Chapter 18: I'll be completely devoured tonight.
"Changchang, is Chen Wenbo still on the set of Chinese Paladin?"
Yan Danchen was a little curious. Chen Wenbo and Liu Yifei were good friends, so why did he seem so untrustworthy? Liu Yifei was a rising starlet who was being heavily promoted by a powerful figure.
Shu Chang felt that she had turned the tide. "Yeah, we had hot pot together last night. Yi Fei asked me to help Chen Wenbo ask around in the film crew if there were any roles he could play."
The older woman will probably back down; she can't compete for the role, and as for the handsome man, that's even more out of the question.
Yan Danchen smiled, her words carrying a double meaning, "Changchang is so kind-hearted, she cares so much about her friends' friends too."
Shu Chang felt very uncomfortable hearing this. It sounded like she was trying to steal someone else's boyfriend or meddling in other people's business.
"Yifei is my best friend, so of course I'll do my best to help her when she asks."
"Changchang is better then."
Yan Danchen understood. This little girl had feelings for Chen Wenbo, and she was using Liu Yifei to scare her. How ridiculous.
The person behind her isn't someone to be trifled with; how could she possibly let her date? Otherwise, why wouldn't she help him, and instead ask this girl for help?
……
"Hello, Ms. Yifei, did you call for me?"
"Chen Wenbo, why do you act so strange every time I call you?"
"Isn't this just basic courtesy?"
"You're really polite. Have you rented a place yet? Come to the film set and teach me swordsmanship. I'll treat you to dinner."
Chen Wenbo didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so persistent. "No need to trouble yourself to treat me to a meal. I'll teach you when I go to the film set to film the day after tomorrow."
"Did you and Changchang eat out alone?"
This girl changed the subject so quickly. There's no need to hide such a small thing. "No, I was originally going to thank Changchang for treating me to dinner, but it was a bit of a surprise that we couldn't eat alone."
It's good to have an unexpected surprise. Liu Yifei's mood improved. "So you came to the set without eating? I'll have my assistant buy you some good food. You're not going to tell me you haven't rented an apartment yet, are you?"
Chen Wenbo was telling the truth, but how the other person interpreted it was none of his business. "The house has been rented, but I still need to do laundry and tidy up the room later."
"Alright then, I was planning to treat you to dinner, but since you don't have time, let's do it another time."
"If Yifei has nothing else, I'll hang up. I have things to do."
"It's alright, you go ahead with your work."
Liu Yifei didn't care what Chen Wenbo was busy with, as long as he wasn't eating alone with Changchang.
After hanging up, I called that brat to see if she'd still dare to brag.
When Shu Chang saw Liu Yifei's call, she answered immediately, "Qianqian, I'm eating. What's up?"
"Didn't you say the handsome guy was treating you to dinner? How come you're eating alone now?"
Hearing her best friend's smug voice, Shu Chang was puzzled. "No, I was having dinner with Chen Wenbo. We ate Sichuan food, you know I like that."
Liu Yifei was taken aback. "You're having dinner with Chen Wenbo right now?"
If Shu Chang hadn't said something else in front of that old woman earlier, she would have been ready to shit on her best friend's head right now. "Yeah, didn't you ask at noon?"
Liu Yifei was furious. "Chen Wenbo lied to me! I called him just now and he said he didn't have dinner with you alone. Changchang, don't have dinner with Chen Wenbo anymore. He's a terrible person."
"Oh, I understand. I'll go back after I finish eating."
"Changchang, what are you saying? I already told you he's a liar!"
"Okay, I got it. The food is delicious. We didn't drink any alcohol, Sisi, don't worry. I'm hanging up now."
Liu Yifei was completely confused when she heard the beeping sound from her phone. Was her best friend hard of hearing or sick?
Shu Chang put away her phone and said with a smile to the older woman, "It was Yi Fei on the phone, reminding me not to let Chen Wenbo drink."
"Drinking alcohol is bad for your health, so it's the right thing to do."
Yan Danchen remained calm. Although she didn't know what the other person was saying, the girl kept glancing at her with her eyes during the phone call, which was a clear sign that she was lying. All that acting was for nothing; she had no acting skills at all.
"What, would you two teachers like to drink? I'll go get a bottle."
Chen Wenbo had just paid the bill and returned to the private room when he heard people talking about drinking. What a golden opportunity! If the Fairy Chang'e had a drink, wouldn't it be perfect to ask her for advice tonight?
"I don't drink. Chen Wenbo, I've finished eating. You can take me home now."
Shu Chang no longer wanted to eat. After saying that, Yi Fei would definitely call again to ask what was going on. Anyway, with someone she didn't like around, she didn't have much of an appetite.
"Okay, Changchang, I'll take you there."
Chen Wenbo noticed that neither of them had touched their chopsticks, so he assumed they had finished eating. He figured the female celebrity probably ate very little for dinner.
I don't know how this girl got here, but it's getting dark now, so it's essential to get her back safely. Otherwise, we really can't afford the consequences if something happens.
She stood up and winked at the Moon Goddess, "Sister Chen, I've already paid the bill."
Yan Danchen blinked and replied, "Okay, Wenbo, you take Changchang back to the hotel. Her assistant must be worried too."
The two left the house. Chen Wenbo was in a great mood and hurried to send Shu Chang back so he could ask the fairy Chang'e for advice.
After hailing a cab to go to the VIP building, Shu Chang took the initiative to call Yi Fei, but the call was hung up three times already.
"Sisi, there were strangers nearby just now."
"Outsider? Didn't you say you were having dinner alone with Chen Wenbo?"
"There's one more person in our group; let's talk about it privately."
It wouldn't be good for Shu Chang to talk about some deep topics in the car, otherwise it would get out.
Liu Yifei couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and said, "Where are you now? Come join our group, I'm so bored."
Shu Chang thought for a moment and decided it would be good to discuss a solution with her best friend. "Okay, I was just about to go back to the hotel."
"Master, go to the entrance of the Qin King's Palace."
With the driver around, Shu Chang, who had been holding back all the way, finally got out of the car and couldn't hold back her chatter any longer.
"I just told you to be careful of Yan Danchen. Filming can go on for months at a time, and these older people won't care about your status. Be careful not to get scammed by her."
"What's wrong with Yan Danchen? I don't have any money. At most, she'll just scam me out of a meal."
"Who cheated you out of your money? They're the ones who cheated you out of your money and won't take responsibility. They'll leave after filming, and you'll be taken advantage of."
Isn't this a good thing? Chen Wenbo pretended to be an innocent rabbit, "Changchang, have you heard something? It can't be, right? I'm just an extra, what would they want from me?"
"Do you even need to hear about this? I already heard about it when I was filming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils two years ago. Never mind, I won't tell you about it. Just remember, he's trying to scam you, so stay away from him."
Shu Chang said it's not good to say that people like Chen Wenbo, with his looks and status, are most popular with older women, making it seem like the film and television industry is so dirty.
"Really? I've heard it too, something about 'goose, goose, goose,' isn't that just a rumor?"
"Why aren't there any other rumors? Let's go find Sisi. Don't go back now, or that old woman will come looking for you."
"this……"
Just as Chen Wenbo was about to come up with an excuse to refuse, the phone rang again. He glanced at it but didn't answer, simply putting it in his pocket.
"Changchang, I have something to do. Go find Yifei."
