Chapter 61 - Taken in as a Mistress

But she reacted pretty quickly. “Niannian is actually very smart, I believe she’ll learn it well.”

In any case, she couldn’t possibly talk bad about Li Beinian in front of Li Haoran.

Whether or not Li Haoran was being true or feigning, it was a fact that he felt bad towards Li Beinian and wanted to compensate her.

She had to save her image at all costs.

Li Xueqing’s words had Li Haoran nodding in satisfaction.

Li Beinian spent the next half a month studying.

But after the home tutor had left, Li Beinian went to the study room and brought up the idea of external tuition to Li Haoran.

“Attending tuition classes outside would help me improve faster, given the study environment.”

Li Haoran thought for a bit and found that it made sense.

The truth was that she’d been invited to the opening shoot of “Nine Spies”.

It was later than the opening shoot of “Legend of the Dragon Pearl” only because they had trouble finding a suitable actress to play the character Fan Hua.

Now that they’d settled the most difficult character from the beginning, it was a lot more efficient.

Thankfully, she had about 30 yuan in cash after selling her cell phone and managed to take a cab down to the venue. When she arrived, most of them were already there.

It wasn’t a large-budget film, but the director in charge of it was a renowned one.

Director Jin Lin was a veteran in this field. His standards were high and his judgment sharp.

All his films so far had been rather well-received.

As Li Beinian arrived, she saw Yang Liangyu in the distance.

Yang Liangyu was talking to a seemingly young and gentle girl. He turned around casually and his eyes seemed as if they’d been attracted by a magnetic force, unable to peel away.

That slender silhouette seemed just a little plumper than before, but also even younger, less mature.

She had on a simple black windbreaker with a white top underneath and was in a pair of casual flats. She looked neat and clean.

More importantly, she had applied some nude makeup. Her simple but graceful look made her more appealing than before.

Yin Shan turned, following Yang Liangyu’s gaze.

She saw Li Beinian right away.

A new face.

Yin Shan asked, “Director Yang, who’s that?”

Yang Liangyu snapped out of his senses. “Fan Hua.”

Before Yin Shan had a chance to respond, he started walking towards Li Beinian.

“Beinian, you’re finally here. I haven’t seen you in a while.” Yang Liangyu smiled. “You look really pretty today. Fan Hua is a down-and-out rich girl who’s very particular about her dressing. Your outfit today suits it just right.”

“Oh, is it.” Li Beinian looked at her outfit. “I casually picked it.”

Yang Liangyu smiled and pointed at a logo on her shoulder. “Even your casual outfit is a branded one. Tsk, did some rich man take you in or something?”

Li Beinian walked off as if she hadn’t heard him at all.

She looked at the time. It was ten minutes to 10—the hour the opening shoot was due to begin.

Yang Liangyu’s expression darkened as he followed behind her. “Don’t you think I don’t know the market. Your entire outfit amounts to a six-digit figure at least. Our production crew won’t tolerate those dirty, underhand means. If you’re someone’s mistress now, you’d better come clean with it. Save everyone the trouble and embarrassment.”
