Chapter 2311 - 37: Three Years Later: Another Encounter with the White Lotus (Part 4)

"Song Le’s fame is not without luck and hype. She... is filled with drama now... The point is, didn’t you fade out of the entertainment industry? This girl got plastic surgery to look like you... So, part of the audience’s affection for her is because of you."

"Hmm, I know..."

"Ah, anyway, outsiders can’t see it, but insiders can easily see through this sly fox’s disguise. Many of my friends tell me that Song Le climbs up by stepping on others; one moment she’s respectfully greeting her seniors, and the next, she’s secretly complaining to the media about being bullied by them."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Hmm... a high-level white lotus.

It is indeed an upgraded version.

Undeniably, Song Le has become smarter.

Gu Xiran’s lips twitched, a hint of coldness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Sister Ping... do you think... bitches will get what’s coming to them eventually?"

"Of course."

"Well, so let’s not bother ourselves with this... just wait to see her get what’s due."

Gu Xiran’s bright smile improved Sister Ping’s mood as well.

Sister Ping couldn’t help but remark, "Actually, it wouldn’t be hard for her to get it; if you pretend to be bullied by her, Qin Jin would come to rescue you... couldn’t that just crush her?"

Gu Xiran: "..."

Yeah... it was Qin Jin who set a trap back then to ruin Song Le’s reputation.

But I, the "white lotus," saved Song Le’s life for the sake of secrets...

That’s how this matter came to nothing later.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes flashed with a shadow; if something were to happen to me, would Qin Jin come to save me this time?

...

The audition started soon.

The friends with a say in the industry, with good character, Gu Xiran took the initiative to greet them.

After a long time without meeting, there was naturally some warm small talk.

Everyone had a good impression of Gu Xiran since she started as a child star, often playing roles like their younger sister.

After the small talk, Sister Ping let Gu Xiran sit on the sofa alone to memorize her lines.

Gu Xiran quietly sat on the sofa, going over her lines once more.

Noticing someone approaching her, Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes paused, looking up at Song Le in front of her, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

This white lotus really likes to push herself into the spotlight.

Making me feel upset and quite annoyed.

"Gu Xiran, long time no see."

"Hmm."

Gu Xiran responded lightly, although Song Le wore a false formulaic smile, she could still see the distaste and malice in the woman’s eyes.

Heh...

Looks like the disguise level isn’t high enough.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes scanned Song Le in front of her, the aversion was obvious, yet Song Le didn’t catch on, actively stepping forward to speak.

"Long time no see, mind if I sit and chat for a bit?"

"Hmm, sit."

Gu Xiran responded lightly, then raised her eyebrows and said.

"Song Le, I think three years ago, there wasn’t much to say between us, and after three years, there seems to be even less... I don’t know where you get the confidence... to think our relationship is close."

Gu Xiran’s words were full of sarcasm, her voice not too loud nor too soft, just enough for others nearby to hear, making Song Le’s face turn pale and then red, looking somewhat unsightly.

"We’ve known each other since childhood... and I did save your life back then."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Here we go again.

The same old cliché.

Doesn’t this woman find it disgusting?

Gu Xiran nodded, then rebutted.

"Yes, and I gave a generous reward, plus your whole family took advantage of it..."

Song Le: "..."

Seeing Gu Xiran’s domineering stance, Song Le couldn’t help but speak, "Gu Xiran, do you always have to be so overbearing? You... why do you always confidently like to oppress others."

Heh...

"What do you have to offer now? You’ve been out of the entertainment industry for three years, and now, my fame in the circle is definitely higher than yours."

"I want Director Li’s role today, but here you are again... why do you always want to compete with me?"

"You’ve already taken Qin Jin away from me."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Song Le’s voice was normal at first, but then it immediately became quieter.

She really does care about her image.

Song Le from three years later is indeed much more mature than three years ago, at least the fox’s tail isn’t so easily caught.

Gu Xiran pursed her lips, then casually said.

"Something to offer? If I wanted to, I could make the Gu Family a partner of Alliance Heroes, then my daddy would be the producer... I could play whatever role I wanted..."
