The Scumbag Attackers Regretted It Deeply After My Death - Chapter 11

“That’s not up to her to decide!” Yao Guangming snorted coldly, raised his hand to gently rub Yao Zhenzhen’s soft, long hair, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, Dad will certainly make the decision for you. That unfilial daughter not only has to clarify for you online, but she also has to obediently give the female lead role in this TV drama to you!”

Yao Zhenzhen was somewhat overjoyed upon hearing this. “Really? Dad, are you really going to make my sister give the female lead role to me?”

“How can you call it giving? It’s returning! She said she wasn’t feeling well and asked you to audition for her, and now she’s turning against you and making you waste a trip. In my opinion, she doesn’t take this drama seriously at all. Even if she gets this rare opportunity, she won’t cherish it!”

So, this opportunity falls into her, Yao Zhenzhen’s, lap!

Upon receiving a satisfactory answer, Yao Zhenzhen was so happy she almost jumped up, but she suddenly thought of Yao Anna’s strange behavior after waking up and felt a little worried. “Dad… do you think my sister might have damaged her brain from the fever? Before, my sister was so obedient to you, but now she…”

Perhaps also thinking of the sudden change in Yao Anna’s docile personality, Yao Guangming’s eyes darkened, and he said coldly, “Probably!”

“Then should we help my sister find a doctor to check her? We can’t let it go on like this. Besides, my sister is always disobedient, and I’m afraid she’ll upset you, Dad.”

“Her?” Yao Guangming sneered. “It won’t come to that. Even if she doesn’t agree, I have my own ways to make her return the female lead role to you.”

It seems Dad has a hidden card and is not afraid of Yao Anna’s disobedience. Yao Zhenzhen looked at Yao Guangming with joy.

“Then what are you planning to do next?”

As soon as Yao Guangming hung up the phone on his end, Yao Anna immediately dialed Pei Congling’s number!

Hearing that Yao Guangming had asked Yao Anna to come home, Pei Congling closed her beautiful eyes. She was worried about whether Yao Anna would really choose to go back, as that was, after all, her home. Her voice was low and thoughtful.

If Yao Anna chose to go home, then the cooperation they had agreed upon would fall through!

How could Yao Anna not hear the probing in Pei Congling’s words? She chuckled, feeling like teasing her.

“I just don’t know what to do, that’s why I called you to ask.”

The other party paused, and then said in a deep voice, “That old fox Yao Guangming has bad intentions. You absolutely must not fall for his trick. According to the information I’ve received, I heard that Jiang Nian’an has invested in Phoenix Nirvana. I think Yao Guangming calling you back is probably because the online comments are unfavorable to Yao Zhenzhen. The person who tied the knot must untie it. He probably wants you to post on Weibo to clarify for Yao Zhenzhen!”

Jiang Nian’an invested in Phoenix Nirvana?!

Yao Anna was slightly surprised, but she quickly recovered, her eyes chilling a few degrees.

No wonder Yao Zhenzhen’s terrible acting in her previous life was still able to land the female lead role in Phoenix Nirvana. She originally thought Director Zou cast Yao Zhenzhen as the female lead because she resembled her somewhat, but she didn’t expect Jiang Nian’an to be one of the investors in Phoenix Nirvana.

This makes sense now.

It turns out that Jiang Nian’an secretly helped Yao Zhenzhen to be cast as the female lead!

Heh, this truly is a scumbag Alpha and a cheap Omega, a match made in heaven!

“Miss Yao?”

Pei Congling hadn’t heard Yao Anna’s voice for a while and couldn’t help but call out.

Yao Anna was pulled back to reality by Pei Congling’s words. She sneered, “He wants me to help clear Yao Zhenzhen’s name? Why is that old bastard Yao Guangming always daydreaming?!”

Old bastard…

Pei Congling coughed a few times. She had said what she should and shouldn’t say. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the rest depended on Yao Anna’s choice. She hoped Yao Anna wouldn’t disappoint her.

“It’s getting late, Miss Yao, you should rest soon. Whatever your choice is, I will support you.”

Yao Anna raised an eyebrow slightly. Why did it sound like Pei Congling was still doubting her resolve to bring down the Yao Corporation?

“Don’t worry, President Pei, our previous agreement won’t change. As for our plan, there might be a slight modification.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve thought about it. I’m afraid I have to go back to the Yao family, but I can’t just pave the way for Yao Zhenzhen for nothing. So, I want to take this opportunity to get back the shares my mother left me. Before that, I hope President Pei will not make a move against the Yao Corporation. Wait for my news.”

“Shares? Shares of the Yao Corporation?”

Pei Congling was stunned for a moment, then frowned. “I don’t quite understand. According to the original plan, as soon as I make a move, the stock of the Yao Corporation will definitely plummet. Miss Yao, as an A-list celebrity, can easily rake in money just by taking on an endorsement or commercial. Why are you so fixated on the Yao Corporation’s shares? That little bit of money, I assume, is just a drop in the ocean for Miss Yao!”

Hearing this, Yao Anna couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. It seemed this Pei Congling was also not entirely honest. Since she knew her worth so well, she must have investigated her beforehand.

“That’s true. I really don’t lack that money, but it is the only inheritance my biological mother left me. I don’t want it to fall into the hands of irrelevant people. Can President Pei understand how I feel?”

