Chapter 52: Her Poor Ex-Husband Is Really Targeted Everywhere

After returning home, An Ling deeply experienced what it meant to regret.

Why on earth had she kissed Shen Linyan on this bed?

Every time she lay down, An Ling couldn't help but recall the events of that day.

She hadn't gotten used to it even after sleeping for several nights, and would even dream of the divorce scene.

Sitting at her workstation, she propped up her chin and revised the script on her computer, still letting out a yawn.

Ms. Chen walked over and handed her a cup of coffee: "Didn't sleep well again? You've been yawning a lot lately."

"A little." An Ling took the coffee.

"Filming is about to start next week. Shen Fuyuan's schedule is confirmed, right? It's time to have someone set up the camera positions."

Ms. Chen sat next to her, "Call Nan Zhechuan when you go, he'll go with you. He's also an executive producer and has a lot of experience. You can ask him if there's anything you don't understand."

An Ling: "..."

What did this senior look like again?

But she still nodded in agreement first, "Okay."

After Ms. Chen left, An Ling planned to send a message to that senior to decide where to meet, and then everything would be fine.

But before the message could be sent, an unexpected person popped up first.

Zhou Wen: [Sister-in-law, did you and Big Brother really get a divorce?]

She paused.

It's been three or four days, and she's only finding out now?

An Ling: [Yeah, yeah.]

Zhou Wen: [I'm sorry, Sister-in-law, but you shouldn't have said those things at the gathering that day. You know perfectly well that there is nothing going on between Big Brother and me.]

Seeing this, An Ling was instantly amused.

[I didn't say there was anything going on between you two. Wasn't it Lu Jingshen who got triggered and lost his temper first?]

She didn't mind adding fuel to the fire: [Zhou Wen, Lu Jingshen loses his temper so easily, you really can put up with it.]

The other side was silent for a moment, seemingly not knowing how to retort.

After a good while, she replied: [He only acts like this when he encounters this kind of situation.]

An Ling raised an eyebrow. She suddenly realized that this female lead was also hopelessly love-struck.

That makes sense, otherwise how could she stay with an irritable man like Lu Jingshen all this time.

She typed a reply: [Anyway, I'm already divorced. To tell you the truth, that old thing in the Shen family is not a good person. The incident between me and Lu Jingshen from before getting leaked out was actually done by her on purpose. You tell me, the Shen family is so powerful, why couldn't they even suppress a scandal? Also! Your good husband is a mama's boy!]

She didn't understand before, but now she did. Mother Shen simply wanted to ruin her reputation and then drag Shen Linyan down with her.

The novel wrote that Lu Jingshen was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

In An Ling's words, he was just a pig.

He would only listen to Mother Shen, and didn't even dare to speak up when facing Shen Linyan.

She was kindly reminding Zhou Wen. How great would it be to take the money and run away as soon as possible. That old woman Mother Shen only agreed to let Lu Jingshen marry her purely because Lu Jingshen loved her too deeply.

An Ling held up her phone screen, silently hiding her upturned lips.

So hurry up and break up.

It would be best if they divorced, then the male lead would be heartbroken, turn dark and chase his wife, and even have no mind to attend to business.

Then Shen Linyan could take over the entire Shen Corporation at this time! Let that old woman die of anger!

Ha! Just thinking about it feels great!

But the next second, the message Zhou Wen sent made her smile freeze.

[Sister-in-law, it's a bit too much for you to say that.]

An Ling expressionlessly blocked Zhou Wen.

Forget it.

Out of sight, out of mind.

An Ling scheduled all the times, planning to go to Shen Fuyuan's house tomorrow afternoon to set up the camera positions and do a test shoot, and confirmed the precautions once more.

Busy and bustling, the time reached past seven o'clock. The sky gradually darkened, and she was finally able to get off work and go home.

Before getting off work, An Ling specifically searched for news about the Shen Corporation and found that the news of the Shen heir's divorce had not yet been released.

