Chapter 487: 452 Hua City Wrap Party 2 (Second Update)

Bai Simen and Li Fei left, and it was only then that Shen Tian emerged from the partition.

Shen Tian knew very well that since those words came from Bai Simen’s mouth, they were very likely to be true.

Still, Shen Tian made a call to Ye Sichen.

There was a long pause before Ye Sichen answered the call, "Hello, Shen Tian, what is it now?"

Following her agent’s advice, Shen Tian had already made it clear that she and Ye Sichen were no more than friends.

They were merely acquaintances now.

So, Ye Sichen was impatient with Shen Tian and didn’t want to answer the call, but this woman kept calling.

Ye Family was in trouble themselves; his parents had been busy dealing with it all, which made Ye Sichen see Shen Tian’s true nature.

By comparison, Ye Sichen often thought that if he hadn’t slapped Tang Su back then, and if Tang Su were still his girlfriend, she definitely wouldn’t have abandoned him during his family’s toughest time, indifferent to his plight.

It goes to show, his parents’ judgment was better than his.

But now, there was no turning back.

"Sichen, there is something, about Tang Su." Shen Tian could understand why Ye Sichen’s attitude towards her was not good, but she didn’t call to bother him about her own matters.

"What is it, tell me." Ye Sichen’s tone softened a bit.

"Tang Su isn’t as poor as you think. She has three sources of income. Besides the bookstore and the coffee shop, she writes books on her own. Moreover, she has published them and even had a TV series adapted from one. The TV series ’First Love’ is based on her novel. Did you know about this?"

"...No, I didn’t," Ye Sichen said after a pause.

He genuinely didn’t know; when had Tang Su ever written a novel?

Although he wasn’t familiar with that, he had seen the news; after a novel was adapted into a TV series, even if it earned little, it could still make millions, right?

Besides, Tang Su has both a book release and a TV series adaptation.

Moreover, Shen Tian said that if ’First Love’ was the novel written by Tang Su, then there had long been rumors to adapt it into a TV series.

That meant, Tang Su had a substantial sum as her dowry long before.

But, Tang Su never told him about it.

That meant she had been keeping secrets from the start, didn’t it?

"Her affairs are none of my business; there’s no need to call me about her," and with that, Ye Sichen hung up the call.

Shen Tian: "..."

Shen Tian felt distressed, too.

She always thought that Tang Su got lucky to encounter Lu Han, who turned out to be a wealthy heir in hiding.

It was only now that she realized that even if Tang Su wasn’t with Lu Han, she could lead a good life on her own merits.

Why could Tang Su be so outstanding?

And why did fate let her find out only now that Tang Su was the original author of that TV series? Had she known earlier, for her career, she would have definitely abandoned Ye Sichen sooner and fostered a good relationship with Tang Su.

That way, her lead actress role wouldn’t have been snatched away by some young girl kept by a financier.

That’s just how luck works.

After composing her emotions, Shen Tian finally headed to the hall where the banquet was being held.

By the time Shen Tian arrived, Tang Su and Lu Han were already there. Just as Bai Simen promised, she had introduced Tang Su and Li Fei to each other.

Currently, Li Fei was chatting up Tang Su like a little fan, talking about this and that.

Tang Su hadn’t expected the young girl to be so talkative, but fortunately, she could respond to any topic Li Fei brought up.

Li Fei was quite adorable, and Tang Su felt a little pity for her; how did she end up in that kind of relationship with someone surnamed He?

Since Mr. He doesn’t have a wife, then she could develop their relationship into a normal romantic one.

Who knows what that girl is really thinking.

"Li Fei is just like that, if she really likes you, she’ll talk a bit more with you. Usually, she doesn’t speak to the other actors she works with."

"Yeah, it’s fine, thanks for the affection," Tang Su said with a smile.

Once everyone arrived, Bai Dingkai made the event quite ceremonial—finally having Tang Su speak about her original inspiration and mood when creating the novel.

Tang Su was straightforward—she had written the novel in college and had long forgotten the original inspiration and mood behind the story. However, she was very appreciative that everyone liked the story.

As a novelist, you’re really just telling a story. Meeting people who like your story makes the author extremely happy.

In addition, she thanked Bai Simen and Bai Dingkai, saying they were her patrons, the patrons of the novel, the patrons of Bai Qiao.

The sound of applause filled the entire restaurant, ceaseless and echoing.

After Tang Su had said her piece, she returned to the main seat of today’s wrap party, and the banquet began. Li Fei, pulling Tang Su aside, asked, "Sister Tang Su, what will you write for your next project?"

Tang Su shook her head, "I’m not sure yet, and besides, I haven’t written anything for a while. I’ve been quite busy recently, so I probably won’t have time to start a new story for the time being."

"Sister Tang Su is already married, and after the New Year, she will be having her wedding ceremony. Our filming has caused her bookstore and coffee shop to close for such a long time, and they’re re-opening the day after tomorrow, so she is indeed very busy," Bai Dingkai said to Li Fei.

At first, he wasn’t too impressed with this young girl getting the lead role through a man’s help, but after filming in Hua City, he started to believe what Bai Simen said: Li Fei could become popular.

She is young, but her acting skills are no deception.

She has talent, and Bai Dingkai couldn’t deny it. He had to admit that Bai Simen’s judgment was quite good.

"Oh, oh, oh, that’s right, make sure to invite me when Sister Tang Su and Lu Han have their wedding," Li Fei implored.

"I’ll promise on their behalf," Bai Simen quickly replied. "Just remember to get Mr. He to give a big red envelope."

Bai Simen: "..."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. As soon as Bai Dingkai mentioned He Jingtian, He Jingtian’s call came through to Li Fei.

Knowing they had finished shooting in Hua City, He Jingtian wrapped up his work and came to pick her up.

Li Fei’s face, previously beaming with joy, turned serious upon seeing He Jingtian’s incoming call; she was having a good time dining with Tang Su and the others.

She was He Jingtian’s captive canary, but this canary longed for freedom.

Does that uncle He Jingtian even understand?

In the end, Li Fei dared not ignore He Jingtian’s call, "Hello? Uncle——"

"...Where are you?" At first frowning upon hearing the young girl’s address, He Jingtian asked with a deep voice afterward.

"At the hotel, having dinner. Have you arrived in Hua City?"

"Hmm, send me the location. Come out in ten minutes."

"..."

Once he finished speaking, He Jingtian hung up. Li Fei pouted, unhappily ending the call, then grabbed some Sichuan pepper chicken and devoured several pieces.

"This restaurant’s Sichuan pepper chicken is really good. Could I take a portion to go? The production will cover it, right?" she asked Bai Dingkai.

"Sure, pack up whatever you want. Go ahead," Bai Dingkai agreed readily.

"Thanks, Boss Bai. Then I’ll take my leave soon; Old He is here to pick me up."

"Hmm."

After Li Fei left, Shen Tian took a bottle of red wine, picked up her glass, and walked over to the main table, nonchalantly sitting down where Li Fei had just been.
