Chapter 20 - Two Pots for Our Palace

There were two girls in the picture. One was sweet and charming, the other had dyed red hair, and was wearing a neutral attire. In front of her was a very large birthday cake, and she was smiling very happily.

"Who is she?" Ying Yue asked.

"My good friend Li Xi." Wu Le Jun gave a casual answer before immediately stopping. She threw away the script in her hand and kicked over the chair as she roared, "What do you mean by that? "What do you mean?"

"I suspect that your good friend betrayed you and secretly showed your manuscript to someone else." In response to Wu Le Jun's anger, Ying Yue was still as calm as before, "I believe that the so-called Miss Li Xi is not included in the list of things that you have not shown to others."

"You shut up." Wu Leyan raised her middle finger and gritted her teeth as she said, "That's impossible. Let me tell you, that's impossible."

"I told you." Ying Yue stood up, grabbed the photo on the table and spoke clearly, "There is no impossibility in this world. I just didn't think that Miss Wu, the reason why you had such a huge reaction right now, didn't you explain everything?"

Seeing the two standing up to confront each other, Little Zhang was at a loss of what to do. She understood Ying Yue and trusted in her keen perception and judgement.

"Ahh …" Wu Laijun let out a muffled roar. She covered her face with her hands until she fell on the sofa beside her. It seemed that she had admitted the truth.

Indeed, ever since the plagiarism incident had been discovered by Wu Le Jun, there had been no news of Li Xi, let alone meeting her once.

"No, I'll go look for her now. I want to ask her why she did this. I trust her so much, why did she stab me in the back? She's my best friend."

Seeing Wu Le Jun's broken body and sad appearance, Ying Yue remembered how she had coincidentally seen Sun Yusheng with Xia Xiaoyu at that time. She similarly collapsed, feeling extremely relieved, but also felt that there was nothing she could do.

"Miss Wu, since we already have an idea about this matter." Little Zhang persuaded Wu Le Jun, "There will definitely be an optimistic outcome. Sister Ying Yue and I will definitely help you."

"No." Ying Yue retracted her thoughts, and coldly stared at Wu Le Jun as she said, "The only person that can help you is yourself, and only you."

Wu Le Jun raised her head and looked at Ying Yue, who was standing in front of her. A glimmer of light slowly appeared in her dull eyes. Indeed, if she was unable to resolve this little issue, what qualifications did she have to be in this circle?

Wu Laijun rubbed his face with both hands, pursed his lips and said, "If I get the evidence that Lishi betrayed me, are you sure you can make that singer admit to plagiarism?"

Miss Wu, I will personally send a message to support you. Aside from helping you build up your momentum, I think a legal way is better, the more famous a person is, the more afraid they will be of going to court for a lawsuit. Think about it, everything is exposed to the public, and as long as this piece of work is yours, they will definitely lose.

"Right." Little Zhang nodded in agreement, "In other words, if we really go all the way to lawsuit, you will benefit greatly from it."

Hearing their words, Wu Le Jun pulled himself together bit by bit. Ying Yue sat back down, tidied up the manuscript, and looked at her as she said: "The most important thing right now is how you managed to uncover Li Xi's story."

"Take this." Ying Yue handed a audio recorder to Wu Le Jun, "You have to act as if you don't know anything, and trust her as before. Miss Wu, I will give you two days, so you have to cherish this opportunity to turn the tables on yourself.

Wu Le Jun hesitated for a moment before accepting the audio recorder from Ying Yue's hands.

When they walked out of Wu Le Jun's house, it was already seven in the evening. Lin Chuchu faithfully called to tell the two that she had already prepared food for free and was waiting for them to go over.

"It's a waste?" Little Zhang retorted. Didn't they say that they were going to have a big meal?

It was a hotpot restaurant opened by a Sichuan couple. Although the restaurant was not big and the price was not high, but to Lin Chuchu, it tasted good.

"Ying Yue, you guys are here." When the Lady Boss saw Ying Yue and Little Zhang, she said, "Chuchu has already ordered some food for you guys, it's your favorite pot bottom."

"Thank you, Lady Boss." At this point, Ying Yue took a step forward and asked, "That crazy girl didn't order any beer, right?"

"No..."

"Lady Boss." Just as he was speaking, Lin Chuchu walked out from the inside, "I forgot to order some wine, how about …"

"Aiyo, they're here." Lin Chuchu sloppily frowned, "What are you still standing there for, go in and eat."

"Let's go." Lin Chuchu immediately wrapped her arms around their necks, and then, she said in an especially enchanting manner, "Boss, give me a Erguotou today, hurry up."

Ying Yue and the Lady Boss secretly exchanged glances, this Lin Chuchu was truly enough.

A steaming hot pot and two servings of Erguotou entered their stomachs, and the three of them began their conversation.

"Sister Chuchu, you didn't know that when Wu Leyan found out about this, she exploded, collapsed, lost, could not believe it, and felt wronged. You said that this best friend of hers is really too evil. Little Zhang said as he took a bite of the cooked pig brain.

"What's there to be miserable about? The ancestral mistress who has been cheated by her best friend must be Miss Ying." Saying that, Lin Chuchu touched the cup in front of Ying Yue with her good intentions, "Yue'er, tell me, am I right?"

Ying Yue speechlessly picked up a dish and was about to eat it, but Lin Chuchu slapped her hand onto her skirt.

"Lin Chuchu, are you done yet?" Ying Yue quickly took out a tissue and wiped it off.

"Did I say something wrong? Wu Leyan was only tricked for a few songs at most, but you …"

At this moment, her cell phone rang. Ying Yue took out her phone and saw that it was Gu Lin's number. Thinking back to what happened this morning, Ying Yue took it gratefully.

"Hello, it's me. Is something the matter?"

"I'm back. Are you still working overtime?" Only then did Ying Yue remember that they had just talked on the phone last night. Furthermore, Gu Lin had told her that he would be back this morning, but she had completely forgotten about all of this.

"Oh, I. I'm not at the magazine. " Looking at the hotpot behind her, Ying Yue asked again, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I want to go out for dinner with you tonight. Is that okay?" Gu Lin politely asked for her opinion.

"I …" Ying Yue wanted to agree, but looking at her dirty dress and the smell of the hotpot, she decided against it.

"I've already eaten." Ying Yue immediately blurted out those words. However, she unexpectedly saw the person on the phone outside the window.
