Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Song Ran, Who Are You Trying To Kid?
In her previous life, she had subtly mentioned to Wen Huihui that she wanted to become an actress. But that woman had put a halt to her dreams. Wen Huihui kept instilling in her the idea that all actors and celebrities were low-class performers and that it was a dirty occupation.
Song Ran was proud, and she gave up the idea of becoming a star after hearing what Wen Huihui had to say.
Yet, Wen Huihui was accepted into the Haicheng Theatre Academy. She found success in love and career and became the true winner in life.
While Song Ran, who, ironically, believed all her lies, had her life ruined.
That wicked Wen Huihui harbored evil thoughts and ruined Song Ran’s life with her very own hands. She enjoyed everything that belonged to Song Ran without feeling any guilt.
In this life, Song Ran would take her rightful revenge and retrieve her rightful compensation. She would not let those with ill intentions off so easily.
Gu Jinghang smiled. “If you’d like, I’ll support you.”
Her happiness was more important than anything.
Song Ran grabbed his hand. “Let’s work hard together. I’ll work hard to become a famous celebrity while you work hard to become the director of the institute. We’ll have a bright future ahead of us.”
“Okay, we’ll work hard together.”
Nothing in the world is more satisfying than keeping our feet on the ground with our loved ones, working step by step and diligently towards our goals.
The couple only got off the boat after Gu Jinghang’s clothes had dried. Then they climbed up to a hilltop and enjoyed the snacks and barley tea Song Ran had packed. They enjoyed the gentle breeze from the forest and sat under the pine trees till sunset.
The theory of relativity of time and space was fully embodied in that moment. Song Ran felt that time flew by in a blink of an eye.
At dusk, Gu Jinghang sent her home. Looking at Song Ran’s flushed cheeks, he urged, “Don’t bring anything next time when you’re out with me. It’s too heavy. I’ve got a salary, and I can treat you to some delicious food.”
Song Ran asked reservedly, “Don’t you need to save some money for marriage?”
Gu Jinghang’s eyes dimmed. This lass is getting bold with her words. She’s supposed to be a lady.
“I have some savings. I’ll work harder and save more money in the future. Rest assured.”
Team Leader Gu might not have a high salary, but when he was single, his expenses were not high. Almost close to zero expenses to be exact. Whatever salary he got, he saved them all. After working for so many years, he had accumulated quite a bit of money.
Song Ran lowered her head and giggled. “That’s good.”
Although she did not value money, no matter what, getting married required it.
“Ran, I have to go.”
“Mm, see you next time.”
Gu Jinghang left reluctantly. He turned his head around repeatedly, waving at her without stopping. “Go back into the house.”
Song Ran leaned on the fence and waved to him. “I’ll watch you go. Go on.”
After Song Ran watched his departing figure disappear, she turned and went into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she was met with Wen Huihui’s grumpy face.
Song Ran walked to her with a smile. With a surprised look on her face, she asked, “Huihui? What are you doing here?”
What is she doing here? What is she doing here? Ran, you f***king know!
She spent her money and took a taxi to the Damuqiao Bird and Flower Market. After walking one round, she did not spot the two of them. Under the summer sun, she had to ask the passers-by if they had seen a couple – a girl with a guy who was slightly taller than her.
Nobody, absolutely nobody saw them!
She did not give up and went round after round. She asked many people. No matter how dry her mouth was or how dizzy she got, she kept looking but saw no sign of them.
After spending half a day in the bird and flower market, she then realized that Song Ran was not even there. She had tricked her.
She actually tricked her!
