My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 286 - 284: Cinderella’s Background

Qi Ming’s gentle voice, filled with inquiry, came from nearby, "What’s wrong? You suddenly went quiet."

"It’s nothing," Wen Shu made an excuse. "I’m just feeling sleepy after lunch."

Qi Ming withdrew his hand and hurriedly said, "Then take a nap, it will still be a while before we reach the Film and Television City."

"Okay."

Wen Shu closed her eyes, feeling the warmth on her hand slowly fade away.

In fact, according to the original storyline, she should be developing some special feelings for Qi Ming right now, but when she was with him, she felt no flutter in her heart.

Not a single bit.

For some reason, Wen Shu’s mind suddenly flashed with the image of Fu Jinghen, the man’s long fingers peeling shrimp, his posture casual and relaxed, his lips always bearing a faint smile, yet somehow giving off a sense of indifferent remoteness, as if without his permission, no one could possibly enter his domain.

She clearly saw the indulgent and doting smile in his eyes when he looked at Wen Qiao, as if he were looking at a treasure.

The only thing she could find online was the car accident that happened recently when she was being trailed by paparazzi on her way back to Jiang City, but in reality, before the shooting of "Ju Lian" started, her original self was a true Cinderella, coming from poor family conditions, and she entered the entertainment industry as a part-timer to afford her brother’s medical treatment.

As a newcomer with no connections and no experience, she had to fight for everything on her own.

Because she was forced to drink at a dinner party, and her alcohol tolerance was poor, she pushed herself to the limits to secure the role.

But her agent wasn’t with her, and when she called for a ride home, the driver had wicked intentions towards her original self. Remaining somewhat sober, she realized something was wrong and thought about jumping out of the car.

However, the car doors had already been locked, and her original self struggled to grab the steering wheel, causing the car to crash into a streetlight on the side of the road.

At that time, her career was already on the rise, and since it was the driver’s fault to begin with, her agent, fearing the scandal might get out and implicate the issue of accompanying investors for drinks to secure roles, which could affect her career, took matter into her own hands. After all, although accompanying investors for drinks is an open secret in the industry, it would cause a public outrage if it were exposed, given that outsiders, with their collective contempt, could end her ability to appear in public.

So, her agent settled things privately with the driver without consulting her.

They wouldn’t report the incident to the police or press charges, and it would be as if it never happened.

By the time Wen Shu woke up, her agent had already taken full control of the situation.

And the original Wen Shu had become the current Wen Shu.

Initially shocked to find herself transported into the body of the female lead from a book she had read, she quickly came to accept the reality.

Since there was no going back, she might as well make the best of her time here.

Wen Shu’s original self was inherently stubborn and unyielding. When her agent took her to a dinner party and then left, she immediately understood the situation.

So, she had always been maneuvering with the investors. When one of them tried to force himself on her, she grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it over his head, seizing the opportunity in the ensuing chaos to make her escape.

The chance at the role was definitely gone, and that investor later exposed the incident. Online opinion turned overwhelmingly against her immediately, and seeing this, her agent, who had more than one artist under her wing, decided to let her go.
