My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 65

At the moment, the scene at the Ink Guest House was very awkward. The guests, who were mostly fans, felt it was a bit too much. After all, Shen Le had only made things difficult for Yun Yue, but this was pouring coffee directly on Qi Youxuan’s face!

And the coffee was still hot!

But…

Who wasn’t secretly feeling a bit of satisfaction?

From the moment Qi Youxuan spoke that sentence this morning until now, only a few hours had passed. But the internet was in an uproar, and many talented people had emerged.

Someone had already compiled the entire history of Qi Youxuan and Yun Yue’s relationship. After analyzing it frame by frame, it was clear that Qi Youxuan was a real emotional con artist!

But what could she do? Her acting with her eyes was too powerful.

When Qi Youxuan and Yun Yue were first tied together as a couple, it was because of Qi Youxuan’s affectionate gaze and restrained love.

Who could resist that?

Qi Youxuan was at least 70% responsible for the birth of the “Wu Yu” couple.

Now you’re telling us it was all a calculated plan?

Yun Yue was too pathetic!

Oh my God! Not to mention Yun Yue feeling disgusted, even they, as fans, felt disgusted! Pouring a cup of coffee on her was simply acting on behalf of heaven!

Qi Youxuan wasn’t angry. She wiped the coffee from her face and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, let me get you a new one.”

“What a joke. I only want my own cup.” These were the same words Shen Le had said back then. It was as if everything had come full circle.

The embarrassment and pain Yun Yue had endured were now playing out on Qi Youxuan.

Qi Youxuan looked down at her clothes, which were soaked and stained with coffee, but she still wasn’t angry. She even laughed, touched her head, and said, “Okay, how about this? I’ll make you another cup, and it’s on the house. Consider it a gift to a guest.”

[I’m impressed. Truly a person who can achieve great things doesn’t get hung up on minor details!]

[Hahaha, she’s so good at holding it in. No wonder she could do such a thing.]

[She’s still holding it in now? Is she trying to leave a good impression on the show? Doesn’t she know how much she’s being scolded online?]

Yun Yue watched from a distance. The fan in front of Qi Youxuan probably saw Yun Yue as well. In the end, this fan couldn’t be as shameless as Shen Le and could only agree.

The matter was settled.

With all the trending topics, The Guesthouse’s live viewership had already exceeded 10 million.

A large number of people were there specifically to see Qi Youxuan.

Seeing that the other person wasn’t going to cause any more trouble, Qi Youxuan even thanked her politely.

“Thank you. I’ll go and make a new cup of coffee for you now.” With that, Qi Youxuan turned to leave. The fan, who was a “bad guy” for the first time, felt a little embarrassed now that the passion had passed.

Sure enough, a person who is too kind is more concerned when they do something bad.

Qi Youxuan walked to the coffee bar, about to start, but Qiu Mingyi held her hand.

Qi Youxuan was stunned. She turned to look at Qiu Mingyi, feeling a pang of bitterness.

Qiu Mingyi looked at her and smiled reassuringly. “Youxuan, go change your clothes first. I’ll take care of this and bring it to her.”

When Qi Youxuan heard his concerned words, she froze. She stared blankly at Qiu Mingyi and smiled. “Okay, thank you, Senior Qiu.”

With that, she turned and walked toward the stairs. When she passed Yun Yue, she paused. She knew she wasn’t worthy, but she still wanted to take another look. Before she could look up, she heard many boos from the restaurant.

It was a mockery of Qi Youxuan’s regret. How could Qi Youxuan not know this? She laughed, and with heavy footsteps, her desolate figure disappeared up the stairs.

The restaurant erupted in applause, and the comments section was full of praise. The things that happened to Yun Yue were now being replayed on Qi Youxuan, exactly the same.

Su Qixi watched Qi Youxuan’s disappearing figure and said with lingering fear, “Yun Yue is a very good person. Why would she…” Su Qixi couldn’t understand why someone would deceive the feelings of a kind person.

Lin Mo looked away and patted Su Qixi’s head. “Qixi, let’s get to work.”

Su Qixi nodded and obediently turned to continue working.

The atmosphere that day was heavy. Everyone knew that Qi Youxuan wouldn’t be staying much longer. Qi Youxuan did not come down again after going upstairs, and the morning’s work ended in this tense atmosphere.

At noon, fans left the Ink Guest House in groups of two and three.

But the number of fans standing at the door increased, and they were all shouting slogans in unison: “Good Fortune to Zhao, Blessings to Lin, Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin, Number One.”

