The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 20

Looking at Gu Jingyun’s face, which showed no signs of pain, Qu Anruo asked in disbelief, “Really?” Gu Jingyun nodded, “Really.”

“That’s great!” After getting Gu Jingyun’s affirmation, Qu Anruo felt encouraged and made another soup.

After finishing, Qu Anruo introduced her dishes: “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried greens, and tomato and egg drop soup.” Although they were very simple dishes, it was quite good for her first time cooking so many things.

Gu Jingyun helped Qu Anruo carry all the dishes to the table. “Sister, let me do it.” Qu Anruo was about to take the dishes from Gu Jingyun’s hands, but Gu Jingyun avoided her. Gu Jingyun gave Qu Anruo chopsticks and said, “Anruo must be very tired after cooking so much, hurry up and change your clothes before coming to eat.”

Qu Anruo pulled up her clothes and sniffed, detecting a smell of cooking oil and smoke. She hadn’t noticed it at first, but now, upon smelling it, she returned to the room in disgust and changed her clothes. While changing, she suddenly remembered that Gu Jingyun had been so close to her just now and must have smelled it… Oh no, Gu Jingyun is a clean freak! She wouldn’t be disgusted by her, would she?

Qu Anruo changed her clothes with low spirits and sat opposite Gu Jingyun. Gu Jingyun looked at the empty seat beside her, thinking Qu Anruo would sit closer. Qu Anruo initially wanted to sit with Gu Jingyun, but thinking about the smell on her clothes that Gu Jingyun had just smelled, she was a little afraid to face Gu Jingyun directly. Damn it, she wasn’t fragrant anymore.

Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Anruo’s strange behavior and asked, “Anruo, what’s wrong?” Qu Anruo shook her head, burying her face as she ate.

After dinner, Gu Jingyun continued to look at the script. She had an audition in a few days. It was her first time auditioning for a lead actress role, and she was still a little nervous.

Qu Anruo looked at Gu Jingyun’s injury and couldn’t help but kneel beside her and ask, “Sister, did you apply the medicine?”

Gu Jingyun put down the script and shook her head, “No.” After hearing this, Qu Anruo got up, took Gu Jingyun’s medicine, and came back to her side, looking at her with sparkling eyes. She had never applied medicine to anyone before, and she really wanted to try. Seeing Qu Anruo’s eager expression, Gu Jingyun sighed, moved closer to Qu Anruo, and lowered her head, allowing Qu Anruo to help her.

Qu Anruo was excited when Gu Jingyun agreed and immediately started applying the medicine. Because they were so close, Gu Jingyun could clearly see Qu Anruo’s trembling eyelashes and slightly pouting lips. Her scarlet, unpainted lips were slightly parted, revealing the pink of her teeth. Gu Jingyun’s breathing hitched, and she closed her eyes.

After applying the medicine, Qu Anruo held Gu Jingyun’s forehead to check, took a paper towel to wipe her hands, and said, “All done.” Gu Jingyun thanked Qu Anruo and then fled into the room as if escaping.

What was she thinking? How could she think of Qu Anruo that way? It’s truly filthy! Gu Jingyun stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection with contempt.

The next morning, Gu Jingyun made breakfast, left it for Qu Anruo in the kitchen, and took a taxi to the company.

Qu Anruo came out of the bedroom, yawning, and found the house very quiet. She went to Gu Jingyun’s door and knocked a few times, saying, “Sister, are you there?” Seeing no one answer inside, she took out her phone to call Gu Jingyun but saw the message Gu Jingyun had sent her at 6:30. Knowing Gu Jingyun had gone to the company, she went to the kitchen and took out the still warm food.

After eating, she stretched, changed her clothes, grabbed her car keys, and also went to the company.

Su Haodang, hearing that Gu Jingyun was injured, rushed to Jingruo and, despite the security guards’ attempts to stop him, found Gu Jingyun and asked, “Miss Gu, are you alright?”

Seeing Su Haodang appear before her, Gu Jingyun felt a headache coming on. She put down the script in her hand and rubbed her temples, saying, “President Su, thank you for your concern, but I don’t think I am the person you are referring to.”

Su Haodang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “You can be her. If you agree to come to my company, I promise to give you anything you want.” Looking at Su Haodang, who still wouldn’t give up, Gu Jingyun felt he truly had no sense. She had clearly rejected him, so why was he still pestering her?

Su Haodang looked at Gu Jingyun, who was also an Alpha like himself. She was too similar, too similar to his Miaomiao. Even if Gu Jingyun was an Alpha, he wouldn’t give up.

Qu Anruo, who had just arrived at the company, saw Su Haodang with Gu Jingyun, and her face instantly darkened. “Su Haodang, can’t you understand human language? Why are you still here? Where are the security guards?” She stepped in front of Gu Jingyun, blocking Su Haodang’s attempt to get closer to her.

Su Haodang, seeing Qu Anruo again ruining his plans, sneered and said, “President Qu, since we see each other so often, is it necessary to cause conflict between the Su family and you over a woman?”

“She is mine. Stay away from her!” Qu Anruo warned Su Haodang, waving her hand for the security guards to “escort” him out.

Su Haodang, who was grabbed by the security guards, broke free from them and shouted at Qu Anruo, “Qu Anruo! Just you wait!” After saying that, he straightened his messy clothes and left.

