Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Why is she so cocky? Is it just because her family is rich? She is just another secret admirer of that arrogant man, Ji Jingchen. After all, he is still a normal human being. What’s so special about him? We don’t care about him at all, don’t we, Yuanyuan?” He Lili finally managed to complain.
Du Jiuyuan wasn’t angry at all when she heard this. “Aren’t you afraid that Ji Jingchen will kill you if he hears what you just said?”
He Lili said, “If he intends to kill me, I’ll tell him that you sold him out to a very annoying woman for the sake of 10 million yuan. If I am to die, I’d die together with you!”
“Fine, you win!” Du Jiuyuan said.
At that moment, Susu brought Du Jiuyuan a glass of water. “Sister Jiuyuan, Miss Luoluo is here.”
‘Luoluo is not scheduled to have any plans today! Why is she here?’ He Lili was suspicious.
Du Jiuyuan on the other hand had an idea of why Luoluo came over. The mischievous little girl must have noticed that something was amidst.
Fang Nuan bumped into Luoluo upon walking out from the studio. She was overjoyed and in high spirits since she had just obtained Ji Jingchen’s contact information. Luoluo was dressed as a student today and even carried a school bag. Yet, she didn’t seem out of place at all.
The two brushed past each other, and Fang Nuan’s phone rang. Her assistant picked up the call. “What? You’d better tell my boss about this!”
The man’s expression was extremely ugly as he passed the phone to Fang Nuan.
“Useless assistant!” Fang Nuan cursed and took the phone.
“Miss Fang, I’m really sorry. The director for the Midnight Moon drama has chosen someone else as the main actress. However, the producer asked me to inform you that there will be another main actress role for you in the future,” the person on the other end of the phone said before hanging up the phone.
Midnight Moon was a story about an ancient female actress and the drama required the actress to put on an ancient costume. The novel on which the drama was based was a tremendous hit. When the author announced the novel was going to be turned into a drama, the news had been trending for half a month.
To secure the main actress role, Fang Nuan pulled plenty of strings. Not only did she have to pay for it, but she also had to go over her moral boundaries just to secure the spot.
Meanwhile, Luoluo’s phone also rang. It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or intentionally done, but she spoke out loud.
“Brother Yang, I need to inform you that the director called me this morning and asked me to be the main actress!” Luoluo stood at the door and did not enter. She merely waved her hand when she saw Du Jiuyuan come out.
Fang Nuan was stunned when she heard the word ‘main actress’. Was Luoluo talking about the role of her drama?
“Brother Yang, the director must have taken a liking to my acting skills and insisted that I play the role. I told him I am not confident in being the main actress, but he and the producer said that they all believe in me. I can only improve my acting skills and not disappoint them now.” Luoluo’s words made Fang Nuan panic.
Earlier on, Fang Nuan could not confirm that Luoluo was the one who had snatched her main actress role. After all, there was a possibility that Luoluo was referring to something else. But after she heard Luoluo uttering the word ‘main actress’ repeatedly, Fang Nuan instantly reacted.
Luoluo talked a while more with Brother Yang before hanging up and preparing to walk into Yuan Hua Studio.
Fang Nuan walked over and stopped her. “Why did you snatch my role?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand?” Luoluo was never someone to be trifled with, so she immediately retorted with a harmless expression.
“Oh, that’s right! I heard that the Midnight Moon drama originally wanted the main actress role to be played by someone who came from a talent show. Are you the one?” Luoluo pretended to be surprised as if she didn’t know what was going on.
“You…” Fang Nuan couldn’t take it anymore. She was about to teach Luoluo a lesson when she was stopped by her assistant.
“I’ve done my research. Everyone says that there’s someone significant supporting Luoluo from behind. Those who offend her won’t have a good ending.” The assistant performed his duties and didn’t care about Fang Nuan’s bad temper.
“The director must have taken a liking to my acting skills. After all, I have profound knowledge of the acting industry. You might have been rejected because you debuted in a talent show and don’t have any significant experience. But, please don’t give up, continue working hard!” Luoluo was only a few years older than Fang Nuan, yet her tone was like a senior giving lesson to a junior.
Fang Nuan glared at Luoluo angrily. If her assistant didn’t stop her, she would have already rushed up and hit Luoluo.
“If it doesn’t work out, I can be your teacher and guide you on how to hone your acting skills. This way, the role that you’ve worked so hard to get in the future won’t be canceled!” Luoluo’s face was full of sincerity, and her big eyes blinked. It was very infuriating to see.
He Lili, who was following behind Du Jiuyuan, pursed her lips. She reminded herself to stay away from Luoluo in the future since Luoluo can be truly demon-like.. Once Luoluo is provoked, she would certainly seek revenge.
