Lin Che clenched her hands. She was typing on her phone until her fingers hurt. She thought to herself, I will not let you off, Gu Jingze. Just watch out when I return!
Thinking that Gu Jingze was preoccupied with searching for Gu Jingming, he must be worried sick and feeling more desperate than her. Because of Gu Jingming, she decided to let him off for once until everything was settled. Then, she would confront him about this, hmph.
Seeing how Lin Che’s expression changed at once, the people around her shot her puzzled looks.
“Sister Lin Che… What happened to you?”
When Lin Che snapped out of it, she looked at these people in front of her all watching her in confusion. Some stared at her blankly while others seemed shocked.
Lin Che had forgotten that they were still around.
Quickly retracting the angry expression on her face, she laughed dryly and said, “Oh, nothing. Erm… I am going out to take a breather.”
“Ah, Sister Lin Che, I will go with you.” They followed her quickly, worried that she might be taking things too hard on herself.
If something happened to Lin Che, they would not be able to answer for it. Therefore, they could not let her wander off on her own.
Soon, they were out.
The hotel lobby was playing soothing music in the background, Lin Che took a deep breath. Despite dressing casually in a white chiffon outfit with a beige coat, she continued to gain attention while standing there with both hands in her pockets. Her beauty and elegance were so extraordinary that even when they came to a place with different beauty standards, she was still turning heads.
“Lin Che.” There came a voice from behind. It belonged to someone whom Lin Che prayed hard that she would not see at that moment.
She could not believe that Qin Wanwan was also staying at the same hotel.
She just came back to the hotel, dressed in high heels and culottes, looking very fashionable. Behind her was a big group of staff members. They had most probably just returned from a street photoshoot for some photos to be sent back home.
Qin Wanwan sized up Lin Che and said, “It has been a while. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Looks like the production team has booked the same hotel for both of us.”
Lin Che glanced at Qin Wanwan. “Oh, I heard that you came for an audition. My apologies that you had to make a special trip here.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s only right that I come and help you. After all, we have known each other for such a long time. Now, that you can’t continue the role, I should come quickly. Don’t you think so? Thinking about it, you must be down on your luck. How could you offend Mr. Henry as soon as you came to Hollywood? I suggest you visit the temple to pay your respects and get rid of the bad luck when you return home.”
Lin Che wanted to tell her that it was all due to her own efforts but she simply looked at Qin Wanwan and gave a sweet smile. “Thank you for your advice. In fact, I was the one who let you down. I could not keep this role so later on when you got this role, others might say that you took it away from me or they might say that I didn’t want this role anymore and gave it to you. You became my substitute. How could I let you be my substitute?”
Qin Wanwan’s expression darkened upon hearing her words.
Lin Che snorted and walked off.
Her crew was also staring at Qin Wanwan.
Both sides seemed hostile towards each other and the situation seemed tense.
Then, Qin Wanwan called out, “Oh right, I heard Mr. Henry enjoys drinking red wine. Since you have met him already, he would have told you about this right?”
Lin Che turned around.
Qin Wanwan looked at her with an arrogant smile. “Don’t mind me. I just prepared some red wine for Mr. Henry, but I am not sure if I chose the one he liked so I wanted to get your opinion. Miss Mary has invited me to Mr. Henry’s place tomorrow and to show my respect for him, a gift is a must. After all, not everyone gets an opportunity to be invited to Mr. Henry’s place. With such a rare opportunity, I definitely must not mess it up.”
Did she just admit that those were all her doings?
