Chapter 8 Tit For Tat

• Late at night, Ning Ran closed the script and rested her tired eyes.
• She picked up her wallet on the bed and opened it. There was a shiny button inside.
• That crazy night from five years ago had left her with two children and this button.
• The button was black and intricate in design with the letter “N” embossed onto it.
• Ning Ran fiddled with the button as her thoughts started to wander.
• Even she didn't understand why she held on to this button throughout these years.
• That night from five years ago was a nightmare to her.
• Ning Ran had never thought of looking for that man. Whenever the kids asked about their father, she would only tell them that their Daddy was missing.
• Ning Ran came back to her senses after a while, and put the button back into the wallet.
• The audition was tomorrow. Luo Fei would be there too, so she would definitely know who the man was that night......
• The next day, at the Empire Hotel in Flower City on the set of The Sound of Thunder 2 audition.
• Luo Fei showed up at the audition in fancy clothes surrounded by her manager and assistants.
• The reporters who had been waiting for her quickly gathered around her.
• “Ms. Luo, your film The Sound of Thunder from five years ago was a great hit! What are your thoughts on starring in The Sound of Thunder 2?”
• “Ms. Luo, your acting skills has received mixed reviews from the audience since the release of The Sound of Thunder. How confident are you for starring in The Sound of Thunder 2?”
• ......
• Luo Fei had not slept well the night before because of the incident from yesterday.
• When she heard the reporter's questions which indirectly mocked her acting skills, her face turned black instantly.
• “Shut up! Come and do it if you think you're that great!”
• Wang Xiaoou was startled by her sudden outburst and quickly urged the hotel security to escort Luo Fei into the building.
• “How many times do I have to tell you this? Don't mess with the reporters!”
• Luo Fei snorted, “I've been putting up with them for a long time. They're just a bunch of useless reporters. How dare they shame me like that! What they make in a month isn't even enough for me to buy a lipstick......”
• As she looked up, she saw a familiar face.
• “Wait here. Don't follow me, and don't let anyone come near either.”
• Luo Fei strode towards Ning Ran after saying that and ignored Wang Xiaoou completely.
• Ning Ran turned around when she heard the footsteps and came face to face with a vicious-looking Luo Fei.
• Luo Fei saw that they were in a secluded corner with no one around and she asked, “What are you doing here?”
• “If you can be here, I don't see why I can't.”
• “So you're done with putting up an act? Didn't you say you were Ding Mi yesterday? What on earth are you doing here?” Luo Fei gritted her teeth in anger. This damned woman just won't leave me alone!
• “Obviously, I'm here to audition for the movie. I should get some tips from you, superstar Luo.” Ning Ran smiled at her with a cold look in her eyes.
• “Don't even think about starring in The Sound of Thunder 2! You get the hell out of here right now!”
• Ning Ran couldn't figure out why Luo Fei got so anxious whenever she saw her. Even if she made it through the audition, she wouldn't replace Luo Fei's role as the female lead anyway.
• “Unfortunately, you're not the director. You don't call the shots here. The more you try to stop me, the more certain I am to act in it.”
• Luo Fei's face twisted.
• It's only been five years and this b**** Ning Ran has gotten so much more annoying. Back then, all it took was just a little threat to shut her up.
• Luo Fei was about to continue when her phone rang suddenly.
• On the phone, Wang Xiaoou told her that the sponsor's representative would arrive soon and urged her to get changed quickly.
• Luo Fei's heart wrenched. Unfortunately for her, Nan Chen was the one coming over.
• She mustn't let Ning Ran show up before him at any cost.
• Things would go really bad for her if the two met each other. Then Ning Ran would be suspicious about her children’s looks which bore resemblance to Nan Chen.
• With her phone gripped tightly in her hand, she looked at Ning Ran who had just left. Only then, she let out a chilling smile.
• As Ning Ran walked around, a man approached her, “Hi, are you here for the audition?”
• Ning Ran was very alert. She glanced through the guy's staff ID and nodded only after she was certain about his identity.
• “Then please come with me.”
• As they walked further, the surrounding became quieter as well.
• Ning Ran was about to ask him something when the man suddenly turned around and covered her nose and mouth with a wet handkerchief.
