Oh, that sum of money turned out to be quite a loss.
Yuran took out her phone and fiddled with it for a while before Qi Younian’s phone rang once opposite her. He took out his phone, lowered his eyes, and saw a long string of messages sent by Yuran, puzzled.
"This is something I left with a certain old friend back in the day. Now, it’s inconvenient for me to retrieve it, but you can."
Qi Younian questioned, puzzled, "An old friend Yinchao doesn’t know about?"
Yuran nodded, "Yeah, actually, I never really thought about doing anything with this thing I left behind. But, stepping on me to gain favor and not paying a price? How could that be right?"
"What is it?" Qi Younian actually felt a bit excited.
Yuran, "A good thing, a will. But sorry, there isn’t much left for you. Instead, that ungrateful wretch Fu Bairan got quite a bit."
Qi Younian nodded seriously, "Hmm, you were quite foolish before."
Some idiots just like to step where it hurts. They aren’t happy unless they do. She thought of Bo Yan again, and her expression immediately fell.
Qi Younian coughed lightly, thinking he might have spoken too harshly, and hurriedly said, "I was just saying, don’t take it to heart. You’re making me feel like a criminal."
"I know who the male lead of ’Glory And You, None Shall Fail’ is."
Qi Younian was stunned, "Your sources are more informed than mine? I didn’t even know!"
This was an utter humiliation.
Yuran lifted her eyelids to look at him, "Bo Yan."
When Qi Younian heard the name, his head spun for a moment, ready to respond, "Oh, it’s him," but upon hearing the name, he was petrified.
"Bo Yan, playing Xuan Che."
Facing Qi Younian’s shocked eyes, Yuran enunciated each word clearly.
Silence then spread between the two.
Qi Younian took a sip of his lemonade in front of him to quell his shock. Then, his mind spun myriad thoughts. "Bo Yan, that’s good, too. Opportunities to work with a big movie star like Bo Yan are rare. His ’Hero’ is about to end its run, and I’ve checked the box office. So far, it has reached a whopping 4.1 billion.
With about ten days left, hitting 5 billion should be no problem. But that big movie star Bo Yan, if you do well with him, it’s a win-win, but show any weakness, and you’re the one who drags him down, the culprit."
"Don’t I know it better than you? When I was Fu Yuran, I didn’t dare to work with him. Such a person, with such a dominant personal appeal, could lead to mutual advancement if well-executed or utter self-destruction if botched. Look at the female actresses who have worked with him, how many have come off well?"
Qi Younian watched her thoughtfully, "That’s not right!"
Yuran looked up, "What’s not right?"
Qi Younian, "You seem to harbor a deep grudge against him. You’ve mentioned before that this original self of yours had a bad relationship with him, but... this grudge, you never showed it last time we talked. Did something happen that I don’t know about?"
Yuran felt somewhat guilty, her gaze wavering slightly, "No."
Qi Younian laughed, "Yuran, do you know that when you lie, you subconsciously avoid other people’s eyes? This little habit of yours hasn’t changed in all these years."
Too easy to see through.
Can’t you just die without exposing me? Can you, can you?
Her face couldn’t hold the facade. How could she explain? Could she say that she was unduly familiar with the big movie star Bo Yan?
People might even speculate whether it was she who made a move on Bo Yan.