“Good Fortune to Zhao, Blessings to Lin, Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin, Number One.”

“Good Fortune to Zhao, Blessings to Lin, Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin, Number One.”

The fans surrounded the door, holding banners and light-up signs, making a lively scene.

Even inside the Ink Guest House, you could clearly hear the noise from outside. Wu Qingqing couldn’t help but click her tongue. Although she and Jiang Lun had just become famous this year, when their show blew up, they were also mobbed by fans at the airport.

But you could tell it was just a temporary burst of passion. As the show’s popularity faded, the fans were no longer so crazy.

Gradually, what they had to maintain was the fan club on Weibo. These dedicated fans were more loyal and were the foundation of a celebrity’s career.

Zhao Lin’s fans weren’t just any fans. The uniform slogans and the flood of fans were all organized. Only with excellent management could they have such a spectacular show of force.

Zhao Lin’s manager is really good!

When everyone sat down for lunch, Qi Youxuan came downstairs with her luggage.

After Li Xinling, this was another guest who was leaving.

Everyone was stunned and stood up.

Qi Youxuan smiled apologetically, bowed, and said, “Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble these past two days.”

[Wahahahaha, she’s finally leaving.]

[Great. It seems the trending topics we pushed this morning were useful.]

[Of course. Just look at Qi Youxuan’s Weibo; her fans are almost all gone.]

[Hahahaha, in contrast, Yun Yue’s fans have multiplied.]

The sun was shining outside, but the temperature had already fallen from summer’s peak. Although it had chased away the dark clouds of the past two days, it was still often obscured by clouds.

Qiu Mingyi, standing at the front, was a little at a loss. He asked her, “Are you really leaving now?”

Qi Youxuan laughed and, in her carefree manner, patted her head. “Actually, when my company had problems a few days ago, we were already in talks. And then this happened. I just finished talking with the production team upstairs.”

Qiu Mingyi was speechless. He didn’t expect a new member to leave so soon after Li Xinling had just gone.

He liked the show and the members very much, but at this moment, he realized that this was indeed just a job.

And everyone would go their separate ways. The comfortable environment he thought he had would fall apart with a little outside force.

They should have known about Qi Youxuan’s departure when Hua Ling had its problems.

Wu Qingqing didn’t know what to say either, but her impression of Qi Youxuan had also changed for the worse because of the game this morning.

But just a few days ago, Qi Youxuan risked her life to save a little girl. How could a person like that be an emotional con artist?

Wu Qingqing hated emotional con artists. She couldn’t convince herself of Qi Youxuan’s hardships. But looking at her coming down with her luggage, Wu Qingqing felt a sense of melancholy.

If she, an outsider, felt this way, what about Yun Yue?

Yun Yue’s heart was naturally in turmoil. After she left the company and went solo, they were in two different companies and naturally had fewer opportunities to meet.

She didn’t want to see Qi Youxuan at all and would rather give up many jobs to avoid her.

She had been avoiding her for so many years. She had finally compromised and come here. Whatever she had felt about seeing her again had turned into a feeling of loss. Qi Youxuan was leaving. They would most likely never see each other again.

As the elder sister of the group, Zhuo Zitou didn’t change her attitude toward Qi Youxuan because of the current situation. She smiled and said, “Even though you’re leaving, let’s have one more lunch together?”

Qi Youxuan’s hand tightened on her luggage handle. In the end, out of a bit of reluctance, she smiled and nodded. “Okay, thank you, everyone.”

Lunch was already being cooked, a simple seafood noodle dish. Each person got a big bowl, and they sat around a large round table, eating in silence.

The atmosphere was too cold. Jiang Lun, as the group’s “doofus” who was responsible for lifting the mood, naturally stepped up and said with a laugh, “It’s all too sudden. Otherwise, I think we should have made you a big meal.”

Qi Youxuan said, “Oh, it’s okay. The last time you cooked for Li Xinling, I’ll just consider that I got to share that meal.”

Jiang Lun laughed. “So you’re saving us money on food!”

Qi Youxuan also laughed. “Of course. The money you save can be used for your dates.”

“I’ll take that blessing!”

“It’s a definite.”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

[Ahhhh, Jiang Lun, why are you playing with her?!]

[Talking to her is just lowering our standards.]

[Senior Qiu, for the sake of your reputation, stay away from her!]

Qi Youxuan was being punished, but there were still people willing to talk to her. This made the netizens very uncomfortable, and they even wanted to turn on the people who spoke to her.

