Although the crew Wen Yao was in was small, and there were no big stars, the main actors had a certain level of popularity, so there was still quite a bit of media attention.
Therefore, when the accident almost caused a disaster, it was quickly reported. After Rou's fans found out, they strongly demanded that the crew be held accountable, causing quite a stir.
The crew sincerely apologized for the incident, and Rou generously forgave them on Weibo, calming the fans and earning a wave of praise.
However, Wen Yao was completely unaware of the matter, as she was still living in seclusion in the hospital.
For Wen Yao, a fractured left arm was nothing considering the countless near-death experiences she had been through, and it had little impact on her.
However, the director of the crew was worried and strongly requested that she stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation before returning home to rest.
Since the original owner became the sister's stand-in, the sister had cut off all contact with the outside world to prevent the secret from being discovered. Therefore, even if she left the hospital, she had nowhere to go and could only stay for the time being and plan for the future.
During these days in the hospital, Wen Yao had been using her own method to speed up the recovery of her arm.
As the saying goes, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury in the muscles and bones."
Although modern medical facilities were very advanced and it wouldn't take a hundred days, it still needed at least a month.
However, Wen Yao's recovery was almost complete in just ten days.
Due to the urgent filming schedule and the gravity of the incident, the director, Zhang Yun, had been closely monitoring Wen Yao's recovery after learning that she was out of danger.
After learning that Wen Yao was fine, Zhang Yun immediately contacted the manager, Yuan Min.
Normally, the actor should rest for a few more days, but the shooting schedule couldn't be delayed indefinitely.
Every day of delay cost tens of thousands of dollars, which the small crew couldn't afford.
Previously, there had been a very strained relationship between Rou and Wen Yao. Yuan Min had intended to let Wen Yao calm down for a few days before taking her home to recuperate.
After all, Wen Yao was "Rou" to the public, and if it leaked that she was staying in the hospital with no one to care for her, her fans would start a fuss about her and the management company.
Ke Wenyao was resolute and unwilling to return. Yuan Min, thinking of Wenyao's utility, wanted Wenrou to speak a few soft words to her.
Wenrou, with a proud demeanor, felt that Wenyao should be left to dangle a few more days so she would know the consequences of her actions.
Yuan Min thought that Wenyao's injury would take a couple of months to heal and wasn't in a hurry.
To their surprise, Wenyao's injury healed very quickly, and the film crew was asking when they could resume work. They couldn't delay it any longer.
Yuan Min immediately called Wenrou.
"Wenrou, Wenyao's injury is almost healed. The crew is asking when they can resume work. Your relationship with Wenyao cannot remain this tense, it's not good for you."
Wenrou was well aware of the disadvantage of losing Wenyao as a stand-in.
Thinking about all the dirty work she would have to do herself in the future, she quickly replied, "I understand, Sister Yuan."
"Then I will come to pick you up, and we will go to the hospital right away."
"Okay."
After spending ten days in the hospital, Wenyao noticed that neither Yuan Min nor Wenrou had tried to contact her.
It seemed very strange to Wenyao.
Although she had been very resolute in refusing to be a stand-in and had seemingly severed all ties, it was inconceivable that Wenrou would simply give up on her, given her value to her. Moreover, her existence was a threat to Wenrou, and even if she no longer used Wenyao, she would never let her appear in public freely.
During these ten days, Wenyao felt that the calm was too abnormal. After carefully considering her future plans, she decided to contact Wenrou.
To her surprise, as soon as she had this thought, Wenrou arrived.
Wenyao was pleased on the inside but did not show it. She casually picked up the script from the bedside and began to read, as if she didn't notice Wenrou's arrival.
Upon entering, Wenrou saw that Wenyao was ignoring her, and although she was angry, she continued to wear a smile, considering her purpose for this visit.
She smiled and waved the dessert bag in her hand, calling out sweetly, "Sis, look what I brought for you!"
Wenyao glanced up at the words and then looked down, showing no interest.
As if she hadn't noticed Wenyao's actions, Wenrou continued warmly, "Sis, this is your favorite strawberry cake. You don't know how popular this cake is. I made a reservation three days in advance."
As she spoke, Wenrou took out the cake and handed it to Wenyao.
Wenyao closed the script and looked up at Wenrou.
Wenrou noticed the script in Wenyao's hand and disdainfully snorted in her heart.
She had thought Wenyao had more backbone, but it turned out she was just all talk.
She couldn't possibly be reading the script if she had truly decided not to be a stand-in.
The agent had been worried that Wenyao would resist, but it turned out her worries were completely unnecessary.
After living under the same roof for more than ten years, she knew Wenyao's temperament very well.
Wenyao looked at the small cake Wenrou had handed her, a ripe and luscious strawberry nestled in the center.
For Wenyao, this was an unfamiliar food.
To her, unfamiliar meant dangerous.
Wenyao had no appetite; she just found it intriguing.
Seeing Wenyao staring at the cake, Wenrou thought that Wenyao had calmed down.
She quickly handed the cake to her, showing a sincere look:
"Sis, I was wrong last time. You know how hot-headed I am; I apologize to you, and I promise it won't happen again."
This was not the first time Wenrou had apologized to Wenyao. In the original owner's memory, this situation was commonplace, but the original owner, being soft and weak, always forgave Wenrou.
However, this time Wenyao planned to play a waiting game and forgive Wenrou first.
