Chapter 225 â Itâs My Turn To Pursue You (2)
Shen Weiâan, from the beginning, the person who ought to have died shouldâve been you, not meâ¦
Lan Jinyao looked Shen Weiâan in the eyes, and she noticed the latterâs gaze gradually becoming gloomier by the second.
âWeiâan, look! That person over there, isnât he the Director youâve always told me about? I heard that he has a new movie production, and theyâre currently holding auditions to cast the female lead. Moreover, he specifically mentioned that he didnât want any famous actresses for this role; heâll only cast unfamiliar faces.â
Of course, Shen Weiâanâs current status in the entertainment industry wasnât very high nor very low, so wasnât she also considered as an unfamiliar face?
However, upon hearing Lan Jinyaoâs words, Shen Weiâan didnât seem very happy as she questioned, âWhat do you mean by not casting famous actresses, but only unfamiliar faces? Are you implying that my current standing in the entertainment industry is very low?â
Lan Jinyao inwardly retorted: Yup, youâre standing is indeed lowâ¦
However, she smiled and said, âWeiâan, you clearly know that I didnât mean it like that. That Director is very famous, and the quality of his productions are also quite good. Due to this, I thought that you could give it a try. If the Director picks you as the female lead, then who knows? Maybe when the movie is out, youâll be the next Movie Goddess!â
Shen Weiâanâs eyes instantly lit up; they were glistening with insatiable greed.
At this moment, Lan Jinyao knew that Shen Weiâan had taken the bait. In her previous life, sheâd obstructed her friend in every way, but Shen Weiâan still stubbornly went ahead to seduce that man. This time, however, she deliberately let Shen Weiâan notice the man and encouraged her to go ahead. As she thought of this, a tinge of sorrow suddenly poured in Lan Jinyaoâs heart.
âSay, do you really think that heâll take a fancy to me?â
Shen Weiâan stared down at her clothes and fiddled with her hair, seemingly hesitant.
Lan Jinyao sneered. The current Shen Weiâan looked extremely unsophisticated, unlike the domineering attitude she normally pulled off in public. However, Lan Jinyao knew deep down that this was all just a facade; Shen Weiâan was merely finding an excuse for her actions.
âOf course! Compared to the other women here, youâre the most attractive one tonight. Even those famous actresses pale in comparison.â
These words made Shen Weiâan particularly happy. She tugged at her dress and slowly walked towards the Director with a glass of red wine in hand.
While Lan Jinyao was drinking in a corner, she suddenly heard movement coming from the entrance and looked over. As soon as her gaze landed on the man at the door, she instantly froze.
At this moment, Lan Jinyaoâs cheeks were slightly flushed as sheâd drunk quite a few cups of red wine. It seemed as if sheâd applied some rouge on her cheeks.
Itâs Fu Bainian. Her eyes instantly lit up as she fixed her gaze on him.
From a distance, Fu Bainian gave off a cold and detached aura. It was just like how the artists under Blue Hall Entertainment had described him. When he wasnât talking, he was as cold as an iceberg. However, Lan Jinyao preferred to call him a âwalking spotlightâ.
Thatâs just the way it is, right? After all, heâs such a dazzling man.
Lan Jinyao stared at the wine glass with only a mouthful of red wine left before raising her head and downing it. She then grabbed another glass of red wine and leisurely walked in Fu Bainianâs direction. Sheâd been walking in the limelight for too long, so she already knew how she should walk to appear more elegant and attract attention.
Fu Bainian didnât look at her. Seeing this, Lan Jinyao couldnât help but giggle in her heart. Actually, she knew that Fu Bainian was watching her way from the corner of his eyes. It was just that he was very good at camouflaging his actions. Heâd done so much for her behind the scenes, yet she wasnât aware of any of that. And, the worst part was, sheâd died back then without knowing that Fu Bainian had feelings for her.
The distance between the two was only ten steps away, yet Lan Jinyao felt like the distance between them was endless; it was if they had to cross another dimension.
Just as Lan Jinyao was about to reach Fu Bainian, Shen Weiâan suddenly started weeping. Like before, Lan Jinyao didnât hear what the Director had said to Shen Weiâan, but she saw Shen Weiâan ran out of the hall in tears.
Lan Jinyao subconsciously chased after her. She also knew that Fu Bainian would definitely follow her.
Lan Jinyao already knew where Shen Weiâan was going, but she wouldnât rush there in advance. Sheâd let Shen Weiâan mull over this first. Besides, Fu Bainian was also following behind her, so she couldnât let Fu Bainian notice anything out of the ordinary.
Later, Lan Jinyao hurried to Blue Hall Entertainmentâs headquarters. She stood in the elevator and stared at the face in the mirror, somewhat distracted and nervous. Shen Weiâan would cease to exist soon. She would put an end to the losses sheâd suffered in her previous life today. Now that she was granted a chance to start anew, she must eliminate the dangers that could possibly harm her.
At last, the elevator reached the top floor, and she rushed to the rooftop. The police and reporters were already there.
Shen Weiâan wept, and she looked very miserable from behind.
Lan Jinyao clenched her hands into fists. Even now, her heart would still accelerate and her body continued to tremble as she approached that spot. However, she must act well this time.
âWeiâan, what are you doing? Quickly come over here, donât scare me!â
As expected, Shen Weiâan turned around. Lan Jinyao noticed that Shen Weiâanâs gaze was still the same as before. It was brimming with resentment; as if she couldnât wait to tear her apart.
âLan Jinyao, Iâm warning you, donât you come over! I really donât want to live anymore. Itâs painful to live on. Some people can always get everything they want without any effort. Some people, however, even if they try their best and double their efforts, they still wonât be able to get what they want. How unfair is this world?â
Lan Jinyaoâs expression darkened. If you want to die, then just jump already and stop howling. The world was unfair to begin with. Those who put in effort would always be more fortunate. Yet, Shen Weiâan was one of those who was always full of tricks.
âDonât do anything stupid, Weiâan. Please, come over here, youâve got to live on and Iâm sure that youâll get what you want eventually.â
Lan Jinyao extended her hand and slowly approached Shen Weiâan.
At this time, Fu Bainian shouldnât have arrived yet. She was certain that he wouldâve held her back if he were here, and she wouldnât have been able to put on a good act.
When Lan Jinyao stopped in front of Shen Weiâan, she saw a hint of malice flash in the latterâs eyes, and at the same time, Shen Weiâan suddenly grabbed her hand.
âShen Weiâan, you actually want me to die, right?â
She asked in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear. Afterwards, she exerted some force and pushed Shen Weiâan off the building.
At this moment, a womanâs scream echoed in the night sky.
Lan Jinyao held out her hand, but she didnât manage to catch Shen Weiâan. She then collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
A group of policemen immediately stepped forward and took her to safety.
Shen Weiâan died at lastâ¦
