Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Raising a Star (9)

“Lan Ling.”

Just as Lan Ling and Chuzheng entered, someone called out to Lan Ling.

Chuzheng turned her head for a glance and saw a young man dressed in a dark-colored shirt, holding his coat over his arm. His face was solemn, he didn’t look like an artist, and he didn’t even seem like someone from the industry…

“You go ahead.” Lan Ling told Chuzheng to go in first.

“Okay.”

Chuzheng went in alone.

Indeed, there were many artists at the cocktail party, and there were quite a few familiar faces.

There were also some big-name stars present at this time.

“Chuzheng.”

Jian Dan, with a girl on his arm, came out of the crowd.

The girl looked at Chuzheng curiously, “Dan Dan, you know her?”

Jian Dan smiled, “A friend, let me talk to her for a minute. You go ahead.”

“Okay.”

The girl seemed not to belong to the circle, and she didn’t recognize her.

Jian Dan’s family was actually quite wealthy, and he was quite a match for Chu Anyang.

Why Chu Anyang had to keep Jian Dan hidden was beyond comprehension.

This question was something the original host never understood until her death.

“Chi Chuzheng, how dare you come here?” As soon as the girl left, Little White Rabbit’s face changed.

Chuzheng’s eyebrows were cold, “What’s it to you?”

Little White Rabbit snorted coldly, “Chi Chuzheng, I’m warning you, you have nothing to do with Anyang anymore, and you’re not allowed to appear in front of him again.”

“I also don’t hope to see him in front of me,” Chuzheng agreed.

It makes me want to get rid of him.

Jian Dan was somewhat suspicious.

He didn’t know if what Chuzheng was saying was true or false.

“If I find out that you’re still entangled with Anyang, I will not let you off easily.”

After saying this, Jian Dan’s face returned to its sweet smile.

Chuzheng: “…”

How quickly this face has changed.

Did she graduate from a Sichuan Opera troupe?

Jian Dan had barely turned around when someone suddenly bumped into her.

The red wine they held spilled out, heading straight for Chuzheng.

But Chuzheng, quick and agile, dodged, and the entire cup of wine ended up on Jian Dan’s back.

“Ah…”

A soft gasp arose from the crowd.

Jian Dan was wearing a white dress, and the red wine soaked her back, staining it red.

You can imagine how embarrassing it must have been.

Jian Dan stiffly turned her head.

Chuzheng, expressionless, pointed at the woman who had spilled the wine.

It was her doing.

It has nothing to do with me, alright!

Although… I was just thinking about finding someone to deal with you.

“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry,” the wine-spiller hastily apologized, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

The woman also gave Chuzheng a covert glare, How could her reaction be so quick?

Jian Dan shook her head with a wronged look but was forced to show magnanimity and forgive, “It’s okay.”

Jian Dan’s friend noticed something was amiss and quickly came to take her to change clothes.

The commotion wasn’t very loud, so not many paid attention to the incident.

Jian Dan discreetly left, and the people nearby quickly lost interest.

Chuzheng stared at a certain spot for a few seconds, then her gaze slowly shifted to the woman who had spilled the wine.

The woman didn’t hide her malice, “Chi Chuzheng, you sure dodged that quite swiftly.”

“Speed determines destiny,” Chuzheng said calmly.

“Oh, for a Xiao San like you to say such words,” the woman sneered with a chuckle, “That’s really rare.”

The original host remembered this woman, a follower of Wen Yanyu.

Who’s Wen Yanyu?

Wen Yanyu is Chu Anyang’s fiancée.

The original host wasn’t clear on whether the two were officially engaged or not, but Wen Yanyu always assumed the role of the fiancée.

Wen Yanyu considered the original host to be the Xiao San who stole Chu Anyang and tried every possible means to deal with her.

Chuzheng looked back and indeed saw Wen Yanyu not far away.

She was holding a champagne flute and stood there like the center of the universe, dazzling and brilliant.

Chuzheng said, “I will have a talk with Wen Yanyu.”

The woman crossed her arms and sneered with disdain, “What gives you the right to talk to Yanyu?”

Chuzheng gave her a sidelong glance, “Can you represent Wen Yanyu?”

Her voice was like pearls and jade falling onto a dish, clear, but without warmth.

The woman was startled by Chuzheng’s gaze, her crossed arms falling to her sides as hesitance took root within her.

–

“What do you want to talk about?”

Wen Yanyu sized up the person before her.

A woman’s intuition told her that this woman was different from before.

The look in her eyes, her expression, her presence…all had changed.

Online, they said she had broken up with Chu Anyang. Since they had split, Wen Yanyu didn’t need to bother with her anymore.

What had happened earlier was just her entourage acting on their own accord.

Chuzheng took a drink from a passing waiter and took a sip, “Let’s talk about who Chu Anyang likes.”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Make rational use of all available resources.

“…” Bullshit! You just want to save yourself some trouble, right? No, I told you to blow cash, so why are you once again scheming in the dark?

Can’t this household just spend money without issues?

The King’s Account felt like exploding right there.

“…” Wen Yanyu’s face darkened, “What, are you trying to tell me that, even though you and he have split up, he still likes you?”

“He never liked me,” Chuzheng replied, “Did you mistake someone else?”

Wen Yanyu’s brows furrowed slightly, “What do you mean?”

“Better to see for yourself than to hear from others.” Chuzheng tapped her fingertip on the glass, “Want to see?”

I’ll take you to see something exciting!

Wen Yanyu was skeptical.

But it involved Chu Anyang, so Wen Yanyu couldn’t refuse.

“I must see what tricks you’re playing today.”

Chuzheng led Wen Yanyu to follow her.

–

“I’m sorry, ladies, there has been a minor accident upstairs, and you are not allowed to go up. If you need to use the resting room, please take the elevator to the floor above, there will be a resting room.”

Chuzheng and Wen Yanyu were politely stopped at the bottom of the stairs by the hotel staff.

Chuzheng: “…”

This is awkward, my dude.

Wen Yanyu’s beautiful eyes fixed on Chuzheng, “What exactly do you want me to see? Are you playing me for a fool?”

“There’s nothing about you worth playing with,” Chuzheng replied icily.

Wen Yanyu: “…”

“Miss, just go bankrupt already.” The King’s Account spoke up before Chuzheng could start hitting someone, “Main mission: Please purchase Aiden Hotel within one hour.”

Chuzheng: “…”

I am a big shot.

I need to stay calm.

Can’t lose my temper.

But I really want to kick someone!

Chuzheng turned to call Lan Ling.

“Do you know any of the executives at Aiden?”

Before Lan Ling could respond, Chuzheng had already thrown that question at her.

“Aiden’s executives?” Lan Ling was puzzled, “What do you need that information for?”

She wasn’t inquiring about the executives of Fanluoya, but a hotel’s instead?

Chuzheng’s tone was serious and stern, “To buy the hotel.”

“…”

Lan Ling seemed to have choked on water.

Chuzheng: “…” Is what I said funny?

Buying the hotel, I’m serious!

“Miss Chi, what do you need a hotel for?” Lan Ling changed her form of address, “Have you been drinking?”

“I have money.”

“You are an artist,” Lan Ling emphasized, as if to remind her.

Even with money, you can’t just buy a hotel!

Your family doesn’t own mines!

“Artists aren’t allowed to have money? Or is it that they can’t buy hotels?” Chuzheng asked, “Do you know them or not? I’m in a hurry.”

Lan Ling: “…”

She had only stepped away for a moment.

What on earth had her artist gone through?!
