C47 It Turned out to be Her
C47 It Turned out to be Her
"You're the one! You were the main heroine in the movie 'Ritu's Old Clothes'!" He slapped his forehead and realized his stupidity.
"Jason, this is the actress that I mentioned to you before, a star that has been silent for three years."
"But you never told me her name!" Jason was full of regret. Nasha had mentioned to him many times that if she had the chance to work with a Chinese director, she would try her best to invite her to participate, but she never once mentioned Yan Xi's name. Finally, the opportunity to work with Yan Xi have arrived.
Otherwise, today he wouldn't have …
Nasha blinked. "That's because Yan Xi retired and I didn't want to disturb her private life. Now that she is back!"
Jason sighed deeply and took the initiative to apologize to Yan Xi, "I'm sorry about what happened. I believed their slandering and misjudged you."
Nasha frowned, not understanding why Jason is apologizing, "Yan Xi, what happened?"
"It was just a small misunderstanding. I believe that Mr. Jason was unaware." Even if she had told Jason about her previous work in the morning, he would not have believed her. Whereas now, with so many pair of eyes as witness and Nasha's recommendation, Yan Xi's ability was no longer doubted.
"I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about. Let's go inside." Nasha smiled and hooked Yan Xi's arm, looking very close.
Jason remained where he was and gulped down his champagne. He nearly made a grave mistake. If Yan Xi hadn't appeared tonight, he would have missed such an opportunity to work with Yan Xi. No thanks to Bai Xiaoxiao. How dare they deceive him.
He had to make up for his mistakes and save this situation. He couldn't let the cast down by losing such a good actress.
Yan Xi had a wonderful evening. She missed Nasha dearly. Before they bid farewell to each other at the fountain near the exhibition hall, Yan Xi said, "Nasha, after all these years, I still remember you guidance and teachings, I look forward to our next collaboration. But right now, I still have some personal matters I need to settle so I can't stay here long."
"As long as you continue to keep acting, we will definitely see each other again."
Nasha happily took her hand and said, "You've grown and is more mature than before. I believe that your path will continue to go further."
To exceed the status of receiving the best actress award, her future was limitless.
Yan Xi smiled. She knew that if she wanted to reach her higher goal, she needed to work even harder.
Just as Yan Xi was about to leave, Jason was waiting for her near her car, "Miss Yan Xi, I would like to discuss the filming with you again."
"You made it very clear this morning you didn't want me to participate." Yan Xi said honestly.
"No, that was my mistake, I made an error in judgement. As long as you are willing to participate in the filming, I am willing to agree to any condition!"
"Words cannot be absolutely agreed. What if I propose that only one asian is to appear in this show?" Yan Xi asked in a firm and decisive manner.
"No problem, I can agree to that," Jason nodded seriously.
"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow." Yan Xi got on the car that Chiang Mochen sent to pick her up. Next is to wait for tomorrow's drama to unfold.
Since they created the rumors, they would have to face the consequences of being found out.
Bai Xiaoxiao never thought in a million years Yan Xi would have the chance to attend the film exhibition, much less she had let Jason know the truth.
"..."
Yan Xi received a call from Bai Luofan as soon as she returned to the manor.
At first, she didn't want to pick it up, but after thinking about it, she decided to answer.
"Yan Xi, Jason made it very clear this morning. He is the assistant director and since you failed to pass his stage, you don't need to participate in the show anymore. I've already booked a flight for you to return home and have advised the company of your return. You will leave tomorrow morning." He spoke with relief as if a burden has been lifted.
"Why is he misunderstanding me? Did you not explain my previous works to him?" Yan Xi snickered sarcastically.
"What is the point in explaining your previous work to him? We don't know why he thinks that way. Anyway that's the conclusion and everything has been organized. What are you waiting for? They only need one asian actress now and that person is Yumeng." He had completely given up on Yan Xi. Supporting Yumeng is the only thing that mattered in his heart.
"Don't be too full of yourself. I'm only doing what needs to be done. It doesn't matter if you praise her or support her but don't step on me."
For so many years, wasn't it enough they kept using me as a stepping stone?
As if Chiang Mochen could read her mind, he walked over and reached out his hand to hold her hand gently, silently supporting her.
Bai Luofan was blinded by fame and fortune. Ruthlessly crushing and taking advantage of Yan Xi. Not even leaving a path for retreat!
"You're really selfish. Your time in the spotlight have passed! What right do you have not to allow others to be popular? Choosing Yumeng is the right choice. You're not worthy of being my woman."
Yan Xi hung up the phone and took a few deep breaths to calm herself.
Chiang Mochen stroked her back to comfort her.
"I guess I'm not strong as I thought I was. I'm still disgusted by that person."
"It looks things went well?" Otherwise, Bai Luofan wouldn't have such a reaction.
"Yes, we met and talked a lot about the past. I'm very grateful for the opportunity." Yan Xi leaned on his shoulder naturally. "It would've been perfect if you were by my side."
Hearing her say that, Chiang Mochen kissed her forehead, "There will be other opportunities."
Yan Xi hummed softly in acknowledgement.
"Your feet must be tired after walking in heels all night. Here, I'll massage your feet for you."
He held one of her foot in his hands and massaged it to help her to relieve the tension. Then he massaged the other foot.
Yan Xi saw the document on the table he just read and stretched out her hand to massage his temple, " How does the aloof Director Chiang have a considerate side?"
"Perhaps it's because he has a gentle wife who needs his care and attention."
Yan Xi hugged Chiang Mochen tightly, "I seem to be getting more and more inseparable from you."
"..."
In the morning Yan Xi received a call from Bai Xiaoxiao requesting her to be present at the company. She said someone from the directing team will be over to sign the contract.
It seemed like Bai Xiaoxiao did not know the latest situation and Yan Xi didn't enlighten her. It was obvious Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to humiliate her again but this time, all her efforts would fail.
Chiang Yumeng's pregnancy was still not known publicly but it couldn't be delayed for too long. She needed to finish filming here as soon as possible, then return home to prepare for her best actress nominations. Her path was bright and Yan Xi will definitely be defeated.
The conference room was very quiet when Jason opened the door. His shoes made a steady sound as he walked over to the table.
"Jason, you're here! We've prepared the contract for you. You don't have to worry, our Yumeng will definitely give an excellent performance." Bai Xiaoxiao said as she welcomed him with a smile.
"According to what happened yesterday, we have taken this in consideration and also decided to not let Yan Xi participate in the show since she is not qualified."
