“Ranran, stop fooling around.” Su Qingdong did not liked Su Muran’s request.
“Did you think that you could make me kick just about anyone out? Those were merely people with no reputation nor backstage supporters. Don’t you even think about that Yan Huan.”
If the Su family had obtained the airport, he would have definitely accepted Su Muran’s request, even if the Lu family was supporting Yan Huan from behind, he could still try for it.
However, now that the Su family was still the Su family, and the Ye family was also the Ye family, the Su family had remained at a standstill even now, while the Ye family was achieving greater heights. The two families may appear to have the same level of power and influence for now, but it is only a matter of time before the Ye family surpasses the Su family. The biggest regret in Su Qingdong’s life, as well as for several generations of the Su family, was that he did not acquire the Ye family’s airport. Just like a prey escaping the jaws of its predator, he fell short of the opportunity. It would be difficult for the Su family to surpass the Ye Family in the future.
On top of that, there was the Lu family. Did she think that the Lu family, Lu Yi, a prosecutor and Lu Jin would take such an insult lying down?
At this time, Yan Huan and Yan Hua had thoroughly discussed the script, and had roughly gone over Yan Hua’s ideas. They then proceeded to work on their character poster shoot.
As soon as she went in, she was surprised, Yue Ran was there.
It’s you, Yue Ran still had clean long hair. Although his hair was long, he looked like an artist, not a Nancy-boy.
Yue Ran had always been a hygienic person, and one of Yan Huan’s few good friends from her previous life. At a time when she was most foolish, he said something to Yan Huan which she could never forget, even until now.
He told her, you are a perfect work of art, but your conscience has lost its way.
The height of your achievements is where your heart lies. Being an actor, you are not merely an actor, while you may be acting as someone else, you also need to put your heart and soul into the act.
Back then, she had been wearing glamorous clothing as she held Lu Qin’s hand, but Yue Ran said to her, Yan Huan, did you know, you look really ugly like this.
He said, your eyes were the most beautiful aspect about you, they reflect your whole life. But now, these eyes were glazed with dust, you are barely yourself, just what kind of work could you even perform?
At that time, she ignored it, neither did she believe it. However, at the end of the day, when her young life ended with a tragic death, she finally understood Yue Ran’s words.
Yue Ran was actually saying that her eyes were blinded. That she couldn’t see the men around her were just eyeing the diamond of her body, not the pearls in her eyes.
“Long time no see.” Yue Ran opened his cosmetic box as Yan Huan took a seat.
“Yeah, long time no see.” Yan Huan smiled at Yue Ran. Yue Ran was still the same with his slender fingers and clean hair. His pronounced facial features were attractive, inherited from having mixed-blood of Westerners. Perhaps he wasn’t extremely handsome, but he was certainly very tasteful.
“You seem to have grown even more beautiful.” Yue Ran looked at Yan Huan through the mirror. The 20 years-old Yan Huan was just a young and naive Little Golden Silkworm from back then. Now, at 24 years-old Yan Huan had became the Best Leading Actress.
Just like from within the mirror, she was shining brilliantly, her beauty was simply stunning.
“Thank you.” Yan Huan touched her face, which was similar to before, but it truly seemed that she was more beautiful. Her eyebrows were gentle and her skin was well-nourished, her smile gave a sense of comfort. Perhaps this was what Yue Ran had wanted to express.
Women would become beautiful for the ones who love and cherish them, because it was worth it.
As for their perception, it would be defined by their own hearts.
Yue Ran applied makeup onto Yan Huan’s face.
“I like your skin, it’s very fair, it matches the foundation well.” Yue Ran liked actors like Yan Huan who had great skin and beautiful features. It would inspire him more.
Oh, is that the empress?
Yue Ran contemplated in his heart as his fingers continued working.
“Yue Ran!” Yan Huan suddenly shouted Yue Ran’s name.
“Hmm, what’s wrong?” Yue Ran responded. He had already finished extending her eyeliner, making her eyes bigger while enhancing her elegance and charm.
“Want to job-hop?” Yan Huan widened her eyes, beaming at him. 30% of it was said in a joking manner, but the remaining 70% was serious.
“To your place?”
Yue Ran tested a few different shades of blushers on the back of his hand, before he finally selected a suitable color.
“If it’s you, I’d like to, but my expected salary is not low.”
“That’s a deal.” Yan Huan smiled softly. In the mirror, her features were highlighted little by little. The shades that were added later included the hues of another person, they belonged to a Qing Palace empress, lonely but dignified throughout her life.
She sat on the makeup chair with her hands in her lap. Her red dress fluttered slightly, like a peony flower, while her beauty was intensified, from her lips, to her eyes, and her very expression.
The peony was the Queen of flowers.
And Yan Huan was the empress of the Qing Palace.
Su Muran finally returned when Yan Huan was about to leave after finishing her photoshoot for the character posters. Upon seeing Yan Huan, she flashed a smile at her, a rather cold one.
Was that provocation?
Alright, she accepted it. Yan Huan took her bag and prepared to leave. After the photoshoot, they would have to go on set in the film city. The time taken for filming wouldn’t be just a day or two.
As soon as she reached the entrance, a car stopped. It was a white sports car which was publicized, arrogant and uncomfortable at the same time.
“Get in, I’ll send you back.”
Lu Qin pulled open the car door to allow Yan Huan to get on. He used the words “you” and “I”, and did properly addressed her as his “sister-in-law”. He regarded Yan Huan as a woman, as a target, but he never acknowledged her as his own sister-in-law.
Thank you but there’s no need, Yan Huan walked aside. She had no time to accompany a poisonous snake like him to play his pretentious games, neither did she have the time to share her life with a heartless wolf.
Lu Qin was still sitting in his car, simply waiting. His kept his sight on Yan Huan. His unwillingness to resign was really quite a lot.
When Yan Huan took a step forward, his car would also move forward, never trailing by more than a few steps.
Yan Huan frowned. Did Lu Qin wanted the paparazzi to get a good shot, to spoil her reputation, or did he wanted to borrow her fame?
The road ahead seemed to have no end, stretching onwards from a single point, until it finally became another point, vanishing into the horizon. Yan Huan put her hand on the planter box beside her and she felt something.
At last she stopped, her hands hidden behind her back. She just stood like that, as if she was waiting, waiting for the man to reveal his intentions, as well as he himself.
Lu Qin opened the door of his car and came over. He stood smugly before Yan Huan.
“Don’t you want to go together?” He placed one hand in his pocket and stood in a stylish manner. “I could escort you back. If you want, I could also send you anywhere.”
“Even the netherworld?”
