Chapter 106: The Vanished: Perfect Revenge
Chapter 106
Su Momo went to Liu Yaying's hospital room. She saw Liu Yaying sitting up in bed, leaning against her pillow, her face pale and expressionless as she stared out the window.
When she saw Su Momo, Liu Yaying's expression became agitated. She wanted to rush forward and hug Su Momo, but remembering what she had done, she nervously sat back down on the edge of the bed.
Liu Yaying cried out, "Momo, that doll wasn't a curse doll, it was meant to bring you good fortune. The master said it would bless your career with brilliance. The bloody doll that appeared later was someone trying to frame me."
Su Momo didn't say anything. She no longer cared about the truth of those matters.
"I didn't mean to send Bugu away. The doctor said you were allergic to dog hair, but you didn't believe it. I had no choice but to secretly send it away without telling you."
Su Momo removed her large sunglasses. "Yaying, all of that is in the past now."
"Momo, I never meant to be with Liang Guangyu. I only slept with him to get evidence of his cheating for you. But you loved him so much, I was worried that even if you knew he cheated, you still wouldn't break up with him. After all, you had once considered giving up your career for him. So I had no choice but to let you find out that I had slept with him, to make you completely disillusioned with him..."
Liu Yaying was crying messily.
Tears also slowly rolled down from the corners of Su Momo's eyes, but she couldn't feel any sadness.
She thought back to the times she had spent with Liu Yaying, difficult yet full of hope.
None of it could be reclaimed now.
Has anyone ever had a moment when they suddenly saw the true face of the world?
Perhaps from watching too many idealistic TV dramas, people can become rather naive. The old Su Momo had always believed that if you were good to others, they would return that kindness to you. Though there were bad people in the world, she thought good people were still the majority.
So even though she had suffered her father's vicious betrayal, Su Momo still grew up to be a warm and kind person.
Later, she read that suspense script. The female lead in the script also started out pure and kind, but everyone around her used and betrayed her. In the end, she had no choice but to grow up and take up a sharp knife to protect herself.
Su Momo realized that she had been viewing the world through rose-colored glasses before.
She was just like that female lead, and the people surrounding her were all deceiving, using, and betraying her.
The man she loved most was a cheating scumbag, just like her father. Liang Guangyu said he loved her, that his dream was to have a family with her. For this, Su Momo had nearly given up her own career and dreams to marry him. But that man was still in love with many other women.
Her most trusted best friend hated and betrayed her. They had once lived together in the cheapest, dirtiest apartment, helping each other through the darkest moments of their lives. But Liu Yaying had slept with her boyfriend, put a curse on her, and done various underhanded things behind her back to smear her reputation.
Her assistant, whom she thought was kindhearted, was secretly her anti-fan, going to great lengths to collect negative information about her, wanting to destroy her career and even planning to kidnap her.
Her manager, who had struggled alongside her to build her career, had forgotten their original dreams and only wanted to make money now, forcing her to do things she didn't like and take roles she didn't want, binding her with all kinds of cold contracts.
Even the "Star Home" charity she had always donated to was just using charity as a way to make money.
Su Momo found that the beautiful world she saw had collapsed.
She wanted revenge on these bad people!
She designed a perfect plan, deciding to go along with Qi Fang's scheme and let her "kidnap" herself.
First, she had to reasonably fire Liu Yaying. She deliberately instructed Qi Fang to go to Liu Yaying's room to let her see the doll. She knew that if Qi Fang wanted to kidnap her, she would have to get rid of Liu Yaying first. To Su Momo's surprise, Qi Fang created a bloody curse incident.
Su Momo then enriched her plan.
Su Momo deliberately complained to Qi Fang that she didn't want to perform in the show, and Qi Fang immediately said she could help her leave the TV station—Qi Fang was implementing her kidnapping plan.
Su Momo knew that she couldn't just disappear, otherwise the police wouldn't dig deeply into what had happened to her.
That day, she infused her own blood into props, simulating the blood spatter pattern of a wrist-cutting suicide. Then she poured the blood she had extracted in advance onto the floor, and even lay down in the pool of blood herself, simulating the most realistic scene of a wrist-cutting suicide.
