Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 216 - 45: The Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 216: Chapter 45: The Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Even Ling Yan couldn’t help with this matter anymore, because someone reported it, and the relevant authorities directly sent people to investigate the accounts. By the time this news finally reached Ling Yan’s ears, everything was already a done deal.

The only thing they could do was to sincerely pay the fine obediently.

But Ling Han, who had already gone bankrupt because of paying the breach of contract penalty, had no money to pay the fine. In the end, Ling Yan couldn’t bear to watch her brother go to jail, so she took out money to help him pay the fine.

The downfall of a generation’s movie king happened faster than anyone could have imagined; now, you can’t find Ling Han in any online film works. All the films that were just announced soon deleted their posts, fearing any association with him.

The last bit of familial affection Ling Yan had for him was completely erased by the billion-dollar fine she had paid. She warned everyone in the Ling Family not to aid Ling Han and deleted all his contact information.

The court seized all of Ling Han’s assets, including but not limited to dozens of properties in the country and countless cars.

When truly left with nothing, the Ling Han who once bought cars and houses with a blink of an eye finally realized the harsh reality of this world.

He sent resumes to other entertainment companies, but nobody dared to hire him, and they even told him to stay far away.

Apart from being a star, he wasn’t willing to do anything else, and the one or two million he had left was squandered in one night at a nightclub. He even owed some unpayable money, and the nightclub people contacted Mo Wanwan, the only person they could reach through Ling Han’s phone.

The whole internet knew about their relationship, and Mo Wanwan couldn’t afford to be embarrassed; she hurriedly paid the owed drink money and took the drunken Ling Han away in disgrace.

With nowhere to go, Mo Wanwan didn’t want to bring him to her house, so she simply booked a hotel and took him there.

Looking at this drunk man on the bed, Mo Wanwan was now filled with regret and despair.

She initially thought that with Ling Han, her path to stardom would be smooth, especially since Ling Han was young and handsome, not only from a prestigious background but also the most popular movie king in the entertainment industry. When she first dated Ling Han, Mo Wanwan even thought she was dreaming.

Thinking about dating the man all the women online were dreaming about, she was delighted.

Looking at Ling Han now, everything that happened before seemed like a dream. After waking up, she found herself struggling to survive in the entertainment industry, and Ling Han had become a street rat, a loser with nothing accomplished.

Mo Wanwan couldn’t even cry anymore.

The thing she regrets most now was admitting their relationship on Weibo, leading to the current predicament where she feels trapped.

If she breaks up, people will just say she is heartless and only able to share joy but not endure hardship.

But if she continues to be entangled, it would just be a waste of her time.

Ling Han is completely finished; this type of scandal-ridden artist is banned by the industry and abandoned by the Ling Family. Without a career or identity, he is now a useless drunk, a poor man accustomed to high spending.

Mo Wanwan can’t afford to support him and doesn’t want to. Her dream of becoming the Best Actress hasn’t been realized, and she still has the opportunity to develop in the entertainment industry. Although she is blackened beyond recognition, at least she can shamelessly continue to stay on. As long as she stays, no matter what, it’s better and more dignified than the outside.

Thinking this, Mo Wanwan made up her mind and said into Ling Han’s ear while he was drunk.

"Ling Han, let’s break up."

The drunk Ling Han understood. He wanted to say something but was too weak, unable to even open his eyes, as if stuck in a mire, unable to extricate himself. The suffocation and pain made a tear drop from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Lai had seen many such real-life love stories. Listening to Little Buding narrate vividly, she leisurely cracked sunflower seeds.

"I just like watching this kind of plot."

"Jiang Lai, you really look like the malicious supporting female character who can’t stand others being in love."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai raised her eyebrow.

"Malicious supporting female character? That’s fine, it sounds like a role that could have a name, which is better than being cannon fodder."

Moreover, being a malicious supporting female character sounds much more exciting than being cannon fodder.

"You wish, such important roles as malicious supporting female characters aren’t for us; we should just honestly complete our cannon fodder duties."

A cannon fodder with such a strong presence like Jiang Lai is rare, but as long as she doesn’t violate the rules, everything will be fine.

With the popularity of the mom reality show’s broadcast and signing with a top entertainment company, Jiang Lai quickly landed a secondary female role in a big production. Looking at the script, it exactly fulfilled Jiang Lai’s desire to play a malicious supporting female character.

Jiang Lai delightedly packed her bags and joined the cast. Zhou Yiqing assigned her two assistants and an agent, with a nanny car specifically for her travel, and even found her a place to stay not far from the company, very convenient for going out.

Before Jiang Lai joined the group, Yangyang had always stayed at her place. No matter who came to pick him up, it was useless; the little troublemaker just wouldn’t leave.

But following Jiang Lai, the little troublemaker was obedient and well-behaved, didn’t even play the video games he used to be obsessed with, and clung to Jiang Lai for homework help. After finishing, he wanted a reward, either going to the countryside to pick radishes or fishing by the river, very simple and frugal, but Yangyang loved it.

Yangyang’s grandparents were seeing their precious grandson being so sensible and lively for the first time, and they had more thoughts about Jiang Lai with admiration.

Soon, Jiang Lai was invited to dinner at the Zhou Family. Looking at the dinner table with only the old couple and Zhou Yiqing, Jiang Lai knew something was up.

As expected, the old lady started talking first, asking if Jiang Lai was single. Upon getting a confirmed answer, she couldn’t stop smiling and began energetically introducing Zhou Yiqing.

The situation was a bit awkward because Jiang Lai only liked Zhou Yiqing’s appearance, definitely not enough for marriage.

And Zhou Yiqing was focused on his career and never considered anything in this regard.

Ignoring things not part of her tasks, Jiang Lai simply replied she doesn’t plan to get married until achieving career success, brushing them off. Yet she promised to continue taking care of Yangyang as if he were her own son.

The old lady was a bit disappointed but knew such matters couldn’t be forced, so she didn’t bring it up again.

When Yangyang went to school, Jiang Lai directly joined the group, and four months of filming quickly passed. After this, Jiang Lai seamlessly joined the next cast.

This time she landed a female lead role, acting in a small campus idol drama. Since the original work was well written and the author was also the scriptwriter, Jiang Lai found it promising, so she took it.

Throughout the following year, Jiang Lai hadn’t had any downtime, spending her time either in a cast or traveling to one. Just like she said before, she never participated in any variety show again, dedicating her mind wholeheartedly to her acting career.

Soon, her reputation reached the ears of a director known for shooting serious dramas.
