Chapter 29: Rong Yan, It’s Really You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For three full days, Rong Yan had holed up in her small apartment researching the script.
It was nearly noon on the fourth day when she finally remembered the phone call she had received before.
After much hesitation in her apartment, she decided to attend.
She took the gift she had bought, casually picked out an outfit to wear, left her apartment, and took a taxi to the address Rong Jianguo had sent her.
In recent years, the Rong Family’s presence in Capital City had been very prominent. A continual stream of celebrities came to attend the Old Madam’s 70th birthday, and luxury cars filled the hotel entrance. Thanks to Rong Weiwei’s decent performance in the entertainment industry and HuanYu’s backing, the event was attended not just by celebrities, but also by many stars.
Amid the luxury cars and lavish attire, Rong Yan, who had arrived by taxi, looked completely out of place like an assistant who had come along for the ride.
Fortunately, the staff member arranged to meet her had no trouble finding her, and with someone to guide her, she was able to pass the strict security at the entrance and entered—
The hotel’s 300-square-meter grand hall was decorated magnificently, and the mellow music mixed with the bustle of the underway service brought out an aura of high class.
“Just wait here for a moment, the madam is still busy greeting guests and will come to find you once she’s done. I’ve got other things to take care of, so don’t wander around, okay?” The contempt in the eyes of the staff member who brought her in was clear as they distantly reminded her.
I have no idea what the madam was thinking, why she would let this one attend the banquet. What a loss of face if someone recognizes her!
Rong Yan acted as if she hadn’t seen the scorn in her eyes and indifferently responded, “Got it.”
She was only here today to deliver the gift to her grandmother, not to stir up trouble. She would leave as soon as the gift was given.
The staff member, apparently not really wanting to deal with her, immediately went off to be busy with their own tasks after getting her promise, not even bringing her a glass of water.
Rong Yan was long accustomed to their attitudes and found a corner to shrink into while she played with her phone, waiting for someone.
Just as she was on a killing spree in the game as an assassin, an annoying voice sounded.
“Rong Yan, I knew it was you.”
Rong Yan frowned slightly, lifted her head, and as expected, saw a face more annoying than the voice itself.
They had acted together in the hit “Mermaid’s Tear.” She played the sister of the male lead, while the recently debuted Kim Yien played her best friend in the drama.
During filming, Kim Yien had appeared to take good care of her, as if they were true best friends, lulling her into letting her guard down. Later, her ‘good friend,’ under the pay of Rong Weiwei, had served her a drug-laced drink and invited reporters to photograph her in that state.
In truth, throughout the entire ordeal, Rong Weiwei never once got her hands dirty.
Because she had a good “knife” at her disposal!
These past years Kim Yien, with the backing of Ronz Weiwei and her sugar daddy, had been doing quite well in the entertainment industry and was considered one of the most popular actresses among their peers.
She put away her phone and, with a facade of a smile, looked at the person who had arrived in full dress before turning to leave, “Good dogs don’t stand in the way.”
Kim Yien watched the woman who was becoming more beautiful, her pretty eyes sparking with flames of disgust as she stubbornly blocked her way, “Rong Yan, you still have the nerve to come back. If I were you, I would have tucked tail and run far away.”
Faced with her mockery, Rong Yan returned with a bland comment, “That’s why you are not me, and I’m not a dog; I can’t learn that trick of tucking my tail.”
She dared to call her a dog!
Kim Yien’s delicate face suddenly contorted in anger as she made a move to shove someone, “What do you mean by that!”
