Meanwhile, Men Shanshan also received a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Men Shanshan’s expression changed from shock to elation, "Great! Great! Please thank Young Master Chen for me!"
She went on like this for quite a while before finally hanging up.
Then, with a beaming smile, she turned to Ye Shaohua, "Sister Ye, I’m really sorry. I just mentioned it to Young Master Chen last night. I didn’t expect him to disregard the camaraderie between you two over the past years and give the leading role to me. You’re not angry, are you?"
Having said that, Men Shanshan no longer looked at Ye Shaohua and left with a strut, accompanied by her agent.
For a moment, those who were still in the hallway couldn’t help but turn their eyes to Ye Shaohua.
Their gazes were filled with something unusual.
"Since that’s the case, I guess there’s no need for me to go practice physical expression, right?" Ye Shaohua, showing no signs of anger on her face, lazily leaned against the wall and looked towards Sister Jiang.
Sister Jiang was somewhat angry.
She actually had a high opinion of Chen Xumin. He did not keep a small starlet, nor did he have the air of other rich second-generation heirs.
Sister Jiang had also helped Chen Xumin out of many tight spots.
If Ye Shaohua were to get married, Sister Jiang believed Chen Xumin would be a good match.
But she never expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled at Ye Shaohua, "No need."
"Alright then, I’ll go back to sleep," Ye Shaohua waved her hand, showing no concern whatsoever for the snatched role.
Sister Jiang gave her a look, "All you do is sleep. Can’t you be more professional? How will you ever become famous like this?"
Ye Shaohua lifted her phone to show the over fifty million followers on Weibo, "Sister Jiang, do you call this not being famous?"
Sister Jiang: "..."
"Go back to sleep then," Sister Jiang said, too annoyed to say more, dismissively gesturing for Ye Shaohua to leave. "Forget about ’Light’. I’ll ask around for other directors for you."
"I heard that Director Wei has been in contact with the author of ’All Gods Blue Sky’ recently, thinking of adapting it into a movie. Keep an eye out for that, Sister Jiang," The assistant, also furious, suddenly blurted out some gossip he had heard upon Sister Jiang’s remark.
’All Gods Blue Sky’ was a novel with a built-in fan base.
Countless people in the circle coveted the IP, but even after a year, no one had secured it.
Sister Jiang had obviously heard of it and stroked her chin, "If Director Wei really secured the rights, Shaohua, I think you’re the perfect fit for the lead actress. However, this is not confirmed yet..."
Without another word, Ye Shaohua turned and left, "No worries, I’m heading back."
"Go on, then!" Sister Jiang was too tired to continue the conversation.
Only after Ye Shaohua left did Sister Jiang’s complexion darken, she turned to her assistant, "Go check what’s been going on with Young Master Chen these days."
The assistant immediately went to investigate.
While Sister Jiang watched Ye Shaohua’s retreating figure, she fell into deep thought.
Sister Jiang had always been curious about Ye Shaohua. She had managed her for two years, and despite her indolent and unambitious nature, her fans still adored her.
Throughout these years, Sister Jiang had come to understand Ye Shaohua’s temperament. She seemed indifferent toward everything, but what was most important was that she almost seemed to not care about her own life.
Her eyes seemed incapable of holding anyone within them; sometimes, Sister Jiang felt that Ye Shaohua was almost detached from the world.
Once, for the sake of a film, she forced herself to the point of gastric bleeding. If it hadn’t been a major incident, Sister Jiang wouldn’t have realized how frail Ye Shaohua’s body truly was.
Therefore, ever since then, no matter where she went, Sister Jiang always brought along a thermos or a thermal pot.
Ye Shaohua might not care about her own health, but to Sister Jiang, it was quite heart-wrenching.
However, upon her return this time, Sister Jiang seemed to notice something different about Ye Shaohua, especially those eyes.
There was a flicker of brightness, no longer as empty as before, dismissing everyone in sight.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family in Imperial City.
Inside the study room on the second floor of the Ye mansion,
Old Master Ye was looking at some documents, "Is this really our second girl?"
"We’ve checked several times," Ye Feng said softly, looking at the photo of the brightly beautiful girl in the documents, "She went to the hospital for gastric bleeding last time, and we managed to get her DNA from the doctors there. After three comparisons, there’s no mistake."
"Good, good..." Old Master Ye nodded again and again, "I never thought our second girl was still alive after that incident. Where is she now? I don’t know if she has suffered over these years."
Upon hearing these words from the elderly gentleman, Ye Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, then he said in a low voice, "She is currently with Star City Entertainment, an actress."
"An actress?" The word made the old man pause.
She could barely remember the plot of Director Xu Wen’s film by now, let alone what it was about.
She had just come back and had many things she needed to deal with properly.
This was the apartment arranged for her by the company, two bedrooms and a living room, located very close to the company. The security at the door was very responsible, and several artists from Xingcheng lived here as well.
Ye Shaohua returned to her room and buried herself in the covers, sleeping for several hours.
Around nine o’clock at night, she was awakened by the sound of a doorbell.
Ye Shaohua buried her head in the pillow.
The doorbell outside was incessant.
After another two minutes, Ye Shaohua got up to open the door.
She initially thought it would be Sister Jiang or her assistant ringing the doorbell, but to her surprise, upon opening the door, she saw a very handsome youth standing at the entrance.
He was only around twenty years old.
Dressed in a military uniform that he hadn’t had the chance to change out of yet.
Ye Shaohua glanced at his left shoulder.
There was a fresh imprint there; Ye Shaohua knew his rank must have been deliberately removed.
"Who are you looking for?" Ye Shaohua pinched the bridge of her nose.
Ye Li stood outside the door, looking at Ye Shaohua. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but found himself at a loss for words for quite some time.
In fact, he had already looked over the information Ye Feng had sent over in the car, knowing that his second sister was the new Best Actress who was very popular on the internet right now. Even in the military, several people were her fans.
Yet, upon seeing Ye Shaohua in person, Ye Li was still taken aback.
"You must be Shaohua, right?" Ye Li didn’t speak for a long while. The dignified woman behind him took a slight step forward, nodding politely towards Ye Shaohua, her hand adorned with a watch worth millions of yuan.
Memories from the past were too distant.
If Ye Shaohua didn’t focus, she couldn’t remember at all.
Seeing the young man didn’t trigger any reaction from her.
But upon seeing the woman, Ye Shaohua’s nearly buried memories suddenly became clear, her voice almost indifferent, "Yes, it’s me. What do you want?"
"Hello, I am Ye Tong," the woman smiled with great poise, looking at Ye Shaohua with a faint gaze, "Your sister."
