Chapter 146

Xing Wenxin stared at Chen Shan; she knew that if she wanted to get ahead, she had to have a guide, to find a big shot to help her soar. Xing Wenxin didn't know anyone else, and she had only found Chen Shan's contact information by asking around. It was very normal for an artist to offer themselves, and besides, offering herself to a woman was nothing, and wasn't it true that she had always quite liked Chen Shan anyway?

"What does Miss Xing mean by this?" Chen Shan asked, her face calm as she tapped lightly on the table beside her.

"My meaning, you understand very well."

Chen Shan suddenly let out a laugh, and then, without even looking at Xing Wenxin, she picked up Xing Wenxin's resume and said in a flat tone, "Little girl, Hollywood is a place where people eat people. I suggest you don't come to this place to develop your career; go back to China. You have a very good figure; I hope you don't waste it."

Her voice was cold and detached, the implication of rejection particularly obvious.

Xing Wenxin was stunned. Wasn't Chen Shan's sexual orientation a problem? Why wouldn't she even look at her? At that moment, Xing Wenxin felt incredibly humiliated and awkward; she felt as pathetic as a clown, and she was still naked. Moreover, Chen Shan had rejected her, and she harbored a grudge against Chen Shan.

Chen Shan hadn't been wrong; Xing Wenxin did indeed hit walls everywhere in Hollywood. Whenever this happened, Xing Wenxin would think of that night she stood naked before Chen Shan, so shameful.

Because her career in Hollywood didn't go smoothly, Xing Wenxin returned to her country, though she was also listless about her prospects domestically. However, she soon took a fancy to that man surnamed Wang, married him quickly, and had Wang Sisi.

She thought that the night with Chen Shan had already been turned over in her life.

But now, Chen Shan had appeared again. She was Shi Ning's mother, which meant that the night Xing Wenxin could never escape was now laid out before everyone. Whether or not people would see it depended on how Chen Shan chose. Xing Wenxin was somewhat frantic, somewhat unable to catch her breath.

Xing Wenxin naturally did not want the events of that year to repeat themselves, so she arranged a meeting with Ge Zhanhui.

Ge Zhanhui was the boss of the talent agency that had pushed Xing Wenxin out back then; she and Ge Zhanhui had actually had a pretty good relationship in those days...

Xing Wenxin already knew what Shi Ning's "Mother" was about; she had learned it by asking around through Mei Han and knew the general idea. Since Shi Ning's "Mother" had already started filming, Xing Wenxin prepared to film a project with the same theme and release it first. By the time Shi Ning's movie was released, the audience would have no interest left.

Xing Wenxin lost no time in arranging a meeting with Ge Zhanhui.

Back at the hotel, Chen Shan smiled and said to Shi Ning, "Ningning, Mom hasn't met this young Lu yet. We are staying here with your father for a few days; won't you let us meet him? I've inquired; he is from the Jiangzhou Lu Family, his family background is prominent, and his character is also quite good. It seems... it seems he has never even been in a relationship."

"Mom, what kind of joke are you making?" Shi Ning said. Who would believe that Lu Yao had never been in a relationship?

"Mom isn't joking, Mom is very serious. He really hasn't been in a relationship. Of course, it's also possible he has, and Mom just didn't find out," Chen Shan said.

"That's right, Dad wants to meet this young man even more, to see if I can rest assured handing you over to him." Shi Yao's temper had always been mild, and he said to Shi Ning very gently.

But as soon as Chen Shan heard Shi Yao speak, the smile on her face vanished immediately, and she walked to the side.

Shi Ning looked at her father and mother, whose accumulated grievances over so many years never seemed to dissipate, and felt quite troubled.

Over these years, Shi Ning's cold personality was largely related to the poor relationship between her father and mother.
