Luo Fei was mad with rage.
She had intended to get rid of Ning Ran completely through Nan Chen, but Nan Chen ended up giving Ning Ran the role of second female lead instead.
Luo Fei could not understand where she went wrong, but the intelligent Ning Ran had seen right through her.
“Thank you so much! If not for your begging, I doubt I would’ve gotten this opportunity. I guess blood really is thicker than water. I knew you’d help me out.” Ning Ran laughed as she said that to Luo Fei.
“Get lost!” “Who the hell are you calling family?!” Luo Fei was furious.
“Is it frustrating?” “You want to get rid of me using Mr. Poker Face?” “Too bad for you, he was smart enough not to fall for it, and now I’ve countered you instead. Don’t you just regret yourself so much?” Ning Ran was unfazed, and kept a smile on her face.
The calmer Ning Ran appeared; the angrier Luo Fei became.
“You b****……” Luo Fei raised her hand, and was about to slap Ning Ran.
“You want to hit me?” “Go on, do it! A huge star bullying an ordinary actress? Let everyone here get it on camera!” Ning Ran motioned at Chen Xiangyun.
Cheng Xiangyun whipped out her phone and got the camera ready.
Luo Fei was trembling in anger as she put her hand down.
Manager Wang Xiaoou was a wise person. She could see that Ning Ran was no ordinary person.
If this goes on, Luo Fei would surely fall for Ning Ran’s tricks and act inappropriately.
So, she hurried on ahead to stop them, “We still have other plans for today, let’s go.”
“I can’t accept this! I must teach her a lesson!” Luo Fei was not letting go.
“Let it go, she’s just a second female lead. Why get so worked up over her?” “It isn’t worth it.”
Luo Fei thought about it, and agreed. She’s just the second female lead. I am still the first. I’ll have plenty of chances to get back at her on the set later on.
Comforted and persuaded by Wang Xiaoou, Luo Fei finally left the scene.
Nan Chen’s car was headed towards Nanshi Corporation headquarters, where he would have an important meeting with the partners.
In the back seat, Nan Chen closed his eyes and recalled the incident earlier.
They were so close to each other when the petite Ning Ran had confronted him.
Then, he had detected a faint smell of orange-blossom.
That was the most unforgettable scent in his memory. It was like no other.
On that night where he had intercourse with a woman in the clubhouse, that was the scent he detected from her.
When he found out that Luo Fei was the woman, he granted her the title as his girlfriend.
However, he had never smelled that refreshing scent on Luo Fei ever again.
A few years went by, and he had almost forgotten that scent completely. But today, he’s found it again.
As Nan Chen was lost in his thoughts, a sound from the mobile phone in the front seat snapped him out of it.
It came from a video that his assistant Jiang Zhe was watching. Nan Chen took a peek at the screen and noticed that it was a video of Ning Ran’s performance at the audition.
“Give me that.” This man who was silent the whole time had finally spoken, his voice as magnetic as ever.
Jiang Zhe realized the noise from his phone had disturbed his boss who was resting, and said with a terrified look, “I’m sorry……”
“Give it to me.” Nan Chen repeated those words again.
Jiang Zhe handed the phone over.
In the video, there was sadness in Ning Ran’s eyes while an aura of silent sorrow surrounded her body.
Even when reviewing her video, the effects of her captivating performance could still be felt.
Nan Chen felt as if he could smell that faint scent of orange-blossom again.
It was a shame that this actress was one who would resort to underhanded means in order to achieve her goals. She would even sleep with someone just to get the role. What a shame.
As Nan Chen thought about it, he felt a rising sense of irritability.
He rolled down the window and tossed the phone out.
“My phone!” Jiang Zhe cried out in shock.
Then, he noticed the ice-cold look on his boss’ face, and instantly cowered up, “Never mind, I’ll just get a new phone… It’s fine, it’s fine……”
