Chapter 85 -   Conscience ("Every word of yours hurts like a dagger. I don't feel that you have a conscience.")    

The charity ball ended smoothly, Xu WanZhi happened to walk past Jiang ChenXi on her way out and she greeted him naturally. Without Jiang YueXian’s introduction, Xu WanZhi felt that she had left Jiang ChenXi with a decent impression. Jiang YueXian even told her to be well prepared for the audition and try to get the Best New Actress award. 

After the event was over, Xu WanZhi got back inside her nanny van and opened up Weibo. That’s when she noticed that news about the red-carpet event had already taken over half the Weibo. 

All the account owners had amazing photo editing speed. 

On the topic list, the most trended one was titled “Three Film Empresses in the Same Frame; New Actress Xu WanZhi Looked Like a Fairy; Who was the Winner of Tonight’s Red-Carpet Event”.

From the start of the article there was a series of high definition pictures of all of the actresses, in order of popularity. One could immediately see all the actresses’ outfits and make over. 

Xu WanZhi was listed closer toward the end. Xiao Yuan scanned down the list and was still able to quickly locate her. “WanZhi-jie, look. Boat load of actresses, all of them beautiful, but you were the one who stood out the most! I could spot you right away. Then, looking at the other, tsk tsk tsk, all meh.”

Xu WanZhi’s thought was still on Mu ZhenYu. She merely mumbled an acknowledgement and didn’t pay Xiao Yuan too much attention. 

Xiao Yuan studied her look and could tell there Xu WanZhi had something on her mind. She slowed down purposefully and said, “Let me read this to you. It says here that, Xu WanZhi, how had been up on the most trended list a lot as of late, has also attended the red-carpet event. Her Tianna Chou spring-summer series short dress was very well received. Her pendant earrings and necklace from Brand B’s Whisper Series gave her an unearthly feel. She had thoroughly demonstrated to us the charm of Brand B’s #1 spokesperson. In front of the red carpet, she was in the same picture as the three film empresses, including Chen Jin, and had attracted a lot of discussions. Judging from the pictures from the event, the three film empresses were already the age of an older sister. In comparison, the new girl and the collagen on her cheeks were simply better.” Xiao Yuan skimmed over the article quickly and finally gave her summary on it. “Blah blah blah, after that it was all about your scandal with Jiang YueXian a while back and then being seen together today. Look at this, WanZhi-jie. This article mentioned more about you than all three of obsolete film empresses. I think your audition for ‘Plainness’ would be a sure in.”

Seeing that Xu WanZhi still didn’t look too happy, Xiao Yuan added, “It says here that from third tier all the way to first tier, let it be the pictures taken on site or the ones that had been edited, they all looked fake. Except for yours, your on-site pictures looked even better than the edited ones. They all said you looked like a fairy who could stir up a breeze when you walked. And, Tianna had reposted your pictures too. She even said that you’ve helped her re-experienced the feeling of youth and heart throb when she was a young designer…” Xiao Yuan went on excitedly for while but still couldn’t move Xu WanZhi. She finally couldn't help but asked, “WanZhi-jie, what you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”

“Oh?” Xu WanZhi paused for a little before she looked away from the window. 

The truth was, she was thinking about the original novel. She had no recollection on the name Feng Chun. As far as the original novel was concerned, all she could think of was the romantic scenes of breaking up and getting back together between Qin Sheng and Liang ZhiQuan.

As for Mu ZhenYu, his role was that of a “functional villain”. He created obstacles between the otherwise uneventful relationship between the male and female leads and finally contrasted the happiness between them with his own tragic end. 

But how was he able to get back onto his feet? And why did he end up in jail?

And what kind of a role did Feng Chun play in all these?

She had no idea whatsoever.
