The famous actor’s body was covered in marks.
Madam Yin took one look.
It reminded her of her husband and the woman he was keeping.
She had no sympathy for the famous actor; instead, she despised her vulgarity.
If it weren’t for her deliberate seduction, how could she have attracted He Jiheng’s attentions like this?
After all, he was a cold and unapproachable man; if it weren’t for her manipulation, how could Shui Linglong have possibly ended up in his bed?
Madam Yin was very disdainful.
But on the surface, she consoled others extremely well.
Shui Linglong had gifted a treasure and was very satisfied as she put her clothing back on.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Men just don’t know how to be considerate."
She also mentioned how Jitang was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and treated her well.
Madam Yin, drinking tea, found it hard to interject.
After a long talk, Shui Linglong finally got to the point.
She said, "Earlier, I heard from Young Master Ji that the distinguished Mr. Charles will come to the residence tonight."
She touched her hair, "Young Master Ji said my Kunqu singing was good and asked me to perform for the guests."
Madam Yin heard it.
Shui Linglong still had her uses.
She put down her teacup and exclaimed, "Young Master Ji actually managed to invite him? He truly has great influence."
The famous actor Meili eyed her.
As though Madam Yin had never seen the world before.
The famous actor said, "It’s the Charles family that wants to form a bond with Young Master Ji! The He family is the true nobility, they should be kneeling before him."
Madam Yin did not argue with her.
At that moment, she wanted to get that entry ticket.
She wanted to meet Mr. Charles himself, to show her prestigious status at a private important banquet.
She wanted to secure that project.
She thought of Yin Mingzhu.
She had the idea to offer Yin Mingzhu to Charles’s son in exchange for benefits.
Madam Yin expressed her wishes.
Shui Linglong dared not agree outright, as she did not have such standing with Jitang.
She feared he would be angered.
If he was angered, her own flesh and blood would suffer.
Madam Yin couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
The famous actor, who had received her favors, was also willing to try for her.
She said, "I will speak well of you in front of Young Master Ji, but I can’t guarantee he will agree."
With that said, Madam Yin responded, "It wasn’t in vain that I cared for you."
Before leaving, she left a hundred thousand as a favor.
She left, and Shui Linglong picked up the hundred thousand.
She didn’t care much for it.
She remembered the last time Su Ruanruan had slapped Chen Er and also gave him a hundred thousand.
She was a famous actor, how could she have the same price as Chen Er?
After taking the money, the famous actor washed up and went to the main house to serve.
Jitang, after a night of hard work, was willing to see her.
When she arrived, he was getting dressed.
The famous actor tenderly served him, helping him tie his tie and handed him his coat.
Jitang was in a good mood today.
He casually asked her, "What do you want?"
The famous actor quickly spoke, "I have a sister who heard about the excitement tonight and also wants to come and see."
Deliberately not mentioning Madam Yin’s name, she wanted to fish in troubled waters.
But Jitang directly asked, "Is it Madam Yin?"
The famous actor was startled and dared not make a sound.
Luckily, he agreed, saying indifferently, "Let her come then, she can enter through the gate of your small courtyard. The old lady hasn’t been fond of her lately."
The famous actor tenderly said yes.
She knelt to help him put on his leather shoes.
Her body was soft, clad only in thin, soft fabric.
The curve of her waist was particularly enticing and attractive.
Jitang glanced at his watch; there was still half an hour.
He swept her up with one large hand; her body fell into his hand.
He was never gentle; the famous actor loved and feared him.
Her eyes reddened, resisting the force of his hand, her voice soft and child-like, "Please treat me kindly, my lord."
Jitang was never swayed by women.
As always, he used and discarded.
After he left, the famous actor supported herself back to the small courtyard.
She had received Jitang’s love and favor, and he had given her face.
She couldn’t wait to call Madam Yin, sharing the good news.
Madam Yin was upset upon hearing she had to enter through the small gate.
She was somewhat disappointed: it seemed that even though the famous actor’s body was soft, she ultimately could not tie down Jitang’s heart.
But, despite the humiliation, she still had to take Yin Mingzhu there.