Qi Youxuan also knew her situation. After saying a few words, she became silent and focused on eating.

Lin Mo and Su Qixi across the table hadn’t spoken the whole time. Su Qixi wasn’t very close to Qi Youxuan to begin with. And Yun Yue was sitting right beside her, making it impossible for Su Qixi to say anything.

The silence in that corner made Su Qixi feel uneasy. She didn’t even know why she felt uneasy. Lin Mo, who was beside her, probably sensed her discomfort and put two shrimp in her noodle bowl.

Su Qixi turned to look at Lin Mo. Lin Mo smiled gently and said, “Don’t think too much. This is someone else’s business. Just eat.”

[Wuwuwu, our Miss Pig has a good moral compass.]

[Exactly! What’s there to pity about someone like Qi Youxuan?]

[The one who should be pitied is our Yun Yue! How much has she been suppressed by her all these years?!]

Qi Youxuan’s last lunch on the show ended in silence. There was no big feast of delicacies, no one raising their glasses and singing. Everything was just like every other day here.

Ordinary, unremarkable, and quiet…

[Hurry up and leave, preferably before my sister Zhao arrives.]

[Yes, don’t contaminate my Zhao’s eyes.]

Under the ridicule of the comments, Qi Youxuan put her bowl and chopsticks in the sink and prepared to leave with her luggage.

She was prepared for this. She could bear the result of being hated by everyone. The path Yun Yue had walked and the consequences she had faced, she wasn’t afraid to go through them herself.

She just didn’t expect to have met these people before she left.

The Guesthouse had really spent a lot of money to find these people, which in turn gave her and everyone else this unforgettable experience.

She should know her place and not affect them.

After making up her mind, Qi Youxuan turned to leave. But at that moment, Lin Mo, who had been silent all morning, suddenly called out to her.

“Qi Youxuan.”

The sky was still blue that day, and the clouds drifted lazily. Lin Mo’s voice was flat, without any emotion.

There was no disdain for her and Yun Yue’s business, nor was there any sadness for her impending departure.

But this Lin Mo was the Lin Mo Qi Youxuan was familiar with.

She turned to look and saw Lin Mo standing beside Su Qixi. She had a faint smile and asked, “Want to play another game?”

Qi Youxuan glanced at the Go board, which had been put back in the corner. Su Qixi wasn’t interested in Go, and Lin Mo barely played. Yun Yue would never play with her. One of the two people who could play Go, Yun Yue and Li Xinling, had already left, so the board had been put away.

After all, Go is a game for two people.

“Okay,” Qi Youxuan said with a smile, putting her luggage down by the door.

Director Feng, who was just entering with Zhao Lin, was completely confused by the two of them.

Qi Youxuan’s departure wasn’t forced by Director Feng. Qi Youxuan herself had reached out to him. Director Feng saw that everyone had been getting along well these past few days and that Qi Youxuan hadn’t caused any trouble.

Regardless of their personal relationships, she at least didn’t deserve to be kicked out.

But the pressure from online comments was indeed immense. Today, there were even comments accusing the production team of protecting her.

He was so wronged.

When Yun Yue slapped Qi Youxuan back then, the public opinion was also one-sided. Many people were scolding Yun Yue, but the production team never thought of kicking Yun Yue out!

But Qi Youxuan’s situation was much more serious than Yun Yue’s. While Yun Yue’s slap was harsh, many people were still wondering what Qi Youxuan had done to deserve it. But today, Qi Youxuan had personally admitted to deceiving someone’s feelings and directly pointed to Yun Yue.

The public pressure was far greater than it was for Yun Yue at that time.

Director Feng was relieved when Qi Youxuan personally said she was leaving.

Qi Youxuan had said she would leave at noon. Although it was a bit rushed, Director Feng didn’t ask any more questions. Zhao Lin was also arriving at noon. With one person leaving and one arriving, it would fill Qi Youxuan’s spot.

But before she left, why play Go?

He looked at Qi Youxuan and saw the dark circles under her eyes. Even makeup couldn’t hide her recent fatigue. Thinking about the carefree days she had spent with Jiang Lun on the show, Director Feng sighed and softened. “Okay, Lin Mo will play one game with Qi Youxuan. The rest of you, come with me to the backyard to play a small game to welcome Miss Zhao Lin.”

Lin Mo naturally couldn’t attend the welcome. She also hadn’t expected Zhao Lin to arrive at this time.

Lin Mo simply smiled faintly and greeted Zhao Lin. “Hello.”

