Chapter 166

Chapter 166

Yi Tiantian didn’t feel panicked at all in the face of everyone’s suspicion.

Because he had no idea that people were starting to doubt his inner thoughts!

"The shooting for the scumbag's scene has finally begun!"

"I'd like to see what this damn scumbag can possibly shoot that's worth watching!"

Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts rang out, and the staff fell silent, their doubts momentarily put on hold.

Everyone was thinking about who the actors in the next scene would be.

Today’s third scene featured Chun Shan and the male lead.

On the way back to his apartment, the male lead rescued his childhood friend, the female supporting character, from a murderer, and this scene was witnessed by the female lead, who was also on her way home!

This led to a significant rift between the male and female leads.

There were only four main characters in this scene.

First, the male lead, the female lead, and the female supporting character, along with the murderer who had only appeared briefly.

Apart from these four, the staff could think of no others.

And among them, the only person who could be considered the scumbag was that murderer!

Many people didn’t know who the actor playing the murderer was, so they craned their necks to look through the crowd.

The crew members in charge already knew who would play the murderer, and their faces betrayed their disbelief.

Because this was impossible!

The actor playing the murderer couldn’t possibly be the scumbag who had deceived Chun Shan and her mother!

Everyone who knew the actor was sure he wasn’t that kind of person!

Since this actor’s girlfriend was also an extra in the same crew, there was no way he would mess around on set, especially in front of his girlfriend!

Especially since the actor playing the murderer’s girlfriend was also on set.

She too thought this was impossible.

Because ever since they joined the crew, her boyfriend had been with her all the time except during filming, and the two of them were inseparable, like conjoined twins!

How could such a boyfriend possibly cheat, especially with both a mother and her daughter?!

It was ridiculous!

The actor playing the murderer, after hearing Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts, was caught between a rock and a hard place!

Before today’s scene, he had never had any private interactions with Chun Shan and her mother, so how could he have cheated with them?!

He wondered if even jumping into the Yellow River would be enough to clear his name...

Because of this, everyone once again began to question the authenticity of Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts.

He kept revealing things that people didn’t believe and for which there was no evidence, making him look like a fraud!

While everyone was showing expressions of suspicion, over on the other side, both Chun Shan and her mother had already started secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

Actually, what Yi Tiantian was thinking was right. The **scumbag** they both liked was indeed on set today!

And he was involved in this scene!

But they hadn’t expected Yi Tiantian’s thoughts to be so vague, confusing everyone about the real issue!

As a result, everyone was pointing fingers at the wrong guy!

If this continued, no one would discover the real **scumbag**!

At this point, the shooting had already begun, and Chun Shan felt a wave of relief wash over her as she started the filming.

Although Yueyue and Yangyang had believed in Yi Tiantian’s thoughts from the start, they too began to feel a bit confused.

They noticed that the people around them looked skeptical, as if the extra playing the murderer in the upcoming scene wasn’t the **scumbag** at all!

Still, they chose to keep the faith because Yi Tiantian’s thoughts had never been wrong before.

There had to be more to the story!

Unaware that he had already set off a wave of doubt among the crowd, Yi Tiantian was thoroughly enjoying the shoot, occasionally taking out his small notebook to jot down some acting tips that Director Wang mentioned.

There’s no denying that Chun Shan, despite having a difficult mother and going through a rebellious adolescence, had remarkable acting talent.

She was the most talented actress on set. The expression of despair on her face and the hoarse voice she used when screaming after being kidnapped drew everyone into her emotions.

As Chun Shan performed, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Chun Shan made them feel like they were right there in the scene!

Director Wang highly praised Chun Shan’s performance behind the monitor and couldn’t help but give her mother a thumbs up.

Even Yi Tiantian couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as he watched.

"Chun Shan is so beautiful and such a great actress. If she works hard in the entertainment industry for a few years, she could definitely become the next big movie star!"

"It’s just a pity that this young girl has taken the wrong path and is now pregnant with the child of an extra!"

"If she keeps letting her heart rule her head, she won’t become a leading lady in the future—she’ll end up as a stay-at-home mom!"

"There’s nothing wrong with being a mom, but this **scumbag** isn’t worth her trust! He won’t take responsibility for her after marriage and often goes out to party and cheat!"

"In the end, Chun Shan will be left alone to take care of the child, and she’ll develop depression and eventually take her own life..."

Upon reading Chun Shan’s future in the system, Yi Tiantian felt deeply regretful.

Sometimes fate is like that. One wrong step can have a huge impact on the future.

It’s like the butterfly effect—small choices can have huge consequences.

