So what about Liu De, Mo Fang"s adultery partner? His reputation was so stinky so apart from one stubborn lover, all his women abandoned him. There were better options anyway, all, without exceptions, had cleaner backgrounds, more sincere and had no other women… and friends with Jiang Li.The male lead"s scandals were filling the streets, making him subject to the conversation of everyone who knew about his affairs. Dong Lan had a bit of fame on the campus and he was gaining popularity from being an online fortune-teller. So, when he revealed, as a "fan", how Liu De also had a part in the adultery and thus denying the claims that he had been misled by Mo Fang, the news spread out so fast, resulting in Liu De"s image getting dirtier.
Around this time, Dong Lan already had the ability to glimpse into the past and future of a person, slowly regaining his memory and real personality. Towards a douche like Liu De who almost stole his wife from the previous lifetime, he was more than happy to help Jiang Li screw him.
Nonetheless, the male lead"s halo was still strong so, despite the few setbacks, he was not really doing that bad.
His system graciously suggested through a mission issuance that he fled abroad and start anew there. His skills and looks were his a.s.sets anyways so after undergoing cosmetic surgery, he did fly to Taiwan, but only after marrying his manager and promising all sorts of stuff to her.
"I would only be gone for a few years. Once I completed my dream, I"ll make sure to bring home a fortune so you can live a carefree life."
The sc.u.mbag didn"t know the kind manager was already pregnant. All he knew was that he couldn"t bring her abroad since people would definitely recognize her at one point even if she disguised herself.
It would be a year or so later that she would learn how big of a star he had become and how many women he had involved himself with. It would be Tang Yu Yan who would extend help to her. The information originally came from Jiang Li who urged Selena to inform the poor woman, but since the scriptwriter was too lazy to bother, she "blackmailed" her adopted sister into doing the task. Tang Yu Yan would then introduce the manager to a caring man who would help her divorce Liu De and love her and her son.
Liu De would settle the divorce quietly and not even fight for the custody of his child. Obviously, he didn"t want to risk the hard-found career he built in Taiwan. Only six or seven years in the future when he once again loses everything would he realize how wrong he was for not taking the chance for a quiet life presented to him by his former manager.
...
Back to the present.
Many days later after the trip to the mountain city.
Jiang Li received a notification from the system, reporting that Mo Fang was pushed back to the countryside, barely surviving as she depended on her little savings.
The woman realized she could no longer use the same method to earn money since she could no longer go back to the capital and extort the magnates and politicians there. The businessmen in her hometown where small fishes she didn"t place much importance in her past life.
She had some insights in the future and could try investing in stocks, yet she was too afraid since the whole thing was no different from gambling in her mind. The woman was long aware that she was not good at gambling, proven by how the man she invested her everything failed to make it to the top in this lifetime.
With all of this said, Mo Fang could only cry for days and lament her misfortune. Taking revenge was currently out of her mind since survival was even a question mark.
"Host, the target has changed her name and tried to apply to regular companies, planning to climb step by step and then seduce some wealthy man. But she has no qualifications since she was from a different industry. This was why she could only settle for less, building a school supply shop in front of a private high school. The soul client has deemed it enough so you can leave anytime you want. But if you prefer to stay, there"s no problem too. He only hopes you visit his parents" graves once a year and pray for their souls."
The system"s childish voice rang when he was in another talk show where the host was praising his acting in the Monarch and I. Of course, he was not the highlight of the event, but the announcement of Selena Tang"s new work. He would not be acting in it, declining the invitation since there were no suitable roles for him which he could act based on past ident.i.ties. But this did not mean he would quit partic.i.p.ating in films.
Jiang Li decided to formally take acting lessons, intent on being part of Selena"s work, either as the singer of the OSTs or an actor.
Selena knew his real intention and couldn"t help but remember what he said that one time.
She regretted slapping him hard which resulted in him tumbling on the floor, his arm somehow getting cut by the edge of the door. To be honest, even now she was puzzled how the heck he ended up getting grazed or falling. Her strength was not supposed to be that high.
As a result, she had to apply first aid treatment to him which ended with him getting an opportunity to kiss her on the lips, something which probably sped up her falling for him. But of course, by only a bit.
After all, their strange relations.h.i.+p where she p.i.s.sed off the other who kept courting her took about two years before she agreed to be his girlfriend. By then, Jiang Li had been secretly taking hair treatment for about seven months to stop his receding hairline.
