Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 164 Lin Qingruan x Mo Yucheng: You're really desperate

When Lin Qingruan first met Mo Yucheng, she was struck by his presence unintentionally.

She is not a pure person. She wanders in a bizarre world, eager to seize every opportunity.

She often went to places with rich people. She was pretty and good at talking. It's not that no one had ever offered her an olive branch, but maybe she was a little too proud and always felt that her life was not at the end of its rope yet, so she didn't want to degenerate and become the kept lover of those old men.

She hated those hypocritical men who had obscene eyes in front of her but pretended to be a gentleman. He smiled and said to her, "I have a movie role that suits you very well. Room number is 3786. Do you want to come and talk to me in detail?"

In general, she is a depraved person but not completely depraved. She sticks to the last bit of moral bottom line and wanders around the world with a playful attitude.

Model Tina, who was traveling with her, had already made it big by switching careers to become a minor actress in Hengdian, earning a steady income. Before she left, she kindly advised her, "Qing Ruan, there are good people and bad people in the world, but the most miserable are those who stand in the middle. You can't be happy purely out of kindness, and you can't let go of your conscience to make your life better. You won't get far this way."

Lin Qingruan shrugged and said it was nothing.

"Anyway, I just need to earn enough money for tuition and living expenses. It's not worth it for me to sell my body for money."

It was a chilly December day. She was shivering in the cold wind in her high-slit cheongsam. The guests coming and going were dressed gorgeously. The prosperity of brocade drew a brilliant color in her eyes. But she could only pull the corners of her mouth stiffly, and still stubbornly maintain the most appropriate smile of a lady of etiquette on her face that was frozen to the point of numbness.

"Then you just wait for the pie in the sky to fall and hit you!" Tina gave her an unpleasant look, but before leaving the city, she still threw her a platinum invitation letter from the East Suburbs.

"This is my last parting gift for you. I was planning to keep it for myself. You know Director Gong. The movie he made won the Academy Award two years ago. If you don't want to sell your smiles, seize this opportunity."

She marveled at this grand event and felt that the world was so splendored and she was just a speck of dust among them.

After all, she also makes a living under various spotlights. Lin Qingruan's expression remained unchanged, and she was looking for the figure of Director Gong with a clear goal.

There were too many people in this room, and there were even two stars that Lin Qingruan could only see on the screen. Beauty was a commodity waiting to be sold here, and the moment she pushed the door open, she felt the gazes from all directions.

Lin Qingruan nodded. Since she couldn't find suitable clothes, she wore this cheongsam. It just so happened that Director Gong's award-winning new movie was a drama set in the Republic of China. She chose this as her unique metaphor and ran over, gritting her teeth and resisting the shivering coldness.

There were a lot of people, including celebrities from all walks of life, dressed in suits and ties, wearing jewelry and jade. The entire East Suburb seemed to be decorated by lights into a palace of eternal daylight.

"Maybe if I'm lucky enough, a brainless rich second generation guy will really take a fancy to me and let me have a sweet dream?"

That platinum invitation was quite useful. It was like a subtle pass. When she took it out, she was already considered an admitted guest.

Lin Qingruan suppressed her anxiety and combed her hair one last time. She raised her legs, pretending to be calm, and walked towards this world.

She was stopped halfway. The graceful actress raised her chin and glanced at her. The smoke rings from the filter had the taste of mint popping beads. She raised her lips and asked slowly, "Who are you looking for?"

There was a room number suffix on each invitation letter. The waiter led her to the innermost room. Lin Qingruan was a little nervous before stepping in. The second she stepped in, she realized that she was just overthinking.

Lin Qingruan reported Director Gong's name, and a sneer of contempt fell. The female star glanced at her and said sarcastically, "What works have you acted in? Do you have any representative works?"

Despite the obvious sarcasm, Lin Qingruan's expression did not change at all.

She raised a faint smile and held the female star's arm affectionately, "I just came here to play a small role to earn some money. I think only a queen like Sister Qingdai is qualified to play a leading lady of Director Gong's level." Jiang Qingdai glanced at her, her expression softened a lot, and she unconsciously showed pride on her face. She snorted and asked her, "Do you know me?"

Lin Qingruan went with the flow and acted like an excited fan who had met the real person.

"Of course, I'm your loyal fan. By the way, Sister Qingdai, I haven't congratulated you on winning the award for your last play yet."

Jiang Qingdai waved her hands and said without any modesty, "Oh my, I expected that the movie would win the award."

She looked Lin Qingruan up and down and said, "You are a college student who came out to earn a living, right? Come on, I'll take you to see if there are any small roles left over by the director's team. It depends on your luck."

Lin Qingruan followed her to the innermost suite. The moment she opened the door, she felt all eyes from all directions focused on her face.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she straightened her back, gritting her teeth and withstanding the scrutiny.

Someone in the crowd said, "This is beautiful."

"It smells a bit like Hong Kong or Taiwan. Is she the new sister your company has signed?"

Jiang Qingdai smiled and pulled out a chair to sit down. She looked very experienced here. She pulled Lin Qingruan in front of the directors and said half-seriously, "My new godsister, do you have a role for me?"

"As for roles, there are many. It depends on which one you want."

Coincidentally, the waiter brought a whole row of champagne at this time, and the orange-yellow wine looked even more dazzling under the bright lights.

While she was still lingering on her words, Lin Qingruan saw Jiang Qingdai winking at her.

She always seizes every opportunity, and immediately brings a glass of wine, puts on a smile and shouts, "Director, I toast to you."

"Everyone here is a director, and they all have a lot of plays in their hands. Would you like to toast one of them?"

Lin Qingruan gritted her teeth and looked over. It was a middle-aged man in a shirt. She didn't know which director he was, and didn't want to offend anyone here, so she simply toasted him one cup after another. Halfway through the drink, she felt her stomach churning, and she forced herself to hold back the urge to vomit.

Jiang Qingdai smacked her lips, reached out to help her, and sighed, "You really work hard."

Lin Qingruan pulled her lower lip, "Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not grab it?"

She stumbled twice, but was still quick to block a glass of wine for Jiang Qingdai. Lin Qingruan raised the wine glass, decisively and without owing any favors.

"Thank you for helping me connect today."

"It's just a small favor." Jiang Qingdai put her hand on her shoulder and looked her over. "In fact, you may not get a role tonight, even if it's a small one."

Jiang Qingdai hit the nail on the head: "You look too cold and your facial features are aggressive. You will outshine others in a TV series, and you will easily attract attention if you play a supporting role."
