After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 191 Girls Help Girls

A thunderstorm poured down.

The lights in the Zheng family's house flickered today, and the removed lamplight cast a somber shadow over the place.

When Zheng Xin returned home after work, she heard sounds of beatings and shouting coming from her brother's room, along with a woman's screams.

She paused at the top of the stairs, chatting idly with the servant beside her: "Sigh, my brother is crazy too."

"Knowing that the woman was disloyal, knowing that she wasn't her, I still held her in my arms." Zheng Xin gave a bitter smile.

Something suddenly occurred to her.

Gu Xing was charged with attempted intentional injury, but since no major disaster occurred, he will be released from prison soon.

But she had long lost the passion she once had for that man, not because he would fall on hard times, nor because she no longer loved him.

Suddenly, she realized that the woman who lived under the legs of a man was just like the woman in her brother's room.

Whether she likes it or not, whether she's happy or not, you have to cater to her.

In particular, she still remembers the look on her brother's face when she got into trouble back then.

To her brother, what difference was there between her and those other women? She was nothing more than a stepping stone for him to rise to power.

She had fantasized that her brother would forgive her and help her solve her troubles, but in the end, he pushed her out to be convicted and distance himself from her, and then continued to maintain his reputation for kindness.

"I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest."

"Yes, miss..."

Inside the room, Shu Yu covered her face, only to have Zheng Ran grab her by the collar.

"Do you think I'm blind and don't know what you've done?!"

A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of Shu Yu's mouth: "I was wrong... Mr. Zheng..."

"Get your own position straight!" His fingertips turned white, and his movements became increasingly forceful until he almost strangled her to death before finally letting go.

He straightened his collar: "You used my name to go to the variety show production team to secretly modify and edit the video, and then used the opportunity to exchange things?"

He suddenly sneered: "Oh, I see, you hate her, don't you?"

"Ok?"

"If you're going to be a stand-in, you have to be aware of what it means to be a stand-in. You chose this path yourself."

Shu Yu's eyes welled up with tears, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

"You dare touch my people?"

Shu Yu looked up, not expecting him to say such a thing: "She's a substitute too, so why..."

He mocked her as he lifted her chin: "Because you're not as good as her..."

Shu Yu sneered: "No, it's just that because we can't get it, we find it precious."

"Shut up!" He slapped him across the face.

“I don’t care how you deal with her, but if you damage my reputation, you deserve to die.”

She laughed self-deprecatingly and clutched her lower abdomen.

"I was too trusting of you. You said back then that if I followed you, you would definitely treat me well, and that she was just a substitute for someone else. Now, why don't you stop pretending?"

"So it was because of my affair that you lost a business project."

When Shu Yu used his name to alter the variety show recording video, Zheng Ran was discussing business with a Hong Kong businessman.

After Shu Yu's story was exposed, the businessman happened to hear about it and, fearing he would be implicated, quickly canceled the cooperation.

“Shut up, you crazy woman!” He pushed her down, trying to tear her apart.

……

The thunder outside the window startled Su Qi, who was enjoying the warmth of the bathtub.

She suddenly opened her eyes; the phone on the sink was vibrating incessantly.

She reached for her phone and wiped the soap bubbles off her hands.

She didn't notice whose call it was; she only heard the other person hesitate before saying, "You... come to my house."

Su Qi looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone. The familiar voice reminded her of someone: "Zheng Xin?"

"Yeah, come to my house for a bit... my brother's new lover... is about to be beaten to death."

Su Qi paused.

“I don’t want to contact you either,” Zheng Xin said, pursing her lips on the phone. “My brother is colluding with the police. Reporting to the police will not only be useless, but I will also be discovered by him and he will beat me to death.”

Su Qi used her other hand to turn on the shower and rinse off the foam from her body: "I'm not going."

Just a second before the call was about to end, she heard Zheng Xin turn up the volume: "She's pregnant!"

"People will die!"

"I beg you, at least put aside your personal grudges..."

Su Qi's grip on the phone tightened instantly, and she hung up.

Information has been collected for you.

[Zheng Xin's current stats have changed; her corruption value has returned to zero. Please rest assured, Master.]

After the system finished broadcasting, Su Qi finally made up his mind: "I'll reluctantly go."

The rain outside had lessened a bit, and Zheng Xin came out to open the door for her herself.

As soon as Su Qi entered the house, she heard arguing upstairs.

"I can only help her out of this predicament temporarily."

Zheng Xin nodded: "I know, please help her. She's just not thinking straight; she's not deliberately going against you..."

Su Qi frowned and turned to look at Zheng Xin: "Not sober? When she did those things to me, her goal was very clear."

Zheng Xin lowered her head awkwardly: "I used to hate you because my brother said that only by defeating you could I get Gu Xing and become a top female star."

"She must have been brainwashed by her brother too..."

Su Qi pulled off his gloves and walked confidently into the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, no light could be seen in his gloomy eyes.

The elevator doors opened, and Su Qi entered alone. Zheng Xin's throat bobbed slightly: "I won't go over there. My brother... be careful."

After a long pause, the words "Be careful" finally came out of her mouth.

"If you run into trouble, just go near the door and knock three times."

Su Qi didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

As she reached the door of the room, she hoped that Zheng Xin wasn't lying to her.

As expected, Shu Yu sat on the ground, unable to bear the torment.

The door opened, and Zheng Ran turned his head in alarm, his eyes meeting Su Qi's indifferent expression.

"Young Master Zheng, you have quite the methods. Do you need my help to expose your true colors from the outside?" Su Qi slowly raised his eyes.

Zheng Ran quickly stepped forward to explain, "She bullied you, I'll teach her a lesson for you..."

Su Qi curled her lips: "My affairs are none of your business."

"Even if she did something to harm me, I will personally deal with her. Who do you think you are, daring to lecture my people?"

After Su Qi finished speaking, the scene became tense, and even Shu Yu was stunned.

The woman in front of her, whom she considered her rival in love, had actually saved her twice.

This time, Shu Yu didn't understand why, after hurting her so badly, she would retaliate against him, yet she would still come to help him without hesitation.

Before Zheng Ran could react, Su Qi pulled Shu Yu up from the ground and carried her on his back: "Are you pregnant? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup first."

Zheng Ran was shocked: "Pregnant? No... why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

Zheng Ran tried to get physical with her, but Su Qi kicked her to the ground.

After the examination, Shu Yu, clutching her stomach, sat down in the rest area.

Shu Yu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately lowered her gaze.

Su Qi looked up and crossed her arms: "Why bother? You shouldn't have asked him for help when you couldn't be my manager. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Shu Yu shook her head with a self-deprecating smile: "People outside say that Mr. Zheng is kind-hearted and has helped many girls in distress. I thought he would be so kind as to help me, but I didn't expect..."

Shu Yu looked at Su Qi: "You and that woman are so alike."

Su Qi looked alert: "Which woman?"

She suddenly realized that Shu Yu was referring to Zheng Ran's "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for someone who is unattainable).

“I have seen the woman’s portrait in his study more than once. I wonder why he kept the portrait instead of the photograph.”
