Chapter 44: It’s Exactly Like I Said

Ruan Zeyan’s actions confused the people there, but only Li Fei’s face showed joy. She shuffled close to Guan Meiyi, whispering, “Meiyi, do you see? Mr. Ruan is here to help you.”

“What do you mean?” Guan Meiyi didn’t quite understand, Ruan Zeyan’s sudden appearance was not something she had expected. Guan Meiyi certainly wasn’t too happy seeing all the women there primping themselves up to look good to him.

“I sent a message to Mr. Ruan’s assistant earlier, saying that you were bullied by the screenwriter when you were auditioning.” Li Fei was clearly brown nosing, “Look, not only has Mr. Ruan come, he immediately pressured the screenwriter the moment he got here!”

Guan Meiyi looked at Ruan Zeyan, the man was standing with a blank expression beside Ling Tianya, his eyes full of contempt.

“Look, Meiyi, you hold such a high place in Mr. Ruan’s heart, he immediately rushed here to help you the moment he knew you were being bullied.” Li Fei’s eyes twinkled in glee.

Guan Meiyi’s lips turned upwards with glee, and a feeling of happiness gently welled.

She had always thought that he didn’t care about her at all. He never met her in private, he didn’t even speak much to her. He had always disregarded her every time they met. It looked like she was wrong, he did hold her in regard, he was just bad at showing it!

With those thoughts, she lightened up and she was no longer upset.

Ling Tianya sized up Ruan Zeyan, she didn’t quite understand what he was doing, was he trying to put pressure on her? For what? Back at her apartment, he had already been clear about his intent to never see her again. Knowing that she was there, why would he appear?

Eyeing Guan Meiyi, who was basking in joy, Ling Tianya understood.

“So he’s here to help his future-fiance…” she thought.

Ling Tianya couldn’t explain what she was feeling right then if she wanted, it was all jumbled and a huge mess.

“Mr. Ruan, why not take a seat here?” Mr. Wang pointed at his seat, gingerly offering it out. The exchange between Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan definitely made Mr. Wang nervous, he was breaking out in cold sweat.

Ruan Zeyan completely ignored Mr Wang. He looked down at Ling Tianya before commanding coldly, “Get up.”

Ling Tianya remained silent.

Now it changed to ‘Get up’, it looked like this man was fully planning on embarrassing her in public.

She was the core member of the entire production team, but because of Ruan Zeyan, many of the cast would most likely be quite unfriendly to her.

No matter how powerful the screenwriter was, Ruan Zeyan was definitely the person with the most say.

A split second later, Ling Tianya smiled, a smile that was unnaturally coy and seductive, attracting the eyes of all the men in the room. Even if she was being humiliated by Ruan Zeyan in public, she still was graceful, “Since Mr. Ruan likes my seat, then I’ll let him have it.”

She sauntered in her heels to sit down beside Zhang Heng, no longer looking at Mr. Ruan.

Ruan Zeyan got the seat, but he did not take it. Instead, he glowered at Ling Tianya and Zhang Heng.

“Sit there!” Ruan Zeyan’s deep voice rang again, his finger pointed to a seat in the corner.

In the corner there were only two female assistants, seeing Ruan Zeyan pointing at them, they immediately fixed their posture, hearts racing as they looked back.

Ling Tianya followed where his finger was pointed before frowning, “Mr. Ruan, what do you mean?!”

This was getting too far, and he was clearly rubbing away at her patience.

Ruan Zeyan arrogantly lifted his head, his chin pointing at Ling Tianya, “Just what the words mean.”

“Hah!” Ling Tianya glared daggers at Ruan Zeyan, turning around to walk towards the door of the ballroom.

Ruan Zeyan fixated her long legs as she walked away, squinting just the tiniest bit, “Continue,” he ordered.