"If Chun Shan can turn back now and focus on honing her acting skills, maybe she can escape that tragic fate!"

As soon as Yi Tiantian’s thoughts fell, everyone also felt deeply sorry for Chun Shan’s future.

Having spent so much time in the crew, many people were veterans of the entertainment industry, so when they saw Chun Shan’s high acting talent, their eyes lit up.

But no one expected that such a talented acting genius would end up on such a path...

No!

They have to find out who this jerk is and can't let Chun Shan, a young girl, ruin her future like this!

While Chun Shan was acting, she seemed to have tuned out all other sounds, so she didn't notice Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

Meanwhile, Chun Shan's mom looked distressed, and cold sweat trickled down her back.

This was because she was reminded of her own past.

"It's a shame that Chun Shan's mom, who has such a talented daughter, doesn't appreciate her and is letting her follow in her footsteps. She doesn't deserve to be called a mother!"

"Because when she was young, she was also as rebellious as Chun Shan, and her outcome was giving birth to Chun Shan and then being abandoned by a man!"

"I really hope that Chun Shan's mom would step up and advise Chun Shan, so she doesn't repeat this tragedy!"

These thoughts clearly hit the mark with Chun Shan's mom.

Her experience was indeed similar.

When Chun Shan's mom was young, she was often praised for being innocent, kind, and cute. At that time, she was the embodiment of a pure flower.

But entering the glamorous world made her lose her way. Chun Shan's mom fell for a minor character who was an extra in the crew.

And the story that followed was just as Yi Tiantian had described.

One wrong move, and her life took a completely different path.

In the end, Chun Shan's mom became someone who today envies her own daughter!

As she watched Chun Shan acting earnestly, a layer of guilt covered Chun Shan's mom's eyes.

She would never let her daughter walk the same path as her.

The bystander crowd was enjoying the story but hadn't forgotten the most important question!

After all the talk, who was the other mystery man—the jerk?

Even if Chun Shan's mom had a change of heart and decided to save her daughter, the jerk was still the other key issue!

The scene was already being shot, but everyone still hadn't figured out who the jerk was.

Yi Tiantian's words were driving them crazy, making them feel like ants were crawling all over them.

Fortunately, Yi Tiantian finally took pity on them and used his thoughts to reveal the jerk's true identity!

Yi Tiantian was indeed right; the jerk was indeed on set shooting this scene.

"I don't know why both Chun Shan and her mom would fall for extras in the crew.

"Chun Shan's mom's choice is somewhat understandable because the extra she liked had quite a bit of screen time, so he could be considered a minor character."

"But the person Chun Shan likes is purely a background character who played a corpse!"

"Although he has some looks, he doesn't seem to have any talent, does he?"

"And as it turns out, this man accomplished nothing and spent all his time outside indulging in vice!"

Finally!

The staff on set were instantly fired up!

Because they now finally knew who the scumbag that ruined Chunshan's life was!

It turned out to be a man playing a corpse in the background.

At this point, everyone had a pretty good idea who it was.

It was a man named Xiao Lu. No one knew his full name, only that as an extra in the crew, he behaved a bit too actively.

He would approach people under different pretexts, and even Liu Liu and Xiao Yemin had been victims of his in the past.

But most people didn’t bother with him. Only Chunshan, who had just turned 18, spoke to him a few times out of kindness.

From that moment on, Xiao Lu started haunting Chunshan and meddling between her and her mother.

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Lu had managed to get involved with both Chunshan and her mother!

This completely shattered everyone’s sense of right and wrong!

At that moment, while Xiao Lu was still pretending to be dead, he heard Yi Tiantian’s words and realized his plan was over.

To everyone’s surprise, Yi Tiantian had exposed Xiao Lu’s true colors!

While lying motionless, he was already plotting how to keep Chunshan and her mother under his control.

Director Wang sighed. Extras were usually picked at random, and he hadn’t even noticed Xiao Lu before.

Director Wang also hadn’t expected that a small extra could cause such a stir in the crew!

After today’s shoot, Director Wang would make sure to fire Xiao Lu.

Yi Tiantian had a few scenes today, none of them too major or minor. After the shoot, it was already evening.

As usual, when Yueyue and Yang Yang were about to have dinner with Yi Tiantian, they walked out and unexpectedly saw a man standing at the corner, acting suspiciously.

This man was definitely Xiao Lu!

Yueyue and Yang Yang could already tell the situation without needing Yi Tiantian's words.

"Xiao Lu is waiting here after work to manipulate Chunshan and her mother into staying with him!"

