Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 179: Empress

“That fatty, Yan Xiongli is almost as fat as a pig. His eyes are like slits and anyone can tell he isn’t someone good. That Fatty Yan that we met while we were filming for Love and Tribulations.”

“Oh, him.” Yan Huan knew who it was then. Fatty Yan.

“Yes, him. He has been arrested.” Yi Ling took some chips and stuffed them into her mouth. Anyway, he had no relations with them and she wasn’t especially concerned about it. However, this news did surprise her.

“Tsk, this fellow has used his influence in exchange for sexual favours to bring up so many female stars.’ Yan Huan used her phone to check and many of them were incredibly surprising. A lot of them were famous and have left the entertainment industry in a craze.

Yan Huan suddenly paused. If this has been dug out, could there be her in it?

She leaned to one side and took out her phone. After taking a deep breath, she started searching for it. She was incredibly afraid of the headline: Newbie actress Yan Huan rescued after attempting suicide. Even though Fatty Yan didn’t succeed, this was a scandal involving her. She couldn’t imagine if this thing has been dug out, the damage it could cause to her.

She was evidently the victim, but if anything spread, she wasn’t sure what version would it be.

After searching for a long time, she was relieved that there was no mention of her name. She even felt that this thing couldn’t be linked to her at all.

She should trust Lu Yi. Since he had said that he would take care of it, then she couldn’t possibly be dragged into it.

She had forgotten about his rigorous attitude. He would calculate every small detail and all his emotions and thoughts were organised carefully. This was his means while handling a case and he couldn’t possibly miss out anything. Just like anyone who has been prosecuted by him, none of them can escape. He was the best at organising, and he had a clear train of thought. His mind was calm and whatever it was, Yan Huan had never seen a calmer person than him in her two lives. Even if the world were to fall apart in front of him, he wouldn’t blink.

Hence, she should be safe from Fatty Yan’s case. No matter how many people were involved in this case, how many female stars, how famous they were or not, she wasn’t a part of them.

His case did involve many people and could be considered a disaster in the entertainment industry. Some of them were famous individuals and even the rising stars of the different entertainment companies. This incident left many in the industry insecure and its effect in the entertainment industry would be far reaching for a long period of time. Everyone would be worried that they will be dragged into it.

For those who had never done such a thing before, they would have nothing to worry. But for those who had done it before, whether it was with Fatty Yan or not, they would not dare show their face in public. This has left the entertainment industry in a despondent mood for a long time.

Yan Huan still decided on the palace drama in the end, it was titled: Palace imperial Concubine.

At this point of time, she had some backing already. She was no longer who she was in the past when she attended open auditions and was placed behind 50 over people. Or even behind 100 over people. There were many people here who had fame and backing that was able to get to the front. She used to always be at the back and the further behind she was in line for audition, the more she was at a disadvantage

The directors could be tired of all the pretty faces that they have seen, or they might have already chosen who they wanted. Many of them at the back were there as fodder. Yan Huan’s luck was decent and even though she had no backing or any piece of work to show, she had a flair for acting. Of course, a little luck was needed for her to have the achievements she has today.

Because she already has some fame now, she wouldn’t need to wait in line and could audition directly.

However when she opened the door to enter, she saw a young woman who was in the midst of auditioning. The woman immediately looked defensive the moment she entered.

Yan Huan wasn’t foreign to this feeling. After all, she had been stopped a few times like this in the past too. It was supposed to be her turn to audition but someone else appeared out of nowhere.

“Yan Huan, you are here.” The director of this palace drama was Tao Zhengshan. However calling him Director Tao didn’t sound good so they called him Director Zheng instead. His forte was in long dramas like those with more than 100 episodes. He had filmed many such dramas and he had even readapted the 4 classical Chinese novels before. This drama has more than 100 episodes and not only will there be a huge cast, there are many investors for the show too.

Of course he knew Yan Huan. He had a good relationship with Director Jin and he had specifically recommended Yan Huan for this show. To let Director Jin who usually has a bad temper to remember an actress and to compliment her, it wasn’t something easy. Of course, Yan Huan’s performance in Director Jin’s show was commendable and can even be described as exemplary.

Hence if there were no hiccups, Yan Huan is supposed to be part of the cast, However, which role she would like to act is dependent on her. So long as she wasn’t eyeing the first female lead, he could accept any other role. He believed that she would put on a good performance in this long drama.

“Hello director.” Yan Huan gave Director Zheng a bow.

“Yes. Hi, hi.” Director Zheng was all smiles. “That’s right, what role have you chosen? Let’s discuss this in detail.” He liked people who could act as well as a capable actress.

Yan Huan blinked. She thought she was here to audition for a role. It turned out she wasn’t here to audition, she was here to walk by the back door.

With Director Zheng’s words, she had kicked up hate and jealousy within the lady who was auditioning right before.

Yan Huan gave a small sigh in her heart. She had no other intentions really and would never vie for a role with her.

“Miss Yan have you considered it? If you hadn’t it is fine too, you can take your time to consider.”

This attitude almost made Yan Huan feel like Director Zheng was gathering hate for her. Luckily, she had decided not to act the part of the princess or concubine.

“Director, I have decided.” Yan Huan smiled and ignored the look of hatred in the lady’s eyes. She had seen such a look at the Lu’s house many times before and she was completely immune to it. She ignored it completely.

“Alright.” Director Zheng was still smiling, “Which one?”

“Empress.” Yan Huan said bashfully.
