Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Raising a Star (1)

“Why can’t you just let go? If I hadn’t discovered it in time, you would have really died.”

“Stop yearning for things that don’t belong to you.”

“Look at yourself now, what do you look like?”

“I still have to deal with things outside. You should reflect on your own.”

Chuzheng lay on the hospital bed, expressionless—her heart filled with utter confusion and collapse—watching the woman who had been speaking leave.

She’s been babbling nonstop by myself for ages!

I couldn’t understand a thing she was saying.

Is it ever going to end?!

So annoying!

Just end her!

Fortunately, Chuzheng considered ending her right when she had the sense to leave first.

–

The original owner of the body was named Miss Chi.

She had loved acting since she was young, and because she was beautiful and had Spiritual Energy, she rose to fame quickly with a single role.

Talent agencies were vying to sign her.

After signing with an agency, Miss Chi received a role that soon secured her a place in the entertainment industry.

The company saw her potential and promoted her without reservation.

The President of Eastern Entertainment, Chu Anyang, showered her with resources, seemingly very fond of her.

And indeed, he frequently asked her out in private.

The young and handsome president with his unexpected little surprises and flirtations soon ensnared Miss Chi in his tender trap.

The two were seen entering and leaving together, their demeanor intimate, and the paparazzi competed to cover their story.

Chu Anyang didn’t bother to hide it and even acknowledged Miss Chi as his girlfriend when asked by the media.

However, all of this was not as Miss Chi saw it.

Miss Chi discovered that Chu Anyang’s affections weren’t for her.

But for a girl named Jian Dan.

Miss Chi also noticed that this girl bore some resemblance to her…

No.

Or rather, she resembled this girl somewhat.

Jian Dan, just like her name, was simple, kind, and pure, like a delicate lily, fresh and sweet.

Chu Anyang’s high-profile display of affection in front of the media was all to protect this girl named Jian Dan.

Once Chu Anyang found out that she knew, he didn’t try to hide it anymore.

He came clean to her, saying that he approached her just to prevent the media from capturing him and Jian Dan together, which would lead to reckless reporting.

Now that she knew, she had to provide good cover for him and Jian Dan.

But Miss Chi loved Chu Anyang, and every time she saw him lovingly doting on Jian Dan right before her eyes, her heart felt as if it was being sliced to pieces.

Only Miss Chi knew that Jian Dan’s appearance of innocence and kindness was all fake.

Every time Chu Anyang wasn’t around, Jian Dan would reveal her true colors, looking at her with disdain and disgust, warning her that she was nothing but a smoke screen to protect her from Chu Anyang, forbidding her from seducing him.

Jian Dan would also deliberately act like she was being bullied by Miss Chi in front of Chu Anyang.

Making Chu Anyang grow increasingly disgusted with her.

Miss Chi couldn’t say anything; she could only silently endure because she loved Chu Anyang.

She had never loved anyone so much in her life before.

Loved him so much that she was willing to do anything for him.

Chu Anyang used Miss Chi as a public front not just to fend off the paparazzi but also to deal with his fiancée, Wen Yanyu.

When Wen Yanyu learned of Miss Chi’s relationship with Chu Anyang, she sought a meeting with Miss Chi right away.

Between loving Chu Anyang, Chu Anyang’s love for someone else, and Wen Yanyu’s occasional harassment, Miss Chi’s mood became more oppresive each day.

Eventually, she was so burdened that she ended up committing suicide out of depression.

Chuzheng arrived at a time after Miss Chi had already taken sleeping pills in an attempt to end her life.

The person who had left just now was Miss Chi’s agent—Jiang Fen.

The ace agent of Eastern Entertainment, she had fostered award-winning actors and actresses, and she was very famous in the industry.

She was personally assigned by Chu Anyang.

At first, Miss Chi thought it meant that Chu Anyang cared for her.

It turned out that Jiang Fen had come to supervise her.

Chuzheng grabbed the original owner’s phone from the bedhead, unlocked it using her memory, and saw several apps that the original owner frequently used.

She opened Weibo.

As expected, the news of her hospitalization was on the hot search.

At first, it was rumored to be a suicide.

However, the official statement had already refuted this, claiming it was just a sudden case of gastritis, not suicide.

But by this time, seven or eight hours since she had been admitted to the hospital, Chu Anyang, her model CEO boyfriend, had still not shown up.

Netizens began to speculate whether she had broken up with Chu Anyang.

[Spiritual Energy’s Flicker: It has been so long, and Chu Anyang still hasn’t shown up. Something seems off, right?]

[Milky Way All Over the Sky: Some of you commenters are really sick. Chu Anyang is a CEO after all; maybe he’s on a business trip abroad? Maybe something important came up? A few hours of no-show and you think they’ve broken up? Do you think a CEO has as much free time as you guys?]

[Listening to the Wind and Rain Through Qingming: Wasn’t it rumored to be a suicide before? The official suddenly says it’s gastritis; does gastritis need hospitalization?]

[Myriad Miles with Few Travelers: For acute gastritis, one would need to be hospitalized, right?]

[Twilight in Emperor City March: There must be something fishy; maybe it was a suicide after all, and now with Chu Anyang not showing up for so long… Is this a suicide for love?]

[Long Is the Desolate Night: Our Chuzheng would never commit suicide, you keyboard warriors stop talking nonsense!]

[Hard to Come by Branch: Chuzheng is just sick; everyone gets sick, whatcha all have such wild imaginations for, why don’t you become screenwriters?]

[Everywhere Is Tender Grass: So is it suicide or gastritis after all?]

So is it suicide or gastritis…

Chuzheng really wanted to reply, but considering her identity, she thought better of it and gave up.

Comments online aren’t really worth reading, after flipping through them, the conclusions boil down to being more or less the same.

Chuzheng left the comment section.

Click—

The door to the sickroom was pushed open.

The girl dressed in a white hoodie first peeked in, and seeing no one else in the sickroom, she swaggered in.

“Are you disappointed to see me?”

The girl said with a smile.

Chuzheng put down her phone and coldly eyed the girl in front of her—Jian Dan.

Chu Anyang’s Little White Rabbit with sharp fangs.

On the surface, she fit the bill.

It’s just that her heart is black.

Not too nice.

People these days…

Think they can do whatever they want just because they’re good-looking.

Jian Dan’s voice was sweet: “Sorry about last night, when you called Anyang, it was me who accidentally hung up.”

Though she said she was sorry, the tone clearly carried a hint of bragging.

Chuzheng pondered for a moment.

The original owner had indeed called Chu Anyang last night.

But the first call was hung up.

The second call went through.

But then she heard the intimate voices of two people on the other end of the phone…

The original owner’s mental state was already not great; provoked by this, that was what led to the suicide act.

“Anyang is tied up, so I came to see you,” Jian Dan surveyed her: “You seem fine to me. What, are you using this trick to get Anyang to come and keep you company?”

The Little White Rabbit’s eyes suddenly sharpened: “Miss Chi, I think you should understand, you are just a shield. Don’t take yourself too seriously, your life isn’t worth anything in Anyang’s eyes.”

Towards the end, the Little White Rabbit smiled sweetly again, her twinkling big eyes full of innocence and faultlessness.

Chuzheng: “…” Little White Rabbit’s acting is really something.

If the original owner heard this, she would probably attempt suicide again.

Too bad…

I’m not the original owner.

Chuzheng glared at her frostily: “Are you done talking?”

The Little White Rabbit was taken aback, looking somewhat confused.

“If you’re done, please get out. Animals are not welcome here.”
