Chapter 98: Too Deep

historical

She went into the bathroom and turned on the tap, ran her hand through the water to wet it, and then fluffed her hair to make it look disheveled.

When she came out, Yi Ling widened her eyes, “Huanhuan, you look great in this suit.”

She dressed casually in simple clothing.

Yan Huan smiled shyly and touched her hair once again.

“It’s just dinner with the cast, there is no need to dress too fancy. Besides, I’m just a supporting role, if you dress me up like a doll I’m afraid many people would hate me.”

“You’re already as beautiful as a doll.” Yi Ling wasn’t convinced, while temperament was acquired, appearance was given by parents. Huanhuan looked pretty and had graceful beauty, and those who were not happy with that fact should blame their own parents, not others who were beautiful.

Yan Huan grabbed her bag and smoothed out her clothes. It shouldn’t be a problem, I just need to be myself.

The drove to the restaurant early, since it was always better to be early than late, and they couldn’t let the others wait for a supporting actress.

“Yan Huan, there you are.”

Director Jin waved to Yan Huan when he saw her; he had a favourable impression of the new actress, and he wished she would play in his next drama. He was waiting to surprise her with the good news.

“Good evening, Director Jin.” Yan Huan walked over. She had lived for so long, so the way she got along with people was different from other new actors. She smiled naturally and had relaxed posture, she wasn’t anxious or picky, she wouldn’t make a nuisance of herself and overshadow the leading role.

She knew she was just a supporting actress, not the lead.

After a short while, Su Qiao and Qi Haolin came one after the other. Both of them were wearing masks and sunglasses so as not to be recognized by others, which could cause unnecessary trouble.

Yan Huan stood behind everyone as if she was transparent.

Nevertheless, Qi Haolin nodded warmly at her despite them having been rivals in the drama. Yan Huan relaxed suddenly, after all, it was always a bit awkward for a new actor who didn’t know anyone. If no one would pay attention to her, she could only brazen it out and start conversations with whomever was willing.

Yan Huan had lived for so long and was born to have high self-esteem, she couldn’t let herself be made small.

However, someone had been friendly to her right awayt, and it was enough for her to remember her past lifetime. Qi Haolin was definitely a good man, but she couldn’t remember how he was in the end, as he had faded out in movie circles when she became famous, and he was most famous at the time of Director Jin’s film.

Oh yes, she remembered. Someone had blackened her name around that time. It’s not wrong to say that the entertainment business is very public, but it’s also one of the darkest industries in the world.

Director Jin rose to his feet and said a few words, explaining that this was a wrap up party for the cast and crew of Love and Tribulations, but they still had a lot of work to do as a series of promotions were coming up.
