76 Unforeseen Events
Luo Ying turned her head and saw Lin Su and Su Ran walking on the red carpet, hand in hand.
Behind the two of them was a person Luo Ying didn’t know.
Su Ran was wearing a simple white long dress today, which suited her pure persona very well.
The crowd did not stop with the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ of admiration for her.
However, some were also wondering who the person behind them was.
That person was wearing a beautiful red dress that made a bold, loud statement. Her hair was tied up high, and she had an expression that kept strangers away.
She raised her head and glanced around the hall. Her eyes fell on Luo Ying’s face.
In an instant, her face was filled with disdain.
“Boss, who is that?” Chi Tong said.
He had noticed her unfriendly gaze.
Luo Ying thought hard about it, and realized that she was possibly the other sister of Lin Su and Lin Ping, Lin Jin.
Lin Jin had pursued Lu Zhao before, and she had not been discreet about it.
Back then, for some reason, Lu Zhao had turned down the Lin family’s marriage and instead agreed to the Luo family’s marriage.
The Lin family was much more powerful than the Luo family. What’s more, Luo Ying had been vehemently against the marriage and only wanted to be with Lin Su.
Ever since then, Lin Jin bore a deep hatred for Luo Ying.
Having solved the mystery, Luo Ying no longer paid them any attention and turned to walk into the banquet hall.
Annual meetings like this were one of the few occasions where she allowed herself to let loose on her dietary restrictions.
As soon as she entered the hall, she began to enjoy the snacks.
The people at the party sat in groups of two or three, and some even danced on the dance floor. It was a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
The big screen was also showing the achievements of the artistes of the year.
The banquet officially began with Lin Su’s entrance.
Lin Su walked up to the podium and bowed to the audience.
“I’m Lin Su, the boss of Lin Entertainment. I’m also an actor, myself.”
Lin Su smiled and briefly introduced the company’s background. “Now, I will play a video to show everyone the works of our company’s artistes this season.”
The lights in the venue went off, and the camera that was filming the live broadcast turned to the big screen.
The big screen suddenly lit up, and discordant images and sounds were transmitted.
“Director Chang, what do you think of this role, Director Chang?” The woman with a pure face lay in the arms of the man with the big belly.
The two of them stumbled toward the hotel door.
This wasn’t an ordinary hotel, but a very high-class hotel for sex. The entire hotel was emitting an ambiguous red light, which set off the subtle expressions of the two people.
It didn’t look like a video, but more like a scene from a third-rate film.
Everyone was shocked.
The viewers in front of the bullet screen were also devastated.
[What is this? Did someone hack his video feed?]
[Why does this woman look so familiar? Isn’t she the new girl from Lin Su’s company?]
[That’s right, that’s right. Isn’t that man the veteran director, Chang Yuan? He’s a model husband, isn’t he? How did the two of them end up together?]
The netizens were no slouches when it came to looking up information online. In less than ten minutes, they had connected all the dots.
Chang Yuan’s latest movie, “Full Moon,” had just officially announced Su Ran as the female lead.
Such a decision had been made without any official announcements, it had been snuck in.
However, Su Ran had been rather popular lately, and Chang Yuan was a known veteran, so everyone had not found it odd.
However, after seeing this video, things did not seem so simple anymore.
By then, the banquet hall was in a mess. The video on the screen was cut off, and a woman’s heart-wrenching scream came from the dining room.
The person who was shouting was not Su Ran, but Chang Yuan’s wife, Chen Jia.
Chen Jia was grabbing Su Ran’s hair tightly and pinning her against the table.
Su Ran’s white dress had been dyed red by the red wine. She looked very disheveled, and her hair was dripping with water.
“Who are you to seduce my husband? You slut!” Rage had fuelled Chen Jia with manic strength. She held Su Ran tightly and kept slapping her face with her other hand.
Su Ran was on the verge of tears. Her entire body was trembling, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Lin Su stepped forward and tried to pull the two apart, but Chen Jia forced him back.
“Ms. Chen, you’re looking at the wrong person. From what I know, Su Ran never wanted this.” A mean female voice rang out in the banquet hall. “Someone drugged and framed her.”
