Chapter 365: Chapter 366: Oh, Platform

Meng Wan came out from the restroom after removing her makeup and washing her face, but she didn’t see Li Zimu and Zhang Yingru. Frowning, she went out to look for them.

Ever since that afternoon, when she had accidentally overheard He Jinxia talking to her parents, Meng Wan’s mind had been filled with confusion.

She had wanted to talk to He Jinxia alone, but there were too many people at the dinner party in the evening. She hadn’t even had a chance to speak to her, let alone chat.

Since she couldn’t ask for Jinxia’s help, Meng Wan instinctively thought to look for Zhang Yingru.

In the JY girl group, Zhang Yingru held considerable importance. All the members treated Sister Ying as family. Without Zhang Yingru, there would definitely not be the JY of today.

Moreover, because Zhang Yingru was older and had experienced more, many members looked up to her as a confidant and big sister. Meng Wan was among them.

In the past, whenever she was puzzled, it was Zhang Yingru who would enlighten her.

Looking around, she came to the corridor. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks at the end of the hallway and saw Zhang Yingru and Li Zimu talking beside the railing.

They were a bit far from her, and just as she thought about walking over, suddenly, Li Zimu cried out a name excitedly—

"He Jinxia!"

Meng Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Before her mind could form a thought, her body reflexively stepped back several paces and hid to the side.

She was too far away to hear their conversation. Yet, for some reason, Meng Wan felt uneasy.

After a moment’s thought, Meng Wan walked in another direction and took a shortcut to the corridor, getting closer to Zhang Yingru and Li Zimu.

Soon, their conversation reached her ears.

"Don’t overthink it. I don’t believe He Jinxia has discovered anything."—That was Sister Ying’s voice.

Li Zimu spoke somewhat agitatedly, "Sister Ying, He Jinxia has completely changed. Look, you tried to test her and got nothing. Maybe she already knows!"

Zhang Yingru said coldly, "Li Zimu, I think you’ve gone mad with paranoia! She’s a rising star now. Would she be popular without some skills? If she were still as foolish as before, she would have been brought down by other artists by now. Do you still wish for her to be as naive as before?"

Li Zimu was silent for a while but still unwilling to let it go, "Sister Ying, you said she’s gotten smarter. Could she have realized there was another reason for her past self?"

Zhang Yingru replied indifferently, "Zimu, I understand what you’re thinking, and I’m worried too. However, we’ve been very discreet about that matter. Even if He Jinxia senses something wrong, she won’t find any evidence. We’re not going to end up in jail. What are you still worried about?"

"What’s most important now is to make the JY girl group a hit. She’s more popular than us at the moment, and JY is at a disadvantage. He Jinxia could say a few words and the media would attack JY, but if JY becomes hotter than her, then we can say whatever we want. Stop overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, Meng Wan’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth, panic spreading over her.

She couldn’t hear the rest of the conversation because she had left that place, her body cold and trembling with fear.

What on earth had she overheard?

Zhang Yingru and Li Zimu... What had they done to wrong Jinxia?!

Meng Wan’s heartbeat raced as she sprinted back to the dorm.

She lay in bed, wrapping herself tightly with a blanket, but she still felt so cold, a chill that spread from her body to her heart, one that couldn’t be warmed no matter how much she covered up.

Meng Wan turned over, facing the wall, her eyes wide open. Her mind was a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, occasionally flashing back to the faces of JY’s initial formation, brimming with youthful freshness as if they were fearless of everything.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight sound came from the door, which then opened.

Li Zimu swept his eyes over Wen Ningning and Meng Wan, and seeing that both of them were resting, he closed the door again.

What he didn’t see was that behind the door, Meng Wan turned around with a complicated expression on her face.

The next morning, Jinxia wasn’t woken up by her mother but by her agent Luo You’s barrage of urgent calls.

Since the scenes featuring Su Qingwan in "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" had already aired, Gu Qiao worried that the viewership might decline, so he wanted He Jinxia to post a video as "Su Qingwan."

Although "Small Bridge" wasn’t far from the finale, it still had to air for four more days. Having the viewership drop instead of increasing towards the end would not look good.

He Jinxia was of course willing. After listening to Luo You, she quickly got ready, headed to the company, and had Tony, who had been waiting at the company, do her styling.

Today she also needed to attend a brand event for Feier, so after getting styled, she looked radiant and recorded a video.

By midday, He Jinxia had her styling done. Feier was a sportswear brand, so her look for the day was sporty and energetic, ditching hot pants and crop tops for a cool athletic outfit.

Because He Jinxia had softer facial features, to match today’s style, she went with a cool-toned, light makeup look.

She had Cheng Xiaohua turn on the VCR, and dressed in that outfit, she appeared in the video to respond to Gu Qiao’s request, urging everyone to continue supporting "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People."

"Hello, everyone. I am He Jinxia, and I am Su Qingwan! The plot of ’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’ is getting more and more exciting. Although I have completed my mission in the drama, our connection doesn’t end there. Tune in to Huadu TV and Tengfei Video tonight. Don’t miss out—Small Bridge girls, charge ahead!"

This less than one-minute VCR, after being edited by professionals, was sent to Gu Qiao by Luo You.

In less than ten minutes, Small Bridge’s official Weibo released the clip, and He Jinxia’s Weibo shared it at the same moment, with the caption:

[Small Bridge girls, charge ahead! [cool]]

Once the video was out, the official Weibo of Small Bridge and He Jinxia’s Weibo presented two different responses.

Under the official Weibo of Small Bridge, a bunch of people commented:

[Does the Fat Emperor mean that there will be more scenes with Su Qingwan? But Su Qingwan is already dead, so will she appear in people’s memories?]

[I knew the crew wouldn’t be so kind; even after death, they can’t let go, pulling out another memory scene!]

[Damn, just for the sake of seeing Su Qingwan again, even if it’s just in memories, I’m going to watch it, ahhh!]

[Small Bridge girl here, pleading for a good ending for Qingwan!]

...

Under He Jinxia’s Weibo, there was a completely different vibe.

Her fans were not only keeping up with "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People" but also noticed her makeup.

[So cool, where is the Fat Emperor going? To do some sports?]

[Checked the official schedule the Fat Emperor released, she’s going to be at Feier’s event today!]

[Going to a Feier event...event...event...]

[The person above, did you think of something indescribable? Hmm, I won’t tell you that I’m a five-star user of Feier, la la la, I’m taking my little bag and can’t wait to meet the Fat Emperor this afternoon~]

Among the lively comments, there were occasional messages like [Qingwan, you died so tragically, so bitterly, so unfairly ah], which were really so amusing they elicited a hearty laugh.
