What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

"what?"

Upon hearing that Madam Gu's stepmother was pregnant, Ye Wen's expression resembled that of a monk who had just heard a thunderous remark.

"You couldn't get pregnant before, how come you got pregnant after the maid finished with you?"

Could it be that the maid possesses the Xuan Yin Body from fantasy works?

"I don't know about that, I didn't see their CCB process."

"Maybe it was just bad luck before, or maybe this is karma coming back for what she did."

Mu Xingyuan sighed: "But no matter what, the child (Gu Jiangyi) is innocent."

Ye Wen nodded silently.

Yes.

She can't choose her parents.

"In short, after discovering that she was also pregnant, most of Madam Gu's preparations to conceal the truth became useless, and how to deal with the maid's child became her primary problem."

"I don't know exactly what happened in that era, but in the end, she chose to use the name of twins to make Gu Jiangyi her child in public."

"The two children were born around the same time, and Madam Gu chose to cover it up by going back to her parents' home to rest during her pregnancy, while Mr. Gu was only focused on making money, and in the end, she really managed to deceive him."

"This couple is a real pair of smiling tigers, two black sharks."

Ye Wen frowned even more deeply.

Why did she do that?

"Now that I'm pregnant and carrying a real child, I should find a way to send the maid away, give her some money so she can raise the child and live a good life."

"Why go through all that trouble to register Gu Jiangyi under your name?"

Ye Wen simply couldn't understand it.

Isn't this just setting yourself up for trouble?

Mu Xingyuan bit her lip in annoyance: "Well, you straight man probably wouldn't understand."

"However, if you put yourself in the shoes of a woman in a family, she probably doesn't want other women to live outside with her husband's children."

"Therefore, even if they are not your own children, you must keep them firmly by your side."

At this point, Mu Xingyuan looked up at Ye Wen with a puzzled expression: "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Wen: "Haha."

He shuddered inexplicably: "It's okay, you can continue."

"And then, after becoming Madam Gu's child in name only, how did Gu Jiangyi fare?"

Mu Xingyuan continued her explanation.

"At first it was fine. With Mr. Gu around, Mrs. Gu didn't dare to show favoritism and treated everyone equally. So Gu Jiangyi's childhood was a true life of a young lady from a wealthy family, and it was quite happy."

"If things could continue like this, Gu Jiangyi's life wouldn't be such a tragedy. Unfortunately, it all happened a few years ago."

"Our Mr. Gu worked too hard to make money, and his heart couldn't hold up, so he suddenly passed away."

"The enormous family fortune has been transferred to Madam Gu's name; it's a sum of money that she could live off for ten lifetimes without ever spending it all."

"If she hadn't invested in stocks and started her own business, Mrs. Gu could have lived a miserable life in her later years, swimming in a pool filled with money."

That's very sad.

Ye Wen quickly grasped the key point: "In other words, Madam Gu has completely become the head of the family, with complete control over the finances, and no one can restrain her anymore."

"So, she doesn't need to pretend to treat Gu Jiangyi the same way anymore, right?"

Mu Xingyuan gave Ye Wen an approving look.

"When Master Gu was still alive, she could regard Gu Jiangyi as her husband's child, but after Master Gu died, what exactly was Gu Jiangyi to her?"

"Of course, Madam Gu did not abuse Gu Jiangyi, at least not physically. It may be because Gu Jiangyi's birth was inseparable from her, or it may be because she has raised her for so many years and there is indeed some mother-daughter affection between them."

"But there aren't many."

"Mrs. Gu chose another form of violence: emotional abuse."

"She began to ignore Gu Jiangyi. Parent-teacher meetings, sports meets, birthday parties... the mother's presence began to disappear from Gu Jiangyi's life. This was an invisible form of bullying."

"While Madam Gu stopped abusing Gu Jiangyi, she also stopped giving her any warmth. She wouldn't get involved in anything concerning Gu Jiangyi, as if doing so could erase the mistakes she had made in the past."

"And this kind of life lasted for five years."

5 years, 60 months, 1800 days.

Ye Wen asked, "Does Gu Jiangyi know about these things?"

"Ha, how could she possibly know?"

Mu Xingyuan lowered her eyes, her face showing even more pity: "She probably always thought she had done something wrong."

"After all, my mother, who was so good to me when I was little, suddenly stopped talking to me."

Ye Wen was at a loss for words and could only change the subject.

"What happened with Gu Jiangyi's suicide?"

"Oh, this? I need to make a special point about this. Gu Jiangyi actually attempted suicide twice."

"The first time was probably out of a child's spite, like running away in a shopping mall and then secretly looking back to see if their mother would anxiously chase after them."

"She wanted to die a short, shallow death to receive the maternal love that was almost forgotten, but it was a great pity."

"It was this first death that made her realize that her mother didn't love her at all."

"So, before she could even get comfortable in the hospital bed, Gu Jiangyi started her second suicide attempt at lightning speed."

"She was even more thorough in her second suicide attempt than the first. According to the information I found, she should have died completely when she committed suicide the second time, but unexpectedly, she went to school the next day, full of energy, and stopped going home. She started playing in the wild."

"And then you got involved."

Mu Xingyuan glanced at Ye Wen: "You should know something, right? But you don't seem willing to say."

Because I was afraid that if I told you, you would become the female lead.

Ye Wen looked up at Mu Xingyuan's empty head. He had a feeling that if Mu Xingyuan became the female lead, she would definitely be the most difficult one to deal with.

He might have the courage of someone as fierce as Li Li.

So let's take it down quickly!

However, Ye Wen now has a very complete set of information.

Gu Jiangyi committed suicide by jumping off a building due to her family background. Before her death, she met Kyubey and was chosen by him to become a magical girl to receive the distortions of other heroines, which is called fate value.

Gu Jiangyi is not simply an artificial female protagonist created by Qubi. Because Mu Xingyuan's background story involves too many gods and gods, Ye Wen has reason to be suspicious.

Gu Jiangyi was actually a wild, white female protagonist who was caught by Qiu Bi and forcibly fed into becoming a green female protagonist.

That is, a female protagonist with a complex and savory flavor.

Things have become complicated.

Although it's green, Ye Wen felt that Gu Jiangyi's strategy was more difficult than Shen Xuqiu's blue.

This is not some visible or tangible obstacle, but an invisible, suffocating, dark, and twisted gloom.

More importantly, Gu Jiangyi chose to become a magical girl herself.

Unlike other passive female protagonists.

In other words, if Ye Wen wants to eliminate the female protagonist, he must truly interfere with a young girl's will and life.

Looking at Ye Wen's expression, Mu Xingyuan said meaningfully, "Actually, you could have just sent her to a hotel."

"With the five million in your account, it should be easy for you, right?"

Ye Wen then asked, "How did you know I had five million in my account?"

Mu Xingyuan: "Hehe."

Ye Wen glanced helplessly at his childhood friend, then took out his phone and opened the student council's group chat, where many discussions had already taken place about filming magical girls.

It's clear they're really looking forward to this shoot.

I'm also really looking forward to the female lead that Ye Wen will bring.

Sometimes, violence isn't the only way to solve problems; healing can work too.

Ye Wen knew he might not be a gentle person, but fortunately, he was surrounded by gentle people.

He is trying his best to let Gu Jiangyi encounter more gentle people and gentle things.

Perhaps in this way, she will no longer be so fixated on becoming a magical girl.

So that's what I'm saying.

Ye Wen looked up at the starry sky and sighed:

"The female lead or something."

"This is really troublesome."
