The Guan’s House
Guan Meiyi kept reading the script over and over again. At last, she stopped on the cover page –”Screenplay by TY”.
It was still very hard for Guan Meiyi to believe, TY was actually Ling Tianya!
“How did Ling Tianya become a famous screenwriter, without anyone knowing? What has she been doing all these years overseas?” Asked Ling Qi with a strained tone in her voice. “It can’t be that simple. With that slutty look, who knows how she got the screenwriter title!”
“Mom, screenwriters speak with their work. TY’s work is good.” Said Guan Meiyi.
“Maybe she didn’t write it! You know how it is in the entertainment business. A lot of those so-called big-name screenwriters all had ghostwriters!” Ling Qi sounded very dismissive. She had made up her mind about Ling Tianya. She thought she was just a crooked woman.
After hearing that, Guan Meiyi lowered her eyes. Running her slim fingers back and forth cross the letters “TY” on the cover of the script, a lot was on her mind.
“What’s the point of speculating on this nonsense?” Guan Jianlin asked. He was slouching on the coach with his fat belly out. Brows furrowed, he continued, “I think the most important thing right now is the marriage between Meiyi and Zeyan. They are both grown ups now, plus everybody out there already knows the relationship between the two families. We ought to find a time to talk about their engagement with Ruan Qishan. The sooner the better!”
Ling Qi nodded at her husband, “Yes, definitely! It drove me mad to see all those sluts eyeing Ruan Zeyan at the party today! The sooner we get the deal sealed with the two kids, the better I will feel. By that time, Meiyi will be officially the young Mrs. Ruan. Who cares about some TV show, or being a super star?”
“Mom, acting is my dream. Even when I marry Zeyan, I’ll still keep acting.” Guan Meiyi protested. With that being said, she agreed with her parents that she should get engaged to Ruan Zeyan ASAP. Ever since she was a little girl, she always saw herself as the only woman to be Ruan Zeyan’s wife. The thing she was not so on board with was to become simply a trophy wife.
“What’s the point of acting if you can marry Ruan Zeyan? You know Madam Ruan doesn’t like the fact that you are an actress, that’s why she’s always had a cold shoulder towards you!” Ling Qi said as she patted Guan Meiyi gently on the head. “There’s nothing more important than marrying into the Ruan Family right now. If you really want to be an actress, wait until the old lady passes away. She doesn’t have many years left anyway.”
“You shouldn’t say that, Mom…” said Guan Meiyi. In her heart, she knew her mother was right though. Acting was her dream, but no dream was as important as marrying Ruan Zeyan to her.
The whole Ruan Family loved Guan Meiyi, except for Ruan Zeyan’s grandmother, who liked to use her acting career as an excuse!
It was very late when Ling Tianya made it back to her apartment. Zhang Ke had already gone back to her own place too. Ling Tianya rubbed her head and collapsed onto the sofa. She was exhausted and all she wanted to do was to shower and go to sleep.
Ding-Dong! The doorbell rang. It must be Zhang Ke, she was the only one who knew where Ling Tianya lived.
“Did you forget the code?” Ling Tianya opened the door. Then, her body trembled when she saw who was actually standing outside, “You…”
Ruan Zeyan looked at Ling Tianya, a deep and dangerous glint in his eyes…
She wanted to close the door on him, but Ruan Zeyan saw her intention and busted the door wide open with one powerful push.
His strength knocked Ling Tianya’s body off balance; she stumbled back a few steps. Before she knew it, her soft body was pressed into the hallway wall by this man. The door slammed shut behind him.
“Aren’t you happy to see me?”
