Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Su Tuantuan: “File Share”

Su Tuantuan: “My apologies, everyone. This explanation comes a bit late.”

Long text share follows—

Su Tuantuan: “At an evening event six months ago, Mo Xian was poisoned by someone with malicious intent. She was disoriented at the time and was discovered by my friend Bai Xue, who helped her into a hotel room. After assisting her into the room, Bai Xue immediately called me and then came out to find me. Since she was unsure who the poisoner was and had been called back by her company, she gave me the room card and asked me to look after Mo Xian.”

“While caring for Mo Xian, I recorded a full video of myself sitting by the bed. Because Mo Xian showed symptoms of poisoning, and I couldn’t reach her agent, I only left when her agent arrived the next morning.”

The video showed her presence throughout. If she and Mo Xian had done anything, she couldn’t have participated in the recording the entire time.

In the end, she fell asleep by the bedside, and the corner of Mo Xian’s clothing was also captured.

This confirmed that Mo Xian was in the room at the time.

Su Tuantuan: “After the incident, in gratitude for my help, Mo Xian tolerated me leveraging her popularity more than once. The identity of the poisoner also surfaced—it was Bai Xue’s former agent, Wu Ziqi. After discovering I ruined his plan, he repeatedly sent people to threaten and harass me, even splashing paint, attempting retaliation.”

Su Tuantuan: “Mo Xian, knowing this, arranged accommodation for me to ensure my personal safety. Now, six months later, Wu Ziqi’s evidence of poisoning has long been destroyed, making it difficult for us to provide proof. My friend has also been constantly threatened by them. Wu Ziqi even tried to force my friend to star in explicit films.”

The audio clip was Bai Xue tearfully talking about Wu Ziqi threatening her to shoot explicit films.

Su Tuantuan: “Now that Bai Xue has terminated her contract with them, Wu Ziqi is resentful and attempts to use this past event to fabricate rumors and slander my friend. This is utterly despicable and vile. I only offered help spontaneously back then. Mo Xian has long since repaid the favor; her repeated assistance has been the utmost of kindness and duty.”

Su Tuantuan: “The person with the moral stain in this matter is the poisoner, not the victim.”

Su Tuantuan: “Bai Xue is my best friend, and Mo Xian is a creator I greatly admire. I was involved in and witnessed the whole incident and have a clear conscience. No dirty trick can suppress a righteous and kind heart. Please stop spreading rumors. Going forward, I will focus on acting and improving my skills. Thank you for your concern, and I apologize.”

After posting this, Su Tuantuan lay in the bathtub, eyes closed, letting the shower run over her. She tossed her phone onto the side, submerged her body, and let her mind go blank.

She had asked the crew for half a day off, originally planning to film tomorrow.

But if this public opinion fermented negatively, whether she would even have a role to return to was uncertain.

The world values an artist’s skill, but it also places a high value on an artist’s private morality.

Her move, at first glance, was about using her good deed to force a reward, but what would others think?

Yet, this was the best solution.

It could completely clear Bai Xue and separate her from her former company. Public opinion would reverse, and Wu Ziqi would be at a disadvantage.

Next, it was up to Shen Jun to find Wu Ziqi’s legal loopholes, ideally sending him to jail.

The breath held in her chest made her lungs hurt. Su Tuantuan sat up in the bathtub, nearly choking on the water.

Her mind cleared significantly. The phone on the side table was vibrating non-stop.

It was Sister Zhou calling.

Sister Zhou had repeatedly advised her not to get involved in this matter and was even more shocked that Su Tuantuan and Mo Xian had such a past.

As soon as her wings were slightly grown, she flew away. Sister Zhou was furious. Su Tuantuan didn’t want to bring trouble upon herself right now. She turned off her phone, came out of the bathroom, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and sat by the window, drinking wine against the night sky.

Now that everything was public.

She seemed to have finally completed a certain mission.

She no longer had anything to hold back.

It felt as if she had completely separated herself from the original owner.

But she still felt awful.

Su Tuantuan’s hair was still dripping water. Leaning against the glass, watching the rain outside, she felt like crying for some reason.

Her breath fogged up the glass. Su Tuantuan couldn’t help but bury her face in her knees and sob.

So, everyone in this world knew.

They all knew she had leveraged her past good deed to coerce Mo Xian, and that Mo Xian, being a good person, fully tolerated and agreed to it.

Her only connection to Mo Xian was that she had once cared for her.

Therefore, in their eyes.

Was she, perhaps, even less worthy of Mo Xian?

For the first time, Su Tuantuan understood the feeling of the original owner’s fear of approaching someone she loved.

It was exactly like that.

It genuinely led to low self-esteem.

An emotion she wouldn’t feel even when facing others, yet when facing that person, she couldn’t stop thinking about how terrible she really was.

She was such a confident person.

She was someone who was so skilled at being strong.

And yet, one day, she felt inferior because she liked someone.

This was so unlike Su Tuantuan.

Su Tuantuan drank some wine and slept through the night. When the knocking woke her up, she was completely disoriented.

“Su Tuantuan, you insolent wretch! Get out and get to work! You only asked for half a day off, and now you’re trying to be lazy again, aren’t you!”

Meng Han was raging outside.

