These few WeChat messages quickly triggered a certain memory in the original host's mind.

It turned out that the idea to drug Shen Jingxiu was suggested by someone named Qiao Kexin.

Tracing back along this memory, Wen Yan discovered that various self-destructive actions of the original host over the years were inseparable from Qiao Kexin's 'advice.'

Qiao Kexin wasn't a good friend; she was more like a troublemaker, envious of the original host. Their similar backgrounds as stepdaughters of wealthy families fueled Qiao Kexin's jealousy. She constantly gave harmful advice to the original host, hoping that the Shen family would reject her.

Unfortunately, the original host was naive and lacked friends to warn her. She fell victim to Qiao Kexin's schemes and eventually caused her own downfall.

But now, Wen Yan smirked. She decided not to hold back. She messaged Qiao Kexin.

"No, did you really believe it was a joke? That's my big brother. How could I possibly drug him? Let's not talk about this again; it won't be good for you if my family finds out, understand?"

Wen Yan refrained from cursing Qiao Kexin outright and blocking her because she discovered that Qiao Kexin had borrowed a significant amount of money from the original host during her memory search. Not just money, but Qiao Kexin had also 'borrowed' the original host's bags and jewelry, some of which she hadn't returned. Wen Yan planned to retrieve them when the opportunity arose, hence maintaining this plastic friendship.

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Kexin, who was expecting drama, was surprised by Wen Yan's sudden response.

"Hey, Yan Yan. What's going on? We had everything planned, why the sudden change? Your mom's birthday celebration and your big brother spent the night at home. It won't be easy to get such chances again. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Wen Yan chuckled, "Kexin, I'm serious. Your stepfather's birthday is coming up soon, right? Your step brother will definitely be back for the family reunion. Why not try drugging him? I'm just looking out for you."

"What are you talking about?" There was a pause on the other end, "Yan Yan, why the sudden..."

"Enough said. My mom's here to see me." Wen Yan cut Qiao Kexin off with a pretext and ended the call.

After the call, Qiao Kexin hesitated to contact Wen Yan again, fearing the consequences if the Shen family learned she had incited Wen Yan to drug Shen Jingxiu.

Wen Yan immediately reviewed the chat history and transaction records between the original host and Qiao Kexin, silently keeping track of debts.

Then, Wen Yan's attention was drawn to the column displaying assets in her bank app—she had over nine hundred thousand in her account!

Nearly a million!

The original host was a millionaire! All this money was the allowance given by her adoptive parents. Wen Yan couldn't imagine leaving the Shen family now; even a small amount slipping through their fingers would be a significant sum.

But this thought quickly vanished.

She didn't want to rely on her adoptive parents' wealth; there were still things she wanted to achieve!

Even before transmigrating, Wen Yan loved acting, but financial constraints hindered her. She signed with a talent agency during school, maintaining principles and refusing unethical practices, but a clash with a major investor led to her being shelved.

After five years, she finally terminated the contract but still struggled with low-paying roles. Now, with money, many problems could be solved. No more compromising for a meager living!

Exiting the banking app, Wen Yan immediately searched the entertainment industry in this world.

She wanted to know the big shots in the industry now, the entertainment companies that were reputable, and if there were any casting calls from production teams.

This search lasted all night. But being a 22 years old vibrant girl, Wen Yan still woke up at 7 AM, full of energy.

She even spent half an hour doing stretching yoga in bed.

At eight o'clock, it was breakfast time in the Shen family, a rule they strictly followed.

The Shen family consisted of four sons, one daughter, and one adopted daughter. Although the original host and the true heiress, Shen Zhirou, had their own properties, they mostly lived here after graduating from university.

Each of the four young masters had their own busy careers, rarely returning home. Last night, only the eldest son, Shen Jingxiu, stayed.

When Wen Yan descended the stairs, Shen Yuan, Su Yang, and Shen Jingxiu were already seated at the dining table.

However,  when Wen Yan took her seat, the true heiress, Shen Zhirou, had not appeared.

Years ago, the original host usually occupied the position next to Su Yang, but since Shen Zhirou's return, that spot had become hers.

Today, Shen Zhirou was evidently running late. If it were the original host, she might have taken the seat next to Su Yang.

Wen Yan had no intention of vying for favor. After greeting everyone, she quietly pulled out the chair next to Shen Jingxiu.

Last night, she didn't dare to observe Shen Jingxiu properly due to guilt. Now, at close range, Wen Yan had to admit that he looked really strong.

His looks were undeniable, inheriting the exceptional appearance of Shen Yuan and Su Yang. Shen Jingxiu combined all the advantages of his parents, good physique with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs.

The only flaw was that he was an icy block, impervious to any warmth.

Wen Yan wondered where the original host found the courage to think about drugging him.

Nevertheless, considering he was a nominal older brother, Wen Yan didn't have any inappropriate thoughts about him.

As soon as she sat down, the adoptive father, Shen Yuan, spoke, "Let's start. After eating, Yan Yan, you'll ride with me to the company."

Already? Wen Yan was somewhat surprised.

"But Dad, aren't we waiting for Zhirou?" Su Yang asked.

"No need to wait for her," Su Yang said, "Last night, Zhirou's adoptive mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. She rushed to the hospital overnight and hasn't returned yet."

"Oh, I see. Zhirou must be exhausted."

After Wen Yan finished speaking, she couldn't help but marvel in her mind.

[Miss Su speaks so gently; she truly is a good mother. But if I change my mind later and say I don't want to go to the company, would she think I'm being too dramatic? After all, it was me personally who insisted on joining the company before.]

Seeing that Shen Yuan had already started eating and Shen Jingxiu silently sipping his porridge, Wen Yan dared not speak.

The aura emitted by the father and son was too cold, like two air conditioners.

Wen Yan decided to wait until they finished eating.

She lowered her head to drink milk, completely unaware that Su Yang, sitting diagonally across her, wore a look of disbelief.

Because Su Yang heard Wen Yan's voice again.

But she clearly saw that Wen Yan's mouth hadn't moved at all.
