Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 65

The large portrait covering the entire wall was slashed with a giant cross, its torn corner hanging limply like a dying breath. The photo wall had been splashed with multicolored paint, and fallen photographs lay silently submerged in the “river of paint” on the floor. The timeline cards had all been snapped in half, most of them also drowning in the paint. The acrylic display case had been toppled and shattered…

It was as though a disaster had struck, the once neat and orderly room was now filthy and in disarray.

Ruined. Truly ruined. Everything was ruined.

This must be a dream. It had to be just a dream. She must still be dreaming.

Wen Wen steadied herself against the wall, scanning the room before her gaze finally settled on a wooden splinter at her feet likely a fragment from the shattered drawing board. She bent down, picked it up, and without hesitation, dragged it across her palm. Blood welled up from the cut, flowing freely.

Pain. Excruciating pain.

Wen Wen slid weakly to the floor, tears suddenly spilling from her eyes.

Not a dream. Ruined. Truly ruined.

Everything was ruined.

Despair surged toward her like a tidal wave, swallowing her whole in an instant.

When had she ever felt like this before?

Never.

Even back when she learned Jiang Chi was with Su Jing, what she had felt was mostly endless agony.

At that time, though she loved Jiang Chi, she also knew there wasn’t just one wall between them. She could break one down, but another would always rise in its place. But that was fine. She comforted herself, she only needed to stay by the sun’s side.

As long as she could remain by Jiang Chi’s side, that was enough.

But now, everything she had once possessed.

Why had it come to this?

It shouldn’t have been like this.

Everything had been fine just moments ago…

You didn’t actually think that telling me all this would make me weep with gratitude, did you? That I’d thank you for loving me so much?

Sis, let’s make up, okay~?

Then let me tell you, I don’t feel that way at all. Everything you’ve done just proves you’re nothing but a narcissist who loves wallowing in self-pity.

Sis, welcome home! Come here, let me kiss you!

“Ah!”

The stark contrast between Jiang Chi’s demeanor over the past two days replayed in her mind, alternating between cruelty and sweetness until a sharp scream pierced through her thoughts. All the mocking words and honeyed phrases vanished, leaving only the wreckage before her eyes.

The housekeeper knelt before Wen Wen, staring in shock and helplessness at her bleeding palm. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally managed to speak. “Miss Wen, you, I’ll go get the first aid kit.”

The housekeeper quickly returned with the kit and knelt to clean and bandage the wound.

For a long time, Wen Wen didn’t move. Even when the antiseptic stung the cut, only her fingers twitched slightly.

Once the wound was dressed, the housekeeper sighed quietly. “M-Miss Wen, don’t sit here. Let me help you back to your room to rest.”

Wen Wen’s eyes, which had been fixed blankly in one direction, finally shifted. Tears burst forth anew, but she didn’t look at the housekeeper. Instead, she asked slowly, “Auntie… when she left, did she… ask you to pass along any message?”

The housekeeper hesitated. ” I didn’t see Miss Jiang today.”

Wen Wen had instructed the housekeeper not to come over to cook today, only needing to arrive later to clean the house. When the housekeeper arrived, Jiang Chi was already gone.

If she had been there, she would have desperately tried to stop Jiang Chi from wrecking the room.

As the housekeeper who had worked for Wen Wen ever since she moved out to live alone, she knew just how important this room was to Wen Wen.

Every day before work, Wen Wen would take a look inside the room, and after work, she would walk around it again. She loved spending entire days in there when she had nothing else to do, always reminding the housekeeper to be extra, extra careful when cleaning…

How could Miss Jiang be so cruel!

But these words, the housekeeper only dared to think them in her heart.

Knowing how precious Miss Jiang was to Miss Wen, she naturally wouldn’t say a single bad word about Jiang Chi in front of Wen Wen.

Just as she was about to speak again, Wen Wen’s phone suddenly buzzed violently.

Wen Wen finally stirred, picking up her phone to glance at it.

It was Su Jing calling.