At present, she had nothing and was stuck with the same face as Wenrou. No matter where she went, she couldn't escape the name "Wenrou", and Wenrou wouldn't allow this ticking time bomb to exist.
Considering her plan, Wenyao composed herself. When she looked up again, her eyes glistened with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, and she asked in an innocent tone, "Do you really mean it?"
Previously, Wenrou had thought that Wenyao seemed too indifferent, but at this moment, she dispelled that thought.
The girl before her was still the familiar, clumsy one.
Wenrou excitedly held Wenyao's hand and earnestly replied, "Of course, sis. My parents are paralyzed, and I only have you as family in this world. You can't abandon me too."
Upon hearing this, Wenyao's face showed a hint of emotion, and with tears in her eyes, she replied, "Okay."
However, deep down, she didn't believe a word Wenrou had said.
After being discharged from the hospital, Wenyao once again returned to the watchful eyes of Wenrou and Yuan Min.
She remained silent and reserved as before, but they felt something wasn't quite right.
There's a specific problem, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Both Wenrou and Yuan Min felt uneasy, and only after observing for some time without finding anything abnormal did they completely relax and allow her to return to the crew.
As she returned to the crew, Wenyao studied the script while incorporating memories of her original self to figure out how to act in the play.
The original owner was very talented in acting and found it easy; acting was not difficult for her.
But for Wenyao, who was used to fighting, it was a bit difficult, and she was momentarily at a loss.
Wenyao completely memorized the script and was preparing to ask someone for advice when she suddenly saw the leading actress, Song Weiwei, leaving the set with a man.
Wenyao remembered the sly, panicked look of the woman she had seen before passing out. Later she found out that the woman was the leading actress, Song Weiwei, in this play.
The original owner played the role of the male lead's sister in the play, so they did not have much interaction in her memories.
She returned to the crew after probing her memories, but she did not find any abnormalities with Song Weiwei.
But Wenyao always felt something was amiss. How could such a big mistake occur in a crew, no matter how careless they were?
She suspected that someone had tampered with something.
And the man who left with Song Weiwei happened to be Mr. Li, who was in charge of the special effects.
There was no interaction between the actress and Mr. Li, so why did they leave together?
It must be a conspiracy.
Wenyao immediately put down the script and followed them.
Sure enough, Wenyao found that the two of them walked to a path leading to the backyard, and finally stopped at a very hidden place.
Even though this was borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul, Wenyao was fortunate that all her martial arts skills had come back with her.
At this moment, she followed the two without being noticed, using light work to silently tail them.
After Song Weiwei stood still, she checked around and, confirming that there was no one around, impatiently said, "Isn't everything clear? Why are you still finding me? Besides, this is on the set. What if someone sees?"
"Teacher Song, we agreed on this amount, but you've only given half of it now," Mr. Li gestured with a number.
At the mention of money, Song Weiwei's face immediately darkened as she said, "Do you still dare to say that? You guaranteed with certainty at the time. But now? She's still there."
When Mr. Li mentioned the incident, Song Weiwei grimaced.
It was indeed quite spooky.
When Wenrou fell, blood splattered on the ground, but the blood turned out to be fake, and Wenrou only had minor bone fractures.
But thinking that the resources she had obtained were taken by Wenrou, Song Weiwei found it hard to contain her resentment.
In private, Wenrou was arrogant, wilful, and capricious, yet she projected a gentle and innocent image externally. With this image, she acquired many quality resources.
Seething with anger, Song Weiwei vowed in her heart that no matter what, she would make Wenrou suffer the consequences.
But she did not expect to lift her head and see a figure standing not far away.
Once Song Weiwei saw clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.
It was actually Wenrou!
Wenrou's face was dark, and her eyes seemed to have a murderous look, staring straight at her.
Song Weiwei already had her suspicions and, with that gaze, she was quite frightened.
Unconsciously, she took two steps back, lacking the confidence as she questioned, "Wen-Wenrou, you dare to follow us?"
The conversation of the two reached Wenya's ears. She never imagined that this delicate beauty was so vicious and intended to put her original self to death.
Now that the original self was dead, and she had the privilege of returning to her body and becoming one with the original, she naturally could not sit idly by; she had to seek revenge for the original.
"If I didn't follow you, how would I know that you were scheming to harm me?" Wenya took a step closer to the two as she spoke.
Seeing that Wenrou already knew the truth, Song Weiwei’s heart skipped a beat.
But then she thought that there was no surveillance here, who could be a witness? This made her relax a little.
She smiled and said, "Right, yes, I want to harm you, but who would believe you? Can you produce evidence?"
After saying this, Song Weiwei turned to Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li, do you believe that I would harm her?"
Although Mr. Li was unhappy about the money, as a co-conspirator, naturally, he stood on Song Weiwei's side.
He cooperated and said, "How is that possible? Teacher Song is kind-hearted. She was sad and blamed herself for a long time when Wen Teacher had an accident. How could she have any thoughts of harming anyone?"
Wenya looked at the two, singing different tunes, and found them heartbreakingly despicable.
Since it was this way, she didn't need to be polite anymore.
Wenya clenched her fists and without a second word, smacked the two of them across their faces.
Both of them were unprepared and were knocked down by the sudden punch. Song Weiwei was completely dumbfounded, and although Mr. Li, as a man, had some resistance, he didn't even get to touch Wenya’s clothes before being kicked out.
Wenya watched the two overestimating themselves and then focused her eyes on Song Weiwei's face, asking back,
"Then do you think anyone would believe that I hit you all?"
