“What's past is past. After coming to Lancheng, I sincerely hope you can live a good life now.”
Meng Jingwei sighed.
Both of them seemed to have their thoughts drift back to the hidden clan, reminiscing about everything that had happened there.
Shen Liannuo missed her deceased mother, while Meng Jingwei thought of Old Shen Tou.
Human emotions were complex; she felt both love and hate towards Old Shen Tou.
An hour later, they arrived at Tianlang Film and Television Media Company.
The car stopped in the basement, and Meng Jingwei, along with Shen Liannuo, got out and entered the elevator.
Shen Liannuo, holding her purse, was touching up her makeup in the mirror.
Meng Jingwei couldn't help but tease, "Alright, stop with the makeup. You can outshine everyone even without it, yet you insist on putting on makeup. Don't you know how strong women's jealousy can be?"
Shen Liannuo put away her lipstick, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a smile, alluring and captivating. "The cosmetics Song Jun gave me; it would be a shame not to use them."
"Song Jun gave them to you?"
In her memory, Song Jun was a very aloof person, not even having a girlfriend.
How could he give Shen Liannuo makeup?
This guy, could he have finally blossomed?
"Yes. I had a competition with Song Jun, and he said he'd give me a gift if I won. Then… mmm-hmm…" She waved the lipstick in her hand. "I took him to a high-end cosmetics store and asked for a full set. It cost him over two hundred thousand. He was so angry he didn't speak to me for a whole day."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
In the end, she had overthought it.
Ding—
The elevator arrived at the 31st floor, and the doors opened.
As they stepped out of the elevator, they were greeted by Ji Lanfeng's female assistant.
Meng Jingwei greeted her, "Hello."
"Miss Meng, Fengfeng is over there. I'll take you." As the assistant spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Liannuo several times, seemingly deeply struck by her beauty.
"Thank you."
Meng Jingwei thanked her and followed the assistant down the corridor.
At this moment, they noticed many people waiting for auditions, either standing or sitting in the corridor. Meng Jingwei recognized a few of them from television.
Those people also cast curious glances at the two of them.
"Isn't that Meng Jingwei? What is she doing here?"
"My god, was she really abandoned by Qing Muye, and now she's here to make money in the entertainment industry?"
"Heavens, who is that woman next to Meng Jingwei? She's so beautiful, so ethereal."
"So beautiful, how can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?"
"Are you blind? Meng Jingwei doesn't look bad either."
"Although Meng Jingwei's reputation isn't good, she's truly pure and beautiful. I just like this type of cold and aloof beauty."
"One is a cold beauty, the other is alluring and charming. They are not the same type at all, but they are both truly pleasing to the eye."
…
The women, with eyes filled with jealousy, envy, disdain, or indifference, all turned their gazes towards them.
Meng Jingwei selectively ignored them and entered the audition office with Shen Liannuo.
The office was divided into an inner and outer room. In the main hall of the inner room sat the judges, and actors were auditioning.
Ji Lanfeng saw Meng Jingwei through the glass door and walked out.
"So slow, it would have been over if you were any later," Ji Lanfeng complained without mercy, giving Meng Jingwei no face at all.
Of course, this was their usual way of interacting, and they were already accustomed to it.
As he spoke, Ji Lanfeng looked at Shen Liannuo beside Meng Jingwei, his dark eyes becoming even brighter. "Is she your friend?"
"Mm-hmm. Shen Liannuo." Meng Jingwei introduced.
Looking at the stunning woman before him, Ji Lanfeng friendly extended his hand. "Hello, beautiful lady."
"Hello." Shen Liannuo shook his hand.
"Birds of a feather flock together; beauties befriend beauties," he said with a smile.
Meng Jingwei rolled her eyes at him. "If you want to compliment her looks, just say it directly instead of being so indirect."
