After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 20

The backstage area at Mango TV’s recording studio was in complete chaos. Originally, the people scheduled to come today for promotion were the female lead of Phoenix Reigns and a few supporting actors. The male lead had a high status in the industry and a tightly packed schedule, so he had rejected the program team’s invitation early on.

But today, they received a last-minute notice that the male lead, Guan Anru, planned to come.

Being able to gather both the male and female leads naturally made the production crew happy, but Mango TV was somewhat too busy to handle it. Even so, they did not dare complain.

Among the four famous great families of F Province, the Guan family ranked second, and Guan Anru was the eldest grandson of the Guan family, the future head of the Guan family.

Few people in the business world dared provoke him, and it was the same after he entered the entertainment industry. All major powers held him up carefully.

Rumor had it that this young master was obsessed with acting. He was not tempted by his family’s hundreds of billions in assets and insisted on coming to the entertainment industry to experience life. He had money and power, and his appearance was also good. Yet his acting skills just so happened to be excellent too.

Last year, when he worked with Mo Yueshuang on Phoenix Reigns, there had even been rumors that Mo Yueshuang was trying to climb onto a powerful connection and wanted to use Guan Anru’s bed to rise to the top in one step. But that gossip had only appeared for one night before it was suppressed.

Now, Mo Yueshuang had been smeared black as honeycomb coal briquette a few days ago, yet by dawn today, the direction of public opinion had changed. And Young Master Guan, who had said last year that he had no time to participate in the variety show, had actually come to the scene personally today.

The reason behind this inevitably invited speculation.

Mo Yueshuang’s impression of Guan Anru was still quite good. He was gentle as a person, and when filming, he did not put on airs with the production crew. He would also challenge and complete some difficult scenes. He was like what was written in books: a gentleman as refined as jade, unparalleled in the world.

When someone like him played the role of an aristocratic young master, it was truly a performance in his own true colors.

…

Li Sheng took a phone call while bringing Ranran around the amusement park. Li Sheng rubbed the space between her brows, somewhat tired.

Li Sheng said, “This time, it’s thanks to you. When are you free? I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Don’t rush to treat me. To be honest, if I hadn’t come out to start my own business and was still relying on the old man’s face at home, there’s no way those media outlets wouldn’t have given me face. But when I came out to establish myself, the old man said he wouldn’t care about me, and he really didn’t care about me. I sent people to negotiate with those media outlets, but it didn’t work.”

“My company hasn’t been established for long, and not many people in the industry know about our Jiawei Media Entertainment. This really wasn’t done by me.”

“There was someone else?” Li Sheng was somewhat curious. She knew Chen Yue’s ability. Getting those media outlets handled in such a short time would have been far too challenging for her.

Yu Jiawei said, “I asked around. The news came from the Guan family’s side. They intervened and handled it.”

So it was the Guan family. No wonder it had been handled so quickly. The apology statements had been written with such sincerity, and those media outlets that had been so arrogant before were now tucking their tails between their legs and tearfully saying they knew they were wrong.

Mo Yueshuang’s matter had calmed down, but Li Sheng’s mood gradually became somewhat displeased. Ever since she began suspecting that Mo Yueshuang was Ranran’s mother, Li Sheng’s view of Mo Yueshuang had become different.

Her daughter’s mama had gotten into trouble, yet someone had actually rushed ahead of her and settled the matter first.

“Li Sheng, why have you started paying attention to that female celebrity’s matters? Although the circle is messy and some news can’t be trusted, many things also don’t come from nowhere. If you suddenly want to try something fresh, I can introduce you to some obedient, well-behaved, sensible ones. As for Mo Yueshuang’s muddy waters, we should stay out of them as much as possible. After all, you’ve left home now, and I’ve also come out to struggle independently. We can’t compare to the Guan family’s beloved treasure, Guan Anru.”

Yu Jiawei imagined a complicated emotional war between Li Sheng and Guan Anru fighting over a female celebrity. The circle really was messy. Back then, rumors in the circle had also spread wildly that the Li family’s young lady and the Guan family’s eldest young master were going to get engaged. Then Ji Ruodong suddenly appeared, and immediately after that, Chi Yunman was pulled into it as well. She had thought the four of them would love and hate each other to death, and that the four great families would change. Who would have thought that five years later, Guan Anru and Li Sheng, these two rumored parties, would clash because of a female celebrity? And rumor even said that this female celebrity was Young Master Ji’s lover.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. This circle was really messy.

