Chapter 740 Husband Falls in Love with His Mother's Unjustly Accused Daughter 8
When she picked up the key to open the door, she found that she couldn't open it no matter what she did.
Wang Shubi immediately had a bad feeling, and she immediately called Azhi.
"Hey, why can't I open the door with my key? What did you do? Did you change the locks?"
Ah Zhi was filming with Gu Meng, and she could have easily ignored Wang Shubi's call, but she answered it for the sake of the upcoming plans.
"I checked out of the house. The rent was too expensive. Mom, you don't need to live in such a big house by yourself. Grandma's inheritance doesn't have much money left."
"I've roughly calculated that I've spent several hundred thousand on you in the past two years. Take the money I gave you earlier and figure out how to rent a place yourself. I have other things to do, so I'll talk to you later."
Hundreds of thousands is not a small amount, let alone spending that much within two years.
Ah Zhi had only made a rough calculation, and it was impossible to get Wang Shubi to return the money.
She's a complete spendthrift; she's been spending lavishly all these years and has no money at all.
Ah Zhi was determined to force her to stop pretending to be aloof.
Now that she has lost both of her male confidants and is homeless, it seems she can no longer maintain her facade.
Just as Ah Zhi had guessed, Wang Shubi used the money in her hands to rent a house and had to ask someone to borrow money.
During this period, she contacted Azhi several times, but Azhi brushed her off each time.
Looking at the photo of Wang Shubi and Lu Ji embracing in her email, Azhi's smile deepened.
Things are really interesting now. A month has passed, and Wang Shubi is struggling to make ends meet.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Wang Shubi felt very wronged after living a good life, but now she was suddenly living in poverty. In an instant, she felt resentful towards Azhi.
Azhi didn't care what Wang Shubi thought; she had to be Gu Meng's model every day and also deal with various exams.
Because Azhi became popular online, she became famous at school overnight, and everyone knew that An Yuan was a great beauty.
That day, Gu Meng rushed into the dormitory excitedly and said to Azhi, "Do you want to take a step forward? Do you want to become an actress? You can act in TV dramas? Or even act with Pu Jiashi!"
Ah Zhi was sitting on the bed, looking sleepy and yawning, seemingly lacking energy.
"What are you trying to do now? Is making me an internet celebrity not enough for you?"
Who would have thought that Gu Meng would stand with her hands on her hips, her face full of excitement?
"Of course! How could my sister's beauty be reduced to being an internet celebrity? I want you to be a star, an actress."
Ah Zhi lay on the bed, utterly dejected. "You're crazy! I have no acting skills. Making me an actress would just make me a pretty face."
"We're going to start with being a pretty face. Everyone starts out as a pretty face. No matter what role you play, as long as your beauty is highlighted, that's all that matters. Beauty conquers all."
"Okay, listen to you."
It turns out that the Gu family invested in a TV series that tells the life story of a stand-in empress.
The female protagonist is a young lady from an official family, who was raised in seclusion since childhood.
Her older sister was the empress. She should have lived a happy and wealthy life and found a suitable partner when she reached a certain age.
Who would have thought that the Empress would die of postpartum hemorrhage after giving birth to the Crown Prince? At this time, the female protagonist was arranged by her parents to enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection.
Faced with her parents' desperate pleas, she had no choice but to give up the man she loved, and from then on, the female protagonist began her palace intrigue.
At first, she wanted to support her nephew, but the young prince was murdered. The female lead began to turn evil and gradually went down a path of no return, eventually even slaying a dragon.
Gu Meng secured a supporting role for Azhi, namely the early-deceased, beloved Empress.
This role is quite important, and many people want to get it, since the Gu family invested money in it.
Gu Meng cried and screamed as she snatched it.
She puffed out her chest triumphantly, "The most beautiful woman in the capital, of course you should play the role. I'll cry and make a scene for this role. Yuan Yuan, are you happy?"
After listening to Gu Meng's description of the script, Azhi understood the importance of this role. For a newcomer to be given such a significant role right from the start, wasn't she just asking to be criticized?
"Are you sure you don't want me to get yelled at?"
"Beautiful, quiet, living in memories, the only major scene is the entrustment of the young emperor to his father before his death. You can also act opposite Pu Jiashi. The young emperor is Pu Jiashi. Don't worry, you won't get scolded."
"Pu Jiashi?"