As she was about to answer, she suddenly thought of something and looked up. “Auntie, I’m fine. If you’re done, you can head back early. I’ll just stay here for a while.”

The housekeeper hesitated several times but finally said, “Miss Wen, no matter what, please don’t hurt yourself anymore, okay?”

Wen Wen lowered her head to look at her neatly bandaged palm and nodded slightly. “Thank you. I won’t.”

The housekeeper: “I still have some work left. I’ll be outside if you need anything.”

Wen Wen: “Okay, thank you.”

After the housekeeper left, Wen Wen answered the call. The moment she heard the voice on the other end, her pupils constricted sharply.

“I don’t like Wen Wen, and I’m not with her. Brother Su Jing, you have to believe me!”

It was Jiang Chi’s voice.

Wen Wen had already guessed Su Jing’s intention in making this call.

She should have hung up immediately. Unable to explain her own psychology, Wen Wen turned on speakerphone, placed the phone on the floor, and listened as if it were a broadcast.

The line was silent for a few seconds before Su Jing’s voice came through. “Then why did you go out of your way to please Wen Wen?”

Jiang Chi pouted slightly, looking aggrievedly at the seated man. “Of course, it was for you! Doesn’t she like you too? As the saying goes, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ You know how popular you are first there’s Bai Yuetong, who just won’t leave, and now there’s Wen Wen eyeing you like a tiger. And she’s not even in the same league as Bai Yuetong. Naturally, I had to figure out what she was up to.”

“But then I found out she actually likes me! I don’t know what she was thinking, we’re the same gender!”

“But this works out! Now I don’t have to worry about her stealing you from me. Brother Su Jing, don’t be mad at me anymore, okay? I like you. I’ve said it before, I only like you! Really! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to see you today!”

Su Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. “So, why did you come to see me today?”

Jiang Chi leaned closer to him, putting on a sweet, pleading expression as she tugged at Su Jing’s sleeve. “Today’s my mom’s birthday banquet. Come back with me, and then let’s make it official, okay?”

Su Jing looked mildly shocked. “Make it official?”

Jiang Chi nodded eagerly. “Yeah! That way, the whole world will know you’re mine! Okay? Don’t be mad at me anymore! You still like me, don’t you?”

“Isn’t it good? It was all my fault before, I’m sorry, sorry, sorry! All those harsh words I said to you were just to make it convincing, they absolutely weren’t my true feelings!”

“Will you come back with me? My mother would be so happy too.”

Su Jing stared at her.

His intuition had been right, Jiang Chi had indeed come crawling back to him just like before.

Earlier when he told Jiang Chi that Bai Yuetong had agreed to be with him, it wasn’t true at all.

After hearing Jiang Chi’s conditions, Bai Yuetong not only didn’t agree but formally broke up with him instead.

The breakup came completely unexpectedly. When Su Jing pressed for reasons, Bai Yuetong refused to say anything, no calls answered, no messages replied, no meetings accepted. But he quickly figured out why. Bai Yuetong simply didn’t believe Jiang Chi would make such a generous offer. After all, how could anyone in this world willingly give their beloved to a love rival while also guaranteeing that rival’s future?

Only a complete fool or someone with ulterior motives would make such a losing deal.

Su Jing had always known Bai Yuetong was very career-driven too, otherwise she wouldn’t have endured Jiang Chi’s repeated humiliations for her acting career. Of course, she did it for him as well.

He could understand Bai Yuetong’s fear of an uncertain future leading her to break up with him.

Just like how he’d repeatedly abandoned her to avoid Jiang Chi’s suspicions.

But now, everything was back on track.

If Jiang Chi was willing to return as his devoted follower, Bai Yuetong would surely come back to him. Then he could proceed with the original plan, marry Jiang Chi, gradually take over the Jiang family’s assets, and once successful, give Yuetong the secure future she deserved.

During this time, he’d carefully reevaluated the two women in his life. Having lost both simultaneously, it was Bai Yuetong’s image that lingered persistently in his mind, he kept recalling all their beautiful memories together.

He still wanted a future with Bai Yuetong.

