Chapter 55 Falling In Love With Her...



The directors who were lined up at the table sucked their breaths as they were too stunned to talk. They never thought that Director Zhao could be so direct towards Ran Xueyi.

The fact that Ran Xueyi went in hiding from the spotlight six years ago weren\'t that hidden from some people. Amongst these people were the directors who worked with Ran Xueyi or have connections with both the Yang and Ran family.

At that time, Ran Xueyi didn\'t know that the two families were already spinning lies and making her dance on top of their palms so she was swayed by their words and didn\'t think too much about their actions. However, thinking back to it now... There were probably some people who have already known about her circumstances in the past and had been mocking her and treating her as a laughing stock during past times to unwind.

And Director Zhao must be one of them.

Director Lan stared at Director Zhao before turning to look at Ran Xueyi, who was standing in the middle of the stage in front of them.

As for right now, he doesn\'t care about how many new and veteran actresses were to audition and stand there in front. He just wanted to see how would Ran Xueyi response to what Director Zhao said.

Everyone was thinking the same thing. Even if Director Zhao were to insult Ran Xueyi in front of everyone else, she can\'t possibly try to talk back and go against Director Zhao, who was one of the main directors of the movie where she wanted to audition for a role. If she angers him, forget about getting a role in this movie, she might not even get a single role from the directors and producers that Director Zhao had some connections with.

Now... Miss Ran, what are you going to do?

"Director Zhao, you\'re wrong about two things from three points you just pointed out." Ran Xueyi smiled sweetly at everyone, seemingly not noticing how everyone\'s eyes were growing larger as they couldn\'t contain their shock.

Did...did she just correct Director Zhao?

Director Chi looked at his assistant and the latter swallowed hard from nervousness.

This was really bad... It\'s the end... Director Chi thought as he looked at his assistant who also looked as if he was devastated at the situation.

On the other hand, Director Lan kept watching her. Unlike others, he had this small inkling that this wasn\'t the end.

And just as he expected, Ran Xueyi continued speaking.

"What do you mean by that, Miss Ran?" Director Zhao\'s face turned darker as he almost couldn\'t contain his anger.

Ran Xueyi smiled even brighter as she replied, "First, I didn\'t retire. I never held a press conference for my retirement and merely announced I was planning to lead a peaceful and quiet life. It was true that I was planning to get married before but now... It isn\'t part of my plan anymore. And second, I am not a prisoner in a bird cage and this isn\'t the era of the three kingdoms. I don\'t need anyone\'s permissions to go out and do what I want just because of a man."

After Ram Xueyi spoke, the room was in an uproar.

They never thought that she would bravely talk back towards Director Zhao and even corrected every wrong points he said earlier to her.

Everyone thought that everything was over. OVER! Ran Xueyi\'s chance to get the role from the director\'s niece was slipping away as they were speaking right now. They all could only shake their heads in disappointment as they didn\'t expect her to go against the director.

Ran Xueyi used her eyes to glance around the room. She already knew that things wouldn\'t be so favorable for her after she corrected Director Zhao. However, she couldn\'t hold back anymore. Not now, not ever!

She was no longer the Ran Xueyi everyone was thinking of controlling, treating her as a puppet to her family and to her fiance. She was a brand new woman who survived it all, moved on, and soon, she will soar high in the sky like a fiery Phoenix, burning everything that was on sight.

There was nothing for her to be afraid of now. She\'s got herself to depend on. Besides... She\'s got her husband to rely on when things get too troublesome!

\'pa!\'

As everyone was waiting for Director Zhao to burst out in anger and ask the guards to drag her outside, a round of claps could be heard like a thunder in a stormy night.

The whole room was silent as they ended up looking at those slender fingers that were clapping still.

It turned out that those hands belonged to Director Lan.

"Director Lan, what is the meaning of this?" Director Zhao was displeased by the sound of his clapping hands.

He and Director Lan wasn\'t close to each other and the former was very antagonistic towards the latter. And now that Director Lan clapped his hand as if he was watching an award-winning play in front of him after seeing the other being humiliated like this, Director Zhao\'s dislike towards this young director intensified.

Director Lan shrugged and said, "Hm? I\'m just too impressed. Just now, I think I\'m falling in love with her..."

Everyone gasped once they heard what he had just said.

Even Ran Xueyi couldn\'t help herself but be surprised at him. However, it only took her a second to recover.

"...Isn\'t that right, Peng Qingling?"

Director Lan turned towards the woman who had been silent the whole day. She was sitting right beside Director Lan and wasn\'t listening to him at all until he called her name.

Peng Qingling bit her lower lip and stared at Ran Xueyi, almost ravenously. Her thoughts were many but unknown.

After being called out, Peng Qingling vigorously nodded her head in agreement. Then, before Director Zhao could stop her, she said while slapping her hand on the table, "That\'s right! Directors I think we can wrap today\'s audition for this role..."

"Peng Qingling, don\'t be too hasty! Besides, we already decided who will play the role of the second leading actress!" Director Zhao interrupted.

Peng Qingling squinted her eyes into a glare and she glared at him, "Director Zhao, I am not being hasty. And yes, you already decided on who to play the role... But did I, the author of the novel, agree to it? Or is it that you can pick but I can\'t?"

"Where is the fairness in there, hm?" Peng Qingling challenged.

...

Author has something to say: Guess, our FL got another mother hens? XD
