Chapter 655: You Are Just Picking Up The Things That I Do Not Want
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che clenched her hands. She was typing on her phone until her fingers hurt. She thought to herself, I will not let you off, Gu Jingze. Just watch out when I return!
Thinking that Gu Jingze was preoccupied with searching for Gu Jingming, he must be worried sick and feeling more desperate than her. Because of Gu Jingming, she decided to let him off for once until everything was settled. Then, she would confront him about this, hmph.
Seeing how Lin Che’s expression changed at once, the people around her shot her puzzled looks.
“Sister Lin Che… What happened to you?”
When Lin Che snapped out of it, she looked at these people in front of her all watching her in confusion. Some stared at her blankly while others seemed shocked.
Lin Che had forgotten that they were still around.
Quickly retracting the angry expression on her face, she laughed dryly and said, “Oh, nothing. Erm… I am going out to take a breather.”
“Ah, Sister Lin Che, I will go with you.” They followed her quickly, worried that she might be taking things too hard on herself.
If something happened to Lin Che, they would not be able to answer for it. Therefore, they could not let her wander off on her own.
Soon, they were out.
The hotel lobby was playing soothing music in the background, Lin Che took a deep breath. Despite dressing casually in a white chiffon outfit with a beige coat, she continued to gain attention while standing there with both hands in her pockets. Her beauty and elegance were so extraordinary that even when they came to a place with different beauty standards, she was still turning heads.
“Lin Che.” There came a voice from behind. It belonged to someone whom Lin Che prayed hard that she would not see at that moment.
She could not believe that Qin Wanwan was also staying at the same hotel.
She just came back to the hotel, dressed in high heels and culottes, looking very fas.h.i.+onable. Behind her was a big group of staff members. They had most probably just returned from a street photoshoot for some photos to be sent back home.
Qin Wanwan sized up Lin Che and said, “It has been a while. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Looks like the production team has booked the same hotel for both of us.”
Lin Che glanced at Qin Wanwan. “Oh, I heard that you came for an audition. My apologies that you had to make a special trip here.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s only right that I come and help you. After all, we have known each other for such a long time. Now, that you can’t continue the role, I should come quickly. Don’t you think so? Thinking about it, you must be down on your luck. How could you offend Mr. Henry as soon as you came to Hollywood? I suggest you visit the temple to pay your respects and get rid of the bad luck when you return home.”
Lin Che wanted to tell her that it was all due to her own efforts but she simply looked at Qin Wanwan and gave a sweet smile. “Thank you for your advice. In fact, I was the one who let you down. I could not keep this role so later on when you got this role, others might say that you took it away from me or they might say that I didn’t want this role anymore and gave it to you. You became my subst.i.tute. How could I let you be my subst.i.tute?”
Qin Wanwan’s expression darkened upon hearing her words.
Lin Che snorted and walked off.
Her crew was also staring at Qin Wanwan.
Both sides seemed hostile towards each other and the situation seemed tense.
Then, Qin Wanwan called out, “Oh right, I heard Mr. Henry enjoys drinking red wine. Since you have met him already, he would have told you about this right?”
Lin Che turned around.
Qin Wanwan looked at her with an arrogant smile. “Don’t mind me. I just prepared some red wine for Mr. Henry, but I am not sure if I chose the one he liked so I wanted to get your opinion. Miss Mary has invited me to Mr. Henry’s place tomorrow and to show my respect for him, a gift is a must. After all, not everyone gets an opportunity to be invited to Mr. Henry’s place. With such a rare opportunity, I definitely must not mess it up.”
Did she just admit that those were all her doings?
That’s great.
Watching how Qin Wanwan was outrightly trying to provoke and mock her, she thought that it was ridiculous. Shaking her head, she said, “I wish you a smooth-sailing journey ahead while you are here.”
“Thanks, don’t worry. It will be.”
Qin Wanwan watched Lin Che and her crew leave the hotel and snorted.
Sister Lin who came specially with her added, “Look at her dejected look, still trying to put up a pretense in front of others.”
“Forget it. You can’t get through everything with pretense, so let her be. Anyway, she is going to reap her own consequences now. We should try to understand her. After all, this role was hers in the first place, now that it was pa.s.sed on to another person, it’s mine now. She would naturally feel jealous,” she said, her eyes showing no sympathy but were mocking her.
Sister Lin laughed, “Yes, you are right,”
Mary would be especially taking her to Henry’s place tomorrow, proving that Mary was really nice to her. If someone heard it, they would have been so envious.
Although Lin Che was feeling very angry, she continued to remain silent. There was no point in quarreling with Qin Wanwan now. She had indeed taken away the role, but Lin Che could not pick up a fight with her.
—
The next day.
Qin Wanwan had specially dressed up before visiting Henry.
It was a great honor to be able to visit someone’s home in that culture.
She entered a beautiful manor. Sister Lin commented, “The manors here are very impressive. Those who live here are either Hollywood superstars or very wealthy people. It’s not too far from Hollywood and there are great views here too. Look there! They are all villas. ”
Qin Wanwan was feeling great. She entered the place and saw the wound on Mary’s face. It could be seen clearly and was still in gauze. It seemed like that strike was really a harsh one.
This Lin Che…
Qin Wanwan thought to herself, It was Lin Che who got into trouble. Where did she get the guts to hit Mary with such great force? She thought that they would get into a fight and that was bad enough, but who knew that Lin Che did not even hold back her strength?
Mary told her, “Don’t worry. Henry had already asked the staff from the actors guild to remind them. They are also aware of the consequences of going against Henry. You might not know Henry well, but he is definitely one with great weight in Hollywood.”
Qin Wanwan was very courteous towards Mary, hoping that she would be able to create more chances for herself to meet Henry.
Then, a Filippino servant came in and uttered some words to Mary that Qin Wanwan could not understand.
“That’s great, … someone is here to see you,” Mary said.
Qin Wanwan pointed at herself. “Me?”
“Yes, she heard that you came from C Country, so she wanted to drop by,” Mary replied.
“Oh, who is that?”
“Someone whom you would not regret meeting. She is the young lady of the Wei Group,” said Mary.
“The Wei Group?”
“Yes, once they are listed, their a.s.sets could go up to 50 billion. Their family has been in the industry for many years. They specialize in the oil refinery.”
