How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 466 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (78)
"What's wrong? You're unhappy that the enemy is in prison?"

Xie Huan opened her eyes wide, as if she was about to scold Zhai Ling if she dared to nod.

Zhai Ling smiled and slowly said, word by word:

"No, I feel very happy... or rather, exhilarated!"

It seems that the grievances and resentments accumulated over the past few months have finally been released at this moment!

Oh no, I have to wait until the outcome of the lawsuit with my agency tomorrow before I can truly vent my anger!

But it doesn't matter, for Zhai Ling, this is already a huge breakthrough!

Zhai Ling suddenly thought of someone.

"No! I need to find my mom!"

Without saying a word, she ran out.

She was in such a hurry that she didn't even hear Xie Huan shouting loudly behind her to change her clothes before going.

With her head covered in sweat and her face flushed, Zhai Ling rushed straight into the study.

Zhu Wen was sitting in front of the French windows, leaning back in a rocking chair, holding a script in his hand.

Both are Li Sheng's films, but Zhu Wen and Zhai Ling, mother and daughter, are played by different actresses: Zhu Wen is the lead actress, and Zhai Ling is the fourth lead actress.

The difference in screen time alone is several times greater, so Zhu Wen's script is ten times thicker than Zhai Ling's.

However, Zhu Wen was reading the script in a very relaxed manner, the rocking chair creaking and swaying, while she sipped her coffee with her eyes half-closed.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was reading a novel instead of memorizing a script.

Zhai Ling rushed in at that moment.

"Mommy mommy!"

Zhu Wen seemed to have guessed that she would come, and was not surprised at all.

She placed the script face down on the table and then got up to pour Zhai Ling a glass of warm water.

"Just finished exercising? Rehydrate, don't rush."

Zhu Wen's calm and unhurried voice soothed Zhai Ling's anxiety.

Zhai Ling took the water glass and downed most of it in one go, feeling much better overall.

Suddenly, Zhai Ling had a flash of inspiration:
"Could it be... Mom, you knew about this? Oh no, you arranged this, Mom?"

Wishing you a gentle smile:

"Well, it's me."

Zhai Ling was dumbfounded:

How did you find this information?

Zhu Wen explained it casually:
"At first, I hired a private investigator, but later I met your Uncle Xie and asked him for help."

With Xie Ji's intelligence network, it would be incredibly easy for Zhu Wen to investigate what Le Yu had done.

Le Yu clearly listed all of Zhai Ling's attempts to frame her in the document.

It can be traced back to the first time the two met.

At that time, Zhai Ling didn't even know Le Yu, and their status in the industry was worlds apart.

The investigators speculated that Le Yu might be a hater of Zhai Ling, having disliked her for a long time, which is why she acted in such an incomprehensible way.

Zhu Wen didn't comment at the time, but she knew very well that it was because Le Yu had been reborn that she suppressed Zhai Ling, the vicious female supporting character, early on and used her to climb to the top.

The reason Le Yu used to convince herself was probably that she felt Zhai Ling's fans had cyberbullied her in her previous life.

But Zhu Wen, after carefully reviewing the plot, keenly noticed a problem within it—

In her previous life, when Zhai Ling met Le Yu, she hadn't yet terminated her contract with the disgusting agency, and her manager was also unreliable. It was impossible for her to support Zhai Ling and incite online trolls to cyberbully Le Yu.

Zhai Ling didn't even have any money. She gave back most of her earnings to her relatives. How could she possibly cyberbully Le Yu under such circumstances?
The truth is simple. It was all a coincidence, and had absolutely nothing to do with Zhai Ling.

Le Yu was merely jealous of Zhai Ling, which is why she presumptuously labeled Zhai Ling as malicious.

It seems that this way, he can justify his jealousy and hatred towards Zhai Ling.

There is even more reason for him to take advantage of his rebirth to suppress Zhai Ling.

Zhai Ling was innocent from beginning to end, yet she inexplicably fell into despair and became the so-called villainous female supporting character.

If Zhu Wen hadn't arrived, her fate would most likely have been as depicted in the original book: she would have chosen to end her own life and completely end her suffering.

...Thankfully, Zhu Wen arrived.

She not only investigated everything thoroughly, but also directly retaliated against Yue Yu with bitter fruit!
"Lingling, there's something I need to make clear to you. There's someone who provided important information here."

Zhu Wen wasn't deliberately keeping us in suspense.

She was simply surprised and had mixed feelings.

Zhai Ling frowned subconsciously, and a name popped into her mind.

Sure enough, Zhu Wen spoke up:
“Cheng You. There are many things in here that Cheng You found out and gave them to me.”

Zhu Wen suspected that Cheng You was also reborn.

But she couldn't say this to Zhai Ling; she could only guess at it silently in her heart.

When Cheng You contacted her, the regret, remorse, and deep apology he expressed towards Zhai Ling all spoke volumes…

Cheng You in his previous life deeply regretted it.

Zhai Ling's death caused him extreme despair, and he actually let go of his love for Le Yu, instead missing Zhai Ling!

How ridiculous.

The original story only goes up to when Yue Yu wins the Best Actress award and Cheng You proposes to her, without providing a detailed description of their married life.

So the real sequel might be that Cheng You learns of Zhai Ling's death, begins to repent and realize his mistakes, and also pulls himself out of his love for Le Yu, understanding who he truly loves.

If the script were different, it would probably be the so-called "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario.

However, Zhu Wen felt that Cheng You was stupid and ignorant, and that even standing in front of Zhai Ling was an insult to her daughter's eyes.

Zhu Wen wouldn't offer any explanations for Cheng You. She only mentioned Cheng You's name and that some things were discovered by him, and then she wouldn't say another word.

Zhai Lingyin could vaguely guess some of it.

But she still felt mostly confused!
"Is Cheng You crazy?! We have nothing to do with each other! Why are you pretending to be sober?"

Zhai Ling felt disgusted and horrified by Cheng You's so-called awakening.

She couldn't help but think that Cheng You had always shown such deep affection and love for Le Yu.

But now you've betrayed Yue Yu so easily?

The two are truly a match made in heaven!
Zhai Ling couldn't help but curse several times.

After he finished yelling, he remembered his mother standing in front of him.

Zhai Ling scratched her face shyly, trying to maintain her image as a well-behaved girl.

Zhu Wen laughed:
"Yes, well said."

She was also a little worried, afraid that Zhai Ling would waver because of Cheng You's return.

Fortunately, Zhai Ling had no such inclination; she only felt that Cheng You had something wrong with his head!

Just by looking at Zhai Ling's attitude towards Cheng You, you can tell that she has no feelings for him whatsoever.

Zhai Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Wen patted her on the shoulder:

"Don't feel indebted to Cheng You because of what he did. Even without his help, I could still find out about these things."
