The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 49 - 48 Waiting for a Person to Appear

Chapter 49: Chapter 48 Waiting for a Person to Appear

Chapter 49 -48 Waiting for a Person to Appear

At that moment, Shen Jinghe was shocked.

“Wenyan, do you have any idea what you just refused?”

Up to this point, Shen Jinghe’s studio had not signed any newcomers.

This was also his first time extending an olive branch to fellow newcomers since his debut.

In other words, whatever resources Shen Jinghe got in the future might be first shared with the artist he signed, or even to package the newcomer into a drama crew.

Actually, Shen Jinghe even regretted his words as soon as he asked.

Because he felt he was being too nice to Wenyan, yet their relationship hadn’t reached that level.

Unexpectedly, when he kindly opened his mouth for once, acting generously, she didn’t even consider it worthy?

That ignited a defiant streak in him.

“A reason? Give me a reason.”

After careful thought at the time, Wenyan said:

“Aren’t we still in the midst of controversy, with many of your fans still sending me private messages, calling me shameless for throwing myself at you? If I really went to your studio, it might cause your fans to unfollow you, which would be bad for your image. Hehe, I also know that you, Second Brother, mean well and want to help me, so I can’t be ungrateful and put you in a difficult situation!”

Shen Jinghe knew Wenyan had a way with words.

But what Shen Jinghe was even more certain of was that Wenyan always talked like this when she was being evasive.

He scoffed, out of annoyance, “Who wants to help you? I just saw that you have the potential to attract fans. As for you, stay where it’s cool.”

After that, the two parted ways and went about their own business.

However, the real reasons Wenyan acted this way were twofold.

First, she was unsure what her future relationship with the Shen Family would be.

It was possible that one day the connection with the Shen Family might come to an end, and then any financial disputes with Shen Jinghe would be undesirable.

Second, and most importantly, Wenyan was waiting for someone’s appearance.

If she was determined to continue her career in this industry, then the person she most wanted to work with was this individual.

This person was extremely influential in the fictional world she had traversed into, someone whom even the female lead of the book had to show respect to.

Keep in mind, in the original story, the female lead is a character with many disguises and an omnipotent presence.

The status of a movie queen in the entertainment industry is just one small aspect of the female lead’s various identities.

Yet even so, the female lead still showed deference to this person.

Most importantly, Wenyan realized while reading the novel that this character showed immense respect for women.

Being her artist meant that all you needed to do was act well; she would never force her artists to bow to capital, especially the female artists.

Wenyan had learned this lesson the hard way before crossing into the book; she had thought at the time how great it would be if her boss or agent could be like this person from the novel.

This character was also well-known in the original novel, yet after Wenyan crossed over, she found no information about her on the internet.

So, Wenyan decided to give herself a deadline and wait a little longer, as maybe the character would appear after a specific plot trigger involving the female lead.

But even if this person doesn’t appear in the end, it would not matter; she would find another way then.

–

The upcoming filming required a mountain location.

Wenyan had been too busy previously, but now she intended to use this opportunity to visit the elderly woman who had offered shelter to her and Shen Jinghe overnight.

Just when they were about to wrap up for the day, she encountered Shen Jinghe on set and took the initiative to greet him.

“Hi Teacher Shen, I plan to visit Grandma Zhou in the mountains tomorrow. Would you like to come along?”

Shen Jinghe nodded, “Can do.”

Wenyan: [As expected of Teacher Shen, always as good as ever at being sparing with words.]

Shen Jinghe glanced at her, thinking don’t think I don’t know you’re being sarcastic about me in your mind.

When ‘can do’ can solve the issue, why should he waste his breath on needless prattle?

Both were internally griping about the other, neither showing it on their face.

Wenyan was quick to follow up with another topic:

“Then, I’ll go to the supermarket later to buy some things to bring over; how about we go Dutch, or do you prefer to buy them yourself?”

“You buy, and get more. Get the good stuff.”

“Teacher Shen seems like he’s giving orders, but I’m helping out, not…”

“I’ll cover 70 percent, and you’ll cover 30.”

“Deal!”

What a bargain, command tone or not, she thought. After all, she was spending twenty percent less.

Shen Jinghe found

Wenyan’s approach quite puzzling; she wasn’t short on money—how much could a supermarket trip possibly cost?

Yet inexplicably, Shen Jinghe found this liveliness of hers endearing.

But until bedtime, Shen Jinghe hadn’t received a bill from Wenyan.

It wasn’t until the next morning, when the production crew was about to leave, that a tri-wheeled cargo vehicle full of groceries and grains drove up, with the driver heading straight for Wenyan.

Only then did Shen Jinghe realize Wenyan had bought so much.

Looking at the tri-wheeled vehicle, Shen Jinghe’s face bore an indescribable expression.

“Wenyan, this vehicle isn’t also a gift for Granny Zhou, is it?”

“How could that be? I didn’t realize Teacher Shen had such an imagination—this vehicle is rented.”

“Couldn’t you have discussed with the production to have their vehicle transport the stuff?”

“That’s troublesome. Besides, if they damaged the props with all this stuff, it would spell trouble. You’re not worried about the cost of renting the vehicle, are you?”

“……Couldn’t you rent a different vehicle? Why choose this model?”

“I did ask, and the freight master said that to get into Granny Zhou’s village, you need a tri-wheeler; any larger vehicle wouldn’t make it down the narrow path.”

Shen Jinghe was left speechless; it seemed the reality was indeed so.

The production crew needed to do prep work upon arrival.

Zhou Junye, aware that Wenyan and Shen Jinghe were going to visit the elderly woman, offered to facilitate their journey.

“The team has two electric prop scooters; how about you two take those? Relying on your feet alone, who knows how long the walk will be.”

As a result, Wenyan and Shen Jinghe were dumbfounded, saying in unison, “I can’t ride an electric scooter.”

At that moment, Shen Jinghe’s assistant quietly raised a hand: “I can ride.”

Wenyan blinked, “But a small electric bike can’t fit three people.”

“Then call someone else who can ride and can take you along,” Zhou Junye suggested.

Just at that moment, Wang Che was passing by and got roped in by the director to be the temporary driver.

Four people on two electric bikes, and in about ten minutes, they arrived at Granny Zhou’s home.

Granny Zhou was very happy to see Wenyan and Shen Jinghe; she hurriedly bustled about getting them seated and hospitably offered them tea, insisting they stay for lunch.