“I can go back with you, but this is too sudden, I haven’t prepared anything for your mother.”

“No need!” Jiang Chi linked arms with him, pulling him along. “I’ve prepared everything! I’ll tell Mom it’s all from you! You just need to come with me.”

“Alright, wait my phone.” Su Jing grabbed his phone from the table and handed it to Jiang Chi. “This outfit isn’t convenient for carrying a phone today. Put it in your bag.”

Jiang Chi froze in disbelief.

Su Jing tapped her nose gently. “What’s that dazed look? Don’t want to?”

“No! I do!” Jiang Chi immediately snapped out of it, carefully placing his phone in her bag. “Just tell me whenever you need to use it!”

Su Jing patted her head. “Good girl.”

As the car headed toward the Jiang residence, the atmosphere inside was light and sweet like they’d returned to their early dating days when one was always tenderly indulgent and the other playfully amusing.

Only Jiang Chi herself knew how nauseating she found this act beyond the script’s control. But even more overwhelming were the torrential emotions of fear, pain, and despair that kept drowning her.

She personally destroyed her sister’s room, the very room her sister had said was her emotional pillar. Yet she still destroyed it, with her own hands, bit by bit, using a drawing board to dismantle it completely.

She begged and pleaded, she resisted with all her might, but it was useless. The force of the plot still made her do it.

In the face of absolute narrative control, everything she did was futile.

Had Wen Wen discovered the ruined room yet? If she had, would she still come to the party?

Would her sister… ever forgive her?

The party wouldn’t start until the afternoon, and it was still early. On the Jiang estate’s lawn, only the staff could be seen setting up the venue.

Jiang Chi led Su Jing into the house, walked up behind Liu Ci, and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind. “Mom, your beloved daughter is back!”

“I thought…” Liu Ci turned around with a smile, but the moment she saw Su Jing, her words faltered. Her expression shifted briefly before she forced another smile, her tone teasing. “I thought you’d forgotten my birthday, you silly girl!”

“Mom, how could you think that? I’m your most considerate little sweetheart~”

Liu Ci joked, “More like a drafty little sweetheart.”

“Mom!” Jiang Chi pretended to be offended.

Seizing the moment, Su Jing stepped forward with a gift. “Auntie, happy birthday.”

Liu Ci’s smile stiffened for a second before she accepted it graciously. “Thank you, Xiao Su. Could you do me a favor and check on the setup outside? I’m a bit swamped here.”

Su Jing agreed readily.

Once he had disappeared inside, Liu Ci gave a few instructions to the staff before pulling Jiang Chi into a private room.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Chi knew exactly what Liu Ci was referring to, but the version of her under the plot’s control did not. “What do you mean?”

Liu Ci didn’t beat around the bush. “Why did you bring Su Jing back?”

“Su Jing is my boyfriend,” Jiang Chi said with a laugh, hugging Liu Ci with an innocent expression. “How could I not bring your future son-in-law to my dear mother’s birthday party? Who else would I bring?”

Liu Ci frowned. “Sweetheart, have you forgotten what you said before? You told me you didn’t like Su Jing anymore, that you were in love with a girl, that you two were already together. Now…”

“Baby,” Liu Ci said seriously, staring straight at Jiang Chi, “do you have some kind of leverage over Su Jing?”

“Of course not, Mom. Don’t overthink it,” Jiang Chi said breezily. “I was just joking around in the hospital. How could I suddenly like a girl?”

The room fell silent for a long moment, broken only by the occasional shouts of the staff outside.

Liu Ci seemed especially conflicted, hesitating several times before speaking.

Jiang Chi kept smiling at her mother. “Mom, what is it? You can tell me anything, can’t you? Hmm?”

“Sweetheart, do you really not like Wen Wen? Mom thinks she’s a good girl, and she likes you so much.”

Whether it was the real Jiang Chi or the one controlled by the plot, hearing Wen Wen’s name from Liu Ci’s lips was a genuine shock. She cut in sharply, “Mom? I don’t think I ever told you that girl was Wen Wen.”

“Mom, how did you know about Wen Wen?”
