CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 15: PRESSING STEP BY STEP

Tong Yan pressed on, "Tian Tian, are you treating me as less than a good friend now? Why didn’t you tell me when something happened? Even if it’s bad, don’t be afraid, we can figure it out together, there’s no obstacle we can’t overcome."

"Exactly, exactly..." Tang Tian was about to go crazy, was Tong Yan doing it on purpose! How was she supposed to respond? The conversation was completely blocked, what else could she say!

Tang Tian’s delay in speaking made the people around her suspicious, surely there’s something shady going on, and their glances toward her turned hostile.

Tong Yan looked sorrowful, "Tian Tian, is there anything we can’t say to each other?"

Damn it!

Tang Tian almost wanted to curse.

Qin Yikuo was becoming impatient too; among so many people, especially after becoming so famous recently, if something were to happen and get reported, what would become of his acting career in the future? He became even more upset at the thought of this, "Alright, alright, stop arguing."

Everyone’s gaze turned toward him; he felt a bit annoyed, glancing around, "Let’s go, standing here will block the way."

"Yikuo, I haven’t auditioned yet, how can I leave? Wait here for me, I’ll go in first." How could she let them have their way? If they moved away, there’d be no drama to watch. Tong Yan smirked slightly, huh, it’s really ironic, how far will they go to protect each other? How long ago had they been entangled with each other? Promising eternal loyalty to her while mingling with Tang Tian, what a faithful love.

Tong Yan spoke as she was about to go in, Tang Tian grabbed her hand, lowering her head, "Yanyan, don’t, please don’t go in, the audition is already over."

Tong Yan couldn’t believe it, "Impossible, the audition was supposed to last all day."

"Yanyan, I really didn’t do it on purpose, I was pulled in by someone..." Tang Tian’s eyes were full of tears, clutching her hand tightly, her eyes were very big, brimming with tears, "I don’t know how I was chosen..."

Tong Yan’s mouth slightly opened, shaking her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with shock, "No, this isn’t true, I just went to the bathroom, how did this happen, Tian Tian, you’re my best friend, why, why take from me..."

Tang Tian quickly interjected, her voice small and trembling, "Yanyan, I really didn’t do it on purpose, you have to believe me..."

Tong Yan, heartbroken, shook off her hand and ran away!

The surrounding audience could more or less see what was going on, looking at Tang Tian and Qin Yikuo with disdainful and suspicious eyes, so that’s the story, taking someone else’s things! They look well-mannered, but who knew they were so devious.

The two were looked at with increasingly unpleasant expressions, lowering their heads, they hurried away.

Tong Yan ran outside, finally revealing a smile; Tang Tian, don’t you want to take everything? This role is yours by default now. I wonder if you’ll handle it when the drug scandal explodes?

When Liu Zhe found out about the unsuccessful audition, he immediately blackened his face, scolding harshly, and Tong Yan looked sincerely innocent, leaving Liu Zhe at a loss for words.

Not long after, Liu Zhe informed Tong Yan of several assignments, perhaps he knew Tong Yan couldn’t be kept for long, so he wanted to squeeze her dry at the end. As she was still an artist with this company, she had no way to refuse the assignments Liu Zhe took.

Looking at these advertisements, it was like eating a pile of crap, all kinds of vulgar and sleazy ads. She was determined, insisting not to perform, even at the cost of breaking her own bones and getting the doctor to make x-rays and sick notes, Liu Zhe, knowing this, flew into a rage and threw things directly.

Tong Yan was someone who could endure hardship, with a background as a martial arts stunt double, she often got injured, plus her diligence had honed her skills; even a few men weren’t her match. To thrive in the entertainment industry later on, she couldn’t take these ads, or it would be a flaw in her career after becoming famous, hence she opted to break her bones.

Firstly, to recuperate, and also to ponder the role of picking chrysanthemums; though she had high hopes for this movie, with amazing plot and everything, she had never heard of it in her past life, likely a critical success but commercial failure. Secondly, to avoid Liu Zhe’s constant pointless trouble-making.

Fortunately, there’s Yiyi at home, making her recuperation quite comfortable.
