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

Chapter 33: No Money, Only Life

As the words fell, a group of bodyguards in black got off the cars.

Ling Qian put his hands in his pockets, lifted his chin, and said, "Thanks for your hard work..."

The bodyguards walked straight past them and headed directly to Chi Qian's side.

Ling Qian and Gu Hua both froze on the spot.

What was going on?

"Miss, Chairman Chi doesn't feel secure about your safety, so he sent us to pick you up and take you home," the bodyguard respectfully told Chi Qian.

Chi Fengxiao pointed at himself, "What about me?"

"Chairman Chi said Third Young Master, you have legs, you can walk back by yourself."

Chi Fengxiao: ???

Walk back ten-plus kilometers on foot?

Is he his real dad?

Chi Fengxiao turned to Chi Qian, "Qianbao, you're not going to abandon your uncle, right?"

Chi Qian shook her head, "Uncle, look how well Grandpa treats you. He clearly could have ignored you, but he still found an excuse."

Chi Fengxiao: "..." What a blessing! Do you want it or not?

Joking aside, Chi Fengxiao eventually got into the car.

The convoy drove off with great fanfare.

Ling Qian's handsome face was pale and flushed — he had never been so self-deluded in his life.

"Impossible," Gu Hua murmured, "Grandpa wouldn't treat her so well, especially sending people to pick her up..."

She hadn't gotten such treatment during all those years at the Chi family!

Why should Chi Qian?

Gu Hua recalled something and immediately asked the system in her mind: "How many fans do I have now? It should be at least ten million like in the original story, right?"

System: "Still just over two million, and half are bought by your agent."

"What? Why is it so low?"

System: "Chi Corporation's official Weibo revealed Chi Qian's identity, and her performance on the livestream made her popularity skyrocket. Even Chi Fengxiao was just her supporting role, let alone you."

Gu Hua gritted her teeth, "Are you mocking me?!"

System: "I'm just stating facts. But don't worry, the more successful Chi Qian is now, the more miserable she will be later. The novel can only have one female lead."

Gu Hua felt much more reassured.

No matter how high Chi Qian jumped, it couldn't change the fact that she was a supporting character.

In another car,

Chi Fengxiao had the bodyguards change course and not head to the estate, but back to his place.

Joking aside, if Chi Qian went back to the old man's place now, maybe she'd never pay attention to him again?

While Grandpa was still on a business trip, he needed to let her know that as her uncle, he was better than Grandpa.

"Chi Qian, how did you know Qin Yue has kidney deficiency?" Chi Fengxiao asked casually, "And with such detail."

Chi Qian yawned, hands in her pockets, leaning on the seat. "Uncle, do you know the Pythagorean theorem?"
