Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 28
Chapter 28
A few bottles of wine that night opened up the hearts of the two. Su Tuantuan wasn’t being overly saintly; she just felt that Bai Xue was not beyond saving. When she attended the event, Bai Xue even considered the risks and slipped her a note, which made it clear that Bai Xue was not completely evil.
Furthermore, the original owner had been looked after by her, and now that she occupied the original owner’s body, she would likely continue to do so.
It wouldn’t be right to accept such kindness and owe such a favor without repaying it.
Before going to sleep, Su Tuantuan left messages for both Qiao Yanran and Sister Zhou, asking them to help her contact a suitable lawyer.
These two had relatively wide social networks, so there might really be a way.
She couldn’t afford to wait; who knew how long it would drag on or what nasty tricks Nova Star Entertainment might pull.
Bai Xue found it harder to sleep than Su Tuantuan.
She thought Su Tuantuan wouldn’t care about her anymore.
After their falling out, she had never contacted Su Tuantuan. Even when she knew Nova Star Entertainment was tracking her, she didn’t warn her. At that time, she was struggling to protect herself and held deep resentment toward Su Tuantuan.
When everyone stood by and no one spoke up for her today, she was already resigned, no longer expecting any miracle.
But then, Su Tuantuan stepped forward.
She tossed and turned, listening to the person in the bunk above her snore, her heart naturally anxious.
Yet, she wasn’t as afraid anymore.
She wasn’t fighting alone.
Therefore, she felt immensely confident.
Monday required normal drawing of subjects and rehearsal. This round of competition was divided into four groups, with one elimination spot per group, making the atmosphere in the rehearsal room particularly tense.
Su Tuantuan and Bai Xue drew the same group. Bai Xue held the script but couldn’t focus on rehearsing, worried about the harsh words Wu Ziqi had left yesterday.
Su Tuantuan noticed, didn’t press her, and secretly slipped away with her to the signal area to call and access the internet, leaving the remaining two to practice their lines first.
Sister Zhou and Qiao Yanran both replied.
Sister Zhou’s first reaction was that Su Tuantuan wanted to terminate her contract. She sent a long series of voice messages on WeChat, saying that Su Tuantuan shouldn’t be ungrateful, forgetting her manager after becoming popular, and that she had personally guided her step-by-step.
After ranting, Sister Zhou realized.
If Su Tuantuan really wanted to terminate her contract with her, she wouldn’t have been so bold as to personally ask her for a lawyer’s contact information.
So, Sister Zhou recommended a few reliable lawyers, saying that they were all highly reputable in the industry.
Qiao Yanran was even more direct. After clarifying that Su Tuantuan was helping a friend terminate a contract, she said that after the live stream tonight, she would have the lawyer meet them at the training camp for a face-to-face discussion.
Su Tuantuan didn’t involve Sun Qiushuang in this matter.
Mainly because of Sun Qiushuang’s loud and dramatic personality, she might not be helpful, and she might not think highly of Bai Xue.
If Sun Qiushuang managed to solve this problem, she would be hearing about it for years.
After adding the contact information, Su Tuantuan didn’t contact the lawyer immediately but took Bai Xue back to rehearse.
The cameras were watching the live stream; if they disappeared for too long, people would become suspicious.
But Bai Xue was less worried now, and she focused more during practice.
Netizens didn’t know what material they had for this round. Seeing them go out just now, they assumed Su Tuantuan had taken Bai Xue out to find inspiration.
After all, Su Tuantuan had done similar things before.
The day’s rehearsal ended. As soon as the live broadcast stopped online, Qiao Yanran arrived with the lawyer.
Su Tuantuan hadn’t expected her to come in person.
Not only did Qiao Yanran come, but she also brought some bird’s nest and tonics to relieve fatigue and boost energy. “Sister, you’ve worked hard rehearsing. I haven’t come to see you all this time. Please don’t blame me!”
They had just seen each other at the gala; there was no need to be so formal.
