation was still only at the level of relying on her family background to act tyrannically, having poor acting skills but still insisting on acting in big productions made by her own family’s company.

Most managers would tell their artists not to provoke her, or to flatter her appropriately. More unscrupulous managers would even have their artists deliberately try to create scandals with her.

Because if Gu Nan was the one who started trouble and their artist got bullied, they could complain pitifully to her manager afterward and still receive some good resources.

So the original owner’s reputation in the industry actually was not that bad. She even had an implicit nickname: the Wealth-Giving Child.

The original owner’s reputation only began to rapidly deteriorate after the matter of her drugging and forcibly marking Shen Zhibei was faintly leaked out.

Gu Nan looked at the aggrieved expression Shen Zhibei revealed in the rearview mirror, and with that faint scent of mint mixed in, her heart could not help but waver.

Shen Zhibei’s beauty was a grand, gorgeous kind of beauty. Her features were sharp yet charming, and her figure was full but still tall and well-proportioned.

She completely hit Gu Nan’s preferences. She really wanted to…

Shen Zhibei quickly noticed Gu Nan staring at her through the rearview mirror.

With Sister Yan on the phone with her, her courage returned a little. She immediately shot Gu Nan a vicious glare.

After being glared at, Gu Nan immediately realized that her state was not right. She took out the suppressant and sprayed herself harshly several times.

Once the suppressant was sprayed, Gu Nan immediately calmed down and stopped thinking about Shen Zhibei’s beauty.

Sure enough, it was all the pheromones’ fault.

The car was steadily driven by Assistant Jin into a villa district built like a garden estate, then stopped in front of an elegant-looking Chinese-style villa.

The first time Gu Nan saw this garden villa, she felt another wave of dizziness. Another scene she had never seen before appeared in her mind.

In the scene, it was Gu Nan’s life in this villa from childhood to adulthood.

Because she had suddenly received twenty-four years’ worth of fragments from the original owner’s life, even though it was not everything, Gu Nan’s head still throbbed painfully.

So these memories were triggered by specific things. Still, they had come just in time.

Although the novel had written about Gu Nan’s family circumstances, it had not written them in such detail. She had been worrying about what she should do afterward.

Through those scenes, Gu Nan learned that the original owner’s two mothers had only had Gu Nan, their precious daughter, very late in life. So they had pampered and spoiled her endlessly, never letting the original owner suffer even the slightest dissatisfaction. That was what had raised the original owner into such a personality.

However, aside from their different personalities, her living habits were actually highly similar to the original owner’s.

That was very strange.

Same name, same living habits too?

Gu Nan was still thinking when Assistant Jin had already gotten out of the car. After opening the front passenger door for Gu Nan, he also opened the rear car door.

However, he did not go support Shen Zhibei, and instead silently stepped aside.

Gu Nan pulled back her wandering thoughts.

She thought that the most important thing right now was to continue living properly in this world.

Rousing her spirits, Gu Nan got out of the car and went to support Shen Zhibei, who was struggling to move.

In front of the Gu family’s main gate, Shen Zhibei could not exactly refuse to give Gu Nan face. And relying on her own strength alone, it truly was very difficult for her to move. So she accepted Gu Nan’s help.

Just then, the door suddenly opened. The gentle Omega mother from Gu Nan’s memory walked out from inside and smiled at her.

“Baby, you’re back.”

Ba—baby?

Gu Nan froze. A sentence slipped out of her mouth.

“I’m already twenty-four years old, Mom. Don’t call me Baby anymore.”

“I know, I know.”

Yin Yuehua was long used to her daughter’s protests, so she answered perfunctorily.

In any case, she had agreed, but when the time came, she would still call her that.

Thinking this, her gaze turned toward Shen Zhibei, whom Assistant Jin had specifically called to mention before picking up Gu Nan.

“This must be Miss Shen.”

Feeling Yin Yuehua’s gaze, Shen Zhibei pursed her lips. “Hello, Madam Gu.”

“Hello.” At this moment, Yin Yuehua still did not know exactly what the original owner had done. Seeing Shen Zhibei’s pale and weak complexion, she immediately shot Gu Nan a reproachful look. “Baby, why aren’t you quickly helping Miss Shen inside to rest?”

Gu Nan was still terrified by the words that had just slipped out of her mouth. Hearing Yin Yuehua say this, she subconsciously relied on instinct to help Shen Zhibei into the house and sit down on the sofa.

At this moment, her face was so pale it could rival Shen Zhibei’s.

“Mom, let the doctor examine Miss Shen first. Also, have the kitchen make something light for her to eat. She not only hasn’t had breakfast, she didn’t even eat dinner last night.”

Yin Yuehua had originally been comforted that her daughter had finally learned how to care for someone, but when she saw Gu Nan’s face suddenly turn deathly pale as well, she said worriedly, “You should get checked too. Look how pale your face is.”

“Yes, yes.” Gu Nan said dazedly, “I should get checked too. I need a full-body examination.”

To check whether the original owner was still inside her body.

Otherwise, how could that sentence have slipped out so familiarly just now?
