Chapter 3473: Diva, Diva (30)

She was no longer Qiao Ling’er. She had a brand-new identity. Even if Yue Wenlun told the world she was Qiao Ling’er, no one would believe him. In fact, they would just think he was insane.

Therefore, she had nothing to fear. Even if Yue Wenlun recognized her and paraded the fact around, advertising it to the public, people simply wouldn't buy it. Her face was completely different, as was her identity.

She held the advantage in this situation. Qiao Ling’er no longer felt her previous panic. She had steadied herself completely and looked at Yue Wenlun with eyes full of contempt.

She was actually looking forward to it. If Yue Wenlun went around claiming she was Qiao Ling’er, people would only view him as a madman.

She could even claim that Yue Wenlun had taken a liking to her and tried to rape her, but since she refused him, he was now going around claiming she was Qiao Ling’er. She could use that storm to gain even more attention and boost her popularity.

Qiao Ling’er was fearless. She was no longer afraid of Yue Wenlun’s revenge. Yue Wenlun was already a spent force whose reputation in the entertainment industry was utter trash.

"Go ahead and call the police. Let them be the judge. Maybe tomorrow’s entertainment headline will be: 'Disgraced Rapist Best Actor Award Winner Harasses Talented Original Songwriter.'"

Qiao Ling’er looked at Yue Wenlun provocatively. She was almost hoping he would do it. She wasn't quite famous enough yet and needed to hitch a ride on someone else's notoriety.

At this moment, Yue Wenlun was nothing more than a stepping stone. He was just a wretched man. Did he really think he could do anything to her?

Yue Wenlun stared at the arrogant Qiao Ling’er in disbelief. She showed neither shame nor guilt. How could there be such a brazen woman in this world?

Even though she had been caught red-handed, she wasn't afraid. Instead, she wanted to use the scandal to fuel her rise to fame. She was brimming with confidence and showed no fear.

How could he have ever thought this woman was simple, kind, and pure?

But more than that, Yue Wenlun was curious. How had Qiao Ling’er managed this? Her face had been completely altered, and even her identity had changed.

Looking at Qiao Ling’er’s expression, that ID card was likely legitimate. How had she pulled it off? If she had that kind of power or backing, why was she still bothering with the entertainment industry?

She wouldn't have slept with him for ten million if she had a real background. Someone with powerful connections wouldn't have sold their virtue for money.

Qiao Ling’er’s family situation was poor, so how had she undergone such a total metamorphosis, to turn into a different person with a new identity?

Yue Wenlun found it utterly baffling. He felt that Qiao Ling’er was shrouded in mysteries, and it was essential for him to go back and investigate her.

The more he thought about it, the more Yue Wenlun suspected that Qiao Ling’er was hiding a major secret, one that he might be able to uncover. If he rashly went to the police or the media to tell the truth, it would only increase her exposure and end up helping her. Qiao Ling’er wasn't the only smart person in the world. Having suffered at her hands, Yue Wenlun had learned his lesson.

"I will make you beg for mercy on your knees eventually. The time just isn't right yet. Watch your back."

Yue Wenlun threw out these words before turning to leave. There was no point in tangling with her now. He needed to investigate that ID card and the secret behind her change of face. When the time came, he would make her wish she were dead.

Seeing Qiao Ling’er again had reignited his hatred. She felt no guilt for what she had done to him and wasn't even afraid. This was an outright provocation and an insult. She didn't respect him at all, and that realization stung. He truly was just a stepping stone for her.

He had imagined how terrified Qiao Ling’er would be when he recognized her, but that hadn't happened. Instead, he was the one nearly dying of rage at her brazenness. Moreover, he truly had no way to deal with her right now.

Yue Wenlun had suffered a total defeat!

"Please do your research before you point fingers. I’m not some 'Qiao Ling’er.' If you’re sick, go see a doctor. A brain is a useful thing to have."

Qiao Ling’er sat in her chair with her long legs crossed, mocking him.

Yue Wenlun restrained himself. He maintained a gentlemanly poise and said, "I will. Look forward to it."

"I’ll be waiting." Qiao Ling’er gave a small smile, looking dignified and elegant, like a magnificent peony. "Also, my name is Li Kelan, not Qiao Ling’er."

Yue Wenlun gave a snort and walked away. He immediately went to verify the information on the ID card he had photographed.

It turned out that the ID card was genuine, and the photo on it was real as well. It seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with Qiao Ling’er, appearing to be nothing more than a misunderstanding caused by a wrong phone number.

But he was certain this was Qiao Ling’er. How had she done it? Until he figured it out, Yue Wenlun wasn't going to broadcast his suspicions.

Besides, no one would believe him anyway. Yue Wenlun called Ning Shu to warn her to be careful of a woman named Li Kelan.

Ning Shu was a bit surprised that Yue Wenlun had found Qiao Ling’er so quickly.

But why was he calling her to say this? She was busy right now with promotional activities for her television drama and making money.

There was no need to do anything about Qiao Ling’er. She would eventually expose herself, just like she did with the script plagiarism.

Ning Shu had already given many classic songs to idols and famous lyricists. Professional work was best handled by professionals. If another plagiarism scandal broke out, Qiao Ling’er would definitely be in for it.

When things went south, most people would side with the professionals rather than an amateur who had no reputation, no talent, and was a complete novice in every way.

"Mu Shuyao, be careful. This woman's shamelessness is beyond anything you can imagine," Yue Wenlun said to Ning Shu over the phone.

Ning Shu set her phone aside and continued scrolling through the gossip and news on her computer. She wasn't really listening to what Yue Wenlun was saying. As for his motives, she assumed he either wanted to find an ally or felt a twinge of guilt. Perhaps in his time of trouble, he had thought of his former girlfriend.

He might even want to reconcile.

Ning Shu ignored him completely. In the original storyline, Yue Wenlun hadn't given the host a second thought, and had instead followed Qiao Ling’er around like a puppy and acted as her protector.

Now that the two of them had become bitter enemies, he was coming back to his ex-girlfriend. Well, a good horse wouldn't turn back to eat the grass it already passed!

Who would just stand in one spot waiting for you forever? No one would stay devoted and wait for another person indefinitely. They had their own lives to live!

Yet Yue Wenlun actually believed his ex-girlfriend was still pining for him. He really thought he was a precious treasure.

Ning Shu replied, "Oh, this has nothing to do with me. Please don't call me again."

Then, she hung up the phone and immediately blocked him.
