I Became the White Moonlight’s Ex-Wife (GL) - Chapter 6
“Fake news, reporting!”
“My thoughts? This editor needs to get a brain. Wen Su’s acting is bad, but there’s no way she would play a supporting role, let alone cross-dress. Wake up!”
“I was worried Wen Su would ruin the show at first, but then I used my brain and breathed a sigh of relief.”
“Hahahahaha, relief +1. This news is too fake.”
“I reported this Weibo post the moment I saw it. Why hasn’t it been taken down yet? Weibo is doomed.”
“I just shared this with my roommate, and she immediately scolded the editor for being brainless. Who wrote this Weibo post? I suggest the studio fire them.”
“This is real. My friend is an assistant to one of the actors. Wen Su is going to play two roles, and Zhaoyang even had to change the script just for her. But it’s normal for you not to believe it. Even the actors are saying Zhaoyang must have been acquired by Wanyuan.”
“Why don’t you say my friend’s sister’s neighbor’s niece is Wen Su’s assistant? People just make up connections now. This fake news isn’t fun.”
“I knew no one would believe me. But I’m saying it now. You’ll see for yourselves. If Wen Su isn’t in it, I’ll live-stream eating a keyboard.”
“ID saved! Waiting for you to live-stream eating a keyboard!”
“Hahaha, live-streaming eating a keyboard? If Wen Su really is in it, I’ll even eat my laptop.”
The logical netizens and the funny ones all refused to believe the news. It was simple: they disliked Wen Su, but there was no way she would play a supporting role to Shen Manhui. To be blunt, Shen Manhui would be more likely to play a supporting role for Wen Su, because Wen Su represented top-tier fame, and her commercial value was far beyond Shen Manhui’s.
After seeing the news, some fans asked the author, Hai Putao, on her Weibo, but she didn’t respond. The production crew of Chronicles of Yunling didn’t give any explanation, and neither did the lead actors.
The Weibo post, which was considered fake news, was never deleted. People complained that “Weibo is doomed” before moving on to the next trending topic.
Wen Su was completely unaware of the online debates. After Chu Jingshu finished eating, she packed up the containers, and Wen Su headed back to the villa with the tote bag.
Her father had specially prepared a dessert for her sister, Chu Jingtong, but Wen Su knew that if she were the one to give it to her, Chu Jingtong wouldn’t accept it. So, she asked Auntie Zhang to take the dessert to her sister instead.
After giving the dessert to Auntie Zhang, Wen Su buried herself in the study to focus on the script.
What she didn’t know was that after #WenSuCrossDressesAsTheYoungLord# made it to the trending list, another related topic appeared.
#WenSuBringsFoodToHerWife#
If Wen Su saw this, she would probably be furious. She couldn’t believe that bringing food could be a trending topic. No wonder people hated her.
Just because Wen Su didn’t see it didn’t mean others didn’t. For instance, Chu Jingshu, who finally got a moment to breathe and saw Wen Su was trending and clicked on it. Chu Jingtong, who was happily scrolling through Weibo after eating her dessert. And the Wen family, who always kept an eye on them.
These kinds of trending topics were usually a collaboration between the company and Weibo; otherwise, something like this shouldn’t be trending.
The comments below were filled with paid commenters praising Wen Su for loving her wife, saying they were a low-key couple who lived their quiet lives, and that they were sweet and warm.
The ability to lie through their teeth was so good that her father, Shen Baichuan, believed it and even liked the top comment.
After all, who wouldn’t want their daughter to have a happy and fulfilling marriage?
…
“Knock, knock—”
Wen Su, who was concentrating on her character analysis, looked up and realized her neck was incredibly sore. Before she could say “come in,” the study door opened a crack, revealing a short figure.
It must be her sister, Chu Jingtong.
The next second, a voice filled with impatience confirmed her guess:
“Dinner.”
After that, the figure in the doorway left.
Wen Su: …
The girl’s dislike was too obvious. If it were the original owner…
Never mind. The original owner never bothered with people who provoked her, much less a middle schooler.
Wen Su stretched, massaged her sore neck and shoulders, and glanced at the time.
It was already seven o’clock. The study had such good lighting that she hadn’t even noticed how late it was.
After saving her notes, Wen Su left the study and went downstairs to eat.
Unexpectedly, she only saw Auntie Zhang and Chu Jingtong. Chu Jingshu was nowhere to be found.
Was she still at the company?
Just as she was thinking about Chu Jingshu, Wen Su saw her coming out of the kitchen with a plate of food.
Wen Su’s gaze stayed on Chu Jingshu for two seconds before shifting to the plate—
It was a plate of sliced roast duck. It looked delicious.
Chu Jingshu smiled and said, “A new roast duck restaurant opened near the office. I heard it’s good, so I brought one back for us to try. Don’t you need to gain weight?”
Wen Su felt relieved. Her impression of Chu Jingshu was getting better and better. This woman was truly beautiful and kind!
Unlike Auntie Zhang, who fed her like a sheep.
She kept a poker face, but inside she was overjoyed. Wen Su sat down at the dining table and responded faintly, “Okay.”
