Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 513: Rape?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jin Ting was a smart girl to begin with. Coupled with Zheng Ping’s understanding of every character, his makeup speed was very fast.

As expected, when Jin Ting appeared in front of everyone, although she was dressed like a maidservant, she was still very eye-catching. Even Wen Nian couldn’t help but nod. “As expected of my assistant. She’s beautiful!”

“Of course! I won’t embarrass Sister Nian!” Jin Ting promised.

However, when she was in front of the camera, Jin Ting’s mind went blank. She walked in front of the camera with her hands and feet moving in the same direction. The staff at the side could not help but laugh.

The styling was passable, but the audition was a mess. Seeing so many cameras pointed at her and dozens of staff and actors surrounding her, as well as Director Sun, who was as cold as ice, she suddenly did not know where her eyes should be looking. She said all her lines while looking at the ceiling.

“Did a pie fall from the sky?” Director Sun shouted through the loudspeaker. “Weren’t you pretty good just now? Look at the camera and say your lines! Hurry up!”

After being scolded by him, Jin Ting didn’t know which camera to look at. In the last ten minutes of the audition, she didn’t even say her lines.

She looked at Wen Nian aggrievedly. Wen Nian patted her. “It’s inevitable for this to happen the first time. Anyone will be nervous.”

However, this did not comfort Jin Ting at all. “I thought I could at least act as a maidservant! In the end, I guess I won’t even have the chance to act as a dog! Boohoo!”

Director Sun, who was walking over, snorted. “Even the dog I picked knows how to position itself! You look quite capable, but you don’t even know how to look at the camera. Idiot!”

Upon hearing Director Sun’s words and recalling her performance just now, Jin Ting was about to cry.

Director Sun said, “Your lines are not good, but the look is not bad. Your eyes are also quite beautiful. If not, we can have a mute maidservant to the female lead.”

Jin Ting’s eyes widened and she began to circle around Director Sun again.

Director Sun was dizzy from her spinning and quickly waved his hand. “Stop spinning! And why aren’t you shouting this time? Why are you acting so differently each time?”

“Have you ever seen a mute maidservant speak?” Jin Ting pouted.

It was not easy to finalize the styling by eight in the evening. The few of them were already extremely tired. Zheng Mo and Zheng Ping were already busy. Even Gu Wei was pulled over to be manual labor, carrying their costumes and props.

Everyone only knew that something had happened when they returned to their rooms.

Yang Yi had already resigned from the production team. She was still a little sad as she posted and admitted to her relationship with Boss Zhao. Boss Zhao was not married and did not even have an ex-wife. There was nothing wrong with their relationship.

The netizens naturally didn’t believe that there was any true love between a man and a woman who were 30 years apart. It was just a money-and-sex transaction, but the two of them had publicly announced their relationship. There was really nothing much to say. There was even blessings.

“Age is not a problem. True love is invincible!”

“They both don’t have a partner and are not married. Why can’t they fall in love?”

“Aiyo, as expected, money can buy true love! I really can’t bear to look at it.”

“I want to know what Little Master Shen helped her with. Could it be that both of them cheated on each other?”

“That’s right, that’s right. She must have a grudge against Wen Nian. Otherwise, why would something keep happening to her?”

The netizens’ guesses, coupled with Boss Zhao’s connections, indeed uncovered the matter between Wen Nian, Huang Yue, and Wu Gang.

The last time Wen Nian was kidnapped by Wu Gang, news did not leak out, but Huang Yue was at the scene that day and she had guessed 80 to 90% of it.

Boss Zhao gave her some more money and she exaggerated what happened that day. Boss Zhao also found evidence that Wu Gang had been sent to the hospital.

Soon, this matter became the focus of everyone’s attention. Not many people cared about Yang Yi’s matter. The evidence that Xixi gave to the police could not prove that Yang Yi was the one who sent the video. After all, Huang Yue’s computer was the one that sent it, so Yang Yi was exonerated.

Wen Nian had been kidnapped by Wu Gang before. Didn’t that mean that Wen Nian had already been slept with? Whether she had been raped or voluntarily done it, the netizens no longer saw her as the pure Wen Nian.

“Wen Nian is so beautiful. No wonder Director Wu wanted to kidnap her.”

“She must have something on him. Otherwise, with Wen Nian’s personality, why would she remain silent?”

“Maybe Wen Nian was also filmed? God, I don’t dare to think about it.”

“Doesn’t that mean that her boyfriend is cuckolded?”

“Why didn’t she call the police if she was forced? Didn’t she still support Wang Bing? So she is using someone else to stand out?”

“To think I thought Wen Nian was a good person! Disgusting!¹