"My god, this pervert. Because Xiao Lu knew that both the mother and daughter were love-obsessed, he actually wanted to convince both Chunshan and her mother to be his girlfriends!"

"How do you always get away with everything?! Xiao Lu, you’re seriously twisted!"

Yi Tiantian’s jaw almost dropped to the ground because he couldn’t believe there could be such a shameless person in the world!

The staff passing by heard Yi Tiantian's words and felt even more contempt for Xiao Lu.

There really was such a thick-skinned person in the world!

Everyone was hoping that Chunshan and her mother would finally see through the scumbag and break free from his manipulation and control!

Chunshan and her mother walked out from the shooting scene and, sure enough, headed straight towards the corner where Xiao Lu was waiting.

Everyone held their breath, pretending not to care about the situation, but their eyes had already glanced over in Xiao Lu and the mother-daughter duo’s direction a thousand times.

Chun Shan and her mother had now fully understood the scumbag's behavior through Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts, and the two of them had decided that this time they must get rid of him!

But being love-struck meant that even though they had sworn a thousand times to leave him, they still caved every time they saw him, falling into the same trap and forgiving him without setting any boundaries.

Especially when they saw Xiao Lu’s charming eyes, they were instantly captivated all over again.

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged; it's all my fault for not doing things properly."

This scumbag Xiao Lu was undoubtedly a high-level player because he immediately started apologizing to the mother and daughter, bowing and asking for forgiveness.

"My feelings for both of you are genuine, and I don't know how to choose, so I want to take responsibility for both of you."

The scumbag actually delivered these outrageous words in such a heartfelt manner that Yi Tiantian, who was watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but think "666" in his mind.

Yueyue and Yang Yang were even more shocked.

Yueyue shook her head in disbelief.

She thought that if she, a lifelong singleton, had met a scumbag like this, she would have fallen for him just like Chun Shan and her mother, without even realizing it.

This Xiao Lu must be a habitual offender!

Hearing that Chun Shan and her mother had still not responded, Yi Tiantian knew that they must have softened again.

"Hey, do you even remember that you are mother and daughter?"

"This kind of plot can't pass the censorship, it can't be staged!"

"And although this scumbag is saying all these sweet words, in reality, he only finds both of you useful, which is why he's doing this."

"If Chun Shan weren't an acting prodigy, he would have run away faster than anyone else."

Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts rang out just in time, successfully reminding the two love-struck women.

Xiao Lu also heard Yi Tiantian's voice, but he continued to put on a lovesick look, the light in his lovesick eyes shattered.

"I know many people have issues with me, but this is just who I am. I know my feelings for both of you are true! I can live with myself!"

Before Chun Shan and her mother could react, Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts came through again.

"A scumbag's promises are the cheapest things in the world!"

"These are just empty words. If it were anyone else, Xiao Lu could say the same thing to them."

"Love-struck minds must never believe the lies of a scumbag!"

Sure enough, Yi Tiantian’s words snapped Chun Shan and her mother back to reality, pulling them out of the scumbag’s sweet talk once more.

Indeed, when Xiao Lu was just an extra, his most frequent activity was scouting for wealthy individuals in the cast!

So he was used to making such promises!

But because others were more rational, Xiao Lu had never succeeded before!

Now that he finally had Chun Shan and her mother hooked, Xiao Lu was determined to see this through.

So now, he was using all his acting skills, more seriously than when he was filming!

"Say something, please. If you don't, my heart will break into a million pieces..."

Seeing that Chun Shan and her mother remained silent for a long time, Xiao Lu began to worry.

He was genuinely afraid that the gullible minds of this mother-daughter duo might change, letting his opportunity slip away!

Chun Shan's mother took a deep breath, as if she had made a significant decision.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Lu. I admit that I've made many mistakes, and I don’t feel worthy of being called a mother anymore..."

As she said this, Chun Shan's mother's brows furrowed tightly together, looking extremely pained.

Seeing her mother's pain, Chun Shan could truly feel it for the first time. This pain evoked memories from her childhood.

Because a long time ago, when Chun Shan was still a child, she had seen her mother wear the same expression.

At that time, Chun Shan's mother was going through a divorce with Chun Shan's father. Their marriage, which had only lasted three years, ended with mutual slander and shouting.

This left deep emotional scars on young Chun Shan.

And back then, her mother's expression was just as painful.

Her brows were furrowed, and she looked as vulnerable as a newborn.

Without realizing it, Chun Shan had reached out and gently placed her hand on her mother's back.

Feeling her daughter's support, Chun Shan's mother finally seemed to make up her mind, gritting her teeth as she spoke the next words.

