The Female Lead Keeps Breaking Her Own Persona - Chapter 21

After putting down the beverage in her hand, Qu Anruo called Wang Chu: “Sister Wang, notify Lan Yixi now that the contract is being unilaterally terminated.” After Lan Yixi is unilaterally terminated by their company, things will likely be difficult for her in the entertainment industry, and other companies won’t sign her either.

If it weren’t for the lack of evidence, Lan Yixi’s situation wouldn’t be as simple as termination now. She should be in jail.

This time, she really was careless. As the female lead, Gu Jingyun is bound to have all sorts of people causing her trouble, yet she let Gu Jingyun act alone. It seems she must protect Gu Jingyun every step of the way from now on.

Qu Anruo gave herself a mental pep talk. Gu Jingyun’s future will be guarded by her!

Qu Anruo pulled out a lollipop from who knows where, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth. She stepped on the gas and drove away.

Lan Yixi completely broke down after Qu Anruo left. She grabbed her bag, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and also headed to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Qu Anruo found Wang Chu and asked, “Sister Wang, is everything ready?” She spoke with a lollipop dangling from her mouth, looking quite lackadaisical.

Wang Chu adjusted her glasses and said, “It’s ready.” Although she didn’t know why Qu Anruo wanted to do this, she felt that Qu Anruo must have her reasons.

Qu Anruo nodded, threw the lollipop stick into the trash can, and told Wang Chu, “I’ll explain to you after she’s been notified.”

The moment Qu Anruo’s words fell, Lan Yixi burst through the door aggressively. Looking at the reckless Lan Yixi, Wang Chu frowned.

She had already instructed security not to let Lan Yixi in when she entered the company earlier. Seeing Lan Yixi brazenly forcing her way in, Qu Anruo felt those security guards needed to be dismissed.

“The contract is here, Miss Lan, would you like to take a look?” Wang Chu said, offering the contract to Lan Yixi.

Lan Yixi snatched the contract from Wang Chu’s hand and tore them to shreds with red eyes. Qu Anruo watched Lan Yixi’s clownish behavior with an expressionless face.

“You can’t do this! I didn’t push her!” Lan Yixi frantically accused the company of injustice against her.

Hearing Lan Yixi’s words, Qu Anruo feigned shock, covering her mouth and saying, “Oh? I don’t recall ever saying that Gu Jingyun was pushed down.”

At this, Wang Chu finally understood. Lan Yixi was the one who caused Gu Jingyun’s injury, no wonder Qu Anruo was taking such action.

“I….I didn’t say anything! You can’t do this. If I’m terminated, everything will be over!” Lan Yixi finished speaking and lunged at Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo saw her pounce and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Unexpectedly, Lan Yixi grabbed Qu Anruo’s trouser leg, crying hysterically. “Let go!” Qu Anruo said disdainfully.

Wang Chu, seeing how shameless Lan Yixi was, helped pull Lan Yixi aside.

Qu Anruo, now free, quickly moved away from the seemingly lunatic Lan Yixi and tidied her disheveled clothes.

“I’m leaving first. Sister Wang, you should also stay away from her. Tell those security guards to pack up and leave.” Qu Anruo said and departed, ignoring Lan Yixi’s shouts behind her.

【666, keep a close eye on Lan Yixi.】 Qu Anruo was a little uneasy. Lan Yixi seemed a bit unstable, so it was better to have 666 watch her.

Upon receiving the message, 666 began monitoring Lan Yixi’s movements.

Lan Yixi, unwilling to give up, kept lingering outside the company. Suddenly, she saw Su Haodang. She remembered that this man had been alone with Gu Jingyun a few times. If she told Qu Anruo about this, would there still be room to salvage the current situation!

Lan Yixi believed that Gu Jingyun and Qu Anruo were romantically involved, that Gu Jingyun was being kept by Qu Anruo. Thinking of this, Lan Yixi hated Gu Jingyun. Why did Qu Anruo choose Gu Jingyun instead of her!

However, after waiting all morning, Qu Anruo never came out of the company. Lan Yixi eventually left.

Gu Jingyun was helping Wang Chu supervise the practice of the trainees in the practice room, but she suddenly noticed one person was missing. After asking, she learned that the absent person was Lan Yixi. After a while, Wang Chu walked in, clapped her hands, and said, “From now on, it’s just the four of you. Hurry up and practice.”

Hearing Wang Chu’s words and connecting it with the absent Lan Yixi, they likely wouldn’t see Lan Yixi again.

Seeing that the trainees’ emotions hadn’t changed much, Wang Chu said, “Listen up, practice hard and don’t think about crooked paths. Did you all remember that?” After they replied, Wang Chu told Gu Jingyun to go back and rest with Qu Anruo.

Hearing the news of Lan Yixi’s departure, Gu Jingyun asked Qu Anruo beside her, “Did she leave?”

Qu Anruo said nonchalantly, “Oh, no. Her contract was unilaterally terminated.” She stopped and looked seriously into Gu Jingyun’s eyes: “Sister, if you encounter trouble in the future, remember to tell me.”

Seeing the grave expression on Qu Anruo’s face, Gu Jingyun knew Qu Anruo already figured out it was Lan Yixi’s doing. Gu Jingyun nodded and smiled, “Got it, I’ll tell Anruo next time. Anruo shouldn’t find me troublesome, okay?”

