Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Good Luck

Quan Feifei’s face stiffened, "How could it be her?"

Upon hearing Quan Jinbei remark that it was Shi Yaoguang who had first noticed her, enabling her swift recognition by the family, Feifei found it somewhat hard to accept.

If it had been Quan Jinbei who had helped, she could have used this opportunity to climb the social ladder.

But now, Quan Jinbei was telling her that the person who recognized her was Shi Yaoguang...

This made things a bit difficult.

Feifei couldn’t help but recall, in her mind, the scene from the funeral.

Hoping she might find evidence of Quan Jinbei deceiving her.

However, not only did she fail to find any evidence, she instead found herself caught between a rock and a hard place.

Because...

She remembered that fragments of Shi Yaoguang’s figure had surfaced in her memory that day.

And what she herself had been saying to Mr. Pang at the time.

The thought that she had agreed to "play around" with Mr. Pang, just to get a role, hit her hard.

And if Shi Yaoguang might have overheard her conversation with Mr. Pang and possibly told Quan Jinbei, Feifei felt on the verge of breaking down.

She immediately looked at Quan Jinbei with a nervous gaze, hoping her suspicion was wrong.

Quan Jinbei hadn’t heard anything from Shi Yaoguang, but judging by Feifei’s expression, he knew there must be a hidden story.

He pretended to be unaware of anything, deliberately keeping silent, deciding to wait until Feifei couldn’t help but speak first.

"Brother Jinbei, did she, did she tell you everything about me?"

Quan Jinbei pretended to ponder for a while before nodding his head.

Seeing this, Feifei’s heart chilled by half, but still holding onto a glimmer of hope, she sniffled and asked with a choked voice, "Brother Jinbei, knowing about my past, would you, would you still like me?"

Quan Jinbei: "????"

He was a breath away from looking at Quan Feifei as if she were brainless.

"Why would I like you?"

It wasn’t sarcasm.

It was a genuine question he wanted an answer to.

Where did Feifei get the confidence from, thinking she was so likable?

Even to the point of wanting him to like her.

Even the most nonsensical rumors weren’t as complete as this.

Feifei, however, put on an aggrieved look, "Brother Jinbei, is it because of Shi Yaoguang that you don’t like me?"

"Or maybe, did she say something about me to you? If that’s the case, I can explain!"

Hearing her urgent tone, Quan Jinbei didn’t know whether to be speechless or to just turn and walk away.

Where on earth did Feifei get the confidence to think he would like her?

No.

What kind of bizarre idea made her think that he, a married man, would be interested in her?

Feifei didn’t think her behavior was ridiculous; she was still pondering whether Shi Yaoguang had deliberately said something to him, causing him to have an unfavorable opinion of her.

Seeing that he was still sporting that indifferent expression, she became so anxious that she wanted to reach out and grasp his arm, only to have him swiftly avoid her touch.

The Best Actress System, witnessing Feifei’s actions, was speechless, "Host, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"I just want him to know that I am the one who is most suitable for him!"

Feifei spoke to the System, but her gaze remained fixed on Quan Jinbei’s face, her tone firm, "I will definitely win him over! He’s ignoring me now, but once he falls for me, I’ll make sure he regrets it!"

Best Actress System: "..."

After a long silence, it finally replied, "I wish you luck."

Quan Feifei was somewhat dissatisfied, Was this system really hers, or did it belong to someone else?

Why didn’t it seem to take her side at all?

She internally complained about the System for a while but wore an expression of utmost grievance on her face, like she was about to break into tears, "Brother Jinbei, do you have some misunderstanding about me? If you do, you can just tell me, so we won’t have any misunderstandings. If you say nothing, I’ll be really worried."

Quan Jinbei grew increasingly impatient with her. The only reasons he had come here today were, firstly, to give face to Quan Chengyi.

And secondly, to figure out if there was anything strange about Quan Feifei.

But that didn’t mean he had to deal with this himself, so he decided he’d had enough.

Just as he was about to look for Shi Yaoguang, he saw Quan Feifei’s expression suddenly change.

She clutched her forehead and started to sway unsteadily, like she was drunk.

However, Quan Jinbei knew very well that she hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol today.

There was no smell of alcohol on her, so it was clear she wasn’t drunk.

As he was thinking this, he heard Quan Feifei speak with feigned weakness, "Brother Jinbei, can you help me?"

While saying this, her face showed a pained expression, "Brother Jinbei, besides you, there’s no one else who can help me now. Please don’t tell my dad about my drug... abuse, okay?"

She sobbed softly, "I really didn’t mean to dabble in these things. Someone set me up, and I don’t want my dad to know that I’ve gone astray. Brother Jinbei, you can rest assured, I will definitely control myself and not touch those things again. Now, can you help me back to my room please?"

This was a spur-of-the-moment excuse she had come up with.

Quan Jinbei already knew about her past.

It was too late for her to pretend to be a pure and innocent damsel.

If that was the case, she might as well fall completely.

After all, nothing gave a person a greater sense of conquest than persuading a wayward woman to mend her ways.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people passionate about this pursuit.

The Best Actress System didn’t understand Quan Feifei’s maneuver and couldn’t help but ask her what she was trying to do: "Host, are you sure this is going to work?"

"Of course it’s going to work!" Quan Feifei was very confident in herself.

In her view, all men were the same.

As long as they entertained the idea, they would inevitably succumb.

Once Quan Jinbei fell into her trap, he wouldn’t be able to escape easily.

Thinking of this, she filled with anticipation.

And so, she put even more effort into her performance.

"Brother Jinbei, please help me, just this once!"

Unfortunately, the flower has its wishes, but the water flows heartlessly by.

No matter how pitiful Quan Feifei seemed or how much she appeared to need sympathy, Quan Jinbei remained unmoved.

He was not only unmoved, but he even advised her seriously, "Since something like this has happened, you should tell your dad. Otherwise, he will be very worried about you. Don’t you think it would make him worry?"

Quan Feifei pouted, "But, but the reason I don’t tell him is exactly because I don’t want him to worry! Brother Jinbei, please don’t tell my dad, okay? I really don’t want him to lose sleep over my issues anymore."

Quan Jinbei fell silent. Seeing this, Quan Feifei thought he was wavering and felt a surge of excitement, yet her face still wore a look of mournful entreaty, "Brother Jinbei, thank you for being willing to help me!"

With that, she extended her hand towards Quan Jinbei, hoping he would support her.

However.

Quan Jinbei, this heartless man, faced with a delicate and beautiful woman before him, rejected her without a moment’s hesitation!

This caused Quan Feifei, who had just thought Quan Jinbei was interested in her, to flash an angry look.
