Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 50 First Audition

Ran Xueyi both felt happy and sad after speaking to her grandfather. She was filled with happiness that even if everyone in this world were to go against her, her grandparents will still be there for her. Yet, she still couldn't shake off the feeling of sadness deep inside of her.

Her grandparents were no longer young and they both already retired due to their illness. Her grandfather was suffering from stage-two cancer. Although the special doctor they hired for her grandfather told them that the cancerous cell was not malignant and could be treated and not at all deadly, Ran Xueyi still wasn't comforted.

As for her grandmother, Ran Xueyi knew that the old lady would be heartbroken if she found out the truth that she was schemed at by everyone else. Aside from that, her grandmother also suffered from body aches and couldn't go out that much because of it. Thus, the old lady had to stay inside their mansion back in the Xi'an province.

Looking at the time, Ran Xueyi sighed. There were more than thirty minutes before the audition started for the movie <<Great Empress' Love>>.

Since it was rush hour, the traffic was really bad. If she wants to take a role in that movie, she must arrive there five minutes before the actual audition starts, or at least, before the judges and directors arrive.

While waiting for the car in front to go forward, Ran Xueyi calmly reviewed the movie she was about to audition for a role.

The movie title <<The Great Empress' Love>> was adapted from a novel of the same title. It was the story of a young princess who fell in love with a man who was lower of her station. Unfortunately, it wasn't only because of the man's status that made her feel devastated. It was because the man she fell in love with was not anyone else, but her imperial father's head eunuch.

In the novel, the head eunuch was not much older than the princess. He was actually the youngest head eunuch in history and was even respected by the emperor because of his skillful abilities in handling the things the emperor orders.

The story will start when the young princess falls for the eunuch at first sight. Since then, she started to vie for his love, trying to get his attention through frequently visiting her father, the emperor. However, her love would soon be squashed when her own sister wanted to snatch away her first love. The young princess was heartbroken when the eunuch showed his interest in her sister. Out of her spite, she agreed to one of the many proposal her mother empress had forced her to. Thus, her fate should be sealed with her betrothed.

However, things didn't end there because the moment the young princess got married, her family fell through and enemy started to strike. The royal family died and even her sister who was supposed to be living a happy life with the head eunuch didn't have a good ending.

At the end, the princess found that the person who drove her family to hell and made them live a life filled with suffering was none other than the eunuch, who was actually a prince from another kingdom.

Ran Xueyi heard the beep from the car behind her own, and only until then did she notice that the car ahead had already distanced itself a few meters away now. Feeling a bit apologetic for being distracted, Ran Xueyi started her engine.

When she arrived at Starlight TV studio, where the audition would be held, she saw several artists were already waiting outside of the audition room. Most of them were young actors whom she didn't recognize and only saw their faces briefly on television. But she still saw that some of the artists sitting on the side were veterans and artists whom she met when she was still at her peak.

Upon her arrival, the people in the waiting room paused their actions out of curiosity when they heard the door opening. They first thought that it was someone from the production staff who came in and wanted to greet them to earn some points.

But when they turned their head towards the door, the were momentarily blinded. It was probably because the lights outside the waiting room were too bright because they were seeing some kind of halo surrounding the beautiful lady standing at the door.

Feeling everyone's gaze falling on her body, Ran Xueyi felt a bit embarrassed. Being late was never a good thing in the entertainment industry during an audition. It wasn't only because it would mark you look bad in front of the directors and investors and lose a desired role, it was also because once you entered the room, everyone's eyes would instantly fall on you and people would immediately start to judge and evaluate your value as an opponent.

However, instead of feeling scared, Ran Xueyi was elated, excited even.

It was her first time in years to step on the battlefield.

That's right. The audition room was the stage where everyone would fight against others to get the most prized role with their weapon; acting.

Ran Xueyi smiled and greeted some of the people who were nearer to her. She flashed a bright smile at those who were far and nodded her head at them.

Oddly enough, those who thought they saw a formidable opponent when they saw her also nodded their heads and smiled back at her. Their initial thought of antagonizing the newcomer lessened.

As the waiting room was momentarily shaken at Ran Xueyi's arrival before it calmed down, the people behind the closed door of the audition room was definitely not relaxed.

"What?! Are you sure about that?" Director Chi Cheng exclaimed and looked at his assistant, who had just come into the audition room, in disbelief.

The assistant director nodded his head and replied, "I am very sure. Who do you think I am? I was one of her number one fan. How could I possibly not recognize the goddess I was chasing after?

Director Chi still couldn't believe it. "Could it be that Ran Xueyi is really back and wants to start anew? And she'd here to audition in my movie?"

The assistant director was stunned and gasped. "That's right! She's probably here too audition for the female lead role!"

If Ran Xueyi were to play the female lead role, how could things go wrong? With a veteran actress who received the award that everyone wanted, nothing could possibly go wrong, right?

Just after the assistant director said this, Director Chi shook his head. He said, "I don't think so since the female lead role is already taken by someone else."

The assistant director was shocked. He was just away for several minutes and the role was already taken? He quickly asked, "W-who got the female lead role?"

Director Chi replied, "Ran Yue."