"But I cannot continue to make the same mistakes."

Lifting her head to face the manipulative Xiao Lu, although time had etched wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, Chun Shan's mother's eyes were exceptionally pure and clear at that moment.

"So, I have decided to cut all ties with you. Don't have any further contact with me from now on!"

Xiao Lu had not expected that Chun Shan's mother, who had been so gullible for so long, would actually make up her mind to say something like this. It made him see her in a new light.

"Alright, I respect your decision."

Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Xiao Lu put on an act of being magnanimous and considerate.

Xiao Lu relaxed his brows and bowed deeply to Chun Shan's mother.

"Alright, and for the trouble I've caused you, I apologize once again."

Seeing Xiao Lu bow in front of them, both Chun Shan and her mother were stunned.

Didn't Yi Tiantian’s words paint Xiao Lu as a despicable person?

So why did he now seem like someone with good character?

Could it be that Xiao Lu wasn’t as bad as Yi Tiantian had made him out to be?

As they thought this, the gullible minds of the mother and daughter were about to take hold again.

Just in time, Yi Tiantian’s words cut through their doubts, saving them from falling back into their old ways.

"Hehe, this sleazy guy really is on a high level!"

"On the surface, he apologizes and acts like a perfect gentleman toward Chun Shan's mother, but in reality, he's just paving the way for his 'devoted' persona!"

"Xiao Lu is playing this role to win more of Chun Shan’s affection, not lose it."

"And his plan to climb the social ladder by attaching himself to a wealthy person can be considered a success!"

Yi Tiantian's words were like a wake-up call for these two love-blinded women!

Blinded by love, they couldn’t see through his manipulative tactics at all!

But thanks to Yi Tiantian's insight, both Chun Shan and her mother were able to see the key issue clearly.

Because Xiaolu's real goal was to leech off a rich person, he didn’t care which one it was!

"And right now, Xiaolu is feeling pretty smug!"

"Without lifting a finger, just by saying a few words, he got the young and beautiful Chun Shan and dumped her aging mother! He’s over the moon!"

What Yi Tiantian said was indeed what Xiaolu was thinking at that moment.

And at that moment, Xiaolu’s lips started to twitch.

Help!

Yi Tiantian is really messing with people’s plans without a second thought!

If he failed to keep Chun Shan today, he’d be sure to come after Yi Tiantian later.

At this point, both Chun Shan and her mother finally came to their senses, realizing they couldn’t let themselves be deceived by such a scumbag any longer!

After hearing Yi Tiantian's words, Chun Shan's mother immediately spat in front of the lowlife Xiaolu.

"Ptooey! You really think highly of yourself, don’t you! Why don’t you check yourself out in the mirror! Who do you think you deserve?"

Perhaps because the attitude shift was too sudden, Xiaolu was completely unprepared.

Chun Shan's mother's spit landed right on the scumbag's forehead!

The slimy feeling on his forehead made him feel so sick that he almost threw up right there.

He wanted to wipe the saliva off his forehead, but the next second, another spit from Chun Shan hit him.

"You scumbag! You’re just like my deadbeat dad! Both of you should go to hell!"

Chun Shan had grown up with her mother, and her father’s coldness and various abuses had left deep psychological scars on her.

Now, this scumbag had acted as a trigger, bringing back those painful memories.

Chun Shan felt sick to her stomach, realizing she had once shared a bed with someone like him! And that she was carrying his child!

"I’ll have an abortion, and I never want to see you again! Take care of yourself!"

But just saying that wasn’t enough. Chun Shan and her mother both kicked him in the groin.

One kick each, sending Xiaolu crumpling to the ground in painful howls.

The mother and daughter left, walking arm in arm.

As they turned the corner, the bystanders scrambled to get out of sight.

After all, they had all been hiding behind the walls, secretly listening.

But since they were so close, the mother and daughter spotted the bystanders trying to slip away just as they came out.

The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment.

But this time, Pure Shan and her mother weren’t bothered by it, as they had now regained a new lease on life, leaving their past behind for good.

As the crowd watched the mother and daughter’s retreating figures, their hearts were filled with blessings for the two of them.

And Yi Tiantian felt this even more strongly.

"Through this incident, both Pure Shan and her mother managed to completely cure their ‘obsession with love’ and ‘competitive mindset.’ From now on, their lives will only get better!"

"Especially Pure Shan, as a new actress, she will rely on her talent and hard work to win countless international awards in the future! Becoming a well-deserved best actress!"

Yueyue and Yangyang felt a surge of hope after hearing Yi Tiantian’s words.