Su Momo had seen what her mother looked like when she committed suicide, and that scene was deeply imprinted in her mind. The first time she learned of Liang Guangyu's infidelity, she had cut her own wrist with a knife, but quickly bandaged the wound herself. She would not repeat her mother's fate.
So she knew exactly what a wrist-cutting suicide scene would look like.
Later, she successfully disappeared from that makeup room. She knew it would immediately cause an uproar, and all those who had betrayed and hurt her would face retribution.
Liang Guangyu would be ruined. Su Momo had already arranged for the press releases. The day after she disappeared, those self-media accounts would widely spread evidence of Liang Guangyu's infidelity. With the massive attention from her disappearance, no one would be able to suppress this scandal.
Liu Yaying would be seen as the other woman, cursed and condemned by everyone. She might worsen her depression out of guilt, and being so fragile, she might even commit suicide. Someone like her was a waste of life anyway, so let her die.
Sun Qin would suffer heavy losses.
Qi Fang would go to prison for kidnapping.
Even her beast of a father would face a small punishment. When he learned of her death, that scumbag would surely be overjoyed, thinking he could get a large inheritance. But he would soon learn that he would get nothing. This feeling of disappointment, of thinking he could get something but ending up with nothing, would torment him for the rest of his life.
As for Su Momo herself, she would gain the sympathy of countless netizens. She could shake off many jobs she didn't want to do, and might even land the lead role in that suspense film she had been vying for, all because of this kidnapping experience.
The plan was nearly perfect, with the only unexpected element being Qi Fang's sister, Qi Fen. Her sister was also a crazed fan of that scumbag Liang Guangyu, and she actually kidnapped her for real.
Qi Fen was mentally unstable and nearly killed her several times.
But it wasn't a big problem. Su Momo bribed Qi Fen with Liang Guangyu's limited edition merchandise. Su Momo told her that the kidnapping charge would only mean one or two years in prison. After she got out, Su Momo would give her a large number of Liang Guangyu's personal items, including clothes he had worn and things he had used.
Qi Fen was as brainless as her sister and agreed to follow her arrangements. She also promised not to reveal anything about Su Momo.
She even taught Qi Fen how to face interrogation. She told Qi Fen not to admit to the crime at first, to make up some lies that were easy to see through, and then to confess when the police put pressure on her. This would seem more realistic.
To make the rescue more authentic, she even had Qi Fen tie up Bugu in the abandoned building, so it could lead the police to find her.
The outcome was perfect. The bad people all received their punishment, while Su Momo remained the kind and beautiful person she had always been.
"Momo, that's wonderful, that's wonderful, we're still good friends."
Liu Yaying's voice brought Su Momo back to reality. Su Momo hugged her back, "Yaying, you'll always be my good friend." Her face rested on Liu Yaying's shoulder, wearing a sincere expression.
Click, a camera flash went off outside the window.
Su Momo released Liu Yaying and put on her sunglasses. "Miss Liu, I wish you a speedy recovery."
"Momo, you..."
"Please call me Miss Su from now on."
Liu Yaying looked at Su Momo's cold expression, at a loss. She didn't understand why Su Momo had suddenly become so unfamiliar.
"Liu Yaying, admit it, all these years you've been jealous and resentful of me. You felt I stole your life."
"I..." Liu Yaying couldn't deny it, because she had indeed thought that way. But friendship had overcome those malicious thoughts.
Su Momo handed her a card, "There's 100,000 yuan on this. The password is the last six digits of your ID number. Liu Yaying, you're on your own from now on."
Leaving the hospital room, Little Chen immediately came up to her, "Miss Su, the photos have been taken. I captured the most touching moment."
"Mm, well done." Su Momo glanced at the photo, thinking her acting skills were quite exquisite. "Please call the lawyer for me, I want to modify my will."
The next day, the hashtag #Heartbreaking, Su Momo visits critically ill best friend# once again topped the trending topics.
From that point on, Su Momo's career in the entertainment industry shone brightly, but no one ever called her Momo again.
