From Sidekick to Bigshot

And thus everyone started to recommend the female lead of Jupiter’s MV for the role. Although they didn’t even know her name, in their minds, she suited the image of the character in the original novel the most.

The Internet was buzzing with the news. Quickly, the students of Shenghua High School also followed suit.

No matter how much they disliked Jian Yiling before, now, she had been in an MV. It was also possible that she would be cast in a web drama. To them, it felt like she was doing their school proud.

When they talked to their friends and relatives, they could say, ‘This person is from our class!’ It was something to be proud of.

And thus, when the students saw that people on the Internet had recommended Jian Yiling for the role, they had rushed to leave messages of support.

In fact, some students even started a post on the campus forum to rally support for Jian Yiling. They wanted to get her the role in the new upcoming web drama.

When Zhu Sha saw these posts and comments, she was incredibly unimpressed: “What’s wrong with these people? A few days ago, they disliked Jian Yiling. In fact, they even insulted and avoided her! However, now, they’re so easily swayed! How can their opinions of someone change so quickly?”

After Zhu Sha finished speaking, she took a look at Mo Shiyun. She saw that Mo Shiyun had a slightly ugly expression on her face.

“Shiyun, what do you think about this matter?”

“Don’t pay attention to it. You can’t control what other people think. We can only control ourselves. If people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them either.”

However, as Mo Shiyun said the last sentence, the image of Jian Yiling suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Why was she at the restaurant that day?

If people don’t mess with me… Was that going to happen though?

In the classroom, Jian Yunnao also heard everyone else’s discussion. The feeling in his heart was quite strange.

In the past, he would have definitely stopped them.

He didn’t like people expressing their opinions about his sister.

However, now, he couldn’t even say that.

He no longer knew what his sister was thinking. He didn’t know whether she was interested in entering the entertainment industry or not.

In his heart, he didn’t want his sister to go into the entertainment industry… There were heaps of unspoken rules that had to be followed in that industry. People often used improper behaviors to gain favorable treatment.

However, as of now, he didn’t even know how to talk to his sister anymore. How would he ask her about this?

Jian Yunnao laid down on the table. He used his uninjured arm as a cushion as he tried to bury his emotions into his arms.

Jian Yiling only heard about the matter when she heard Hu Jiaojiao talk about it.

However, she didn’t have a Weibo account. And thus, she couldn’t come out and issue a statement saying that she wouldn’t take part in the production of the web drama.

She couldn’t do anything about their speculation. And thus, she decided to not care about it.

At the end of the school day, Jian Yiling received a message from one of her contacts:

[Dr. F.S, if you want to enter the entertainment industry, you should tell me! Although it’s only a supporting role, the image of the character is quite suitable for you. By the way, I have a better script here. A top director in our country will be overseeing the production of the drama. If you’re interested, I can recommend you.]

[No, I’m not interested.] Jian Yiling replied. She decisively refused the offer.

[Then why is there so much discussion on the Internet?]

[The Internet is not me.]

[Ahh, okay then. Although that’s quite regrettable, it’s still your decision. If you wanted to enter the entertainment industry, I was going ready to provide you a custom-made drama.]

[I’m not. Thank you.]

[Ahh, you’re still so heartless. But I still like you so much.]

[You’re a woman.] Jian Yiling replied.

[Ermm… You’re still as serious as before. Seriously cute I mean.]

[We don’t know each other well.]

The other party spoke as though she knew Jian Yiling very well.

However, the truth was that they didn’t even know each other much.

At most, they had known each other for a month.

However, according to the other party, it seemed as though they had a ‘life-long’ friendship.

However, this was merely because Jian Yiling had saved her life.

[Dr. F.S, you’re always jabbing holes in my poor heart. I think my heart is in pain. I need a doctor! I need you to diagnose me.]

Jian Yiling stopped replying to the other party’s messages.

If she replied, the other party would talk on and on and on.
