Chapter 4 The Role Has Already Been Cast!

• Yan Wen inhaled deeply. With Xia's help, half the battle was already won.
• "Actually Jiang Lingyun not only wants me to audition for her. She's probably planning to monopolize the company's acting resources with Bai Zhexuan's help. Clearly this isn't the first time, so we need to find evidence."
• Not waiting for Xia's reply, Yan Wen continued. "Also, she's pregnant and the child is Bai Zhexuan's."
• Xia let out an angry huff. "They're really made for each other!"
• Cheating was bad enough. Getting Yan Wen to stand-in as Jiang Lingyun was just shameless.
• Yan Wen understood everything clearly now. She was not going to suffer alone after what they did to her. In fact she was going to get her revenge twofold.
• A few hours later, lightly made-up and wearing both a face mask and a hat, Yan Wen showed up punctually at the hotel where the audition would take place.
• As she entered the lobby, Jiang Lingyun's manager Hui walked up to greet her, loudly exclaiming, "Oh my, Lingyun, how did you get so ill? Hurry up and get ready. Don't let Director Chen wait too long!"
• Who would have thought that while Jiang Lingyun's acting was so bad, her manager's was pretty good?
• His words were entirely for the benefit of anyone listening. This way everyone would know that the woman in the mask and hat was Jiang Lingyun.
• The good part was yet to come and Yan Wen was in no hurry to spoil the plot.
• The moment the lift door closed, Hui shot a glance at Yan Wen and grumbled, "What time do you think it is? Do you think you're some sort of big shot, that you can just stroll in on the dot?"
• His arrogant tone was the same as Jiang Lingyun's, treating her like a slave to be ordered around.
• If she had not been blinded by Bai Zhexuan's hypocrisy or if she had not retired behind the scenes but remained active, small fry like Hui would not even dare to look her in the eye, much less order her about.
• Yan Wen looked down. In their eyes, her life was a joke.
• Suppressing her negative thoughts, Yan Wen became calm again.
• She bent slightly to remove her mask, cleared her throat and explained, "Many of the cast know what Jiang Lingyun looks like. I didn't want to be discovered the moment I stepped in so I took my time to prepare."
• As she said those words, Hui realised then that her make-up looked very similar to Jiang Lingyun's regular make-up. With the white foundation, thickly stuck double eyelids and the mask, anyone not familiar would think she was Jiang Lingyun.
• "Mr. Bai already arranged everything. You just need to pretend to faint in front of Director Chen."
• Did they think that would be enough to secure the role?
• "That's it?" Yan Wen looked at him, shocked. "When did Director Chen's roles become so easy to get?"
• "What era do you think this is? Hurry up!" Hui gave her a look as if she was missing something obvious.
• Yan Wen frowned. Was the role already cast?
• Even though the role that Jiang Lingyun was auditioning for was a smaller supporting role, the whole plot revolved around the tragic life of her character, Zhen-er. In the plot, Zhen-er went mad after being forced into a marriage with a man she did not love. The role was not well-paid, but if portrayed well, it would take the acting world by storm.
• Bai Zhexuan had certainly thought very hard about this!
• “Lingyun dear, this is your seat. Since you’re not well, sit down and rest,” Hui called out to her.
• Yan Wen lowered the brim of her hat and hurried over, nodding as she went.
• At the same time, Jiang Sui-an received word that Yan Wen had disguised herself to audition for Jiang Lingyun. He raised his eyebrows, as this was getting more interesting than he expected.
• "Get the car."
• It was not a fancy stage, but he suddenly wanted to watch Yan Wen in action.
