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

"But thinking about it, it seems pretty unfair," Yun Shurui complained to An Ling.

"It's clear that these people did some outrageous things, but the biggest impact is on Yao You, Yu Chaona, and Song Yiyun in the entertainment industry. Yao You might be okay; although she will be affected, she shouldn't be unable to continue working in the entertainment industry. But who will hire Yu Chaona and Song Yiyun to act in movies after this? They'll probably have to pay all sorts of breach of contract penalties."

“I’m not pitying them,” Yun Shurui quickly added, realizing her words sounded ambiguous. “They deserve to pay the price for doing such outrageous things. I just feel that Tao Ranyi and Lü Xiansong are also extremely outrageous, but for them, it’s just losing face. They might still do such things in the future, as if they don’t have to pay any price.”

“Yes,” An Ling nodded, “After all, they are not public figures. As long as the Lü and Tao families can tolerate them, they will still be rich kids.”

[In fact, Lü Xiansong and Tao Ranyi thought the same thing. Although they felt they had lost face big time, they never thought they would pay any price for it. After all, they were the youngest children of their generation in their families, with older brothers and sisters supporting them. They had only ever been pampered since childhood, and their families would never scold them unless they did something particularly outrageous.]

However, they didn't realize that they had crossed the line with the Lü and Tao families. Although they had always been unreliable, at least they hadn't made their unreliability public, so the Lü and Tao families had turned a blind eye.

After all, neither family expected these two individuals to bring honor to their clans. They just wanted them to live peacefully—no, not even that—as long as they kept quiet, didn't cause trouble, and didn't embarrass the family. Who knew they couldn't even meet such a simple request?

[It's one thing for the couple to each have their own affairs and keep mistresses, but to both keep the same person, with one of them also keeping the mistress's boyfriend, is a huge scandal even in the entertainment industry. Let alone the fact that this scandal was broadcast live online, making it known to everyone, is even more shocking. Lü Xiansong and Tao Ranyi have not only lost face themselves, but they've also brought shame upon the entire Lü and Tao families!]

That's how it is in wealthy families. Some things happen and that's it. Even if everyone knows the truth, as long as it's not exposed in public, it can be treated as if nothing happened.

Being filmed at the scene means there's video evidence, which can be used repeatedly to expose wrongdoing. In this situation, neither party can afford to turn a blind eye.

However, if it were in the past, they might have just given him a minor punishment like suspending his card, but things are different now. Because Lu Xiansong and Tao Ranyi, those two unreliable people, have a reliable son. As soon as their son was born, they left him with the old man of the Lu family to raise, and the couple went off to live their own happy lives without caring about the child at all.

Fortunately, because of this, their son was raised very well by the old man and is clearly the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Lü and Tao families. The old man intends to groom him as the next heir.

He is now of marriageable age, and his grandfather is already looking for a marriage partner. At such a crucial moment, his biological parents have been exposed for such outrageous things, which is a huge blow to him who is about to get married.

Which family of equal social standing would be willing to marry their daughter to the son of parents like that? Soon, several families who had initially expressed interest all backed out, finding various excuses to withdraw their intentions regarding the marriage alliance with the Lü family. Old Master Lü was also furious about this incident. In the original storyline, he cut off all financial support to the couple and sent them both to the African branch office.

Knowing that the two hadn't escaped unscathed, Yun Shurui felt much better. It was definitely more enjoyable to follow a story with a beginning and an end.

The two then went back to their room to rest, but the farce in room 1208 seemed to continue until midnight without being resolved.

The next day, when everyone woke up, the main characters were nowhere to be seen, but this did not dampen their enthusiasm for gossip. Not only did those who had witnessed the event keep sharing details with their friends and family, but the online buzz about the incident continued even after An Ling and Yun Shurui had returned to Haicheng.

When An Ling returned home, she found that only Pei Yuning and Qiu Nian were there. As soon as Pei Yuning saw An Ling, she pestered her to tell her about any other gossip she had missed at the hotel.

Pei Yuning's original intention in doing this was not to gossip, because she had watched the live broadcast and thought she had thoroughly understood the gossip, so she did not expect to get any new information out of her. Her main purpose was to take this opportunity to let An Ling and Qiu Nian talk and communicate more.

An Ling thought they really wanted to gossip, so she told them how Song Yiyun and her group got into room 1208. When Yao You knocked on the door, the paparazzi hadn't started their live stream yet, so many people didn't know what had happened at that time.

"So, it really was Yao You and Song Yiyun who conspired beforehand and deliberately placed the bracelet in Yu Chaona's room?"

Pei Yuning felt that she could not understand Yao You's thoughts at all.

"What was she thinking? If she had only told Song Yiyun that she saw Yu Chaona seemingly cheating and hadn't gotten involved in what happened afterward, then even though this matter has blown up so much now, it wouldn't have much to do with her. Now she's like an accomplice to Song Yiyun, even if it's secondary responsibility, she'll still be implicated. No wonder she couldn't even keep her second female lead role."

"She didn't get the second female lead role? Mom, how did you know?" An Ling asked suspiciously.

[I haven't even checked the follow-up yet, has Mom already become so engrossed in this gossip that she's not missing a single clue?]

"Because the director has started looking for actresses to submit scripts again, the scenes for the female lead and the second female lead all need to be reshot with new actresses," Pei Yuning explained.

"It seems the director is interested in having the two of you film it. That's why I asked Xiao Nian to come here today. I wanted to ask you both what you think. I've looked at it, and the script and cast are pretty good. The director is also quite good. The director's idea is to have Xiao Ling play the female lead and Xiao Nian play the supporting role."

[The director is so quick! But then again, it must have been Gu Chenming who suggested it to him. This development isn't much different from the original plot, except that in the original plot, they only looked for Qiu Nian, not me.]

[What to do, what to do? Emotionally, I don't want Qiu Nian and Gu Chenming to have any contact, but for the sake of this world's plot, they definitely need to meet first. After all, if the male and female leads don't know each other, this world will definitely be in chaos... That person gave me a second chance to be reborn in order to smoothly bring the male and female leads together.]

Pei Yuning and Qiu Nian were listening intently to An Ling's thoughts. When An Ling said that she didn't want Qiu Nian to have any contact with Gu Chenming, they thought she still had feelings for Gu Chenming. Unexpectedly, a very vague sentence came out later that they couldn't hear at all.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

What did An Ling just say?

What would happen to the world if the male and female protagonists didn't know each other?
