Chapter 1146: White Roses

Translator: Yunyi

When she was still in school, the young master of the Huo Family was the dream lover of many girls, and he was proud and arrogant.

In fact, Huo Ningxi was a big reason why Song Jingwan always targeted Song Yaoyao.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter again.

Song Yaoyao began to prepare for her new project.

This time, she was preparing to shoot a story about a general and an entertainer. It contained battles on the battlefield, but also tenderness, and it was a manly movie. That’s right, it was a movie.

After filming two TV series, Song Yaoyao finally decided to start filming a movie.

Before filming started, she had made a lot of preparations. Just her notes alone were enough to write a few books. And she constantly asked for Kang Yuan’s opinion.

On the day of the auditions, Song Yaoyao saw someone that she did not expect.

Zhongli Xue…

“Here for the audition?”

Song Yaoyao flipped through the script and looked at Zhongli Xue who was wearing a red coat. She was not quite used to it.

From her limited memory, Zhongli Xue had always dressed plainly and had a cold temperament as if she didn’t care about anything.

Now that she was suddenly dressed like this, Song Yaoyao could guess which role she wanted to try out.

The female lead, Xiao Man.

“Xiao Man.”

Sure enough, Zhongli Xue responded softly with this name.

Xu Yue pushed up her glasses. This was a new pair that apparently made her look more professional and more mature, and it made things easier for her. The way she dressed at work was also more mature.

Tang Xinrou had gone overseas to film while she stayed behind to interview with Song Yaoyao.

“I know you.” It was obvious that Xu Yue recognized Zhongli Xue. “I remember that you rejected the opportunity to debut before. I’m very curious, what changed your mind and made you choose to enter the entertainment industry again?”

Zhongli Xue pursed her lips. She slowly looked up and met Song Yaoyao’s eyes. “I want my brother to see it.”

She was not inferior to Lily, and she could do very well.

Song Yaoyao casually pointed at a paragraph and handed it to Zhongli Xue. “Since it’s an audition, let’s begin. I only care about acting skills here.”

Xu Yue did not say a word. She crossed her arms and watched Zhongli Xue take off his coat. She took a deep breath.

She looked at the script and was silent for a few minutes. Then, she relied on her own understanding to start her performance.

The camera was turned on and recorded her entire performance.

Xiao Man was the woman that the general saved on the battlefield. She was versatile and beautiful. She was a captive of the enemy country and almost became a military prostitute.

It was the general who saved her.

The two of them had feelings for each other during their interactions, but at the same time, Xiao Man’s feelings were also complicated. This was her lover and also her enemy…

He saved her, but he was the main culprit that led to her tragic fate.

Every night, Xiao Man wanted to kill him with her own hands, but she couldn’t bear to do so.

However, she didn’t know that the general knew everything. He knew that she had hatred in her heart and that her real identity was the princess of an enemy country.

Back before the two countries broke out into war, the general had been ordered by the emperor to escort the princess to their country for marriage, and he had caught a glimpse of her from afar.

…

However, during the audition, in order to prevent the plot from being leaked, they did not give out the entire script.

They only picked a small part for the actors to perform.

Zhongli Xue’s performance surprised Song Yaoyao and Xu Yue. She had a vibrant energy; a gift bestowed upon her by heaven. With her own understanding, she showed a different Xiao Man.

“I’ll take your performance into consideration. If you pass the audition, I’ll inform you. Next.”

Zhongli Xue stood still and she paused for two seconds.

She seemed to have something difficult to say to Song Yaoyao. “Please—”

Song Yaoyao’s hand that was flipping through the script paused.

Was this considered a request?

…

“What do you think?”

After a day, Xu Yue was completely exhausted. Auditioning was not a job that anyone could do.

Originally, this kind of work could have been left to the assistant director, but Song Yaoyao insisted on doing everything herself.

Among the people who came to audition, there were many whose acting skills hurt the eyes.

Xu Yue’s eyes and ears had suffered a lot.

She stretched lazily and asked Song Yaoyao for her opinion.

“We will continue tomorrow.”

“What?!” Xu Yue was dumbstruck and her stretch froze halfway. “You’re still going to audition tomorrow? What about Zhongli Xue? You don’t plan to use her?”

She saw that Song Yaoyao clearly approved of her acting skills.

Song Yaoyao gave an ambiguous smile. “We’ll see.”

She packed her things, stood up, and left.

Outside the door, a flashy and luxurious supercar was parked by the sidewalk. It was rush hour, and people would stop to watch from time to time, their eyes flashing with envy.

Inspiring quotes online often said that as long as one worked hard, one would be able to own the house and car of their dreams. But these words were just to deceive those who had not left school yet; children who still had innocent ideals.

After entering the real society, they would find out that the dream house and car that they spent half their lives working for, were just casual purchases for rich people. For example, they might drive their cars once, lose interest in it and leave it in the garage to gather dust.

Inspirational quotes were based on the fact that everyone was equal; as long as you worked hard, anything was possible.

But the reality was that some people were not born with certain things and they would never get them in their lifetime.

This truth was not pleasant to hear, but it was reality.

Song Yaoyao’s hat was almost swept away by the cold wind blowing against her face. She hurriedly pressed down on her hat and sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Miss Song, we meet again.”

The car door opened and the first thing that came into view was a pair of slender legs.

Song Yaoyao heard the exclamations of the passersby beside her, as if they were praising something.

Song Yaoyao looked towards the sound and unconsciously frowned.

It was Zhong Li.

“Mr. Zhong Li.”

“It seems that Miss Song has not forgotten me. It’s my honor.”

Zhong Li walked to Song Yaoyao’s side, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

Song Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and looked at him coldly. “My memory isn’t that bad.”

“Of course. I didn’t mean that. I’m just happy.” Zhong Li was surprised, and a helpless look appeared on his handsome face. He elegantly handed the bouquet over. “This is for you.”

It was a pure white bouquet of roses and the rich fragrance immediately entered Song Yaoyao’s nose when it came close.

“I’m sorry, Miss Song never accepts anything from outsiders.”

Huo Jiu placed an arm between Song Yaoyao and Zhong Li, and smiled politely, but a cold light flashed in his eyes behind his glasses.

“No matter what Mr. Zhong Li’s intentions are, I think I’ll have to disappoint you. I still have something to do, goodbye.”

After saying this, Song Yaoyao walked past him and headed towards her car.
