Rebirth from the Ashes

It was a huge deal as the online community was tearing into Li Jingran and her husband, not sparing her children too. There were also people demanding Wanwan to drop out of the set of Lady Luck. They were boycotting her, saying they refused to watch the TV series if she was going to be on it.

It took forever for Wanwan to obtain Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s approval and make the supporting actress of Lady Luck. By whatever means, Li Jingran had to help Wanwan hold onto the role she cared so much about.

“Sure.” Su Ruowan’s voice was fragile and dreary, but blood could be drawn from the tight grip she had over her phone. With a menacing look on her face, she gnashed her teeth. They would take care of it?! How did they intend to do that?

Li Jingran and Su Yi were useless pieces of sh*t for leaving crumbs to gnaw at after committing the crime. Had they killed Yuan Yu when they murdered Yuan Heng and stole their inheritance, the whole shebang would not have happened. They sure knew nothing about destroying root and branch!

Su Yi, the b*stard, must fear nothing since he was capable of killing his wife and stealing others’ possession. He did not even hesitate to ditch his own son. For them to land in hot soup, he and the Su family got what they deserved.

However, they had to drag her in all of this and put her on the receiving end of abusive comments. She would have to suffer with them if the family went bust. It was all their fault.

“So, I’ll let you go then. Take care of yourself. Don’t get distracted and have a good time on set.” Li Jingran loved her only daughter, hoping she was not put in jeopardy because of them. Li Jingran did not want Su Ruowan to endure the anguish with them.

“Mom, please call me if you and Dad need something.” Su Ruowan said considerately before hanging up. Her venomous eyes stared bitterly at the darkened phone screen.

Outside, daylight shone over the land.

Su Ruowan closed her eyes and by the time she opened them, she was back to her normal self. She walked to the mirror and painted a sickly pale look. Adding her red eyes to the mix, she looked fragilely delicate enough to tug at heartstrings.

She smiled at herself in the mirror, taking the fragile vibe to a new level. She could not throw in the towel. She had to work on playing the innocent and upset girl in pain to pull sympathy votes.

No news from Cloud Seven was good news. Even if she had to get on her knees and beg, Su Ruowan would do it to remain in the production.

After doing all that, she got up and was ready to make her way to the set. She opened the door and saw a man of noble bearing walking right past her. With her eyes lighting up, her gaze chased after him to find the man stopping at the nearby presidential suite.

That was right. It was that presidential suite. Ms. Cai Ni, also Shen Xi, the b*tch had been living in that room.

Su Ruowan got a good look at the man’s handsome face when he stopped in his tracks. The way his aloofness commanded the space was a telltale sign of his high standing.

Her mind blew up as the green-eyed monster took possession of her body. As the man took out a room key, she ran toward him.

Was this man, as mentioned by Lin Chan yesterday, the b*tch’s boyfriend? As expected, he was better looking and more refined than the guy from yesterday.

“Sir, do you live here?’ Su Ruowan presented herself with her best and most gentle smile as she inquired.

There was no way. She refused to believe it. Why was Shen Xi, the b*tch, able to acquire whatever and whomever she could not have so effortlessly?

The man must not be here for Shen Xi. Surely, he was not Shen Xi’s boyfriend. The b*tch only deserved a disabled and married old man like what Bingbing had described. It was only fitting that Shen Xi became a mistress.

A thin sheet of ice shielded Li Yuan’s dark eyes. Refusing to cast a glance at her, he coldly blurted in disdain, “Kun Lun.”

He knew the woman. She was Su Ruowan, the adopted daughter of the Su family.

She was the supporting actress of his fair lady’s latest TV series. Li Yuan was aware that his fair lady only gave Su Ruowan the role for a little fun and games, so he did not stop Shen Xi. He could not believe that Su Ruowan would be so tactless to hit on him.

Su Ruowan was about to chat him up when an equally handsome guy marched to her with a murderous aura that sent chills down her spine. Feeling the numbness on her scalp, Su Ruowan froze but mustered the courage to talk to the handsome man at the door. She kept a grin on her face. “Sir, are you here for Xixi? I’m Xixi’s sister. I’m looking for her too.”

So what if Shen Xi refused to acknowledge her as a sister? It did not stop her from using it as an excuse. She must tell this man about Shen Xi’s evil deeds so the man could see her true face, hate on her, and abandon her.

Li Yuan’s frowny face carried displeasure as he glanced at the approaching Kun Lun to clear the trash. His lean fingers held the key card and stuck it at the reader.

Shen Xi just got up and ran around the room like a fool to look for Li Yuan. Unable to locate him, she slapped her head in disappointment while thinking she must have dreamed about Li Yuan’s late-night visit.

The click of the door caught her unexpectedly. Turning her head to the source of the sound, she saw the man’s smiling face. As her expression turned to joy, she happily went up and uttered in a grievance, “Brother, where were you? I thought I was dreaming.’

At the door, Su Ruowan, who was asked to leave, pulled a sour face before shoving past Kun Lun to barge into the room. She was sure that it was Shen Xi’s voice.

Kun Lun was caught off guard by her sudden charge. During the moment’s trance, Su Ruowan had bolted toward Li Yuan and was about to crash into his embrace. Kun Lun could die right there and then. Oh, no. He was dead meat if the girl touched Boss. The same date next year would be his death anniversary.

Su Ruowan was delighted to see an opening as the man spread his arms. The makeup she had on today could draw any man’s urge to protect her. There was no telling whether the handsome man could escape her clutches.

It never occurred to her that the man suddenly took a step forward when she was so close to falling into his arms. Su Ruowan then saw Shen Xi pouncing at the man for a full bear hug.

Su Ruowan had already lost her footing and hit her head on the door frame. Without the time to tend to the pain, she bitterly stared at the man whose eyes went from cold to warm.

His changed gaze made Su Ruowan twistedly jealous.. The person in his eyes only made Su Ruowan blow up more.