Hearing Qu Anruo’s words, Gu Jingyun didn’t know how to feel. Perhaps Qu Anruo really only liked her as a friend…

After Su Haodang left, Qu Anruo nervously examined Gu Jingyun and asked, “Sister, are you alright?” Then, she looked at the security guards, whose monthly salaries were not low: “I pay you money to handle things this way? If you can’t do your job, you can leave.” The security guards, who had finally found an easy, high paying job, quickly apologized for the mistake and promised not to let any strange people in again.

“I’m fine.” Because there were people around, Su Haodang didn’t dare to do anything to her. It was just that whenever Su Haodang got close to her, she could always smell a disgusting odor.

“That’s good.” Qu Anruo also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Jingyun was fine. Next time, she absolutely couldn’t let Gu Jingyun come out alone.

Pulling Gu Jingyun back to the office, Qu Anruo checked her injury while asking, “Sister, why did you come to the company? Isn’t your injury not fully healed yet?”

“The audition is the day after tomorrow. I came over to have Sister Wang take a look while she has time,” Gu Jingyun said with her eyes closed.

Qu Anruo had seen Gu Jingyun memorize such a thick script at home, yet she was still afraid of not being perfect. No wonder she’s the female lead, she’s really impressive. She herself was currently just a person idling around. She thought she would be busy, but it turned out she was completely free, which coincidentally fulfilled her past wish.

“Sister, don’t work too hard.” After checking Gu Jingyun’s injury, Qu Anruo felt it would be almost fully healed in a few days. Sure enough, what the hospital recommended is good.

Gu Jingyun nodded and went to find Wang Chu.

Secretary Zhang knocked on the door and said, “President Qu.”

“Come in.” Secretary Zhang opened and closed the door, then brought the selected scripts to Qu Anruo, saying, “President Qu, these are scripts submitted to our company. Please take a look.”

Qu Anruo took them and began to flip through them. Secretary Zhang stood aside, waiting for Qu Anruo’s instructions.

Qu Anruo suddenly noticed a script among them for a film that would become popular. She took it out and looked through the content. Sure enough, it’s that one. She just didn’t know why the screenwriter would submit their script to her company.

“This one, contact them.” Qu Anruo handed the script to Secretary Zhang. Secretary Zhang took it, organized the remaining scripts, nodded, and left.

【Host, I’ve sent you Lan Yixi’s background information.】 666 said, sending Lan Yixi’s background to Qu Anruo.

Qu Anruo received Lan Yixi’s background and frowned as she looked through it; there was nothing strange in it. That made it even more peculiar. Lan Yixi and Gu Jingyun didn’t know each other at all, so why would… It seemed she had to go see her personally.

Qu Anruo got up and asked 666 to locate Lan Yixi. After learning Lan Yixi’s location, Qu Anruo told Gu Jingyun and drove away.

Qu Anruo followed the address provided by 666 and found a residential area, where all sorts of people were mixed together. Qu Anruo parked the car a distance away from the complex. She got out of the car and walked cautiously into the neighborhood.

The security guards inside didn’t care about the entry of outsiders. After entering, Qu Anruo went to a relatively habitable building. She knocked on a somewhat rusty door. The person inside heard it and opened the door.

When Lan Yixi saw it was Qu Anruo, she said in a panic, “President Qu!” She hadn’t expected it to be Qu Anruo. The thought of Qu Anruo seeing her living in such a messy and dirty place made her flustered.

Looking at Lan Yixi in front of her, Qu Anruo smiled and said, “I have something to ask you.” Hearing that Qu Anruo had something to ask, Lan Yixi hurriedly welcomed Qu Anruo inside.

After entering, Qu Anruo found that although the room was a bit small, it was very clean. She sat down on a stool, and Lan Yixi nervously poured her a glass of water in a disposable cup.

Putting the water on the table, Qu Anruo got straight to the point: “Gu Jingyun’s injury was caused by you, wasn’t it?”

Lan Yixi instantly tensed up and said, “I, I don’t understand what you are saying?”

Qu Anruo stood up and looked at her: “Don’t understand?” “Is it that you don’t understand what I said, or don’t understand why Gu Jingyun didn’t say it was you?”

Hearing Qu Anruo’s words, Lan Yixi backed away, shaking her head: “No, it wasn’t me!”

Seeing Lan Yixi’s reaction, Qu Anruo already knew it was her. Qu Anruo didn’t say anything more and wanted to leave but was grabbed by the arm by Lan Yixi.

“Let go!” Qu Anruo looked at Lan Yixi with disgust. Lan Yixi was stunned by Qu Anruo’s shout and slowly released her grip on Qu Anruo’s hand. After Qu Anruo left, she muttered frantically behind her.

“It wasn’t me, really, it wasn’t me. It’s all Gu Jingyun’s fault, yes! It’s all her fault!”

“How pitiful.” Qu Anruo took a sip of the drink in the car and sighed to 666.

【Indeed, she was a perfectly good person.】 Lan Yixi wasn’t bad to begin with. Jingruo’s resources were distributed relatively evenly to all artists. She could have had a worry free life in her later years as long as she didn’t stir up trouble, yet she still harmed Gu Jingyun. 666 sighed. It could clearly see that its host liked Gu Jingyun. Lan Yixi probably wouldn’t have an easy time after injuring Gu Jingyun.
