Bai Yun was about to swallow another pastry when Chu Jiang grabbed her wrist. She was stunned to see him put the pastry into his mouth and chew slowly. “Why did you snatch someone else’s pastry? There are still so many slices in the food box!”

“Don’t be greedy. You can’t eat too much now.” He swallowed the pastry before he added slowly. The light from the car window staggered the light and shadows in the car, making him look gentler.

Bai Yun slowly nodded. She felt that Chu Jiang was simply the most wonderful person in this book. Perhaps she had really done right in blocking that meeting.

By the time the car stopped steadily by the side of the road, only half of the pastries were left. Chu Jiang handed the food box to her. “Bai Yun, the next time we meet, it will be a meeting between a junior and a senior.”

Bai Yun was not stupid. She knew that their marriage needed to be kept a secret. She nodded and opened the car door to get out. “I understand. Thank you for helping me today and for not letting me leave with nothing.”

Chu Jiang smiled. “What I gave you is pretty close to nothing to me.”

Bai Yun: ‘… Fine, you’re noble and virtuous.’

Perhaps because it was very amusing to tease Bai Yun, he enjoyed it very much. In the end, he added, “Bai Yun, don’t trust Ge Fei too much.”

Ge Fei. The original Bai Yun’s self-proclaimed best friend, who was also the person who arranged the clubhouse meeting last night.

Using Yuan Cong’s name to trick the original Bai Yun into the clubhouse and send her to Director Yuan’s bed, it was merely done as a favor to Director Yuan so that he could befriend him. It turned out that everyone knew that only the original Bai Yun believed this so-called good friend like a fool.

Bai Yun smiled and waved her hand. “I understand. I won’t say ‘See you again’, Mr. Chu.” In any case, she didn’t really want to see him again. “Bye, Mr. Chu.”

Chu Jiang watched the thin figure walk into the neighborhood before letting his assistant drive away.

He closed his eyes in the backseat and thought about Bai Yun’s carefree farewell. After yesterday’s farce, Bai Yun seemed to have become a different person. Her eyes were no longer gloomy and resentful, and had now become very bright. When she smiled, those eyes really sparkled like the stars he had seen in the past.

It was a shame. He was just beginning to take a little interest in his recently divorced partner.

As Bai Yun stepped into the residential area, she realized that it was in a good location, and the security was also excellent. The apartment certainly didn’t look cheap. She sighed again at Chu Jiang’s generosity.

This cuckold was really generous!

Looking at the address on the divorce papers, she searched one building at a time. Though there was some distance between the entrance and the estate, it was quiet. Given her status as an actress, this was an ideal location to live.

She opened the door. The living room was clean, but it was so clean that it didn’t look like it had ever been inhabited. There was no sign of life at all. It seemed that the original Bai Yun didn’t really love life.

Before transmigrating, Bai Yun loved life. Therefore, even though she was filming outside all year round, her house would still be stocked with a lot of groceries and decorated with many things.

As Bai Yun sized up the simple house, her attention landed on the photo frame on the coffee table in the living room. She picked it up and saw that it was Bai Yun. Other than the same name, even her appearance was identical.

She started wondering if the author of this book was her anti-fan.

However, the only difference was that the original Bai Yun did not have a mole at the corner of her eye, but the other Bai Yun did. When she was acting in the past, that mole was always praised by her fans, who said that the mole looked perfect right there.

Seeing this photo, Bai Yun finally felt like she had transmigrated.

She had transmigrated when she was at her most glorious and happiest. She wondered if she had passed away in her original world. If that were the case, what were her grandparents to do? They would have lost their children in their early years and their grandchildren in their later years. She really hoped that they would know that Bai Yun was still alive and well in another world.

Bai Yun gave herself some time to adjust her emotions. She was always like this, habitually sorting out her emotions.

No matter what, she had to work hard to survive. That way, she wouldn’t waste any opportunity or hope.

She sat for a moment, hugging the frame, until she caught a whiff of herself. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol was pungent, as was the damp smell from being smothered in a hospital bed.

It was completely intolerable!

Recalling Chu Jiang, whom she had sat in the back row with, she was rendered speechless.

Ah, she remembered that Chu Jiang was a clean freak. There was no way he could tolerate this.

However, Chu Jiang had not shown any discomfort throughout. Bai Yun bit her lip and rubbed her head regretfully. Why hadn’t she remembered to manage her image?

Bai Yun wailed for a long time before getting up to charge the original Bai Yun’s phone. Then, she went to take a shower. When she walked into the bathroom, she glanced at the mirror. There was also a mole at the corner of her eye, just like the mole in her real life, but that mole was not in the original Bai Yun’s photo.
