"What the heck is going on?"
"What's wrong?" Wen Zhiyan pushed open the bedroom door and saw Fang Miaomiao looking at her phone screen in surprise. He asked out of curiosity.
Fang Miaomiao held up her phone. "Is Fang Yuan's situation related to you?"
Wen Zhiyan raised an eyebrow. "What do you think, Miaomiao?"
"I think this has something to do with you."
"Miaomiao," Wen Zhiyan said, sounding a bit helpless. "I don't have the power to make others commit crimes."
He had only brought Fang Yuan's dirty secrets into the public eye.
"Sigh," Fang Miaomiao shook her head helplessly. "I didn't expect Fang Yuan to not only break the law but also mess around outside."
"Miaomiao, don't worry, I would never do that."
Fang Miaomiao scoffed. "Who can say for sure about the future?"
Wen Zhiyan looked at the smug figure on the bed with a mix of helplessness and amusement. "You don't trust me?"
"I trust myself more."
Wen Zhiyan reached out and tapped Fang Miaomiao's forehead. "Alright, I'll use the rest of my life to prove it to you. Please, Mrs. Wen, review my performance."
"That's more like it."
"So, Mrs. Wen, can you get out of bed to have breakfast? And then we need to go out for a bit."
"I might not be able to go with you."
"Why not?"
"Director Chen said there will be a premiere of 'The Big Villain' in A City, and we need to meet the audience."
"Then I'll come find you after I finish my business?"
Fang Miaomiao nodded. "Sure."
After breakfast.
The two went their separate ways. Fang Miaomiao went to find Chen Tianming, and Wen Zhiyan went to find Fang Zhihuan.
"Hey, why are you here so early today?" Chen Tianming habitually looked behind Fang Miaomiao, and was surprised when he didn't see anyone. "It's just you alone."
Fang Miaomiao heard this and was a bit confused. "I'm here to work on post-release support. Why would Wen Zhiyan be here?"
Chen Tianming gave an awkward smile. "I just thought you and Mr. Wen have been inseparable lately."
"Director Chen, long time no see."
Chen Tianming froze and looked towards the entrance in disbelief. Standing there was Fang Yanhuan, wearing a fluffy dress and looking a bit tired.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yanhuan asked with a light laugh. "Director Chen looks very surprised to see me. But I'm the female lead of this movie, isn't it normal for me to attend the premiere?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
He just hadn't expected Fang Yanhuan to actually dare to show up.
Although he hadn't removed Fang Yanhuan's name from the movie.
"Director Chen, please don't worry. I haven't broken any laws or done anything wrong. I know there's been a lot of negative comments about me online recently, but who knows if what's said online is true or false, right?"
Just one Wang Jiahui.
It was impossible for her to be completely blacklisted.
"Sister Miaomiao, long time no see."
"If I were you, I'd behave myself and not think about things that don't belong to me," Fang Miaomiao said calmly.
Fang Yanhuan's smile faltered, but she quickly regained her composure. "Miaomiao is right. I was wrong in the past. I've thought a lot during this time, and I should apologize to you."
Fang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, unsure if she was being sincere or not.
"Miaomiao?" Chen Tianming also looked complicated.
Logically, Fang Yanhuan was the female lead of this movie, and they couldn't stop her from attending the premiere.
Moreover, Fang Yanhuan hadn't actually committed any illegal acts, and Wang Jiahui couldn't completely ban her.
"I know this isn't what you intended," Fang Miaomiao said to Chen Tianming, who looked apologetic. "Don't worry, I won't instigate conflict with her."
Chen Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for a staff member to come over.
"Director Chen."
"Keep an eye on Fang Yanhuan. Make sure she doesn't do anything inappropriate, especially when answering audience questions after the movie. If she starts saying anything, have someone immediately cut off her microphone. Also, have a few people watch her. If there's any issue, escort her away by force."
The staff member glanced at Fang Yanhuan, who had already gone to the makeup room, and nodded heavily. "Director Chen, don't worry, we will definitely not let Fang Yanhuan ruin the premiere."
Last time, with Fei Qingqing's incident, they had to find other actresses overnight to save the day. Fortunately, she was only the third or even fourth female lead, and her screen time wasn't as much as Cui Mantong's.
Otherwise, the movie would have been almost ruined.
"Very good, excellent," Chen Tianming nodded with satisfaction.
He hadn't had any twitches in his right eyelid recently, so today was bound to be a success.
Yes, that's right.
"You're really lucky," Fang Yanhuan said with a complex expression, looking at Fang Miaomiao who was surrounded by makeup artists.
"I don't think so," Fang Miaomiao replied calmly. She had gone through a lot to get where she was today. Was she lucky?
Perhaps, but she had also faced many difficulties. Her journey wasn't smooth sailing.
While she sympathized with Fang Yanhuan's past experiences, it wasn't an excuse for her to misbehave.
Fang Yanhuan's eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
"Fang Miaomiao, you're as annoying as ever."
So annoying that she couldn't help but want to ruin her.
But now, she had no power, no money, no influence. How could she make Fang Miaomiao pay the price?
"Thank you," Fang Miaomiao said with a smile. "You are too, your presence is quite annoying."
After speaking, Fang Miaomiao got up and left directly after the makeup artists finished once she had her makeup done, not giving Fang Yanhuan another glance.
Fang Yanhuan gritted her teeth in frustration. "What kind of makeup is this? You've made me look like a ghost. I'm the female lead!"
The makeup artist rolled her eyes. "I know you're the female lead, but some people are naturally beautiful and look good even without makeup. Others are different; no matter how you try to paint their faces, they still look the same."
It's just that some people have no self-awareness. What could she do?
"You!"
"Miss Fang, it's almost time. If you don't go now, the premiere might end."
Fang Yanhuan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and left after uttering a harsh word.
"I'm very happy that everyone has come to watch our movie. Now, please welcome our creative team!"
As the host's voice fell, the creative team, led by Chen Tianming, walked in from the entrance.
"Oh my god, according to what he said, I get to see Fang Miaomiao, right? The real Fang Miaomiao. No, I have to record this on my phone."
"That's not right, look who that is. She looks familiar. Wait, isn't that Fang Yanhuan, who was blacklisted? Why is she here?"
"Honestly, isn't it normal for her to be here? She wasn't banned by the authorities, and she's the female lead of this movie. It's normal for her to be here."
"Oh my god, I used to think she was so beautiful, like she was radiating light. But now, why does she seem so lifeless, with no light at all?"
