Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 100 Confrontation With Yang Baihua (1)

Ran Xueyi had just stepped out of the audition room when she saw Ran Yue standing next to the door. She didn't show her surprise on her face as she closed the door behind her. And as if Ran Yue was nothing but polluted air to her, Ran Xueyi didn't even glance in her way and walked forward.

But a hand grabbed her arm. It was Ran Yue who had her hand on her elbow. Ran Xueyi slowly sighed and glanced at her.

"What is it?"

Ran Yue felt uncomfortable being stared at by those emotionless eyes, but she still forced her lips to open and said, "Ran Xueyi... I know you know what happened over these years. But think about it. Isn't this the best way for everyone to live? Just give up and apologize to mom and dad. They will surely let you forgive you for as long as you act as if nothing happened and you know nothing. Just act like you always have been doing. It's best for you to give up entering the industry too."

Ran Xueyi blankly stared at her younger sister. If others were to hear her words, people might think that what a caring sister she was; even trying to look after her older sister. But no... Ran Xueyi knew exactly what Ran Yue was thinking.

Because she successfully changed the audition scene, Ran Yue must have been feeling gleeful and was already thinking that Ran Xueyi failed her audition. With too little time to prepare and too abrupt a change in her scene that happened fright in front of the director and producers, no actress or even actor could react immediately and act the scene that wasn't supposed to be theirs in the first place.

Thus, Ran Yue thought that Ran Xueyi humiliated herself in front of everyone inside the room. Thus, she decided to show her sister a path to return to the hell she was trying to escape from.

However, Ran Yue didn't know that Ran Xueyi did not only act out the scene that was abruptly pushed into her plate. She also successfully impressed everyone inside the room and even made the stoic Director Zheng praise her in front of everyone.

But Ran Xueyi wasn't obligated to explain that to her.

"Ran Yue, let me ask you. If you were forced into a play where you must play as a fool who would make everyone around you laugh at whatever you do, would you do it? Would you continue acting like a clown jumping around as everyone played you? If you can still do that even after finding out that you're that helpless and clueless clown... Then, I must applaud for your sacrifice..." Ran Xueyi smiled as she pulled her elbow out of Ran Yue's reach, "But I'm not you. I do not let any debt unpaid... And I will remember everything that you all did to me."

Ran Yue didn't get to respond to that as Ran Xueyi already turned her back and walked to her seat before taking her things. After talking to the staff member inside the waiting room, Ran Xueyi came out of the audition site and was about to leave the building through the emergency exit stairs beside the elevator when Yang Baihua suddenly appeared in front of her.

What was he still doing here? Wasn't he thrown outside by the security? Ran Xueyi wondered, but realized that Yang Baihua must have had some connection from the building who let him in. He also must have been waiting for her to come out and followed her to the emergency exit stairs.

"Are you done fooling around?" Yang Baihua's voice was harsh and loud, echoing through the narrow and empty space of the emergency stairs.

Ran Xueyi stopped and raised her eyebrow. "Fooling around?"

"Yes!" Yang Baihua walked towards her. "Do you think it's fun making me run around and chase after you? How dare you even call the security and let them throw your fiance out!"

"Do you think you own the world, Yang Baihua?" Ran Xueyi sniped at him with a question. "As soon as you enter a place, you think everyone should bow to you and call you 'Your Majesty?', or did you expect that no matter what you did wrong, everyone will be an angel and forgive you?"

Yang Baihua calmed himself down and sighed. "Ran Xueyi, why are you making things even messier and complicated? There's really nothing going on between me and Song Qian. You can't believe other people's words without confirming things with me! I am your fiance, you should have more faith and trust in me."

Ran Xueyi laughed. "I never said anything about Song Qian. But time and time again, you would utter her name in our fight. Who would ever believe you if you keep calling her name in front of me? In the first place, I never suspected you having an affair with Song Qian... but you already assumed I was suspecting you of cheating on me with her. Yang Baihua... have you really thought things through thoroughly before coming here?"

In the past, whenever Ran Xueyi had a fight with Yang Baihua, it was always her who would first take initiative and apologize to him. During that time, Yang Baihua must have been feeling proud and happy that someone like Ran Xueyi, a popular and award-winning actress would lower her head and beg for his affection while he was cheating with another woman.

Yang Baihua realized where he went wrong and tried to act innocent, trying to get pity from her. "It's not like that. It's just that there are too many rumors going around about me and my secretary that even you would have already heard about it. Look, I even lost a capable secretary and fired her in order to please you... Won't you at least understand me?"

Understand him? Ran Xueyi almost laughed out loud.

"Be a little bit sensible, Ran Xueyi... After all, we're soon going to be husband and wife," Yang Baihua gently said as he approached her and put his hands on her shoulder.

Ran Xueyi, however, stepped back, and did not give him any chance to touch her. No matter what, she was already married to Song Yu Han, and the thought of being touched by Yang Baihua disgusted her intensely.

Yang Baihua stared at her, slightly confused and dazed as his hand touched the air.

"Don't look at me like that, Yang Baihua." Ran Xueyi said, crossing her hands in front of her chest. "There will be no wedding between the two of us."
