Chapter 848: Must She Be The Stepping Stone?
“Looks like you’ve caught on. However, Lu Yi has been very protective of her, and he will never let you draw her blood,” Sun Yuhan sneered even more ironically. “When Lu Yi got involved in a car accident, she was the one who donated her blood for him. Apparently, she has the same blood type as Lu Yi. If it wasn’t for that incident, I really wouldn’t have found out that they are of the same blood type!”
In her heart, she let out yet another snicker. Sun Yuhan was Su Muran’s biological sister, so naturally, they could not have different blood types. In the end, the two of them would have to fight until death. By then, she would be the only one left.
“What are you thinking about?” Suddenly, a hand clutched her chin. Her eyes glistened and she flashed another smile, “I’m not telling you what I’m thinking.”
Lu Qin was not so easy to trick, “Say...” His hands gently grazed Sun Yuhan’s face, “Are you really Ye Rong’s daughter, and Ye Jianguo’s granddaughter? Then, who is your father?”
Su Yuhan’s expression darkened. “My mother didn’t tell me. Anyway, I have my grandfather, so there is no difference in having a father or not.”
She sighed softly, and her gaze shimmered, “Could it be that you know?” She asked Lu Qin instead, “If you know, could you please tell me?”
Lu Qin lifted a strand of her hair and drew her into his arms. His steamy and scorching hot voice trailed behind her ears, giving her skin a thin layer of compact goosebumps.
“I think I know...”
Sun Yuhan felt shocked. She thought Lu Qin actually knew something, but she quickly consoled herself, reassuring herself that it was not possible. It was impossible, it was definitely impossible. There was no way Lu Qin would know. No one in this world would know.
However, was this real?
In fact, there was no true secret under this massive sky.
You might think you were the only one who bore your secret, however, you might have disclosed it inadvertently, unbeknownst to yourself.
As a matter of fact, almost everyone had their own secrets. Some might have plenty, others had a mere handful. Some were beautiful, and some might be gruesome. Some would ultimately get revealed, whereas some would remain concealed, to be brought all the way into your grave with you.
Sun Yuhan hoped her secret would fall into the last category, the one which would accompany her till her last breath.
Yan Huan set her phone down and switched on the computer. Scrolling through recent news, it seemed her name had yet again found its spot on the trending page. If it was not for Yi Ling who reported to her earlier, she would not have known that she had been caught in the crossfire once again. It remained a mystery to her as to why her name had appeared so much more frequently as of late.
‘Yan Huan was willing to sacrifice herself at any cost to grant fame to a rookie celebrity, Sun Yuhan.’
‘What charm did newcomer Sun Yuhan possess, to successfully impel Yan Huan to make such extensive sacrifices and willingly serve as a supporting character for her?’
Every word in every sentence was unintentionally speaking highly of Sun Yuhan. What’s more, Yan Huan’s name was tied to it.
‘Bringing fame’, ‘charm’, was it not obvious that she was being forced?
Her reputation was not that easy to borrow. Even if she was willing to let others utilize it, Sun Yuhan would be the last person on her list.
Then, she produced her phone again and dialed Luo Lin’s number.
“Luo Lin, it’s me, Yan Huan.”
“Yes, I know.” Coincidentally, Luo Lin was also studying a recent news article. “Your reputation has been misused by Sun Yuhan. I do not suggest you be associated with that woman. He’s merely one incompetent teammate.”
Having seen the unedited version of the latest TV series, what she could say was that it was the weirdest drama she had ever seen in the past few years, not to mention it was produced by Linlang. Actually, the plot was not exactly substandard, but the female lead was truly incompetent.
If this kind of person was tied with Yan Huan and marketed together, she feared that there would be people who ended up uncovering the inside story, further draining Yan Huan’s fame and reputation.
Yan Huan pursed her rosy lips gently.
“You have to think of a way to explain it on my behalf.”
“Got it.” Luo Lin promised, the gears in her mind were already turning to forge a clear explanation for these events. As for the people who were good at catching wind of such information, she really admired their skills.
Nevertheless, she thoroughly understood why Yan Huan could never be bound to Su Muran.
Not long later, Yan Huan thought she might be able to find news of her support toward the rookie celebrity on the Internet which were on another level.
For example, according to Yan Huan’s manager, the tale about Yan Huan supporting the rookie celebrity was purely fictitious, and that the two of them were mere acquaintances.
That was right, they were not close. Let those haters track down those inside stories on their own. Some of them actually knew the reasons behind this issue. Whether they found out from the Ye family or the Lu family, some things just could not be brought onto the table.
Thus, the initial ‘tie-together’ marketing strategy was gradually forgotten after being cast aside.
Yan Huan originally thought that this entire episode would end in this way. However, much to her surprise, she received a phone call from Ye Chuji the very next day, asking her to drop by the Ye family’s place again. The place she loathed the most now was the Ye’s.
Ye Chuji had not been in contact with her for a long time. As for the reason behind this sudden visit, Yan Huan could easily guess without thinking long and hard. Needless to say, the ‘tie-together’ marketing strategy was most probably the Ye family’s idea.
However, they had used her name without asking for her consent. They did not even bother to ask whether she was willing to do it or agreed to it.
Her car came to a halt right at the doorstep of the Ye family’s house. Every time she visited, it would ruin her mood, and even breathing felt like a chore.
Ye Chuji was already there, awaiting her arrival when she entered.
“Take a seat,” Ye Chuji gestured to the couch as he walked over and sat down.
Yan Huan sauntered over and seated herself opposite him.
“How may I help you, uncle?”
What else could Ye Chuji reply to this rigid greeting?
Even Ye Chuji himself felt like he was tricking Yan Huan, digging a pit for her to jump into. However, even if she did not comply, he still had to entertain Sun Yuhan, which meant that he still had to continue digging that pit.
“I hope you do not deny the news about you supporting Sun Yuhan.”
“You published the news.” The smile on Yan Huan’s face did not falter, but it was just perched there, frozen.
“Mister Ye, have you ever notified me?”
Instead of addressing him as uncle, she directly called him Mister Ye. Ye Chuji knew that in the future, the relationship between Yan Huan and the Ye family would not be as close as it used to be. Perhaps it was because of the matter with Sun Yuhan, but it had definitely come to an end.
However, he had to admit it eventually.
“Yes, we published it. Yuhan wants to enter the entertainment industry and she needs a stepping stone.”
“So, I’m that stepping stone, hmm?” Yan Huan laughed mockingly at herself. “Mister Ye, why should I be obliged to give Sun Yuhan the boost she needs?”
“The Ye family has 10 percent of Linlang’s shares. It is considered our company. I don’t think trying to boost a person’s fame is deemed too much,” Ye Chuji remarked, interrupting Yan Huan mid-sentence.