“So it’s an inheritance…” Pei Congling apologized. “I’m sorry, I can understand how you feel, but I’m truly afraid you’ll suffer a loss if you go alone to ask the shares from Yao Guangming.”

Just as Yao Anna expected, as soon as Pei Congling returned to the Pei Group, she immediately ordered her assistant to investigate Yao Anna’s situation. The information was so detailed that it included which commercial endorsements and TV dramas Yao Anna was currently signed to, the fees for shooting commercials, and how much the commission per episode of a drama was. She was probably clearer about it than Yao Anna herself.

After reading the data on this Omega, Pei Congling couldn’t deny that Yao Anna’s ability to attract money was incredibly strong. Given time, she might even surpass the Yao Corporation.

If it was the inheritance left by her mother, Pei Congling could understand why Yao Anna, who earned money hand over fist, would still be obsessed with the Yao Corporation’s shares.

However, who could be sure whether Yao Anna was telling the truth or not?

“If President Pei is afraid I’ll suffer a loss, why don’t you come with me?”

Pei Congling smiled. She kept her guard up. “Miss Yao is joking. If I really went to the Yao family, I’m afraid neither of us would be able to get out.”

The Pei and Yao families are sworn enemies. Asking her to accompany her to the Yao family is tantamount to asking her to enter a tiger’s den!

Pei Congling wasn’t that foolish, of course. Yao Anna was just making a casual joke to ease the tense atmosphere.

“How about this? I really can’t accompany you, but to prevent Miss Yao from suffering a loss, I’ll send my exclusive gold-medal lawyer from the Pei Group’s legal department with you. With a lawyer present, that old fox Yao Guangming wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”

“Okay, then I thank President Pei in advance.”

“Miss Yao is too polite. We’ll be in the same boat from now on. There’s no need for thanks.” Pei Congling said lightly, already starting to look forward to the movie queen’s next plan.

After hanging up the phone, Yao Anna immediately turned off her cell phone and placed it under the pillow. She pulled up the quilt and turned off the bedside lamp.

Despite being busy all day, she felt completely sleepless, staring straight at the ceiling. Thinking of Pei Congling’s hypocritical concern, which was actually just a test, her eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.

They were all old foxes, so why pretend to be innocent little rabbits?

When she said she was sending a lawyer to follow her so she wouldn’t suffer a loss, she was actually sending her confidant to personally witness whether her relationship with the Yao family had reached the point of a complete breakdown.

Yao Anna’s sharp eye couldn’t be fooled by this little trick.

The thought of her partner not completely trusting her gave Yao Anna a feeling of being under attack from all sides and in grave danger. She sighed softly. No matter what, she decided to play this act well for Pei Congling.

It’s just acting, and that was her forte.

Slowly closing her eyes, she fell into a dream soon after.

On the other side, the Yao family villa was brightly lit.

Time passed minute by minute. Finally, the difficult half hour was over. Zheng Xiulan’s gaze shifted from the motionless phone screen on the coffee table to the stern-faced Yao Guangming, and she hesitantly spoke, “Master, half an hour has passed. Why hasn’t Anna come back yet?”

“Wait a little longer. She wouldn’t dare not come back,” Yao Guangming waved his hand casually, sitting calmly on the sofa.

Zheng Xiulan nodded. Seeing Yao Guangming so certain, she didn’t say anything more.

“Maybe there’s traffic. Let’s wait a little longer.”

Another hour passed. It was now midnight…

“Dad, why don’t you call Sister and ask? Something might have happened on the way!”

“Yes, it wouldn’t hurt to call and ask.”

Zheng Xiulan looked worriedly at the darkening face of Yao Guangming, a flash of impatience in her eyes!

What was Yao Anna doing? It had been an hour and a half. Could it be that she wasn’t coming?

“It would be great if something happened! Better yet, a car accident that kills this unfilial daughter!”

Yao Guangming snorted coldly, his eyes fixed darkly on the phone screen, but he had no intention of calling Yao Anna!

Are you kidding? Since when does a father constantly chase after his daughter with phone calls? He would rather wait like this than make a single call to Yao Anna!

Another two hours passed…

Yao Zhenzhen was yawning continuously. She rubbed her drowsy eyes, feeling her eyelids heavy. She looked at Zheng Xiulan’s equally exhausted face and then turned to look at her father’s face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

“Dad, I’m getting sleepy from waiting…”

“Master, why don’t you call Anna and ask? It’s not good for us to keep staying up like this.”

Yao Guangming was also exhausted, but more than being tired, he was furious.

That wretched Yao Anna dared to stand him up? It seems she truly damaged her brain from the fever, unable to tell the difference between a father and a daughter!

Perhaps he couldn’t stand it any longer. Yao Guangming finally reached out and picked up the phone on the coffee table. This action instantly excited the long-waiting Zheng Xiulan and Yao Zhenzhen, completely wiping away their drowsiness!

“Doo, doo, doo… Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off… Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off…”

The robotic female voice reached their ears.

Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes snapped open, and she instantly exploded, “Switched off?! Dad! I think Yao Anna is just messing with us! She never intended to come back at all!”

Yao Guangming’s face was as dark as water. He tried dialing again, unconvinced, but the only response was the robotic prompt.

“Bastard!”

Yao Guangming was so angry that he suddenly stood up and overturned the coffee table in front of him!
