The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 111: Chapter 110: The Epitome of Embarrassment Chapter 111: Chapter 110: The Epitome of Embarrassment The screenshot, greasy hair and face aside—after all, even from a distance she still looks like a beauty.

But the key issue was that the expression in the photo was particularly fierce, the kind where the features were all over the place but you could still recognize who it is at first glance!

‘Aaaaah, Shen Jinghe, pay me back!’

‘I only charged you a thousand, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise, think about it if I release this photo, hmph’

‘Pay back the money!!!!!!!!’

‘I have to record a show and can’t play with my phone anymore, bye-bye’

“Argh!” Wenyan was furious. She hadn’t expected to do work for Shen Jinghe for free, and even had a thousand yuan extorted from her.

Feeling indignant, she opened the social media app and browsed through Shen Jinghe’s feed.

It indeed seemed like he was filming a variety show because his latest post was the photo of Shen Pili that she had sent him.

After much deliberation (a spur of the moment decision), Wenyan quickly registered a burner account.

Her nickname was ‘Shen Jinghe Ugly Photos’

Then, with this nickname, she went to the comments section of Shen Jinghe’s post and wrote:

‘Negative review, no respect for animal privacy at all, taking photos with its belly showing and not even bothering to blur it out for the kid’

In reality, Maine Coons are long-haired cats, so even if they flipped over and exposed their belly, it wouldn’t reveal much.

Therefore, Wenyan’s supposedly ‘scathing’ comment didn’t stir any ripples whatsoever.

Instead, she herself became stuck in Shen Jinghe’s comment section, unable to extricate herself.

‘Wow, brother’s cat is so cool, what breed is it? Why does it look so aggressive?’

‘Upstairs, this is a female cat. But you’re right, Maine Coons are indeed handsome’

‘Hahaha, I died laughing. The other guests also shared photos, some of their managers, some of their assistants, and even their moms, sisters, friends, but only Hehe posted a photo of a female cat’

‘Shock! Jinghe must be in love! Did you guys notice, that cat is lying on a big bed, the cream-white bedding totally looks like it’s from a girl’s room. Does that mean the cat is owned by Jinghe’s girlfriend?’

‘Nonsense, he said years ago that he keeps a Maine Coon, okay? Don’t start rumors here. What’s your intention in saying all this?’

‘What’s wrong with white bedding? Can’t a guy use white bedding? Maybe it was taken in a hotel, and all hotel bedding is white, right?’

‘Who brings a cat on a business trip?’

‘Short-sighted. There are loads of actors and celebrities who bring pets on set, you just don’t know about it.’

‘Only girls like to put cats on beds and pose them, right?’

‘Who says? My brother is male and he likes to cuddle with the cat in bed and scratch its itches’

‘I also think it’s a girl’s bed, but why are fans getting so worked up? Even if Shen Jinghe fell in love, got married, and had children, I would still support him’

‘Wuuwuuwuu, no way, that would be like a breakup for me, my brother can’t be in a relationship’

‘If he falls in love, I won’t like him anymore!’

‘Same here, I hope it’s not true’

‘I’m done with you guys. Making a mountain out of a molehill, it’s just a cat lying on a bed, nothing more. Not even a shadow of anything else.’

‘Seriously, I magnified the photo by N times and didn’t see a single long hair. If you insist it’s a girl’s bed, then tell me, which girl’s bed doesn’t have long hairs on it?’

Wenyan came to Shen Jinghe’s comment section with a ‘vengeful’ mindset but left with a sense of ‘guilt’.

If only she had known, she would have placed Shen Pili on the carpet for the photo.

Good thing she didn’t use the dreamy purple sheets this time.

Miscalculation!

But at the end of the day, none of this had anything to do with her since she was just following Shen Jinghe’s instructions.

So that thousand yuan, Shen Jinghe still had to pay it back!

‘After “torturing” Shen Pili for a while, Wenyan suddenly received a message from Wang Che.

‘What’s wrong with you? Why am I seeing some not-so-great comments about you online, like something about being kept a secret by a sugar daddy being suppressed on hot search, what’s that about?’

‘You little rascal,’ Wenyan immediately sent a message back, ‘You’re always where the gossip is. It’s just a bunch of exaggerated rumors, nothing to talk about. By the way, how have you been recently?’

‘Pretty good, just filming. I just finished work and was scrolling online aimlessly. Oh, and about that Qin Weiran person you asked me to look into, I haven’t made much progress. Give me some more time.’

‘All right, you’re thoughtful! I’ll take you out for a meal when I’m free.’

Conversation with Wang Che reminded Wenyan that merely waiting passively for Qin Weiran to appear wasn’t going to cut it.

She had no idea when Qin might show up.

Although she was now free from signing with any agency, it was about time she found herself an assistant.

She needed someone to help her deal with things outside her regular work.

Like the sneaky photos at the airport and rumors of having a sugar daddy, if not for her family noticing early, by the time she woke up the rumors would have already flown.

Anyway, this time she decided to be her own boss and would not sign another ‘lifetime contract’ with anyone.

However, she still needed to learn from someone experienced, like Shen Jinghe for instance.

But he was busy at the moment, so she would have to wait until he returned to discuss it.

–

A week of survival in the wild was indeed a physically demanding task for Wenyan.

After coming back, she ‘played dead’ at home on and off for two days before fully recovering her energy and spirits.

In these few days, the “Jungle Diary” production team also kept busy.

They had finished editing the program and had negotiated a partnership with a TV station and a video app to prepare to launch the first season of “Island Jungle Diary”.

Early that day, Wenyan received promotional materials from the production team for her to confirm and cooperate with the publicity.

Wenyan glanced over it, and there were no issues with her parts.

However, the production team, seeking to attract viewers, edited many confrontational scenes into the trailer as a selling point.

Unsurprisingly, Min Xiasha was involved in most of the drama.

Worth mentioning is that the production team also included many clips of Shen Jingchuan. The team obviously knew that Shen Jingchuan was quite popular with the audience now.

Moreover, Shen Jingchuan had specially opened a social media account for this program and the first post he shared was the promotional clip of “Jungle Diary”.

Fans followed the breadcrumbs left by the production team’s posts and found their way to him. Shen Jingchuan’s follower count was skyrocketing.

Wenyan came across the promotional clip online countless times, but she didn’t have the time to read comments about herself.

Because Shen Jinghe had returned to A City.

She needed to both repay Shen Jinghe and seek his advice, so she soft-soaped and used Shen Pili as bait to lure Shen Jinghe back.

Who would have expected that Shen Jinghe would come back exactly at mealtime?

And coincidentally, today was Saturday, so Shen Jingxiu too had returned to the villa.

Even more coincidental was that her reality show “Jungle Diary” was having its premiere tonight.

Su Yang gathered the whole family on the sofa to watch.

“Since everyone is here, and Yanyan and Jingchuan’ entertainment program is on, let’s all watch it together. It’s been a long time since our family sat down to watch TV together like this.”

Wenyan: “……”

All-caps AWKWARD.

Why all the family watching?

It’s fine to act in a drama, but she’s not yet accustomed to reality TV.

In the program, there was also the segment where she had to argue with Min Xiasha and play the innocent victim. T-T
