Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Chu Weiwei froze, thinking she was hallucinating.

"Brother Youjun, you terminated your contract with Sister Mengtang? Is this... because of what happened yesterday? Actually, it's nothing. Sister Mengtang was probably too busy at the time, so she accidentally forgot."

"But 'The Wrongful Conviction' was tailor-made for you, Brother Youjun, by Sister Mengtang. If you don't act in it, this project can't continue."

But what Chu Weiwei was thinking was that if Cheng Youjun didn't act, then Meng Tang's drama wouldn't be able to start filming for a while.

Now that the funds are in place, will they be able to reach her?

So while comforting Cheng Youjun, she intentionally or unintentionally revealed in her words that she wanted Cheng Youjun to discuss with Meng Tang about transferring the funds to "Ten Thousand Heartbeats".

But Cheng Youjun's expression was not good. "Meng Tang is really crazy today. Unless she kneels down in front of me and begs me, I will absolutely not go back."

Chu Weiwei realized that Cheng Youjun must have had a big argument with Meng Tang just now, so she shouldn't try to persuade him too much, otherwise it would only make Cheng Youjun resentful.

"Although I'm new to Hongke, I've heard from others that Sister Mengtang really likes Brother Youjun, and she even became a director for you."

"Could it be because you spoke up for me yesterday, Brother Youjun, that made Sister Mengtang jealous, and that's why she deliberately terminated the contract with you today to spite you?"

As she spoke, Chu Weiwei said with deep remorse, "It's all my fault. Not only was I unable to help you, Brother Youjun, but I also caused a conflict between you and Sister Mengtang. I'll go and explain to Sister Mengtang right now..."

Cheng Youjun pulled her back, looking at Chu Weiwei with extremely gentle eyes, "Weiwei, you are always so understanding. This is not your problem, it is that woman Meng Tang who is playing tricks again. Don't pay attention to her."

How's your investment going?

Mentioning this, Chu Weiwei shook her head in frustration, "I've been away from Jiangcheng for too long, I don't know anyone here, and I really can't figure things out in a short time."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to complete my first project with Red Hacker."

Cheng Youjun suddenly remembered something. "Don't worry, I'm here. By the way, Qiannuo Media will be holding a birthday banquet for its daughter the day after tomorrow. I have an invitation. Weiwei, you can go with me as my dance partner."

"The first drama I filmed after entering the entertainment industry was invested in by Qiannuo Media. It was well received and brought Qiannuo a considerable profit."

"I'll introduce you to them then. Qiannuo Media is much richer than Haihui. If Qiannuo takes a liking to your project, the amount they invest will definitely far exceed that of 'The Washing Away of Wrongs'."

As he spoke, Cheng Youjun patted the back of her hand with confidence to encourage her: "Besides, Weiwei, you are a professional director who graduated from Jianying University. Whether it is ability or professionalism, you far surpass Meng Tang."

"I believe that as long as the funding is in place, your first drama will definitely be a hit and make you a household name in the industry."

Chu Weiwei gave a slightly embarrassed smile, "Thank you, Brother Youjun. If it weren't for your constant help, I don't know if I could have persevered."

"By the way, since you're not acting in 'The Forensic Heroes' anymore, your schedule is now free, right? Why don't you come to my production team? I think the male lead role in 'Ten Thousand Heartbeats' is a perfect match for your temperament, Brother Youjun."

Cheng Youjun was more than willing to act with his sweetheart and agreed immediately.

In an attempt to regain some ground, Cheng Youjun deliberately swaggered into the office with Chu Weiwei and told everyone that he was going to sign a contract for the contemporary idol drama directed by Chu Weiwei.

After leaving the company, Meng Tang went straight to Xinniqing Bar.

Meng Tang skillfully made her way to the most secluded booth.

Li Su had arrived long ago and had even started drinking.

She elegantly swirled her wine glass at Meng Tang, "I'd give you 99 points for today's performance; I'm afraid you'll get arrogant if I give you one more."

"I failed to anger Cheng Youjun, that gigolo, to death. I'm still below par. I can't be arrogant. I need to keep trying."

Meng Tang commented on today's performance with great regret.

Li Su ordered her a Zombie, which had a strong pineapple juice flavor, paired with the aroma of rum. It was low in alcohol and wouldn't make her drunk easily, making it a perfect drink for women.

"Let's not talk about that unlucky guy anymore. Tell me all about what happened between you and Song Guanting last night."

Meng Tang sipped the fruit wine before slowly beginning her explanation.

Li Su laughed so hard she almost fell over.

We were having a great time chatting when my phone rang.

Meng Tang glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and didn't really want to answer.

Li Su glanced at it twice, "It was your cheapskate father who called? It can't be anything good."

Although the Meng family is not as powerful as the Song family, they are still well-known in Jiangcheng's high society.

But the Meng family did something that made the entire upper class laugh and cry.

That was the mother of the original owner of Meng Tang's body. After giving birth to the original owner, the nanny who served her switched the baby with the baby.

The nanny switched her daughter with the daughter of the Meng family.

Thus, the original owner became the nanny's daughter, while the real nanny's daughter, Meng Yurou, transformed into the Meng family's heiress.

Until three months ago, Meng Yurou was involved in a minor car accident while traveling.

They urgently needed a blood transfusion, and the Meng couple rushed to donate blood, only to find that their blood types did not match.

The doctor also said that if the child is biologically related, the child's blood type must match either the father's or the mother's.

But if neither of those is true, then there's only one possibility—

So, the Meng couple did a paternity test, which showed that Meng Yurou was not their biological daughter.

Upon further investigation, they discovered the theft of the dragon and the replacement of the phoenix years ago.

Before the Meng couple could even hold anyone accountable, the nanny committed suicide.

Although Meng Yurou is not the biological daughter of the Meng family, they have raised her for twenty-five years and have developed feelings for her.

Moreover, the nanny committed suicide out of guilt, but the child was innocent.

Therefore, the Meng couple decided to acknowledge Meng Tang as their biological daughter, while Meng Yurou would remain in the Meng family as the second young lady.

After the original owner returned to the Meng family, although she was their biological daughter, she always felt out of place in the family.

Originally, it was Meng Yurou who was supposed to marry into the Song family, but since the original owner of this body has returned, it's no longer Meng Yurou's turn to marry into the family, even though she's a fake heiress.

The original owner was designed as a stupid female supporting character, so of course she couldn't outsmart Meng Yurou.

Having been framed by Meng Yurou time and again, the Meng family believed that the original owner was a jealous, vicious, and ignorant country girl who couldn't tolerate Meng Yurou.

In the original story, the original owner was neglected and treated differently even after returning to the Meng family, which is why she fell deeply in love with Cheng Youjun, who had helped her once.

Fortunately, Meng Tang married into the Song family as soon as she transmigrated, so she could legitimately avoid returning to the Meng family that favored their adopted daughter.

Meng Tang didn't answer the first call, but the other party persisted and kept calling.

Meng Tang slid the answer button and immediately said sarcastically, "It's rare that Chairman Meng still remembers his daughter."
