Yan Huan refused to listen any more once she heard what Luo Lin had to say
Being replaced was something very common in the entertainment industry. However, she had never been replaced before in both her lifetimes. She earned a living from acting and any director who knew what was good wouldnât replace an actress like her for someone else.
âWhat did Director Jin say?â Yan Huan asked Luo Lin. Director Jin had personally promised to give her the first female lead. If it wasnât for this promise, she wouldnât have made changes to her schedule to act in his show.
Now she was told that she was being replaced. Even if that was so, shouldnât she have an explanation?
âDirector Jin didnât say much, he only asked me to apologise on his behalf.â Luo Lin sighed before extending her hand and patted her on the shoulder. âActually even if he doesnât say, I already know why. It must have been from the top and someone must have a very strong backing to replace you as the first female lead.â
âThen what am I acting as?â
âThe second female lead.â Luo Lin said helplessly. âYan Huan, you make the decision. If you do not want to act in this, I will help you turn it down. We can find some other shows to act in. I have a few more at hand but they are all released a little later.â
Yan Huan didnât have much love for the role of the second female lead right now, but she could consider the second female lead role for Beauty. It wasnât out of the question.
It was a pity to lose a show where she could be the first female lead. She was definitely a little uncomfortable.
âCan I know who is replacing me?â
Yan Huan asked Luo Lin. She really wanted to know who had such a strong backing to be able to replace her. She had just won the best newcomer award and was basking in glory. Even a normal sponsor couldnât replace her this easily as she can earn money for the entire show.
âI think she is called...â
Luo Lin frowned. âit is a very unfamiliar name, I heard she had just returned from studies overseas.
However what was it? She couldnât remember.
That is right. She suddenly remembered.
âShe is called Su Muran.â
âSu Muran!â
Yan Huan stood up abruptly. The colour drained from her face and Luo Lin was incredibly weirded out by how agitated she was. âWhy Yan Huan, do you know her?â
I guess so. Yan Huan sat back down and returned to her usual calmness. But only she knew then that there was much turbulence in her heart.
Su Muran.
Heh, its her. It really is her. That isnât surprising. With her backing, it wasnât difficult to bring Su Muran up. However, she didnât understand why Su Muran appeared early in this lifetime.
Could it be that her life track has changed and hence, others had also changed? But whatever the case was, Su Muran had appeared before her now.
It was earlier than expected but it was the same. She had chosen to walk this path but she had no idea whether in this lifetime, would she crush Yan Huan or would Yan Huan beat her down?
âSu Muran, what is her background?â Luo Lin asked Yan Huan. She could tell that Yan Huan recognised her but she had no idea who she was despite being in this industry for such a long time. How could Yan Huan know who she was?
âHer background?â Yan Huan smiled. Her gaze was incredibly cold.
âShe is the daughter of the affluent Su family in Sea City. She studied in a prestigious arts school in the UK and had received an elite education since she was young. What kind of background do you think she has? She only wants a first female lead role now, not just any first female lead role. So long as she takes a liking for, the Su family will help her get her hands on it.
They had to fight with their face, their acting skills and their opportunities.
But Su Muran just needed to fight using her dad.
In her past life, Yan Huan had lost against her. She stole all of Yan Huanâs glory and her diva position. She almost bled Yan Huan dry and had exchanged her life for Yan Huanâs fix months old baby.
In this life, she had no idea if she would be able to escape that and whether Yan Huan would still be as foolish.
âSu family?â Luo Lin thought of all the established family in Sea City. All of them controlled a huge portion of the wealth in Sea City.
There was the Lu family. They had immense control over the media.
Another was the Ye family. Their family was related to the Lu family but they were incredibly secretive. They wouldnât appear in the public eye usually but their influence was no less important than the Lu family. Another was the Lei family. They were a traditional family that always had their influence.
The last one was the Su family. They were incredibly rich with their company business all over the country and globally. They were in all the money-making industries and their influence were comparable to the other families. The Su family didnât have many male offspring and there was only a daughter in this generation. Could that person be Su Muran?
If it was really that Su family, it was easily explained why Director Jin would back down.
Commoners stayed away from conflicts with officials. Even though the Su family isnât the officials, the ins and out of the family was well-known. No commoner would dare to offend them. Yan Huan didnât need to fight for the first female lead role any more, she wouldnât be able to win the Su family.
âSis Luo, could you pass me the script?â
Yan Huan extended her hand to Luo Lin, she wanted to see the rest of the script.
Luo Lin quickly took the script and placed it in front of Yan Huan. Yan Huan took off her shoes and snuggled her white legs on the sofa. She placed the script on her legs and started flipping through them page by page.
The first page was the cast list.
First female lead: Su Muran as Mei Rushi.
First male lead: Bai Qiu as Qin Jun.
Second female lead: Yan Huan as Shen Jing.
The âsecond female leadâ words were indeed glaring to Yan Huan. No one would be willing to take this lying after being demoted from the first female lead to the second female lead this brazenly.
Beauty talked about a lady from a common family and how she used her wits to become a queen. The first female lead was known as Mei Rushi. The first male lead, Qin Jun, was the owner of the Qin family manor. The second female lead was Qin Junâs wife, Shen Jing. Shen Jing was the epitome of an evil woman.
Now she knew what felt wrong when she first agreed to star in this show. The first impression that the script gave her was a battle between two commoners.
Now that she thought about it, wasnât this a commoner vs. mistress story?
Thatâs right Su Muran, you want to act as Mei Rushi, I will let you act as her. I want to see how a homewrecker like you become the owner of the house.
âLuo Lin, I will take this show.â
