Chapter 269 - Return Of The Queen (2)
When Tang Liyan left her office, Su Xiaofei released a breath she didn't know she was holding and leaned on her seat. She then checked the monitor of her computer, seeing the date on the top right of it, only to be reminded of how long it had been since Lu Qingfeng left.
"It's already been five years, hasn't it?" She asked Zhang Lan, who was busy helping her sister organize the documents Su Xiaofei had already finished reviewing.
"Yes, Miss Su." Zhang Lan replied, knowing what their young miss was implying. Su Xiaofei had this gentle look on her face whenever she was thinking of that special someone.
"Then, do you think he will be back soon?" Su Xiaofei asked again. She couldn't believe that five years had already passed. For the past years, she focused on her studies and work, so that she would barely have any time to relax and miss him too much.
Zhang Ling smiled at her sister, giving her a knowing look, while Zhang Lan tried not to roll her eyes. How can Zhang Lan not know what her sister was thinking?
"I'm sorry, Miss. Master hasn't informed us anything about his plans yet." Zhang Lan replied.
As for Lu Qingfeng, although their communication over the years was constant, Su Xiaofei still couldn't help but miss him. She could only feel at ease whenever she was with him, yet she didn't want to indulge herself and rely on him too much.
Over the past five years, she had only seen him three times in person since his departure.
The first was when he visited her out-of-the-blue while she was in second year at the university she was attending. His sudden appearance had attracted a lot of attention from her schoolmates, which led to rumors about her.
The second was during her graduation. Su Xiaofei wasn't expecting him to come, since he was also on a strict schedule at the time. But Lu Qingfeng managed to fly from Shenjing to Guangshang just to see her graduate.
The last one was over a year ago when she was promoted to become the managing director of Bluemedia. The Zhang sisters drove her to a five-star hotel, and she was greeted by Lu Qingfeng, who was holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers to congratulate her.
Su Xiaofei knew that it was hard for Lu Qingfeng to spare his time to spend with her, but nevertheless, she was thankful for his efforts to show that he still cared about her despite their situation.
However, no matter how many years had passed, her hatred towards those people who ruined her in her previous life remained the same. How can she forget when she was being tormented by her memories late at night?
At night, since Lu Qingfeng left, Su Xiaofei was constantly plagued by her nightmares as her previous life flashed before her eyes. The more she tried to make peace with her resentment to lead a happier life with everyone, the more her nightmares became persistent.
Su Xiaofei was left distraught because of it for a long time, which even made her bodyguards, as well as Yun Qingrong and Xi Qian, worry about her. She didn't have any appetite to eat for days and fell silent, not saying anything regarding what was bothering her. It was only when Lu Qingfeng said he would be returning did she snap out of it and return to her normal self.
Still, Su Xiaofei knew that her nightmares were a constant reminder of her past. It was as if someone was telling her not to forget her grudge towards those people who harmed her. And so, Su Xiaofei continued with her plans and obstructed Mo Yuchen and Bai Qingyue in every possible way she could.
With Ye Mingyu still not back from abroad, she could only wait until she could deliver hell to Ye Mingyu's front door. There was no need for her to rush, because Ye Mingyu would surely return one of these days.
She was able to snatch the best actress award for television right from her birth mother's hand and give it to Tang Liyan a year after the release of "The Poisonous Concubine". With the initial promotion of the series being limited, the mystery about the actress portraying the female lead had piqued the interest of the public.
It was only when the official trailer of the TV drama was released a week before its premiere day did they find out about the return of the former queen, Tang Liyan, to the limelight. Golden Star had started promoting Bai Qingyue's TV drama a long time ago, so people were already aware of what to expect from Bai Qingyue.
However, for Tang Liyan who hadn't been seen in any TV series or films for the past seven years, many were waiting in anticipation to see whether she was still able to act or if she had already lost touch with her craft.
Bluemedia released limited information about the TV drama and although it was made known that Tang Liyan had officially signed under the same company, there weren't any interviews conducted to confirm her comeback.
While Bai Qingyue's historical drama was star-studded and was based on a popular novel, Tang Liyan's performance in 'The Poisonous Concubine' managed to steal the limelight, giving Bluemedia an edge against Golden Star Entertainment.
Both TV dramas were released at the same time, garnering high ratings from their audience. However, the second episode proved to be the critical point for both series and "The Poisonous Concubine"'s rating soared in comparison to Bai Qingyue's TV drama, much to Golden Star's shock.
Mo Yuchen's team didn't anticipate that Bluemedia would be able to beat them at their own game, as this wasn't the first time for Golden Star to produce such a series with the same quality.
For the next few days, the first TV drama released by Bluemedia had been a great success, which also relaunched Tang Liyan's name to popularity.
