After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 7

Inside the study, Li Sheng stared at the real-life photo of the male lead, Ji Ruodong, that she had found online, carefully recalling the time point when she had transmigrated back then. At that time, she had just received the examination report at the hospital, and after learning that this was a novel, she had chosen to leave.

But now, the child was looking more and more like the female lead, with almost no similarities to the male lead, Ji Ruodong, at all. If this had happened in the real world, Li Sheng might have thought it was a coincidence, but now she clearly knew that she was inside a novel.

Coincidences here were often deliberately arranged. Could there be some hidden truth in this that she did not know about?

In the novel, after Ji Ruodong discussed a partnership with the mayor, he returned to the hotel where he was staying to rest, exhausted in both body and mind. It was there that he was schemed against by the vicious female supporting character, Li Sheng. After one night of spring passion, the female supporting character, Li Sheng, became pregnant with the male lead Ji Ruodong’s child. Afterward, she used her pregnancy to cling to Ji Ruodong and demand that he break off his engagement with his fiancée and marry her.

But Ji Ruodong, this domineering CEO, was a playboy by nature. He already had a wealthy young lady as his fiancée at home, and secretly, he had also encountered the popular actress Mo Yueshuang. It was only because Mo Yueshuang looked very similar to his first love, his white moonlight, that Ji Ruodong proposed that Mo Yueshuang enter a contractual relationship with him.

At first, Mo Yueshuang refused. Ji Ruodong then activated the golden finger of a domineering CEO, pressuring Mo Yueshuang from both the entertainment industry and her family, until Mo Yueshuang could no longer bear it and chose to compromise.

Ji Ruodong understood his own identity. Since childhood, he had known that he was not worthy of love, and that his marriage was a transaction. But after meeting the female lead, Mo Yueshuang, their love-hate relationship made him develop true feelings.

After that, Ji Ruodong tried every possible method to cancel his engagement with his fiancée, overcoming all objections to marry Mo Yueshuang.

Ji Ruodong’s fiancée was a gentle and soft-spoken beauty. When Ji Ruodong proposed breaking off the engagement, she did not cry or make a scene. Instead, she smiled and gave them her blessing.

Originally, the plot should have reached a perfect ending here. But unfortunately, the vicious female supporting character, Li Sheng, had to jump out and stir up trouble. She even used the child as leverage, demanding that Ji Ruodong marry her and that Mo Yueshuang’s reputation be ruined so she would leave the entertainment industry forever and withdraw from their lives.

How could the domineering CEO Ji Ruodong, who was about to become a winner in life, agree to such a brainless demand? In his fury, he secretly made moves to snatch the child away, drove Li Sheng insane, and took advantage of the accidental deaths of the two elders of the Li family. With Li Sheng, the heir, also gone mad, Ji Ruodong took over the Li family in one move and became the richest man in Hua Country.

Li Sheng had no good feelings toward this male lead. He put on the persona of a devoted man who could not forget his white moonlight, yet left romantic debts everywhere. Later, he abandoned his fiancée and married Mo Yueshuang. If this kind of person were not the male lead of a domineering CEO novel, he would simply be a living, breathing scumbag.

Li Sheng thought that she might have to find a time to meet Ji Ruodong. It would be even better if she could verify the relationship between Ranran and Ji Ruodong.

She did not hope that Ranran had a father like Ji Ruodong. Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.

…

At the same moment, Li Sheng was not the only one feeling irritated because of Ji Ruodong. There was also Mo Yueshuang, who had been pestered by Ji Ruodong for a long time.

Not long after Mo Yueshuang returned home, Ji Ruodong’s assistant knocked on her door.

“Miss Mo, you should know our president’s strength. Do you think that by getting this drama, you’ll be able to step onto the international stage and raise your value? You’re wrong. In this entertainment industry controlled by capital, whether you can be chosen or not is only a matter of one sentence from our boss.”

“You can consider signing this agreement. That way, I can also report back to the president earlier with an answer that satisfies him.”

“Special Assistant Wang, I believe I have already made myself very clear. I will not sign this agreement, nor is it possible for me to sign it.”

Special Assistant Wang looked at her and sighed helplessly. “Why be so stubborn? Your brother is still locked up at the station because of drunk driving, causing an accident, and fleeing the scene. Whether he can be saved depends entirely on our President Ji. At a time like this, how have you still not learned to lower your head and soften your stance?”

“Special Assistant Wang, it is already very late. I should rest. Please leave.”

The moment that brother was mentioned, Mo Yueshuang’s gaze instantly turned cold.

Special Assistant Wang left, but that agreement was left behind. Mo Yueshuang picked it up and looked through it a few times, then tore it to pieces and threw it into the trash can.

