Ye Jianguo lifted his head and straightened his back. Indeed, his daughter received compliments from everyone around her. Back then, being the only girl among the few families had made their Rongrong the apple of everyone’s eyes. She was just like Xunxun from the Lu family now, showered with unconditional love and affection.
“But, just look at her!” Old Master Lu pointed to the door and asked, “Which part of her looks like Rongrong?”
Ye Jianguo’s back stiffened again as he replied, “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing.” Old Master Lu frowned and added, “I feel that you should dig further into this. Who knows there might be some mistakes.”
“DNA never lies.” Ye Jianguo had never suspected Sun Yuhan’s identity before. She was his granddaughter, his true granddaughter.
“And…” Before he could finish his sentences…
“Enough of your nonsense, Lu Yuanyang. I’m here to look for Yi Ling from the Lei family. What are you doing here instead of her?”
“Alright, alright.” Old Master Lu waved his hand and rose to his feet, saying, “If you’re here to ask about the script, your granddaughter has already made it clear that she doesn’t want to take up the role. So, what’s the problem of hiring someone else?”
“Hiring someone else? Who is it?” Ye Jianguo was skeptical that someone dared to go against him, forcing his granddaughter out of the lead actress role. Whoever snatched her role actually had the guts to do so. Furthermore, his granddaughter did not mean to turn down the offer at all. It was merely an empty threat and only a fool would take it seriously. That Yi Ling must be doing this deliberately! Just because she has the Lei family to back her up, she thinks she can bully my granddaughter.
“Who is it?” Old Master Lu simply glanced at Ye Jianguo.
“Obviously, it’s my granddaughter-in-law. Everyone knows that she owns the company, even the script is hers as well. Don’t tell me that you’re expecting her to inform you that she’s the lead actress? No offense, but who do you think you are?”
“Ye Jianguo!” He shouted Ye Jianguo’s name in a serious tone.
“Even if you want to bite the hand that feeds you, remember the one who helped your Ye family and prevented the end of your family line. You should’ve known better. And of course…” He patted his chest, declaring, “One should live with a conscience.”
“Let’s go,” he spoke to his bodyguard as he turned around. The bodyguard quickened his pace and followed him. He had to admit that his boss was too harsh, driving Chief Ye completely mad with merely a few words.
The Ye family members are important figures too.
Alas, thanks to that one and only granddaughter. Now, everything’s ruined.
Right! Something crossed his mind all of a sudden. Taking another step forward, he asked Old Master Lu in a low voice.
“Boss, if Miss Yan were to shoot the movie, she will have to be away for a few months. If that’s the case, how about the kids at home? It’s not likely that she can bring them along with her. The kids are way too young to be fully weaned. So what is Miss Yan going to do? Filming or breastfeeding?”
“Just go ahead if she wants to film. Nobody can hold her back.” Old Master Lu snorted, but his eyes were glowing at the same time. Regardless of how far she was going, it did not matter at all. He would then be able to bring his little granddaughter home.
His granddaughter should be able to walk by then, which was the perfect timing to play with her. He would take her out every day and showed her around. He was so invested in his granddaughter that his grandsons held no value to him now.
There were many boys in the Lu family already, and two more were coming. Hence, everyone tended to love Xunxun more, as she was so beautiful and lovely.
Old Master Lu suddenly halted. What he intended to say just now was that their Xunxun bore a striking resemblance to the young Ye Rong, who was delicate and dainty too. As for their features, he could not tell but somehow, they looked alike. No wonder Ye Chuji had such thoughts. After all, he was the one who watched Ye Rong growing up.
However, he did not further his thoughts anymore. His granddaughter would definitely grow into a beautiful young lady, regardless of whom she resembled, be it Yan Huan or Ye Rong. He could already imagine how everyone would be green with envy as his granddaughter got older.
Sun Yuhan waited for Old Master Lu to leave, before pushing the door open carefully and ran in.
“Grandpa, when can I be on set?” Sun Yuhan asked Ye Jianguo as she shook his arm.
Letting out a sigh, Ye Jianguo patted the back of Sun Yuhan’s hand and said, “Yuhan sweetie, Grandpa will get you another film, ok? Let’s just forget about that film.”
Why! Initially, she wanted to yell it out. However, she ultimately held it in and suppressed her emotions.
“Alright, Grandpa, I understand.” She bitterly forced a smile, which made Grandpa Ye felt extremely guilty. However, it was impossible for him to fulfill all her needs as he was not all-powerful.
As docile as Sun Yuhan might be, her makeup-slathered face still hideously distorted.
It was November. As the winter was approaching, the weather seemed to be getting colder rapidly. Yesterday’s autumn outfit no longer seemed sufficient to resist today’s piercing coldness, without an additional cotton sweater. As the frosting wind slashed at the body, it lifted the clothes and allowed the glacial cold to sneak in. Now, one could truly sense the icy temperature of the nearing winter.
This year’s winter seemed to be particularly freezing.
A woman covered up in layers of clothes made her way into a high-class clubhouse. Although she was heavily dressed and her curves were hardly visible, one could still instantly recognize that she was unmistakably, a woman.
As she opened the door of a private room, her eyes were smarting from the warm air inside the room. Removing her cap, she glanced at the lady sitting down on the chair, who was superfluously dressed in luxurious garments and seemed extravagantly opulent.
“Sun Yuhan, what brings you to me?” The woman’s voice was scratchy, as if her throat was filled with sand. It sounded nothing different from a voice crack in others’ ears, which was terribly awful and grating. Her exposed face was an unbearable sight too. Her cheeks were deeply sunken with hardly any flesh left on her gaunt face, as if she was all skin and bones. Not every type of slimness looked good, for example, this stick-thin woman. She was overly thin, she simply looked horrendous, distorted, and almost terrifying.
“Miss Su, please take a seat.”
Sun Yuhan pointed at the seat opposite to her, but Su Muran did not budge an inch. Yes, it was Su Muran. If anyone were to see the current Su Muran, they would be horrified by her drastic change. Besides being as thin as a skeleton, she looked like she had aged for at least 10 years. Although she did not win the International Best Actress Award, she was still a shining star with the National Best Actress title.
