However, there was a sinister and cold look on his expressionless face. Even if someone wanted to go forward and say something, they would be forced to retreat by his aura.

His dark eyes narrowed as he stared at the woman who was smiling innocently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The anger that he had been suppressing for the past few days stirred in his heart. Looking at the smile on the woman’s face from afar, even if it lasted for a second, something darker than malice would rush out of his bones.

The woman smiled and waved at the man. Then, she raised her glass at him. The dazzling lights in the banquet hall reflected in her eyes.

Her fawning smile was too glaring.

Looking at Pei Yunze’s embarrassed expression, Ye Qingqiu waved her hand and said, “It’s a misunderstanding.” Then, she raised her glass to toast the man. “I apologize. Here’s to you. Don’t be angry.”

Her tone was fawning. After all, it hurt a man’s pride to suspect that he had a hidden illness.

Most importantly, whether his work went smoothly in the future had a lot to do with him.

She pressed the glass against her red lips and finished the rest of the champagne. When she retracted the glass, she turned her gaze and saw the man standing beside the pool.

Her smooth movements paused for a moment before her gaze shifted slightly to the woman beside the man.

She retracted her gaze and put down the wine glass. She looked at Pei Yunze with the same smile on her face.

Under everyone’s envious gazes, Liang Xuer slowly approached the man and held his arm elegantly.

Li Tingshen’s tall figure did not move. His dark eyes slid to the corner of his eyes as he glanced at the woman approaching him.

“Are you done chatting?”

“Yeah.”

Liang Xuer’s smile was flawless, but she was panicking.

She didn’t know when it started, but she felt that the man beside her was getting further and further away from her.

There seemed to be a ravine between them that they could never cross. However, they had already taken the path that they needed to take. They had overcome all obstacles, but in the end, they stopped at the edge of this ravine and could not take another step forward.

But now, they seemed to be getting further and further away from each other. It was as though the earth’s crust was shifting, causing the gully between them to widen.

This feeling was terrifying.

‘Since when?’

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the smiling woman opposite her.

It was probably the moment she was released from prison.

Shen Fanxing and Chu Yi’s figures entered her vision, as well as another familiar figure.

Liang Xuer lowered her gaze and turned her body to the side, gently pulling the man’s arm.

“Tingshen, let’s go and greet Sister-in-law. And Chu Yi, the drama we’re filming is about to start.”

Li Tingshen’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly as he looked at the cheerful woman opposite him.

Cen Bo’s thin lips twitched into a cold and sarcastic smile.

Ever since they met outside the hotel, her gaze had never stopped on him.

Instead, she was bickering with a group of unimportant people.

Did he agree to her working?

She lowered her gaze, hiding the dazzling lights and the woman’s smile. She replied softly, “Yes.”

–

“Yaochi, this is Director Zhao Chengxing from Legend of Lu Yun. Shen Qianrou’s role, Su Yaochi, is currently vacant. Director Zhao thinks that you’re not bad and wants you to take over.”

Pei Yaochi hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man beside her.

“I’m really honored, but am I… really suitable for that role?” She hadn’t gotten the script yet, so she didn’t know if she was suitable.

Zhao Chengxing said helplessly, “Actually, you were the one who chose this role. The name of the role was also you. But back then… Young Master Gu refused to let you act. Instead, he recommended Shen Qianrou and invested a lot of money into the production team… That’s why we…”

“Gu Zeyan doesn’t want me to act?”

“I saw Young Master Gu when I looked for you back then, so…”

Zhao Chengxing did not continue. Those who could understand naturally understood!

Pei Yaochi’s face turned cold. She recalled how she had a dispute with Gu Zeyan because he had bought a role for Shen Qianrou. She didn’t expect that.

That role was hers to begin with.

He had given her role to Shen Qianrou halfway and even invested ten million yuan.

“Ha…”

Pei Yaochi sneered. She felt like she had cut ties with Gu Zeyan and had nothing to do with him anymore.

She was acting in his drama and his budget did not include her salary.

Other than the necessary living expenses, she had saved up all the endorsement fees, endorsement fees, and remuneration for his new drama.

In the end, he even got involved.

Gu Ze and Yan!

Shen Fanxing remained calm. She had just found out about this. Other than a sneer, she wasn’t too affected.

It had nothing to do with her. Besides, someone would deal with such a traitor.

Pei Yunze remained calm, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

It was fine if he didn’t know, but now that he knew, Gu Zeyan?

How could he let him off so easily?

“I’ve read the script. The character is very story-telling. Thinking back, Gu Zeyan was still infatuated with Shen Qianrou back then. For him to go through so much trouble, it’s obvious that this character is very likable.”

Moreover, Shen Qianrou had been in the entertainment industry for so many years. Which of her roles wasn’t likable?

Pei Yaochi nodded.

All these years, the roles she had taken on were basically better than those of passersby. It had been a long time since she had taken on such an important role.

She had entered the entertainment industry not for fun, but she had never thought of relying on these to support herself.

After being delayed by Gu Zeyan for so many years, she had to focus on doing what she liked.

It was fate that the character had returned to him.

Ye Qingqiu sighed and said, “I just felt relaxed and you’re already busy?”

Shen Fanxing glanced at her and said, “Why don’t you find someone to support you? You don’t have to do anything.”

Pei Yaochi covered her mouth and laughed. “We were just talking about this. My brother said that he doesn’t mind keeping a mistress.”