Chu Jingtong, who was digging into her food, secretly rolled her eyes. This person was as annoying as ever. She wouldn’t live with her if it weren’t for her sister.
The dinner was quiet. Wen Su finished her meal, saved by the delicious roast duck.
Chu Jingshu, who had been quietly observing her while eating, finally came to a conclusion—
Wen Su didn’t need to gain weight; she just liked to eat meat. Her expressions were not of someone being forced to eat something they didn’t like.
Even though her face was expressionless no matter what she ate, Chu Jingshu was certain that Wen Su’s taste had changed, and it had changed completely.
This conclusion was a little hard for Chu Jingshu to understand, but she quickly let it go. It wasn’t that big of a change. Besides, she had plenty of work to worry about.
After accepting the roast duck from Chu Jingshu, Wen Su felt like she should do something to thank this kind and beautiful woman. After a moment of thought, she said to Chu Jingshu, “Don’t worry too much about work. Things will get better.”
Wen Su was both encouraging her and telling her a fact.
In the original story, Chu Jingshu managed to get the company back on track even in such a terrible situation. Now, since there was no divorce, Chu Jingshu’s opponents would be restricted in their actions. It was only a matter of time before Chu Jingshu regained full control of the company.
Her tone was so certain and casual that even Chu Jingtong, who couldn’t stand her, was a little impressed.
Hearing Wen Su say this so suddenly, Chu Jingshu froze for a second. She couldn’t decide whether Wen Su was expressing her family’s support or just simply comforting her.
If it were the latter, she didn’t think Wen Su’s personality was one to comfort others. If it was the former, there was no need for Wen Su to say it, as her decision not to divorce at this time already showed her support.
Chu Jingshu mulled over a simple sentence for a long time. If Wen Su knew, she would regret talking too much. She had meant to tell her to rest, but instead, she just made her think more.
With a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, Chu Jingshu maintained a gentle smile. “Thank you.”
Hearing this, Wen Su didn’t know what else to say. She pushed her bowl and chopsticks forward, got up, and went back upstairs to work.
Compared to small talk, she felt it was more important to work on her role.
….
A few days later, Wen Su began her rigorous pre-filming training. In the mornings, she had etiquette training with the female actors, and in the afternoons, she had martial arts training with the male actors. Fortunately, she had undergone similar etiquette training while filming historical dramas in her previous life, so she picked it up quickly.
Even when facing strangers, Wen Su kept the original owner’s signature cold expression. Even when Shen Manhui came over to greet her, her response was lukewarm.
She knew she had already caught Shen Manhui’s attention, so she might as well act like she knew nothing and just do what she had to do.
Although Wen Su was cool and aloof, she would respond whenever someone greeted her. Everyone didn’t find her difficult to get along with, especially after they saw her train so hard and learn so quickly. They were all impressed with her.
As for the online rumors about Wen Su being in Chronicles of Yunling, they died down within a few days since no one from the production crew or cast came out to confirm or deny it. But just as the topic dropped off the trending list, the production team posted a new Weibo message—
“@ChroniclesofYunlingOfficial: In the sweltering heat, our actors are training hard. Watch General Qi @ActorZhaoHean perform a backflip for everyone.”
The Weibo post included three animated images from different angles.
At first, everyone was focused on Zhao He’an’s skillful and handsome moves, but soon, some sharp-eyed netizens spotted a familiar profile in the background.
“Holy crap, isn’t that Wen Su in the second picture, fourth from the left?”
“I think I saw Wen Su. Am I seeing things?”
“As much as I want to say you’re wrong, Wen Su’s face is too recognizable. That’s definitely Wen Su [Image].”
“I couldn’t find Wen Su for the longest time, but thanks to the kind person who took the screenshot, I have to say your eyesight is amazing. She moved so fast, and you could still make her out.”
“It really is Wen Su! Is she really cross-dressing as the young lord?”
“Why am I focused on the fact that Wen Su is also training? Is my focus too weird?”
“The person above me is right. I suspect they’re about to start promoting Wen Su as dedicated, serious, and hard-working.”
“It’s really Wen Su. Wen Su has a very distinct look. That person is definitely Wen Su.”
“Wen Su is really going to be in Chronicles of Yunling. I bet Zhaoyang was acquired by Wen Su.”
“With Wen Su’s status, there’s no way she would play a supporting role. Maybe she stole the female lead role from Shen Manhui.”
“I think you guys are missing the point. Isn’t the main character of the Weibo post Brother Zhao? /sad”
“My heart hurts for Brother Zhao. He’s the star of the post, but no one is paying attention.”
The netizens’ discovery immediately sent the Weibo post to the top of the trending list, and it was even given two new hashtags—
#ZhaoyangAllegedlyAcquired#
#WenSuMightBeTheChroniclesFemaleLead#
This was essentially telling all netizens that Wen Su had acquired Zhaoyang Pictures and had stolen the female lead role from Shen Manhui in Chronicles of Yunling.
The two of them were already very popular, and these new trending topics immediately sparked a heated debate among netizens.
