Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Why Don’t We Be Together?
Chapter 77 -77: Why Don’t We Be Together?
What, what?
Director Chen and Su Ran?
Jiang Leyi’s gaze involuntarily shifted onto the two.
Director Chen was drinking with Su Ran, who kept a pure and innocent smile on her face.
If one missed the fervent look in Director Chen’s eyes, it would seem like they were just maintaining a friendly business relationship.
Jiang Leyi felt a panic inside; the first thing she thought about was the web series that hadn’t aired yet!
After all the time she had invested filming, she couldn’t let it all go to waste!
Frustrated by Jiang Leyi’s prolonged silence, Jiang Nanshu appropriately expressed his dissatisfaction, embodying a melodramatic spirit, “Do you think I’m not good enough? Were you just placating me when you said I have the qualifications to mix in the entertainment circle? Or did you deliberately bring me here to embarrass me? How can you be so mean! Let me tell you, without a diamond now, you can’t appease me.”
Jiang Leyi: “…” Isn’t she easy to appease?
Jiang Nanshu turned her head away, giving Jiang Leyi the silent treatment.
Jiang Leyi lowered her voice a bit, coaxing, “I’ll give you one when we go back.”
Jiang Nanshu’s almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she looked at her, “Really? You aren’t lying to me? But you already gave me two today.”
Jiang Leyi’s red lips slightly curled into a smile, and she lightly patted her head, her tone as cold as ever, “Do you think everyone is as fickle as you?”
Jiang Nanshu instinctively looked up at her and then swiftly turned away, her expression a bit uncomfortable, murmuring, “Who allowed you to touch this miss’s head? That costs extra!”
[How strange… She hates being touched by her older brother, why doesn’t she mind her touching her, hmm, can’t let her realize that, need to say something submissive, or else she won’t dislike me anymore.]
The next second, a purple crystal was stuffed into her hand.
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[Wuwuwu, sister, sister, how are you so good? I was about to curse, but you made me swallow my words. How about we stick together! I’ll sleep with the diamonds in bed, and you can have the sofa.]
Jiang Leyi: “…”
Her face icily beautiful, “Can I touch your head now?”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
[One might be killable, but also touchable!]
She pleasingly rubbed her head against Jiang Leyi’s shoulder, grinning, “Go ahead, touch it all you want, I won’t charge you.”
A faint smile appeared in Jiang Leyi’s eyes.
Such a cute little sister, just as adorable as she was three years ago.

This interaction between the two didn’t escape Su Ran’s observation, who was waiting for Jiang Leyi to lose her composure and confront her.
After all, back in the crew, just using her makeup room was enough to incite relentless scolding from her, and this was the behavior from a lady raised by a prestigious family?
Quite frankly, she thought a rural shrew behaved better than her.
It was simply in front of Jiang Leyi that she had called Yuan Feng over and managed to establish a good relationship with Director Chen.
Based on past behavior, Jiang Leyi would have been snide by now.
But today, she hadn’t.
Instead, she was portraying deep sisterly affection with Jiang Nanshu.
As if anyone was buying their act!
Moreover, she had heard from Cheng An.
Regarding the real and fake Jiang Family’s daughters’ affair, it might be unknown to others, but not to her. She still had some moral sense, not wanting to attack Jiang Leyi with this, but if Jiang Leyi made things difficult for her again, she wouldn’t mind revealing it to everyone.
Su Ran had never been a saint. The environment in which she had grown up had taught her to grasp opportunities herself; missing them could lead to drastic changes in her life.
So, three years ago, she decisively left for abroad, and she did not regret her decision.
She also didn’t want to become a dodder flower that could only survive by clinging to Lu Qingyan, especially since… at that time, there was someone who needed her more than Lu Qingyan did.
Thinking of this…
Su Ran shook these memories out of her mind. It was all in the past…
Director Chen clinked glasses with her, “Xiao Ran, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed. By the way, you know there’s a medical check-up next week, right?”
Su Ran avoided getting too close to Director Chen and nodded, “I’ve already heard from Teacher Yuan, and I’ve arranged to go with him.”
Director Chen looked somewhat regretful, “We were supposed to go together. I also have a historical drama in hand, and the female lead is yet to be decided. Do you want to talk about it?”
He threw out the bait, “This historical drama isn’t a web series anymore. It has big boss investment behind it. If performed well, getting famous won’t be an issue.”
Su Ran was somewhat tempted.
She had some fame in the country, but it was niche. Although more well-known than Jiang Leyi, it wasn’t much better.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t go to bars so often without paparazzi camping out for her.
Because she wasn’t famous, stalking her was just a waste of time.
She had briefly become popular a while ago, and it was because of Lu Qingyan.
The well-known Lu Family Crown Prince, but that trending topic only lasted half an hour before it disappeared without trace.
Originally, she didn’t want to use Lu Qingyan, but that vile woman had claimed she was the other woman. There were so many people present at the time, and she cherished her reputation; she had done nothing wrong and still had to be slandered like that.
So, her agent came up with a plan to borrow Lu Qingyan’s influence to clear the rumors that she was the other woman.
After all, with gold as a predecessor, who would remember the dregs that followed?
She and Lu Qingyan didn’t have many photos together. She kept them all locked in a secret folder, and it was one of those photos that she provided to her agent to secretly release.
She couldn’t help a bitter smile, her memory hazily going back to three years ago. The then youthful and fresh-faced Lu Qingyan had chased her all the way to the airport.
He had grabbed the check from her, telling her that he would find a way to give her what she wanted, that he would fulfill the promises he had made. If it was about his family’s threat, he could even leave the Lu Family.
Would Lu Qingyan, who had left the Lu Family, still be the prestigious Lu Qingyan?
Sweat had dripped down his handsome cheeks onto the ground as his chest heaved from running.
The young and fresh-faced Lu Qingyan of that time was different from the cold and composed Lu Qingyan of today.
Su Ran couldn’t help but think, Lu Qingyan must have liked her, right?
But afterward, she snatched the check and coldly stated that what she wanted, he couldn’t give. She told him not to contact her anymore.
Until she boarded the plane, he hadn’t shown up again.
Back then, she had secretly hoped that he would catch up to her to prove his love.
But he didn’t.
He truly disappeared from her world, just as she had said, never contacting her once.
Director Chen noticed Su Ran spacing out and was somewhat dissatisfied.
He was speaking to her, and yet she was thinking of someone else?
“Xiao Ran? What do you think? Are you interested? I won’t look for actresses with low fame for my drama. I am giving you an audition opportunity because I see your hard work!”
Hearing Director Chen’s voice, Su Ran came back to her senses, her face apologetic, “I apologize, Director Chen. I’ve been quite tired lately, and I have to report to Jing University tomorrow. My mind just didn’t make the connection.”
She gritted her teeth, “Director Chen, please give me a chance to audition. I promise I won’t disappoint you. I will perform well.”
Director Chen then smiled satisfyingly, “Fair enough. We can discuss this matter privately. It’s not suitable to talk about it here. I’ll message you later.”