She should have thought of it earlier. Even if Da Yi Entertainment was ruthless, they would not be stupid enough to stir up all these tricks while her contract was still valid.

She had long heard about Ji Ruodong’s methods of finding lovers. However, back then, she had only treated it as gossip after hearing it. She had not expected that a few months ago, this piece of gossip would find its way to her.

It was said that it was because her back view looked very similar to Ji Ruodong’s deceased first love. As for the lovers Ji Ruodong had found in the past, each of them had more or less had some similarity to his first love.

Coldness rose in Mo Yueshuang’s eyes. She laughed mockingly at herself. This kind of honor was not something just anyone could bear.

Speaking of resemblance, the image of Ranran suddenly appeared in Mo Yueshuang’s mind. That little one’s brows and eyes did look somewhat similar to hers.

Thinking of Ranran made her think of Li Sheng again, and immediately after that, the image in her mind became that family of three.

Mo Yueshuang sat alone in the spacious room. The furniture and decorations here were exquisite and luxurious. This was the residence the company had arranged for her a few years ago. Everything here was good. The only thing missing was a warm, human atmosphere.

It had been a long time since she had felt loneliness. If not for the faint sourness in her heart tonight, Mo Yueshuang might have mistakenly thought that she would never feel lonely again.

However, judging from Special Assistant Wang’s words, as long as she did not sign the contract, her brother would not be saved, and she would not be chosen by the production team either.

Mo Yueshuang did not expect a miracle to appear. She knew the result under the manipulation of capital. Since Special Assistant Wang had said that if she did not relent, she would not be chosen, then this drama was probably not meant for her.

But surprises always came unexpectedly, making people laugh out loud when they were caught off guard.

At dawn one week later, Chen Yue called her. She was so cheerful that her laughter did not stop as she said, “Boss, Boss! You were chosen! Director Wen personally sent the message, inviting you to sign the contract tomorrow morning at Yutian Banquet.”

“Boss! You’re about to step onto the international stage!”

Chen Yue was so excited that her laughter turned into a quacking duck sound. Mo Yueshuang’s mind, still somewhat dazed from sleep, finally cleared a little. She was happy for a few seconds, but then her heart sank again. “Do you know what happened?”

“What do you mean, what happened? Boss, your acting is good, and your temperament fits too. This role is practically tailor-made for you. If they don’t choose you, who would they choose?”

Mo Yueshuang realized that Chen Yue still did not know she had been targeted by Ji Ruodong, and even more so did not know that Special Assistant Wang had come to “threaten” her a few days ago.

“All right, I understand. Don’t just focus on being happy. Rest well. Tomorrow, you still need to be energetic when we go sign the contract.”

“Yes, Boss!”

Chen Yue had originally been an assistant assigned to her by the company. Later, Chen Yue’s mother back in her hometown became seriously ill, and she had to request a long leave to go back and take care of her. The manager reported it to the higher-ups, and Chen Yue was dismissed.

Chen Yue lost her job, her mother was seriously ill, and there was still a large shortage in medical fees. For several days, she was in a daze and nearly collapsed.

At that time, Mo Yueshuang approved of Chen Yue’s work attitude, and also sympathized with how Chen Yue had to carry such a heavy burden at such a young age. So she lent her a sum of money and told Chen Yue to go back and properly take care of her mother first. Once things at home were handled, Chen Yue could come find her again. At that time, Mo Yueshuang would hire her as a personal assistant.

Chen Yue went back for half a year. Only after her mother’s illness had completely healed did she return to this city and nervously dial the phone number of the big star Mo Yueshuang.

She had originally thought that Mo Yueshuang would have forgotten her. In the end, Mo Yueshuang only heard her voice and called out her name, even asking about her mother’s condition.

Chen Yue was endlessly grateful, and from then on, she had stayed by Mo Yueshuang’s side.

Chen Yue hung up the phone, but Mo Yueshuang could no longer fall asleep no matter what.

Why had the production crew suddenly chosen her? Had Ji Ruodong’s side relented?

Mo Yueshuang lay on the bed, the chaotic thoughts in her mind disturbing her so much that she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Only when the alarm rang did Mo Yueshuang drag her exhausted body out of bed.

She had just finished washing up when Chen Yue hurried over.

Yutian Banquet was a restaurant jointly opened by two celebrities in the circle. It had high privacy, and the staff had all signed confidentiality agreements. Therefore, most private gatherings and dates in the circle were held here.

Some business and political collaborations also liked to be discussed here. Over time, because of the status of the guests who came, Yutian Banquet’s value rose along with the tide, and its backing grew increasingly deep.

Mo Yueshuang’s car had just stopped when, through the car window, she saw the person she least wanted to see in her life get out of a car one step ahead of her and enter the courtyard gate of Yutian Banquet.

