Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

"No, Lu Yan... I mean..."

Just as Liu Yifei was about to correct Lu Yan, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yiyan leading several female classmates through the glass door.

She immediately fell silent, distanced herself from Lu Yan, and her expression became reserved and indifferent. She glanced at Jiang Yiyan and the others out of the corner of her eye, feeling inexplicably nervous.

They probably didn't see it, and they shouldn't misunderstand.

In fact, Liu Yifei was worrying unnecessarily. Not only did no one notice his interaction with Lu Yan just now, but even if someone did see it, they wouldn't think much of it.

Liu Yifei was a very special presence in the 02 acting class. Although she was a classmate, no one treated her as an ordinary classmate; instead, they regarded her as a future star.

Naturally, people feel a little distant when they are with her, and this special class goddess is born with a higher status than everyone else.

No one would associate her with the boys in her class.

Jiang Yiyan entered first, her eyes scanning the lobby. When she saw Lu Yan, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. She stepped forward, placed her handbag on the seat next to Lu Yan, and sat down.

Thus, Lu Yan was sandwiched between the two girls.

Jiang Yiyan gave Liu Yifei a deep look before looking away, her smile becoming generous and natural. She patted Lu Yan's shoulder and said, "You, Lu Yan, you came with Qianqian without even saying anything, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei felt a pang of panic, but fortunately, due to her professionalism, she managed to remain composed and quickly explained, "I...I came by myself."

Lu Yan scoffed inwardly, raising a slight brow. "My dear young lady, can't you tell she's trying to trick you into revealing information?"

Soon after, Zhu Yawen and the other classmates arrived. When Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin saw Liu Yifei sitting next to Lu Yan, they were both taken aback, exchanged glances, and winked at each other.

Luo Jin: [Aren't they really okay? They're inseparable even when they're eating!]

Zhu Yawen: [How would I know? Maybe it's just a coincidence.]

Luo Jin: [Something's not right, something's extremely wrong!]

At this moment, Luo Jin glanced at the ceiling and involuntarily imagined a little drama: Once upon a time, there was a poor boy who fell in love with a very famous rich girl.

The girl's mother opposed their relationship, so the star-crossed lovers could only date in secret.

They never dared to show it in front of others, for fear that their relationship would be discovered.

In an instant, Luo Jin's mind went blank as if a sage had blessed him: "Brother, I've got it!!!"

The concept of a "couple" doesn't exist yet, but Luo Jin has already subtly labeled Lu Yan and Liu Yifei as a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Lu Yan: "Why do I feel like there's a pair of mournful eyes staring at me..."

With the arrival of all the classmates and their tutor, Lao Wang, the dinner officially began. Lu Yan and his group sat at a table full of familiar faces, including Lao Wang, Jiang Yiyan, Liu Xiaojian, Lu Yan, and others...

The other students were seated at three tables nearby, which was just enough for them.

Old Wang gave a summary of the audition in advance, offering both encouragement and reflection, but he avoided mentioning Lu Yan, thus avoiding this unpleasant topic.

While waiting for the food, everyone started chatting. Even with Teacher Wang there, the atmosphere of the gathering remained unchanged.

Aside from being strict and upholding his teaching philosophy, Lao Wang is mostly very kind.

Lu Yan rested his chin on his hand, staring blankly at the ceiling. What to do next? Was he going to have to start another boring campus life again? Damn it, he wondered if there were any ways to get acting roles or find something to do.

It's a pity he missed the right time. If it had been just two years earlier, coinciding with the World Cup, wouldn't he have become the richest man?

It's worth noting that the Korea-Japan World Cup was full of upsets; who would have thought that even the defending champions, France, would lose 0-1 to World Cup newcomers Senegal?

If we could buy Senegal and Brazil....

Lu Yan stared at the ceiling, a silly grin spreading across his face. He couldn't believe the image was too beautiful.

Suddenly, Jiang Yiyan nudged Lu Yan's arm. Lu Yan turned his head in confusion, and Jiang Yiyan strained her eyes and nose in one direction. Lu Yan looked in that direction.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, walked past them.

Lu Yan's expression subtly changed, and Teacher Wang also looked at the man, letting out a cold snort. Unfortunately, the man didn't see it and just walked past them.

At the elevator at the far end of the restaurant, Zhang Jie stepped into the elevator, followed by his assistant.

The assistant's expression showed a hint of worry: "Mr. Zhang, wasn't that Wang Jinsong from Beijing Film Academy? Is it really appropriate for us to not even say hello?"

"After all, we'll still need to borrow people from the Beijing Film Academy in the future..."

Zhang Jie looked at her assistant, who immediately lowered his head. Zhang Jie said coldly, "You're so scared by Wang Jinsong? You're spineless. Our most important thing right now is to prepare for filming. This film has been in preparation for half a year, and we absolutely cannot have any problems at this time."

"As long as Mr. Yu agrees to plead with Mr. Chen on my behalf, given their relationship, Mr. Chen will definitely not withdraw his investment. Be quick-witted when you meet him later."

"Yes"

At the dinner table, Zhu Yawen only spoke after Zhang Jie and the other person had disappeared from sight.

"Isn't that the producer? What a coincidence to run into him while having dinner."

Wang Jinsong shook his head, put down his cup, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Their film had some funding problems. I heard that the owner of this private restaurant is also in the film and television industry."

They're probably here to attract investment.

The students at the table looked at each other, and they all realized that the people they looked up to were actually just like them in the eyes of others.

"Sigh, the most regrettable one here is Lu Yan. He had a great role, and he just lost it. But Lu Yan, you don't need to be too sad. We don't have any connections in this industry, so we have to learn to accept reality."

Others might avoid the matter out of consideration for Lu Yan's feelings, but Chen Yun had long harbored resentment towards Lu Yan, and now that he finally had a chance to ridicule him, he was unwilling to let it go.

The expressions on the faces of the people at the table changed slightly.

"Chen Yun!"

Wang Jinsong raised his voice, but Chen Yun showed no sign of stopping.

"Teacher Wang, we're all classmates, Lu Yan definitely won't mind. What's wrong with talking about it? You agree, right, Lu Yan?"

Chen Yun gave Lu Yan a provocative look and lifted him up. The atmosphere was starting to get tense. Lu Yan put down the bowl he was playing with.

With a smile on his face, but a voice as sharp as a knife: "Mind your own business. If you can't handle it, shut up, understand?"

"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts. Some people really think they're stars just because they got lucky and made a movie, and they even have a temper."

"Alright, Chen Yun, that's enough!"

Just before their fight was about to escalate, Wang Jinsong finally couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand heavily on the table and scolded Chen Yun. Chen Yun was instantly speechless before coldly turning his head away.

The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became awkward. Fortunately, at that moment, a man in a suit walked over and stood in front of the table.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Lu Yan? Our boss would like to invite you in."
