AMRWFA -Chapter 148 The Counterattack of an Eighteenth-Tier Actress

Jian Lichang liked and replied at the same time:

[Not a sugar daddy! Do you want resources that have already been blacklisted?]

[Young and ignorant, vain, thought a “uncle romance” was sweet. Got a wake-up call from my godmother @Ruan Yaoyao. Don’t learn from me, girls—older men are too scheming. We’re no match for them.]

[I’m eighteen. It was a contractual relationship. We’ve broken up.]

[The uncle is actually a good person. He helped me resolve a cyberbullying incident from my middle school days. I dated him to “repay a favor.” Thanks to my godmother @Ruan Yaoyao for waking me up—repaying kindness doesn’t mean offering yourself. I’ve decided to focus on my career and repay him by supporting him in his old age.]

……

Fans: [Pfft… support him in his old age?! Hahahaha…]

[Miss, you’re amazing! Turning your ex into “retirement support”—what a talent.]

[Wait, did you get blacklisted? Are you quitting the industry?]

……

Jian Lichang: [Don’t worry! I’ve got my godmother @Ruan Yaoyao.]

Ruan Yaoyao: [Don’t worry! I’ve got my goddaughter @Jian Lichang covered!]

Fans: [Ahhhh… godmother @Ruan Yaoyao, I’m your long-lost goddaughter!]

[Godmother @Ruan Yaoyao, I’m your long-lost goddaughter!]

[Godmother @Ruan Yaoyao, I’m your long-lost goddaughter!]

[Godmother @Ruan Yaoyao, I’m your long-lost goddaughter!]

[Me too.]

……

Originally, Jian Lichang didn’t have many followers, but after this wave, she gained a new batch of fans.

[Wow! This girl is interesting—so bold!]

[So honest!]

[Who doesn’t make mistakes when they’re young? As long as you realize it, it’s fine.]

[Even if being kept isn’t great… you’re still young, you’ve got a whole future ahead. Stay strong! Supporting you!]

[From passerby to fan.]

[From passerby to fan.]

……

As for those who unfollowed, Jian Lichang didn’t mind. She wasn’t a big star to begin with and didn’t have many fans anyway.

If they followed her just for her looks, it was only natural they’d leave.

With her godmother backing her, even if she never became famous, she could still support herself. It was just a pity—having such a “stain” on her record, becoming popular in the future would probably be difficult.

On the other side, Lu Yuanqing smashed a cup in anger when he saw the news.

“Damn it!”

“Ruan Yaoyao—it must be that woman instigating all this!”

“Bitch!”

“Does she have to go against me?!”

……

The secretary, who had been about to enter, quietly closed the door again.

Sob… President Lu is furious. Too scary! Better not walk in and become cannon fodder.

Honestly, he didn’t quite understand his boss either. If you want to pursue a young girl, then just do it properly—why resort to all these schemes?

Now she’s run off to cling to someone else’s backing, hasn’t she?

She’s not stupid. If something feels wrong, of course she’ll use those long legs of hers to run. If it weren’t for this salary, I’d have run off long ago.

Ruan Yaoyao had expected Lu Yuanqing might try to “take revenge,” but she didn’t expect it to be this hardcore.

Looking at the labels appearing above people in the crowd, she felt like she had unlocked some strange new ability—she could now see tags on minor characters?

【Kidnapper A!】

【Kidnapper B!】

【The kidnappers’ van!】

【The kidnappers’ escape route…】

Not only were there labels, but even arrows indicating escape routes—just like the bright red guidance arrows in a video game interface.

The tags above the kidnappers’ heads were also glaring red.

Ruan Yaoyao’s first reaction was to look at Yu Xiangqiao and her granddaughter Xiao Lingxuan, thinking she must not have checked the almanac properly before going out today—and had even brought them along.

Yu Xiangqiao: “……”

No, Mom, you did check the almanac.

If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have brought me out.

Pretending to play with her phone, she quietly sent messages in the group chat, tagging the necessary people and telling them to keep a close watch. At least two “kidnappers” had appeared nearby, along with a van—they were targeting her mother, Ruan Yaoyao.

Lin Zhihe and her comrades immediately became alert, scanning the crowd while keeping an eye on their phones for more clues.

【Should I trick Xiangqiao into taking Lingxuan somewhere safe?】

【If they kidnap me, fine—but dragging those two along would be too dangerous. Alone, I can still run. With them, I won’t be able to run at all.】

Especially her precious granddaughter—chubby and well-fed. Carrying her for a while was fine, but running with her? No way she’d have the stamina.

Yu Xiangqiao twitched her lips: Mom, there are so many people here. You only spotted two kidnappers—they won’t just grab you in broad daylight. They’ll wait until it’s less crowded.

Why should Lingxuan and I leave? If we stay, I can help pass along information. If I leave, who’s going to relay your thoughts?

Not leaving! Absolutely not!

“Xiangqiao, I think Lingxuan might’ve pooped. Take her to the nursing room and change her.”

“No, I just changed her diaper.”

“She definitely did—I smell it.”

Yu Xiangqiao wasn’t so easily fooled. She leaned in and sniffed her daughter’s bottom, then said firmly, “Mom, it doesn’t smell. She definitely didn’t. If you don’t believe me, check yourself—there’s nothing.”

【Misstep!】

【That didn’t work. Need another plan.】

Ruan Yaoyao shifted her gaze to a nearby mother-and-baby store. “Look, there’s a baby store over there. Take Lingxuan and browse—maybe there’s something you need to buy.”

“Mom, we’ve been shopping for hours. Our legs are sore, and we haven’t even finished this milk tea. Let’s rest a bit.”

“I suddenly don’t want milk tea anymore. Take Lingxuan and get me something else.”

“It’s fine, I’ll just order on my phone and have it delivered.”

“You’re that lazy? Can’t you walk a bit?” Ruan Yaoyao was getting annoyed. Why was this daughter-in-law so hard to “command”?

【Can’t she be a bit more diligent?]

【She’s usually so easy to call—why isn’t she cooperating today?]

【Doesn’t she know there are kidnappers outside?]

I know, that’s exactly why I’m not leaving! Yu Xiangqiao pretended not to hear.

“You—didn’t you hear me?”

Just then, Yu Xiangqiao’s phone buzzed. Someone had sent her a few suspects, asking her to “test” her mother and identify which one it was so they could deal with them in advance.

Impressive! Found suspects this quickly?

Following the hints, she located the targets and casually pointed at someone to distract her mother. “Mom, look over there—that woman is quite pretty!”

“Where?” At the mention of beauty, Ruan Yaoyao turned her head.

【Pretty where?】

【Not even half as pretty as Jian Lichang!】

“Where’s the beauty? Are you blind?”

“No, I think she’s pretty! Look there—there’s another one, that one’s pretty too.”

“She’s okay. Slightly better than the last one.”

“Then… what about that one?”

“Which one?”

……

The two kidnappers watching nearby tensed up.

Have we been discovered?

But when they realized the two women were just pointing at pretty girls, they relaxed and continued observing.

One of them even cursed under his breath, complaining how hard it was to kidnap rich people. Not only did they bring bodyguards everywhere, but they also loved crowded places.

He even wondered if they had guilty consciences, which was why they always had bodyguards around.

How were they supposed to kidnap anyone like this?

They couldn’t just rush in and grab her, right?

If nothing else worked, they’d have to disguise themselves as women and wait in the restroom.

If the rich lady went in later, they’d grab her, stuff her into a trash bin.

Even if the bodyguards were guarding the entrance, they probably wouldn’t check a janitor’s trash bin, right?
