Chapter 3 - 003 The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Shi Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it as she spoke.

Initially, this little girl had sold herself for a mere three million and then devoted all the money she earned to her brother and Gu Chengyu, casually gifting hundreds of thousands, even millions. What made it worse was the scumbag accepting the gifts while despising her?

Even a dog would have performed tricks for her with that kind of money.

There was sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment, Shi Lan heard the other party say, "If you really insist, I can pay you back…"

What do they mean? Implying she's petty for wanting back what she gifted?

"I do want it back! Besides, several of the gifts I gave are limited editions. I still have purchase records, and you've worn them in public. If I were to release all the receipts, I don't know what your fans would think of you…"

"Send over the account details, and An Lan, you are truly disgusting!"

As long as the money is returned, all is well.

Shi Lan never blinked an eye when giving gifts in the past, no matter how expensive, but it depends on the person and the trash involved.

Who is she kidding here?

Tang Ze was standing in front of Shi Lan, utterly shocked by her maneuvers, and even began to doubt that this person was really An Lan. Gu Chengyu was so important in An Lan's heart that she would die for him, but now…?

"Are you… possessed by a ghost?"

Shi Lan had just put down her phone and was drinking water when she heard Tang Ze's question, causing her to suddenly cough violently.

Really now...

"You might as well think so. From now on, I won't be indulging Gu Chengyu anymore. Aren't you here to arrange work for me?" Shi Lan said calmly, her demeanor clashing with her slightly baby-faced appearance.

Tang Ze was about to reply when a call came from the company.

Tang Ze stepped out to take it, returning with a peculiar look directed at Shi Lan: "The company has lined up a new movie for you, a big production by Huahai Entertainment, 'Smoke Beauty', and you are playing the second lead female."

"Huahai Entertainment?"

Shi Lan was startled, as she was the founder of this entertainment company. Although it had been only a few years, her iron-fisted leadership and sharp vision, backed by robust capital, quickly carved out a significant presence in the industry. It was now a top-level company. She hadn't expected that she'd now have to rely on her own company to earn her living.

And Huahai Entertainment was probably in the hands of Yan Shixiu by now, right?

"That's what the company said. I don't know why it's so sudden. The script has already been sent to me, and they want me to take you to the company to sign the contract tomorrow. This should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but… the leads of 'Smoke Beauty' are Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini."

"Who did you say?" Shi Lan paused for a moment.

"Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini!"

Shi Lan: "..."

Fine, this really sounds like something she would have done. On one side, An Lan was desperate over the disruption of the National Couple, and on the other, they are getting her to join the team and torment the National Couple.

Shi Lan loved creating buzz. Now, she had successfully landed herself in trouble.

"If you don't want to take it…"

"Can I even refuse?" Shi Lan asked, looking up.

"No! I was afraid your common bootlicking tendency… might rekindle just minutes after dying."

"Oh, then let's accept it. It's perfect for validating the accusations of sabotaging the National Couple. Also, Ze, keep an eye on that jerk to pay back the money. If I don't receive a bank notification each day, send him daily reminders and watch for my brother's return to the country…"

As Tang Ze listened to Shi Lan, he couldn't help but think this was undoubtedly no less than a possession.

"Don't worry, I will watch over that. As for your brother, he was terribly frightened by your suicide. He probably won't bother you for quite some time."

Ha, if he dares to show up, Shi Lan is sure to cripple him, ready for a complete overhaul.

Now, Shi Lan's goals were clear: first, to clear her name of being a green tea bitch, then to break away from this superstar management company, and, while she's at it, send her brother "west." Certainly, she had no intention of becoming the second Shi Lan. This time, she wanted to redo her journey through life.

...

At the Shi family estate, the Shi family members were currently discussing the division of Shi Lan's inheritance with Yan Shixiu…
