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

Pei Yuning thought about all the useful information she had extracted from An Ling's inner thoughts from the beginning until now, and the definite information she could now know was:

1. An Ling believes that this world is a novel, with Gu Chenming as the male protagonist and Qiu Nian as the female protagonist.

2. An Ling herself is a vicious female supporting character, and she maintains this simp persona that creates obstacles for the relationship between the male and female leads.

3. An Ling has to create obstacles for the relationship between the male and female protagonists, but at the same time, she must also make them get to know each other.

4. The unclear words just now seem to be the reason why An Ling had to do this, but this reason probably involves some secrets that are not convenient for others to know.

5. An Ling's rebirth was also to facilitate the meeting of the male and female protagonists.

Although Pei Yuning thought it was ridiculous that they lived in a novel world, the things that happened to An Ling were already outrageous, so she could only face it with the attitude of "better safe than sorry".

It seems I have no choice but to take this role.

Actually, the drama itself is quite good, and its performance after release was also quite good. Qiu Nian's portrayal of the female lead was also outstanding. It would be best if Qiu Nian took over the female lead role, but that would put me in a difficult position.

Since I'm Gu Chenming's simp, I definitely won't give up this opportunity to act with him, but I can't take on any more work for now; I have to stay home for a while!

[By the way, I could be a little unreasonable and say I don't want to film with Qiu Nian, and only want to take the lead role and act with Gu Chenming myself. If I make my mom angry first, she definitely won't do what I want.]

Pei Yuning: There's really no need for that...

So before An Ling could speak, Pei Yuning preemptively struck.

"Although that's what the director means, I think the public opinion wouldn't be very positive if we did that. I personally suggest that you don't join a film crew for the time being."

Besides, didn't you say you'd be spending Chinese New Year at home this year? This drama will be filming until after the New Year, so I feel it's more suitable for Xiao Nian to go instead.

Anling: ...How did you predict my prediction?

But wouldn't it be a bit out of character to just agree like that? Maybe I should be a little sarcastic?

"Although I really want to act with Brother Chenming, since you've said so, Mom, how can I not listen?"

An Ling pursed her lips and gave Qiu Nian a look that was both wary and warning.

"I can give you the role, but I won't give you Chenming. Just focus on acting. If I find out you're seducing him, I won't let you off the hook, understand?"

After An Ling finished speaking, she waited for Qiu Nian's reply and Pei Yuning's accusation, but after waiting for a long time, none of them reacted.

Why aren't they scolding me?

Pei Yuning and Qiu Nian: Hang in there! Don't laugh!

They're currently busy controlling their smiles, afraid they might accidentally break the spell, so they don't dare to say a word.

However, An Ling's portrayal of a villainous supporting character was hilarious. Although her acting was fine, watching her while hearing her inner thoughts was truly unbearable.

What's wrong? Did I overact and scare them?

Finally, Pei Yuning spoke first, "Let's settle this matter like this for now. It's also time for Xiaonian to sign with a company. Let her come to my company. I'll pick a good agent for you, and the agent can handle the rest."

“Okay,” Qiu Nian nodded, then sincerely assured An Ling, “An Ling, don’t worry, I will definitely keep my distance from Gu Chenming. Except when filming requires it, I will absolutely not look at him or say a word to him. I promise to stay far away from him!”

Anling: ?

There's no need to be so sincere.

However, it would be good if Qiu Nian could do that. After all, in the original plot, Gu Chenming deliberately showed concern for Qiu Nian during the filming together and gradually became familiar with her. He pretended to be kind and introduced resources to Qiu Nian, but in reality, he wanted to get to know her better.

After becoming acquainted with Qiu Nian, he showed her concern and interest in me, which aroused my jealousy and made me want to target Qiu Nian.

He did this mainly for two purposes: first, the more Qiu Nian was targeted by me, the more opportunities Gu Chenming would have to help Qiu Nian out of trouble or provide assistance, so as to increase Qiu Nian's favorability towards him.

Secondly, he wanted to see which one the An family would ultimately choose to abandon if Qiu Nian and I didn't get along, so he could decide which person to target next. After all, the person he initially wanted to hook was just the An family's daughter; he wanted to use her as a breakthrough to take revenge on the An family. The specific identity of this daughter was not so important.

[However, he later realized he had truly fallen for Qiu Nian, while Qiu Nian learned the truth about Gu Chenming's initial approach to her, believing that Gu Chenming didn't love her at all. She was heartbroken, and misunderstandings arose between them. It began with her running away and him chasing her, unable to escape; it began with him being poisoned by her, his love becoming incurable; it began with the domineering CEO turning dark, abusing her body and soul, and forcing his love; it began with "I love you, but I dare not look at you, for fear of seeing your eyes filled with hatred..."]

Pei Yuning's expression grew increasingly serious. She knew that An Ling thought this world was a fictional world, but she never expected the plot to be so...dramatic.

If it were a novel, she might be happy to read it, but now that the female protagonist of these stories is her own daughter, it's hard to accept.

The female lead herself found it even harder to accept. Qiu Nian just wanted to grab An Ling's shoulders and shake her violently: "Ahhhhh, please stop talking! My ears! My ears! That's not me, that's definitely not me!"

Fortunately, An Ling stopped thinking about these ridiculous plot points afterward, otherwise Qiu Nian might have been tempted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"By the way," Pei Yuning said, seeing Qiu Nian looking so devastated, she tried to distract her, "An Yun will be back tonight. Xiao Nian, why don't you stay at home tonight? You can also meet your second brother. Tomorrow, Mom will take you to the company to sign the contract."

"Okay." Qiu Nian nodded obediently, but she hadn't really recovered from An Ling's thoughts just now, and looked utterly hopeless.

[Second Brother is home today? Well, I've come back at just the right time. If nothing unexpected happens, Second Brother is planning to bring his girlfriend home to meet the family this time. I wonder if Second Brother's worldview will collapse when he discovers that the innocent girl he sees is actually a man-eating plant.]

[Well, it's better to have his worldview shattered than to be eaten by a man-eating plant. Maybe I should persuade him to dye his hair green first, so he can prepare himself mentally beforehand and it might be easier to accept when he finds out the truth?]

Pei Yuning and Qiu Nian: I don't think so...

Every day, our family members are getting worse and worse. Can things ever get any better?

Pei Yuning sent An Ling's inner thoughts to the An family's small group chat. Previously, this group only had Pei Yuning, An Shuhai, and An Chong. Now, Qiu Nian has been added to the three-person group, making it a four-person group.

They don't plan to share this kind of gossip among their own people in another large group; they'll just keep it to themselves for discussion.

An Chong: So Xiao Ling means that Gu Chenming was actually deliberately trying to seduce her, and even after knowing that Xiao Nian was the An family's biological daughter, he still wanted to seduce her? And his reason for doing this was to get revenge on us? What grudges do the An family and the Gu family have?

An Shuhai: No, our two families have always had a good relationship, haven't we? You can ask your mother if you don't believe me.

Pei Yuning: No, we have a very good relationship with Gu Chenming's parents. There's no grudge between us.

No matter how hard An Shuhai and Pei Yuning racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what grudges the two families had against each other.

Before An Ling revealed more information, they really couldn't think of any reason why Gu Chenming would retaliate against the An family.
