Chapter 14: Shangguan Yunli

  Chapter 14: Shangguan Yunli

  Ye Xian?!

  How was that possible?

  How could he look like this now?

  A fsh of shock lit up in Cheng Jingshu’s eyes, but she was a seasoned actress—within moments, her expression returned to calm.

  “Ye Xian? I really didn’t recognize you. You’ve changed a lot today. Is it because the CEO came back?”

  Ye Xian merely curled her lips into a slight smile and didn’t answer.

  She was thinking: the reporters swarming both the front and back entrances of the hotel—were they sent by her too?

  Seeing that he wouldn’t even respond, Cheng Jingshu’s face darkened a bit.

  Just a disgusting gay—acting all proud just because he changed his look?

  Or was it because her pn to drug Jiang Wanze failed, and he held a grudge? If he was stupid enough to screw it up, who else could he bme?

  “I saw you chatting so happily over there earlier—what were you talking about?”

  Cary replied, “We were talking about—”

  “I’ve got something to do. You guys keep chatting.”

  Ye Xian lifted a wine gss and walked off into the crowd.

  Cary watched her, puzzled. “Weird. Didn’t Ye Tagalong used to love chatting you up, Jingshu? Why’s he avoiding you today?”

  Lin Yan stared in the direction Ye Xian disappeared, feeling—perhaps for the first time—that he couldn’t figure him out.

  Ye Xian truly didn’t want to talk to fake-sweet, green-tea-type women like Cheng Jingshu, but this wasn’t about avoiding her.

  She came to Chairman Bo’s birthday banquet with a clear goal: to connect with big-name stars and famous directors, to build her own network of resources.

  Right now, standing nearby was a fairly well-known director in the industry, whose test work was airing on Apple TV—and it was actually doing well.

  “Director Zhang~”

  Ye Xian approached with a radiant smile. Director Zhang turned around to see a fresh-faced, handsome young man walking up, and his eyes lit up.

  Which company does this young man belong to? Such a proper look.

  “You are?”

  “Ye Xian.”

  “Ack—” As soon as Director Zhang heard her name, his face changed. He waved his hand and turned to walk away. “I’ve got something else to take care of!”

  “Hey—”

  Ye Xian watched him leave, completely baffled.

  Just then, a young producer passed by, and Ye Xian quickly grabbed him. “Producer Liu, I’ve heard great things about you~”

  “You are?”

  “Ye Xian.”

  Producer Liu nearly slipped in panic, shook her off, and bolted.

  Ye Xian: “…” Kid, do you have a lot of question marks in your head too?

  Was the original Ye Xian’s reputation in the industry really that bad? So bad that people would flee the moment they heard her name?

  She tried chatting up a few more people, but all attempts failed miserably. By the end, she didn’t even dare say her name anymore.

  She, who had once won double Best Actress awards, three major film trophies, and was chased by top directors in her past life… had now fallen so far she had to grovel just to get noticed?

  Feeling a little disheartened, Ye Xian turned around—only to bump into a broad chest.

  She took a step back and looked up at the man in front of her.

  The man was tall and lean, dressed in a light coffee-colored casual suit, one hand in his pocket. His face wore a warm smile, and a pair of peach blossom eyes gave his look an added charm. Dashing and handsome, effortlessly charming.

  Yet another guy more attractive than Jiang Wanze. How was Jiang Wanze even the male lead?

  But… he didn’t seem to be in the original novel. The original Ye Xian had no memory of him either.

  “Do we know each other?” Ye Xian asked cautiously.

  “You don’t know me, but I know you.”

  “And you are?”

  “Shangguan Yunli.”

  The man extended a hand. Ye Xian set down her gss and shook it. “Ye Xian. Nice to meet you…”

  Shangguan Yunli… wait—Shangguan?

  In the imperial capital, the Shangguan name belonged to only one elite family—the real estate tycoon family of Shangguan He.

  Could he be the rumored only son of Shangguan He—Shangguan Yunli?

  A charming pyboy, carefree and unruly, who entered the entertainment industry for just a year and already won a Blue Mountain Film Award?!