Gu Meng nodded vigorously, "Yes, you and Pu Jiashi are such a perfect match. If you were in the same frame, the scene would be absolutely beautiful. Yuanyuan, you can definitely do it."
At this moment, Gu Meng held up her phone screen saver in front of Azhi.
The screen showed Pu Jiashi staring intently at Azhi.
This picture circulated online for a long time, and Azhi was also scolded by Pu Jiashi's fans for several days.
I never expected that Gu Meng would actually be made into a screensaver.
Ah Zhi covered her forehead, feeling helpless. "Are you crazy? Are you sure I won't be cursed to death by Pu Jiashi's fans? Right now, his fans are all accusing me of trying to ride on his coattails. If we were to appear on screen together, they might turn me into a lump of coal in the dirt."
"So what if you're dark-skinned? No one dares to call you ugly. In fact, many people say you're a good match. Believe me, being infamous is still being famous. I believe they will be just as captivated by your beauty as I am."
"Okay, stop talking, I'm getting goosebumps."
Just then, Lu Yiming sent a message.
Ah Zhi glanced at it and said, "Lu Yiming invited us to dinner for his birthday."
"No, he's not good enough for you now."
While busy making arrangements for Azhi, Gu Meng began to belittle her without even looking up.
"I think Lu Yiming is very low."
Gu Meng had previously said that Lu Yiming was a good match for Azhi, but now she can't stand Lu Yiming anymore.
Lu Yiming's pursuit was really perfunctory. Apart from giving Azhi two tickets earlier, he didn't actually do anything else.
Gu Meng wasn't stupid; she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She said seriously to Azhi, "You and Lu Yiming shouldn't get too close. There's something clearly wrong with him. I always feel like he has ulterior motives."
In her memory, Gu Meng had said something similar to the original owner, but the original owner didn't listen and thought Gu Meng was making a fuss over nothing.
Azhi smiled slightly and asked, "Then what do you think his purpose is? If it's not for me, then whose purpose is it?"
This stumped Gu Meng. She frowned slightly and shook her head, saying, "I don't know what his purpose is right now, but I feel like he does have a purpose. It's my intuition, and you have to believe me."
"If I don't believe you, who do I believe? Lu Yiming is just an outsider. I just want to know his true purpose. Let's go and see."
"Row."
Lu Yiming had failed to obtain Wang Shubi's contact information on the previous two occasions, so he planned to make good use of it this time on her birthday.
Ever since Ah Zhi became famous, Lu Yiming has felt a sense of crisis for some reason.
Especially seeing Ah Zhi's social media account with millions of views, each video receiving hundreds of thousands of likes, and the comments full of praise for Ah Zhi.
Lu Yiming became somewhat engrossed in watching the videos.
Gu Yu, who was standing to the side, glanced at her and asked curiously, "Why do you keep showing the same few videos over and over again? I know you like An Yuan, but if you continue to neglect her, she might be snatched away by someone else. Look at how many people like her. Someone even confessed to her a while ago."
Gu Meng's photography skills are excellent; every video showcases Azhi's most beautiful side, which deeply attracted Lu Yiming.
He began to take the girl in the video seriously.
It would be nice to be with her. When this thought popped into his mind, Lu Yiming couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
I never expected that I would actually fall for him.
Gu Yu shook his head when he saw Lu Yiming staring blankly.
Actually, he sometimes found Lu Yiming very strange. He would say he wanted to pursue An Yuan, but he didn't actually take any action. He seemed not to care much about it.
This left Gu Yu and Gu Meng somewhat bewildered by his actions.
What is this guy after?
Lu Yiming's birthday party was even better than Gu Meng's back then.
No one expected him to kneel down on one knee and confess his love to Azhi.
"An Yuan, I like you. From the first time I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you. I am a very slow-to-warm-up person, and I hope you can accept my confession."
Gu Meng came to her senses and became somewhat anxious. She jumped out and faced Lu Yiming with a wary expression.
"Why are you confessing your feelings out of the blue? Today is your birthday, let's blow out the cake first... no, let's blow out the candles first."
Gu Meng is now Azhi's agent, and she doesn't want Lu Yiming to hold her back.
If news were to spread at this time that Azhi and Lu Yiming were dating, it would have a huge impact. Gu Meng was even planning to have Azhi and Pu Jiashi create a romantic pairing.
Then I'll let my beautiful best friend conquer the world.
In Gu Meng's eyes, Lu Yiming was a rotten apple.
