when Chen Yu received the notice, she was full of admiration. In comparison to Yan Wen's magnanimity, Jiang Lingyun's petty tricks were nothing. Next, would be to see how Bai Zhexuan decided to approach the matter.
On hearing the news, Jiang Lingyun rushes to the office. she was incensed to see Chen Yu standing in the office and the invitation on Bai Zhexuan's table.
「Zhexuan, don't tell me you're going to help Yan Wen?」
After this step, no one would be able to stop Yan Wen's rise back to being a top-billed actress.
Chen Yu stood quietly to the side. Jiang Lingyun was sensing danger as the decision was not in her hands. Even though she was in a relationship with Bai Zhexuan, he would stand his ground in the face of massive profitability.
「Take a seat first, I'll explain everything to you. with the situation the way it is, if we continue to block Yan Wen, it will look bad on the company. the business with the video hasn't been resolved either. if you could make peace with Yan Wen and film together, this would dispel the rumors. Then, I'll announce I broke up with Yan Wen a while ago and this will naturally clear your name. When the time comes, the best actress award is yours for the taking!」
Bai Zhexuan's words made Jang Lingyun brighten up.
「Really?」
「Of course, I would never lie to you! She'll always be your stepping stone.」
Chen Yu quietly left the office to tell Yan Wen what was said verbatim. Since she had made up her mind to follow Yan Wen, she wanted her to have all relevant information.
But Yan Wen barely reacted to the latest developments.
「Aren't you worried?」The more Chen Yu interacted with Yan Wen, the less she understood what she was thinking.
「Help me with one thing.」Yan Wen smiled, not giving Chen Yu a direct reply. 「Let them know I'm studying acting abroad.」
She had seen Bai Zhexuan try to use her as a bridge for Jiang Lingyun as a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It was not going to happen this time.
Chen Yu thought Yan Wen's idea was brilliant. Such a simple solution to resolve this crisis.
Jiang Lingyun was still around when Chen Yu replied to Bai Zhexuan.
「Who does she think she is! Studying abroad? Impossible!」Jiang Lingyun was already jumping out of her seat before Bai Zhexuan has even opened his mouth.
「Isn't this for President Bai to decide?」Chen Yu returned.
Jiang Lingyun hugged and tugged Bai Zhexuan's arm. 「Zhexuan, say something!」
「Where's Yan Wen? I want to see her.」
Chen Yu was shocked. No wonder Yan Wen had informed her of her day's schedule; she had already known this would happen. She pulled out the concert invitation that Xia has given her. It was a private invitation from an internationally-renowned orchestra and only twenty people in the whole city had received them. People like Bai Zhexuan and Jiang Lingyun has no chance to be admitted.
「Yan Wen said that since she can't really come to the office if you wish to look for her, you can meet her at the concert.」
「How did she get an invitation? And to be so generous to invite you along!」
Jiang Lingyun was about to combust in jealousy.
「As the only daughter of the Yan family, Yan Wen is definitely entitled to an invitation. She might have been more low profile previously but now the company is blocking her from working, can't she have a private indulgence?」said Chen Yu.
「But...」
Jiang Lingyun ground her teeth unhappily. She has nothing to reply to that with.
m to be together with Bai Zhexuan, Yan Wen has given to her cushy lifestyle and even retired from the entertainment industry in order to establish himself in the company. Now that Bai Zhexuan was breaking up with her, she no longer needed to sacrifice herself to protect his pride.
Jiang Lingyun could only watch as Bai Zhexuan accepted the concert invitation. This was a level that she could never reach.
Bai Zhexuan frowned and laughed coldly. 「Why didn't she bring this out when we were together? Going back to princess life now that there are problems? Does she think I treated her badly?」
Chen Yu shook her head helplessly at their narrow-mindedness. It was a good thing that Yan Wen had left Bai Zhexuan, otherwise he would just keep holding her back.
「If President Bai wishes to attend, please go ahead. I will take my leave now.」She could not bear to watch the scumbag couple any longer. She might as well help Yan Wen think of the next step in her comeback plan.
Yan Wen's unexpected actions left a bitter taste in Bai Zhexuan's heart. When they were together, it was clear that all ties with the Yan's were severed. Now that Yan Wen was out of his reach, he was full of regret that he had not held onto her.
If he had persisted, perhaps he would be in a position to use her family connections and make himself a household name.
What he did not know was that these were all his own assumptions. Relations between Yan Wen and her family have not thawed. The family has been disappointed in her actions regarding Bai Zhexuan and unless she managed to stage a comeback, she would have no face to admit her mistakes.
The concert invitations were from Jiang Sui-an. Initially, Yan Wen had not wanted to use them like this but Juang Sui-an has convinced her to.
「The outside world will not understand who you really are but this will know that you've been doing well.」
No matter what her next step was, she could live like a queen. Yan Wen grinned as she sat in Jiang Sui-an's car.
「Thanks for sending me here, Mr. Jiang.」
「What? That's all the thanks I get?」Jiang Sui-an leaned forward on purpose, his meaning clear.
Yan Wen smiles shyly and moved to kisses him on the cheek when he suddenly turned and their lips met.
Pulling her close to him, he kissed her until she was breathless.
Their panting filled the car.
「If were at home, I would take you right now, you little minx.」
His usual coldness was laced with a hidden desire.
Yan Wen hummed provocatively, hooking her arms around his neck. 「Really? Then let's go home.」
Her light words teased him like a feather, pull him to her like a magnet. He could barely hold himself back. He wanted to take her right here and right now.
「Are you afraid I won't dare?」He suddenly set up, his body looming over Yan Wen. smirking, he took in her flustered expression and bend down to kiss her with gusto.
「The concert is about to start.」His voice was husky and her taste was on his lips as he reluctantly let her go. No woman has ever made him feel this way.
Yan Wen nodded. 「Okay, I'll see you at home.」
She straightened her clothes, stepped out of the car, and walked into the city's top hotel. As she entered the lobby smiling, her delicate fingers pulled out the invitation from her clutch. Dressed in a jewel-encrusted silver mermaid-silhouette gown, with a limited edition diamond bracelet and necklace set, she attracted everyone's attention.
「That's Yan Wen?」
「How elegant... I remember now, she's from the Yan family.」
