Chapter 249 - 249 You are capable, you are powerful!_l
As for what happened last night, Lin Ranzhu could not recall it clearly. All she remembered was that her cousin said she was going to introduce her to an agent, and if that agent liked her, she would have a good chance to enter the entertainment industry.
Without much thought, she went with her cousin.
While having dinner at a restaurant waiting for the agent, her cousin handed her a drink.
She had no guard up, so she drank it directly.
Afterwards, her whole body felt hot and she was dizzy. When she finally woke up, she was already in hospital.
“I really can’t believe that my cousin would do such a thing to me.”
Lin Ranzhu hugged her knees, buried her pale little face on it, her eyes red, filled with anger and sadness.
Even until now, she still found it hard to believe that her cousin, who had grown up with her, was such a malicious person.
“No, I need to ask her about it.”
After saying that, Lin Ranzhu quickly got up from the bed and prepared to rush out.
Gu Li reached out to stop her, “Are you going out looking like this?”
Only then did Lin Ranzhu realize belatedly that she was still wearing a hospital gown.
Gu Li sighed lightly and passed a bag she brought over to her, “I brought a change of clothes for you. You can change into it.”
“This…”
Lin Ranzhu hesitated a bit.
She might not have money, but that doesn’t mean she had no knowledge. She could tell that the clothes Gu Li brought were definitely expensive just by the look of it, even without checking the price tag. She was afraid that if she spoiled it, she wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Gu Li saw through her concerns and said, “I don’t like the style of these clothes and I’m not going towear them. If you don’t want them, they will just be wasted.”
“I… thank you, Miss Gu.”
Seeing that Gu Li had said so much, if she didn’t accept them, she would seem ungrateful. So, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Ranzhu reached out and took the bag.
After changing her clothes and freshening up, Gu Li took her out of the hospital.
Once they got in the car, Gu Li couldn’t help but say to her, “I won’t stop you from confronting her, but do you really think she would admit it if you just went straight to her?”
“What should I do then?”
Lin Ranzhu was unsure.
“If I were you, I would wait for her to come to me, then record everything secretly and gather evidence,” Gu Li suggested.
Clearly, Lin Ranzhu’s cousin, Little Zhou, and her boss, Cheng Ying, were not doing this for the first time. After all, Da Ha had previously said that GE Entertainment was not clean, and besides having artists with character issues, there were also many underhand deals.
“But… I don’t want to send her to jail,” Lin Ranzhu admitted. “No matter how bad she is, she is still my cousin.”
Gu Li sighed, “Now I understand why she was able to betray you time and time again.”
So weak and motherly, she was even counting money for those who sold her out. If such a person wasn’t taken advantage of, who would be?
In the end, it was because she was too kind, wasn’t it?
“I’m sorry, Miss Gu. Have I disappointed you?” Lin Ranzhu tucked in her neck, asking her timidly.
Gu Li said indifferently, “No, everyone has their own thoughts and choices. I will not impose my will on you. Just remember to be more discerning in the future.”
“…Yes.”
Lin Ranzhu obediently nodded, her heart filled with admiration for Gu Li.
She wished she could always stay by Miss Gu’s side.
Unfortunately, she was worthless, Gu Li would surely not be interested in her.
There was a sudden silence in the car.
After a while, Gu Li asked, “Where do you live? I’ll drop you off.”
“11 Qinghe Road,” Lin Ranzhu quickly replied.
“Alright.”
Gu Li nodded slightly, and used her phone to navigate for “11 Qinghe Road”, then casually turned on the radio.
In a short while, the DJ’s magnetic voice came from the loudspeaker, “GE Entertainment is really producing fresh talent recently, especially the following female singer, an exceptionally rare beauty with talent.
She is none other than Zhong Menglei, who just debuted last week with the song “Wild Dream” that swept all the major charts. Let’s see how good “Wild Dream”, a song she wrote and composed herself, really is.”
The moment the DJ finished speaking, a beautiful melody slowly began to play, engaging the heart, but the singing ability of the so-called Zhong Menglei was subpar. If someone else sang, the effect would probably be much better.
Gu Li made her judgement quietly, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Ranzhu clenching her fists tightly and her body shaking violently.
“What happened to you?” Gu Li asked, concerned.
Lin Ranzhu unclenched her fists, and said tremblingly, “This… this song, I wrote it. I only showed it to my cousin, but I didn’t expect…”
She couldn’t continue speaking, tears uncontrollably ran down her cheeks.
Gu Li was at a loss. She didn’t know how to comfort her at the moment.
Looking at it from another perspective, if one day Murong Qian also betrayed her like this, she would probably lose her mind, right?
“ah-choo–”
Meanwhile, in M Country, Murong Qian unexpectedly sneezed.
“Did you catch a cold?” The agent sitting next to her asked concernedly.
Murong Qian shook her head, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“Good. It’s your turn to audition soon, don’t worry, just perform as usual.”
“Okay,”
Murong Qian nodded slightly and rubbed her forehead.
She didn’t feel well. She had originally planned to rest at home, but then she received a call from Director Desen’s assistant inviting her to audition for the lead role again. She immediately rushed over with her agent.
This was a great opportunity, regardless of success or failure, she would seize it.
While chatting with her agent, the door to the audition room suddenly opened and a charming girl strolled out.
At first glance, Murong Qian recognized her, it was her arch-enemy, Yu Youlan, who had been selected as the lead actress.
She disliked this woman; she just wanted to avoid her and keep her out of her sight.
Who knew, upon seeing her, Yu Youlan strutted over in 10-centimeter-high heels with an air of arrogance.
Seeing this, Murong Qian knew she couldn’t escape, so she stood up.
They were about the same height; one was pure, and the other was alluring, each with their own charm.
However, the purity was fake, and the allure… was genuinely alluring.
“Hehe, as expected of the sexy diva, to actually get Director Desen to change his mind and hold an audition again, you’re great!” Yu Youlan evidently thought that it was Murong Qian’s doing and was full of resentment towards her.
“Hehe,” Murong Qian sneered and shot back without courtesy, “Director Desen is always just and strict. Maybe he just couldn’t stand some people’s antics and decided to risk offending investors to choose an actor again in order to maintain the quality of the work. After all, some people’s acting skills…well, leave much to be desired.”
“You- – ” Yu Youlan glared at her ferociously, her beautiful makeup twisted in anger.