Before she could continue jumping up and down, Azhi took her hand, which stunned Gu Meng.
A single glance was enough for Gu Meng to know what A-Zhi was up to, but she still wanted to struggle a bit.
"Yuan Yuan..."
If I don't get together with Lu Yiming, how can I give him the opportunity to get close to Wang Shubi?
Ah Zhi wanted Lu Yiming and Wang Shubi to be utterly ruined.
She stepped forward, took Lu Yiming's bouquet, and nodded gently.
"I accept your confession. From now on, you will be my boyfriend."
Gu Meng wanted to rush up and say something, but Gu Yu quickly grabbed her.
"Forget it, grandma, it's their own business and none of your concern. Don't meddle."
Seeing Azhi and Lu Yiming hugging each other, Gu Meng gritted her teeth in resentment.
"That scumbag actually managed to lick my boots, how despicable."
After the birthday party ended, Azhi suggested to Lu Yiming, "I'll take you to meet my mother. After all, we're together now, okay?"
When Azhi accepted his confession, Lu Yiming felt a pleasant surprise.
Now, upon hearing that Ah Yao was going to take him to see Wang Shubi, he felt a strange mix of emotions.
Looking at the similar faces of Azhi and Wang Shubi, he couldn't even tell who he liked.
Before Lu Yiming could answer, Azhi asked him, "You don't want to?"
"willing."
Gu Meng had always disliked Lu Yiming.
Now that Lu Yiming has even abducted Azhi, Gu Meng's gaze towards him is filled with daggers.
Fortunately, Gu Yu was there to hold her back.
On the way back, Gu Meng asked Azhi, "Why did you agree to Lu Yiming's confession? You clearly don't like him as much as before, and I don't want you to wrong yourself."
Looking out the window, Azhi said calmly, "I guess she's a little unwilling. Maybe I'll get tired of it soon, so you don't need to worry. Who says you can't date while acting?"
"Okay, whatever makes you happy. But remember you have an interview next Monday, so make sure you get plenty of rest then."
"Okay, okay, Agent Gu, I understand."
Half a month later, Azhi took the initiative to contact Wang Shubi.
I thought the other party would be resentful and not answer the phone, but to my surprise, Ah Zhi called immediately and Wang Shubi answered quickly. It seems that she was really afraid of being poor.
"Yuan Yuan?"
"Mom, where do you live now?"
Hearing Azhi's voice, Wang Shubi felt resentful.
She had a tough time during that period; if Lu Ji hadn't given her a breakup fee, she wouldn't even have been able to pay her rent.
Wang Shubi originally wanted to find a job, but she didn't have a diploma and couldn't endure hardship at all, so she was rejected in the interview.
Even as a cashier, she can still make huge mistakes in calculating money.
If it were the pampered Wang Shubi of the past, she would definitely have returned Lu Ji's so-called breakup fee with great pride.
But now she's struggling to even make ends meet, so she has no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the money.
This made her feel incredibly humiliated, believing that it was Ah Zhi who had caused her such a miserable situation.
However, she still answered the phone when Ah Zhi called.
This time, Lu Ji didn't give her 200,000 yuan, but only 50,000 yuan, which was far from enough for Wang Shubi.
She still wanted to coax some money from Ah Zhi.
“I live in a house in the suburbs. What? You finally remember me? I thought you didn’t want me as your mother anymore. Yuan Yuan, you are so heartless. I am your mother. You are my only daughter. We are each other’s only family. You have hurt your mother too much.”
Wang Shubi on the other end of the phone sounded innocent and aggrieved, as if Azhi had done something heinous, and there was a hint of resentment in her words.
Azhi was still hoping the show would go smoothly when she calmly said, "Mom, you've spent a lot of money with me these past two years. Grandma did ask me to leave you some money, but now that you've spent it all, I naturally won't give you any more."
“You can’t afford the rent of 4,800 yuan. You’ve asked me for hundreds of thousands of yuan over the years. You should still have savings.”
Compared to ordinary families, Grandma An's savings are quite substantial.
Over the years, Wang Shubi has lived a life free from financial worries, and a normal person would certainly have some savings.
However, Wang Shubi was extravagant and didn't leave herself any way out.
Firstly, she wanted to find someone to rely on for life; she pursued love in the first half of her life, and now she wants to pursue material things in the second half.
She wanted to marry a good-looking man, and at the same time, she wanted him to be very wealthy.
