Chapter 29: 029 Friends
Compared to the chaos at Su Xinyan’s place, Su Ran’s side was a rare moment of comfort.
At the moment, she was on the phone with her good friend, Ye Zhichen.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were hospitalized?”
The helpless tone was tinged with blame.
“I’m fine, just a little cold, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Su Ran said lightly, not wanting to distract her with her own problems.
Ye Zhichen owned an entertainment company, which, amid the competitive Yong City, did not stand out much.
The domestic entertainment industry was now divided into two major camps.
Starry Media led the way as the old giant of Mainland Entertainment Industry.
Meanwhile, the historically established Huayu Entertainment was trailing closely behind.
Backed by Starry, Chongguang Entertainment under the Gu Family contrasted with Ye Zhichen’s Zisu, which stood alone without support.
Other entertainment companies mostly struggled to survive in between.
Zisu didn’t have many impressive artists, but they were rather strict in selecting scripts. Over the years, they had built a good reputation and acquired some fame.
Half a month ago, Ye Zhichen went abroad to talk about production, and naturally, Su Ran didn’t want her own affairs to impact her.
“How can you say it’s nothing? I would feel pain even if a single finger of yours was hurt, okay?”
Her heart warmed at the moment. This was the only gentleness left in her world.
“Is that schemer Su Xinyan up to her tricks behind your back again? This white lotus, wait until I come back to deal with her.”
Ye Zhichen spoke through clenched teeth, and even across the phone, Su Ran could hear the sound of her grinding her teeth.
Laughing helplessly, Su Ran responded, “All right, then I’ll thank Miss Ye in advance.”
Ye Zhichen had always been at odds with Su Xinyan and hadn’t spared her from dealings, but Su Ran knew very well that Ye Zhichen’s actions were mostly for her sake.
To have such a confidant in life was indeed fortunate.
“You just wait to see the drama unfold. After all these years of dealing with her, I’ve really learned a thing or two. I’d like to see how long this little white flower can keep up her act.”
Su Ran just smiled lightly and didn’t continue the conversation.
Whether in the past or the present, neither Gu Heng nor Su Xinyan were within the scope of her concern.
To prevent worrying her, Su Ran subtly changed the subject.
“How are things on your end? How did the talks go?”
At this, Ye Zhichen’s spirits deflated, her tone turning listless in an instant.
“The talks fell through. Big productions really aren’t that easy to secure.”
Su Ran’s hand tightened around the phone, and an exchange suddenly came to mind.
“Xiao Ran, you love designing so much, so how about I start a fashion company and you be my chief designer?”
“My wedding dress will also be designed by you. That way, my wedding will be perfect, without any regrets.”
“Let’s agree on that, then. I like the Hua Country style, the Phoenix Crown and Cape, the grand marriage procession…”
Snapping back to reality, Su Ran’s heart suddenly clenched.
She really had been negligent!
“It’s nothing, it will be okay.”
“I believe it will be okay too.”
Ye Zhichen pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly,
“Xiao Ran, you and Gu Heng…”
When Gu Heng was mentioned, Su Ran’s tone was very cold.
“We broke off the engagement.”
Su Ran always had been forthcoming with Ye Zhichen; the two shared everything with each other without any secrets.
Ye Zhichen was a bit nervous, so she quickly asked, “Who called it off?”
Su Ran’s lips curved into a lazy, indulgent smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhichen, across the ocean, let out a relieved sigh.