They were also very happy for Pure Shan’s future achievements.

Since that dramatic moment, Yi Tiantian's image in Yueyue and Yangyang's hearts had grown even taller.

Because his words not only provided the scoop but also helped more people get on the right track!

Take Pure Shan and her mother, for example!

Without Yi Tiantian’s interference, Pure Shan might have ended up hanging herself in the future!

But now, she has ushered in a brand-new future, which brought great relief to everyone.

……

The scumbag Xiao Lu finally stood up, clutching his groin, only to suddenly see a man standing in front of him.

This man was Director Wang.

"Are you Xiao Lu? Go to the finance department to settle your wages. You don’t need to come tomorrow."

After leaving these words, Director Wang, as if nothing had happened, hurriedly left.

Because there was still a shoot tomorrow, he didn’t want to waste time talking to someone who wasn’t worth it.

As Xiao Lu watched Director Wang leave, he couldn’t even muster a word in his defense before collapsing to his knees on the ground.

"Why!"

At that moment, Xiao Lu still had no intention of reflecting on himself. Instead, he knelt on the ground, pounding the surface with his hands.

This was all because of Yi Tiantian!

If Yi Tiantian hadn’t interfered, he wouldn’t have lost both the rich older woman and his job!

Just as he knelt there, a shadow appeared in front of him.

Thinking it was the staff coming to watch his mockery, Xiao Lu looked up and shouted angrily, "What are you all looking at! Get lost! Anyway, I’m not in the crew anymore, so scram!!!"

After shouting, Xiao Lu realized that the people standing in front of him weren’t staff come to watch his mockery, but three individuals.

And these three were people he had never been able to reach before.

Because standing in front of this scumbag Xiao Lu were the male lead Liu Liu, his wife Zu Xiaohua, and the female lead Xiao Yemin of this production.

Xiao Lu had once tried to get closer to Xiao Yemin, but since she never lacked male companions and Xiao Lu’s looks were only average, he had been completely ignored by her.

So later, the scumbag Xiaolu found Chunsan and her mother, and decided to target the two of them.

"Ho, how could it be you... I just..."

When Xiaolu saw clearly who was in front of him, his originally fierce expression immediately turned timid, and even his stiff neck shrank back.

"Alright, no need to explain yourself, we're all in the same boat."

Xiaoye Min crossed her arms, looking down at Xiaolu from above.

"Ah?..."

Xiaolu still knelt on the ground, utterly confused, not understanding what was going on.

"We're all victims of Yi Tiantian."

Liu Liu added.

"So, are you interested in joining forces with us to bring Yi Tiantian down?"

Zu Xiaohua smiled slightly, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.

Xiaolu's expression instantly changed from confusion to excitement; he opened his mouth wide, trembling with agitation.

Who would have thought that Yi Tiantian would suddenly show up and ruin his plans!

Now he's getting what he deserves!

"Alright, I'll join you!"

Without a second thought, Xiao Lu immediately agreed.

Liu Liu, having heard Xiao Lu’s firm response, extended a hand to pull him up from the ground.

"So, what’s the plan?"

Still reeling from the humiliation, Xiao Lu was desperate to know how they planned to get their revenge.

Zu Xiaohua and Xiao Yemin both let out a cold snort but remained silent.

Liu Liu explained, "We’ve got a plan, but we can’t tell you here. Let’s find a private spot to talk."

Realizing they weren’t joking, Xiao Lu nodded eagerly.

All the anger he once felt toward Chun Shan and her mother had now shifted entirely onto Yi Tiantian.

If it means taking down that despicable Yi Tiantian, I’d face anything—hell or high water!

"Alright, let’s find a place to plan this out… I’ll make sure Yi Tiantian wishes she was dead…"

Seeing Xiao Lu’s face twisted with rage, the others knew they had found the perfect pawn.

"Yeah, our plan will make that hateful Yi Tiantian wish she was never born!"

Xiao Yemin said this with a playful smirk, her lips curling into a sly smile, like she was toying with Xiao Lu.

Zu Xiaohua stoked the flames, feigning anger as she added, "After this, Yi Tiantian will be forced out of the Entertainment Industry for good!"

"What?! Can our plan really achieve something like that?!"

This was way beyond what Little Lu had expected. His eyes widened as he asked excitedly.

"You bet..."

Zu Xiaohua grinned.

"Let's keep it down, just in case someone's listening."

Little Lu nodded right away.

"Got it!"

As they talked, the group started walking away. Unbeknownst to them, someone in the corner had already overheard their conversation.