“How could I find Sister troublesome?” Qu Anruo felt a surge of annoyance seeing Gu Jingyun smiling so casually despite being injured by someone’s malice. “Sister, if you don’t tell me next time, I’m going to ignore you.” Qu Anruo said, sounding very aggrieved.

She truly liked Gu Jingyun, so why didn’t Gu Jingyun tell her when something happened? Was she not worthy of being relied upon?

Noticing Qu Anruo’s distress, Gu Jingyun apologetically took Qu Anruo’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, Anruo, I made you worry.”

Qu Anruo, whose hand was held by Gu Jingyun, suddenly felt a strange sensation. She clutched her chest and grabbed Gu Jingyun’s arm to keep herself from falling.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Jingyun looked at Qu Anruo nervously. After the strange feeling subsided, Qu Anruo released her hand and said, “It’s nothing, nothing.”

Qu Anruo’s appearance just now didn’t look like nothing at all. Without allowing her to refuse, Gu Jingyun contacted Zhao Lan’an.

“Auntie, I want to take Anruo to the hospital for a check-up.” She grabbed Qu Anruo, who was trying to escape, and pulled her out of the company.

“Okay, okay, she should get checked. Let Yumeng go with you, she’s more familiar with this area.” Zhao Lan’an said and sent a message to Fang Yumeng. Fang Yumeng sweetly called Zhao Lan’an ‘Auntie’ and cheerfully agreed.

Fang Yumeng’s family and Qu Anruo’s family were generational friends. The Fang family was involved in the medical field, while the Qu family was involved in various sectors. Having Fang Yumeng accompany them was the best arrangement.

Fang Yumeng drove and waited for them outside the company.

Once in the car, Qu Anruo asked, “Why didn’t you go inside?” Fang Yumeng rolled her eyes: “Those new security guards of yours didn’t recognize me and absolutely wouldn’t let me in.” Hearing Fang Yumeng’s words, Qu Anruo felt that the new security guards were quite decent.

Gu Jingyun was looking up Qu Anruo’s symptoms on her phone. The results were all increasingly severe. Gu Jingyun quickly turned off her phone.

Seeing Qu Anruo looking lively after getting out of the car, Fang Yumeng looked at her suspiciously: “You don’t look sick at all.”

“It’s better to get checked anyway.” Gu Jingyun felt a chill of fear remembering Qu Anruo’s appearance just now.

Qu Anruo didn’t take the incident to heart. According to 666, she was perfectly healthy.

After the examination, the doctor happily congratulated Qu Anruo: “Congratulations, Miss Qu, you are about to differentiate. Please take note during this time.”

“What the heck?” Qu Anruo widened her eyes, looking at the doctor in disbelief.

Hearing that Qu Anruo was fine, Fang Yumeng pounced on Qu Anruo and said, “That’s wonderful!”

Gu Jingyun also breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Qu Anruo was okay.

【666, can that gland thing be removed?】 Qu Anruo still couldn’t accept having such a thing on the back of her neck after differentiation.

【It can be, but I heard it hurts quite a bit.】 666 said after checking the data.

Hearing ‘hurts,’ Qu Anruo immediately abandoned the idea. This world is so magical, there must be other ways!

After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Fang Yumeng handed it to Qu Anruo and said, “Let’s go, I’m taking you two out for dinner.”

It was already noon, and there were many people dining. Fang Yumeng managed to reserve a private room through her connections.

“Come on, eat more.” Fang Yumeng and Gu Jingyun kept putting food on Qu Anruo’s plate.

Qu Anruo felt a strange sensation, hunching her shoulders as she looked at the two people who were so concerned about her.

After finishing the meal, Fang Yumeng attentively opened the car door for Qu Anruo. Qu Anruo looked at the suddenly very strange Fang Yumeng and tugged at Gu Jingyun’s sleeve.

Qu Anruo leaned close to Gu Jingyun’s ear and whispered, “Sister, why has she become so weird?”

The warm breath tickled Gu Jingyun’s earlobe. Gu Jingyun coughed twice and said, “Maybe it’s because she’s too happy.” After speaking, she uncomfortably moved slightly away from Qu Anruo.

Qu Anruo sighed after hearing that. If only she could be an ordinary person.

Fang Yumeng drove them back to the Qu family residence. The moment they arrived, Zhao Lan’an rushed over to ask Fang Yumeng about the situation.

“She’s fine, Aunt Lan. Ruoruo is just about to differentiate.” Fang Yumeng shared the good news with Zhao Lan’an.

Zhao Lan’an was relieved and then looked at Qu Anruo happily. “What will Ruoruo differentiate into? No matter what Ruoruo differentiates into, she’s still Mommy’s little darling.” Zhao Lan’an looked at Qu Anruo with a loving expression.

Qu Anruo shivered all over upon hearing that. It sounded so cheesy.

“Don’t worry, Anruo.” Gu Jingyun also comforted Qu Anruo.

Seeing everyone comforting her, Qu Anruo thought, so this is what it feels like to be cared for.

Qu Hanwen also rushed home from the company upon hearing the news: “I’ve booked a restaurant for dinner. Let’s go together.” He said excitedly. Qu Anruo was already this old without any signs of differentiation. If it weren’t for Qu Anruo being healthy in all aspects, he would have taken her to live in the hospital.

Fang Yumeng went home first. Qu Anruo pulled Gu Jingyun into her room and cautiously asked, “Sister, what if I become an Alpha?”

Gu Jingyun was momentarily stunned. She had indeed forgotten about this matter.
