The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Chapter 998: This Woman Was Truly Enthralling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hu Kaizhuang liked celebrities who were precisely like Yang Ling. They had sweet tongues and knew how to flatter people.

Hu Kaizhuang said, “Precisely. I’m going to make a huge investment soon. Initially, I wanted her to participate since she won the award so that she could earn a bit of money and fame to add to what she already had. But seeing that she’s actually so arrogant, I’m not planning to give her the role.”

The moment Yang Ling heard that it was a huge investment, her eyes immediately brightened.

But she had heard such big talk way too often. These people would talk about their recent investments for no reason. However, very few of them actually invested.

But it was better to make a wrong judgment than to let an opportunity slip by. Who knew when she would chance upon such an opportunity?

She immediately asked, “What big production? The big production that Mr. Hu is talking about must be very impressive.”

Seeing Yang Ling’s behavior, Hu Kaizhuang knew what she was thinking. It was a pity that he had seen way too many women like her. Although he liked the feeling of being placed on a pedestal by them, he also lost interest when they actually started flattering him.

He smiled and said, “Sure. We must definitely collaborate if there’s a chance.”

He moved closer to her and groped her buttocks.

Everyone in the industry knew that Yang Ling was a slut.

It was fine for him to take advantage of her a little.

He had heard that she would even sleep around for no reason, but he did not know if this was true or false.

Yang Ling whined in a very coquettish manner. Since she had already been taken advantage of, she could leave it at that. However, she would not casually offer herself up either as she did not know if the investment was real or not.

She merely looked at Hu Kaizhuang, leaned in, and said, “Lin Che is arrogant only because those three bodyguards following her around are brilliant. What’s more, she runs her own studio and has many resources too, so she likes to look down on people. Without those bodyguards, she would be a coward too.”

Hu Kaizhuang scoffed. “It’s just a studio.”

He was one of those foolish but wealthy types. He figured it would only take a few million in capital to register the studio. It was nothing really.

Yang Ling looked at his proud manner. She scoffed and did not say anything further.

If he actually dared to lay a hand on Lin Che, of course, she would sit idle and enjoy the fruits of his labor if anything happened. She would be delighted. Even if nothing happened, she would not be responsible for it either. So, of course, she dared to say it since it was just one sentence.

Yang Ling left in a sultry fashion. Hu Kaizhuang stood there and thought about how Lin Che looked.

Although Yang Ling was a celebrity, she truly could not compare to Lin Che. No wonder she was not as popular as Lin Che was.

The loftier a woman’s aura, the more she could trigger one’s desire to conquer her. In comparison, those whom he could casually touch became quite boring. As a result, even if Yang Ling often attended dinner gatherings and knew many people, she couldn’t have so many resources because everyone had had their way with her and she was no longer a novelty. What useful resources would they give her?

However, it seemed that he had never heard about her attend any dinner gatherings. He had also never heard anyone say that they had slept with her.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this female celebrity Lin Che was impressively mysterious. The more mysterious a woman was, and the more prim and proper she was, the more interested he was in her.

When he thought about it, Yang Ling was, in fact, not as beautiful as Lin Che. He wanted to touch Lin Che’s face just by looking at it. It was smooth and tender and looked just like egg white, which was white and soft. As for people like Yang Ling, he could even see the surgical scars on her face. What fun was there?

Nan Gongyu ate together with Lin Che until the reporters asked the two of them to go and take photographs. Only then did the two of them pick up their two little gold men and head outside to the special location to take photographs.

The two of them went over to take photographs. Nan Gongyu looked at Lin Che. “If I remember correctly, you can drink a bit of alcohol, right?”

“...”

Lin Che said, “I just don’t want to drink right now. That’s all.”

However, Nan Gongyu looked at her doubtfully. In a very shrewd manner, he scrutinized her all-around before finally fixing his eyes on her stomach. “Hey, you... you wore flats today and you didn’t drink either. It’s a bit strange.”

Lin Che glared fiercely at him. Then, she said threateningly, “None of your business.”

Nan Gongyu smiled and immediately said with a sharp gaze, “It can’t be that you’re planning to take a break for some time after this and temporarily stop acting, right? I actually have a movie in the works...”

“...”

Lin Che really wanted to kick him so that he would spout less nonsense.

However, just then, the reporters came here again.

Nan Gongyu looked as if he was concealing his achievements and his reputation. He seemed to have understood something and nodded his head profoundly.

The reporters gathered around them, smiling, and looking at the two of them. “Both of you look like you’re on very good terms. Are you friends? Do you contact each other in private?”

Lin Che smiled while Nan Gongyu said, “We have private get-togethers sometimes because we’re friends. These days, friends don’t have to stick together all the time. We help each other out when needed and we get along very well too. Conversation flows easily between us. Treating each other genuinely as friends is enough, right?”

He was speaking in very practical terms. Friends these days were indeed like this.

Lin Che said, “My point exactly. It’s quite nice for us to be friends this way. If we really were to stick together all the time, it could turn into a world war. Thus, it’s better for us to maintain some distance. That way, our friendship will be more harmonious.”

Hearing this, the reporters laughed even more.

Around them, other people were witnessing this scene. As they looked at the two of them, they actually felt for a moment that they were quite a suitable pair as well.

One was a director and the other was an actress. The director was now a prominent director and the actress was an A-list celebrity too. They even had such great chemistry when they spoke to one another and were so humorous. How well-matched they were.

“Do you think the two of them are together?”

“That’s normal. Otherwise, why would he give Lin Che such a good role? Furthermore, the male lead didn’t even get a chance to shine. It was entirely the female lead who was given the chance to shine. Even outside of the production, he flatters Lin Che so much.”

“Seriously, this Lin Che has men liking her wherever she goes.”

“Ha. Maybe she merely slept with the director. Why are you speculating?”

Beside them, Hu Kaizhuang heard this too. The more he looked at Nan Gongyu and Lin Che, the more he felt that they seemed to have slept together before. Nan Gongyu looked just like a gigolo and was, of course, different from him. He thought to himself a little unhappily that Nan Gongyu was merely a little more handsome and was a director.

The directors had slept with all these huge celebrities. It genuinely made him envious and jealous.

His heart itched and he persistently felt that Lin Che looked more and more beautiful.

She gave off an alluring vibe.

Lin Che was still unaware that someone at the side was fantasizing about her. When the afterparty hit its midway mark, she could no longer withstand it. She looked around and wanted to give Gu Jingze a call. She wanted to ask him where he was as she wanted to go and look for him.

She walked out with her phone in hand. Dongzi and the others trailed after her as well, carefully reminding her to walk a little slower.

She was just about to call when she heard someone call out her name behind her again.

She whipped her head around only to see Hu Kaizhuang making his way towards her.

“Miss Lin, why are you walking so quickly?”

Just then, beside her, Dongzi immediately stopped him.

But they did not expect the sound of gunshots at this moment. Her personal guards immediately turned vigilant. However, it was a little too late. The bullets were shot directly at their legs.
