The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 118

Ji Mingxiao didn’t want to say anything. The money was already spent, and it was 5,000 points.

Regardless, just for these 5,000 points to be well spent, she would make sure to teach Su Hui a good lesson.

This time, it was still a world in the entertainment industry.

However, she was no longer a CEO but a celebrity.

Ji Mingxiao checked her background in this world, and she had to admit, the original owner was quite impressive.

The original owner was named Rong Tan, twenty-five years old, and had four Best Actress awards under her belt. Her professional skills were quite good, but her reputation, both inside and outside the industry, was not. Wherever Rong Tan was, there was a fight. She was a young lady from a prominent family, and later, when she got together with Feng Xi, he spoiled her to no end.

Of course, this was only during their relationship.

After being with Feng Xi for three years, Rong Tan discovered that he had already been married for a long time.

When she found out, although she was heartbroken, Rong Tan chose to break up. But Feng Xi disagreed, saying that as long as they were careful, nothing would happen.

Rong Tan refused.

She thought that would be the end of it.

Who would have thought that Feng Xi’s wife would still find out? According to Feng Xi, it was all Rong Tan’s fault for seducing him. In the end, the media exposed the whole thing.

When things were good, they were all lovey-dovey. But when trouble arose, Feng Xi would kick her to the curb without any shame.

Rong Tan’s reputation was already poor, and after the scandal broke, no one believed her, no matter how she explained. The Rong family was also unwilling to keep a person with such a stain on their name.

When Rong Tan and Feng Xi were together, it was indeed a secret. Feng Xi said it was because of Rong Tan’s job, which wasn’t suitable for a public relationship. Now, it seemed more like an excuse for them being secret lovers.

After all, if it were a proper relationship, why would no one have known for three years?

Ji Mingxiao recalled the current situation: they had only been together for one year.

In the end, Feng Xi and his wife still divorced because the wife insisted on it.

From the looks of it, Feng Xi’s wife wasn’t a person with a completely muddled mind.

She tapped the table, ready to find the wife in advance so they could team up and mess with Feng Xi.

“Sister Tan.”

Ji Mingxiao glanced at the assistant next to her, whose hands were visibly trembling. She felt a bit speechless.

“Am I that scary?” Ji Mingxiao took the cup the assistant handed her.

The assistant trembled even more.

“You can go home for today,” Ji Mingxiao said, looking at her.

The assistant was clearly surprised.

“I’m giving you a day off, and you’re not happy?”

The assistant immediately nodded and quickly left.

Since they were all in the same circle, contacting Feng Xi’s wife wasn’t difficult. Her name was Fang Yuan, the youngest daughter of the Fang family.

When she got in touch with Fang Yuan, the other party was a little taken aback.

Ji Mingxiao’s voice was trembling slightly, not out of fear, but with a hesitant quiver. “Hello, I’m Rong Tan.”

“Miss Rong, is there something I can help you with?” Fang Yuan was puzzled. She naturally knew who Rong Tan was.

To be honest, Ji Mingxiao found it ridiculous. Even if it was a secret marriage, how could people in their social circle not know? They were all from wealthy families.

But she didn’t dwell on it; there was nothing to think about.

Don’t ask why, just assume it’s for the sake of the plot.

Ji Mingxiao took a deep breath. The person on the other end also sensed that something wasn’t right.

“Miss Fang, when do you have time? Let’s meet up. I think there are some things we should discuss face to face.”

“Okay.”

The two of them arranged to meet in the afternoon. The location was a coffee shop chosen by Ji Mingxiao.

Fang Yuan looked like a strong businesswoman. It was strange that she hadn’t found out about Feng Xi’s affair sooner. Ji Mingxiao was also puzzled as to how such a busy person would come out to meet her with just one call.

The two had only met at a banquet before and weren’t familiar. They hadn’t even spoken more than a few words.

“Miss Rong?”

“What’s your relationship with Feng Xi?” Ji Mingxiao clutched her cup. She hadn’t put on much makeup, trying to look a little more delicate. She didn’t plan to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Fang Yuan frowned. “I’m his wife.”

Ji Mingxiao looked at Fang Yuan and took a deep breath. “The kind with a marriage certificate?”

“Huh? Yes.”

Fang Yuan probably had a guess of what was happening.

Ji Mingxiao’s body trembled, then she let out a cynical laugh.

Fang Yuan watched Ji Mingxiao.

“I’m sorry. I’ll break up with him immediately,” Ji Mingxiao’s smile was a little sorrowful. “I wondered why he never wanted to go public or accompany me to public events.”

“He lied to you?” Fang Yuan’s face fell.

Ji Mingxiao nodded. “He never wore a ring on his hand. The one he has was a gift from me.”

Her eyes fell on Fang Yuan’s fingers.

“That kind of scumbag doesn’t deserve you.”

Ji Mingxiao took a deep breath.

Fang Yuan tapped the table and looked at Ji Mingxiao, not showing any anger on her face.

