Transmigration as a Female Supporting Role Who Attempted Suicide

Chapter 61

After the incident in the morning, Ji Nian was clearly absent-minded when she went to class with Yu Luobai in the afternoon. She kept thinking, would the villain and male lead become suspicious?

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Seeing the woman's listless appearance, Yu Luobai raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ji Nian sighed deeply, she really felt like the script in her hand was a hot potato. She was just an ordinary person, how could she act? Wasn't this just playing around?

"It's okay, let's continue." Ji Nian tried her best to invigorate her spirit. She was an actress after all, the most important thing right now was to resolve the issue of joining the crew in a week.

Yu Luobai looked at the woman's bare face. Although her hair was casually tied in a ponytail and she wore loose T-shirt, she still gave off an elegant aura and looked very beautiful.

To be honest, he had seen many women in the entertainment industry, but she was the first one to not care about her image at all in front of him.

"I've read this script before, it's about how the second female lead was once saved by the male lead, so she secretly harbored feelings for him." Ji Nian frowned.

Yu Luobai gently nodded. "At the beginning, the character setting of this second female lead was not bad. As a young lady from a prestigious family, she had an outgoing and lively personality. It was because she liked the male lead that she became jealous and slowly turned evil."

"It's just that I can't act out this kind of feeling." Ji Nian said awkwardly.

"The male lead is Cheng Liran." Yu Luobai looked at the woman with amusement in his eyes and said with a laugh, "Just act out your feelings for him."

Ji Nian was stunned. When she heard the name Cheng Liran, she felt her heart tightened slightly and pain spread from her chest.

Seeing the woman freeze, Yu Luobai realized the joke went too far. Somewhat embarrassed, he rubbed his nose and said, "Sorry."

Ji Nian felt a little flustered. Why would she react this way? In the original book, Ji Nian committed suicide, but after she transmigrated into the book, she was still affected by the original owner.

"It's okay..." Ji Nian forced a smile.

But to Yu Luobai, her smile was too reluctant. He saw a transient bleakness flash through her eyes at that moment.

"You can act more lively and spoiled to portray this character in the early stages." Seeing the woman seemingly back to normal, Yu Luobai said, "Let's start rehearsing now. Try to immerse yourself into this role."

Looking at the serious man in front of her, Ji Nian was a little stunned. Although it was very inappropriate to space out now, Yu Luobai was just too handsome.

"Okay, I'll try."

At this time, Ye Jingzhan just finished a meeting and saw Liu Yi walk in with a tablet.

"Mr. Ye." Liu Yi called out.

Ye Jingzhan looked up and asked lightly, "What is it?"

Liu Yi handed the tablet over and placed it on the desk. He said, "Here is all the information about Ji Nian. She's quite pitiful."

Ye Jingzhan nodded. It was already a miracle that this woman could get close to him. He would just ignore her for the sake being Shen Shuyao’s friend.

However, the words she said today made him suspect she had ulterior motives, and was even able to chat and laugh with Pei Yuchen. She was not a simple person.

Ye Jingzhan tapped open the tablet and scrolled down. He was stunned and couldn’t help frowning.

Liu Yi said, "She dropped out of high school in 10th grade and worked for two years. She came to Beijing when she was 18. By chance, she became a trainee. After training for a year, she debuted at 19."

Ye Jingzhan nodded, then his eyes flashed with surprise. "Cheng Liran? The celebrity's son from the Cheng family?"

"Yes, there are also rumors online that the two dated for a year and recently broke up. The woman even sued and went into debt of 100 million yuan."

Ye Jingzhan sneered. "Would the Cheng family allow something like this to happen?"

"The Cheng family later suppressed this matter. But it is strange that after the relationship was exposed, Miss Ji has never responded to it." Liu Yi said.

After reading the information, Ye Jingzhan roughly had an idea. Ji Nian was just like those other women, trying to marry into money. However, her methods were quite special.

"Ignore it for now." Ye Jingzhan put down the tablet and said lightly, "If she tries to do anything, kick her out of Beijing."

Liu Yi was surprised. For some reason, he suddenly felt very sorry for this woman. He was the one who investigated her information, but the results were shocking.

It couldn't be simply summed up in a few words. This woman's past life was really unimaginable.

Ji Nian didn't know that she had been thoroughly investigated by others. She was still trying her best to learn acting.

Yu Luobai rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "I think your singing is quite good, why not switch careers?"

Ji Nian: "..."

"Your acting is too deliberate, it just gives a very fake feeling. You are not truly immersing yourself into the role." Yu Luobai said directly.

"I think I can still salvage this a bit..." Ji Nian said awkwardly.

Yu Luobai looked at his wristwatch and said solemnly, "I still have a schedule to catch. Go back and practice in front of a mirror. I want to see improvement from you tomorrow."

"Got it!" A firm and loud voice.

After being hit in her confidence in acting, Ji Nian still had a listless appearance when she returned to the villa.

She had just collapsed on the sofa when WeChat popped up with a message.

He Yi: Sister, did you go jogging today?

Ji Nian: ...

He Yi: Losing 5 kg is imperative.

Ji Nian: I'm requesting a day off.

He Yi: No way. You'll start filming in a few days. It's already hard for thin people to lose weight. Hurry up and do 40 minutes of aerobic exercise. Xiao Tang will send a salad over for you tonight.

Ji Nian: Why torture me!

He Yi: Hurry up, immediately, go exercise!

Ji Nian: Bye!

Before she could catch her breath, and her butt hadn't warmed up the couch yet, although very reluctant, Ji Nian still chose to resign herself to fate and prepared to exercise with a hopeless look.

She jogged to the park in the villa area, looking at the road under her feet. She heaved a deep sigh and slowly started running.

Forty minutes felt neither long nor short, but it was really torturous to actually exercise.

After barely finishing the run, Ji Nian walked back with her entire head drenched in sweat. It was scorching hot, and 40 minutes of exercise could practically kill someone.

As she passed the road in front of the villain's house, Ji Nian felt a little guilty and quickly jogged past until she felt she had run quite far before slowing down.

Ji Nian heaved a sigh of relief, but when she looked up, she froze in place.

Pei Yuchen looked at the woman in front of him. Her cheeks were flushed red, and her bangs stuck to her forehead from sweat. Her hair was also a bit messy.

"Miss Ji?" Pei Old Madam said in surprise.

"Miss Ji." Pei Yuchen greeted her with a smile and asked, "Exercising this afternoon?"

Ji Nian blinked her innocent big eyes. What kind of luck was this? Was she fated to keep encountering the villain?

"Good afternoon, Dr. Pei." Although very unhappy inside, she still greeted him obediently.