Su Tuantuan looked at the Female Alpha behind her. “Is this the lawyer you mentioned?”
“Yes, Shen Jun, a lawyer from Zhengda Law Firm. She has handled many contract termination cases and is very capable.”
Qiao Yanran looked at Shen Jun. “Lawyer Shen, they are all my friends. You can speak freely.”
Shen Jun was quite tall, about $1.72text{ meters}$, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and her hair half-tied, looking very much like a samurai topknot, but more stylish.
Unlike the consistently clean and wolf-tail-haired Mo Xian, this Shen Jun, even with glasses, exuded a cold demeanor.
She slightly pulled her thin lips and extended her hand toward Su Tuantuan. “Hello.”
Su Tuantuan was completely stunned.
She had an impression of this Shen Jun.
In the original novel, Shen Jun protected Qiao Yanran silently, regardless of the cost.
Later, when Qiao Yanran and Mo Xian got together, she even personally sent her blessings. She never confessed her love, but the author used extensive descriptions to detail how she helped Qiao Yanran and her years of selfless devotion.
This was the devoted female supporting character.
She was the barrier the vicious female villain could never cross in a lifetime.
“Sister?”
Qiao Yanran called out. Su Tuantuan came back to her senses and smiled faintly. “Hello, Lawyer Shen.”
The four sat a short distance apart. Su Tuantuan chatted with Qiao Yanran, leaving Lawyer Shen and Bai Xue to communicate.
Qiao Yanran leaned close to Su Tuantuan’s ear and whispered, “She’s very handsome, right?”
Su Tuantuan was slightly taken aback. “Hm?”
Qiao Yanran’s cheeks were flushed. “We used to be neighbors. She’s always been very helpful. When I saw you needed help, I called her over.”
Su Tuantuan turned her head to look. Shen Jun was discussing details with Bai Xue and didn’t notice their situation, but as she talked, Shen Jun began spinning her pen between her fingers, writing something on the paper.
A woman working seriously…
She was genuinely charming.
“She is quite handsome.”
Su Tuantuan regained her focus.
“Then who do you think is more handsome, the God of Xian or her?”
Qiao Yanran blinked, eagerly awaiting her answer. Su Tuantuan was speechless. Is there even a comparison?
Of course Mo Xian is more handsome!
But looking at Qiao Yanran’s infatuated expression, she seemed to realize something. “Do you like her?”
This wasn’t supposed to be in the original novel!
Qiao Yanran giggled, neither directly answering nor denying it.
Su Tuantuan sighed with emotion. “That’s good.”
At least that person is truly good to her.
Unlike Mo Xian, who was a block of wood. The “good morning” and “good night” messages she’d been sending her these past two days were annoying, so Su Tuantuan had simply blocked her number.
“She doesn’t know yet.”
Qiao Yanran swung her legs under the seat, looking up at the illuminated light strips. “She’s too good, too outstanding. I always feel like I’m not good enough.”
Her eyes dimmed slightly as she said this.
Su Tuantuan knew that Qiao Yanran’s journey hadn’t been easy, and her family had caused her immense pain.
But she had always lived like the sun.
Su Tuantuan reached out and hugged her.
Qiao Yanran was stunned. Su Tuantuan comforted her, “Everything is getting better, isn’t it?”
Qiao Yanran couldn’t stop smiling and hugged her back, nearly bursting into tears.
Shen Jun called out, “Yanran!”
Qiao Yanran quickly let go of the embrace and turned her head to look at her. Shen Jun expressionlessly adjusted her glasses, but her tone was gentle. “I left the file in the car. Could you help me retrieve it, please?”
Qiao Yanran happily jumped up and ran to get her car keys. “Of course!”
As soon as she left, Shen Jun looked over at Su Tuantuan.
Her eyes were completely cold.
Su Tuantuan even detected a hint of warning.
Shen Jun slightly nodded toward her and continued her discussion with Bai Xue.
Su Tuantuan: “???”
Was this woman treating her like a love rival?
