"Where are you going?" Song Qian stopped Yang Baihua at the door. She was dragging the sheets to cover herself and her satin black hair was a bit messy.
Yang Baihua kissed her on the forehead and replied, "I'm going to the audition site where Ran Yue's at."
Frowning, Song Qian questioned him, "Why? Are you worried about her not getting the lead role?"
She eyed him suspiciously.
Yang Baihua sighed and hugged her waist. "Of course not. I don't care if Ran Yue got the lead role or not. What I'm more worried about is Ran Xueyi getting the role instead."
Shocked at what he had just said, Song Qian stared at him widely, "Ran Xueyi is going to audition too? But I thought she already quit the industry after you told her not to do it?!"
"That's what I thought too. After five years... she should have no place to return to in the entertainment industry anymore. But Ran Yue just told me over the phone that Ran Xueyi is back at it again." Yang Baihua felt tremendous disgust toward his fiance. "She must be doing this because she found out about our affair."
"But I thought you already cleared it up with her? Didn't she also say that she won't cancel the engagement with you?" Song Qian asked.
Yang Baihua was also confused. The last time he called Ran Xueyi, she told him that for as long as Song Qian was fired and out of his life, she would continue their engagement and plan their marriage.
Could it be...
"Did somebody see us together?" Yang Baihua suddenly asked.
After his call with Ran Xueyi, Yang Baihua was forced to hide Song Qian and fire her from her secretarial position. Now, the two of them could only see each other in his private villa.
Song Qian scoffed. "Are you saying she hired someone to watch us? Hah... Yang Baihua, aren't you overestimating her too much? Ran Xueyi might have done that 5 years ago... but not after she fell in love with you! She's too blind with love and too stupid to think of doing that."
Song Qian didn't believe that Ran Xueyi had the ability to go against Yang Baihua. No matter if she knew about their affair, Ran Xueyi was so far in love with Yang Baihua that she wouldn't think twice and accept him again.
After all, Ran Xueyi was a lonely girl with nobody who would take her side. Once Yang Baihua reached his hand out to her, she would take it and never let go, like a lost puppy who would wag her tail to whoever gives her food.
...
"Who are you calling?"
Ran Yue was relieved after hearing that Yang Baihua was on his way to the audition site when an overly familiar voice of her older sister behind her back. She almost jumped in fright.
She quickly turned around and saw Ran Xueyi standing there with her back leaning against the wall.
"Are you seriously eavesdropping on other people's calls? Didn't Mother teach you not to do that?" Ran Yue scolded her. Her heart was beating too fast.
Ran Xueyi already did not expect a response from Ran Yue. She peeled her back off from the wall and stepped a bit closer to her younger sister.
Ran Yue stepped back. But Ran Xueyi didn't stop... she took another step forward.
With a smile, Ran Xueyi said, "My dear sister, it isn't my fault that you're making calls in a public area where everyone who would walk here can hear you screaming like a pig even from the very tail of the corridor." Ran Xueyi was almost in glee as she watched Ran Yue's eyes widening and face turning ugly at her words. "And did you forget... mother never taught me anything. Father and mother have never been by my side."
She suddenly stopped advancing toward Ran Yue and inhaled deeply. Then she smiled, "But thanks to them sending me away to grandma and grandpa... I wasn't brought up by them like you and didn't turn into a monster."
"Ran Xueyi--" Ran Yue shouted, but a finger was thrust up and forced her to shut her mouth.
Ran Xueyi slowly dragged her fingers before grabbing Ran Yue's chin, her finger tightening around it as she coldly stared at her younger sister's frightened eyes.
"Shh.. Don't scream..." Ran Xueyi giggled. "See? Where's your manners, Ran Yue? And here I thought mother taught you well enough to know it's not good to shout in public," she let go of Ran Yue's chin and stepped back. "But oh well… it's not your fault that no amount of etiquette class or manners could cure you and your parents' savagery and stupidity."
Ran Yue's face turned pale as she stared at Ran Xueyi's cold smirk. There was it again... the same cruel look that Ran Xueyi showed earlier to her when they were inside the waiting room.
Was Ran Xueyi always like this? Was she always so cold and cruel? Ran Yue refused to believe it, this woman wasn't her innocent, pure, and kind older sister she'd known all over the years!
"What happened to you? Why have you changed so much and so quickly?"
Suddenly, Ran Yue's voice echoed in the corridor. She stared disbelievingly at Ran Xueyi who slowly turned her head.
However, Ran Xueyi didn't reply. She continued to walk back to the waiting room and opened the door.
Hearing the door open, the other actresses and actors who were inside the VIP waiting room simultaneously turned at the direction of the door and watched Ran Xueyi as she silently took her seat.
Ran Yue asked her earlier why she changed...
Ran Xueyi coldly laughed inside her heart. She changed? No, she never changed... She's always been like this. But too bad, everyone just saw her angelic face and fake smile, not knowing that beneath that angel mask, a demon was smiling back at them; ready to rip out their souls and wreak havoc.
