After Saving Her White Moonlight, She Blackened?! (GL) - Chapter 25
Inside the quiet room, the sound of a racing heartbeat was particularly clear. He Yinshao clutched her chest, her forehead drenched in sweat, as she hugged the quilt and muttered to herself.
“He Yinshao… what on earth are you thinking?!!!”
As the sky outside turned a faint white, He Yinshao pulled out her phone, called a car, and left. The villa was located within the same city where she and Leng Yan lived, so it only took about half an hour to reach her own home by taxi.
When He Yinshao reached the entrance of her neighborhood pulling her suitcase, she saw Leng Junhui…
“Little He!!!” Leng Junhui waved excitedly upon seeing her, running over to take her suitcase. “I have great news! A director is looking for you for a role. You need to go for an audition. If you’re lucky, you might land the second female lead!”
He Yinshao didn’t let go of her suitcase. “I’ll do it myself.”
“What kind of show is it? Which director is looking for me?”
“A Republican-era drama. The director was introduced by Lu Rang; his last name is Bai. However, he has very high standards. The only reason he’s giving you an audition is as a favor to Lu Rang…” Leng Junhui looked a bit worried. “Do you want me to introduce you to other resources instead?”
“No need, this one will do.” He Yinshao remembered that this drama had become a modest hit in her first life, and it was enough to elevate an actor’s status. However, it indeed demanded a lot of fundamental skill.
But having ended her first life as a Best Actress winner, He Yinshao was perfectly capable of handling this role now.
He Yinshao vaguely remembered the stock market trends from her first life. She planned to borrow some more money from Leng Junhui to invest. “Leng Junhui.”
“Ah? What’s wrong?” Leng Junhui was walking beside her and felt a bit flustered at being called by his full name so suddenly.
“Lend me some money. I want to play the stock market.” He Yinshao’s voice was low, but loud enough for him to hear.
“Oh, is that all?” Leng Junhui secretly wiped away some sweat. “How much?”
“Six million.” He Yinshao suggested a relatively low amount.
“Small problem.” Leng Junhui smiled and wiped his brow again. “I’ll transfer the money to you this afternoon. Can you send me your card number then?”
He didn’t actually have that much money, but his cousin did.
“Okay.” Unaware of Leng Junhui’s private calculations, He Yinshao lowered her eyes with a trace of guilt. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I’ll head out first.” Leng Junhui waved and drove toward the villa where Leng Yan lived.
Because she had been in meetings from the previous night until today, Leng Yan had only just gotten home and slept for four hours before being woken up by that scoundrel Leng Junhui…
The moment Leng Junhui entered, he let out a loud howl as usual: “Leng Yan!!! Get out here!!!”
Such a familiar scene…
After being jolted awake, Leng Yan appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor, once again holding a golf club. “Leng. Jun. Hui! You have a death wish!!”
“Wait a minute!!!” Leng Junhui held up a hand to stop her, speaking with surprising confidence. “Leng Yan, were you lying when you said you give He Yinshao a hundred thousand every month?”
“When have I ever lied?” Leng Yan gripped the golf club tightly. “Where did you hear such a rumor?”
“Little He came to me today to borrow money, and she’s even preparing to audition for Director Bai’s drama.” Leng Junhui pointed at Leng Yan’s face and scolded, “Leng Yan, are you mistreating Little He?”
“I am not…” Leng Yan loosened her grip on the club. “How much did she borrow from you?”
“Six million.”
Leng Yan’s hand paused. Is He Yinshao preparing to start making her move against me?
She felt a strange discomfort in her heart.
“What does she want the money for?” Leng Yan asked, relaxing her grip further.
Could she not just rely on He Feng to destroy me? Why borrow money?
“Little He, she…”
“Forget it, no need to say more.” Leng Yan walked to the coffee table, picked up her wallet, and casually pulled out a card. “There’s twenty million on this. Give it to her. If she needs to borrow money in the future, just have her tell my assistant directly, and we’ll transfer it.”
What was the point of asking? It was better to let He Yinshao build up her strength sooner, destroy her, and finish the plot.
“Oh, okay…” Leng Junhui took the card, feeling a bit bewildered. He thought his older sister would be stingy. What was going on? Had she lost her mind?
“If there’s nothing else, get out. Don’t come looking for me again.” Leng Yan gave the bodyguards a look and turned to go upstairs.
“Hey!! Hey hey! Don’t be like this! Big sister!!” Leng Junhui was carried out by the bodyguards at the door.
It was in the style of the “Coffin Dance” meme.
Leng Junhui was tossed outside the villa gates. He rubbed his backside, still clutching the card with twenty million on it.
“Mua~ my lovely money~”
He kissed the card, unable to contain his excitement. He immediately asked He Yinshao for her bank account number and transferred ten million to her.
By the time He Yinshao received the money, she was already at the audition site.
Wearing a qipao, she sat by the door quietly reading the script. Her aura was remarkably similar to that of a talented lady from the Republican era.
“Next! He Yinshao! Come in for the audition.”
“Okay.” He Yinshao stood up calmly. Opening the door, she saw Director Bai looking irritable and swearing under his breath.
“A bunch of useless trash! What are you even good for? No acting skills at all!!” In his agitation, he kept tapping the table with the pen in his hand.
“Director, Ms. He is here.”
“Mhm, let’s begin.” Director Bai leaned back in his chair, his posture lazy and relaxed. Clearly, he didn’t have high hopes for He Yinshao.
He Yinshao was performing a confrontation scene where her character, a Republican-era spy, is discovered and locked in an interrogation room.
The actor opposite her sneered and grabbed He Yinshao by the neck. “Miss Jiang, you truly are a great actress to have fooled everyone so completely. Pity you’ve finally fallen into our hands.”
“You flatter me…” He Yinshao looked as if she were truly struggling for breath, her face flushing red. “To be praised by an officer as formidable as yourself is indeed my honor.”
“Keep smiling!” The actor slammed He Yinshao’s head back with force. “Is Miss Jiang feeling proud? We’ll see who has the last laugh. Victory belongs to us.”
“Victory… belongs only to China…” Before being choked into silence, He Yinshao squeezed out the words with difficulty but with powerful conviction.
After the audition ended, He Yinshao’s face returned to its calm expression as she looked at Director Bai.
The admiration in Director Bai’s eyes was impossible to hide. He pretended to be composed, stroking his beard, though his voice rose slightly with excitement: “Go home and wait for the notification.”
“Okay.” He Yinshao wiped the artificial blood from her face, bowed to them, and turned to leave.
“Director, you seem to really admire her?” Wang Chaoyang had been with Director Bai all day; the director’s emotions were usually obvious. He would mock poor actors with cold irony, but for a high-potential actor like the one just now, he would feign calmness and tell them to wait for news.
“Mhm… her delivery is very solid, and she has great potential for the future.” Director Bai nodded, looking thoughtful. “A pity the role of the female lead has already been settled.”
Thinking of the female lead chosen by the investors to be promoted, Director Bai couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
