Fake heiress tore up the script, acted lazy and dumb, and got eliminated.

Chapter 14: Spider Girl

"Then who are you?"

"I'm obviously not a good person." The man's expression suddenly turned eerie, like he came with built-in suspenseful sound effects. "I'm going to take you away, dissect you, and sell you for a good price, hehe."

Chi Qian: "..."

"Third Uncle, is that fun?"

Chi Fengxiao froze. "How did you know?"

"First, you kind of look like my eldest uncle. Second, your personality doesn't match the calm and steady description Grandpa gave of Second Uncle. And lastly... I heard from Eldest Uncle that you're a background actor."

Chi Qian shook her head. She hadn't expected Third Uncle to be doing so poorly.

Being a background actor must be tough, right?

Movie star Chi Fengxiao, with years in the industry, had never been looked at with such a pitying gaze.

Suddenly, he got the urge to act. "So what if I'm a background actor? It's because I don't rely on my family—I work hard on my own! If you send me 100 yuan for encouragement right now, one day when I make it big, I'll make sure you enjoy the good life."

Chi Qian replied, "Uncle, although you don't have much going for you right now and aren't making much money, with your incredible pie-in-the-sky selling skills, I believe you'll get rich eventually."

"...You're a bit too immune to flattery." Chi Fengxiao scowled. "Now hand over some money or we'll walk the rest of the way tonight."

He didn't have any cash on him.

Chi Qian handed over 101 yuan.

"What's with this extra coin?"

"Pie money."

"..."

Chi Fengxiao filled up the tank at a gas station and they continued on their way.

Chi Qian asked, "Third Uncle, where's Second Uncle?"

"He's busy these days and doesn't have time to look after you, so we made a little... adult exchange of interests," Chi Fengxiao said lazily.

In truth, what her Second Uncle had said was: "I don't have the time to babysit whatever kid Grandpa wants me to take. I'm allergic to brats."

It wasn't until Chi Fengxiao was promised his favorite sports car that he agreed to take the job.

Chi Fengxiao hadn't wanted to accept, but the price was just too good.

Taking care of a kid? As long as she didn't die, it was fine.

Chi Qian could tell her Third Uncle wasn't thrilled to see her, and that picking her up hadn't exactly been voluntary.

But she didn't mind.

After all, she hadn't exactly eaten that metaphorical pie willingly either.

Chi Fengxiao brought her to his temporary place and told her to entertain herself while he went to shower.

Chi Qian looked around the messy room, worried about her future living conditions.

Clothes were thrown everywhere, food was left out, and the hygiene was a total disaster.

Her uncle clearly wasn't the kind of guy who kept a tidy house—he probably kicked over the broom if it got in his way.

Could he really take care of her?

Still, it didn't matter. She was adaptable. She could lie flat and chill anywhere.

Chi Fengxiao came out and didn't see her until he glanced at the guest room.