How long are they going to delay announcing it?

An Ling frowned. Dragging it on like this always gave her the feeling that that old woman was up to something.

Walking to her car, just as she opened the door, a middle-aged man suddenly called out to her from behind.

"Miss An."

An Ling turned her head and glanced, but didn't speak.

The middle-aged man was the first to state his identity, "You may not have seen me before. I am Shen Linyan's uncle, Shen Jiandong."

An Ling nodded as a greeting: "Is there something you need?"

"I know you and Shen Linyan are divorced."

Shen Jiandong's tone was confident, "I was also present at the gathering that day. My nephew indeed didn't do a good job. I heard that Miss An has never liked Shen Linyan. Now that you are divorced, doesn't Miss An want to take revenge?"

An Ling: "..."

Was the clarification she posted before really that unbelievable? It seemed like everyone didn't believe she and Shen Linyan had a good relationship.

Speaking of which, since they were already divorced, why was there still a plotline for her as the vicious female supporting character.

An Ling coldly let go of the hand closing the car door and walked to the front of the car.

"Right, our relationship is bad. Let's hear it, how do you want to take revenge."

Her poor ex-husband was really being targeted everywhere.

First his own mother, then his own uncle.

A hint of secret joy flashed across Shen Jiandong's face, but his expression remained amiable: "The gathering that night was suppressed by Shen Linyan's mother. She was afraid it would affect her younger son, so she plans to announce to the public that the divorce is because of your incompatibility."

He held up the USB drive in his hand.

"Here is the video of the gathering that night. As long as on the day the divorce is announced, Miss An steps forward to confirm that it was because of the issues with the two Shen brothers, then public opinion will lean towards Miss An, and the An family will also profit from it."

An Ling understood.

This person didn't want to target Shen Linyan.

But planned to suppress both Shen Linyan and Lu Jingshen.

Too classic.

In novels, there are always sinister relatives fighting with the male lead for the company.

But she had to admit, Shen Jiandong's method was very tempting. Although a peaceful divorce wouldn't hurt her, if she could expose what happened at the gathering that day, the An family could indeed profit from it.

The older brother and younger brother had been entangled with the same woman, argued fiercely at the gathering, the older brother's wife questioned them on the spot, and it ended in a mess.

Look, wouldn't public opinion rise just like that?

The two sons of the Shen family would fall into a scandal, and by then no one in the Shen Corporation would be able to take charge alone, so naturally the biological uncle would benefit.

An Ling didn't speak, just raised her hand and took the USB drive.

The smile on Shen Jiandong's face was expectant and shrewd, "Miss An, happy cooperation."

An Ling gave a fake smile.

Happy my foot.

Could this be the buff of a vicious female supporting character? Why did these people always think she would do bad things.

After getting in the car, An Ling looked at the USB drive in her hand, stayed silent for a moment, and opened her chat window.

[Is it convenient to call now?]

A reply came from the other side half a minute later.

[Convenient.]

After hesitating for a while, she pressed the dial button.

"Beep... beep..."

The moment it connected, An Ling's heart inexplicably tightened, and she gripped her phone tightly.

She tentatively spoke: "Shen Linyan?"

The other side was silent for a few seconds, and then came the man's familiar, gentle voice, "It's me."

"Ah... I don't have much going on, it's just that a person claiming to be your uncle just gave me a USB drive containing what happened at the gathering that day, and he wants me to release it."

An Ling toyed with the USB drive in her hand, her gaze slowly landing on the dashcam.

"I'll give you the video of him coming to find me and the video in the USB drive, and you can show it to that old woman."

Shen Linyan wouldn't lay a hand on Shen Jiandong, so let Mother Shen deal with this threat.

If someone laid a hand on her second son, there was no way that old woman would just let it go.

This strategy would not only eliminate the potential threats to Shen Linyan, but also ignite hostility between Lu Jingshen and the other supporting characters.
