Inside the villa, a woman's disdainful criticism rang out, "Even bringing a dead infant here, it's unlucky."
"Wuwuwu… my Congcong isn't dead, you're talking nonsense… Congcong… is still alive, he must still be alive." A woman in white, particularly slim, immediately stumbled out, fell to the ground, and picked up the bloodstained bundle.
Tears streamed from her eyes, all falling onto the bundle.
That bundle was less than three centimeters from my toes.
At that moment, when I heard that the bundle contained a dead child, my heart instinctively jerked, and I took a half-step back in fear.
Then, two other women walked out of the villa.
Both were dressed in cheongsams; they looked to be in their early thirties.
One of them was the household-name actress Han Dai, walking in thirty-centimeter stilettos. She stood high above the white-dressed woman who had lost her child,
"Yinman, you're past your prime, and has your brain gone bad too? Clutching a dead infant, coming over to Sister Wanyan's side, are you sincerely trying to pick a fight with her?"
"Bai Yinman…" After hearing Han Dai call out Bai Yinman's name, I repeated it under my breath.
Gradually, an image formed in my mind; it was Bai Yinman, the unadorned goddess who had acted in numerous popular costume dramas.
Could such a nationally-acclaimed actress be mocked as washed up???
Bai Yinman clutched her child tightly and stood up with her lips pursed, "Even if Lin Wanyan thinks my child is dead, she should not have thrown him!! Han Dai, you're about to become a mother too, how can you help her commit such cruelty?"
"Bai Yinman, you can eat shit indiscriminately, but you can't just say anything," Han Dai warned. "You gave up your career and had a child for a man, foolish to the point of bubbling idiocy. I won't do that, I'm not pregnant! If you dare to spread rumors, you'll regret it."
"Yes, I've given up so much, lost my career, lost my family, and still can't keep this child, why… why is fate so cruel."
Bai Yinman held her child and departed, lost and forlorn, continuously muttering helplessly, "I can clearly feel his heartbeat, why does everyone say he's dead… Why…"
"Aiyo, this is live entertainment, female actresses in the entertainment industry fighting over a pregnancy. Indeed, it's more satisfying than scrolling through Weibo."
Lin Hang exclaimed with his hands on his hips, his tone asking for a beating.
I had three lines on my forehead—could I still prove that I was not familiar with this joker by standing farther away from him?
Han Dai's sharp gaze swept over the three of us, particularly eyeing Lin Hang, "Who are you three? Brazenly intruding into a private residence. Doesn't security stop you?"
"Who I am, you should ask Lin Wanyan," Lin Huan said, hands behind his back and voice deep.
The woman in the emerald cheongsam approached, and upon seeing Lin Huan, her expression suddenly became serious and solemn. She bowed very formally to Lin Huan, "Sect Master, why have you come?"
"There's a matter," Lin Huan replied, expressionless, and walked straight into the villa.
Han Dai suddenly panicked, "Sister Wanyan, you only meet with one guest at a time. It was hard enough to get rid of that unlucky has-been Bai Yinman! Now another old man shows up. Do you know how packed my schedule is? If I miss today, I have to join a drama crew and several variety shows; it will be hard to find another time."
"Go upstairs and wait for a bit; it won't take too long." The woman in the cheongsam turned out to be Lin Wanyan, who, judging by her figure and face, did not at all appear to be of an older generation.
Lin Hang and I both gave Lin Wanyan an up-and-down look, showing an expression of astonishment.
Although Han Dai looked reluctant, she still went into the villa and ascended the stairs.
"Sect Master, your visit is an honor. Please," Lin Wanyan said, completely ignoring Lin Hang and me, not even glancing our way, her invitation obviously forced and insincere.
Despite her respectful behavior, the slight frown on her brow and some impatient micro-expressions made it clear that she actually did not welcome Lin Huan's arrival.
