Perhaps it was her period, but Sister Sa was particularly fierce today, latching onto An Qiuyan and unleashing a barrage of criticism.
All sorts of sharp words were flung her way, almost turning An Qiuyan into a sieve. Jiang Ling stared, wide-eyed.
She had to admit, the "Zu'an" (online abusive) skills were impressive!
An Qiuyan's face turned green under the scolding, her chest heaving. She wished she could lunge forward and tear Sister Sa's mouth apart.
But remembering how Sister Sa had looked menacing at the doorway earlier, holding a high-heeled shoe and threatening to smash her face, she didn't dare to act out.
Seeing Sister Sa getting increasingly worked up, Jiang Ling quickly said, "Go take a break, have some chrysanthemum tea. I'll handle things here!"
Sister Sa, having vented her anger, pouted, shot An Qiuyan a glare, and stormed out, hands on her hips.
An Qiuyan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She looked up at Jiang Ling and asked, "Do you think life can be lived again?"
Jiang Ling blinked, having thought An Qiuyan's visit this time was to reveal some earth-shattering secret (like Jing Tian and Da Mi Mi), only to find it was this.
With a dismissive smile, Jiang Ling immediately replied, "Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns. If life could be lived again, why would there be so many sorrowful people in the world? An Qiuyan, has your brain been kissed by a pig? Why do you only say such nonsensical things?"
An Qiuyan frowned, her eyes fixed on Jiang Ling's peach-blossom beautiful face. "Stop pretending! No matter how well you act, you can't fool my eyes. I've known for a long time that you're not the original Jiang Ling. After you were blacklisted by the whole internet and left Huohua Media, you became a different person. Not only do you know how to scheme and strategize, but your acting skills have also become so superb. This is definitely not something the clueless idiot from before could have done."
Jiang Ling couldn't help but want to laugh upon hearing this.
Clueless idiot?
Who came to me to spill secrets about rebirth and transformation, like a wolf shedding its skin? Who is more clueless?
In the original novel, if you hadn't been blessed with the protagonist's halo, you would have been gnawed to the bone by those cannibalistic capitalists in the entertainment industry.
"Pretending?" Jiang Ling scoffed. "Why would I pretend? What do I have to pretend about? I am the hottest actress right now. People are lining up to give me money for endorsements and acting roles. Do I still need to pretend? Ridiculous!"
Seeing Jiang Ling flatly deny it, An Qiuyan felt annoyed and huffed, "Don't beat around the bush. The pretending I'm talking about is completely different from what you're saying. Let's speak frankly. I came back reborn last year. You must have been reborn much earlier than me. We're both ancient foxes, so stop playing games with me like in Liaozhai. Since we've both been reborn, just admit it frankly."
When An Qiuyan mentioned she wasn't the original Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling had felt a little scared.
Now, hearing her say, "we've both been reborn," she couldn't help but feel relieved.
So this little wretch thought she was reborn. It seemed her secret golden finger, the system, hadn't been suspected, nor did she know she was a transmigrator, not a reborn person.
That's good, that's really good!
As long as her trump cards weren't exposed, her current strength was enough to handle anything.
Seeing Jiang Ling stunned and silent for a long time, An Qiuyan mistook it as Jiang Ling's rebirth secret being exposed and her having gained leverage. Her eyebrows rose slightly, and she grew even more smug.
"Life is rarely given a second chance. I don't think you want to mess up this life either, right? Since we're both reborn, as long as you don't provoke me or affect my interests, I naturally won't have nothing better to do than deliberately make things difficult for you."
