Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Two of Them Are the Most Pleasing to the Eye Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Two of Them Are the Most Pleasing to the Eye “The medical profession is very demanding, very noble. Without you, what would we do when we get sick?” Tang Yu said.

“Where are you coming from?” Meng Jilin asked. “I heard about your mother, take care.”

Tang Yu nodded, “I went to my mother’s villa, just to have a look.” She didn’t say much else.

Meng Jilin was cultured; he didn’t ask where the swelling on her face had come from.

As a doctor, he could more easily tell it was from being slapped.

She was grateful to Meng Jilin for not asking anything, knowing it preserved her self-esteem.

Meng Jilin glanced at his wristwatch and lifted a hand, “Shall we have lunch together?”

“Don’t you have to go to the hospital?”

“I don’t need to be in the operating room today, and there’s nothing else, it’s my time off.”

Tang Yu got into Meng Jilin’s car and they went to a restaurant for lunch.

Meng Jilin was eloquent, creating a relaxed atmosphere during the meal that made Tang Yu gradually forget the shadow of being hit.

But after the meal, when she returned home and saw her still-swollen face in the mirror, her nose soured and her eyes glistened with tears.

When she was seven or eight years old, she accidentally broke one of Tang Fulin’s liquor bottles and was swung around by the hair and slapped twice by Tang Fulin.

She’d bled from her nose from the beating then.

And now, Ye Sihan had slapped her face.

She felt that all the times Tang Fulin had hit her weren’t as serious or frightening as this single slap from Ye Sihan.

It was as if her heart had fallen to the ground, shattering into pieces, the pain was unbearable.

Even the air seemed to carry her agony.

Tang Yu rested at home for over a week, and the swelling on her face had all but gone away, her face returning to its normal state.

While staying at home, if she wasn’t staring blankly, then she was sleeping.

Apart from Ye Yuli calling her, the former lawyer had not come to ask her about the will anymore.

Tang Yu figured Ye Sihan must have taken it all.

She didn’t care; it was never hers to begin with, so she felt a weight lifted from her shoulders.

Besides, it was in Ye Sihan’s hands now, not someone else’s, Ye Xianghua wouldn’t mind.

Sitting on the sofa, Tang Yu was facing the television, which was showing a fantasy drama. The leading lady’s acting was superb, and she looked beautiful crying.

The leading lady was Yuan Xinru.

If the rating for the current palace drama was high, that would mean back-to-back hits, and Yuan Xinru’s fame would double.

She’d even surpass the top four young actresses.

The future opportunities would come pouring in.

No doubt, that was something coveted by all, both veterans and newcomers in the entertainment industry.

Tang Yu, feeling irritable, hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees.

What exactly was she supposed to do next?

Hide herself away like an ostrich?

After the incident at the Ye Mansion, she knew she was even less likely to see her child…

Ye Sihan’s dislike for her wouldn’t change just because Yu Zhaohui had passed away…

Tang Yu was on the verge of breaking down from the depression…

The ringtone of the mobile phone beside her rang out. Tang Yu lifted her lackluster face, picked up the phone, saw the caller ID, and answered, “What’s up?”

“I found you a role. Want to meet the director?” Ye Yuli asked.

“I’m really not in the mood right now…” Without seeing her children, Tang Yu felt she had lost her life’s purpose.

“Don’t you want the children to see you? They can see you if you’re on television,” he reasoned.

Tang Yu listened, her eyes welling up with a sense of grievance.

Was this the only way for her children to remember her now?

Did she have any other choice?

After a silence, she agreed to meet with Ye Yuli.

Ye Yuli took her to meet the director, and they had dinner together.

The director was a renowned filmmaker, especially talented at directing youth films, which were very popular among the young audience.

Upon seeing Tang Yu for the first time, he was instantly struck by her, saying she was more suited for the role of the female lead.

Moreover, the director had seen her in that family scheming drama, and thought her acting was quite good.

The director asked her to come for a screen test the next day, which was practically a sure thing.

But Tang Yu was well aware, that the director favored her because of Ye Yuli’s influence.

The screen test the next day went very well, and she was just waiting to sign the contract.

Since she didn’t have her own company, she signed directly with the production team.

The director wanted the key actors to gather, so he invited them to the bar for some fun.

Tang Yu got out of the car and stood at the entrance of Crown Bar, feeling hesitant inside.

The director had mentioned the bar’s name on the phone.

It was a place where Ye Sihan would frequent.

She didn’t want to go.

But wanting to act in someone else’s film, she couldn’t just refuse to give face, right?

Moreover, Ye Sihan wouldn’t be there every day, it wasn’t certain they would meet.

Tang Yu went to the designated private room and stood at the door, glancing at the one at the far end. The door was closed, with no bodyguards standing outside, indicating Ye Sihan wasn’t there.

She didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.

If she wanted to see Ye Sihan, the only reason was for the sake of their child.

As long as the child was with Ye Sihan, her consciousness was always being dragged along.

As she was lost in thought, a commotion came from the end of the corridor she had come through.

Tang Yu looked over unconsciously, and Ye Sihan was walking this way, followed by his bodyguards and the bar owner.

His presence was formidable.

Caught off guard, she collided with those deep, sharp black eyes, and Tang Yu’s heartbeat became irregular.

She stood to the side, avoiding his gaze.

As Ye Sihan drew nearer, the sense of oppression grew stronger.

His shadow engulfed her and then left.

It was brief, yet it made Tang Yu hold her breath.

Only when Ye Sihan entered the private room and the door closed was she able to breathe normally again.

And the left side of her face, which had been hit before, seemed to regain its pain.

The psychological shadow of being hit caused her such panic she could hardly contain herself.

She ran to the restroom to splash her face with cold water before she gradually calmed down.

When she entered the private room, she noticed Yuan Xinru was also there.

Upon seeing her, Yuan Xinru’s eyes reddened with animosity as if meeting a sworn enemy, “Why are you here?”

“Hello,” Tang Yu did not answer, but dodged the question with a greeting.

It was normal to know each other in the entertainment circle.

The director said, “She’s the female lead of my next movie.”

“What? She’s acting?” Yuan Xinru had heard that the director would come to the bar, so she had her agent arrange a meeting, all for the role of the movie’s female lead, right?

She wanted to act in movies, not TV dramas anymore.

Shouldn’t everyone be ambitious?

What level was Tang Yu at, to compete with her?

Just as she was about to flirt with the director, the private room door opened, and the director’s assistant walked in, “Director Ding, the king of power in the capital, Ye Sihan, is in the inside room. The drama he’s currently investing in, our company is also one of the producers, should we go and say hello?”

Upon hearing this, the director’s expression tightened, and he said, “Tang Yu, Yuan Xinru, both of you come with me to say hello.”

In terms of looks, they were the most pleasing to the eye.

Even if not exploiting their beauty, it was still pleasant for a man to look at!

Additionally, as far as he knew, Ye Yuli and Ye Sihan were brothers, so there was no reason to avoid them.

Tang Yu wanted to refuse because the thought of contacting Ye Sihan made her so nervous her limbs went weak.

But the words reached her lips and then were swallowed back down.
