Yu Xiao Yan had spent these last days completing every other arrangements concerning her contract and the movie she would be acting in soon.
Early this morning the drama team had officially released the list of their film cast on the their weibo, she sat casually on her sofa and scrolled through the comment on the weibo page.
[I thought the female lead. was going to be Zhao lanzhou so who the f*ck is Yu xiao Yan? and what shady deal happened behind our back?] any wise person who read this comment would be able to tell that this was one of Zhao lanzhou internet water armirs trying to cause problems for Yu Xiao Yan by stirring up ugly comments online.
[person above, the cast had never been decided, Zhao lanzhou only bragged on how she would get it besides is there anyone shadier than the almighty Zhao lanzhou?]
[I agree with you, people should not instigate trouble for innocent actresses and actors. This casts were carefully hand picked by Director Jiang himself]
[ I really want to see who this Yu Xiao Yan that was able to push Zhao lanzhou into a secondary female role even our magnificent movie Queen Shen xue was reduced to an ordinary role haha! she must be made out of stardust and gold water]
[I trust Director Jiang's judgement]
[isn't everybody forgetting something? what of the secondary male lead? why is he still anonymous?]
[yeah I thought of it too! could it be maybe a mega super star?]
[or someone coming out of retirement?]
Yu Xiao Yan watch had the conversation continued on and on. very many people had responded to the weibo post in just few hours, she loved how the comment were mainly positive.
The turn up to this weibo post was equivalent to how people would turn up when the film is finally out
She was still smiling in joy when her phone rang, she looked at the unknown number and for unknown reason didn't feel like picking it up, still she hesitated then picked it.
"Xiao yan longest time" a feminine voice rang out of the receiver, Yu Xiao Yan furrowed her brows when she heard the voice of Yu Zhi Ruo, she could already imagine why she was calling her, out of reflex she moved to cut the call but then stopped, wouldn't it be fun to entertain Yu zhi ruo foolery?
"Xiao Yan I heard you're back in imperial city, why didn't you come to see mum and dad, even Grandpa and grandma were sad that you didn't come" the clear innocent voice continuously rang out of the speaker, Yu Xiao Yan scoffed as she listened to Yu Zhi Ruo rant on how all of them missed her and how her parents looked for her when she left home and how the mother had sleepless nights thinking of her and so on. she marvelled how well Yu Zhi Ruo could keep on her act of innocent fragile flower
"Xiao Yan I know that you're still_"
"Are you done? if not go straight to why you're on my phone" Yu Xiao Yan was tired of hearing her overly pitiful voice so she cut her off before she could start bringing up the issues of that year.
"um well I saw that you got the female lead role in Director Jiang upcoming movie so l wanted to congratulations you" she paused as if she was waiting to hear what Yu Xiao Yan would say but didn't get any reply.
"Yu Xiao Yan why don't you come over to graceful clouds now that you are an actress" she offered with a generous voice, If Yu Xiao Yan did not already know who Yu Zhi Ruo truely was she would have been deceived by this voice.
"Xiao Yan why don't you come home and let us make up for the years_"
"thank you but I don't need your sympathy" she cut the call after replying, she didn't have the time to entertain Yu Zhi Ruo drama, she still had to plan and get ready for the opening event coming up in a few days. she knew if Yu Zhi Ruo was being all kind and sisters, it must be because everyone in the Yu family was there and she wanted to paint her black in front of her parent and grandparents
Over in the Yu family residence, Yu Wang shu was already fuming after the phone call, it's just like Yu Xiao Yan had thought. Yu Zhi Ruo had really made the phone call to spoil her before the elders.
"what an unfilial child! how is she even a daughter of the Yu family" Yu Wang shu complained with his expression getting stern every minute.
"grandpa calm down maybe sister is in a bad mood that's why she spoke like that" Yu Zhi Ruo 'tried' to calm down the angry old man, his expression became gentler as he listened to her speak
"I saw it from day one that's why I never bothered to treat her as my own child, coupled with the unsightly things she did to embarrass this family, oh how can I be unlucky to give birth to such child" Gao ling wailed as her husband tried to comfort her too.
" it's our fault, even God must have seen our misfortune and decided to bless us with Zhi Ruo" Yu Shufen consoled his wife.
" that's true even master shi confirmed that Zhi Ruo would bring blessing to her family and the world was lucky to have her in it" Yu Anna commented praising Yu Zhi Ruo even more.
Although Tan ya-ting didn't really like Gao ling she didn't feel any iota of hatred towards Yu Xiao Yan, she also never agreed to overlooked things she did in the past but some how she felt there was more to everything than they know and for some reason she wasn't particularly trusting towards this filial and successful granddaughter, she just seemed too glib for a truly honest person.
Yu Zhi Ruo listened to how everybody sang praises of her and only disdain for Yu Xiao Yan, she was so happy. Even though she noticed Tan ya-ting had not uttered a word since she still felt achieved because everyone that mattered were on her side, especially Yu Wang shu, so the remaining people that didn't trust her which were grand mother Tan ya-ting and her second cousin Yu Anni were of no importance.
she would continue to hit Yu Xiao Yan reputation and even if she was now popular she still would never meet the eyes of the Yu family,
Hmph! it'll take a battalion of celestials to take away everything she had wished for!
