Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
His knitted brows finally relaxed.
s.h.i.+ Jin placed a finger on his lips. “You won’t be handsome when you’re angry.”
The fragrance from her fingers entered Fu Xiuyuan’s nose. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his earlier anger had dissipated. He opened his mouth and bit her finger.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll give you the drug that I gave Hu Guangquan?” s.h.i.+ Jin’s eyes were like flowers as she challenged him.
“I dare you!” Fu Xiuyuan clenched his teeth tightly, biting her finger.

Liu Ning arranged to meet Su Ying again.
s.h.i.+ Jin arrived on time as well.
In the private room, Su Ying felt a little strange when she saw s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin explained, “My dad and Producer Liu are friends.”
Only after she recalled this relations.h.i.+p did Su Ying relax her expression.
Su Ying wasn’t a typical beauty, but she had a lazy charm to her. Her long curly hair reached her shoulders, and she was the kind of beauty that had a special atmosphere around them. However, she was really valiant when she moved. She did not have the face shape of a typical beauty. When she brushed back her long hair, she had a hint of fierceness.
There were too many beautiful people in the entertainment industry these days, but it was hard to differentiate between them. So in the eyes of many directors and audience members, Su Ying had a very iconic movie face.
Liu Ning smiled and said, “Su Ying, we had a good talk before, but you didn’t sign the contract. Even s.h.i.+ Jin was curious and wanted to talk to you to see if there were any topics that could only be discussed between girls.”
“Yes, we can have a chat.”
Su Ying took out a cigarette. “Do you mind if I smoke?”
“Up to you,” s.h.i.+ Jin said.
Liu Ning stood up and opened a window.
Su Ying took a glance at s.h.i.+ Jin. There was a pleasant scent on her, unlike any perfume or skincare products.
She thought for a moment and didn’t light the cigarette. “It’s a personal matter of mine that made me unable to accept the role,” she said flatly.
“As far as I know, you have nothing else to do recently,” s.h.i.+ Jin said.
She had also heard that Su Ying had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and was very capable. She wasn’t someone the Wen family could bribe easily.
Su Ying shook her head. “I just don’t want to take the role anymore. I’m really sorry about this. So, I’m here today mainly to apologize to all of you. Nothing else.”
Liu Ning shrugged and glanced at s.h.i.+ Jin.
This was Su Ying’s att.i.tude before, and it was still the same now.
The manager did not give a definite answer either.
“I’ll owe you guys,” Su Ying said. “It’s my fault.”
With that, she stood up and was about to leave mercilessly.
“Su Ying,” s.h.i.+ Jin called out to her. She turned to Liu Ning and said, “Producer Liu, please get me a cola.”
Liu Ning glanced at her, stood up, and left.
He closed the door behind him.
s.h.i.+ Jin pa.s.sed Su Ying a bottle of something. “Take it and use it. Come find me when you’re better.”
“What?” Su Ying looked at the thing and hesitated, not reaching out her hand.
“I’ve gone through your social media. You have canities. You’ve always been dyeing your hair, right?”
Su Ying’s hair was especially thick, making people envious. However, only a few people close to her knew about her canities. Her hair was mottled with strands of white, and she couldn’t go out in public without dyeing it.
She had only shared the fact that she had white hair once, and it was a long time ago. She didn’t say much about it either. However, people nowadays have the issue of balding and growing white hair, so fans thought that she was just teasing them. The public didn’t know how much white hair she had.
“What is this?” Su Ying asked.
“It’s for your allergies. You’ve been having an allergic reaction recently, so you don’t dare to continue dyeing your hair.” s.h.i.+ Jin pointed at the area beside her earlobe.
Su Ying had put on heavy makeup today to cover up the allergy to her skin, but the area under her earlobe was missed.
The doctor said that she would not be able to put on makeup for a long time and needed to rest. She had to recover from her allergies first.
As for the canities problem, it couldn’t be solved, and she could only rely on dyeing her hair.
All the products on the market that could turn white hair into black were all frauds. Modern science and technology still could not solve all problems.
“We’ll talk about the white hair after the allergy is dealt with,” s.h.i.+ Jin said calmly.
Su Ying tugged at the cloak on her shoulders.
She really wanted to take on this film. A film with Liu Ning as the producer was bound to be a hit. However, it was precisely because of her allergies that she had to reject the movie.
The reason why she did not mention her allergies was because she still had two endors.e.m.e.nts for skincare products, one of which was a product meant for sensitive skin.
If word of this got out, she would not be able to renew her endors.e.m.e.nt contract next year.
She did not expect that s.h.i.+ Jin would be so observant to notice this.
She reached out to take it and said with a bitter smile, “My allergy is a little serious. I don’t know how long it’ll take for me to recover. I don’t want to delay you.”
“We’ll give you three more days. Give me an answer in three days.”
Su Ying looked down at the item in her hand and said, “Alright, I’ll consider it for another three days.”
She packed the vial into her bag and returned to her car.
She took out her mirror and sighed. The burning sensation on her face intensified. Her makeup was still too heavy today.
She hurriedly grabbed her things and went to the bathroom to remove her makeup.
After she was done, she washed her face and ran her fingers through her long hair.
She could not dye her hair recently. She was wearing a wig on the top of her head, so naturally, there was trouble everywhere. All her activities for the past few days had been postponed.
She had been famous for a long time and had gathered all kinds of good luck. Although she was not born with a typically beautiful face, she was considered an exotic beauty and was recognized by everyone.
The only flaws were her hair and her sensitive skin. When these two were added together, it was even worse.
Liu Ning came back after grabbing the cola. Seeing that Su Ying had left, he reached out and handed it to s.h.i.+ Jin. “Where is she?”
“She went back. I said I’ll give her three more days.”
“I’m afraid it will be difficult.” Liu Ning vaguely guessed the situation.
However, as someone in the industry, he didn’t talk about other people’s secrets.
Since there was indeed a situation with Su Ying, he could only settle for someone else.
s.h.i.+ Jin said, “Let’s take a look first. It’s okay if it doesn’t work out.”
With that, she walked out and got into her nanny van.
Yao Jiahong reminded, “Tomorrow, you have to report to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
“You arrange it.”
“After you finish at the University, there is a simple interview arranged by the Shen Group.”
s.h.i.+ Jin nodded.
“Next up is the semi-finals of the Ivy League Composition Compet.i.tion.”
s.h.i.+ Jin received a WeChat message from Du Xian. “Little ancestor, are you going to report to the University tomorrow? Are you ready? Is there anything I can do?”
