Throughout her life, Xu Qingwan had never experienced any wind and storm. [T/N: wind and storm – adverse circ.u.mstances or problems]
In her previous life, she met Ji Lin as soon as she debuted through the talent show. At that time, Ji Lin was the king of superstars in the entertainment circle. With Ji Lin"s protection, Xu Qingwan"s road to stardom was smooth sailing and within a few years, she became an list actress. Although Ji Lin"s fans weren"t thinking highly of the relationship and there was always someone who would attack her, all of these trials and hardships were blocked by Ji Lin. Xu Qingwan just needed to obediently stay in Ji Lin"s embrace and allow him to dote and protect her.
What really made Xu Qingwan scared was Ji Lin"s half-sister, Zhou Siyu. She was a madwoman. She just wanted to drag the entire Ji family to h.e.l.l. Since Xu Qingwan was genuinely Ji Lin"s girlfriend, so she [ZSY] naturally wouldn"t let her [XQW] off. For this reason, Zhou Siyu was willing to do anything, she was even willing to sell herself to climb up, all just to thoroughly beat down her enemy.
Because of Ji Lin"s guilt towards her sister, Zhou Siyu had almost succeeded several times.
The reckless and insane zeal she displayed really frightened Xu Qingwan. Even if she lived another life again, Xu Qingwan couldn"t easily shake off the deeply rooted fear embedded in her bones. When she saw Zhou Siyu"s familiar pale face, it was as if she saw a ghost. She was so scared that she was only thinking of how to quickly get away.
But unfortunately, in this lifetime, Ji Lin was both neither familiar nor distant towards her. She had no one"s embrace to hide into.
"Zhou Siyu, you shouldn"t be here…" Xu Qingwan"s trembling finger pointed at the bewildered Siyu. Her voice was loud enough that the other people in the shop all turned towards them. However, Xu Qingwan was entirely unaware of this and just continued to stare at Siyu.
Siyu was baffled. She had never seen this girl before, however, the girl seemed to know her. Could she be an old acquaintance of the original owner"s body? With this thought in tow, she asked politely, "Excuse me, you are…?"
Xu Qingwan choked as she realized that she had overreacted. Yes, at present, both Zhou Siyu and her were just strangers. Why should she be afraid?
However, Xu Qingwan still felt uneasy. It was already clear that she had cut off a great opportunity for Siyu. Yet, Xu Qingwan still felt that it wasn"t enough. As long as Siyu was still able to appear in public, she would feel that what she had done wasn"t ruthless enough.
While gritting her teeth, she justified that she was only taking precautions. At any rate, this vicious woman would sooner or later show her true colors and deal with her. "It is only natural that the one who strikes first would prevail! This is to protect herself and Ji Lin! "
With this thought in mind, Xu Qingwan slowly adjusted her breath and turned her eyes away from Siyu, she said, "Sorry, I-I met you once before. You may not remember me, so I won"t disturb you any longer."
"Wait a moment, you…" Siyu, upon seeing that Xu Qingwan was trying to cover up something, started to be a little skeptical. She reached out her hand to catch her as she [ZSY] wanted to make her [XQW] speak clearly. However, who expected that with just a gesture of raising her hand, Xu Qingwan immediately shouted "Don"t touch me!", as she flicked Siyu"s hand away before turning around and run.
"Hiss——" Siyu winced back in pain. As she looked down, she saw an obvious red mark on the back of her white hand.
Her skin was very sensitive. Just a little knock would be enough to leave a mark. During the previous car accident, her back had hit the railing. Even today, the blue and purple bruises on her back hadn"t disappeared yet. Just now, Xu Qingwan didn"t restrain her strength at all. So, at this moment, the back of her hand was burning with pain.
"Siyu, what"s going on? I just heard a ruckus from here….. What happened to your hand?!" Yu Ling just went out for a moment to pay the bill at the cashier. When she came back, she was surprised to see that Siyu was rubbing her hand with a frown on her face.
Siyu made a wry smile. She also didn"t understand what that girl meant with her words. When that girl saw her just now, she was like a cat seeing a mouse. "It"s nothing. I only had a bit of conflict with someone just now, that person had already left."
Yu Ling hastily took her to a nearby pharmacy. She bought an ointment and helped her apply it while scolding Siyu that she shouldn"t just let people go like this. "She ran away after hurting you, that person is definitely not someone good."
Siyu said, "She seemed to know me. However, I really don"t recall her. Maybe we had some bad history in the past…"
Yu Ling snorted in her heart upon hearing this. She obviously thought that Siyu"s temper was too meek, this little angel was so meek and delicate just like a little rabbit. Who could she have a bad history with? Ever since Siyu saved her daughter, Yu Ling would use an eight-layered filter lens whenever she looked at her. After looking left and right, she felt that Siyu was p.r.o.ne to be taken advantage of and hated that she couldn"t carefully safeguard her everywhere. As a result, in Yu Ling"s mind, there was no concept of Siyu bullying others, only other bullying her.
Therefore, Yu Ling did not hesitate to put the blame on Xu Qingwan"s head.
"You don"t need to worry about these troubles. From now on, I"ll help keep an eye open for you. Don"t worry too much." Yu Ling felt somewhat a pity for Siyu when she looked at the red mark on the back of her hand, which was nicely covered with medicine. Such a beautiful hand had been damaged by a red mark. The person who hurt her Siyu was so hateful! "Let"s go, I"ll take you to a stylist. We aren"t done yet". [T/N: We aren"t done yet – the preparation for the Huanyi"s banquet if y"all forget]
Siyu: "…Ling-jie, please let me go…"
On the other side, Xu Qingwan rushed out of the shopping mall and was gradually awakened by the cold wind outside.
She stood blankly for a long time, after a few more moments, as if she had finally made up her mind, she quickly dialed a number on her cell phone. There were several rings at that end before someone picked it up.
"h.e.l.lo, it"s me." Xu Qingwan pursed her lips and whispered, "Didn"t you say before that you could help me get that role in Director Liang"s movie 《Qing Guo》? … Yes, I"ve decided I want to act in that drama. That role mustn"t be given to others!"
Who knew what the other side said that made Xu Qingwan"s expression suddenly turn unsightly? However, she quickly took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can help me get this role, I will listen to you."
Riel: Hmmm… I smell some conspiracies…
