– 乔颜( qiáo yán)- Qiao Yan, the female protagonist of the original novel.
Qian Yan was an intelligent person. She could see that Fu Ran did not put that matter to heart and had no interest in continuing the conversation. She felt a little disappointed and subsequently quickly found an excuse to leave.
Fu Ran did not take all this to heart and happily went back to find Yun Shu and continued to cling to her.
Yet another person took it seriously.
……
Qiao Yan delivered the props to the prop team. As soon as she came out, she ran into the drama scriptwriter, Fang Ling.
Qiao Yan froze and then greeted her with a smile.
“I want to have a chat with you.” Fang Ling slowly and methodically took out a box of women’s cigarettes, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.
Qiao Yan suddenly realised that Fang Ling was very beautiful, not in terms of look but in terms of posture. Every move was elegant and beautiful, even when she smoked. When her red lips gently exhaled smoke, it was a different kind of sexiness.
Some people were like this. They could easily attain what most people had difficulty getting in their lifetime.
Qiao Yan waited for a while. However, when Fang Ling took several puffs of smoke and still remained silent, Qiao Yan couldn’t appreciate the beautiful view anymore. Hence, the atmosphere was really too strange.
Qiao Yan didn’t want to continue waiting, so she asked directly, “Scriptwriter Fang, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?”
Fang Ling slowly exhaled smoke, and only then did she speak about the reason, “Because there is something I’m very curious about that I want to ask you.”
Qiao Yan asked, “May I ask what it is?”
Fang Ling glanced at Qiao Yan and said, “I always thought you were a smart girl, but now it seems you’re no more than that.”
Qiao Yan’s smile on her face remained unchanged, but her hands balled into fists and squeezed tightly. She said, “Why does Scriptwriter Fang say this about me? Is there something I have done to offend Scriptwriter Fang?”
Fang Ling sneered, “You have not offended me. But I have a problem of not being able to stand people who covet other people’s boyfriends. I’m not even accustomed to seeing things like scums, mistresses, and whatnot.”
There was a meaning behind Fang Ling’s words, and Qiao Yan knew exactly what she was referring to. She pursed her lips and said, “Scriptwriter Fang, I think you misunderstood. I only met President Fu once, and he also helped me before. I just—”
A fair finger pointed to Qiao Yan’s fingers from a distance, interrupting Qiao Yan’s subsequent words.
Fang Ling looked at Qiao Yan and said, “I have heard these excuses like yours so many times… Qiao Yan, do you dare to guarantee that you have no designs on Fu Ran at all?”
Qiao Yan stared back at Fang Ling without any hesitation. It was just that she knew in her heart what she was thinking inside.
Fang Ling did not take her act to heart. She just said, “It does not matter if you have any designs on him. You are destined to fail anyway.”
After these words were spoken, Fang Ling turned around and was about to leave.
Qiao Yan’s eyes turned dark. She struggled a few times and finally could not suppress the strong thoughts in her heart. She yelled, “I don’t understand how exactly am I inferior to Yun Shu?”
Whether it is Fu Ran or Fang Ling, why are they siding with Yun Shu?
Not only them, but many people in the film crew also praised Yun Shu.
Qiao Yan really couldn’t understand. She was just merely good-looking. Why does everyone like Yun Shu so much? Is it really because she is beautiful?
Fang Ling replied, “Because she’s good-looking.”
Yun Shu’s beautiful appearance was not provocative. But it was well-liked by women and men. Her highly favourable impression in people’s hearts was primarily thanks to her being blessed with good looks.
But that was not all because Yun Shu—
“It is also because she is still a foolish girl who is content, kind-hearted, and knows how to be grateful and reciprocate.”
