Mo Yifan almost facepalmed when he heard Chen Waan admit that she was the girl from the video. The people around had already started whispering among each other. Wang Zibo had just denied her being the same girl and now she was admitting it just like that. Would that not make him and Wang Zibo both a pathological liar?
But again, he was also interested in seeing how this bold girl would solve this, for she did not seem too worried about her words. Rather, confidence was dripping from her eyes.
"I mean, what if I am and what if I am not? Does having same name mean I am the same person?" Chen Waan scoffed, arrogance apparent. Director Sun was looking at the whole scene with very much interest.
That Wang Zenghao, old fox, he had asked him to take care of this girl today but did she even need anyone to step in for her? Turning things around just a few words, she was as witty as Mo Yifan.
Estelle was a last minute entry for him. She had personally contacted him a few days ago and asked him to keep her appearance as a secret. She was moderately popular in Chine because of her new movie but she was not even the female lead. Thus, not a lot of people knew her, especially the big shots in China.
But Director Sun had agreed for she was pretty, her movie was doing fairly well and he wanted to test out bringing foreigners to the show which he had never done before. His show was at its peak and he wanted to bring variety, one would have been casting foreigners.
He wanted to do a trial run and knew that this girl who was proficient in a few languages would be here. Would that not have been the best opportunity? Wang Zenghao was sponsor for quite a few of his shows, so Director Sun could not say no to him. But who would have thought that this brainless actress would some and cause trouble for him?
"Oh? If you are so confident, why do you not remove the mask from your face? What's with hiding your identity?" Estelle flicked her hair as if she had already won. Actually, she had many more resources in Europe and because she was such an ardent fan of Mo Yifan, she had sent personal detectives to find out the truth.
She already knew that this girl was the Chen Waan from the video. She had already heard about Wang Zenghao personally scouting her for his own company through her connections. What she did not know was that this girl had really accepted that offer.
Once she came here and heard the familiar name, she connected the dots and arrived at the conclusion. It was going to be very embarrassing for her. She was convinced in her fangirl heart that Mo Yifan had no idea about both the Chen Waans being the same person.
Human psyche was interesting, wasn't it? People would believe whatever they wanted to believe without knowing the truth, which would ultimately lead to their downfall. It was especially true for netizens and the fans of each artist, and it was a universal phenomenon.
Nevertheless, Chen Waan was having too much fun. She did not know she had aptitude for this. Should she thank that old man Wang for so much entertainment in her life?
"Aiyya Ms. Estelle, if you were so inquisitive about my face, you should have said so in the beginning only. Why did you go through such a round about way?" Chen Waan replied while removing her mask, to reveal a pretty face beneath.
She had heard from Wang Zenghao already that she did not need to worry about showing her face to the public. Why was so? The original video that was taken back in her country was taken in night. No matter how much resolution was used, none of the cameras had captured her face clearly. If there were any high-resolution photos or videos, Wang Zenghao had already dealt with them.
Then, she had never appeared in public after the incident, so none of the reporters had her latest picture. Even the photo supplied by her university to the media was like four years old. So, she did not need to worry at all.
Now, for today, she had put on light make-up by herself, and had donned a beautiful sapphire colored butterfly pendant and earrings set, giving her the charm and elegance of a beauty. Those were matching with her winter coat so well that even Mo Yifan checked her out twice. Her baby pink top beneath accentuated her pretty figure perfectly.
The small potbelly that Mo Yifan had noticed yesterday was gone as well. What was this magic? No one could really say that it was her.
In the chaos, no one realized that they had not really seen her face. Human mind was like this too, always playing tricks. Now that she had been so confident that she revealed her face in an instant without kicking up any fuss, people were more convinced that the two girls were quite different.
The three people from WhirlWind Entertainment heaved a sigh of relief inside their minds. They had averted the disaster.
And Wang Zibo was completely convinced of the girl's acting skills. She already could surpass best actresses with the confidence she had, especially her eyes, they were just so expressive. Even with the mask on, she had managed to evade the whole controversy just with her self-assured demeanor.
"'Run! Fighting!' will start shooting soon. Please take your positions," Director Sun announced suddenly. He was very impressed with the girl's performance just now as well. No wonder she was personally endorsed by that old bastard.
Estelle gnashed her teeth in rage. She felt humiliated in front of everyone. She could always pull the card of being a foreigner and being insulted by the whole country just like this.
Before returning to her place, Chen Waan also saw the multiple expressions the actress went through. She thought in her head that Estelle must have been one pampered artist, she behaved just like a child even though she was in late 20s.
But then Chen Waan also pitied her, she had also started at a very young age in her career. And then she had climbed her ranks. Now she was probably struggling for having been in the industry for too long.
She personally really like Estelle's acting in whatever she was watched. Now that she had seen her real personality, she wanted to puke a bit. She realized this was how most of the people would be. If she were to remain in this industry, she had to be wary of everyone.
But since Chen Waan already felt pitiful for this woman before her, she stepped ahead and whispered in her ears in perfect French, "I also happen to be a foreigner, you cannot pull the trick you are thinking in your mind."