“If the old man knew you started a business in the entertainment industry just to become a pimp, he might get so angry that he’d fly back from overseas overnight to beat you.”

“Hai! Li Sheng, this sister is doing this for your own good. Why are you so tactless?”

“What? Do you want to sell me out to the old man?”

“Turn on video chat on your phone. I’ll show you the suffering I’ve endured these past few days. I’ll show you the dark circles I got from staying up late to help that female celebrity of yours suppress the black material. I’ll show you my haggard face from being busy for days helping that female celebrity of yours. Turn it on. I’ll show you!”

Li Sheng could not help smiling. “All right. I should take Ranran to lunch now. I’m hanging up.”

Yu Jiawei had gone abroad to study a few years ago and met Li Sheng there. Although the Yu family was also part of the upper-class wealthy families in F Province, they could not compare to the four great families. When Yu Jiawei saw Li Sheng, she only felt that she looked familiar and did not recognize her as the Li family’s young lady. Later, Yu Jiawei ran into some trouble, and out of consideration for them both being fellow Hua Country people, Li Sheng was the first to step forward and help her. Yu Jiawei stuck to Li Sheng for a long time, and during breaks, she even helped Li Sheng take care of the child. After going back and forth like that, the two of them became familiar with each other.

Yu Jiawei liked women while overseas and even got a girlfriend. After the old man found out, he had her tied up and brought back overnight.

In the end, not long after Yu Jiawei returned to the country, news came from within the country that a draft proposal to legalize same-sex marriage had appeared. From internal information, they learned that this proposal was actually already basically decided. The news was only being released at this time so the public could gradually accept it.

Yu Jiawei had only stayed in the little dark room for a few days before she was let out. Then, at a gathering, she saw one of “Li Sheng’s” former plastic sisters. After seeing Li Sheng’s youthful photos from back then, she finally realized that overseas, she had hugged the thigh of the domestic richest family’s young lady. That very night, she called to interrogate Li Sheng. Li Sheng did not speak, but Guan Tai, who was beside her, confirmed it.

Clearly, only two years had passed, yet it felt as if half a lifetime had gone by. The Yu family acknowledged Yu Jiawei’s sexual orientation, but even if they acknowledged it, she was still a wealthy family’s young lady. Her marriage could not be decided by herself; everything depended on the family’s arrangements.

In a fit of anger, Yu Jiawei chose to leave home and start her own business independently. Yu Jiawei’s parents did not agree, but Old Master Yu doted on his granddaughter and gave her a sum of money to go make her own way. However, he only gave her five years. After five years, unless her business could contend with the Yu family, she would still have to obediently return and wait for an arranged marriage alliance.

Yu Jiawei did not let go of this one chance. Not long after returning to the country, she founded this media company. Guan Tai worked at her company.

After Li Sheng hung up, she received a short video on WeChat.

Yu Jiawei had sent it. In the video, she sat in her office and pointed at her own face with her finger. “Li Sheng, look! Look how exhausted I am from being busy!”

Li Sheng glanced at it. She did indeed look somewhat tired.

Director Wen’s production crew had already finished casting, and the filming schedule had also been set.

The opening ceremony would be held on September 5, and filming would officially begin afterward.

Ranran happened to start kindergarten on September 3. After Li Sheng settled Ranran’s arrangements, Bai Jing called and told her that the parentage test results were already out.

Li Sheng rushed to the hospital without stopping. Bai Jing handed her the results. It was still working hours, and although Bai Jing very much wanted to know the gossip behind this result, Li Sheng clearly had no intention of saying anything, so she did not probe too much.

Li Sheng sat in the car and took several deep breaths before opening the report. The results showed that Mo Yueshuang was Ranran’s mother, while Ji Ruodong had nothing to do with Ranran.

Li Sheng stared blankly at the report results. After a long while, she rummaged through her bag and took out another parentage test. This was the one she had done at another institution back then because she had not felt at ease. The result had come out yesterday. The tested parties were her and Ranran, and the result showed that Ranran was indeed her biological daughter.

“I have a child with Mo Yueshuang.”

Author’s Note:

Li Sheng: This is way too damn thrilling. I actually had a baby with a woman. Judging from this situation, it seems like I’m even the bottom in bed.
