Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 257: Selena Tang (6)

"I'll be selling the house. Help me find a buyer and a place for me to move in." He told a real estate agent he contacted through a number found on the internet.

The other party asked him for some details about the property and his preferences for his new home. Jiang Li answer the other's questions briefly and then hung up.

That was exactly when his food arrived. It had only taken five minutes. After giving a polite smile to the same waitress who walked away with a slightly red face, the man discreetly sneered in his heart.

'In all worlds that I've been to, three things never changed: love can make people blind or idiot change is constant and people are always visual animals.'

'Mo Fang is someone like this waitress too, a person who initially fell in love with the Original due to his face. However, I'm sure that she fell for him too because of his connections and resources. After all, around that time, she was nothing but a fledgling actress whereas the Original has three years of experience in the industry.'

'Look at what vanity could do to a person. Over time, she got acquainted with people with greater successes and deeper wallets. Her ambition soared higher too. Of course, it was natural for her to abandon the Original.'

It was hard not to shake his head at the thought.

Anyways, the Original was different from him. He held no attachment to the ex-wife, so he was not feeling sad about being divorced by her. This was why when he regained his senses and smelled the aroma of the signature dish he ordered, his appetite also returned, and he began to ate with relish.

...

While Jiang Li was having his meal after the makeover, the person who just called him this morning was talking on the phone with Liu De, the transmigrated guy who had already been in this world for one and half a year.

"Mr. Liu, the director has expressed his stance. He might be kicking Mr. Zheng out soon. The result should be out today," said Xu Da in a low voice, as if he was afraid somebody else would hear him.

Within a lavishly decorated room which was actually Liu De's private room in the set, was the male lead who was wearing a smug smile in his face. The year and a half spent under the convenience of the system had made him extremely arrogant and confident. His tone reflected these as he replied smugly, "Good. Since Fang'er dislike him now, he should know his place and disappear completely from her life. I want that man out of the entertainment industry soon."

The male lead's self-righteous words elicited an eye-roll from Xu Da, which he only dared to do since Liu De could not see his current facial expression. Of course, if the other was before him, he would even put on a flattering face.

Yet in all honesty, behind Liu De's back, the assistant director was thinking that the actor was really bold. The actor snatched somebody's wife and put a green hat on an innocent man's head. How morally upright could he be? On top of this, he was known to be keeping several ambiguous relationships with many beautiful women. Who knows how far those ambiguous relationships had gone? 

These thoughts kept running in Xu Da's head. The assistant knew he was being a hypocrite in doing so, but he just couldn't help the helplessness and annoyance in his heart. If given a choice, he actually wanted to lead an honest life, but the circumstances forced him to be somebody wearing a mask.

A moment later, Xu Da shook his head. 'Forget it. Even though a few insiders knew the truth, the reason nobody's provoking this damn ancestor is precisely because several powerful women from prestigious backgrounds are protecting him. There are really people with strange eyes and preferences in this world.'

The assistant director erased the thoughts and said in a flattering tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. The investors also expressed their stance so Zheng Xiang will have no choice but leave the set. I lied to him that Ms. Jing, the one playing the female lead has left. Certainly, he'll interpret it as her agency being willing to lose some money just to not have their top actress be wronged and dragged into the mud by his reputation."

"Hmmm. I'll wait for the good news." Liu De simply said before hanging up.

On the other line, Xu Da waved goodbye to the last crew at the set.

Only after that did he stare at his phone for some time, then shook his head.

Those with contact with Zheng Xiang knew the man loved his wife so much, but this wife suddenly turned her back against him. Alright. The others were not aware. But he at least was.

He found the producer pitiful. However, he owed Liu De's woman a favor, so he had to help the slag man.

In this world, owing a favor was definitely one of the most damnable pits one could fall into.

If money was the one owed, at least one knew money was the one needed as repayment or a tangible thing of equal value.

But what about favor? Its concept was very vague. Who could tell for sure what the other party would demand in exchange?

If the favor was small, a person could just take the other to a meal or send gifts. Or maybe a simple thanks would suffice.

However, if it was quite big, for example, Xu Da's case, one which could decide one's future and livelihood, he had to give in to the other's request, no matter how unreasonable it was.

The assistant was doing Liu De's bidding precisely because of this reason. Between a  man he didn't know and his career and of course, future with his family, Xu Da naturally chose the latter.

'Zheng Xiang is nothing but a small fish in the point. He's nothing compared to the owner of the biggest modeling and entertainment company, the queen of the box office, and the heiress of a century-old apparel brand.'

'He's pitiful but who asks him to be the husband of a fickle wife that latched on someone protected by those three women?'