Su Tuantuan let out a pained cry, climbed out of bed, and adjusted her bathrobe to open the door. Meng Han’s face was dark. “Do you see what time it is?! Makeup and costume take three hours. And you’re still sleeping! With such a poor state, how are you going to film later!”

Meng Han glanced at the time. “It’s almost six. Hurry up and get ready for your hair. I’ll call the stylist to come over. Finish up and go to the set.”

Su Tuantuan hadn’t even fully processed the situation when Meng Han threw a paper bag at her. “You reek of alcohol. You were secretly drinking again. You’ll get Alzheimer’s when you’re old! I brought you breakfast. Hurry up and eat, then get to work!”

After scolding her, Meng Han slammed the door shut with a loud smack.

Su Tuantuan nearly got hit in the face.

She held the paper bag, still a bit dazed. After washing up, she changed into clothes that were easy to put on and take off. She opened the breakfast bag. Meng Han had brought her preserved egg and shredded lean pork congee, along with a pancake.

The congee was still warm.

She took it out to cool. Thinking about Meng Han’s attitude, she felt something was off. Shouldn’t…

…she be looking down on her and considering recasting the role?

She opened her phone.

After being turned off all night, the phone vibrated for a long time. Mo Xian had called her over a hundred times and sent numerous video and voice calls. Everyone was looking for her.

Bai Xue left her several messages.

Bai Xue: “Su Tuantuan, you idiot! You think this is how you can protect me? How can you be so stupid!”

Bai Xue: “Su Tuantuan, why are you pretending to be a saint? Do I need this kind of protection from you? Can’t you be a little smarter?”

Sun Qiushuang, Jiang Zhizhi, and Qiao Yanran were all looking for her.

Sun Qiushuang: “Damn it, I’m going to rip off Wu Ziqi’s skin so he’ll never dare to harass you again! What kind of person dares to mess with my friend!”

Jiang Zhizhi: “Tuantuan, I can’t help with anything else, but I’ve talked to my manager. I stand by you unconditionally!”

Qiao Yanran: “Sister, are you okay? If you need me, I’m here anytime.”

Su Tuantuan paused, then opened Weibo.

Sure enough, after she posted her message, the netizens exploded.

Su Tuantuan had stirred up a hornet’s nest. When Wu Ziqi tried to frame them, he never thought Su Tuantuan would have kept evidence.

Su Tuantuan thought the spotlight would criticize her.

But to her surprise, the comments were thanking her.

Many casual fans immediately reposted Su Tuantuan’s Weibo.

: “Am I the only one who noticed she was threatened and harmed? For a girl like that, even if she leveraged some popularity, I wouldn’t care at all.”

: “If she had used that incident to gain popularity back then, she would have been even more famous and gained more goodwill, but then everyone would have laughed at Mo Xian.”

: “So, if the rumors weren’t so outrageous, if people weren’t saying Mo Xian was a womanizer who slept with everyone and harmed her best friend, she still wouldn’t have said anything.”

Qiao Yanran’s repost also made it to the trending topics.

Qiao Yanran: “Girl, you are so brave.”

This trending topic further reduced the controversy around Su Tuantuan. Most people felt that if they were in her shoes, they might have asked Mo Xian for more.

She only leveraged her popularity a few times.

Su Tuantuan was already twenty-five years old.

Her talent had gone unnoticed for so long, requiring her to leverage popularity before she could join a show and gain recognition.

They felt she was forgivable.

Watching these comments, Su Tuantuan’s eyes welled up for some reason.

She starred in her first TV series at eighteen and was already a Triple Gold Award winner by twenty-five. The most frequent comments she heard were—

: “How does she even qualify? She’s only been in so few TV shows. Compared to all those veterans, how did she win the award?”

: “Must be through connections. Is her acting still not up to par compared to those masters? She’s better than many young actors, but… this is too exaggerated.”

She had rolled in the mud, climbed tall buildings without safety harnesses, and her body was bruised all over from filming action scenes, but when she finally held the trophy, some people said she was worse than a vase.

A vase at least had a pure smile.

And she was condemned to death just because of a few dirty rumors.

: “Her former agent hinted at it, saying she was promiscuous and loved clinging to powerful figures. You can’t achieve this without some tricks.”

: “People who like her are still plentiful. Who cares about her character? She’s just a social butterfly. The marketing accounts were right after all.”

Su Tuantuan bit into her pancake to stop herself from crying out loud, but the continuously refreshing comments on her phone made her tears keep falling.

: “I think Su Tuantuan is amazing and a great actress. Everyone, what do you look at in an actress if not her acting skills?”

: “Exactly! I also love Tuantuan! Hahaha, I hope Tuantuan acts more and infuriates those scumbags!!!”

Sun Qiushuang: “Everyone, I told you I’m a good judge of character. The female lead in my next drama is Su Tuantuan. The script is tailor-made. Where Tuantuan goes, I follow!”

Su Tuantuan wiped away her tears and laughed.

The reflection in the mirror was un-made up. Her tear-streaked face, with her expression uncontrolled, looked quite messy.

But she was very happy right now.

“Su Tuantuan—”

She reached out to the mirror. “Thank you for letting me come into this world.”