Ji Ruodong had come today to discuss a partnership. He had spent half a month negotiating with the other party before finally getting this opportunity. He had ambition and real ability, and he knew that he had not yet reached the peak, so he had arrived half an hour early.

Mo Yueshuang, however, mistakenly thought that the main reason she had been signed by the production team was still because of Ji Ruodong. She was afraid that if she went in later, Ji Ruodong would entangle her and cause embarrassment.

But she had already come, and the opportunity was right in front of her. Whether it was fortune or disaster, she had to make the trip. In the entertainment industry, aside from one’s own strength, luck was also one of the important reasons for victory.

Mo Yueshuang arrived at the private room Director Wen had arranged. When she saw Director Wen with dark circles under his eyes, messy oily hair, a shiny face, and a scruffy beard, if Director Wen had not still been wearing the same outfit she had seen him wear on the audition day, then just based on Director Wen’s current sharp-edged artist appearance, Mo Yueshuang might have mistakenly thought she had gone to the wrong place and found the wrong person.

Director Wen personally watched Mo Yueshuang read the contract. Only after Mo Yueshuang had read through the contract and found no traps or unfavorable clauses did she take the pen and firmly sign her name.

Seeing that the contract had been signed, Director Wen picked it up and carefully put it away. Then he collapsed like a deflated ball against the genuine leather and solid wood grandmaster chair. “Good, good. It’s finally done. I can finally have a good sleep now.”

After hesitating, Mo Yueshuang still asked, “Director Wen, did something happen?”

“It was more than just something happening. Our drama almost went down the drain.” The moment Wen Tingzong mentioned this, anger surged up. “After you left that day, we received three phone calls. Your employer, Da Yi Entertainment; our F Province’s big moneybags, Second Young Master Guan; and someone from the higher-up regulators. You’re really capable. So many people were watching you.”

Mo Yueshuang opened her mouth, but her apology stuck in her throat and could not come out for a while.

Wen Tingzong was a straightforward person. He was simply somewhat stubborn when it came to the art of film. He poured himself a cup of tea and gulped down more than half the cup before saying comfortably, “I know that in this circle, people often can’t control themselves. I don’t really know what kind of person you are, but after you left that day, Screenwriter Li threw down her words. She said that for the female lead of this drama, it had to be you. If it wasn’t you, then no matter who it was, she wouldn’t authorize it. When the fire was already burning my eyebrows and there was no other way, I thickened my old face and went to find that old stubborn ox Yan.”

The “old stubborn ox Yan” Wen Tingzong spoke of was Director Yan Bo, the director who had brought Mo Yueshuang into the circle to act back then. This famous director’s wife had passed away from illness three years ago. In his grief, he pushed away all work and temporarily withdrew from the circle.

This big shot in the director circle was Wen Tingzong’s senior brother, one cycle older than him. Back then, Wen Tingzong’s graduation work had been helped by Yan Bo, but problems occurred with the casting and release, and Wen Tingzong and Yan Bo had completely fallen out.

But this time, in order to sign Mo Yueshuang, Wen Tingzong put aside past matters, carried gifts, and went to find this stubborn senior brother.

It was also because of him that those money-grubbing bastards above, who did not do proper work, were settled within seven days.

There was no need to care about Da Yi’s side. A small entertainment management company was not enough to scare him.

The difficult part was Second Young Master Guan’s side. Wen Tingzong contacted everyone he could contact, and even went to talk to people he could not contact with the attitude of giving it a try. Finally, yesterday afternoon, he managed to arrange a meeting with Second Young Master Guan.

Second Young Master Guan’s side said that he himself had no opinion about Mo Yueshuang. It was just that his little lover could not stand seeing Mo Yueshuang storm into the center position as soon as she debuted. He had only deliberately caused trouble in order to make his beauty smile.

If Director Wen was willing to bleed a little and make his little darling happy, then he could also agree not to interfere in Mo Yueshuang’s matter.

Wen Tingzong said he would have his beloved disciple personally create a drama tailor-made for Second Young Master Guan’s little lover, and would plan two films around her.

Between causing trouble for Mo Yueshuang and obtaining one popular drama and two films for herself, Dong Wenjun chose the latter.

And so, once the week was up, after going around in circles, Mo Yueshuang once again became the female lead of the drama Di Xue.

“Director Wen, you’ve worked hard.” Mo Yueshuang stood up and bowed to him. “Thank you very much.”

“You should thank me, but you should also thank Screenwriter Li. In the end, when the people from above came to negotiate, if Screenwriter Li had not refused to back down and even praised you to the skies on the spot, how could this matter have been settled so easily?”
