Late at night, the figure of a man could be seen sitting on a sofa and although the room was dark the little side table lamp and the it cigarettes between his fingers helped illuminate his figure, He looked very lonely and detached from the world.
The table in front of him was littered with the countless number of cigarettes he had smoked but he still didn't show any signs of stopping it slowing down.
Ye Haoran was totally immersed in his thoughts as he stared hopelessly at the picture in his hand. In the picture was a young girl, you could tell she was a teenager, her cheeks full of freckles but it didn't hinder her beauty one bit, it even made her look innocent and cute coupled with her charming smile.
He stared blankly at the pictures but in his eyes could be seen the hurt he was feeling, the guilt he was feeling was even more overwhelming than the hurt. He blamed himself deeply for everything that happened.
Ye weiyang was passing by when he noticed the light reflecting out of his brother's study room, he had assumed that Ye Haoran had left the side lamps on, so he walked in, only to see him wide awake.
"Brother, why haven't you slept?" he asked as he walked towards the man sitting on the sofa, When he saw the countless buds if cigarettes on the table, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Brother it's late, why don't you go to sleep" He urged Ye Haoran. if he left him alone he was sure that Ye Haoran would sit there smoking till it was day break.
"Ye weiyang Do... Do you think... that she might be her?" He asked all of a sudden still looking blankly
Ye weiyang: "..." brother there's no way she would be her, we both saw that girls dead body, so how can she now be awake?. Although this was what he thought Ye weiyang didn't dare state the obvious.
"Brother you should forget about the past, it's not worth thinking of" Ye weiyang tried to advice him but it looked like he was talking to himself.
"Oh" The man sitting down gave this answer and dragged the remaining cigarettes that was in his hands at once. Ye weiyang watched as Ye Haoran stood up and left the room, still holding the picture in his hands. He left the room without turning back, his figure now looked aloof, indifferent and didn't have any sign of the helplessness it once shown.

Ye Haoran wasn't the only one not getting sleep this night, Yu zhi ruo was having a headache as she listened to Shen xue throw a tantrum but she didn't try to stop her as she too was boiling in anger.
"who does she think she is? just an ungrateful b*tch Hmph!" Shen xue whined, she had planned this night to be a night of glory for herself but yet she was overshadowed by a newbie. one that was picked from the streets and not had a vixen face, How couldn't she be angry.
"sis xue she can not compare to your finger, who knows how she got her role? she must have slept with an ugly old man" Yan Ni, Shen xue's little assistant said to comfort the raging actress. The words were meant for Yu xiao yan but Shen xue felt insulted by them too, she ended up glaring at the assistant. It appears she had a skeleton in their cupboard.
Yu zhi ruo pinched the space between her eyes while she cursed Yu xiao yan a thousand times in her head, she had pushed the young and pregnant Yu xiao yan so deep into depression until she suddenly disappeared from home but the same person had appeared this night looking so glamorous and bubbling in the company of influential people.
"ah! that reminds me!...when I ran back to pick my purse, I saw Yu xiao yan get into the car of an Old man" Yan Ni announced, she had gone back to the hall and stumbled on when housekeeper Cai picked up Yu xiao yan and although he was not Old, she knew calling him Old would truly portray Yu xiao yan as a wh*re.
"Really?!" Yu zhi ruo and Shen xue asked simultaneously, both of them were interested by this fact.
"yes I saw them, even... even Shi Zeyi tried to advice her but she didn't listen and just hopped into the man's car" she replied righteously even though she wasn't sure of what was going on at that time.
Hmph! who told her to be a slut clinching unto bro Zeyi the whole time, truly despicable!
"Then did you video them?" Shen xue asked expectantly.
"um...I... I... didn't" it had totally escaped her mind, besides they were quite far from her, it definitely wouldn't have been clear if she tried snapping them.
"idiot! then why are you telling us when you have no proof!" Shen xue fumed even throwing her purse at the little Assistant head.
"I... i" The little assistant held her throbbing head and tried to explain.
"That's enough!" Yu zhi ruo was not ready to witness any drama so she cut them off.
"There's no need crying over spilled milk" she spoke sternly.
"That bitch was lucky this time but next time I bet luck won't be on her side" Shen xue snorted arrogantly.
'she thinks she would steal my role and live happiness? impossible! I'll make sure she suffers for humiliating me!'
"Shooting would start soon right?"
"yes, there's only a little less than a month left"
"Sis Zhi ruo, Do... Do you have a plan?" Shen xue looked suspiciously at Yu zhi ruo, she knew that although Zhi ruo was looking calm she really disliked Yu xiao yan and would find a way to deal with her.
"For now don't bother yourself with her just focus on preparing for when the shooting starts, Yu xiao yan has always been evil, she would surely expose herself as time goes on" Yu zhi ruo answered coldly.
She didn't out destroying Yu xiao yan as her first priority, what was her first priority was how she was going to settle the issue with the Yu family elders. Now that Yu xiao yan was back and seems to be doing well, they would be bent on seeing her. She has to find a way to make them loot Yu xiao yan completely, if they could even cut ties with her or perhaps remove her name from the family registry, then that would be great.
... so great!
"Okay sis Zhi ruo I understand"
Shen xue decided to listen to Yu zhi ruo now then find a way too to make trouble for Yu xiao yan when shooting starts.
