The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

An Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

[Phew~ I'm so grateful. Thank you for being there. Since you've already saved me, I don't need to anymore, right?]

An Ling recognized the girl who was speaking; her name was Yu Chaona, and she was Gu Chenming's rumored girlfriend, or more accurately, his rumored romantic partner.

In fact, Yu Chaona has a real boyfriend in private. She and Gu Chenming only became popular because they had worked together on a drama before. They were the official couple in the drama, but the ending was tragic. As a result, many fans who were disappointed in the ending of the drama created a lot of popularity for both of them. So, for the sake of the drama, the two of them also promoted themselves as a couple for a period of time.

An Ling was very unhappy about this at the time and made a scene in front of Gu Chenming. Of course, the result was that Gu Chenming got angry and gave her the cold shoulder because An Ling was being unreasonable. Then An Ling apologized to Gu Chenming and asked for his forgiveness.

Even though it was only two years ago, recalling it feels like a lifetime ago. Anling can't understand why she acted that way back then. Instead, she feels that her current state is a normal state, like waking up from a dream.

Seeing Gu Chenming and Yu Chaona together, An Ling finally remembered that they were at this resort filming a second time!

Even though two years have passed, the fanbase for the Gu Chenming and Yu Chaona pairing remains strong. So when they announced their second collaboration, the fans were overjoyed, as if it were New Year's Day. The drama also benefited from this, with many people anticipating it even during filming. If all goes well, Gu Chenming and Yu Chaona will likely continue to be the focus of fan hype for quite some time.

However, as the saying goes, if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is bound to happen.

Because Yu Chaona was about to be involved in a scandal, the movie needed to replace her. Under Gu Chenming's manipulation, the role of Yu Chaona was eventually given to Qiu Nian, who is now the true heiress of the An family. The investors and producers felt that this was a win-win situation.

In the original storyline, when An Ling saw that Gu Chenming and Qiu Nian were going to act together, she immediately went crazy and objected. After her objections were ignored, she even wanted to join the cast and get a role herself, but because she was still recovering from illness, the An family sternly rejected her request.

Judging by the timeline, Yu Chaona's incident is about to happen, right?

[Some juicy gossip is in the air! I didn't expect to get this unexpected treat during my visit!]

[Yu Chaona, I really can't bear to argue with you now, since I'm about to witness your drama unfold, and it feels like I've forgotten who dug the well after drinking the water.]

But I still have to act.

An Ling crossed her arms in front of her chest, adopting a distant and defensive posture, and looked at Yu Chaona with her chin raised and eyes slightly narrowed, her face showing displeasure.

"Is it any of your business what I do with Chenming? It's just a publicity stunt, and you're acting like he's my real girlfriend?"

“Although I’m not your official girlfriend, aren’t you the same? Some people just like to treat a fake identity as real, don’t they, Miss An?” Yu Chaona retorted without backing down. “Oh, wait, I guess I can’t call you Miss An anymore. I wonder when you’re going to change your name and return to your roots?”

Why are you being so sarcastic? What grudge do I have against this Yu Chaona?

[It turns out that because of Gu Chenming, netizens always compare the two of us to see who will win Gu Chenming's heart. They even started a poll, and I won in the end. As a result, Yu Chaona started to dislike me. Plus, now that I'm a fake heiress, she feels that with her sugar daddy protecting her, she has no reason to be afraid of me. So whenever she sees me, she wants to say something sarcastic.]

【That's it? That's it? 】

[If you want to win, then win. I wouldn't even want the blessing of being with Gu Chenming.]

No matter how much she cursed inwardly, An Ling pretended to be enraged, revealing a slightly embarrassed and angry expression. "You!"

[Isn't it time for Gu Chenming to speak up and stop it?]

【3, 2, 1! 】

"Alright," Gu Chenming frowned and looked at An Ling with disapproval, just as An Ling had expected. "After all these years, you still haven't gotten rid of your habit of using your status to intimidate others?"

【Master Qingtang, when have I ever used my status to bully others? Whenever I have a conflict with someone and try to argue with you, you give me this same excuse. The reason people say I'm abusing my power is because of your mouth!】

So, it seems I can only criticize others and I can't argue back!

While cursing Gu Chenming as a bastard in her heart, An Ling showed a hurt expression, then sadly lowered her head and whispered, "I understand."

Seeing this, Yu Chaona strutted into the elevator with Gu Chenming in a triumphant manner, pushing An Ling aside.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Yun Shurui was utterly astonished by An Ling's "two-facedness," so much so that she was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak up in time to defend An Ling.

If it weren't for being able to hear her thoughts, she would have really thought that An Ling was still acting like a simp, just like before. Now it seems that she has no need to worry about that at all.

Once Yun Shurui confirmed that An Ling was no longer a simp, she felt this was definitely the best birthday gift she had received this year.

Although Yun Shurui didn't know why An Ling still had to put on this act in public, she must have her reasons. As long as she knew that An Ling actually despised Gu Chenming, Yun Shurui would feel relieved.

Gu Chenming and Yu Chaona had been focused on An Ling, and since Yun Shurui was wearing a baseball cap, they only realized that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was also there when they entered the elevator.

Gu Chenming had heard rumors that the two had reconciled, but Yu Chaona thought they should be at odds. How could they be at the resort together?

"Shu Rui? What a coincidence, what are you doing here?" Yu Chaona had worked with Yun Shu Rui before, so she greeted her as if they were old friends.

Yun Shurui could still maintain the superficial politeness she would show to someone she didn't know well, but now that this person was mocking An Ling in front of her, she certainly wouldn't give her a friendly look. "Of course I came here on vacation with Xiao Ling."

Yu Chaona naturally knew that Yun Shurui's change in attitude towards her was definitely because of An Ling, but unlike An Ling, Yun Shurui was the genuine eldest daughter of the Yun family, and Yu Chaona could still tell the situation clearly.

Instead of directly confronting her, she smiled and said to Yun Shurui:

"It seems I'm behind on the news. I always thought the two of you weren't on good terms. I didn't expect you to travel together. But the timing of your reconciliation is too coincidental. Could it be that some people are begging for peace with you now that their imposter identities have been exposed?"

She probably realized she couldn't rely on her family anymore, so she thought of relying on her friends. I was just trying to be helpful, but I warned her not to get scammed.

After Yu Chaona finished speaking, she glanced at An Ling, and everyone present knew who she was referring to.

"Are we that close?" Yun Shurui wasn't buying it at all. "I have my own eyes and I don't need outsiders to tell me who I'm friends with. Besides, if Xiaoling wants to rely on me, I'd be happy to do so. What's it to you?"

The two couldn't agree on anything, and since they happened to be staying on the same floor of the hotel, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Yun Shurui wanted to pull An Ling out first to get away from the other two guys she didn't like. But when she grabbed An Ling's hand and pulled, she couldn't budge her.

An Ling remained motionless, and instead pulled Yun Shurui back forcefully. This delay allowed the other two people to leave the elevator first.

Yun Shurui was puzzled and was about to ask a question when An Ling loosened her grip and pulled her to follow Gu Chenming and Yu Chaona. After Yu Chaona entered the room, An Ling glanced at the number on Yu Chaona's door.

[1208, got it, hehe, there's going to be a good show tomorrow night.]
