Chapter 3481: Diva, Diva (38)
Qiao Ling’er watched the television in the prison cafeteria. It was broadcasting a commercial Ning Shu had filmed. Ning Shu looked beautiful, elegant, and confident.
Qiao Ling’er could not even remember what Mu Shuyao used to be like. She only remembered her as Yue Wenlun’s girlfriend, someone with almost no presence.
Her strongest impression was that in her previous life, Mu Shuyao had married Yue Wenlun and became a winner in life by relying on him. Back then, she had truly envied and hated Mu Shuyao.
Ever since her rebirth, everything had progressed smoothly. She had stolen Mu Shuyao’s boyfriend and her roles. She was right on the verge of success, but the sudden exposure of her plagiarism had instantly caused her advantage to crumble.
Mu Shuyao’s current life should have been her life. She should be the one standing under the spotlight, surrounded by fans wherever she went, the ultimate winner.
Qiao Ling’er felt as if ants were gnawing at her heart. She had tasted this kind of jealousy before. Some people were just born for success, while she could never succeed no matter how hard she tried. Heaven was so cruel. Why did things have to be this way?
Qiao Ling’er stared at the television longingly. The other female inmates mocked her, saying she was still daydreaming and thinking she was a celebrity.
Ning Shu originally wanted to go see Qiao Ling’er, but after thinking it over, she decided against it. She was a public figure now, so what would it look like for her to visit someone in prison?
Besides, she should not do something like gloating. She could not let anyone realize she was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Since Qiao Ling’er wanted someone to hate, she could go ahead and hate Yue Wenlun.
Ning Shu was surprised by Qiao Ling’er’s indomitable, cockroach-like spirit. If that tenacity had been used on the right path, how could she have failed to succeed?
Women could also possess schemes, ambition, and methods.
By enduring, one could always be reborn from the ashes. However, the same rule applied: do not trample on innocent people. Perhaps the person being trampled upon would give everything they had to overturn their fate.
Ning Shu bought her own house, and the company approved her move out of the shared apartment. Since she was now a star who earned money for the company, some requests were not really considered demands at all.
Without a man like Yue Wenlun to disgust her, Ning Shu ate well and slept well every day, and her daily work was incredibly pleasant.
When she was free, she stayed at home to scroll through gossip, read books, and cook delicious food. She managed her fans when she needed to, acted when she needed to, and filmed commercials when she needed to.
She had no energy to spare for things like manufacturing scandals.
Ning Shu had already reduced her commercial shoots and public appearances. She wanted to cultivate her character and train herself to be a good actress by honing her skills. It was impossible to ride the wave of scandals forever. By being safe and down-to-earth, she would not always be pushed to the heart of the struggle.
By not over-consuming her own popularity and letting things flow steadily, she might even become an artist by the time she was old. Once she had enough money, it was not a bad idea to start pursuing spiritual fulfillment.
Of course, this was Ning Shu’s plan. How to live once the entrustor returned would be up to the entrustor herself.
“Task complete. Do you wish to leave the task world?” 2333’s voice echoed in Ning Shu’s mind.
“Weren’t you sleeping? How did you wake up so fast?” Ning Shu asked curiously.
He had said he was playing dead earlier, but now he had suddenly popped up.
“I am awake.”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu reviewed her experiences and the tasks of this world. She felt she had not missed anything. Neither Yue Wenlun nor Qiao Ling’er had ended up well, and the current situation was much better than before. As long as Mu Shuyao did not court death, this excellent situation could be maintained.
“Let’s go back. Wait, there is still soup in my pot. Let me finish the soup first.” Ning Shu thought of the soup she had been simmering for hours and was reluctant to leave just like that.
Ning Shu went to the kitchen, ladled out a bowl of soup, and drank it in small sips. The taste was truly wonderful.
After finishing the soup, she washed the dishes, checked that the gas was turned off, and then said to 2333, “We can go now.”
Ning Shu’s head spun as she returned to the system space. She rubbed her brow, feeling a tugging pain in her soul. She always felt that 2333 was particularly rough when pulling her back, whereas he had been much gentler when she first started the tasks.
2333 was just being 2333!
“Be gentler next time, do not always do this.” Ning Shu took a deep breath. A scent of agarwood drifted through the system space. Upon smelling it, the tearing pain in her soul felt a bit better.
Ning Shu took out the agarwood jar, placed some in the incense burner, lit it, and closed the lid. Wisps of smoke rose from the burner with a charming fragrance, and the discomfort in her soul was relieved significantly.
Ning Shu opened her attribute panel to see her gains from this trip.

When Ning Shu saw her expended merit and faith points, she almost fell off the sofa. Good grief, had she really squandered that much merit and faith points?
She felt like she had suddenly become rich and had been splurging wildly, unknowingly spending much more than before.
Damn it. Ning Shu let out a world-shaking laugh.
2333: …
However, the soul power harvest this time was unexpected. She was actually given 80% of the soul power.
In other words, of the soul power sacrificed by the entrustor, she took 80% for herself, while 2333 took 10% and the higher-ups took 10%.
This was the only thing worth being happy about.