Zhao Lin folded her arms, sighed, and scanned Lin Mo up and down. So this is the one! She was so lucky. She became popular just by filming a variety show. But who wouldn’t become popular on a show with Su Qixi? Sigh, she’s just lucky.

Lin Mo: “…”

Zhao Lin made her mental assessment, then said rudely, “Hello. I’m going to the backyard with the director and the others. Can you please bring my luggage in for me? Thank you.”

Lei Zhiming on the sidelines: “…” I’ll hold it in.

Lin Mo blinked and said good-naturedly, “Sure.” Then, she obediently took the luggage from Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin was very satisfied and finally smiled at Lin Mo.

Su Qixi was not happy at all. She gritted her teeth, about to go say something, but Wu Qingqing quickly held her back and advised, “Sister, don’t. It’s not good to argue as soon as she gets here.”

Su Qixi was not convinced. If she didn’t crush this Zhao Lin’s arrogance right from the start, she would only get worse.

But even Lin Mo, who was standing across from her, was subtly shaking her head, disapproving of her starting trouble. Only then did Su Qixi suppress her anger, her lips pouting slightly as she led the way, looking very unhappy.

So, everyone had to hold it in and go to the backyard.

Lin Mo brought Zhao Lin’s luggage into the restaurant and then turned to see that Qi Youxuan had already brought out the Go board and placed the black and white pieces.

After placing the luggage, Lin Mo walked over and sat down across from Qi Youxuan.

Qi Youxuan smiled. “You’re still so good-natured.”

Lin Mo: “It’s no big deal. It was just a small favor.”

The two guessed for the first move and divided the pieces.

This time, Lin Mo had the white pieces, and Qi Youxuan had the black.

Qi Youxuan made the first move.

Go is not a game of capturing territories from the very beginning. Most people like to lay out their plans in the opening.

Lin Mo and Qi Youxuan were no different. They both secured their own territories and began to prepare for battle.

As more and more pieces were placed on the board, it was time to start capturing territory.

The one to initiate the war was Lin Mo. She placed a white piece deep in enemy territory.

Clack! The piece made a crisp sound on the board, carrying an intense aura, much like Lin Mo at this moment.

Lin Mo said, “You know, the strategy in Go serves one purpose: to achieve final victory.”

Qi Youxuan picked up a black piece and went to meet the challenge. Although she was carefree, she had a certain aura of power in her playing style.

She smiled. “That’s a given. One piece can’t do much. But a whole group of pieces is different. As long as you slowly chip away at the opponent’s territory, you’ll eventually win. That feeling of being in control of the whole situation is why I love Go.”

The two played back and forth. Of course, knowing the netizens’ feelings about Qi Youxuan and with Zhao Lin’s arrival, the live stream’s camera remained in the backyard the entire time.

Lin Mo didn’t hold back. “So, for this game… how long did you plan your strategy?”

Qi Youxuan rested her hand on her chin. She smiled mischievously. “I started planning as soon as I wanted to break free. A small person doesn’t have many pieces, so they have to slowly chip away at the opponent.”

As if Lin Mo had already guessed this, she got the answer she wanted and chuckled. “After getting along for so many days, I couldn’t help but ask you myself. Judging by your words, it seems the Hua Ling matter isn’t over yet?”

“Of course not.” The usually nonchalant Qi Youxuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold. She picked up a black piece and slammed it on the board with a sharp clack.

Her voice was two degrees colder. “It’s not time to finish the game yet.”

In Go, finishing the game means the match is over.

…

When Qi Youxuan left, it was Lin Mo who saw her off. She didn’t wait for the others to come back. It didn’t matter anyway, and it would only cause them to be scolded.

But Qi Youxuan stopped at the courtyard gate. Standing in front of the wooden door, she could hear the voices of Zhao Lin’s fans outside. Once she stepped through this door, there would be no going back. It would be difficult for her to say anything else.

There was one thing she wanted to say, but she knew it was too shameless.

But she thought that she might never see her again, and she would lose her chance if she didn’t say it.

So, she shamelessly turned back to Lin Mo and asked, “Can you take care of her for me?”

“Someone else will take care of her in the future.” Lin Mo would naturally not take on this responsibility.

Qi Youxuan froze. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Lin Mo. “You’re right. She’ll have a new life in the future.”

Lin Mo watched her open the door and step outside. Her assistant was already waiting at the door and quickly took Qi Youxuan’s luggage.

There was a chorus of boos from outside…

Qi Youxuan’s moment of glory had finally come to an end.
