Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Sister Zhou spent more than ten minutes on the phone with the higher-ups at Star River International before returning to the dining table. Su Tuantuan knew immediately that the company had agreed to her demands.
When she spoke, her guess was confirmed.
Sister Zhou smiled. “The company values you highly, so I’m to take you to the office tomorrow to re-sign the agreement. We can just draw up a supplementary agreement. If it’s inconvenient for you, I can bring it over for you to sign.”
Su Tuantuan raised an eyebrow. Sister Zhou continued, “I currently have over a dozen scripts looking for you. Initially, I planned to choose for you, but since you said you want to select your own scripts, I will just offer suggestions, and you can decide which one to act in.”
Su Tuantuan gave a subtle smile. “No rush on that. Let’s eat first.”
She called Xiao Yu and personally opened the fruit wine. “Sister Zhou was thoughtful enough to make all this delicious food for us common folk. Tonight, I don’t care about dieting; I’m going to have a proper meal.”
Sister Zhou also smiled, but watching Su Tuantuan speak these words so naturally, she seemed nothing like the wooden block she used to be.
Su Tuantuan never deliberately catered to anyone. By saying this, she was already treating Sister Zhou as one of her own. Sister Zhou was flattered, and the meal was a mix of emotions for her.
After Su Tuantuan went to the company to revise her contract, the film crew she would join was quickly settled.
It was a costume drama, directed by Meng Han.
Meng Han would also have an acting role in the series, and the other female lead was set to be He Xiyao.
Su Tuantuan wanted to introduce Bai Xue to a role, but considering she hadn’t yet terminated her contract with Wu Ziqi, and there would be more trouble once she joined the set, it wasn’t the right time.
Bai Xue’s competition results had silenced Wu Ziqi for a while, but he was still pushing Bai Xue to participate in various promotional activities.
The lawsuit was ongoing, and before the contract was officially terminated, Bai Xue had to fulfill the original terms.
Wu Ziqi also didn’t dare to force Bai Xue into acting in explicit films at this time.
However, Bai Xue was still exhausted. Jiang Zhizhi complained in the group chat, and Shen Jun quickly responded that the contract termination would happen within the next few days. Since the time was near, everyone decided not to publicly denounce Wu Ziqi online anymore to avoid complications.
Su Tuantuan prepared for joining the set. The script for this drama had been written a long time ago. Meng Han had been waiting for the right people to play the roles. During the The Road to Performance competition, she held several meetings with her team and finally settled on the style and tone.
This drama was written by Meng Han herself, and her name guaranteed the quality, so the expected results were promising.
The looks of Su Tuantuan and the other main cast members, once revealed, amazed Meng Han.
Su Tuantuan played a delicate young wife from a wealthy family in the drama. After being exiled to the frontier, life became tough, but she eventually started a successful food business through her hard work.
The character was meant to be innocent and charming, but with a streak of cleverness.
Among all the actors, no one was more suitable for this role than Su Tuantuan.
He Xiyao played a government official in the frontier town.
There were no settings of princes or generals, only the grievances and affections between ordinary people.
The script reading and the start of filming went very smoothly.
Meng Han was also a strict director. Su Tuantuan was often scheduled for late-night shoots, continuously pushing herself to adapt to the environment of the drama.
After half a month of filming, Su Tuantuan lost a few pounds and hadn’t contacted Mo Xian much.
Every time she saw Mo Xian’s greetings, she only glanced at them, occasionally replying but not taking it seriously.
At this time, Bai Xue’s contract termination was finalized, and Wu Ziqi agreed to release her.
Bai Xue hadn’t signed with a new company yet, but as soon as she received the termination contract, scandals involving her were exposed online.
This time, the leaks not only targeted Bai Xue but also Mo Xian.
The rumors intensified.
Gossip Forward Rush: “Bai Xue is a famous social butterfly in the industry. Mo Xian even slept with her. We have pictures as proof, but Mo Xian is terrible. She slept with someone and didn’t even help them gain fame.”
Entertainment for All: “Mo Xian is completely leaning on Bai Xue. This doesn’t look like being drunk; it looks more like a date between old lovers. Mo Xian, who always claimed to be clean, is about to crash and burn this time.”
All-Star Entertainment: “No wonder Mo Xian helped repost for Bai Xue. Is it because of this? Then does Su Tuantuan, as Bai Xue’s good friend, also have an unspeakable relationship with Mo Xian?”
As soon as these comments were released, they were furiously discussed.
Photos of Mo Xian and Bai Xue entering a room together were also attached.
The descriptions were vivid, as if everyone had witnessed what happened that day.
Su Tuantuan received the news while filming on the set. It was the scorching heat of summer, and she felt like she was melting.
Even though it was September, the temperature in the film city hadn’t dropped at all.
She fanned herself with her hand, sweat constantly streaming down her neck. Meng Han was giving directions to a few people. Xiao Yu rushed over with her phone. “Sister Tuantuan, phone call!”
Su Tuantuan answered the phone and heard Sister Zhou roaring, “What the hell is going on online! Why are they dragging you into this again! Don’t get involved in this Mo Xian and Bai Xue thing!”
Su Tuantuan was stunned. “What thing?”
Before Sister Zhou could explain, Su Tuantuan hung up and checked for herself.
After reading for a while, she finally understood the whole story.
Mo Xian’s side was handling public relations, contacting people to delete posts and suing those who spread rumors, but the photos were already circulating. So many people had seen them, and fans were demanding an explanation.
Usually, when something like this happened, fans would immediately stand by Mo Xian, but the photos were right there.
Su Tuantuan checked on Bai Xue. Bai Xue dared not say anything, and the aggressive, abusive comments below her posts were skyrocketing every second.
Su Tuantuan thought for a moment and called Bai Xue.
No one answered.
Su Tuantuan messaged her on WeChat, but Bai Xue didn’t reply.
Su Tuantuan felt even hotter, sweat sticking to her eyelids. She thought for a moment and called Mo Xian.
She called Mo Xian’s private number, and Mo Xian answered quickly.
“Hello…”
Mo Xian was clearly in a bad mood and hadn’t expected her to call.
Su Tuantuan tried to keep her voice calm. “Go find Bai Xue for me and prevent her from doing anything foolish. I’ll give you her home address. Hurry up and find her! Also—”
She took a deep breath. “She didn’t mean to harm you. She was forced into that situation at the time. I can help you both resolve this matter.”
Mo Xian was silent for two seconds on the phone. Su Tuantuan grew anxious. “Can’t you hear me? Are you deaf?!”
Mo Xian answered, “Got it. I’ll go find her right away.”
Su Tuantuan hung up. While everyone was heatedly discussing the scandal, she opened her mobile cloud drive and entered Mo Xian’s date of birth.
She forced herself to remain calm.
In the cloud drive were all the pieces of evidence the original owner had saved back then.
Evidence that Bai Xue left Mo Xian’s room quickly, evidence that Mo Xian was unconscious at the time, and evidence that she had guarded Mo Xian all night and done nothing.
The evidence also included a recording of Wu Ziqi and others harassing the apartment and banging on the door.
Her fingers were trembling, and her heart was trembling.
“Su Tuantuan…”
You weren’t stupid at all.
Loving someone like this, you even thought of the worst possible outcome.
“Then I’ll use your last act of love to pull her back to reality.”
