Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 12

Huang Yue continued to persuade Wen Nian. “Don’t you want to wear beautiful clothes and live in a luxurious house? Have you forgotten what you said about wanting to live a better life? So what if you’re in university? You’ll still have to work when you graduate. And now, the question is whether you should start work early or late. By entering the entertainment industry, you can start earning money earlier than our peers.”

Huang Yue kept nagging at Wen Nian, attempting to persuade Wen Nian. When she saw that Wen Nian was hesitating and not saying anything, she persuaded even more vigorously.

“Huang Yue! Bullsh*t! How dare you encourage your classmates to drop out of school and work? What are you thinking?!”

Li Fang’s voice suddenly sounded from behind Huang Yue. Her anger could be heard from several floors above, scaring Huang Yue so much that she jumped up.

Although Wen Nian was already prepared, she was still frightened by Li Fang’s loud voice.

Li Fang walked up to the two of them and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Turning to Wen Nian, she said, “You better not have any crooked thoughts. It’s not easy to survive in the entertainment industry! If you don’t study well, you might not even be able to understand the script. A good script has high demands on the actor’s writing foundation, character analysis, and understanding. If you want to be a celebrity and an actor, study hard and get into a good university to learn acting.”

“You don’t know anything and you don’t have any experience. You can’t even seize the opportunity!”

Li Fang was still able to suppress her anger as she patiently persuade Wen Nian, but when it came to Huang Yue, she was not so patient. She was so angry that she immediately shouted, “Huang Yue, do you know that you’re ruining someone’s future? And your parents are actually involved! Called your parents to school! How dare they conjure such ill thoughts on my student!”

When Wen Nian heard Li Fang’s words, her eyes turned slightly red. In her previous life, she did not come to settle the withdrawal procedures, but when her parents came to settle it, Teacher Li specially asked them to pass these words to her. She even said that if she thought it through and changed her mind within a month, she could still plead with the principal.

Unfortunately, Wen Nian had long been brainwashed by Huang Yue.She deeply beleved that those who were determined not to let her enter the entertainment industry were all jealous of her beauty and wanted to stop her from making money.

Li Fang’s warnings proved to be true one by one. In Wen Nian’s previous life, she had been in the entertainment industry for only six months when a famous director noticed her looks and thought she resembled the ideal second female lead for his upcoming patriotic movie. However, due to her poor academic record and limited life experience, she struggled to understand the characters’ emotions in the script. Eventually, she had to watch as the role slipped from her grasp.

Later on, Wen Nian became popular not because of her skills, but because negative news about her kept surfacing in the media. In order to get a role, she had to sleep with an investor. Due to her lack of acting skills, she was involved in producing many terrible TV shows. The audience went to watch her movies just to find flaws and criticize her, leaving messages on Weibo and other social media platforms, hoping to get her out of the entertainment industry.

Despite Wen Nian’s efforts to improve her acting skills and earn the approval of a skilled director, her negative reputation still caused the audience to criticize her. Even the director who praised her was accused to have given a different remark because he had slept with her.

When Huang Yue heard that her head teacher was going to call her parents, she was so terrified that her liver trembled. The Huang family had no shortage of children. With her good grades, she had access to the wealthy and powerful students in a key school. Thus, she was doing well in the Huang family’s eyes. If her father found out that she had caused trouble at school, she would be in big trouble.

There were always a few students in each class who would not rest in the afternoon and would stay in the classroom to study. Previously, when Li Fang shouted, the students from the other classes stuck their heads out to take a look. Li Fang realized that this was not a good place to resolve the matter. She coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “Wen Nian, you can go back first. Huang Yue, come with me to the office to wait for your parents.”

Wen Nian agreed obediently and turned to step back into the classroom. Li Fang saw the students in the corridor and said loudly. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Hurry up into the classroom and start reading. I’m on duty in the teacher’s office at noon today. If you have any math problems, look for me.”

After informing them, Li Fang left with Huang Yue.

Seeing that everything was going according to plan, Wen Nian sat back in her seat in a good mood and started doing the practice questions.

Although Shen Jun was eating, he had been practicing martial arts since he was young. He had not only practiced various Western fighting techniques and combat but also inner family boxing, which gave him sharper eyes and ears than other people from a young age. Although Wen Nian and Huang Yue did not speak loudly, the corridor was less than 10 meters away from their seats. The environment was quiet enough for him to hear their voices clearly.

From the corner of his eye, Shen Jun saw Wen Nian sitting down. His lips curled up slightly, as if he realized that going to high school wouldn’t be as boring as he had thought.
