CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: THE SECRET FROM FIVE YEARS AGO

EDITOR: ATLAS STUDIOS

Staring at the face that hasn’t changed at all in five years.

Shi Yunyin clenched her fist silently.

Shi Su not only survived, but despite such a big fire back then, didn’t even get disfigured?

Seeing that person from years ago, Shi Su’s face showed no particularly obvious emotions, only a cold look at this former... her own younger sister.

After Jun mentioned the special guest appearance the other day, she knew Shi Yunyin would appear in this play, but she had carefully reviewed the script. The roles they played did not intersect, and there were no scenes where they would appear simultaneously. Plus, Shi Yunyin was only guest-starring in a minor role, so they should not meet.

The high expectations from Jun and the large expenses needed to raise a child left her no choice but to go through with the performance.

"It’s been so many years, and as the elder sister, don’t you think you should at least say hello to me?" Shi Yunyin’s face had long lost the fear and shock from the car earlier; it was now full of contempt and irony. Her voice was small, almost audible only to Shi Su.

Shi Su’s gaze did not waver; her eyes slightly cold, yet hiding her thoughts: "When did you ever treat me as a sister?"

Shi Yunyin curled her lips into a scornful smile: "Five years gone, even your tone has become so estranged?"

Seeing Shi Yunyin’s innocent smile, Shi Su lightly furrowed her brows, unwilling to tangle with her, refused further engagement, and simply turned away.

Shi Su dressed quite plainly for convenience in practice, wearing a light cyan chiffon short-sleeve shirt and loose, comfortable white pants, with no jewelry, her backpack was just a canvas bag.

But in Shi Yunyin’s eyes, Shi Su’s outfit couldn’t be more mediocre; she figured Shi Su hadn’t been living any better over the years outside, which somehow made her feel at ease.

She asked her assistant for her phone and directly called Director Chen Yang, briefly and succinctly, requesting a change of the actor for the second female lead.

Director Chen Yang had just received a call from Mr. Cai a few minutes ago, saying that the actress called Shi Su for the second female lead suited Tian Yuli’s character very well, praised her several times, and mentioned giving her more opportunities to perform on set.

It was rare for a newcomer to be praised by Cai Hong; the circle hardly had them. Right after he began to value her, Shi Yunyin suddenly requested a replacement.

Chen Yang couldn’t figure out where this Shi Su emerged from.

In this industry, female artists who Shi Yunyin personally targeted for tear-offs were nearly all first-line stars, extremely famous, worthy of Shi Yunyin’s contention. But this Shi Su... an unknown little actress...

"The actress is already decided, and the contract has been signed. Unless Shi Su unilaterally breaks the contract, how could we just replace someone? Moreover, she truly fits the role well."

Shi Yunyin’s face instantly clouded over: "Director Chen, we’ve known each other for years, and I’ve taken this project purely for our friendship. I don’t have any other request, but Shi Su cannot stay."

"..." Chen Yang was a bit troubled: "Let me consult with other personnel first?"

Hearing this possibility, Shi Yunyin said no more and directly hung up the phone.

She turned her gaze towards the direction Shi Su left, her eyes cooled a bit.

She absolutely couldn’t allow Shi Su any chances to be discovered by more people. If someone caught onto the secret from five years ago...

No way.

She couldn’t let her stay in the entertainment industry to threaten her!
