Seeing that Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen were looking at each other with unabashed gazes, Shen Weiyin felt as if her smiling mask was going to crack.
She remembered that back when she told Lu Beichuan that she was going to join the entertainment industry, he had only responded with an indifferent “en.” He never tried to persuade her to change her mind by saying the words he was telling Ye Zhen.
The Shen’s weren’t an ordinary family. As her parents’ only daughter, Shen Weiyin was the apple of everyone’s eye. From childhood to adulthood, she was proactively cared for and lived life without worries. Shen Weiyin was basically a pampered little princess.
A princess would have a princess’s temper. When she liked something, she wouldn’t easily admit that she liked it. It was because even as a child she knew that if she wanted something, she only needed to linger her gaze over it and someone would offer it to her.
She had thought Lu Beichuan would be the same.
She and Lu Beichuan had been college classmates. Back then, everyone thought they were a match made in heaven. There was no one that could be a more suitable partner.
She had always thought Lu Beichuan liked her too. Her bone-deep pride didn’t allow her to say she liked him, but she would always look at him.
She believed that Lu Beichuan knew her feelings for him. In time, he would definitely take the initiative to confess his feelings for her.
However, she waited in vain for all four years of college. Even on their graduation date, Lu Beichuan still hadn’t said he liked her.
At that time, she had thought he was busy from taking on the burden of being in charge of the Lu’s. Once the dust had settled, he would no longer hold back his feelings.
She thought that Lu Beichuan knew she had feelings for him. A member of the Lu’s had even made undisguised jokes about them. At that time, she had thought Lu Beichuan’s silence was the same as agreeing. But now, she realized those jokes had simply been beneath his notice.
She had waited so long for him, but all she got in return was the news that Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen had gotten married.
In ancient times, King Xiang had dreamed of the immortal celestial of Wushan, but she wasn’t interested. Now, the immortal celestial was interested, but the King Xiang didn’t dream of her.
If she had taken the initiative back then to confess, perhaps their ending today would be different.
The blue veins on the back of her hand could clearly be seen as she tightening her grip around the wine glass. Shen Weiyin’s expression appeared calm as she put down the wine glass. Placing one hand over the other, she hid the jealousy that was bursting out of her heart.
Ye Qing had been quietly listening to this conversation from the side and could naturally figure out the unspoken implication in Shen Weiyin’s words. This woman, who was praised by countless people as a goddess, wasn’t actually better than the average person. She was just an ordinary mortal woman that would feel jealous too.
At most, she had above average looks, could hide her feelings and thoughts, and restrain herself better than the average person.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing felt a twisted joy strangely rising in her heart.
“Weiyin, you’re optimistic about my younger sister’s future in the entertainment circle. What do you think about me then?”
Ye Qing and Ye Zhen were identical twins. Even their voices sounded similar. If Shen Weiyin truly thought Ye Zhen would be able to do well in the entertainment industry, Ye Qing believed she would be able to succeed too.
She expectantly looked at Shen Weiyin and hoped to get the answer that she wanted from her.
Shen Weiyin had only said those words to test Ye Zhen’s reaction. If Ye Zhen wanted to enter the entertainment industry, with the Lu’s backing her, she would easily be able to do so.
But what did Ye Qing have?
It wouldn’t be good to make Ye Qing lose face in front of everyone, so Shen Weiyin said, “Of course, there would be no problem.”
“Really?” Ye Qing thought she wasn’t any worse than those stars behind the camera lens. She wanted to experience the feeling of being that moon that everyone adored and worshipped. This was her second life, and she remembered very well what had happened in the entertainment industry in her previous life.
It was only the entertainment industry.
Her father’s words that day were right. Why should she cling to Lu Beichuan? As long as she could break into the entertainment industry, she would have her choice of men to choose from.
Ye Qing was full of expectations. She could practically see herself in her bright and starry future.
In contrast, Ye Zhen wasn’t interested at all. Resting her head on Lu Beichuan’s shoulder, she lowered her voice and said, “What so good about being an actress? Mr. Lu, I’ll earn a lot of money for you, okay?”