To her, it was nothing more than a commercial marriage, but they had signed an agreement to be absolutely faithful to each other.

Just as she said this, Feng Xi’s call came in.

The two of them exchanged glances, and Ji Mingxiao put it on speakerphone.

“I’ll be back from my business trip tomorrow. Do you want to have dinner together in the evening?” Feng Xi’s voice was gentle and easy to fall for.

“Okay! I just happen to know a very popular restaurant. A lot of people are going there lately,” Ji Mingxiao’s voice was a little more excited. “I’ve also been resting these past few days.”

“What’s the point of going where there are a lot of people? I learned a few dishes. How about I cook for you when I get back? I want to have some alone time with you.”

Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes, and her voice became a little more aggrieved. “We’ve never had a meal out together. Am I not presentable?”

“What do you mean, not presentable? You’re in a critical period of your career. It’s not good if a relationship is exposed.”

“I’m not an idol; I’m an actress. It’s fine to be in a relationship,” Ji Mingxiao said.

“Honey, why do you suddenly want to go public? We’ve talked about this before. When the time is right, I’ll marry you, and then we’ll go public. Isn’t that better?”

Ji Mingxiao sighed. “Will I ever get to that time?”

There were a few seconds of silence from Feng Xi’s end.

“Rongrong, don’t be so difficult.”

“Is it so difficult for me to want to go public? You always say it’s for me. Are you afraid of something?” Ji Mingxiao asked.

Feng Xi sighed on his end. “Rongrong, I’m very tired today.”

“Then you should rest well,” Ji Mingxiao’s voice softened. “I just want to be with you openly and honestly.”

She hung up the phone.

Fang Yuan looked at Ji Mingxiao thoughtfully.

“Miss Fang.”

“Hmm?”

“From today on, we’re good friends. How does that sound?”

Fang Yuan immediately understood and smiled.

“How are you so sure that I don’t want to continue this marriage?”

“Because we both deserve better. He doesn’t.”

Fang Yuan nodded, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

Who was the most anxious when Ji Mingxiao and Fang Yuan became friends? Feng Xi.

System A thought about Feng Xi’s future days and wanted to mourn for him for a minute.

The two left the coffee shop one after the other.

Ji Mingxiao went home and started to think about Su Hui.

When she came over, Xianyu had sent her all of Su Hui’s information. She was the main dancer of a third-rate girl group, with no resources or exposure. She was currently in a state of having nothing to do.

She knew almost instantly how to deal with Su Hui.

System A saw the smile on Ji Mingxiao’s face and had a very bad feeling.

Devil. This woman was a complete and utter devil.

After handling all the matters, Ji Mingxiao began to think about Xi Ruan.

Lying on the bed, her body and mind relaxed.

She wondered where Xi Ruan was and what she was doing.

Xi Ruan was currently working as an extra in a certain film crew.

She was exhausted. After living quite well for a few consecutive worlds, it was a little uncomfortable to suddenly start a tiring life again. However, she wasn’t a delicate person now. She would do what she had to, but the thought of her previous life as a rich woman made her a little sad.

Xi Ruan sighed quietly, took a sip of water, and then heard them calling for her again.

When would Ji Mingxiao finally find her?

Xi Ruan put down her water cup and patted the dust off her clothes.

Ji Mingxiao had been sleeping comfortably at first, but later, she felt a little uncomfortable.

She was dreaming.

She dreamed of Xi Ruan, and it wasn’t a dream that made her mind wander.

Instead, Xi Ruan kept chanting in her ear.

“Come find me quickly!”

“Come find me quickly!”

“Why aren’t you here yet!”

…

When Ji Mingxiao woke up, she checked the time. It was nine in the morning.

It was indeed about time to get up.

She sat on the bed for a while, sinking into silence.

“System.”

“Hmm?”

“It seems like Ruanruan came to me in a dream last night.”

System A: ???

“Huh?”

“She told me to find her as soon as possible,” Ji Mingxiao rubbed her temples. “She called out for an entire night.”

System A: …

“Looks like I really should go out and walk around. Maybe I’ll run into her,” Ji Mingxiao got up, tidied up, and went out for a stroll.

However, she walked around until lunchtime and still didn’t run into Xi Ruan. Instead, she ran into her fans.

“It’s not that easy. Don’t worry,” System A said, looking at Ji Mingxiao’s crestfallen face.

Ji Mingxiao sighed quietly, glanced at the script on the table, and flipped through it casually.

The thought of having to memorize things gave her an even bigger headache.

“Don’t worry, it’s not difficult. It’s just lines.”

Ji Mingxiao rolled her eyes in a bad mood. “You say it so easily. My acting skills can’t keep up either.”

System A laughed. “You’re being modest.”

Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes, not feeling that this was a compliment at all.

“Heh.” She looked at the script again. Fortunately, it was a movie script, so there weren’t as many lines as in a TV series.

The script mainly depicted the various problems faced by modern urban women: career, love, family, all intertwined.

Since the original owner had read the script, she had a rough idea of it, and it was quite good.
