Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1353 - 1331: The Actress Playing the Concubine

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1331: The Actress Playing the Concubine

Ya Chen’s tone was somewhat mocking: "It seems you’re really chatting online? Are you sure you know what they’re thinking? They could sell you, and you wouldn’t even know!"

"What about people I know in real life? When they become indifferent, they’re worse than online strangers. I actually feel online people are more genuine," she retorted.

So what if she and Ya Chen were married? The man in front of her cared less than Mr. N.

During her toughest times, it was Mr. N who comforted her, listened to her vent, and even bid her good night gently every day.

But what about him? As her husband, what did he do?

The chill rose around the corners of her lips, she distanced herself from him and quickly walked toward the bedroom.

Why should she stand here accepting his interrogation, explaining everything to him?

Anyway, in half a month, her marriage with him would be over.

Living in a hotel was better than Chu Xinyue imagined.

During the day, she would still go to work at the magazine.

In the evenings, she would return to the hotel and retreat to her room, rarely running into him.

Occasionally, when they met in the living room, she would sneak into her room when he wasn’t paying attention and lock the door.

...

Morning, at the film set.

Although it was early, many cast and crew members were already there, preparing for the day’s shoot.

This period drama about clan struggles was set to air during prime time.

The female lead played the legitimate wife of the male lead in the drama, portrayed by a comeback diva-like actress, revered as Sister Quan in the industry.

Sister Quan wasn’t young anymore; she was a veteran star, famous for twenty years and well-respected in the industry, practically a legend.

Later, she married into a wealthy family and retired; it was said she had a loving marriage and a son and a daughter.

Now, with her children grown and her life idle, she’s acting again as a hobby, supported by her doting husband.

Conveniently, the director of this drama was an old friend of hers. After reading the script, she felt the role of the legitimate wife suited her and agreed with keen interest.

Her comeback, and the heavyweight drama she joined, sparked great media interest. Sister Quan was also today’s interview target for Liangyou Magazine.

This morning, Chu Xinyue had arrived with Sister Xu, standing with the news staff, waiting for Sister Quan’s scene to end before squeezing in an interview.

Since the day her resignation failed and her secret was discovered, Chu Xinyue had not brought up quitting again.

He had already found out she was faking amnesia; what’s the point of leaving?

Watching the filming on set, Chu Xinyue whispered to Sister Xu:

"Sister Quan really takes great care of herself; you’d never guess she’s almost fifty. If you didn’t say, people would believe she’s twenty-seven or eight. Plus, a veteran star is truly different; even after such a long break, her comeback attracts so much attention, she’s not outdated at all, and her acting is amazing, not rusty at all..."

Sister Xu whispered back: "Of course, Sister Quan was a legendary figure back then. Countless directors and screenwriters lined up to offer scripts at her feet, her status in the entertainment industry was like a queen’s, no one dared disobey her, and she eliminated countless rivals along the way."

Chu Xinyue couldn’t help but smile: "No wonder she plays the legitimate wife so convincingly, portraying the character’s majesty and ruthlessness vividly. She’s the queen of the entertainment world, with a husband who adores her, it’s simply a true-to-life performance as the household matriarch..."

As she spoke, her voice lowered, her gaze fixed.

The camera captured a scene of the legitimate wife chastising a concubine in the manor.

As a drama about clan struggles, besides the legitimate wife, there were plenty of concubines.

There were seven or eight legitimate concubines with the male lead, and even more mistresses kept without titles.

Aside from a few concubines who consistently opposed the legitimate wife, most mistresses were extras, all referred to as "Mistress X," with few lines, essentially cannon fodder roles.

Among the brightly dressed, flashy group of concubine extras, one standing at the back looked so familiar!

Chu Xinyue caught her breath; it was Lan Yurou.

One of the concubine actresses was Lan Yurou!

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she might be mistaken.

But in fact, she wasn’t mistaken; it was indeed Lan Yurou.

Since the heart transplant surgery in Nanga last night, she hadn’t seen Lan Yurou and never inquired.

The issue with Lan Yurou was a wound between her and Ya Chen, seemingly forever reminding her of her husband’s infidelity, which she preferred not to touch.

Unexpectedly, she saw her on a filming set in China today.

Lan Yurou wore a coarse-looking costume, playing a non-speaking extra concubine, with her head down in the crowd.

After the first scene wrapped up, someone rushed to bring Sister Quan water, a coat, fanned her, and retouched her makeup.

Even other supporting actresses, though not as well-treated as Sister Quan, had people offering them food and drinks.

Only Lan Yurou was left unattended, quietly heading backstage alone.

Chu Xinyue was even more amazed; in S Country, Lan Yurou was still a first-tier star, why had she come to China to act, reduced to this state?

After the interview, Chu Xinyue, full of thoughts, bid farewell to Sister Xu and took a cab to Disheng.

...

Huo Family.

Chu Xinyue narrated what she had seen to Jiayi, who was also surprised: "Are you sure you didn’t see wrong? Could it just be someone who looks similar?"

Chu Xinyue shook her head; anyone else she might mistake, but could she really mistake a former rival in love?

Jiayi pondered for a moment and said, "My shop previously provided costumes for this drama crew, I’m quite familiar with the director, I’ll ask." With that, she made a phone call.

Seven or eight minutes later, Jiayi hung up the phone.

Chu Xinyue looked at her: "Well? Is the concubine played by Lan Yurou?"

Jiayi nodded: "Yes. The director said she came to China half a month ago, apparently just released from the hospital in Nanga. Since China and S Country both fall under the Chinese-speaking market, she came to try her luck here."

Chu Xinyue was even more astonished: "Released from the hospital? What does that mean? And... why is she trying her luck in China?"

At that moment, a clear voice came from the staircase corner: "Don’t you know yet?"

The two of them looked over to see Huo Zhenyang descending from the upstairs study, momentarily stunned.

Jiayi quickly went over: "Know what?"

Huo Zhenyang’s lips moved: "This matter should be explained to her by Ya Chen himself."

Chu Xinyue’s heart pounded as she stood up abruptly: "Tell me what’s going on..."

Huo Zhenyang had promised Ya Chen, and the promises between men couldn’t be broken. Just as he was about to politely decline, he was jabbed by the Little Kitten next to him: "Spit it out already."
