The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 329: Unspoken Truths
CHAPTER 329: UNSPOKEN TRUTHS
Some people were envious and would ask for gossip about Lin Ning, subtly asking how she got his help and if she made any deals, hinting that they could do the same. Others hoped that Wen Nuan could help them out. A performing arts class was also a battlefield of emotions. Everyone had a different agenda when they interacted with her, and it was always with a purpose.
After all, she was the only celebrity in their class who had some fame, and she had signed with Anning International. Many people were jealous.
Wen Nuan would just smile faintly. She had seen people kissing up and kicking down on set, and she had seen enough in her half a year in the entertainment industry. She didn’t care about these things and always kept a distance from them, not being distant, but not being overly friendly either.
Because of this, many of her female classmates thought she was arrogant and difficult to get along with. They thought she was acting stuck up and ignoring people because she was famous. She didn’t have any good friends in her class, only a few people she could talk to.
Wen Nuan listened to Cheng Yu’s class very seriously. The people in the class all knew that Cheng Yu had a soft spot for her and that she was her only protégée.
After class, Cheng Yu asked Wen Nuan to stay behind to talk about the Golden Chapter Awards. Wen Nuan went up to her with a smile. "Teacher, you’re on the judging panel, right? Can you help me out a little? Hehe..."
She was used to talking to Cheng Yu like this, and there were no boundaries between them.
Cheng Yu smiled and tapped her with a book. "You don’t know about the behind-the-scenes stuff at the Golden Chapter Awards?"
"What behind-the-scenes stuff?" Wen Nuan asked, a little confused. Cheng Yu looked at her, and Wen Nuan became even more confused and at a loss for words. Cheng Yu rarely looked at her like that. "Teacher, is there something you want to ask me?"
"What’s your relationship with Anning’s CEO, Mr. Ye?" Cheng Yu asked directly. The other students had already left the classroom. It was the last class of the day, and there was no one else around. Cheng Yu’s voice was soft and gentle, but in the evening sun, it made Wen Nuan feel a little cold.
Wen Nuan was a smart girl. When Cheng Yu mentioned the behind-the-scenes stuff, Wen Nuan guessed that she would win an award at the Golden Chapter Awards. Cheng Yu was the head judge, so people from the film association must have told her how to vote and how to guide the awards.
If she was the one who was going to win an award, her teacher would definitely be curious about who was backing her. Cheng Yu had a lot of connections and a certain level of prestige in the industry. It wouldn’t be difficult for her to find out about this.
Many people speculated that Lin Ning had taken advantage of Wen Nuan to make her famous. The internet was full of rumors that Wen Nuan had slept her way to the top. People talked about Lin Ning, but no one said anything about Second Young Master Ye and Wen Nuan’s relationship. It wasn’t that they hadn’t been photographed together before, but Second Young Master Ye had suppressed the photos and silenced the people. This industry was like that. The rumors that were spread were not the real stories. The real scandals and secrets were all suppressed.
Cheng Yu was Wen Nuan’s mentor, and she didn’t want Cheng Yu to think that she was the kind of woman who was dishonest and slept her way to the top like other female artists just to become famous. She didn’t mind if others said that about her, but she didn’t want Cheng Yu to think that way.
Without Cheng Yu, she wouldn’t be where she was today.
Wen Nuan took out a necklace from her shirt. Besides the pendant, there was a ring on it. She was a little flushed but also happy. She held up her wedding ring. "Teacher, this is my wedding ring. Feimo and I are married."
Even Cheng Yu was surprised and looked at Wen Nuan in shock.
*Married?*
*Wen Nuan and Ye Feimo?*
"Oh my god, how can such big news not have been leaked at all?" Cheng Yu was both surprised and happy. She was surprised that Wen Nuan had become the woman of Anning International. She was happy because looking at the smile on Wen Nuan’s face, she seemed to be living a very happy life. Recently, there had been no new rumors about Second Young Master Ye. All the gossip was old news, so it seemed that the young couple was doing very well.
"We got married abroad. I’m still young, and I want to work hard for a few more years. I’m also a little emotional and don’t want people to know my identity and say that I have connections, even though I do. I just don’t want people to know, so you have to keep it a secret, Teacher," Wen Nuan said, winking mischievously. Cheng Yu laughed and felt relieved.
When she first heard the news from the film association, she did think that Wen Nuan might have also made some kind of deal with Second Young Master Ye. After all, she was an artist from Anning. Who would have known that they were married?
Since they were married, it made sense that Second Young Master Ye would want to promote his own wife.
"No wonder..."
Wen Nuan’s eyes lit up. She hugged Cheng Yu affectionately and smiled a little flatteringly. "Teacher, what award am I going to get? Hehe, tell me the secret. Besides the Newcomer Award, is there anything else? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have looked at me like that."
She wouldn’t be surprised to get the Newcomer Award. The way she was looking at her must have been because she was going to get an award that she would have had a hard time getting on her own. Was it Best Actress or Most Popular Actress?
"Why don’t you ask your husband?" Cheng Yu said with a smile. Wen Nuan’s mind worked so fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already thought so far ahead, which was a surprise to her.
"I didn’t get the Newcomer Award at the Film Critics’ Award, and Feimo said that if I don’t get the Newcomer Award at the Golden Chapter Awards, he would..." The word "castrate himself" almost slipped out of her mouth, and Wen Nuan stopped herself. She laughed awkwardly twice. "What he meant was that I would definitely get the Newcomer Award. I always thought that was the only one I would get, so I didn’t ask him."
"He didn’t say anything?"
"No," Wen Nuan shrugged. Ye Feimo rarely talked to her about the entertainment industry. Sometimes, she would ask him out of curiosity, and he would tell her. He rarely brought up old stories, but he knew all about them. He also knew all the gossip, and it was usually very reliable. But if she didn’t ask, he wouldn’t say anything.
"Then just wait until the day after tomorrow," Cheng Yu said, packing up her teaching materials. Wen Nuan shook her arm and begged her to tell her, but Cheng Yu wouldn’t say a word. "There are only a few awards a female artist can win. There are a few that you are in the running for. Just guess. If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise."
"Teacher, can you bear to see me suffer for two days?"
"Then ask your husband."
"My husband will definitely not tell me. He’s even tighter-lipped than you," Wen Nuan thought. Something felt off. How did the word "husband" come out of her mouth so smoothly? Cheng Yu smiled as she looked at her. "I never thought you would be married at twenty."
"I was going to be his wife eventually anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I get married early or late. I might as well get married early," Wen Nuan said with a smile, her eyes full of happiness. Her phone rang. Wen Nuan mumbled and quickly picked up her books from the table. She answered the phone and said, "He’s probably getting impatient. Teacher, I’m leaving. I’ll see you in two days."
