Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 88 The Aftermath

A day after what happened at the filming site, Ran Xueyi finally heard about it when she came across Meng Cheng and Jiang Ping in the lobby. The two of them were dragging their suitcases with their assistants.

Meng Chen was fuming as she stomped her feet on the tiled floor of the lobby, "I swear when I see her next time, I will make her eat dirt!"

Ran Xueyi laughed, "Sister Meng, I didn't know you have this wild side inside you."

"Wild side? Ran Xueyi, are you saying I am so amazing?" Meng Chen giggled.

"Yes, you're right. You're really amazing. I think I'm falling in love with your wild side!" Ran Xueyi went along with the other's words.

Meng Chen winked, "Then, I must let you see how wild I can be!"

Meng Chen hopped and hugged Ran Xueyi, the two of them giggled and laughed until a cough took their attention.

"Ahem, I think you're forgetting my presence here a bit too much," Jiang Ping stared at the two beautiful ladies.

"It's only because Brother Jiang is too straight and cool that we thought you merged with the walls behind you," Meng Chen teased.

Jiang Ping was a tall man, almost around 6ft and 5 inches. Compared to two girls who were a head or two shorter than him, describing him as a wall or a statue was really not wrong.

Being teased again by Meng Chen, Jiang Ping sighed and shook his head. He then raised his head and looked at Ran Xueyi. He said to her, "It was really fortunate that you left the cast. If you didn't, I don't know what Qin Ling would do once she saw you."

"That's right... I also don't know what I would do if I saw her," Ran Xueyi said with a deeper meaning.

If Qin Ling went against her and did what she did to Manager Zhao to her, Ran Xueyi really didn't know what she'll do to the young actress. But one thing was for sure, Qin Ling would quit the industry as soon as Ran Xueyi was done with her.

Though she did not do anything to retaliate to Qin Ling, Ran Xueyi was still satisfied with what happened to her. She didn't even lift a hand yet the other was already struggling to survive.

Noticing that Ran Xueyi had gone silent, Meng Chen was worried that Ran Xueyi must have been still affected by being forced to leave the movie. She hugged her tighter and consoled her, "Ran Xueyi, don't feel too sad that you were forced to leave the movie. Look what happened, ever since you left, the shooting hasn't been going well and every director couldn't wait to finish the filming and leave! All that was because of Qin Ling!"

What Meng Chen said wasn't all a lie... Ever since Qin Ling arrived at the filming studio, things weren't going very well. It was as if a colossal bad luck had struck the movie, making the studio such a gloomy and uncomfortable place to work at.

Jiang Ping also thought that he had misspoken and quickly said, "That's right... Besides, I think Qin Ling will be kicked out of the movie too."

"She is?" Ran Xueyi was shocked.

Jiang Ping and Meng Chen nodded.

Jiang Ping then explained: "Yes, she is... The directors started to protest against the studio that purchased the movie franchise and said they will quit and let other directors handle the rest of the movie. They could no longer take the pressure of the investors who keep on pushing actors and actresses to have a role in the movie, saying that the movie was already ruined before it even started--"

Jiang Ping just finished speaking when Meng Chen continued for him, "Simply put, they don't want Qin Ling in the movie!"

Ran Xueyi looked at her and said, "But didn't her father invest money in the movie?"

President Qin invested twice in the movie. First was before Ran Xueyi was considered to play Qin Ling's role, and the second was when Qin Ling's name was erased from the cast and Ran Xueyi already assumed the second lead role.

Meng Chen smiled even wider and clapped her hands. "He did! But it was all useless anyway since he pulled out soon after it was proven that Qin Ling broke the hairpin. And when he found out the money he had to pay for the broken hairpin, he almost collapsed in front of everyone!"

Ran Xueyi was infected by Meng Chen's smile and what she said about President Qin was really funny, she smiled and showed her dimples that only appeared when she smiles. She didn't think that President Qin was present that day so it made her happier.

Meng Chen and Jiang Ping were stunned at Ran Xueyi's beauty. They now realized that she had an outstanding and unique beauty that could topple any actress in the entertainment industry, who solely depended on their faces.

...

After separating from the two, Ran Xueyi entered the elevator for the VVIPs and it smoothly climbed up to her floor. When she entered the suite, she saw it was empty and thought that Song Yu Han must have gone out to go to his company. She walked to the living room, throwing her coat on the sofa and sat down.

The silence inside the suit seemed to creep her out so she reached for the remote control to use the television's noise to break it. And as she reached her hand on the black remote control, her hand paused mid air and instead went to the opposite side of the remote control.

There was a stack of papers on the coffee table, just opposite the remote control.

And when Ran Xueyi examined them, she realized that it was all contracts for a movie or a drama series, and all of them were either an A-list or a superior S-list movie and drama series directed by well-known directors.

Earlier in the lobby, Meng Chen asked her if she wanted to join the movie again. This time, the directors banded together, excluding Director Zhao who was fired, to invite Ran Xueyi back to the movie.

At that time, what did Ran Xueyi answer?

"Sorry, but I already have something else to work on."

Meng Chen was sad by the news and reluctantly left the hotel. By the way, Ran Xueyi also found out that the whole crew and cast of the movie was evicted from the hotel for violating a rule. A crew member brought a forbidden substance inside the hotel. The hotel quickly acted and refunded them their money and canceled their reservation.

But Ran Xueyi knew that aside from the crew member who really did violate the regulations inside the hotel, it was her husband who made them leave. After all, it was impossible to impose the consequences of violating a regulation of the hotel to everyone when only one person did the act.

Anyway, Ran Xueyi was still happy that they left.

Looking at the contracts before her, Ran Xueyi smiled, her adorable dimples appeared again. She looked like an angel staring down at an interesting thing in her hand.

What Ran Xueyi said earlier to Meng Chen about working on something already was a big fat lie. She really didn't have anything since she was aiming for this movie as her rebirth in the industry. Now that it slipped away, she was looking for other resources she could use.

But there seems to be no need to do that...

Song Yu Han already gave her a way to get a more dazzling rebirth. Looking at the contracts, Ran Xueyi laughed. There's really no need to refuse her husband's blessings.

Yan He Conglomerate. Song Yu Han was sitting in his office, looking at his wristwatch, and assumed that Ran Xueyi had already gone back to the suite and saw the contracts he left there. Honestly, he didn't want to do this since Ran Xueyi told him that she would handle her journey to become a top actress again. However, he couldn't turn a blind eye when he saw how sorrowful she looked earlier.

And so, he ordered somebody to gather every contract they could gather, adding that these contracts should be the best amongst others.

A knock sounded in his office. Song Yu Han's assistant entered. "Mr. Valentino has already arrived in the country. Are you going to meet him in the airport, president?"

Song Yu Han looked up and replied, "No, you can lead him to the Chinese restaurant where we are supposed to meet."

"Yes, president."

Mr. Valentino was a widely known Designer of a famous fashion brand and also the CEO of that brand company. He had always wanted to visit the country and collaborate with Yan He for a new fashion product he has been planning. But Song Yu Han was so busy and out of reach that their collaboration was rescheduled every time.

Now, the two will meet for the big event.
